Hunter Kim
summary: terrible beautiful weeb twink. terminal writer of checks his fists can't cash but he won't let that stop him. unfortunately talented and mildly internet-famous, at least enough to worsen his ego problem. maybe one day he'll find another positive character trait!
[image song: Better Off Worse - CircusP]
points:- very pretty, extremely aware of it, extremely high maintenance. do not touch his hair. yes it is as soft as it looks
- weeb extraordinaire. reads more manga than he watches anime but plenty of both. gamer boy but single player only because gamers are gross, duh
- super into j-fashion as a subset of his weebdom. has cleared out the stock of every OMOCAT collection since 2020
- is a fairly prolific content creator. initially did vocaloid covers exclusively, developed a small fandom on that, and branched out into vtubing after spending an entire summer basically doing nothing but working on a Live2D avatar. has a decent amount of subs and is unfortunately unfairly good at singing, and drawing, and pretending to be likeable on the internet. sn: hunterxxh, name HUNTER
- grinding all day every day. if he can't be actively working on content he's probably networking. if he's not doing either he is probably making you suffer for making him do something else
- irl his primary priority is to cause problems on purpose at least when he has the energy to bother caring about irl people at all
- constantly working on something or another whether it be Content or Scheming, chronically exhausted as a result, the eye bags just means hes grinding harder than you
- chronic party-attender for the Drama and also the boys even tho tbh he'd rather be streaming
- has probably locked himself into an unsustainable cycle of work and creation and not sleeping but you would too if your numbers looked this good
- naturally irritable but capable of turning on the in-character streamer Charm when needed, like if you are a boy who is cute, or if he wants to get under your skin
- or maybe if he actually likes you (rare)
- positive qualities: talented, hard-working, ambitious, charming
- negative qualities: petty, argumentative, egotistical, superficial
- basically any sufficiently cute boy that he may have kissed at some point in the past (current relationship may range from "he's fun at parties" to "please don't remind me he exists")
- possible actual ex-boyfriends if anyone could suffer long enough
- maybe one guy hunter has an actual doki doki in his heart for if you hate your kid enough for that
- fellow weeb types - hunter is probably not a staple at anime club because he has too much shit going on but he probably drops in occasionally. he can poke at people's weak spots in arguments to get rises but he does looove talking about things he's invested in. he may even let you also talk
- possible fans of his content, probably overlapping with "fellow weebs" but its reasonably obvious if you see hunter irl that his content is his, so if you were a fan you'd probably guess. again Unfortunately he's pretty good at all the stuff he does so it would not be unreasonable
- maybe some like actual friends??? if it hasn't been made clear yet hunter is not super easy to get along with but i'd like him to have at least a few people he has an actual soft spot for through some manner or another. maybe friends from when they were younger, maybe someone who just meshes well with him in conversation and doesn't get tripped up by the land mines he drops mid-dialogue, maybe someone who honestly admires how much work he puts into things. i swear theres a befriendable boy in there somewhere you just might need to dig a little bit
- Lucien Renault (Salic) - We don't talk about it.
- Ray Janeczek (Cicada) - A couple of months he looks back on fondly, a rare sort of thing. Having a girlfriend makes him way less interesting, but they can still be friends, he guesses. (Maybe half a flicker of a feeling in there somewhere—probably not though, feelings are for losers!)
- Johnny Benowitz (Fiori) - Pretty sure this one didn't actually happen. Like, sounds fake?
- Mona Marroquín (Cicada) - Fame is suffering and so is friendship, right queen?
- Amber Barnes (Pippi) - Mutual bitching is a reasonable source for something friendship-adjacent, probably.
- Marcy Valerio (Fiori) - She's like. Pink? Hunter's mildly super intimidated by the whole delinquent squad t-b-h, at least Marcy's like, definitely not scary.
- Ivy Briar (Cicada) - What's the point in being good if you aren't taking advantage of it? No complaints, he just doesn't get it.
- Wade Colter (EllisWilson) - Whomst?
- Koa Tagaloa (Fiori) - Ugh okay he's fine but please watch something more interesting, shonen rots your brain etcetera.
- Manuel "Mañana" Hernández (LYourLocalAutist) - Easy to see how him and Mona dated, they're both such fucking tryhards it hurts.
- Patty English (Pippi) - Lucky things didn't go worse for her, honestly- Hunter's fans are vicious little devils (said with love)
- Vivian Cho (Zetsu) - What? Who? She's fine. It's nothing.
- Dennis "Buck" Buckley (Pippi) - "Christ, what the fuck did I do to you," said Hunter, like a liar.

Trent James Taylor
summary: Dysthymia (/dɪsˈθaɪmiə/ dihs-THIY-mee-uh), also known as persistent depressive disorder (PDD),[3] is a mental and behavioral disorder,[5] specifically a disorder primarily of mood, consisting of similar cognitive and physical problems as major depressive disorder, but with longer-lasting symptoms.
[image song: Lemon Tree - Fool's Garden]
points:- like, you know, whatever?
- heterosexual life partners with boogie's Sirius which is ironic because they're both gay
- they're in a very shitty band that only has a bassist and a drummer and no they're not going to get more members that would like throw off the vibes probably
- will basically do anything you ask him to do as long as it will take less than 5 minutes and less than 1% of his energy
- either was diagnosed with dysthymia in late elementary/early middle school and his meds aren't doing much or hasn't been diagnosed, haven't decided yet; either way he has sort have just figured this is what life is and it's fine. his relevant symptoms: general lack of emotional range for most things, chronically low-energy, has to be reminded to eat, alternates between sleeping not at all and waaaay too much
- eats real food like once a day and/or when someone makes him but is constantly eating candy, like he constantly just has candy for some reason and it is always in his mouth
- has So many games on his phone because one of those games will maybe unlock the serotonin one day
- really into two things: playing the drums and professional wrestling
- if you ever want to magically charge him with energy please ask for his opinions about jey uso and its like wow that's an alive boy!
- generally content to drift around in life like a balloon on a string that Sirius carries around
- would be cool if he could find something that makes life a little less like that but you know, honestly, it's fine? this is fine.
- actually a pretty funny dude, it is probably a coping mechanism, but if absurdist dark humor is your brand he's got you
- probably anyone who gets to know him outside of Sirius would be at least mildly worried about him all things considered but like seriously he's fine. he ate like yesterday he's not going to drop dead if he doesn't eat today you know?
- positive qualities: idk man im just here
- negative qualities: stuff probably
- you know........ whatever..... sorry ill cut the bit
- anyone into professional wrestling at all, he wears wrestling t-shirts as like half his wardrobe so he's not hiding lmao
- other musicians - ive seen that there's like a million bands planned for pregame atm, maybe theres a friendly rivalry thing happening, maybe they just run in the same circles. trent does have a lot of feelings about the Art of Drumming and such so other drummers might get along with him
- maybe a guy that he had to interact with for a group project or something and now he has a feeling about and he's just keeping it in a Disallowed Feelings Basement
- maybe a guy he dated at some point and they broke up because his brain never stopped being Like That
- any mom friends who want to try to keep him from slowly killing himself (he's fine he swears etc)
- whoever else might have wandered into his life and found him interesting for some reason or another
- Sirius Miller-Ward (dmboogie) - Best friend, obviously. Other half or soulmate or something equally gay, probably? Don't ask what any of it means though, it's probably fine.
- Koa Tagaloa (Fiori) - It's Wednesday. You know what that means. Etcetera.
- Wade Colter (EllisWilson) - Gonna drag him to an AEW show eventually, there's a whole world out there, broaden your horizons.
- Patty English (Fiori) - She's probably better at this than she thinks she is. By "this" he means Mario Kart mostly, but also other things! Good for her having dreams and shit, can't relate but he can wave a little "go you" sign.
- Ray Janeczek (Cicada) - Cool dude, good vibes. Trent thinks every band around here kind of sucks (his own included) so like, no accounting for taste.
- Raya Loux (LYourLocalAutist) - She's trying real hard to help, huh. Whatever's wrong with him isn't changing any time soon but it's nice of her to try?
- Céline Sharpe (LYourLocalAutist) - Woof. Like, maybe it's a little encouraging that he isn't the saddest person here? Nah, that just makes him feel worse.
- Marcy Valerio (Fiori) - He figures anyone who likes sweets that much can't be a bad person.
- Amber Barnes (Pippi) - Yep, doing just fine,
, etc. Maybe it'd be good for him to get to a point where randos don't think he's gonna keel over. - Alejandro Garcia de Teresa (Pippi) - Trust him, if you could do anything about any of this Sirius would have by now.
, etc. Maybe it'd be good for him to get to a point where randos don't think he's gonna keel over.- [+] doing his best prince

Ezra Gideon Weiss
summary: athletic, smart, popular, has his life together, wow look at him go! wow look at him drown. wow he does appear to be drowning. oh dear
[image song: That's Okay - The Hush Sound]
points:- cool popular athletic boy, involved in baseball and cheer squad
- also very smart, making straight As, or else he was up until relatively recently
- generally appears to be pretty perfect, his obvious lack of confidence tends to come across as "modesty" because come on, what could he possibly be insecure about
- truth? he's flailing. he's a decent teammate at baseball but not at a level that it would get him to college and his grades have been tanking as he's been crashing from the pressure
- his parents are Extremely overwhelming, and his older siblings are fuckups, so he's the one who's supposed to Make It
- is very definitely going to an ivy league school you guys, haha, (frantically photoshops an acceptance letter together)
- really desperately needs therapy but is extremely reluctant to make other people party to his problems
- perfectly happy to listen to other people's problems though! please make him your sounding board he is fine with it
- has a general emotional hierarchy of "people who are important to him" and will generally agree with whoever he loves the most in an argument regardless of who's right
- has a golden retriever named Simon he would literally die for
- emotionally invested in the state of the flowers he grows in his backyard
- keeps a fairly extensive journal that is sometimes just violent ink scribbles because thats how things have been going lately
- generally just a really nice dude. invested in making sure other people are doing okay. burning his clothes to keep other people warm (metaphorically)
- positive qualities: kind, athletic, diplomatic, understanding
- negative qualities: anxious, insecure, passive, timid
- shock of all shocks i am writing a Straight Boy, he is currently taken but crushes/exes are possible
- generally should be part of the Popular Squad for whatever that is worth, particularly friendly with members of the baseball team + cheer squad!
- a wide variety of general acquaintances, ezra is nice to pretty much everyone he meets and if you want to drop a drama bomb on him for some reason he Will listen to you
- very possible at some point he pissed someone off by not taking sides in an argument (or taking the Wrong Side because he didnt want to make someone specific mad)
- relatedly if someone doesn't like him because they think he's two-faced or a wuss (he Will be sad about this)
- oh yeah he's also jewish and not really religious but gets dragged to temple by family now and then so he may or may not know any other jewish kids in this class by default
- Cordelia Clark (Jilly) - All this time and he still can't believe she's real.
- Alejandro Garcia de Teresa (Pippi) - Best friends means forever, even when it's hard. It's getting harder all the time. How do you tell someone you love that they're ruining your life- asking for a friend.
- Clarissa Shoemaker (Cicada) - She has such a big heart. He's earnestly and eternally grateful to her for getting him to join cheer; considering a reality where he didn't is high key terrifying actually! (He's over it, he's over it, he's over it - god, he had better be over it.)
- Amber Barnes (Pippi) - He's a little jealous of her ability to have a good time no matter what, it seems like, but all that means is that she brings the good time wherever she goes. (Okay, this one he is over, he swears, he just maybe gets a little flustered sometimes and that is fine and normal!)
- Michael Goldstein (Applesintime) - It's great, right? He's happy for them, right? He is. He swears. Give him a minute. Give him six months. Give him something.
- Ivy Briar (Cicada) - Her kindness is a blessing on the worst days. Cheer is family, always.
- Vivian Cho (Zetsu) - He wishes he could shake off the demons like she has. He's happy for her, of course, and she tries so hard on his behalf! He just... wishes.
- Johnny Benowitz (Fiori) - Where does he find the time to get good at so many things? Ezra's kind of in awe.
- Bambi Soledad (Cicada) - She's very sweet, but exhausting, and Ezra is exhausted 24/7 as is.
- Wade Colter (EllisWilson) - They don't have much in common, but he seems like a stand-up guy.
- Marcy Valerio (Fiori) - Kind of impressive how intimidating she manages to be at her size! But, uh, cheer is family and all that.
- Patty English (Pippi) - They have a surprising amount in common, just, uh, not in a way that adds up to too much. She seems nice though!

Alistair Ambrose "Lynx" Grimes
summary: the first rule of committing crimes is to have fun and be yourself
[image song: Do Ya Wanna Taste It - Wig Wam]
points:- nice gender did your doctor pick it out for you lmao
- ye old childhood trauma: mom was sick and overprotective, dad was abusive, they weren't allowed to do shit besides go to face-punching lessons because something something real man something
- dad is gone now and mom cant control them so who even cares about any of that lets get wild yall
- they can still throw down though dont get that twisted. probably will not start a fight (unless its for fun) but is down to end one
- life philosophy: if it sounds like fun: do it. if it sucks: hit da bricks!!!
- yeah sometimes that works out badly, whatever, you live and learn or w/e. yeah sometimes other people might get hurt but fuckin sucks for them should have gotten out of the way am i right guys
- thrill seeker extraordinaire. adrenaline junkie without an off switch. into urbex, graffiti, climbing things that should not be climbed, they're actually pretty decent at photography but that's a side thing, also sometimes, yknow, crimes
- habitual line stepper. if you want them not to do something you're going to have to reverse psychology them about it because otherwise their eyes start sparkling like an anime character's in anticipation of breaking a rule
- their true love in life is their beloved ktm rc 390, the rest of yall are competing for second place. yes you can ride with them if you're cool enough
- has the fashion sense of a blind clown and an increasingly silly collection of tattoos and piercings including those dumb upper lip rings that look like little fangs. if they arent wearing Every Color someone else probably picked their clothes today
- basically always in a good mood, ready with the jokes, having a good time forever, really easy to get along with and generally seems like a pretty cool dude! you might end up collateral damage but like in the meantime
- extremely difficult to provoke but its probably best to not try to force them to do anything too hard or it might not go great for you
- literally could not possibly care less whether their friends are good people or hurting others or any of that as long as they're a good time
- ^ same philosophy but with hookups. gender isnt relevant bc gender isnt even REAL nerds!!!!
- positives: they have positive traits??? charismatic, adventurous, fearless, adaptable
- negatives: hedonistic, capricious, reckless, unreliable
- delinquent squad i am Coming for you i know where you live. yall made me make this thing (also if i go a whole version without a delinquent kid ive been replaced)
- other friends: anyone who shares similar interests (motorcycles, urbex, graffiti, fighting exploring more generally, maybe photography but they advertise that one less); they're genuinely a chill and fun dude to hang around with most of the time they just have a hard time caring about people in non superficial ways so don't expect it to matter too much where it counts
- MAYBE (i am CONSIDERING) like one friend that they actually do care about on a deeper level than "cool friend i can fuck around with". maybe. (or maybe they'll evolve to have functional relationships in pregame i am known for this)
- relationships/hookups: i cannot imagine them having been in a relationship that lasted more than two weeks and was predicated on more than "idk it sounded like fun" before they got bored and called it off, totally open to those having happened in the past. hookups can be literally anyone who's kind of cute and is a good time even if they would theoretically hate them in the light of day (and sobriety probably)
- enemies: plenty of good reasons to dislike them, probably related to the company they keep or possibly they did something fucked up to your kid at some point and didn't notice. feel free to hate them if you aren't actively harshing their vibe they Will Not Notice
- Arielle Grimes (Cicada) - The injustice of it all would rip them to shreds if they thought about it too hard, so they don't. Just hold her hand when she needs it and that's enough.
- Amber Barnes (Pippi) - Would be less into it if she didn't want to strangle them sometimes, probably. Shit's a roller coaster and they'll cut to the front of the line again every time around.
- Birch Zhu (Zetsu) - Eager to please, desperate for approval, does whatever Lynx tells them to- they've always wanted a dog, y'know?
- Marcy Valerio (Fiori) - Lynx has an idea-
- Clarissa Shoemaker (Cicada) - Anyone who can make their baby girl go vroom again when she's feeling down is basically a magician in their eyes! Appreciating the drip is a bonus.
- Wade Colter (EllisWilson) - Legally speaking, snitches aren't people! That's probably in the Bible.
- Dennis "Buck" Buckley (Pippi) - Okay imagine the just a little birthday boy tweet but at the end of it the little birthday boy punched the jacked bro in the face, and also the little birthday boy was six feet tall and also jacked??
)) I've sort of reworked him into less of an active shit-stirrer but he is certainly still a passive one especially with people who are easy to set off.
