MAKING THE CHOICE TO BEGIN ENSURES THAT THERE WILL BE AN END
Posted: Tue Jan 05, 2021 10:41 am
Hello everyone.
I have three children upcoming for V8.
Perhaps you would like to meet them.
My first child's name is Katelyn "Kitty" Graves. Kitty has a reputation for being the "weird, creepy girl that dresses like a cat", with many of her peers being put-off by her visible scars, melancholic behavior, morbid interests, and mental instability (something that is well known around the school due to two suicide attempts that landed her in the hospital), but those who have gotten to know her on a deeper level generally have nothing but nice things to say about her.
Kitty doesn't have a large number of friends, because she is a highly introverted individual, mostly keeping to herself whenever possible. This is due to a combination of extreme social anxiety and a general preference towards more isolated activities. She does, however, want friends quite a lot, but has trouble with confidence in social interactions. She is difficult to approach, because she tries to avoid letting new people get close to her, but those who manage to pierce the veil of defensiveness and avoidance that she maintains as a form of self-protection will quickly find a deeply passionate and kindhearted individual, even if she is somewhat rough around the edges with her numerous mental health problems.
Her primary hobbies are drawing and writing, though she also sews, hikes, and hunts. Her interests are generally somewhat morbid and dark, and her writing and drawing often reflects this. Something she also occasionally does, but is loathe to tell anyone else about out of embarrassment, is watching footage of Survival of the Fittest. This is not so much due to enjoying the violence (quite the contrary), so much as sating morbid curiosities and fascinations that she finds too difficult to ignore.
She needs some friends that she will be very close to, and perhaps some enemies that hate her for being weird. Casual acquaintances aren't in the cards; Kitty only lets some people in, and those that she lets in she gets DEEPLY attached to. I am also interested in her running an in-character D&D game based off of my own tabletop game, Eclipse. Those who play in this game will only be her very closest friends, so this will need to be decided by me based off of interest and her friend pool, though if you think your friend-of-Kitty would be interested in playing in her game, feel free to note that.
Also, she insists her friends call her Kitty and not Katelyn. Please do not forget this. It would make her sad.
My second child's name is Natasha White. Natasha has a reputation for being extremely political and generally somewhat blunt/brash, but her sheer confidence and eloquence is often magnetic for a number of people. She is very openly a communist with an intense, burning hatred of capitalism, and can often be caught quoting Marx, Engels, and Lenin on the regular (and not just the common quotes, either). This is often the defining trait that most people first hear of when learning about Natasha, but she also has a deep love of hip-hop and general athleticism, and is actually highly approachable, intelligent, and polite (so long as the wrong politics don't get brought up).
Natasha has a friend group of nebulous size. She is passionate and personable enough to potentially have quite a few friends, even those who are politically neutral or politically apathetic. She is also stubborn and aggressive enough to earn herself many enemies, especially those that are political rivals. Her closest friends are those who are sympathetic to her politics, and she actually has a group (which she has named "The Vanguard") where she collects fellow leftists and leftist-sympathetic individuals to draw them further left and occasionally do activism (though for the most part they just hang out and shoot the shit).
Her primary hobbies are talking and participating in politics through activism, hip-hop (both listening and to a lesser degree, composing), volleyball, and muay thai. She is quite open about all of her hobbies and interests, with the exception of her apologism towards certain communist regimes.
She requires some friends, varying from casual acquaintances to members of her Vanguard. She also needs some enemies, primarily those libertarians, neoliberals, ancaps, conservatives, and reactionaries of the world (and maybe some leftcoms too, if they're the more prickly types). She is currently single, bisexual, and she's quite muscular. I've heard athletic women are all the rage, nowadays.
My third child's name is LĂșcio Oliveira. I will forgive you if you spell his name without the accent, and so will he, though he might be a little annoyed by it in the same way he'd be annoyed to have a pebble in his shoe. LĂșcio is the most agreeable and likeable of my three children, being a handsome young lad who always goes out of his way to make others smile. He's well regarded by basically everyone due to his easy going nature, overwhelming friendliness, compassion, and quickness to share his large allowance to help those of his friends who need it. There is no difference between the LĂșcio that everyone knows and the LĂșcio that his friends know; he is always genuine and open, and always trying to get you to laugh and love what you can in life.
LĂșcio is more than likely drowning in friends and acquaintances, though he is particularly well-regarded among JEM's outcasts and downtrodden. LĂșcio holds no grudges, and harbors much, much less prejudice than the average teenager (though he still has some, as all humans do), and always seeks to bring those who he thinks could use the help into the fold. Bringing joy and peace to others brings LĂșcio himself joy and emotional fulfillment, and he's always happy to do it. Anyone can be LĂșcio's friend, but he has a special regard for those who join him in his unofficial Body Improvement Club (inspired by his favorite anime, Mob Psycho 100). Said club is provided gym memberships for free by LĂșcio himself, and they meet regularly on the weekends to work out, improve their bodies, and then cruise the town to get food (LĂșcio's treat) afterwards.
His primary hobbies include comedy (because he figures himself to be a wannabe stand-up comic), anime (because he's not-so-secretly a dork), lacrosse (because he likes the physicality), and bodybuilding (because he likes being pretty). Those who share his hobbies are much more likely to be a particularly close friend of his.
He needs some friends. A lot of friends. Some folks in his Club, too. Maybe some enemies, if for some reason your child hates joy, but LĂșcio would at his worst politely tell them they're being rude and subsequently cut off interaction with them, so its likely any rivalry wouldn't last. He also needs a girlfriend or boyfriend, and he's quite the catch in that regard, but if he has a boyfriend, their relationship will need to be kept secret. His parents are quite homophobic, and it makes him sad.
That is all.
Enjoy.
