general emotional vibes even though the Vegas our school is in is technically a different municipality than the one that this song is about
Currently, I have THREE characters planned.
- [+] Stella Nyquist
- Stella Nyquist -- Each member of the goth gaggle - Astrid, Greg, etc - abstractly correlate to individual periods of time in my childhood/early adulthood that, while I wouldn't realize it while living them, would eventually become formative experiences for me as a person. Stella's the summers of '09-10.
Information
- Scientifically proven (by the very trustworthy idrlabs.com) to be the worst person in the goth gaggle. But this time there's no goth gaggle, just her. As a result she is a slightly different character than the other Goth Gaggle Sarah-oids
- Is a goth, but like, she's classy about it. Classy enough about it that she's always been more of a prep than a goth, socially speaking. She can't help being a social climber.
- Upper-upper-middle class
- Mom's on the HOA. Dad works in tech and watches documentaries about cars and dad music and stuff
- Is popular. Actually gets invited to parties etc.
- Cheerleader!
- If you're unironically edgy in a way where it seems like you're actually buying into yourself, she will act with 0 warmth whatsoever to you while still politely maintaining plausible deniability, at least until you fuck off and leave her alone. She ain't your therapist. She does not want to be associated with you in the slightest. Same deal if you're weird. Or if you're cringe. Or if you're gross. Or if you're an asshole.
- Used to get bad grades. Organized a study group with other fairly popular people. Now gets good grades.
- Is bi, because she is a character written by me. Is closeted and has only ever dated guys as of pregame start, because she finds nearly everyone she associates with the GSA who isn't in a relationship to be deeply irritating on some level. Also finds most men's personalities deeply annoying, but they're a more normal look to her (and it makes her feel special if they're on a sports team (assuming it's a sport that matters))
- Only child
- Will absolutely shittalk you, but only with people she knows won't tell you.
- Has mastered the art of politely undermining the self-confidence of people who never realize she hates them whenever she's forced to interact with them. Is generally pleasant otherwise.
- Is aware enough of her flaws to hide them around the people who actually matter.
- "Apolitical"
- Plans on majoring in something like idk communications or something just to get her degree out of the way. Is generally expecting to be one of those people whose parents give them enough money to cover pretty much any living expenses.
- is like 5'2''. Will bite your knees.
Looking for:
- Fellow rich kids with clout
- STUDY BUDDIES!!!
- Cheer team!
- Cool sports man boyfriend who she pretends to like but on the inside mostly just sort of tolerates!
- Exes, amicable or not
- Fellow millers of the hot goss mill
- Friendly acquaintances
- People who she doesn't want to be around.
- i mean ill take any ideas not included in the above. worst case scenario, it's not like im gonna say no to her being aware of your kid existing
- [+] Jared van Sickle
- Jared van Sickle - Well well well...... have I got news for you, Sunny from 4 years ago.....
There will be no survivors.
Information:
- uh oh, not another rich white SOTF twink!
- Parents divorced. Dad was in the casino business. Mom got a lot of money in the divorce. Jared lives with her. He's an only child.
- Upper-class. Feels shame whenever he has to flaunt it. Still is often obligated to flaunt it for social reasons.
- Loner, but not, like, the psychopath kind. Just doesn't talk much unless he's comfortable. Others describe him as sweet and softspoken and polite.
- Most of his childhood friends were girls or effeminate boys (i'm talking boys who were already listening to gay pop at 9 years old (i know they're out there because i was friends with one)). Wasn't bullied by the Manly Men, but there was a sort of... mutual apathy there.
- In a looooowkey (highkey) dysfunctional relationship with [untitled mara project]
- In general, his day-to-day physical appearance could be described as "finely arranged".
- Will reflexively gag at certain scents, which i am not telling you because they are secret.
- Germaphobe.
- Does not like the physical sensation of touching things.
- Is good at psychology. Says he's going to study psychology in uni. Does not actually want to study psychology. Doesn't know what he actually wants to study.
- Defaults to appeasement in fight-or-flight scenarios.
- Everything public facing is, of course, an obsessively-maintained and constructed facade fueled by pure unadulterated anxiety and guilt and self-loathing and all those gooey things.
Looking for:
- Rich people from the rich people neighbourhood
- Childhood friends
- Casual acquaintances
- i mean, anything really.
- [+] Johnny Fightmaster
- Johnny "Methanol Poisoning" Fightmaster - Uh oh! It's the obligatory Kermit-is-secretly-channeling-Portlandia-and-writing-something-about-the-culture-industry character!
This time, we're talking the ciiiiiiiiiiiiiircle of counterculture.
Information:
- The bassist of the "avant-garde noisegrind" black metal band Crackhead Psychopath. Joined the band as a way to rebel against his parents. Mostly got the gig because his name is literally John Fightmaster. Generally checked out of the band's politics. Plans on using it as a launchpad into projects that are more mainstream.
- Mormon who drinks coffee and listens to Trey Parker and Matt Stone's The Book of Mormon.
- Middle-class.
- Outspoken as a democrat until he found out what tax bracket he was in.
- Has severe ADHD.
- Punk but only within reason. Won't nark on you but also won't assist in any crime greater than trespassing. Loves trespassing.
- Known to go on impromptu joyrides as a "prank".
- Unironically listens to Las Vegas hometown heroes Imagine Dragons. Keeps this a secret from his friends.
- Fan of Elon Musk and H3H3.
- Probably needs to apologize to women.
- Casual homophobe as well. Claims to be doing so ironically.
- Despite everything, still plans on attending Brigham Young University.
Looking for:
- Fellow Mormons.
- If you know about Crackhead Psychopath, you probably at least know of him.
- Car guys
- Punk-adjacent people. I know we've got a lot of 'em.
- Maybe an ex-girlfriend????
