Plannings in pregame

#1

Post by Polybius »

I just got back from Florida and my brains scrambled so here we go

I only have one concept to reveal today. I'll add more when I'm more certain of them.

Mo Shadid

Mo is a kid from a conservative Egyptian upbringing who grew to be quite rebellious and independent. That manifested through an embrace of 50s greaser culture. He goes around with a leather jcket, sunglasses, and a pompadour. He loves cars, Elvis, and working out. He especially loves the ladies, and will hit on pretty much any reasonably attractive girl. Success varies. He's not too pushy or anything, but he has high self-esteem and low self-awareness.

Looking for some gym bro male friends and girls he's hit on

Hello! Let's get down to brass tacks;
  • Amaryllis and Mo; I like to think that Amaryllis is plenty attractive enough for Mo to hit on. I also like to think that Amaryllis would sooner kill herself than be with him. Disagreements on politics are sure to follow, and Amaryllis thinks his greaser aesthetic totally sucks ass. I don't know how well he'd take getting slapped in the face. Mai Onodera is also supposed to be pretty cute, but she's also likely to reject him and kickbox at him instead of slapping him this time. We'll see about Leilani when she's done.
  • Eugene and Mo; Let's say they were workout buddies before the injury. That gives a lot to work with when they reconvene after the pandemic and Mo realizes Eugene's sort of mellowed out. Their relationship is probably in some sort of weird flux state as a result, with the possibility that Mo thought highly of Eugene at some point and now is in conflict over his nerdier turn.
  • Coda and Mo; Coda totally turns Mo into meme fodder at any given opportunity. If Mo is 2020s enough to have a cell phone, he might figure out what's going on and try doing a fight with Coda, which Coda would absolutely show up to and have their shit pushed in at. I mean, if Mo's the kind of fights after school guy that the greaser slick lets on. This does not stop the memes, though, which degrade Mo for his 1950's style and conservative views.
  • K and Mo; K doesn't keep himself in good shape, but the greaser stuff actually looks really cool to K's eyes and he might have tried being a hanger on with him at some point. Probably on decent terms unless K's group has tried to get them to stop hanging out, which I'd have to check in with them on at some point.
