[BlightLupus]

Hiya! I'm new to this, so point out any improvements I should make without mercy please~!

[+] Marie Tudor

"There is always someone better than me, is it? Well, that just means I'm not trying hard enough."

Appearance: Marie is a White girl with sharp, hazel eyes and short, reddish hair. She likes wearing golden earrings and typically sports a raven-shaped hairpin. Marie often wears expensive, classic and elegant dresses, preferring outfits that command the attention of others and give her a sense of authority.

(Picrew used)

Personality: Marie is bold, confident, and charismatic around others, often acting with the dignity and grace of a modern noble. Although she was born in a rich family, she isn't satisfied with living a comfortable life, and instead dedicates herself to achieving greater heights than she currently stands on. Marie is also prideful and honorable, and she will never go back on a deal or a promise. Her pride and greed are only matched by her diligence in achieving her goals.

Relationships (TBD):

• Loyal Subjects: That's what Marie calls them in her head, anyway. They're the ones Marie trusts the most and she considers the most useful.
• Friends: Even though they're just high-schoolers, Marie is constantly on the lookout for talent that can assist her in the future. Despite her slightly snobbish personality, she is very generous to people she considers allies.
  • Taylor Olson-Chen- "They seems to want to seduce me for my status. Heh, I like ambitious subjects, and a contact in the entertainment industry would be useful, so I'll play along."
  • Claude O'Neil Porter- "He's a bit too soft-hearted for the type of work I would typically give to someone of his skillset, but he'd make an excellent potential bodyguard in the future."
  • Mercedes “Mercy” Myers-Colman- "Having a contact in the Colman (name subject to change) family would be quite beneficial. Besides, I admire her ambition and independence. She somewhat reminds me of myself."
  • Lawrence Willoughby- "A proactive go-getter with a lot of energy in his tank. Not bad."
  • Raya Loux- "I like her confidence, and in a world of machines, having a voice that is familiar with the mechanical side of things is certainly quite useful."
• Acquaintances: Either people Marie aren't interested in, or ones she is in the process of trying to get on her side.
  • Lily Kemp- "Exceptional fighting skills and very straightforward. I like that. Someone who makes friends with such a...unique method isn't likely to betray me for petty reasons either. I would very much like her on my side."
• Enemies: She is no stranger to making enemies, though if someone is good enough for Marie to recognize them as a foe, she would much rather try to get them on her side instead.
  • Heather Klein- "I'd love to have her as an advisor. A strong will and firm beliefs are great traits to have, and her viewpoint differs from mine so greatly that having her perspective on things would be wonderful! It's a shame that we can't be friends."
  • Mihai Dabija- "Geez, he seems to think that I want to control him, but that's ridiculous. I use people, not control them. Controlling people is impossible with our current technology...and it'd be unethical, I guess."

[+] Jason Chase

"It's showtime!"

Appearance: Jason is a White boy that is short and slim, with black hair and pale blue eyes. He wears a variety of outfits, ranging from punk rock styles to Bohemian Chic, that seem to change every day, some of which he made himself. Jason also enjoys experimenting with various makeup styles, and he has a seemingly endless variety of earrings he wears.

[+] Picrew approximation

(Picrew used)

Personality: Jason is a showman through and through, and he loves pulling off flashy stunts in the name of entertaining his audience, even when there's no one actually watching him. He's a cheerful jokester who loves putting on a show, though his careless words often land him into trouble. Not that he minds much: Jason is absolutely willing to risk his life for a bit or to put on a good show.

Relationships (TBD):
Jason is a part of the theatre club as a costume maker and makeup manager. He's also a fairly good actor, though he doesn't like doing it much since it's "uninteresting" to him.

• Friends: Anyone who can keep up and/or put up with his bullshit deserves a prize, to be honest.
  • Taylor Olson-Chen- "They know what it takes to make true entertainment and they have the skills to pull it off to! Haha! I don't think I'll ever get sick of them!"
  • Claude O'Neil Porter- "He's LAME. I mean, come on, 'don't jump off the roof, Jason.', 'breaking a few dumb bones isn't worth it for peak entertainment, Jason.', what is he? My grandpa? ...Heh, I do appreciate the times he saved my butt though, including that one time he rushed me to ER after I jumped off a roof."
  • Mercedes “Mercy” Myers-Colman- "Theatre friend! She's really good with makeup and costumes, and I learn a lot from her in that department!"
  • Wallace "Wally" Whitaker- "Theatre friend! I helped him out with some cosplays before and he seems like a pretty friendly guy!"
  • Simon Smith- "I help him out from time to time with makeup for his horror projects! Of course I'd be happy to assist a fellow horror fan~!"
  • Adrienne Tsai- "Not the type I'd typically hang out with, but I see a lot of potential in her! She's definitely hiding someone entertaining in that facade of hers!"
  • Raya Loux- "Love her handiwork! Some gadgets are a bit too complicated for me to DIY on my own, but she can follow my ideas a-okay! Wonder what I should ask her to make next..."
  • Céline Sharpe- "She's so weird! I love her! I wish I can pull off that style so well, though it's hard to get so many charms that suit me. I talk to her all the time, we're totally besties!"
• Acquaintances: Tends to make an effort to get to know as many people as he can, just to see if he can find anyone who's entertaining.
  • Lily Kemp- "Her fights are truly something to behold! Some of the best entertainment in school~!"
• Enemies: Jason isn't the type to hold a grudge, but the people he accidentally piss off might be.

[+] Lucy Wu

"Just keep pushing forward, Lucy...It's fine. You can do this."

Appearance: Lucy is a Chinese girl with a slim build. She has dull grey eyes and long black hair that she typically ties in a ponytail. Lucy dresses very simply, preferring a t-shirt with shorts on most days, and her only notable accessory is an earring with a wolf design.

[+] Picrew approximation

(Picrew used)

Personality: Lucy is very shy and withdrawn, and she doesn't talk with others much either. She is prone to avoid confrontation and will usually do whatever other people tell her to without complaint just to avoid getting into a fight. Lucy is also a bit of a perfectionist, and despite seeming like a doormat, she is incredibly determined and will bang her head against a wall until it breaks if she feels like she has to. Because of that determination and her aversion to conflict, she is prone to keep her burdens in her heart and hardly ever confides in others.

Relationships (TBD):
Lucy is a part of the fencing club and performs very well in all three disciplines, though she prefers using the sabre.

• Friends: She finds it hard to open up to others, though when she finds someone she trusts, she'll trust them for life.
  • Taylor Olson-Chen- "...They seem nice. I-I don't know why they want to waste time talking to me, though..."
  • Claude O'Neil Porter- "I'm a little scared around him, but I think he seems like a good person..."
• Acquaintances: Doesn't pay attention to others most of the time, and prays that others do the same with her.
  • Lily Kemp- "She's a little scary..."
  • Adrienne Tsai- "I grouped up with her a few times for projects since neither of us wants to talk a lot...I don't know a lot about her, but she seems nice."
• Enemies: She isn't the type to make enemies. You have to be really bad for her to hate you.

[+] Olivier Hawk

"Aim before you release. Think before you act."

Appearance: Olivier is half-White, half-Native American. He has short, brown hair and dark green eyes, with a mole under his right eye and a small scar on his chin. Olivier wears slim-fitting clothes and is almost always seen wearing a shoulder guard, a bracer, and his old, worn-out archery gloves.

[+] Picrew approximation

(Picrew used)

Personality: Olivier is very cold and distant, and he is usually very blunt and harsh to the few people who do approach him. He doesn't care for social niceties and would much rather be left alone. Olivier is careful and calculating, always looking two steps ahead and making sure that he has thought each and every decision through.

Relationships (TBD):
Olivier is a part of the archery club. He is a skilled archer, but refuses to participate in any competition, and is only in the club for access to the archery range and arrows.

• Friends: Unlikely to have many. He doesn't treat people he considers as friends much different from anyone else, either.
• Rivals: A worthy foe.
  • Mihai Dabija- "Even though he uses the easier weapon between us, I guess he's still a damn good shot. It's always a treat to see him on the range...because I really like watching him shoot. *Ahem*, because I'd never miss an opportunity to prove that I'm the better sharpshooter."
• Acquaintances: You'd have to be really damned interesting for him to bother remembering your name.
  • Lily Kemp- "Solid skill. Great strength. She'd be a solid hunter if she wasn't born in this stupid desert."
  • Claude O'Neil Porter- "Strong, but he seems like the type that isn't able to kill his prey. What a waste."
  • Simon Smith- "Annoying. Does he think that archery is some kind of show to watch?"
  • Lawrence Willoughby- "Why is he pretending to be my friend? What does he possibly get out of it?"
• Enemies: Possibly a few because of his foul personality, but he keeps to himself and doesn't actively try to antagonize others.

[NoLife]

Marie Tudor

Lily: Marie wants to have Lily as a loyal subject, for her brute strength and straightforward nature. This would not be the case however as Lily is incredibly distrustful, putting her mostly at Acquaintances
Taylor: Taylor would probably be on her friend's list, considering her wide skillset and talent. Taylor would also be someone who constantly flirts with her. wanting to "Eat the rich( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)" Out.

Jason Chase

Lily: Lily knows of him, but doesn't particularly care about him. That said, he has only managed to make her chuckle slightly and only once.
Taylor: CAN YOU SAY PARTNER IN CRIME?! Besties, in fact they are like a dynamic duo. When Jason is up to mischief there is a good chance Taylor isn't far behind.

Lucy Wu

Lily: A girl who keeps her head down? Why would Lily ever cause her issue. Despite this should she ever get in trouble or pushed around, Lily would help.
Taylor: They say every introvert needs an extrovert. Taylor is determined to be this girl's extrovert, being respectful of boundaries of course, Taylor has enough determination to break through her walls and befriend her. Also one of the few who are completely excluded from flirting, without being told.

Olivier Hawk

Lily: Lily doesn't even know he exists.
Taylor: Respects his work effort and besides occasionally entertaining the idea of "I can fix him." Still tries to be nice but knows when someone is a "Lost cause." in friendship terms.

[Magnum 0pus]

Howdy, I've come to givesome suggestions in regards to the friendships your kids can have with mine, Claude.

Marie - The way I see it, Claude could quite possibly be a good intermediary between being a loyal subject and being a friend, with him only slightly leaning more towards being a loyal subject due to how easy-going he is and how useful he can prove to be for Marie.

Jason - I envision Jason being great friends with Claude in a sort of comedic way; Claude tags along to make sure Jason doesn't get hurt when performing any stunts, and in case that does happen, he always makes sure to take him to the clinic/hospital. So, I see their friendship being one of painful comedy.

Lucy - She is an interesting case in a sense that, although she would be great friends with Claude, I see her showing a sort of suspicion towards him. Because why would someone like him be friends with her? Was he looking to gain anything out of their friendship? Truth to be told- No, he was and is not. He is really just someone who is great friends with everyone and wants to be there to help people in their time of need.

Olivier - The manner in which their relationship could work out could be similar to how Marie's works. Olivier could possibly consider Claude as an intermediary between being a friend and an acquaintance.

These are all my suggestions but I'm more than happy to change them to better suit your suggestions.

[BlightLupus]

I like it! Jason would probably see Claude as a bit of a nagging grandpa, but appreciate his help regardless. Lucy would find it difficult to understand Claude's intentions and be rather quiet and withdrawn around him, but still appreciate his company. Olivier isn't the type to humour others, but he respects Claude's strength enough to at least be courteous with him.

[Dr Adjective]

Hello it's me, me. (if you read me as the letters M and E it sounds a bit like Emmy, which is me!)

Anyway.

Marie!
First up, loathing so strong the fandom will call it sexual tension: Heather Klein hates her guts. It's as simple as that.
Mercy Myers probably likes her though, unless she (shameless plug) is aligned with these lot should they come into being.
Hope and LK probably don't have much to offer. Hope I imagine has a mildly negative opinion from afar, seeing her as a negative influence on Taylor? And LK just kinda thinks she's hot in a "step on me queen" way but I can't see her making a move, they seem like they'll be moving in pretty different circles.

Jason!
Theatre kid! Mercy kinda inverts his vibe; she'd rather have the attention of being centre-stage, but is rather good on makeup (specialising in effects stuff, horror stan) as well. So they've got that in common.
Unsure if they'd move in similar circles, but LK most definitely likes his energy.
Not much to say with Hope or Heather.

Lucy and Olivier... I don't have much to suggest for, but I'm open to ideas.

[BlightLupus]

Marie would like Heather for her fiery personality and strong ideals, and feel that it's a pity that they can't be friends due to differing views. Marie would also probably befriend Mercy, partly because of Mercy's family, but also because Marie likes her ambition to stand on her own two feet and and make a name for herself on her own achievements, something Marie empathizes with.

Jason would be friends with Mercy! He'd totally have Mercy critique his makeup and his costumes from time to time.

[Ryuki]

Marie: I could see her looking down on Flick for her fashion sense, since frequents stores such as Goodwill, Ross, Bealls, etc. But, she also could be impressed by Flick's cooking ability. She'd probably find Simon weird for his interest in horror. She'll write off Don as another one of the nerds. For Taylor, she might be impressed by her tennis and martial arts abilities. As for Wally, she might find him handsome and a skilled actor.

Jason: Since Wally is an actor in theatre club, no doubt they would have interacted. Wally is a friendly guy and they've probably had some pleasant conversations. And maybe Wally has asked for his help in making his cosplays. I could see Simon going to him for advice on makeup for his horror projects.

Lucy: Flick would probably ask her where she got that wolf earring.

Olivier: Perhaps Taylor's martial arts abilities will catch his eye. Flick might come off as obnoxious. And he'll find Simon kinda weird. I can imagine Simon asking him to help out in one of his videos if he needs a kill with a bow and arrow.

[BlightLupus]

Marie won't have much of an opinion on Flick's clothes since she herself has no interest in fashion and dresses nicely solely for the practical reason that people are more likely to listen to someone who is attractive. Besides, "Not everyone can afford the best of the best, and that's perfectly fine.". Other than that, I don't see her having much interest on everyone else.

Theatre friend! Also, Jason loves horror movies, so he'd definitely bond with Wally over that.

Lucy would mumble out something about a gift from her mom. She doesn't know where to buy one either

Olivier might remember Taylor if he ever saw her in action for whatever reason. He'd also shut down Simon's request almost instantly.

Your local Finch here with prospective relationship ideas

Marie:
Mihai would absolutely hate her guts. He hates rich people, he hates people who match his ambitions, and he hates people he sees as threats/having the potential to try and control him (damn, what a hater).

Law would be the polar opposite, totally entertaining her the whole high status thing she has going on and probably counting as either a loyal subject or a friend, depending on Marie's opinion on him. Going with the royalty theme, he'd be closest to the role of a royal advisor, despite the fact he probably doesn't have any worthwhile advice.

No significant relationship with Adrienne.

Jason:
Adrienne has the potential to be yet another friend of his. Not only does she get along well with more eccentric people who make her feel like she can be herself, but she usually goes to watch the school performances and would likely have a respect for those behind the creative designing aspect of it all. While she doesn't like being in the spotlight, which could potentially cause her to fade into the background if they're in a group with other people, they could probably serve to balance each other out - with Jason helping her embrace her quirks and Adrienne helping with grounding him when he acts extra crazy.

No significant relationship with Mihai or Law.

Lucy
Adrienne could work as an acquaintance. While she would probably feel too awkward to open up to her, they seem like the people who could hang out once in a while and not really talk that much, but just enjoy each other's company. Also, if they were to be in the same class and they didn't have any close friends in there, they'd probably work together for group projects to avoid talking to the people that overwhelm them.

Mihai would probably intimidate her and Law would have too much energy for her, so there would be no significant relationship there.

Olivier:
Mihai would have SUCH a complicated relationship with him. On the one hand, he would absolutely hate him, but on the other hand, he'd simultaneously find himself admiring and respecting him for his personality and skill. They also both focus on target sports, with Mihai doing rifle shooting and Olivier doing archery, which could potentially add some layer of both recognition but also rivalry on their behalf.

Law would annoy the hell out of him, no doubt. He'd try to act like they were friends because he thinks Olivier's cool, but he probably wouldn't be very tolerated.

No significant relationship with Adrienne.

[BlightLupus]

Marie probably would've liked to be at least amicable with someone like Mihai, but not too concerned about it. She's fine with being disliked. She would like Law's go-getting and proactive attitude and befriend him for that reason.

Jason would love poking at Adrienne to see her true self ever since "I sense a way more entertaining person you hide in there.". He'd probably like Law, tbh. He seems like someone who can keep up with him.

I love the idea of Lucy and Adrienne being awkward buds that get paired up in group projects to avoid socialising the with others! She'd be way too intimidated by Mihai and Law though yeah.

Olivier will absolutely find Law annoying and constantly try to stonewall him lol. I love that dynamic between Mihai and Olivier! He'd likely make a snarky remark or two about Mihai using the "easy weapon", but he'd genuinely respect Mihai's skill and find himself watching Mihai practice when they're in the shooting range together while trying to one-up him.
Also he'd totally find Mihai hot tbh.
