For Beau: I'd like to put him down as an enemy. Now, he doesn't hate her, more than try to make friends with her. Unfortunately, his cheery and happy-go-lucky attitude will annoy Beelzebub to a high degree.

For Storm: He seems bland as a character right now, but what if he and Beelzebub were old friends? They understood each other fully in the past, but as they near the end of high school, Storm's outlook changes, and then stops hanging out with her completely. This might turn them into enemies because when Beelzebub wants to fight, he'll give her one.

For Inessa: Pure, innocent, sweet, kind, and happy. Nothing else than the embodiment of what Beelzebub hates. And all the more reason for Inessa to be a bully victim! And btw, her last name is Hymen; work with that in any way you want.
Hello, it's me again! This time I have another child named Marino! I feel like he can work as both a hook-up and a friend. He was looking for a few people to hang around with who fit his preferences until he stumbled against Beelzebub's gang! The two talked until they got along with each other. Long story short, he didn't feel committed to Beel, but they do remain friends. He also has free weed!

Yo, me again

I suspect Johnny will have hit on Beel at some point or another, though how receptive she'd be to his advances is up to you.

I also imagine Florida's a prime target for bullying, given her overall meekness and submission to authority figures. She's also the type who would report on Beel if that happened, likely making things even worse for her...
Coming soon to a V9 near you
Marcia "Marcy" Valerio: The Dancer
Koa Tagaloa: The Wrestler
Johnny Benowitz: The Jock
Florida Riley: The Saint

[+] V8
Cassie Chao: The Wallflower Thank you... For talking to me, when nobody else even knew I was there.
Shawn Bellamy: The Bastard "We're the only decent people left on this island, Matt. Way I see it, as long as one of us survives this... I'd say that's a win, wouldn't you?""
Lillian "Lily" Larsen: The Satanist "Don't think explanations will be necessary. Neither of us are exactly innocent anymore."
Mitch McDuffy: The Gamer Jobtown. Baby.
[+] V5
Brian Zhdanovich "Just... Just stay safe Ruby. Don't take any unnecessary risks, or accept candy from strangers. But most of all, don't you ever..."
Ruby Forrester "Do you seriously think you're the only person on this island whose had a shitty week?"
Jenna Rhodes"Of course, assuming that all goes as planned, we'd have to do something about the whole 24-hours-no-kill limit. Maybe draw straws, or take a vote, something along those lines... Either way, the longer we put this off, the more likely it is that we'll all get rescued and taken away from this hellhole."
[+] V4
Marty J. Lovett ""Well... Here we are buddy. To be totally honest with you, I didn't think either of us would make it this far. Who'd of thought, huh? I was SURE that I'd be dead within the first couple of days."
Joshua Krakowsk "...I'm tellin' you Marty, somewhere out there is a picture of Danya and George Bush on a boat with the biggest damn catfish you've EVER seen!"
Maxwell Lombardi "Now then, I'm afraid I must bid you all adieu. I look forward to meeting the rest of your children, siblings, lovers, friends and what not. And I'm sure they're looking forward to meeting me as well..."

Sorry for the delay! These last few weeks have taken a lot out of me and I needed some time to recover.

Beelzebub isn't really into jocks, so she wouldn't actually do anything with Johnny, but she might escalate the flirtations just to see how far he would go. If he's the type to get upset at girls for "leading him on" then that could cause some problems!

And, yeah, Beel would hate Florida, with that hate escalating should she actually be reported. She better be prepared for a bad time!

Howdy, it's me Magnum. I've come to give you a unique and interesting take on the type of relationship that Beelzebub and Claude could have with each other- here it is;

At first, I imagine Beelzebub being a bully/enemy to Claude, regardless of the fact that he's a jock, mainly due to the fact that she might've seem him as a spineless stick-in-the-mud due to how much of gentle giant he is and who never picks fights with anyone and only ever tries to befriend people. Her bullying him in the effort to have him fight back would actually not work at all for a really long time due to just how much and how strong his patience truly is....

But one day... while she was bullying him, she finally said enough terrible things to him to nearly push him over the edge, but when she said something that was an insult that centered around grandparents... that was enough to finally push him past his breaking point. So, while Beel did finally get him to fight back and stop being spineless, her bullying worked a bit too well since Claude fought back a bit too hard and too violently- resulting in her getting a broken nose and shattered jaw from his punches because of it.

After that, I can see Beelzebub begin to view him as someone she shouldn't mess with by trying to test his patience and gentility/kindness and as someone who she can sort of respect despite the fact that Claude was back to being a gentle giant who got along and became friends with everyone.

Again, this is my two cents on how things would be between them, but I'm always open to suggestions. So feel free to tell me what you think would work best!

(Also, just to clear up any confusion, she didn't directly insult his grandparents, she just said an insult that was generally aimed towards grandparents.)

Hate to shoot you down like this but I don't think she'd find Claude to be someone worth bullying. She's not about to pick on anyone that could actually kick the shit out of her, because even if they're gentle and spineless and she might not like them, they could defend themselves if they needed to. She wants to inspire the chihuahuas of the world to rip apart ankles instead of being kicked around, not try to get the well-behaved rottweilers to bite her face off. She was once one of those chihuahuas herself, after all...

As for how she WOULD interact with Claude, I think she would rather take the role of the temptress. She'd be weirdly nice to him despite how rough-around the edges she is normally, especially to people who don't live deliciously (who I imagine Claude is). People tend to respond positively to those that they expect to be mean to them, but then are nice to them anyway. She'd use that to worm her way into his heart, and act as a bad influence, most likely trying to get him to commit petty crimes and try drugs. Live a little, you know, stick it to the man.

Hope that clarifies things.

Oooohh you know what? Your idea actually sounds much better than mine! Thanks for clarifying things and for also giving me a good laugh with the "well-behaved Rottweilers" part, I can't even begin to imagine how well that works for Claude lol

I'll go ahead and add Beel as a friend in relations if you don't mind.

My characters

Hello hello Turtle. I can picture all of my kids being involved with Beelzebub in different manners.

Mo would really vibe with her. A rebellious party girl who goes "fuck you" to organized religion? Hell yeah. They could have a history of hooking up. Though Mo Isn't really a crime-doer himself, he's a rebel for the vibes only. He's a little scared of her. Just a little bit. Not that he'd ever admit it.

Buster, on the other hand, very much does not approve of anarchy or hooliganity or really anything Beelzebub likes. He won't back down from debating her beliefs and reprimanding her for her behavior. Until she gets aggressive, then he will run.

Penny's right here and ready to get bullied. She's quiet, keep, and she won't ever ever ever ever ever fight back. She'll just shut down until the bullying is over.

Yes yes, hello Poly. Sorry for the late reply!

Sounds good with Mo, "Egyptian Johnny Bravo" does sound like someone she'd hook up with, and she'd be totally fine with the lack of commitment. She'd probably appreciate him at least being a rebel for the vibes, even if he's not committed like she is. Him being just a little scared of her would also be a plus. ;)

Beel would deeeefinitely despise Buster on a personal level, but probably also have a degree of respect for him, for having the spine to stand up to her. Though, after a few instances of him booking it away from her, she'd probably just find him annoying (like a pest). She'd definitely play up her aggressive tendencies around him to spook him, were she not in the mood for a "fun" argument.

Sounds good for Penny. Beel would probably hate her guts for being way too close to Beel's younger self, and consider it a challenge to get her to speak or do SOMETHING (literally ANYTHING) to defend herself.

Here's my relationship charts:

Lindsay would get bullied very much for reporting Beelzebub because Lindsay just want to make peace in the school and doesn't want to fight.

Beavis wouldn't only go to her to see if she has some weed. Plus, he's somewhat scared of her behavior. He actually fighted with her once. It didn't end well.

Chiyoko wouldn't get along with her due to her behavior.
New to SOTF. Currently have 3 OCs for V9 Pregame Planning.

A. Love her, B. I think I got a few ideas for my kids' relations with her, starting with


Céline Sharpe
Céline seems to encapsulate a lot of the things Beelzebub hates. She's a complete outcast, but is also, by her standards, totally spineless. Her response to the widespread bullying she receives being complete dissociation in the face of any conflict, she seems a prime target for Beel's own brand of bullying, screaming at her to do something, or something along those lines.

Crap, as it turns out that's my... only idea. I'll, uh, keep you updated if I have any more.
The V9 Children themselves:

The Machininst
[+] Raya Loux
Tall, muscular, attractive mechanic girl. Part of a metalworking club and a confident, protective and and friendly personality.
The Petite - Sylvie Rattray-Aubert
[+] And her cute lil pregame threads
  1. Pregame 0: To see everything
  2. Pregame 1: any color the customer wants as long as its any color the customer wants
  3. Pregame 2: Touch of Crate
The Forlorn
[+] Céline Sharpe
Strange-named and stranged-clothed girl, ostracized and bullied for essentially being an advertising board for her "psychic" mother. As a result is extremely withdrawn.
The Tough Guy - Manuel "Mañana" Hernández
[+] And his pregame threads coming soon I promise
Tall, stocky tough boy, member of the basketball team, nicknamed Mañana by his friends. Kind of a bully jock who treats his close friends with protectiveness and hearty, tough love.
And here's outdated info about them plus where (not all of) their relationships are: viewtopic.php?t=9024

Hi it's me again fffIVE fucking months later as per my promise because I came up with something new

Raya Loux

I've been developing her and she's now much more staunchly protective of her friends, a bunch of whom happen to lie on her victims list. She might be one of the few kids in red rock Raya outwardly loathes specifically due to how she bullies these people, and would go out of her way to confront her in those instances, even though they'd likely otherwise be pretty chill with each other due to surprisingly similar values and her fitting her criteria of confidence, willpower, and "living deliciously" in and of itself.

1. If you truly want peace, then prepare for war. Snitches get stitches!

2. She has weed. No harm no foul for fighting, she would beat his ass but nonetheless respect the attempt.

3. Sounds about right, but I don't think Beel would care about Chiyoko in turn.

Beel would probably respect Raya due to having a spine and living deliciously, enough to try and explain why she does what she does (teach a man to fish, or rather, teach a man to fight...) but I doubt Raya would understand her bizarre logic, especially since Beel wouldn't want to talk about where it comes from. Probably enemies, but reluctantly on Beel's part.

You know we'll have some random island thread where something really interesting happens like we have in every other version on Main so lets just set the stage for it in advance.
[+] .
  • Ray is affiliated with some of the folks Beelzebub thinks are giga-losers like Mortimer. I can't image he especially stands out enough to draw much ire, too NPC to draw Beelzebub's NPC hatred, but she probably at a glance has pegged him as a boring loser. If she tried to bully him it wouldn't seem to outwardly affect him much (though he would internalize her critique of her character many such cases etc) and he'd just dismissively thank her for pushing him around. Sort of intellectually standing his ground but not really. She probably doesn't think highly of him at any rate, but she has bigger fish to fry so he mostly stays off her radar. When she recognizes his face though she probably will break or steal one of his expensive gadgets and he'll learn to not bring his wireless jailbroken whatever around campus.
  • Mona, hm. Would be interesting. She doesn't take shit. Most everyone hates her and rates her character lowly, and for good reason. She's a disaffected and misanthropic girl with a very strong will. Their politics are polar opposites but also Mona doesn't actually care and she just does things to piss people off. Beelzebub might have some respect for it, to be honest. Mona's a horrible person but she's one with her whole chest, etc. Mona in turn respects Beelzebub's radical behavior and bullying tendencies. She appreciates the honesty and the likelihood that Beelzebub is actively setting herself up to die young and pointlessly. The sort of grindset Mona can respect. Mona probably snarks Beelzebub's beliefs to her face in the instance that they ever talk because she's a giga doomer. They don't really have reasons to be enemies but they're also definitely not friends or running in the same crowd. Beelzebub probably punched Mona in the face once on a casual impulse when she was being annoying, and Mona took the broken nose with a thumbs up and a middle finger. I can see something along the lines of some form of respectful dislike and not going out of their way to cause each other problems. If they do run into each other Mona is probably one slip up shy of deadnaming Beelzebub to her face because she gives no fucks.
  • Clarissa in theory is exactly the sort of person who would be a perfect target for Beelzebub's ire. Popular girl who is very obviously a doormat and weak in character. Smacking Clarissa around and telling her to her face that she's a spineless loser wasting her potential or something along those lines, and Clarissa hemming and hawing and reacting in a generally pathetic way. Plus, Clarissa is the sort who tends to have people protecting her, which would probably also annoy Beelzebub when someone isn't fighting their own battles. Beelzebub is probably tired of throwing shit Clarissa's way, because Clarissa is that impossible to change or bring out of her shell. A brick wall she is stubborn enough to keep punching but can't make like, any progress on.

I feel like she would bully my brainrot kid Juanito but Juanito couldn't catch a hint that she wasn't being friendly and that would just frustrate her to no end

Also do you think she would like wrestling or try and sound smart by saying is fake in front of Michael to make him go on another rant about predetermined against fake and why wrestling is just predetermined
