Survival Of The Fittest

Hi. Here are some concepts. I'll expand more on these and maybe add some at some point, but we shall c.

[+] Jennifer Harmon

Hobbies and Interests: Babysitting, dating, driving, volleyball, yoga

[+] Appearance

Appearance: At 5’7” and 130 lbs, Jennifer cuts a slender figure. She has a slight-hourglass shaped figure, with graceful curves. She is toned, due to her volleyball and yoga practice. Caucasian, she has naturally pale skin that is generally lightly tanned at all times of the year, thanks to regular sessions in the tanning booth and a conscientious approach to sun exposure. Her face is diamond-shaped and lean, with high cheekbones and somewhat severe features. Jennifer’s lips are thin, and she has a smattering of freckles across the bridge of her similarly fine nose. Her eyes are a muddy brown, and deep-set. On the whole, her features are conventionally attractive, if unremarkable.

Jen has slightly wavy dark brown hair that falls to her mid-back if worn loose. Typically, she wears her hair in a ponytail due to her active lifestyle, preferring to keep her hair out of her face. Her makeup and skincare regimen is more high-maintenance: although she does not go for ostentatious looks, Jennifer puts a fair degree of effort into flattering her features with natural-looking, understated palettes, typically wearing foundation, mascara, and a subtle lip gloss on any given day. Her ears are pierced, and she usually wears plain studs.

In terms of her clothing, Jennifer dresses simply, working to strike a balance between practicality and flattering her figure. She is fond of pairing t-shirts and blouses with denim shorts and jeans, eschewing dresses and skirts when she can. She trends towards plain colors, favoring whites, blacks, pale blues and greens.

On the day of the abduction, Jen was wearing a tight plain white t-shirt tucked into light blue Daisy Duke shorts, as well as a pair of pink-and-white Stan Smith sneakers. Her hair was tied up into her usual ponytail with a plain black hair tie, and she had another hair tie on her wrist. She had her usual white studs in as well.

Jennifer has an even-toned voice that is average-to-low in pitch for a girl her age, with a slight natural rasp. She rarely raises her voice, and refrains from using profanity casually, a habit she’s gotten used to due to constantly being around small children.

[+] Short Bio

Born the second of three kids to a raucous middle-class Irish-American family (father an HVAC tech, mother a public school elementary school teacher), Jen has grown up her entire life puttering around in the background. She'd prefer to keep it that way. While her older brother (David, 23, now an electrician) and younger brother (Brendan, 16, a junior at Red Rock) have generally been lighting figurative fires all around the Harmon household, she's been something of a latch-key child, trusted to keep herself out of trouble.

Decently smart and reserved, Jen never wanted for friends but didn't seek them out actively either, content to go with the flow and join in when prompted. This led to her starting to play volleyball in middle school, something she still continues with at Red Rock. She's a setter for the team, avoiding any sort of leadership position but keen to provide strategic insights. The volleyball team comprises most of Jen's friend group, and the people she'll most often let her guard around. Jennifer started babysitting in 8th grade and continues to do so, preferring to work with early elementary schoolers.

Otherwise, Jennifer is something of a floater. She's not unpopular but prefers keeping to herself, often coming across as aloof to those she doesn't know well. She also enjoys dating, though her relationships tend to be short-lived. She's garnered a reputation for being a serial monogamist, but also for being a low-maintenance girlfriend. She enjoys the easy companionship and the physical intimacy, and generally goes for a wide swath of guys as long as she's sure they're not clingy and that she finds them attractive. Jennifer finds solace in yoga, which she took up after a volleyball injury, and often spends time driving alone, enjoying the desert scenery. She'll occasionally invite a good friend or her current boyfriend to join, but she's happiest when it's just her and the open road.

At home, Jennifer's relationship with her parents is pleasant but distant. She's closest to Brendan, whom she enjoys teasing at school. Academically, she maintains solid A and B+ grades. After graduation, Jennifer plans to attend UC Irvine to study Economics, with aspirations of entering consulting or investment banking to make a substantial income.

also her nickname on the team is "Harmin' Harmon". maybe.

[+] Relationships

Volleyball girls: These comprise most of Jen's friends!
Boyfriends/exes: Girl has many. She makes it a point to try to keep things amicable, but we can definitely discuss this further. I'm not sure if she'll have a boyfriend at pregame start, but I'm definitely open to it!
Babysitting clients: Jen's been babysitting for quite some time, and has a steady, reliable network she's cultivated through word-of-mouth. If any of your siblings have younger siblings, there's a chance she's babysat them before.
Acquaintances: Most of Jen's relationships would fall here. She's a reliable group rpoject partner, and isn't exactly impolite, but she doesn't go out of her way to socialize with people she doesn't know.
Other ideas: Throw them at me! Yoga acquaintances, other sorts of friendships, enemies, people who kind of judge her, open to hashing things out!

[+] Grant Eastman

Jerk-ish gay jock, taken from the netherrealms of me forgetting to edit his profile during V8 pregame apps. Avid shitposter and memelord. Enjoys using his middling position at Student Council to terrorize others within the bounds of what's acceptable by school regulations.
Hobbies and Interests: Lacrosse, working out, football, baseball, sports analytics, memes, student council (Lacrosse subject to change maybe)
Will add more here, but generally just use the link in my sig for now? Will likely change Grant's sport of choice to suit the locale, which may mean actually making him a baseball player. Or sticking with lacrosse, not sure. Probably depends onwhat sport becomes popular. Thinking I'll have him be out and relatively proud since beginning of junior year.

[+] Appearance

At 6’2 and 205lbs, Grant is an imposing figure. Thanks to a rigorous workout regimen as well as lacrosse practice, he has an athletic and muscular build that trends towards stocky. He has a broad and well-developed chest and shoulders and his legs are muscular as well, if not to the same extent as his upper body. Facially, he possesses angular features, including a long Roman nose and a strong jawline. Due to a collision during practice in sophomore year, his nose is slightly crooked. His eyebrows are of average thickness, although they have a natural downward slant to them. Grant also has deep-set dark green eyes. His mouth is relatively wide, and his smile often looks like a sneer. Caucasian and of Irish-American descent, Grant’s skin is pale, tanning only slightly during the summer months.

In terms of his hair, Grant tends to keep his dark brown hair cropped quite short. When he feels like making an effort, he uses gel to make it spikier looking. He keeps his face clean-shaven for convenience, and also because he has noticed the men in his family tend to grow facial hair patchily if at all. His skin is relatively clean, although he will have occasional bouts of acne. This is more due to Grant avoiding oily foods out of concern for his health rather than any particular skincare regimen.

Clothing-wise, Grant puts a lot of effort into looking like he didn’t put in a lot of effort, with him typically wearing a form-fitting t-shirt, jeans, and sneakers, although he’ll often wear a button-down or his letterman jacket over. He’ll occasionally wear boots if he feels the situation calls for them. In terms of accessories, he is never not wearing his Apple Watch, and often wears cloth bracelets.

On the day of the abduction, Grant was wearing a slate blue button-up puffer vest over an army green hooded flannel shirt jacket, blue jeans, and brown Timberland Originals boots. He was wearing a black Henley as an undershirt. Grant was also wearing an Apple Watch on his right wrist and some cloth bracelets on his left. He is left-handed.

[+] Relationships

Sports and gym buds: Most of Grant's friends definitely come from his sports team, his sporting interests, or from being gym bros.
Student Council people: Cannot imagine Grant getting along with most of the other folks on Council, but maybe you all have some trashbags he can run roughshod over people with.
Boyfriends?: For being an ass in many respects, Grant's kind of a simp relationship-wise, probably because he's lowkey an emotionally stunted fuckwad. He might have a boyfriend at the start of pregame, but either way, he's like very much a relationships guy. Except when he's rebounding after a bad breakup. Then he goes wild.
Enemies: Many. While he's not an explicit bully, Grant's just not fun to be around if he doesn't like you. These even goes for teammates who aren't fond of his leadership abilities.

[+] Rasheeda Carter

Hobbies and Interests: Journalism, television, trashy romance novels, window shopping

[+] Appearance

Standing at 5'6 and 115lbs, Rasheeda is quite skinny. She is a Black teenager with a tube-shaped figure, lacking much in the way of curves. Her hair is black with red highlights and chemically relaxed. Falling to her upper-back when worn loose, she usually pins it back with brightly-colored barrettes. Her face is unremarkable, with thick lips, a wide nose, and braces. She constantly has eye-bags under her face. Off-the-shoulder tees and tight jeans paired with boots make up most of her wardrobe. She has a love of leopard-print.

[+] Short Bio

The daughter of a working-class former cocktail waitress turned freelance writer raised in Henderson, Rasheeda has had to grow up far earlier than many of her peers. She’s helped raise her two younger siblings along with balancing her work for the school newspaper and her part-time job at a local sushi restaurant. This is more to prove that she still can, ever since her mother won the lottery in 7th grade and relocated them to Las Vegas, but she tries not to forget her roots.

Frosty but good-humored, Rasheeda's perpetual tiredness and consternation with the people that make up most of Red Rock's student body is balanced out by the fact that she generally takes things in stride. She’s not about bullshit, or stress. Besides what she already has on her plate.

[+] Relationships

will fill in at some point!

Jennifer

Wade Colter has a younger sister who’d be young enough to babysit around when Jen was babysitting. I don’t really have much else for them. Maybe they dated for like five seconds?

Londyn Mackred is a known public nuisance who has probably shoved a camera in Jennifer’s face for one of their ‘prank’ videos. Almost certainly nothing positive here.

Alec Yves has definitely tried to get a date with her based on purely on her ‘serial monogamist’ reputation, and that was probably a fact he let slip at one point while talking to her, which I don’t figure would end well for him.

Grant

Wade’s probably seen him at the gym and has probably at least talked to him a few times. Depending on how openly unpleasant Grant is, Wade would be disinclined to deal with him. Also, depending on backstory and all that, what if Grant bullied Wade when they were younger and Wade was a chubby weirdo?

Londyn probably has the same deal as with Jennifer, though Grant feels like the kind of guy to deck them for pushing his buttons.

Alec is an archetypical scrawny wimp. While Grant isn’t an explicit bully, their probably isn’t much love lost between the two. Alec also probably compares himself negatively to Grant on account of him being a big beefy boy.

Rasheeda

Not a lot of overlap with Wade. Probably barely aware of her.

Londyn tried his usual routine but probably gave up after being shut down.

Alec actually wouldn't try and get a romantic thing going with Rasheeda. He’ll be perfectly friendly with her otherwise, but she reminds him of his older sister too much and he’s not about that life. Plus they don’t have a lot of overlapping interests, so it’s unlikely they’d evolve past ‘friendly strangers’ anyway.
