[58 | Tom Lacey | Male]

Description:
An older black man, often dresses like the most stereotypical image of a college professor, but he's a therapist for rich people. He's a bit pudgy in the middle (very much a 'dad bod' as his son would say), though his arms and legs still posses muscle from his time in the armed forces, he's bespectacled, he's balding, and despite this, he could pass as younger than middle aged, were it not for the tired gleam one can see from his eyes. He's a therapist to his core-- calm, cool, and collected. He tries to speak very little, and he doesn't judge-- easy to determine he's educated, but has had more than enough experience to keep this from allowing him to fall into pretention. His smile is able to put most people at ease. A bit like Bob Ross.

[16 | Riley Harriet Lacey (Hattie) | Male]

Description:
In many ways Riley is a mirror of his father. Everything he inherited from the man, he then flips on his head. His father's reserved sense of fashion? Riley inherited this, except instead of looking like a college professor, he fits perfectly into what one might think of when thinking of a punk. Appearance-wise he favors his mother, in fact, with his long hair and soft features, many have mistaken the lanky teen for a girl. His complexion is much lighter than his father's chocolate skin-- leading many post-fall to assume Maya was his mother (to both of their chagrin). While his father's muscle is more visible in his arms and legs, Riley's wiry muscle was most visible in the form of his chest and abs (before the mist, at least).

He inherited his father's calmness as well. Though, instead of using this ability to remain calm to foster a safe space for open dialogue like his father, he uses it as a means to further his youthful rebellion. Still fledgling in theory, Riley feels things very passionately and has deep beliefs-- but instead of exploding into action, Riley plans things coolly. Before the fall, he wanted to be some flavor of revolutionary when he grew up. While the mist has thrown a wrench into this plan somewhat, he hasn't completely given up on this. While being young, he picks up on things fairly quickly, and has a somewhat impressive generalist skill-set because of this. While not quite there yet, give him another 10 years, and Jack-of-All-Trades would be an apt descriptor.

And contrary to what most people might think, his nickname, Hattie, isn't the result of his shortening his middle name-- but instead comes from the fact that the youth is hardly seen without some form of headgear.
