ok so i have three four concepts that have meat under their bones. these are rough rough drafts so if things change later on, don't be too surprised.
yes i copy pasted these from the concepts thread don't judge me
also fair note i'm fairly low-energy so i'll probably be slow at replying to these gomenapologies
june madison:
- your typical dean's lister on the surface
- has good grades, wants to get into a Good College
- likes cooking chinese and american food
- centrist, probably biden democrat kind of person
- likes listening to bossa nova music because it brings her to her happy place
- also has severe anger issues that are unknown to everyone except her family and closest friends. she's been working very hard to keep it under control, goes to therapy for it, she's terrified that if she has an outburst it'll ruin her chances at a good life. she's lost a few friends due to some of these outbursts
- she really likes cooking, might be what she studies for in college
- in terms of relationships with frends aside from the s i n k i d s, she's probably personable in general. she likes being liked, and is mostly good at keeping her temper under control, so she's friendly in general. probably closest with fellow high-achievers.
- in terms of enemies, just, like, general shit-stirrers. she'll make a point to avoid these people because they raise her blood pressure, she won't actively fight them i think??? not entirely sure here so if you want to propose something here i'm all ears
- straight. maybe a few boyfriends, casual, hasn't really gotten much more serious than that. most she's ever done is kissed, if that, even
jayson sabangan:
- pinoy squad!!!
- laidback, chill, likes putting his head down for the most part
- loves drawing, cartoon-ish style, gets flooded with art requests by his friends
- recently moved to the philippines around 8th grade or so, misses home, feels a constant sense of disconnection and not belonging, even among the friends he currently has
- autistic
- friends are probably fellow art friends and stuff
- he regrets to inform you that he is in fact part of the basketball team, his father made him go there so he could be in a sportsball team, but he's short and chonky and clumsy so he's really not a good fit. he hates going there every single day, it is humiliating, but such is life.
- pansexual but more attracted to boys than girls, closer to aromantic than not, not really strongly involved in romance either way (but am willing to hear ideas suggesting otherwise). mostly looks on at crushes and does nothing because he's pretty sure he'll fuck it up somehow because of how socially awkward he is
nyah ellwood:
- NI-ah not NYAH
- born in kenya
- adopted by a white couple when she was a toddler, too young to remember where she came from or who her birth parents were
- you're the best! around! nothing's gonna ever keep you down! one of the top players of a flash game called transformice, is actually Very dedicated to the smol online community there
- kinda terrified of what's to come because transformice is based on adobe flash which is shutting down by the end of 2020. the community in the game is slowly dying, shrinking, she's basically ageing out because the game's mostly aimed for people Younger than her
- is currently looking for another game/community to join/get good at, but has had no success so far
- is kind of a loner irl with unremarkable grades because she structured her life around her online friends
- doesn't really have any other hobbies
- if she has friends it's probably among the gaming group but it's more talking about games than playing games because her laptop is a brick that can't handle super complex games
- actually she probably dabbles with both the anti sotf and the tankie group so if your kids are in those groups/affiliated with them hit me up. basically ends up in them because she needs to find a group of friends somehow right? starts with anti sotf group, drifts away from them but hangs around for Reasons, gravitates more towards tankie group now
- has conservative missionary parents so she probably doesn't bring up her politics around them because it's pretty clear their views are different from hers and she doesnt like fighting. she keeps quiet about her views in general because she's never sure if she's researched them enough, if she knows enough
saim bonilla:
- SA-eem
- pakistani mom, puerto rican-american dad. mom is first gen immigrant, doctor of some kind, dad is second gen born and raised in salem
- sk8r boi!!! it's a pretty consistent hobby he has had since childhood
- had a pretty lonely elementary school life, pretty friendless because he was a rather taciturn kid at this point in time
- got introduced to some sportsball or another around middle schoolbecause [static]
- became fit basically had a Glo Up so lots of girls started having crushes on him and stuff
- actually really really liked all this positive attention, leaned into it.
- is also gay btw so not like any of those crushes actually went anywhere
- very gay
- conflict with his dad in particular re this, both parents are traditional. the mom is kinda cool with it though and there's this kind of truce for the meantime, an uneasy truce in the house. they don't talk much about this
- he's closer to his mom than his dad in general
- he basically purposefully puts on this sort of bad boy aesthetic because it's what Hot and Cool with the Teens and also he generally likes guys that look like that and also also he likes being handsome he likes being admire
- to clarify i mean most of his shirts are probably sleeveless/muscle shirts along with ripped jeans, shorts, will try to get tattoos as soon as he's able, spends an hour a day styling his hair, the works
- terminally online on instagram/twitter
- Impostor Syndrome. deep-seated feeling that he doesnt belong where he is socially and that someone will find him out sooner or later, make him friendless as he belongs
- generally personable because he's popular so it kinda feels required at this point
- gay
- he does this because cool popular teens date a lot of people so he should date a lot of people right? he doesnt really actually have a good grasp of, like, intimacy or long-term relationships, he just has fun, moves onto the next guy, and it's okay i guess it feels good i guess but he's not really sure if he's having fun or not
- attends lots of parties because that's where he generally finds guys but also parties are just fun being around people is just fun and if he's not around people then what's the point of him?
