My characters

I imagine Heather and Buster having an adversarial relationship. He is a shill for the state and a proud one. IRL he is persistently open to "friendly debate" and won't get heated but if she's politically active on social media he might do some anonymous trolling.

I don't have any particular ideas for your characters and Mo beyond the obvious, but feel free to tell me if you have any

DId I just completely miss this?? How??
[+] Heather
Heather doesn't necessarily go out of her way to pick poltiical fights, so if Travis tolerates her giving him shit for not taking a stance she'll tolerate it beyond that. She's gonna think less of him but if he isn't actively hostile then it's kinda whatever. Same with the food thing. Basically she's very unapologetically opinionated but if he can put up with that then they can talk music sometimes. Probably ultimately just acquaintances that can share an interest sometimes though.
Oh! Actually! Is he still an EMT? I remember that being kinda in flux since it's a difficult thing to work into a high schooler concept. But If so, or if he's just like, working towards that and a big First Aid Knower and such, I think there's a connection there. I've long assumed (and not written it down oops) that Heather would know some basic first aid and probably pushed hard for courses to be available, especially Stop The Bleed training and such. So there could be a bit of mutual respect going on there, she's got a lot of time for anyone who aspires to go save lives.

Yeah Ezra doesn't give me much for Heather, and that's okay!
[+] Mercy
Travis x Mercy: yeah I figure she's been giving him the stink-eye ever since he said her guitar wasn't all that and he may not even be entirely sure why.

Not 100% sure what you mean with that wording with Vanessa? searching Oh Ezra's dating her? Uh... yeah I guess? Enough in common I could see them getting along.
[+] LK
Love the LK/Travis vibe there, that's cute and gives me a chance to show her doing something nice when she'll mostly be a little bit obnoxious. 10/10 suggestion thank you.

Yeah Ezra doesn't give me much for Heather LK, and that's okay!
[+] Hope
Yeah Ezra doesn't give me much for Heather LK Hope, and that's okay! Could do an interesting little heart-to-heart on-island some time, but I don't see much bringing them together for it in pregame.

And yeah, I like Hope and Ezra bonding over ball. Don't worry, I'm pretty illiterate at it too, been to three games so far trying to fix that and still no luck! Since time of writing Hope's also been added to the soccer team so maybe a little competitiveness in common, but since it's at different sports they can help build each other up rather than be in direct competition?

100% signed off on Heather and Buster hating each others' guts, they stand for pretty much diametrically opposite things and boy are they both emphatic about it. At least he's a Democrat, otherwise they'd probably need to be kept apart to avoid violence. I was gonna come to your thread with this but I was still pondering ideas for the other two, and I still am! But I digress. As for the online thing, she does have an online persona for her solo music work, could be an angle for trolling because it is very explicitly political. She's a punk and her music has an ideological message.

As for your other two, while I'm here...
I'm down for any of my not-Heather three to be part of the Penny's Old Friends thing, Hope may be the best fit as she's already got that going on with Taylor Olson-Chen, just expands the vibes. Mercy having blossomed into who she is now could also work as an inversion if we say she was actually brought out of her shell a bit by Penny back in the days? Knowing LK really well before she transitioned could also be a fun source of characterisation? Any of those, probably not all of them though!

And for Mo...
Heather has no time for him based on his personality and what you've got down for his relationship with Ash Green. "Just doing whatever you want isn't rebellion, shithead" says she.
Genuinely can't decide if Mercy would've rejected him or not, would have to see him in action, but I do think she'd find him charming in a goofy sort of way. Could be friends, but he probably hates her taste in music, which is important to her, so... uncertain here. Open to further discussion.
Doubt he'd pursue Hope, she's not exactly traditionally attractive with no tits and no hands.
LK's a fun one. She certainly tries to attain contemporary beauty standards, specifically aping the e-girl vibe, but she's also trans and doesn't have much of a feminine figure as yet no matter how well she can accentuate what she does have with clothing and makeup choices. Plus... y'know, womanisers not typically known for going for girldick. All that said, if he would consider her, she's rejected him since she is very gay. Could be friends though since he's a funny guy and would probably be a good time to be around!
