Medic's V8 Relationship Thread

[ViolentMedic]

Refined this thread now that my kids, for the most part, have coherent profiles. (Some prior-to-profiles relationships may need to be reworked or abandoned.)

Marshall West

Details:
- 18, Male, Caucasian
- Hobbies: Photography, studying, weight lifting and exercise, body improvement.
- School Activities: Lacrosse, cross country and track, student council, photography club. Captain of both Boy's Lacrosse and Track. Out-of-school part of the Body Improvement Club.
- Short and stocky with significant muscle. Dark, wavy hair that he tries to brush well. Thick eyebrows and manic blue eyes. An excessively expressive face and a somewhat formal style of dress.
- A loud, stubborn boy focused on academic success, who treats everything with the exact same amount of importance—that is to say, everything is an arguing matter, no matter how small. Otherwise encouraging and friendly, just overly passionate. Former upper class, but the recession hit his family hard.

Looking For:
- Friends and Acquaintances.
- Enemies. (Anyone he’s rubbed the wrong way.)
- Potential future partners. (Gay but oblivious to it, might need some help realizing he is.)

Relationships:
- Lúcio Oliveira (VoltTurtle): Friends/Fellow Lacrosse Players. Marshall has a lot of respect for his ability to bring people together via Body Improvement Club. (Maybe has a tiny bit of a unrealized crush.)
- Lara 'Spuds' Bullock (Slam): Friendly due to similar sporting interests/both being Lacrosse captains. Mutual respect, though Spuds thinks Marshall needs to tone his general deal down.
- Teddie Boyd (Slam): Friendly Acquaintances due to Sports/Cheering crossing over, but sometimes their mutual enthusiasm and loudness results in conflict.
- Iris Waite (backslash): Friendly due to mutual interests in student council and photography club, though Marshall can be overly loud and bossy compared to Iris' more doormat/people-pleasing personality.
- Donovan Lauer (Dogs321): Track team members. They share a similar critical nature (and similar poor backgrounds and such) but Donovan's criticalness is more negative while Marshall's is in the name of improvement. Marshall has taken it upon himself to try and fix that.
- Betty "Ty" Hartley (Kamikaze): Conflicted. Respects her academic and success and anti-bullying tendencies, dislikes her tendency towards violence and defending her own bullying friends.
- Vladimir Tepes (MK Kilmarnock): Dislikes due to his general rude attitude, but attempts to get along with him due to them both being on the lacrosse team. It doesn't often work.

Russell "Fitz" Fitzroy

Details:
- 18, Male, Caucasian
- Hobbies: Ghosts and the supernatural, conspiracy theories, antique doll collecting, roller skating.
- School Activities: None. However, part of the unofficial Student Disaster Preparedness Association.
- String bean, tall and skinny. Messy, blond hair that sticks straight up. Heavy freckles and crooked teeth. Often shadows under his eyes due to numerous all-nighters. Usually wears dresses or skirts, and always wears hoodies.
- A lazy boy whose focus is either 110% or -1000%, and who is stubborn about being upfront about anything he thinks people might not appreciate. This mostly equals being chatty about conspiracy theories, and openly wearing skirts and being bisexual. He prefers to get those things out there fast, so as to not lose friends later.

Looking For:
- Friends and Acquaintances. (Anyone who can at least put up with Fitz’s weird chatter and interests is pretty much fine.)
- Enemies. (Anyone who can’t and will get in his grill about it.)
- Past partners. (Any gender.)
- Potential future partners.

Relationships:
- Theodore ‘Teddie’ Boyd (Slam): Former fling.

Mônica “Molly” Oliveira

Details:
- 18, Female, Brazilian
- Hobbies: Video games, tabletop games, miniature collecting and creation, fashion, cosplay, cheerleading.
- School Activities: Cheerleading (spotter).
- Tall and thin, but well-toned. Wild, curly black hair, round brown eyes, and an oval face. Vivid eyeshadows and lip gloss are commonly utilized. Keeps up with the fashions, but incorporates video game shirts and jewellery into her outfits regularly.
- A sociable cheerleader with a massive interest in video games and tabletops, who craves attention but is fine with sharing it as long as she doesn’t feel ignored. Cheerful, friendly, and occasionally competitive. Dislikes drama, and so will tend to sidestep anything relating to it, sometimes at the cost of being noticeably insensitive.

Looking For:
- Friends and Acquaintances.
- Enemies. (Less important and likely not vitriolic on her side, but perhaps any exes or other people who she’s brushed off in a somewhat insensitive ‘trying to avoid drama’ way.)
- Past partners. (Male only, nothing past kissing, only short relationships.)
- Potential future partners.

Relationships:
- Lúcio Oliveira (VoltTurtle): Fraternal twin brother.
- Ashlee Donovan (Kamikaze): Friends/Fellow Cheerleaders.
- Betty "Ty" Hartley (Kamikaze): Friendly Acquaintances/Fellow Cheerleaders.
- Josiah Flanagan (Sunnybunny): Friendly Acquaintances/Fellow Cheerleaders.
- Stormy Delacroix (backslash): Friendly Acquaintances/Fellow Cheerleaders.
- Danielle Bird (LordofAwesome): Friends/Rivals/Fellow Cheerleaders.
- Teddie Boyd (Slam): Exes. Amiable.
- Salem Fox (Cicada): Exes. Amiable.

Roberta Chen

Details:
- 19, Female, half-Chinese half-Dominican.
- Hobbies: Piano, urban exploration, whittling, woodworking.
- School Activities: None. Was a keyboardist for a punk rock band called Bent in freshman year, but that dissolved by sophomore year.
- Short and pear-shaped. Short, shaggy hair, freckly, light brown skin, a cute face contrasted with a scowl and multiple scars on her hands. Has a limp that is more obvious if she has to run. Usually wears long-sleeved shirts that are either plaid or have floral prints, jeans, heavy boots, and a black puffer vest with a hood in cold weather. Also has a pink crocheted headband she wears when she needs hair out of her eyes.
- A half-reformed delinquent struggling with anger problems and focusing, who moved to Salem in freshman year to live with her uncle, after an incident that resulted in her falling off a roof while trespassing. Tends to put on a wannabe tough vibe despite her small size, though is otherwise a somewhat melancholy girl whose belief in being able to make something of herself is shaky (but getting better).

Looking For:
- Friends and Acquaintances. (Not many, as she’s rather abrasive at first contact.)
- Enemies.
- Potential future partners. (Girls only.)

Relationships:
- Michael Eastman (Jilly): Step-Cousin.
- Kai Rosado-Prince (backslash): Friends.
- Donatello Fisher (CMRN): Former band-mates, currently don't get along.

Heya! It's been a long time. O:

So I ended up with two cheerleader concepts! I think Ashlee would get along nicely with Molly. She's a fashionable, popular cheerleader girl (who just so happens to also be a weeb cosplayer type). I think they could bond over cheerleading and fashion and video games? O:

Ty's a little trickier. She's also popular, but she's more "cheerleading is too a sport, I'll punch you!!!" Kinda fighty (she is the obligatory fighty Ty), kinda hotheaded and impulsive, very much into the athletic aspect of cheerleading. What would Molly's impression of her be?

On that note, Ty and Marshall might have some kind of dynamic as well. They're both athletic bully-hunter types (though Ty is willing to make certain exceptions). Do you think they'd have some sort of respect for each other?

BTW, I set up a thread for discussing cheer stuff. Take a look if you want.

I might come up with more stuff later. Good to see you again!

[ViolentMedic]

KAMIKAZE

I can def see big jamming with Ashlee for Molly. Molly would probably be down for cosplay too if Ashlee needs help to make a cosplay group thing, but def lots of video game geeking. Molly's not so exclusively focused on the more animey-ey games but it's def SOME of the stuff she likes. I vibe good.

Molly would prolly be pretty fine with Ty. Molly's not so intense about cheerleading, she's just having a good time, but she'd be fine with the Commitment Vibe. Unless she's clashed with the friend group, she'd prolly be all good with Ty.

I think Marshall would have a mixed opinion on Ty, because of course he would respect the attempts to stop bullying. But the friends blind spot would then turn him around and make him immediately call her a hypocrite, and set him right the fuck off. I think he'd also get pretty opposed to the more physical attempts to stop it--he's very much more just stand in the way and YELL LOUDLY AND PERSISTENTLY UNTIL IT STOPS. (He's kind of a narc.) If her friends exploit her to get her to bully someone, Marshall would be very likely to get in the way of that. In general, approves of the general idea, has issues with the execution.

Good to see you toooo! x3

[Sunnybunny]

Welcome baaaack, I don't think we ever wrote together but let's change that, shall we?

In regards to Molly: I have a Josiah, punk boy cheerleader who does not care about cheer much but a friend asked so why not? While he looks wild and likes boxing, he's a rather genial sort. He's also one of five fraternal quints because somebody got to do the multis around here.

In regards to Pyne: I have a girl with a moped named Izzy, and she would just Hate if someone spray-painted it, maybe that happened in the relatively recent past? She was incidentally also shipped off by a parent to live her so there's that thematic commonality as well.

[ViolentMedic]

@Sunnybunny

\o/

Molly'd be down with Josiah, fo'sho. Don't think she's the type scared off by a bit of wildness.

Bahahaha that sounds like a fun little thing to do. Maybe a memories thing when that opens to get a Vibe.

[Dogs231]

Roberta:

Roberta and Donovan seem quite similar at a glance. They're both troublemakers with hot tempers and no aspirations for the future. I can see them getting along.

Marshall:

Marshall and Donovan share hobbies with regards to Cross Country and Track. However, Donovan's troublemaker status probably means the two don't get along well.

Corbin and Marshall are both straight-laced guys with interests in bodybuilding and exercise. They've probably met and gotten along well enough.

[ViolentMedic]

I can def see Donovan and Roberta getting along. She might be possible to drag to some parties with his influence, and always good to have some other guy to do dumb shit with.

Regarding Donovan, yeah, he and Marshall almost certainly they wouldn't get along, though kind of a fun competitive rivalry is also an option regarding their similar sporting activities. I think it's likely that Marshall could also be baited into doing dumb shit if he doesn't realise it's happening. As for Corbin and Marshall, they are indeed similar, and would probably make good study-buddies, though since they're both very head-strong I can see them easily coming to arguments, too. I saw in your thing that he has a tendency to overlook the behavior of people he's friendly with, and that would def big-rankle Marshall, who'd rather soon drive off any friends he has than put up with behavior issues. Could see it as being a bit back-and-forth.

Also with Abhi, Fitz would be down for some conspiracy theory discussions. Regardless of whether he agrees or not.

[Cicada]

Writing is a mistake is what it is!!

[+] the thoughts

- While Pyne probably wouldn’t be a fan of Cedar, the whole ‘gravitating towards people in need’ thing combined with Pyne being half-Filipino means there’s there’s a chance maybe Cedar approached her at some point (since Pyne’s kind of an obvious albeit aggressive mess). Pyne wouldn’t gravitate towards the ‘Pinoy Platoon’ as a whole (she doesn’t feel much of a connect with her lineage) but there’s probably acknowledgement over its existence.
- Also Molly is down to tabletop.

Pyne would be one of those cases where Cedar's vibe structurally fails, yeah. They probably spoke once and Cedar quietly shut down half way through the defensive shortness because she sensed Pyne was far beyond her ability to help and it crushed her, etc. Pyne probably doesn't have much respect for Cedar thereafter since she's outwardly well-off and well-put together. Maybe someone else from the Platoon can make a more positive impression, but it ain't Cedar. She knows when she's outgunned.

And maybe, r.e Molly and Cedar being in a TTRPG group! But they'd need someone else as the glue there- Cedar probably wouldn't have much interest in cold approaching Molly to recruit her. Cedar keeps a respectful distance from those who look like they have their shit together.

- Although there’s a good chance they haven’t spoken, Fitz both shares a tendency to mostly be only interested in a long conversation if it concerns, say, conspiracy theories or other interests, and… well, conspiracy theories as an interest. If tehy’d ever somehow tapped into the right topics around each other, I’m sure the conversation would have gone from 0 to 110% ridiculously fast.

Callie probably strongly approved of the shoe through the bus window incident and tried to probe him once. Leading to the legendary spiraling conversation of paranoia and bullshit. She might have tried to recruit him for the anti-SOTF brigade (group of outcast-types).

- Marshall shares similar personality quirks regarding being brusque and very focused on getting people to self-improve (while being very blunt about what is good and bad about them). Either they’d get into arguments or they’d just start yelling positivity double as hard. They run in different sports crowds, but he’d be excited to help with raising money for sports.

He seems like the sort she'd 100% approve of. Ash is cognizant and self-conscious enough to tame herself when she's dealing with another Type A so there won't be any conflict and they can work together and accomplish double the try-hard. They might have a study group (with MS's Eugene, among other possibly studious athletes) and I'm sure she appreciates the help from him and he's one of her main contacts/ally in the teams he's a member of.

- Molly would have probably been pretty receptive to the flirting. Definitely casual, though she might have had to be backed off from, but she woulda brushed off the confusion.

They were both in cheerleading at some point, so... maybe they actually dated for a time, as this would be before Ashlyn/Salem became a thing, timeline-wise? If she was receptive enough to buy into it back then, well. He'd actually be available to go for it. If it were to her interest he'd be pretty eager to be a doll for her fashion experiments- maybe some of his current femme accessories are actually gifts from her, from this time period? If she's down for indulging that part of his aesthetic, anyways. Otherwise they were probably a power couple on the J.E.M party circuit for a hot second then they amicably broke up and still regard each other well to this day?

If that checks out then Ash probably harbored some jealousy for Molly for a while when she started dating him. But they were both also in cheer possibly way back, and Ash probably overall likes her. Would have bluntly rejected any attempts to throw gifts her way because Ash ain't about that.

[Slam]

Teddie:
- Not much common ground with Fitz but mutually bisexual implies possibility of having fooled around?
- Probably terrified of Pyne.
- Would probably know Marshall through being the mascot at lacrosse games. Teddie seems like he might piss Marshall off though.
- Would also probs know Molly through being the mascot and hence working with cheerleaders. Would reciprocate non-serious dating.

Spuds:
- Not a fan of Fitz. Laziness is a no-no for her, but overall no real reason why she’d bother with him.
- Probably not terrified of Pyne, but wouldn’t want to get mixed up in that mess. Which is a shame cause they could probably get along if she did.
- Would respect Marshall’s diligence but might not appreciate the lack of tact. Probs chill overall, though.
- Is probably friendly enough with Molly but indifferent overall.

[ViolentMedic]

@Cicada

Former brief couple of Salem and Molly def works for me.

@Slam

Teddie:
- I haven't quite decided how loose Fitz is yet, but it's something to be considered!
- That's fair. Pyne's not approachable.
- I think Marshall would be alright with Teddie. Marshall might take him to task for something like he tends to with, like, everyone--"TEDDIE STOP SLEEPING WITH PEOPLE IT'S IRRESPONSIBLE IT'S THE HORMONES YOU'RE GOING TO GET PEOPLE PREGNANT"--but it wouldn't actually annoy him on a deep level, he just says what he thinks. Also Marshall is Also Extensively Over-Enthusiastic, so at the very least they won't run out of energy.
- Absolutely, regarding Molly. A fling/buddying both good. :3

Spuds:
- So overall indifference for most of the crew from her xD But different flavours of it!

[Deamon]

Pyne and Aracelis could be exploring buddies perhaps? As both enjoy going to abandoned places and taking a look around.

Molly would also know Aracelis this time through the cheerleading team and they could be friends but Molly's weird like money bragging could sometimes be awkward for their relationship.

Molly and Robbie could also be friends both through Robbie attending a lot of sportsball games and having a shared interest in tabletop.

[ViolentMedic]

Pyne and Aracelis is possible as exploring buddies, maybe they bumped into each other once while doing so and were like 'whattup.'

I'm down with both the Molly-and-Aracelis thing and the Molly-and-Robbie thing, and with Molly and Robbie MMORPG hanging is also on the table, Molly loves those.

[Deamon]

Pyne and Aracelis is possible as exploring buddies, maybe they bumped into each other once while doing so and were like 'whattup.'

Yeah, yeah, that sounds good

[ViolentMedic]

Just noting that this thread has been updated (though it's still being put back together a bit) with updated kid info, now that all four of my kids at least have profiles (Even if Molly is going through the approval and Roberta hasn't been submitted/will probably have to go through some changes.) As a side note, Molly's name has been changed from Molly Ramirez to Mônica “Molly” Oliveira, and Roberta's been changed from Roberta Pyne to Roberta Chen (and now uses her first name). Roberta also shifted from less of an actual scary person to just a bad-tempered tiny person who doesn't have the presence to actually be intimidating, and she's changed around enough that likely all her prior relationship ponders need tweaking or are completely nulled. xD
