Destiny Martinez is the fourth of five grown children and only daughter in a Dominican/Cuban household. She's grown up to consider herself very much "one of the guys" and tends to look down on other girls who are too feminine. She's very mechanically inclined and owns a second-hand motorbike she bought for cheap and then borrowed/pilfered/stole stuff through her dad's mechanic business in order to fix it back up. She's not right-wing, unlike most of her family but she is very "traditional" with how she likes her guys, ie super masculine and not talking about their feelings. Destiny is not afraid to get into a fight, be it a verbal one or a physical altercation, and she's had some trouble with that over the years which she's kept under wraps. She's also the secret keeper to her younger brother - he's gay and he's terrified of anyone in the family finding out.

Aidan Winston is a middle-class lonely only child with not a lot of friends. He is, however, heavily invested in making and consuming art! He's an incredibly experienced painter who's constantly working on something, listening to music, and watching shows, although he does have a guilty pleasure in reality shows, which is slowly transitioning to unironic enjoyment. Aidan also has body image issues due to his weight and sees himself as completely unlovable to any other man who's also interested in men.

Lara Rodriguez is the most annoying overprotective sister you have ever met in your life - her parents are usually extremely busy with their jobs to the point that Lara has had to take up most of the responsibilities around the house, but this has had the unfortuante effect of bleeding into her social life - she has friends, but anyone immediately outside of that circle finds her insufferable to the nth degree due to being not only a busybody, but condescending, accidentally rude, and someone who usually never backs down from any form of confrontation, no matter how major or minor. Despite all this, Lara wants to pursue her passion of becoming a makeup artist, and has a small following on YouTube and a slightly larger one on TikTok which she hopes she can transfer into a career that will make bank.

Peyton Hoffman is basically Ben Shapiro without the muppet voice and if he'd been disciplined and steered in the right direction at some point in his life. Don't get him wrong, he's economically right-wing and refuses to express any opinion on his social stances, but he has a group of close friends around which curb some of his worse tendencies that would pop up were he without them. He runs a black market high school snack operation on his lonesome that specializes in interstate snacks from his parents business travels, but is generally very quick to run up tabs for people and generally is pretty patient with asking for money.

Lindsey Sewall is your average happy-go-lucky kind aspiring doctor, talented gymnast, and horror movie enthusiast. She was exposed to several shock sites as a child by asshole classmates playing a joke on her, including clips of actual death and several SOTF clips, which traumatized her at an early age, but through therapy she managed to overcome this and make the conscious decision that, although SOTF has created a lot of evil in the world, she wants to be the counter of good. She does, however, hold an appreciation of gory horror movies, due to the safe knowledge that none of it is real, and an appreciation for practical special effects. Her caring nature also has a habit of people taking advantage of her, via getting her to do things for them, or them assuming that more exists in a relationship than actually does.

Spike Havighurst (RC) - Boyfriend

Luke Travers is someone quick to remind you you're disrespecting a future army soldier. Very patriotic but very intense yet emotionally non-expressive except to select close people, Luke grew up in a fractured extended family that doesn't speak to each other very often, and as such he's been taught a lot about the world by his extremely right-wing dad. Loves guns and sports, hates weak-willed people, sees his body as a temple. Doesn't really see himself as worth a lot individually, more interested in the idea that he would help serve a greater purpose than find his own in life. Really needs someone to talk him out of that last bit for his own safety.

idk exactly what I'm looking for in relationships since v8 will be when I try a much more "post with people instead of planning with them" deal, but if you, dear person/handler/reader, have any ideas that would help your own characters or mine, feel free to comment and I'll sew it into said character like a patchwork quilt

Eric Reid is going to be one of the few (or possibly even the only) guy that Lindsey cannot stand, due to him creeping on her for the longest time.

Peyton:

I think Abhi and him could probably find many things to disagree and argue about with regards to politics, especially with Abhi's preferred methods of discussing politics being bad-faith arguments and putting words in people's mouths.

Donovan would probably be a regular customer of the snack operation.

Luke:

Luke and Corbin would likely get along well. Corbin plans to enlist in the military if he can't get to West Point, and they both are patriotic and right-wing. As well, they both enjoy sports. The two could probably get along if you feel they would.

So I think it could potentially be fun if Lara and California did not get on because it looks like their personalities would clash.

Lindsey may know Aracelis through gymnastics if they go to the same club.

Darryl would make fun of Luke all the time.

[Dr Adjective]

Hello! I have ideas and they're probably easier to group by my two kids this time around, here they go;

Evie possibly has some solidarity going on with Destiny, but equally Destiny might find her a bit too girly in manner despite her androgynous appearance and boyish interests? Depending on how things shake out with Evie also being a "one of the guys" type, maybe they'll end up with connections or a group in common anyway? Who knows.
She probably doesn't have much going on with Peyton unless he has a line on hard-to-find vegan snacks? Or maybe he just thinks less of her for asking.
As for Lindsey and Aidan, probably likes but doesn't really know - and Lara and Luke, doesn't really care for but also has little connection. Not really much to go on there.

Bethany on the other hand sounds like she'd get on with Peyton and Luke like a house on fire. Finally some upstanding gentlemen that haven't fallen for the lib propaganda, and both ones she wouldn't be embarassed to show to her parents some day? Maybe.
The others she wouldn't much acknowledge, though I don't think Destiny would be a fan or her, Lara has probably annoyed her on one or more occasions, and she's probably taken advantage of Lindsey's generosity at least once.

Matthew and Luke might get along well; they're both pretty patriotic, right wing and I'm guessing that they'd both have plans to join the military after school.
