03.2023 | WELCOME BACK! Hello friends old and new! I'm so excited to welcome you all back to SITW! I've made some changes to the plot and added the ability to play supernatural charcaters! So come and check it out! I can't wait to jump back into this little town with all of you!
A strange history surrounds the town, it is a place where mysterious and supernatural things have been known to happen. The reputation of the town reguarly draws in visitors and newcomers alike. While some residents avidly believe in the supernatural, others are far more skeptical. What do you believe?
Species: Naga Species Appearance: N/A Occupation: College Student + Cosmetologist Residence: North Arbor Apartments Age: 24 Birthday: January 1st Height: 5’3 Weight: 120 lbs Hair Color: Brown Eye Color: Brown Sexual Orientation: Bisexual, polyamorous (unexplored)
Notable features: Her curly hair certainly makes her stand out and she’s not shy about letting her booty be seen when given the opportunity. Several small misc tattoos, most notably a snake on her mid back and two interlinked M’s that kind of look like a mountain range on her left wrist.
PERSONALITY
Likes: Being outside, rock climbing, fashion, Maverick, naps, grounding, crystals, energy work, weed, mushrooms, making others feel good about themselves Dislikes: Chlorine pools, addictions, predators (human and animal), soda, early mornings Strengths: Naga abilities, physically active and nutritionally aware, advocate for others Weaknesses: Often fails to see someone’s bad intentions as she assumes everyone is inherently good, indecisive, has a weak spot for pizza
General personality: Max is a very active and social person. She gets tired of being stuck sitting for too long and gets lonely if she’s forced to spend too much time alone. it’s why she loves her job at the beauty salon, she gets to walk around and just talk to people all day. She loves all the tea that her clients spill in the chair.
She will always stand up for the little guy and pays close attention to people she thinks might be struggling in one way or another. She’s a fierce friend who will fight tooth and nail for you. She’ll send back your meal if you don’t like it and you’re too shy to send it back yourself. She’s just the kind of person that will always have your back, often loudly.
She cares about her health but not in an extreme way and tries not to force her active and generally healthy lifestyle onto others. She certainly has her own vices just as everyone does.
HISTORY
Education: HS Graduate, Associates degree in Cosmetology, working on her Bachelor degree in business. Years in Sweetwater: 5 Family Members: (None that live in Sweetwater) Father - Jahi Salah (deceased, was Naga) Mother - Nailah Ahmed (Naga) Step Father - Nassor Ahmed (Human) Two half brothers (17 and 16)
General History: Masika was born in Egypt to her Naga parents, Jahi and Nailah. They lived a beautiful and happy life and her parents were so in love. She remembers watching them as they laughed and cuddled together, her dad smothering her mom with kisses and making her giggle as she tried to escape. It was a beautiful time together but when Masika was 6 her father died. She was told it was a work accident but she’d often wondered if it was something darker.
Her mother, deciding she needed to start over somewhere new, moved her and her daughter to the United States, settling in Arizona for its climate. Masika started to go by Max pretty quickly after the move, her own name too odd for the little Americans to not be teased about. The Michaels, Joshuas, Jessicas, and Sarah’s just couldn’t handle it. Not that she didn’t also get teased about ‘Max’ as it was typical for a boy’s name but she liked standing out a little from the crowd.
Her mother met a man pretty quickly after moving and before she knew it she had two little brothers. Things seemed okay for a while but by the time Max was 11 she had started to notice that her mom had lost a lot of her zest for life, and not just because she was grieving the loss of her first husband. She seemed sad and nervous a lot and it wasn’t until Max was 13 that she realized why.
[TW: Abuse]
Her step father was not treating her mother well. He never hit her but he talked down to her and made her feel terrible. Max quickly grew to hate him but her mother refused to leave. He helped to provide for them and she felt that without him her and daughter would fall into ruin. She felt stuck and Max was too young to help.
It was around the time she hit puberty that her step father started to make little comments to her about her body and her looks. Always complimentary but in a way that made her uncomfortable. He’d ask her to sit on his lap or play with her hair while they sat on the couch. She started wearing baggy clothes at home just to hide herself from him. Lucky for her, it didn’t get particularly bad. For whatever reason he never got up the nerve to full-on abuse her but he did everything but. Max tried to tell her mom a couple of times but she’d just brush it off as him just being friendly and supportive.
As soon as she was 18 she moved out of the house and got as far away as she could. She kind of wandered for a little bit and eventually found herself drawn to Sweetwater, she could feel the supernatural vibes there and it intrigued her. She started college in town when she was 19 and soon after she met the love of her life in Maverick Sanders. He was so adorable and he treated her so well. She was a smitten kitten and fell for him hard. Things were good! Mostly.
But every couple has their little hiccups right? They had moved in together and shared their lives and then Maverick proposed! In spite of things not being perfect, perfect wasn’t something she expected. She only expected things to get better as they worked on themselves and grew together. After becoming engaged she knew she’d have to tell him what she really was and though he was definitely surprised, he handled it well and didn’t pull back from the love he had for her.
Their wedding is coming up, just a few months left, and though she’s been holding it together, she’s starting to have reservations about it all. His bad habits had bothered her before but could he get his shit together or would they be struggling with this for their entire lives together? She doesn’t want to admit it, but she’s worried.
