Pregame Character Relations Spectacular
Posted: Tue Jan 05, 2021 11:10 am
A new version is among us, which means that I'm going to reveal one of my characters I'm still working on! I've got one or two others in mind, but I'll only add them if I think I'm up for it. Like last time, post your thoughts and I'll update this thread as soon as I can. I'm open to anything! Romance, friendships, enemies, you name it.
It can be either mutual or one-sided. Your character can dislike mine while my character can like yours, and so forth.
Edit: While I'm still fleshing her out, I'm confident enough to reveal my second character!

Brook Peterson
Appearance: (Still working on it)
Hobbies: Politics, reading, writing, drawing, watching TV (mainly documentaries), cross-country, discussing SOTF.
Brook is the younger brother in the family with his sibling, Joseph, being two years ahead of him. He's on the athletic side of the scale, enjoying cross-country, and likes to keep himself in shape overall. While he's highly competitive in that area and doesn't take losing well in general, he's reasonably sociable, chatty, and laid back if you're on good terms with him, and he's more than willing to let someone else act as a leader. If you happen to get on his bad side, however, he'll typically respond by going out of his way to ignore you, which caused some problems in regards to school work. While it's easy to apologize to him, good luck with that if you've really pissed him off. Suffice to say, he can hold a grudge the size of Jupiter and it can remain that way for a long time. Brook's a really good artist and has earned some money by doing commissions both online and for some of his classmates. Writing's also one of his favorite hobbies and he's even dabbled in doing some fanfiction at a couple points, although he's recently working on his own original story.
In regards to SOTF, Brook only gained interest in them during his sophomore year, initially out of morbid curiosity and the fact that people don't really like to talk about it on more mainstream sites. The videos showcasing how the most morally upstanding person can be reduced to brutally killing their own classmates has been the basis of him starting debates in a few online forums. Even after seeing many of the gruesome murders and deaths, however, he's still not fully desensitized to the violence and doesn't watch the videos any more times than necessary. With that said, he believes that the footage should be preserved since, whether the victim's families want to admit it or not, it's a part of history that shouldn't be scrubbed away because it's upsetting.
Politically, he wasn't really into it in his younger years. That all changed around the time of Canon's presidential election. Generally, Brook leans to the right. He's against universal health care, believes marijuana should remain federally illegal, is heavily against abortion (barring certain circumstances), finds the LGBTQ+ community "strange", among others. For what he supports, he's an avid believer in the second amendment, believes that the nationwide protests has done more harm than good and supports Canon's crackdown on said protests, and other things. Don't be afraid to ask about Brook's stance on an issue if you want your character to get a more definitive opinion on him.
Academically, his grades are pretty good. A's and B's in many of his classes, with one or two dips into C's with some of his weakest subjects. Nothing that really stands out among the crowd. Although he plans to go to college, he doesn't really know what career he should go into.
Looking For:
- Fellow laid back/cross country/artist/reading/SOTF people.
- Gym friends.
- People who like/dislike/hate him for his views.
- Anybody, really.

Lula Gray
Appearance: Fair complexion, light brown eyes, neck-length brown hair (disheveled cut preferred), usually seen wearing a beanie. Her clothes are either hand-me-downs, cheap, or bought from a thrift shop, either a tad too small or too big for her. 5'8'' and weighs around 125 pounds. It's very rare that she uses make-up at all and looks disheveled in general, although she doesn't really care how she looks.
Hobbies: Cooking, reading, photography, camping, partying, running
Lula is the youngest of her two siblings, one brother and one sister. Her family's barely making ends meet as a result of her parent's poor financial skills, which was exacerbated by the sudden death of her father, as he was the one making the most money. The mother had an emotional breakdown, which she has still not recovered from. Her siblings were forced to enter the work force and work long hours while they were still in high school as a result, with her brother lying about his age in the process. Lula luckily wasn't burdened with the responsibility, but her siblings resent her for having the freedom that was ripped from them. Despite that, they still taught her how to save as much money as possible and the necessary skills to survive should something happen to them. With all of the issues surrounding her home life, she feels like she's partially responsible for it and tries to get out of the house often.
Generally, she's a nice and fun-loving girl to have around, especially at parties, and she's immensely thankful and quick to make friends (and be manipulated) if anybody gives her anything, but don't expect her to give anything to anybody. It's mostly out of necessity, but she also has the belief that it's owed to her. Basically, she's all take and no give. She's quite the gossip girl as well, but she doesn't care about politics or current events, though. Unless it affects her or her family, she's not concerned with them. Try to get her involved in them and she'll blow you off. She's bisexual as well.
Academically, Lula's below average, with a lot of C's in her classes with an occasional low B. Although she doesn't care too much about her grades, she's afraid of going anywhere near a D, fearing that she's going to be held back. She plans on entering the work force like her siblings and stick with them to the end.
Looking For:
- Friends. People that share the same interests/hobbies, are fellow party goers, and/or are poor like her.
- Some folks for Lula to have a crush on?
- People who dislike/hate her for being all take and no give.
- Some people who pities her.
- People who manipulate Lula to do favors for them in exchange for being given stuff.
- Anybody!
It can be either mutual or one-sided. Your character can dislike mine while my character can like yours, and so forth.
Edit: While I'm still fleshing her out, I'm confident enough to reveal my second character!
