Noah Brandi Lavender
Appearance: Noah is an exercise in if I can keep writing super pale white kids in the fucking desert Noah is a white boy that stands at a mere 4’8” and weighs in at a slim 84 lbs. His doll-like eyes are a baby blue, and his short, fluffy hair is a platinum blond, almost white. His fashion sense wildly varies. One day he might be glammed out with an Inverness cape over a dress, other days you might see him in a simple tank top and cargo pants.
Personality: Noah deviates from the typical Retro kid “kinda poor but somehow has access to all these wonderful toys” by actually being rich. Like, so rich that the Lavenders help fund Red Rock (not by a lot, but still). As such, Noah’s on good terms with the staff at Red Rock regardless of what he does. He’s pretty easy to get along with, though if he feels that he isn’t being looked after, he’ll deliberately stop cooperating. An introvert through and through, though he understands the importance of socializing with his peers and will try to make the effort. Key word is try. He’s rather judgmental; he’s quick to judge others based on things like appearance. Prick.
Relationships: If there’s a handicrafts club he’s probably a part of that. Also maybe a gardening club of some kind. Non-Binary, he/him preferred but they/them is good too. Seeing as he transitioned rather recently, most students used to use she/her pronouns for him and called him Charlotte. Up to you if they still do.- Friends: Noah gravitates towards people who are sweet and make up for his lack of outgoingness. Helps if they have a passion for fashion. Don’t expect to hang out regularly, though.
- Sylvie Rattray - "She's got a great sense of style, and not having to strain my neck to look at her is a bonus. More than that, though...I admire her. She's got a spring to her step that I wish I had."
- Acquaintances: Noah’s familiar with his fellow rich students due to his parents' socializing lifestyle. There’s also just kids he’s talked to once or twice.
- Enemies: If Noah feels someone’s been wasting his time then they’ve likely earned his ire. If they’ve known each other for a bit then he’ll regard them as a mild annoyance, if they’ve known each other since they were kids then he wants nothing to do with you.
- Céline Sharpe - "I don't know how I can make this any more clear. You're wasting my time."

Connor Loveless
Appearance: Connor is of mixed race; his mother is Arab, while his father is half-white, half-Arab. He stands at 5’11” and weighs in at 169 lbs. His eyes are a chocolate brown in color, while his short, wavy hair is naturally a deep brown, though due to a failed attempt at bleaching it, it’s now a dull gray. He dresses just a touch too formally for a high school student; vests over dress shirts on cooler days, polo shirts on warmer days, dress pants and shoes for as long as he can get away with it.
Personality: The Loveless’ are also obnoxiously rich. Though unlike the Lavenders they did not donate to Red Rock. The Loveless’ are like the descendants of watchmakers or something. Old money. Mr. Funny Jokes, Connor has this air of nonchalance about him. Despite this, he’s really good at reading people. These two traits make him the go-to guy for advice on how to deal with fellow students. Helps that he’s easy to approach and happy to cooperate. In general he’s an easy guy to deal with. That said, he can be pretty negative at times. You also don’t want to ask for his honest opinion on something, as the moment you say you want him to be “honest” he’ll be really harsh.
Relationships: Likely on the student council. Cis male, he/him.- Friends: Connor’s all about doing favors. You scratch his back and he’ll scratch yours and all that. If he’s done something nice for someone and they in return have done something nice for him, then he’ll likely get along with them well.
- Raya Loux - "Raya's good people! We've worked out a deal where she'll service my ride when it needs to in exchange for some honest advice on how to deal with some of the other kids."
- Acquaintances: Sometimes Connor just doesn’t know how to connect to a classmate. He’s still fine chatting with them, though the relationship likely won’t advance beyond that.
- Manuel "Mañana" Hernández - "Huh, not sure what's up with this guy. Always acts kinda weird around me. Dunno if I said something or what."
- Enemies: Connor doesn’t take betrayal very well. If he was friends with someone and they had a falling out, then he’ll likely view them with disgust. And anger.

Rhys Valentine
Appearance: Rhys is a white boy, standing at 5’10” and weighing in at 162 lbs. His eyes are a coppery brown, while his fluffy hair is either a black or dark brown color, depending on lighting and setting. Whatever he’s wearing, expect there to be a lot of sparkles. Anything that glitters and shines, he’s likely incorporated into his wardrobe. Expect button-up shirts with star patterns that sparkle in the light. He also has his ears pierced, so expect to see some earrings (also sparkly).
Personality: In contrast to his outlandish wardrobe, Rhys is on the quiet side, though friendly and easy to get along with. He goes along with what others say and does what he’s told. He knows when to stick to his own guns, though, if only because he prioritizes harmony above all else. Even blind obedience can cause friction. He has an anxiety disorder, and will occasionally behave in a nervous, jittery manner.
Relationships: Also likely on the student council. If not then an art club of some kind. Cis male, he/him.- Friends: Being the oldest of three, Rhys is looked upon to be kind and dependable towards his siblings. As such, he greatly appreciates those who are in turn kind and dependable. He’s also rather forgiving; if he disliked someone in the past, as long as they’ve turned themselves around then he’s happy to befriend them.
- Raya Loux - "Being honest, I didn't think people like her existed. Someone that kind, that smart, that reliable...I thought someone like her was a fairytale, something to be cruelly taken away from me. I'm glad she's my friend."
- Acquaintances: There are some students Rhys would like to hang out with, but just never got the chance. Also, while it’s not an outright dislike, he’s wary of those who have shown to be observant.
- Enemies: Rhys, ironically enough, doesn’t really get along with those he feels are too similar to him. Especially if he saw you as mature; mature people aren’t nervous wrecks!
