My only kid so far I have a good idea about.
Brock Cayman-
Brock’s pretty much your average goth, dark hair, dark clothes, dark music played loud, pale skin, lots of skeletons and spiderweb designs, lifts more than you, built like Dolph Lundgreen in Rocky 4, hits like him too because he is a bit of a boxing enthusiast. Looks scary as hell.

Spoiler!
Do I have concepts yes, are they well fleshed out no, do I want to post them anyway as a way of forcing commitment, maybe.
Concepts are subject to change and I'm subject to disappear for months/years at a time.
Mohammed "Mo" Shadid - (Just reposted from mini) Egyptian boy who decided to break away from his strict Muslim upbringing and forge his own path of dressing like a 50s greaser and acting like Johnny Bravo. His hobbies include working out, riding his motorcycle, listening to The King, and maintaining his pompadour. He hits on any foxy babe that comes his way, but he's rarely successful. He views himself as a suave bad boy; very confident and very unaware of how he comes off. He can be charmed and serious when he doesn't get sidetracked (he always gets sidetracked).
Chloe Robbins - Chloe is clam and measured, on the outside. She's an avid film buff and a member of the a/v club. She's made a few short films herself. She interested in wellness, keeping up habits of healthy eating, yoga, and meditation. Her biggest issue, though, is that she has an intense fear of death stemming from childhood trauma.
She was borderline agoraphobic during middle school, but since then has made strides in working on her mental health. One way she deals with her fears is by expressing them in her art - her films have dark and bleak subject matter. She's writing a script for an SOTF inspired short film, but doesn't have any intention of producing it until college.
Ernest "Ernie Bork" Borkowski - Ernie just wants to live life to the fullest. He's not smart or disciplined or any of that, but that stuff's for nerd. Life's all about havin' fun, bro. Ernie Bork, as he calls himself (also answers to Borky, Ern, E-Dog, E-Bork), is a loud jokester. He likes to think he's friends with everyone, though some haters call him "annoying" or "a douchebag". His hobby is social media- he has active accounts on twitter, insta, snapchat, tiktok, and youtube. His youtube channel is his main passion: he uploads videos of him hanging out with his friends and doing stunts and pranks. He's also on the wrestling team, gotta keep in good shape. Finally, Ernie knows how to play guitar and wants to get a band together. He's trying to bring back ska. It hasn't worked so far.
Dalton Butcher - A bit of an odd guy. Dalton has an intimidating presence- he's tall, is always scowling and he rarely speaks. He doesn't have any friends and seemingly makes no attempt to connect with anyone. When he does speak, he's blunt and terse. Dalton has a cut and dry view of the world- he looks at things simply and practically. He's not at all sympathetic to peoples' petty problems. He enjoys camping and hiking, preferring the outdoors. He also, through his family, has some experience with hunting and target shooting.

Well, figure I'd bite the bullet and post some of my concepts.
Medea Parth — Super nice girl, basically the teenage girl version of Fred Rodgers. She is just a big ball of unconditional love and is super tolerant of everyone and never has a bad word to say about people. If you are having a bad day, she'll be there to offer a pep talk and tell you about how unique and amazing you are, and that you shouldn't change cause you are already perfect. She is part of an old clique of friends that she has known for years and loves them all very dearly. While super nice, she is also incredibly lazy. She isn't much for doing anything, and would prefer to stay inside and LP video games than to go outside. if it weren't for her friends dragging her out of her house she'd likely not have much of a social life. It's not that she is anti-social, just that she comfortable staying in. She is also something of a tinkerer, enjoying taking tech apart, repairing it, or modifying it. She is truly talented, but her laziness often means her modifications/repairs tend to be pretty slap-dash, held together with duct tape and zipties. The fact anything she cobbles together works at all is a testament to her skill. Still needs some fleshing out.
Randolph Whateley — My occult kid concept I was gonna do for V7 but never finished. Very tall, lanky, ugly, albino kid that is pretty much a bundle of issues shambling around in a roughly-bipedal approximation of a man. Chronically depressed, hyper-sensitive to criticism, agoraphobic, and prone to horrible nightmares and nervous breakdowns. Lives with his wealthy grandfather (either in a old manor or a farm, depending on the setting of V8) every since middle school as both his parents are dead. Is an animal lover and aspires to being a vet (although he has a fear of dogs due to a childhood incident where one bit him), owns a black pet dwarf pygmy goat named Helen that he absolutely adores, loves bird watching (which he picked up when he attempted augury), loves swimming, and collects Funko Pops (his Nerd Cthulhu Funko Pop is his most prized possession). Still needs some fleshing out.
Danielle "Dani" Bird — Rich, popular, pretty, cheerleader, daddy's girl. Absolutely adores her loan shark father and is completely ignorant to his illegal deals. Is hot and is super aware of that fact, often flaunting what she's got with clothes that show off her body. She is also rather talented, particularly in singing and has a love for opera and musicals thanks in part to the influence of her late grandmother. Has a bit of an ego because of her looks and talents, but is a total sweetheart to people and is rather fun loving. She is a great person to have at a party because she'll enthusiastically throw herself into whatever activity is going on. Still needs some fleshing out.
I intend to have a fourth character at some point, but these are the three I have an idea for.

hello i should put kids in my own thread, huh. "stuff i'll probably be looking for" is stuff that's more specific than just like "friends" so i can start making plans super in advance where they'll inevitably never come to fruition so my dreams can be crushed thanks
"Well, Fenris, the King of Gossip. We meet again."
I'll also be handling two other kids, both collaborations with other handlers. Details here aren't as fleshed out yet due to the moving parts involved in working out shared character backstories, so on. I'll know more about them closer to the proper version!
Salem Fox, younger brother of Deamon's Carolina Fox
Ashlyn Graves, elder sister of VoltTurtle's Katelyn Graves

Decided to deep clean my apartment today, so obviously I'm posting about my future concepts instead of doing that.
Kai Rosado-Prince: Local Cryptid Spotted At The 7-11, More At 9. Definitely the most levelheaded and possibly the most well-adjusted of these gremlins despite the fact that his parents were in a cult preppers/anti-government types before their relationship fell apart and started a series of events that ended up with Kai no longer being in their care by middle school. He no longer wants anything to do with that lifestyle, but he still loves being in nature and routinely goes on solo hikes/camping trips. Bisexual but deeply closeted. Not very social, but has Team Dad Energy.
Taylor Thorne: Anthropomorphized Monster Energy Drink. Tay's hobbies include playing weird indie video games and not having anything like a regular human sleep cycle. AFAB but gender-questioning, but they're only out about it on the online right now. They don't officially have anxiety or ADHD but their bad habits have made them a bundle of nervous energy anyway. Likes girls and likes to party.
Iris Waite: I don't have a humorous blurb for Iris yet, sorry Iris. My obligatory hot mess, Iris has good grades and a bunch of hobbies that on paper make her look well put-together, but she's got abandonment issues from an absent mom and a well-meaning but overbearing single dad. Extremely clingy to her friends and easily peer-pressured. Doesn't realize that she can come off as stalkerish at times. Ideally on student council, but in one of the positions that nobody cares about, which she ran for because she knew nobody else was interested. Theoretically straight.
Angelo Lee: LARP Gremlin (similar to but legally distinct from Elena's LARP Gremlin). Part of the Filipino-American squad. Under 5'5" but still somehow always the loudest person in the room. Angelo is a good boy, just overenthusiastic. He likes all things fantasy RPG, especially tabletop and now LARP. Also pretty into social justice, particularly issues of immigration and racial equality. Yes, he does always play a paladin. His parents are very concerned that his hobbies are going to land him in the hospital one of these days. Probably aro/ace, as his only true love is Justice.

"Art enriches the community, Steve, no less than a pulsing fire hose, or a fireman beating down a blazing door. So what if we're drawing a nude man? So what if all we ever draw is a nude man, or the same nude man over and over in all sorts of provocative positions? Context, not content! Process, not subject! Don't be so gauche, Steve, it's beneath you."

Names are placeholders subject to change, any resemblance to real people is totally coincidental, I swear.
Alessandro Long: Former Wide Receiver of the school's Football team, now a track star instead. Tall, moderately good looking, and somewhat popular. He's extremely politically outspoken, and an advocate of everything from social justice to LGBTA+ advocacy, which (given I'm expecting we'll land in a more left leaning city than Tennessee for V8) will probably be a part of why he's popular. It's just a shame he doesn't really believe in any of it. Hard-working, and far too arrogant and proud about that fact, although he tries his best to keep it under wraps. Basically personified toxic masculinity with a blue lacquer.
Looking for: People who believe he's everything he says he is, people who know what he's actually like, and a Quarterback (or other ex-Football teammate) to have beef with.
Erin Rahne: Quiet girl with a dysfunctional home life. Father travelled a lot for work (in the entertainment industry), mother took care of her at home, father has affair during work, divorce ensues. Now enjoys split custody between two people who are in their own unique ways incapable of raising her properly. Has a lot of trouble dealing with her emotions properly, but mostly keeps them in check at school and claws herself to the bare minimum passing grades. Plays a lot of video games, will hurl incredibly hurtful stuff in chat if she's losing. Steals from supermarkets to feel like she has some semblance of control over her life.
Looking for: People she plays vidja with, maybe some actual friends who help support her.

Although I've stated it in their descriptions, I'm probably bringing only two of these kids at the most to the island, and right now, I'm fairly sure it'll be Ruby-Ann and Ashlei. Things may change, but we'll see!

Okay guys another concept.
Hyperion Gauthier is a farm boy, raised with his uncle and grandfather after losing his parents and younger sister at the age of six. He's handy, strapping, looks like the punkiest punk and is super into marble racing after being confined to his home for an extended period.
Awkward guy, in danger of repeating a year because... bad at science, needs a tutor.
And he's a cheerleader now, a base. Thanks chat~♡

I got two more because fahkeet let’s try something different.
Kid one: Francis Ray Mason, another of Toxie’s trademark punk twinks, or pwinks. Idea came from a conversation earlier in chat, but Francis is your average teenage rabble rouser who loves doing stupid shit for the sole purpose of being a stupid shit. Grew up in either a trailer park or a culdesac depending on location, Francis’ family never had much money. Despite having little money to spend on fun things, Francis makes do by being the creative type. It’s a shame for everyone else because Francis’ idea of fun is being a public nuisance, from playing Death Race by strapping Roman candles or bottle rockets to his bicycle, slingshotting himself out of a shopping cart in a parking lot, or tossing stinkbombs in the egg aisle of a local supermarket, Francis does some wildin shit. May record it and have a group of friends with people who have the same interests if other handlers are down.
Next kid,
Leon Fritz, a skateboarder with an artistic bent. He loves editing movies, drawing, and graffiti designs. He’s also a closet furry and he keeps that specific art account top secret. Mostly pretty chill to talk to, but slightly socially awkward, and certain things makes him drop his spaghetti. Probably the smartest of my v8 cast but that’s not saying much.
