Jules Basso | Bellport
Alignment? Chaotic gay.
friendly ✧ hyper ✧ nerdy
Jules Basso is a web developer with sea-green hair, boundless energy, and ADHD that keeps him talking a mile a minute with his hands flying everywhere. He moved to Bellport after college to escape his strict Texas upbringing and found his people—including his best friends Phoenix and Zee, who balance out his exuberant chaos. Jules is the kind of friend who orders two boba flavors and alternates sips, info-dumps about whatever nerdy obsession has captured his attention this week, and will build you a website in exchange for free coffee or just because he likes you. He's smart, forgiving to a fault, and recently discovered his sexuality might be more fluid than he thought, which surprises him but he's rolling with it. You'll find him at the local coffee shop with his laptop, at D&D nights making terrible puns, or dancing enthusiastically despite having no rhythm—Jules brings the energy, the loyalty, and the chaotic good vibes wherever he goes.
❝ Local legend says you can still hear whales singing on particularly foggy nights, but I'm pretty sure that's just the buoys and some very drunk fishermen.
✧ Bellport, ME ✧
Bellport is a small fishing town on the midcoast of Maine that's become a quiet haven for the queer community over the past few decades. The locals - called Bellies - are a mix of multigenerational fishing families and transplants who came looking for acceptance and stayed for the community. Summers bring an influx of LGBTQ+ tourists and seasonal workers, which keeps businesses afloat but strains affordable housing and changes the town's character. Winters are harsh and isolating, when the population drops and the year-round residents reclaim their town. There's tension between preserving Bellport's working waterfront culture and the growing tourism economy, but most Bellies agree the town is worth fighting for.
