AFP-WV Releases Report Card on Mountain State Lawmakers
Americans for Prosperity – West Virginia (AFP-WV) today released its 2023 Legislative Key Vote Scorecard. The group’s annual scorecard lists how each lawmaker voted on some of the most important issues the past legislative regular session. The organization has been conducting a scorecard since 2019 to provide transparency for West Virginians on how their lawmakers vote.“As we continue to reignite the American Dream in the Mountain State, we need to ensure lawmakers are passing commonsense policies that expand freedom and opportunity for all,” said State Director Jason Huffman. “It is clear that many principled policymakers share our priorities and worked vigilantly this session to make West Virginia a better place to live, work, and raise a family. We look forward to highlighting our policy champions’ work and thanking them for standing up for commonsense reforms.”
The scorecard was based on the following six bills:
- The largest income tax cut in the history of the state (H.B. 2526)
- The gold standard of public school open enrollment bills (H.B. 2596)
- A partial repeal of the CON Laws (S.B. 613)
- Creating The Student Press Freedom Act (S.B. 121)
- Expanded authority for certified registered nurse anesthetists (H.B. 2613)
- A reform to probation and parole (H.B. 3445)
The full Scorecard downloadable PDF is available here. The digital version of the scorecard can be found by visiting WVscorecard.com.

Holy hell, this game doesn't sleep. We can't keep escalating like this, or the house will just be crushed under the weight of a thousand ogres.
There has to be more to Sburb than just tower defense. Maybe when we get to the First Gate, and 'find the place where the constellations dance', they'll let up a little.
Jade holy shit, this is sick!
Bec seems to agree, he’s headbanging along to it.
I wonder if this is for his benefit? Some dogs really love music.
That’s not Anachronism Island...
YOOOO
Prospit, the Light Planet, is, I’m guessing, a pun on ‘prosper’ or ‘prosperity’. The purple planet may be named after its opposite, something like Sufferus or Jinxen.
Well, I was right that Prospit would orbit Skaia. I just didn’t realize that that wasn’t actually what WV had drawn.
WV was depicting their station as Skaia, and Prospit and its moon(?) as its closest satellite. I guess that nixes the ‘anti-Skaia’ theory I hatched a while back. Dang, I was kinda into that.
So Jade’s dreaming inside the Incipisphere. This is huge, and kind of contradicts already established Nannalore. This place wasn’t supposed to exist until it was instantiated by John’s entry into the Medium, right? Maybe by travelling here in dreams, Jade created it earlier than it was supposed to exist.
Or maybe, just maybe, Nanna wasn’t being entirely honest?
Nah, Nanna wouldn’t do that to us.
Also... I didn’t miss that this chained ‘moon’ has multiple ‘bedroom’ towers.
I’ll eat my hat if it doesn’t have four.

[ E. “RIGGS” RIGSBY, HE/HIM, CIS MAN, ALEX FITZALAN ] is a TWENTY-TWO year old HOT DOG VENDOR from PROSPER, WV. They are LAID-BACK and COMPASSIONATE but also SARDONIC and ALOOF. He reminds me of light wash denim jackets, dirty black boots, unkempt hair and black coffee.
BASICS
FULL NAME: E. E. Rigsby
NICKNAME(S): Riggs ( He couldn’t pronounce his real name when he was a kid. Riggs was the only thing he could say so his aunt and uncle just rolled with it and it stuck. It sounded more like ‘wigs’ when he was a toddler but whatever. )
BIRTHDAY: May 13, 1975
AGE: 22
HOMETOWN: Prosper, WV
BIRTHPLACE: Unknown
RELIGION: Atheist
FAMILY
MOTHER: Victoria “Tori” Marie Rigsby ( Deceased )
FATHER: Jacob “Jake” Wright ( They think?? Most probably him anyway. )
AUNT: Lisa Anne Moore, nee Rigsby ( Housewife )
UNCLE: Peter James Moore ( Construction Manager )
SIBLINGS: None
COUSIN: Georgia May George Moore (High School Senior)
PETS: None
APPEARANCE: Riggs stands just short of 6 feet tall. He’s not skinny but he isn’t jacked either. His hair sits in loose curls on his head and is often unkempt. He hates the feeling of an itchy face so despite his laziness, you’ll never see his facial hair grow beyond a 5 o’clock shadow.
STYLE: Riggs is commonly seen around town wearing the same outfit. A light wash denim jacket over a creased white t-shirt and some dark jeans. On his feet, he rocks a pair of old black work boots – the same pair he’s worn since he was 17. They used to be his uncle’s but they were passed onto Riggs when he took on a summer job at one of his uncle’s construction sites.
FAMILY: Riggs has been in the care of his aunt and uncle, Lisa and Peter, since he was just a few days old. They’re traditional, church-going people. For a while, he thought they were his parents but when he was about 5, they told him he was the abandoned child of a runaway drug addict. Left on the doorstep and everything. To Riggs’s knowledge, he’s an only child. The closest thing he has to a sibling is his cousin, George, who as of a few days ago was sent away upstate to ‘get some clarity’ over their ‘bewildering choices’. (His cousin is going through some gender identity issues. Has cut their hair short and been wearing masculine clothes.) His relationship with his aunt and uncle have never been the best but because of this, it’s now practically non-existent.
FRIENDS: Riggs doesn’t really have a social circle. He’s easygoing enough to get along with a lot of people but he prefers his own company. When he does spend time with others, his presence is faint. And he tends to spend time with ‘burnouts’. He tags along for the adventure but doesn’t contribute much in terms of conversation. It’s possible to know him for years and not know much about him. Riggs wouldn’t say he likes the people he spends time with but company was company when you were bored out of your mind and needed a drink.
LIVING SITUATION: Riggs used to live in a moderately-sized home with his aunt’s family in Prosper. However, since his aunt and uncle’s decision to send his cousin away a few days ago, Riggs has decided he’d rather be anywhere else. It’s only been a couple of days into his homelessness but he’s managed to find a place to sleep for each of them, be it in some girl’s bed or in one of the many abandoned structures in Hazzard. Currently, he’s secretly taken residence in the cramped store room of his workplace. He believes he’ll be fine as long as his supervisor didn’t magically decide they wanted to do inventory.
WORK: If you don’t know Riggs as the sardonic presence making inappropriately timed comments, then you know him as the guy who sells hot dogs over at Hazzard. He’s had the gig since he graduated high school, much to his uncle’s dismay who wanted Riggs to work as part of his construction crew. Being a vendor at Hometown Hotdogs isn’t the most appealing of jobs nor is it particularly worth having pride over, but he finds it entertaining and it lines his pockets with enough spare change to spend on cigarettes and black coffee. Is he the best employee? No. But he shows up on time 98% of the time and does what needs to be get done.
SCHOOL: School has never been Riggs’s strong suit. He didn’t like the structure and what he was learning didn’t interest him. Through the years, his teachers have called him distracted, and when he wasn’t distracted, he simply couldn’t ‘apply himself’. It didn’t mean Riggs was moron though. He was a quick study when he wanted to learn something and he had a lot of patience to learn when something interested him. In fact, he taught himself guitar, origami and a bit of ASL – from Homeless Bob of all people! As a child, Riggs would often have crying fits at school. For years, kids teased him with the words ‘where’s my mommy’, the words he’d often say before bursting into tears. As a teen, he’d get into fights. (And tell people their mommy was in his bed when they’d remind him of his cries in grade school.) The older he got, the less he cared and the quieter he became. People forgot eventually, and if they didn’t, he didn’t care enough to give them a reaction anymore. College is out of the question for Riggs for many reasons. Among them, his grades and that his uncle always expected him to work for his construction crew straight of high school. Though if he attended, he imagined he wouldn’t do great there either.
ASPIRATIONS: If you asked Riggs, he’d tell you dreams aren’t meant for people like him. You learned not to have any growing up in a place like Lockhorn County. Though deep in his heart, Riggs hoped to one day make a living as a musician. He didn’t care about playing stadiums or having crowds of girls scream his name. In his mind, a steady gig at some bar every evening 6 nights a week would be be enough. He just wanted to pluck the strings of his guitar and make people feel something with the sounds he created and the words he decided to share.
RIVALRY: Riggs cared little about where he was from. He cared even less about the rivalry between the two towns. No matter how you looked at it, they were both small shitholes in the middle of nowhere. Though he had to admit: he got a certain pleasure from riling up people who were deeply invested in the rivalry. It was his favorite pastime and what side he was on changed depending on who he was talking to. If a Prosperite hated Hazzard, then he’d say he loved the garbage fire excuse of a town with every part of him. If a Hazzardian hated Prosper, he’d claim it was the only redeemable thing about Lockhorn County and the entire state of West Virginia. All jokes aside, between both towns, he favored Hazzard just a little more. The people there were less pretentious even if they were idiots all the same.

[ MIRA ROSE ISHII, SHE/HER, CISFEMALE, MIDORI FRANCIS ] is a TWENTY-FOUR year old ASSISTANT SUNDAY SCHOOL TEACHER from PROSPER, WV. They are SACCHARINE and BUBBLY but also IGNORANT and INGENUOUS.
BASICS
FULL NAME: Mira-Rose Ishii
NICKNAME(S): Mira, Mi (me), Rose
BIRTHDAY: June 23rd, 1972
AGE: Twenty- Four
HOMETOWN: Prosper, WV
BIRTHPLACE: Prosper WV
RELIGION: Catholic
FAMILY
MOTHER: Beth Rose Taylor
FATHER: Hikaru Ishii
PET(S): A pet goldfish that she thinks she had since she was 4 but it actually kept dying and her dad would replace it without her knowledge. She will describe him as: the longest goldfish to ever live, for that very reason. His name is MISTER ROGERS
APPEARANCE: Standing at five foot two (and a half inches depending on who she wants to impress), Mira’s short jet black hair sits neatly just above her shoulders. Never a frizz out of place. Her dark brown eyes are always kept untouched by any make up, not even a single swoop of mascara, and while her cheeks are naturally rosy she does have a tendency to add some extra blush to highlight those features. Her lips often painted red or nude with gloss.
STYLE: DENIM DENIM DENIM. And floral! She can dress denim up into any occasion she wishes, and she has. A nice white dress with a denim jacket to cover, denim overalls with a long sleeve floral shirt underneath. Denim jeans with a button - up, denim jean shorts. However she can also be seen wearing midi skirts and long dresses on special occasions. None of this seen without one of her many handmade WWJD’s bracelet strapped around her wrist. A color for every occasion. Ones she tried to hand out during conversation plenty of times.
FAMILY: 18 months before she was born, her parents were pregnant with Rai Ishii. He was meant to be their first pride and joy but difficulties during childbirth unfortunately led to his demise. It was hard on their parents, from what she heard, so they quickly tried for another and that’s when MIRA became a concept. She was extremely close to her dad when she was younger. He was her best friend, they spent almost every single day together. He owned his own restaurant and she found enjoyment in watching him cook and interact with the customers. She truly idolized him, but one day he was just gone. It was sudden and unexpected. 14 at the time, her grieving process was cut short when she decided to put all of her attention into being the child her mother yearned for now that it was just the two of them. There had always been distance between her and her mother, one she was quite aware of since she was six years old. It’s not too bad anymore, it was only hard at first because her father was no longer there to protect her from her mother’s quick irritation and need for perfection, but Mira learned to adapt without him. .
FRIENDS: Although it was different when she was younger, now it’s no longer hard for Mira to make friends - just for them to.. you know, want to hang out with her. She’s an extrovert and can make a conversation about anything, it doesn’t take much for her to consider someone a friend. Holding the door open for her? Congrats, you’re now in a 20 minute conversation about the last movie she saw at the drive - in and you probably shouldn’t mention your favorite artist because she WILL make a mixtape. However, she does find that she unintentionally attracts those who are quite opposite of her, as if the universe (or God, as she refers to it) knows that they may need the light and love she is always willing to give. Most of her closest friends are older members of the church, she longs for ones closer to her age. No matter how delicious Gretchen’s homemade meat loaf is, it just isn’t cutting it anymore.
LIVING SITUATION: Currently she still resides with her mother in Prosper, a three bedroom household. Biggest room given to her mother. The second given to her, it’s always kept tidy, white walls with accented floral wallpaper stretched around the room. Photographs of Amy Grant and Spice Girls calmly hung up. The third is used as a computer room, unwatched VHS tapes piled in drawers, it’s her favorite room as her mother barely goes in there. It’s where Mira gets to sneak away to message strangers who just get her on AOL.
WORK: Mira is a Sunday school teacher! For no reason other than the fact that she thought it’s what made sense. She’s been there for a few years now, going from assistant teacher to now having her own classes. She enjoys God, enjoys the kids, enjoys watching them learn and grow, but she isn’t completely content with where she is career wise. She finds herself questioning a lot more in the book she teaches from than what she’d like. She finds some of the parents rude and snotty. She finds waking up super early on a weekend lame, but her patience and love for the kids is what keeps her there. Unbeknownst to her mother, she’s saving most of her earnings to move out.
SCHOOL: Mira was smart enough. Enough that high school was a piece of cake; the education part at least. She participated in plenty of school activities: school plays, DARE programs, ran for class president but didn’t have the popularity to pull it off. She wasn’t bullied per se, but she was weird, extremely sheltered, and kids had no problem pointing that out. College, however, is when she excelled. In college she met so many other people from different cultures. People who were kind and didn’t make fun of her. It’s where she had her first “Real” kiss (because kissing under the slides in grade school does not count), her second secret boyfriend, and it’s where she truly shined. She made sure to always be the very best in school, and while that was tougher to manage when she went to college, she quickly learned that short cuts in life weren’t always a bad thing. She’d cheat on her tests, get her homework finished by some guy right before her second class, and would feel extremely guilty about it: but the validation given to her by her mother when she saw the good grades made it worth it.
ASPIRATIONS: Mira wants to run a business like her father did. Her own restaurant with bible quotes decorated all over the place. When she was younger she dreamed to take over her father’s restaurant but as time went on it never worked that way. Her mother believes it’s best for her to stay pretty so that she can eventually find an attractive and wealthy man to have a family with. She feels icky about that thought but it’s the aspiration she thinks is best to have to live an easy and calm life. Perhaps she won’t be completely happy, but at least she’ll be safe.
RIVALRY: The rivalry is extremely upsetting to her. She loves everyone equally and finds it frustrating that others can’t do the same. The epitome of: I wish I could bake a cake filled with rainbows and smiles and everyone would eat and be happy... She never bought into the idea that you should hate someone because of where they’re from but it’s hard for her not to have judgement towards the people of Hazzard based on things she hears. True or not, her mother has enough disdain towards them that her ignorance rubs off on Mira.
#im mad at how big the character graphic but i put energy sweat tears and time into it so close ur eyes#also 1972???? 1973???? idk idk#dphq:intro#death mention

[ NINA BENTZ, SHE/HER, CIS WOMAN, KENNEDY MCMANN ] is a TWENTY ONE year old WAITRESS from PROSPER, WV. They are QUICK-WITTED and CARING but also GUARDED and DARING.
➤ BASICS
FULL NAME: Nina Viola Bentz
NICKNAME(S): Nini ( by her sister )
BIRTHDAY: April 12th
AGE: 21
HOMETOWN: Prosper, WV
BIRTHPLACE: Prosper, WV
RELIGION: Atheist, raised Christian
➤ FAMILY
MOTHER: Nicole Bentz ( English Teacher )
FATHER: Sebastian Bentz ( Lawyer )
AUNT(S): None
UNCLE(S): None
SIBLING(S): Carina Bentz ( Missing / Presumed Dead )
COUSIN(S): None
PET(S): Hazel ( Orange Tabby Cat )
➤ APPEARANCE:
Nina is 5′7″ with strawberry blonde hair of a darker hue which has grown out a few inches past her shoulders. She often wears it in a clip around the house but on a daily basis, she usually has soft curls or a messy half-up hairstyle. She’s not active in any sports anymore and has a soft figure. Although she loves spending time in the sun, she’s rather pale and only has faint freckles to show for her time outside. Other than her earlobes, she has a helix on her right ear which she got as soon as she turned 18. Although skilled in make up, she often only wears mascara and lipbalm. There’s a noticeable scar on her left knee. She has it since age 7 when she fell from her bike and had to get stitches.
➤ STYLE:
In the past years, her style has changed significantly. She was once a trend chaser, always following the latest news on fashion. These days, Nina can never go wrong with a t-shirt, a pair of jeans and sneakers. She’s a fan of jean jackets and bandana scarfs tied around her neck. None of her daily outfits are complete without her vintage brown leather bag. She always carries it with her. Her jewelery is dainty. Although it’s a small collection, she always has her two favorite rings on (on her right index in silver and her left ring finger in gold), a golden necklace with a tiny north star charm which she received from her father and a brown leather watch.
➤ FAMILY:
The Bentz family is a complicated bunch and everyone knows it. Nicole’s grandmother was from Prosper and when Sebastian proposed, the two of them moved into town to settle down. Their first daughter, Carina, followed two years later and when their little girl was 7, Nina was born. They were a picture perfect family, always proper. With a lawyer as a father and a teacher as a mother, they were truly blessed with the approval of everyone around. But it wasn’t always easy. Nicole had high expectations and Sebastian was a quiet man who rather agreed with his wife than start conflict. So when Carina began to rebel against her mother’s constant nagging, the peace was broken. Not a day passed without bickering. Although Nina fit perfect into her mother’s plan, always on top of her class, surrounded by “the best kids in town”, not a hair out of place - eventually, not even she was spared. When in 1993 Carina disappeared without a trace, the Bentz family was put through the wringer and came out of it with a divorce, a trailer park home in Hazzard for Sebastian and severely damaged relationships to each other and the town. Carina was one of the people Nina looked up to all her life and she never got over her just being - gone. In 1996 they buried an empty casket, putting even more distance between all of them. To this day, Nina is livid that the local police found nothing that would help find her sister.
➤ FRIENDS:
Nina once had a lavish friend group. One of the most popular kids in high school, she wasn’t always an angel, even showing a mean streak in her behavior. Her friends often fit within that circle, most of them from Prosper with a vendetta against Hazzard. However, when Carina went missing Nina had a wake up call, working on herself and in the process she lost her social circle. Most of her so called friends didn’t know what to do with her grief and the rest she pushed away. These days she’s more secluded and keeps to herself, no longer interested in town gossip. There’s a select few she keeps close and those are absolutely dear to her.
➤ LIVING SITUATION:
Her childhood home in Prosper is rather generous. Both girls had their own rooms, her father had his own office and there was even a garden large enough to entertain a sizeable number of guests. She still resides their with her mother but these days avoids it as much as possible. When her parents divorced in 1995, her father purchased a trailer home in Hazzard. He took on a new job representing a company which meant he’d be on the road a lot and although he never said it, Nina guessed he wanted to be somewhere his wife would never go to. He gave Nina spare keys and whenever he’s gone, she lives there. It’s a pretty convenient situation for her. Those nights when she can’t be at the trailer and her mother isn’t a sight she can stand, she likes to park her 1991 toyota at the cracker barrel parking lot and just sleeps there.
➤ WORK:
Nina took on the job of a waitress at the Cracker Barrel as soon as she was out of high school. Her biggest dream was to study literature and maybe take some time for her own passion - which was writing fiction. However, her plans lost their sparkle when she lost her sister and even though she keeps telling herself one day she’ll move on, she puts no effort into finding something else. She does a good job and is always on time. As a coworker, she’s reliable and will cover for shifts. She doesn’t gossip but likes to laugh along when lighthearted fun is made. Every penny that’s left at the end of her month lands in her piggy bank.
➤ SCHOOL:
Nina loved her high school time. Not only was she a really good student but her social life made her soar. Active as a cheerleader, she was a member of the student council and always had her mother in her corner who was an english teacher. With a large group of friends and an establish popularity, she felt a bit untouchable. It was shortly before her graduation that Carina went missing and her fall from grace rolled into action. Everyone knew about it and the halls she once walked with her head held high felt like a prison of whispers.
➤ ASPIRATIONS:
Even though she doesn’t believe it’ll happen any time soon, Nina truly believes she’ll leave Lockhorn County at some point. She wants to wrap herself in new opportunities and become a woman who isn’t weighed down by everything she has lived through in this town. But she cannot do that without finding out what happened to her sister. Surely someone must know what was going on in her head. Someone had to see her, talked to her. Or someone was responsible. Until then, she cannot leave.
➤ RIVALRY:
Growing up, Nina was always told to stick to people from Prosper. It was just the way things were at the Bentz household. As a kid, she never questioned it. It was only later that Nina understood her mothers thoughts and began to strongly disagree. However, when her sister Carina disappeared, things changed. With her parents divorce and her father moving to Hazzard, the lines blured entirely and Nina got stuck in the middle, hovering in a state of misplacement. Looking at it now, all she sees is people trying to get by and she’s one of them.

PEIRCINGS: his lobes are pierced and he has stretched them to a 00 gauge and has his left cartilage pierced
TATTOOS: he has 6 tattoos, 2 he gave himself (i just go off elliot’s own tattoos and this one he gave himself)
DISTINGUSHED MARKS: alec is three years post op for his top surgery, while his scars are faded quite a bit, they are still visible. he doesn’t take his shirt off often but if someone does question his scars, he tells them he had lung issues growing up and needed surgery, most people don’t ask many follow up questions
STYLE:
alec is as grunge as they come. when he started transitioning, he dove head first into the the style. jeans, band t-shirts, flannels, holes in everything, a chain attached to his wallet, very classic 90′s grunge
he has one very beat up pair of converse high tops and a pair of doc martens boots
FAMILY:
alec’s parents weren’t married when he was born, in fact, they were barely in a relationship
his mom raised him by herself until she passed away when he was 7 after which, after his dad had custody of him
his dad wasn’t a bad guy growing up, he was busy with work but he wasn’t awful. he and alec weren’t very close, but they didn’t have any fights or issues
that is until alec learned what being trans is and came out at 18. his father didn’t take it well, he thought alec was defying god and disowned him
when alec’s mom passed away, she had left alec everything including her life insurance policy, all of which was put into a savings account until alec turned 18. so after his dad disowned him, alec used the money to take care of himself, start his transition, and eventually buy a house in hazzard
alec doesn’t talk about any of this, always giving vague answers if someone asks about his family or his life before hazzard
FRIENDS
alec is one of the burnouts around town at face value, he smokes and drinks a lot and likes to party, he skates and loves rock music and horror movies. but alec is also one of the friendliest people around
he can be friends with anyone and everyone, despite his rough look, he is a golden retriever at heart. very outgoing and easy to talk to
LIVING SITUATION
alec moved to hazzard about three years ago after passing through west virgina and saw an ad for a house for sale in the little town. every since his dad kicked him out, he was a drifter, always going where his friends went, moving around from state to state but never really set down roots. he bought the house with the remaining money from his mom and has been living in hazzard ever since
he lives in a 3 bedroom, 1 bath home that is definitely not as nice as the prosper homes, but he calls it home
he has two open rooms and always helps out friends when they need a place to stay the night, but he’s also looking for perinate housemates if anyone is interested 😉
WORK
alec works at the sterling drive-in movie theater and loves it, he’s such a movie buff and gets paid to watch movies all night. of course, the money and hours aren’t the best but he likes it
he’s a lazy employee if he was being honest, can be found smoking or drinking on the job with his coworkers. but hey, its a drive-in, who really cares as long as the movies play, right?
SCHOOL
since alec is newish to town, no one knows what he was like in school. since it was before he transitioned, alec doesn’t really talk about his childhood or teen years
he was a good student, not the best but he tried hard and was able to get average Bs and that was enough for him
he used to play softball but will never tell anyone since that would out him
ASPIRATIONS
alec’s biggest dream is to just be happy. he wants to be surrounded by people who care about him and to feel loved. he doesn’t care about money or flashy things, he just wants to be happy with his life
but under all that cheesy stuff, alec also dreams of being a tattoo artist. he has his own tattoo gun that he uses to tattoo himself and friends (hit him up if you want something for cheap 😉) but he would love to become a real tattoo artist and work in a real shop one day
RIVALRY
being new to town, alec doesn’t know much about the rivalry like those who were born here. he just knows it exists and typically will side with the hazzard people since that is what town he lives in and tends to hang around

[ GRAYSON PARK, HE/HIM, CIS MAN, STEVEN YEUN] is a THIRTY-THREE year old CRIME LAB TECHNICAN from HAZZARD, WV. They are CLEVER and ENERGETIC but also ANNOYING and JITTERY.
BASICS
FULL NAME: Grayson Kwang-Soo Park
NICKNAME(S): Gray
BIRTHDAY: September 22th
AGE: 33
SEXUALITY: Asexual
HOMETOWN: Hazzard, WV
BIRTHPLACE: Portland, OR
RELIGION: Atheist (formerly Christian)
FAMILY
MOTHER: Hwa-Young Park
FATHER: Eung-Soo Park
AUNT(S): Joo-Eun Park (Dad's side), Hyo-Sonn Park (Dad's side)
UNCLE(S): Hyun-Shik Lee (Mom's side), Young-Jae Park (Dad's side)
SIBLING(S): N/A
COUSIN(S): Too many to count
PET(S): Un gato named Ducky
APPEARANCE: Scruffy, and somewhat muscular. Gray doesn't keep his hair well kept, usually waking up and whatever his hair is, that's how it's going to be for the entire day. When he's wearing his glasses, Gray always seems to squint despite having them like an old grandpa, but he wears them from time to time or when he needs to read some text.
STYLE: There's not much to say about his fashion sense, since it usually just boils down to a nice button up shirt and some pants, maybe a jacket if Gray's feeling bold. He has his Korean name tattooed on his forearm, and some small hibiscus flowers on the lower back. In a more casual explanation, he dresses like a funky uncle or cool dad would, if that makes sense.
FAMILY: Gray's family immigrated to America during the crisis in South Korea, where his family resided in the Pacific Northwest, staying in Oregon while bringing the rest of their family to America as well. His mom and dad don't speak English very well, and Gray used to be his family's translator when going out in public. The rest of his extended family spread out in the PNW, whereas his family moved to West Virginia for more job opportunities when he was eight. Gray still gets postcards and letters from his extended family, and he's hoping someday he might be able to get to do a family reunion.
FRIENDS: Being Korean in the west side of America, especially during the 1970's-1980's growing up, Gray didn't have much friends due to language barriers and looking different from the others. Of course, coming to school with "weird" food also didn't help him much, but Gray learned to grow past others' inability to look past differences and grew to be happy being alone. Of course, he doesn't mind the casual conversation these days and loves to chat with whoever wants to.
LIVING SITUATION: Hazzard, home sweet home. Of course, his trailer home isn't much, but he does like living in his cozy home. Gray splurged on a nice armchair that he likes watching TV in, and he has a good collection of books on his bookshelf. Of course, there's some times he wishes maybe he could live in Prosper or somewhere nice, especially in the winter time when it gets crazy cold, but he gets by and that's enough. His parents live in the next town nearby, which is about thirty to forty minutes away. He doesn't mind the solitude, especially since he has little Ducky with him.
WORK: Grayson works as a crime lab technician -- he's the go to in the county for forensic analysis on crime scenes and what not, but his lab is in another town, the same town where his parents live, since the County Department doesn't have the funding for a lab or anything like that. It's a little tough driving back and forth, but hey, he has a steady job, and it pays the bill. Usually he'll give his two-cents on crime scenes or suspects based on the evidence, but he's not an official officer or anything, he's just the technician. His typical day is just inventorying evidence and examining it.
SCHOOL: Honestly, Gray did pretty well despite his first language being Korean. He adapted quickly and didn't get any bad grades, and was basically somewhat above average in school. With not a lot of friends or interests in clubs, that meant that his focus went into his academics. He liked science and all the funky terms that went along with it, and with his love for cheesy crime shows at the time, Gray went into the criminology path, taking classes in community college and working his way up. Of course, it took him a while before he gained his Master's degree, which then he started working as a crime lab technician.
ASPIRATIONS: Well, the American Dream for him and his family was achieved in their eyes, Gray didn't really have that itch to become more, and he liked living a quaint life without many riches. Of course, when PANIC didn't come back his graduating year, Gray felt a little cheated out of a future, but he still got through college and here he is, living his life in Hazzard. There is a little part of him though, that feels bad, that he can't provide more for his parents, or reconnect his family.
RIVALRY: Hazzard people are good people, and Gray will always argue that. Of course, he doesn't care where you came from, as long as you're a good person, you know? His work makes him come everywhere in the county, so he's seen both sides and there's not much to say. Rivalry? More like, uh, stinky!A

[ SEBASTIAN ‘BASH’ EVERGREEN, HE/HIM, CIS MAN, FIONN O’SHEA ] is a TWENTY SIX year old TAPE REWINDER AT COAL CAMP from PROSPER, WV. They are GENEROUS and UNDERSTANDING but also RESERVED and NAIVE.
BASICS
FULL NAME: sebastian thomas evergreen
NICKNAME(S): bash, bee
BIRTHDAY: january 5th, 1971
AGE: 26 years old
HOMETOWN: prosper, wv
GENDER IDENITY: cisgender man, he/him
SEXUALITY: homosexual
FAMILY
MOTHER: delilah evergreen ( nee. weill )
FATHER: thomas evergreen
SIBLINGS: three younger sisters. esther & eden ( twins, 22), and gloria ( 18 )
PET(S): bash is the proud owner of a pet western painted turtle named francesca, also known as franny.
APPEARANCE:
HEIGHT: 5′7″
EYE COLOR: blue
HAIR COLOR: light brown
HAIR STYLE: bash keeps his hair short & neat, although he has been known to keep the front section of his hair out of his face while working by clipping it back with his sister’s butterfly clips.
MAKEUP: when making the trek out to any local gay bars, bash will let himself put on some colorful eye makeup, using a blue eyeliner pencil he found in the bathroom of a bar one time. one man’s trash!
STYLE:
bash enjoys a style that is greatly inspired by the fashions worn by the characters on blossom - bash’s favorite sitcom. lots of large hats adorned with flowers, patterned button up shirts paired with blazers, cardigans or windbreakers and sensible bottoms & shoes. depending on the occasion, this can also be layered with flannels & denim. the heavy layers also help with covering the light bruising always present on bash’s stomach and arms from his insulin injections as a type 1 diabetic.
examples x x x x
FAMILY:
bash is the oldest in his family, and the only son. although his more...conservative family members will happily crack some jokes about how the evergreen’s actually have four daughters.
bash’s family is pretty tight knit. they have game night the first sunday of each month and bash always puts some vhs tapes aside for any upcoming movie nights with his sisters.
bash’s mother & father both work at the DMV and actually met on their first day on the job when they got themselves locked in a storage closet together while looking for staples. and then nine months later, bash was born!
WORK:
having decided that collage wasn’t in the cards for him, bash has worked in almost every job available to him in prosper. unfortunately, his reserved nature made him not exactly ideal for customer service and he has terrible co-ordination so be couldn’t wait tables, so bash was more than happy to sit in the back of coal camp all day, rewinding the tapes for people who chose to ignore the ‘be wind, remind’ messages.
it barely pays enough for bash, who is also a type 1 diabetic, to afford his medical equipment but he’s got his own ways of covering the extra costs.
RIVALRY:
bash just wants everyone to get along. if anyone asks him, he’ll diplomatically say that he believes that everyone is equal - regardless of where they reside. but he still has no intentions of ever leaving prosper, and has a connection to it that he could never get from hazzard. as far as bash is concerned, the people are all equal, but the locations themselves have two very differing vibes.

[ RANDALL BRIAR JR., HE/HIM, CIS MAN, GEORGE MACKAY ] is a TWENTY-EIGHT year old MORTICIAN from PROSPER, WV. They are INTELLIGENT and THROUGH but also COLD and STUBBORN.
basics.
full name: Randall Briar Junior
nickname(s): Junior, though he is trying his very best to retire that nickname. Randy is preferred.
birthday: 28th December 1969
age: 28
hometown: Prosper, WV
birthplace: Prosper, WV
religion: Baptist
family.
mother: Frances Briar
father: Randall Briar Senior
aunt(s): open
uncle(s): open
sibling(s): Darby Briar
cousin(s): open
pet(s): none
wife and child: Mary Elizabeth Briar and Matthew Francis Briar (NPCs)
appearance & style.
Randall is six foot tall but can often seem taller than that due to his lean build. An almost Lurch-like sort of figure, is how I would describe it. Long hours in rooms with very limited sunlight has left his skin dull, and pale but he tries to remedy that by reading books on his front porch or picking a particularly sunny spot in the library. Due to his line of work he likes to keep himself looking relatively presentable any time he leaves home. His wardrobe a carefully curated collection of respectable greys, browns, and dull blues. Saving true black attire for where it is required of him such as at work or any other type of mourning. A dressed down version of Randall Briar Jr is blue jeans, grey shirt, and corduroy jacket, but hair always combed and fingernails always clean.
family.
Randy’s family means everything to him. It always has, but even more so now that he is a husband and father himself. As the oldest son he has always understood the Briar's position and reputation in the community. Frances and Randall Snr owning the local pharmacy, the whole family being dedicated members of the local church. And to the best of his ability, Randy has tried to uphold that. In his own unique way, of course.
Parents: Despite their shared name, or perhaps sometimes because of their shared name: Randalls Senior and Junior have not always seen eye to eye. For the first twenty years of his life he was a weird, gangly, awkward, loser with the confidence of a baby deer on a highway. Not exactly ideal oldest son material. But, Randy always had his mother in his corner. Always defending his gifts for science and memorisation where he lacked in athleticism and charisma. He and his mother were and remain to be extremely close, he is a complete and utter mama’s boy ..... hence his son’s middle name. If anyone would like the make an Alfred Hitchcock’s Psycho joke ....... he deserves it.
Darby: Darby is his little sister and he cares for her, of course. He would protect her against anything and help her with whatever she might ask him for. That does not mean he doesn’t sometimes find her completely infuriating. In the same way that Darby probably finds him infuriating. They are siblings after all and currently in closer quarters than they would probably prefer with Darby currently living in the small granny flat behind his family home.
Mary & Matthew: Randy thought he had a fairly respectable knowledge and understanding of love before he met Mary but he was dead wrong. He didn’t understand it, nor all it’s multitudes. And he understood it even less when they had Matthew. The two are his entire world and he would do absolutely anything for them just to keep them happy, and there’s nothing he wouldn’t do to keep them safe. He and Mary met when he was studying in Richmond, VA and were married less than two years later. Another couple years and they had Matthew, the start of their little family. Because they are NPCs I will take this opportunity to talk a little about them: Mary is not from Lockhorn and has struggled to make many friends in the time she’s been here. She’s kind, and sweet, but she’s shy and worse than that, she’s an outsider. In an attempt to battle that she’s taken on a small position at the Briar Pharmacy on days where Randy is home to care for Matthew. Matthew is a two year old ray of sunshine. He loves to laugh, he loves to point at strangers and smile, and he loves trucks.
friends.
This may be shocking, prepare yourself, but the local mortician doesn’t have a whole lot of friends. And that has always been the case. Randy Jr has been a little odd and a little off putting long before he got his job at the funeral home, shit even before he got his high school summer job of helping the graveyard keeper. He has a great fascination with history, particularly ancient history and used to collect bird bones (still has this collection but knows better than to continue it now <3). To put it simply, he’s a little freak (affectionate) and everyone has always known that.
Leaving this mostly empty bc would obv like to plot stuff but two things i should probably mention here: spends a lot of time at the library, growing up and now. and best buddies with Taru since childhood, so if you have been around Taru, you’ve probably at least seen Randy around
living situation.
Randy lives a relatively comfortable life, especially by Lockhorn County standards. He lives in a modest three bedroom home with his wife and son in Prosper, a block away from his family home. His sister Darby also lives on the property but in a small self contained unit behind the main structure. Having a family and a nice family home have always been goals of his, starting his savings the moment he got his first job and being able to achieve this at a relatively young age after he and Mary were engaged to be wed. The home is warm, inviting, and always well kept thanks to Mary. The two of them have a love for books and reading and learning so their home does have more than one bookcase, Randy’s parents often joking that soon enough the two of them could rival Lockhorn’s own library.
work.
Randy is a mortician and works with the local funeral home. It’s not really a job that you can go around saying that you love, but Randy does truly appreciate his work. Without making this section obscenely long for no reason, he believes a person’s death is just as meaningful as their birth. More so, in some cases. That people need and deserve to be treated with respect even after death. Along with hopefully making things easier for his community by not having to go to a stranger for help in a time of grieving, they just have to go to him.
Of course, it is a weird thing. Because of his line of work he is a sort of grim reaper figure. It’s hard not to associate him with death, loss, grieving. He doesn’t expect anyone to understand why he does it, why he chose this career– but it doesn’t bother him. He has always been misunderstood and it is not something that has to be understood for him to be good at and proud of his work.
school.
Apart from sometimes getting into trouble with Taru, and sometimes getting caught in between bullies (less common after befriending Taru), Randy Jr was very, very good in school. He loves learning just to learn. As mentioned history is fascinating to him, and it certainly comes before the rest but he also loved science, math, literature, just about anything Hunting Hills High could offer him. He was a grade A nerd.
He graduated valedictorian of his class, not that it means a whole lot, and after a brief gap in studies (a year) to save some more money he went to study in Richmond, Virginia. He studied his associate degree in Mortuary Science, and while he was at college, he met his future wife. She worked in a local bookstore and of course that just had Randy head over heels immediately.
Long graduated, Randy still finds himself wanting to learn more. His house is full of books but he can still often be found at the library, either by himself or with his son.
aspirations.
To have a happy, loving family. A family he can provide for and that wants for nothing. Of course that’s his aspiration. It’s all he wants really. And it’s challenging, and frustrating at times to be aiming for a dream or a fantasy. But that doesn’t stop him much.
rivalry.
Surface level, he doesn’t care for it. He works for the Lockhorn community as a whole, not just either Prosper or Hazzard he believes he does not value one over the other. However, it’s not like you would find him and his wife and child spending a day in Hazzard.
miscellaneous.
i did not do a whole chart for randy but he is a capricorn sun ........ do with that what u will. also his pinterest board ok bye <3

[ DARBY BRIAR, SHE/HER, CIS WOMAN, KATHRYN NEWTON] is a 25 year old NURSE from PROSPER, WV. They are WELL SPOKEN and CHARITABLE but also FACETIOUS and JUDGEMENTAL]
BASICS
FULL NAME: Darby Briar
NICKNAME(S): No thanks, she doesn’t care for them
BIRTHDAY: July 11
AGE: 25
HOMETOWN: Prosper, WV
BIRTHPLACE: Prosper, WV
RELIGION: Baptist
FAMILY
MOTHER: Frances Briar
FATHER: Randall Briar Snr.
AUNT(S): OPEN
UNCLE(S): OPEN
SIBLING(S): Randall Briar Jnr.
COUSIN(S):OPEN
PET(S): A parakeet named Dolly.
APPEARANCE
Darby is around 5′5″ and takes care of her appearance. She doesn’t like others to see her unkempt or out of sorts unless it’s in the line of duty. Typically she wears fairly conservative clothing, only showing skin if it’s hot out or when she’s going swimming. During middle and junior high school she kept her hair pulled back into a tight low braid and now that she’s (thankfully) grown out of that phase, she wears her hair down off duty and pulled back in a ponytail or bun when she’s working.
STYLE:
Darby prefers to wear skirts and dresses instead of pants but doesn’t mind denim shorts when the weather is hot. She tries to keep up with fashion trends as best she can for somebody who lives in the middle of nowhere.
FAMILY:
Darby is very close to her parents and though she loves her brother, due to their living situation, she is a lot closer to him than she ever intended to be. On the whole, the Briar family is somewhat of a staple in the Prosper community; they own the local pharmacy, are avid church goers and never skip an opportunity to stop and ask how you’re doing. That said, their outward presentation isn’t quite as shiny and charming as they would like it to be, mostly due to their kids. There’s nothing wrong with the Briar boy but Randy Briar Jr is the local mortician which is a little off-putting to say the least and as for Darby, well, Darby is Darby which is inherently off-putting. Still, as a whole, the Briar family isn’t that bad in small doses.
FRIENDS:
She has a couple of friends here and there but she does tend to struggle with deep connections and intimate relationships. She is somewhat guarded though she doesn’t realise it, making it especially difficult for her to work on opening up to people better. The friends that she does have are mostly girls from high school or girls that she goes to church with, the males in her life are primarily people that she knows through work or complete nuisances. Darby would never admit to being lonely but there is a reasonable portion of her that does wish she had a special someone in her life and she occasionally finds herself a little envious of her older brother’s family.
LIVING SITUATION:
Darby is currently living in a self-contained unit behind her brother’s family home. She’s not particularly proud of the situation but is happy to explain that her expensive education out of Lockhorn has made it difficult for her to become an independent homeowner and what does she need the room for anyway? It’s just her and Dolly.
SCHOOL:
Darby is fairly intelligent and above all diligent. What she lacks in academic prowess in any area she makes up for with an absolute refusal to accept failure. As a result, she graduated as valedictorian of her senior class and doesn’t have any qualms about reminding people of that fact.
She spent some time in Atlanta studying to become a qualified nurse but very rarely talks about this time in her life unless she’s boasting about what a worldly person she is for getting out of Lockhorn for a couple of years.
ASPIRATIONS:
Ideally, Darby would love to attend college and study medicine. If she could one day replace the good doctor, delivering the Lockhorn babies, taking care of the hard working folk and the miners and everybody in between, she would want for nothing more. That, however, would require her to leave town, to attend a University and be away from Prosper for a good few years and she’s intimidating. The last time she left town to try and make something of herself she landed herself in trouble and still hasn’t fully recovered from it. So, instead, she’ll work diligently alongside the local doctor, learn from them what she can and hope for the best. It’s all a part of God’s plan anyway, right?
RIVALRY:
If you ask her, she’ll assure you that she tries to see the best in people no matter who they are or where they’re from. Realistically, she is very haughty about being from Prosper and rarely spares the opportunity to squeeze anti-Hazzard subtext into conversation, just because she can. Still, as a nurse, she genuinely does provide whole-hearted and compassionate care to the people of Lockhorn county as equals and in the face of an emergency, she doesn’t have a judgemental bone in her body.

BASICS
FULL NAME: Rhett Thomas Miller
NICKNAME(S): none
BIRTHDAY: July 18th, 1961
AGE: 35
HOMETOWN: Prosper, WV
BIRTHPLACE: Prosper, WV
RELIGION: Questioning Protestant
FAMILY
MOTHER: Helga Miller (Anderson)
FATHER: Thomas Miller
AUNT(S): Margaret, Ruth
UNCLE(S): Ned, George, Mark
SIBLING(S): Nancy (38), Andrea (32), Francis (29)
SPOUSE: Leslie Berg (m.1985 -1995)
CHILDREN: Daisy (8), Colt (5)
PET(S): Peaches a white and orange cat and Goldfish (Gold for short) a ginger cat.
APPEARANCE:
Brown hair, hazel eyes, 6’1”, average build. Rhett looks like your average thirties aged dad. He keeps his hair about two to four inches on top and shorter at the sides. Always styled, unless he’s having a bad day or is wearing a baseball cap while he coaches. His most distinguishing feature is his big, charming smile that he always tries to wear on his face and his arched brows.
STYLE:
80s/90s Dad see: https://www.pinterest.com/kitmeowza/ch-rhett-miller/style/
Always has on bracelets made by his daughter and the kids he coaches or counsels. Also his watch. When he’s coaching he always has a stopwatch and a whistle around his neck and aviator sunglasses to shield the sun. He also keeps a swiss army knife in his pocket at all times, just in case.
FAMILY:
Rhett loves his family. Until his parents retired to Florida, he would often visit with them and stop by their house to help out with various odds and ends. Now he visits them at least once a year, and they come back to Prosper for holidays with his grandma and him and the kids if he has them that holiday. They call each other once or twice a week and catch up. His grandmother Mabel still lives in Prosper, his father’s mother. She attends church every Sunday, and he escorts her ever since his grandfather Wyatt passed a year ago. Once a week she cooks for him and they share a meal, where he usually listens to her gossip (and often judge) everyone in town. Rhett chimes in to try and sway her otherwise, but she is who she is and he loves her all the same. Besides, she instilled the fear of God in him many years ago and he’s terrified to stand up to her.
He has three siblings, all of which he talks to often. Nancy lives one county over and Andrea moved to Boston for college. They’re both married with kids and he loves being the fun uncle whenever he visits or they come to town. Francis still lives in town and they meet up whenever she decides she wants to talk to her goofy older brother. He’s very protective over all of them.
Rhett was married to his now ex-wife Leslie for ten years. They were high school sweethearts and separated for a short time when they went to college. He loved her with every ounce of his being, but she wasn’t in the same mind set. After two kids, and nine years, Leslie started having an affair with a man two hours away from Prosper. In 1995, they divorced and she moved there to be with him. It enraged Rhett to think about it but there wasn’t much he could do about it at the end of the day. He could have fought her for full custody, but regardless of what she did to him she was an excellent mother. They split custody as evenly as possible. Daisy and Colt would come stay with him on school breaks, rotating holidays, and all summer. It was tough, but they made it work. He misses her sometimes.
Being a dad is one of his favorite titles. He loves Daisy and Colt more than anything else in the world. Watching them grow and ask questions and learn about life. Every single second he gets with them is precious and he’d do anything to make them smile. Rhett always hopes he’s doing right by them. He worries sometimes, especially being separated from their mother. But, he will keep trying to do his best and raise them to the best of his ability.
FRIENDS:
Rhett has a few friends and a lot of acquaintances. Most people in town know who he is, whether from coaching or fundraising for various activities and charities, or counseling, etc. He tries to remember everyone’s first name and say hello to them whenever they cross paths. There’s a few guys he bowls with once a week and sometimes has a few beers and plays darts. Most of them he’s known his whole life, some just moved to town. Some of them hang out just because there’s no one else to hang out with but he does have a few close friends and he cherishes them.
LIVING SITUATION:
After he got divorced, they were forced to sell their house and split the money since neither of them had enough to buy the other out. Rhett moved in with his parents for a year until they decided to move to Florida and signed their Prosper family home over to him. It is a nice home, but quiet when his children aren’t around. Him and his two cats fill the space when they are away. It’s nice to be in a home filled with love and good memories from his childhood. Someday he hopes he will get to share it with someone else and make it less lonely.
WORK:
Being a counselor was something he never thought he’d like, but ended up loving. Though coaching is his first love. He went to college and got a degree in social work and education. Rhett always knew he’d come home to Prosper, however. He couldn’t imagine living anywhere else. Since there were no openings at the school at the time, he took on a position as a counselor at the community center and coached youth athletics at the school and with the parks and recreation department. Most of his earnings go towards bills and raising his children. He occasionally gambles from time to time, usually on sports games. He feels like he’s good at what he does and will continue as long as he’s still helping people.
SCHOOL:
He was always the class clown. School was fun and while he wasn’t a straight A student, he did well enough and loved the atmosphere. He played baseball and basketball. Rhett was a part of the popular crowd but he liked to talk to everyone. He definitely participated in a lot of pranks, especially ones that were rivalry related. They were teased a little bit in elementary school, but that faded as he got older and he didn’t like to tease other people. There were likely times when he did, but he felt bad for it later and would apologize if he could. Most times he tried to lift people up and spread confidence and positivity.
ASPIRATIONS:
All Rhett wants to do in life is be a good dad, son, friend, help people, and hopefully find love again. If the school counselor position opens up at either of the schools he would love to fill that role or maybe be able to build a new community center and expand the towns he loves so much. He believes he’ll be able to do it eventually, the only big thing in his way is money and maybe some support. Rhett really hopes he can get people to love Lockhorn county as much as he does and put the work into it to make it desirable for more people to come in.
RIVALRY:
Prosper has always been home to Rhett and his family. His meemaw would tell stories about the Miller pioneers and how they helped discover all sorts of land in West Virginia. Though he is certain only half of it is true. Rhett loves Prosper and Hazzard, too, but Prosper will always have a special place in his heart. As long as the rivalry is all in good fun, he’s all for it. When one side acts better than the other because of where they’re from, that’s when he has an issue with it. Good people come from everywhere, and so do bad ones. If they want to play pranks on each other, he’s all for it as long as no one gets hurt.
