Character Name: Jude Tobin
Concept Line: Just copy-paste it here!
Year and House: Junior Cups
Squad and Position: Squad 6, second
Classes: English, Mathematics, Science*, Social Studies, Training, Leadership, Life Skills, Music, Philosophy
Extracurriculars: Athletics, Choir, Community Outreach, Drama

Brief Summary: Jude is an unfriendly, acerbic young man who's pretty hard to deal with. He's the kind of person who proudly proclaims he loves animals more than people. Hr's not shy at all, and tends to psychoanalyze people presumptuously. On the other hand, Jude has a soft spot for animals, his squad, and students that remind him of baby animals. He's a no kiss boy who reacts comically badly to most flirting. (He's... Calvin. He's just Calvin.)
Last Year: He was mean and hard to like, and arrived at Finchwood with his hackles way, way up. Jude clearly has Baggage and it took most of last year to get him to relax. Eventually loneliness won out and he made some friends, and started dating Pansy. It was a pleasant but oddly chaste relationship. In the beginning Jude rarely wanted to hold hands, let alone kiss.
This Year: Jude is still difficult, but he's.... trying. A little. He wants friends, but he's still just kind of an unpleasant guy. He's a second now, though, so he's trying to work on his broken social skills. Pansy broke up with him when she became a leader, and Jude wasn't Thrilled but tried to keep a stiff upper lip. He thinks the breakup was due to his shortcomings (it wasn't).
Wanted lines: UH ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING? A few friends for sure!!! Enemies or rivals? All sexy flirtboys and flirtgirls are bad news 🚫Do Not Interact🚫, but.... he loves their attention and wants to be wanted.

crocolyle

Character Name:Lyle Hemmings
Concept Line: Spritely writer fights to be braver,finds he's better on paper
Year and House: Swords Junior
Squad and Position: Squad Five; Member
Classes: English*, Mathematics*, Science*, Social Studies*, Training, Art, Philosophy
Extracurriculars: Print Club, Community Outreach

Brief Summary:Lyle is a talented writer who is uh VERY bad at talking out loud. He used to stutter, and doesn't anymore, but still talks very quickly and refuses to arrive at a point. Lyle's an irresponsible poltergeist of a person who likes to keep things easy and surface, and when people try to get too deep, he'll rush right past the uncomfortable parts, or lie to get around them. He's mischievous in a (usually) kind way, and his very favorite pasttime is leaving weird gifts with his friends. Prone to whistling at all hours of the day, living off chips when he's writing, having 0 fitting clothes, and having the most elaborate contract cover stories in the maybe world.
Last Year: Well he almost left at least 98 times. Shadows terrified him. His persona terrified him. He hated the idea of fighting. He got DARTS as a weapon, guys. But he stayed, because he's curious, because of peer pressure, and because he sort of wants to turn all this into a book someday, after changing enough around that he won't just forget it all.
This Year: Lyle did stay over the summer and told his parents it was for Habitat for Humanity. He bought a t-shirt out of a thrift store to prove it. Staying helped him not be as freaked out by all of the magic stuff this year, and he's more comfortable. He's adjusting to his squad, and getting better at fighting, though. He went home for Christmas break! He has three homeschooled siblings who he loves very much who think he's a big time adventurer for doing any of this, so I'm sure he's telling them he's doing something super great.
Wanted lines: ANYYYTHIIIING! I'd obviously really like him to have some friends? Mostly on the Light side but maybe a few serious ones too! But if he's uh Just Too Weird that's completely understandable? Someone who helped him train last year so he wasn't a scaredy cat about shadows anymore? I don't know really know what he's like kisswise, but he'd prooobably make out with a few people in a strictly Fun capacity.

Character Name: Josephine Linville
Concept Line: Smiley island girl finds joy everywhere, but mostly editing papers and rollerblading.
Year and House: Sophomore Wand
Squad and Position: Squad 4, Medium Member
Classes: English*, Mathematics, Science, Social Studies*, Training. Life Skills, Philosophy.
Extracurriculars: Gaming.

Brief Summary: Josephine is a Nice Person because we probably need some more of those - she's friendly (but not overly energetic or talkative unless she's with the right people), honest, and tries her best to be super helpful! She likes to cook, rollerblade, surf/swim, and edit papers/various writings. She can be kind of blunt sometimes because she just wants to be honest!! She's incredibly sure of herself. She's trying to go by Josephine this year to ~*be more mature*~ but I call her Josie a lot so I imagine that won't go well. She's from Honolulu like Russ and knew him from there before coming here!! Ali we need to discuss more aisdnga
Last Year: Her older brother, who is senior aged, also got into Finchwood but he decided not to come because it freaked him out, and he 'convinced' Josie to also not go, buuuut she just let him go forget first and then stayed at Finchwood, oops. She feels bad about this, especially because she doesn't like lying :( But she LOVES that she has a chance to really be helpful so she thinks it was worth it. She befriended Lyle at some point and probably tries to talk for him too much. In general she tried to befriend a lot of people, make them food, and tell them that their writing could use some improvement.
This Year: She went home over the summer and spent a lot of time with her brother that almost came to Finchwood, and felt kind of bad about it. Upon returning she was Ready To Go and decided that she needed to be even more consciously helpful to others, so she's trying to put that into practice and actively assist and anticipate the needs of others. She's also trying to be more grown up (hence the Josephine thing) .
Wanted lines: Whatever??!! Friends?? Josie is very friendly and likes to try to take people under her wing even though she's a 15 year old, so she should hopefully be easy to get along with! Also, she will happily edit essays for class and tell you in a lot of red pen how bad she thinks it is (but, you know, lovingly). I will........ think more on this.

thatskarma

Character Name: Justice Bishop
Concept Line: Loudmouth magic ace goes with her gut, for better or worse.
Year and House: Senior Cups
Squad and Position: Six, Leader
Classes: English, Mathematics, Science, Social Studies, Training, Leadership, Life Skills, Shop
Extracurriculars: Athletics, Gaming

Brief Summary:

A former competitive gymnast, emphasis on competitive. She kept ranking 1 spot below where she needed to be to advance and it was slowly killing her, so her parents gently suggested she give the sport up.

Was homeschooled to accommodate her strenuous training schedule and is a little bit of a maladapted weirdo because of it. She talks much more loudly than she needs to. She cuts other people off. She complains if she's not in on the joke.

Has a lot of pent-up frustration and doesn't always find healthy outlets for it. Kind of like a poorly trained puppy in that regard.

Very self-assured (and maybe shouldn't be). Not prone to second-guessing herself, but does it hate it when she's not the best at something.

Will climb anything. Gets into places she shouldn't. She likes to be tall.

Last Year: Finchwood was a very good change for her. She's used to training hard from her time doing gymnastics, so this felt a lot more normal to her than high school did. She has a natural aptitude for casting magic with her persona and found herself in tune with Yelahiah very quickly last year, something she prides herself on to this day. While she didn't stay over the summer, she had no fear of being behind the curve when she got back.

This Year: Pleased but not surprised to make leader. She was born for this job and loves doing it, even if she thinks Jude is kind of a butthead. Like everything else at Finchwood, she's taken to Shadow World exploration like a duck to water and is eager to get back into the thick of things now that break is over. She went home to see her family for Christmas, because she is secretly soft.

Wanted lines: She's definitely a kissgirl, so last year kiss encounters of any gender. Besides that I don't have any suuuuper specific lines in mind for her. She just needs a few friends. Maybe a few people who one-upped her in athletics or gaming club last year that she's holding a dumb grudge against now.

undebted

Character Name: Blake Hasenkamp
Concept Line: Former party girl survives a brush with death, won't lose anyone else.
Year and House: Senior Swords
Squad and Position: Squad 6 Support
Elective Classes: Art, Computer Science
Extracurriculars: Choir, Drama (crew only), Gaming

Brief Summary: Blake is caring and serious-minded but also blunt and socially awkward. She's into clay sculpture, naps, and not talking to strangers. She used to be a hard-partying irresponsible type, but after walking away from a bad car accident, she became more withdrawn and desperate to find a different path for her life. Instead of turning to religion, she turned to Finchwood!!!
Last Year: She just wanted to focus on the whole world-saving business and didn't want to make friends, but this school is way too small and the Shadow stuff way too stressful. It was impossible not to eventually warm up to a few people :( You're all very cute :((
This Year: Blake went home for winter break. It sucked! She has a new appreciation for all of you, and will be making more of an effort now to not be an antisocial hot mess. I'm also going to say she stayed over the summer to work on getting stronger, just because I don't have any who stayed over the summer. Blake is largely focused on the Shadow World and helping people through it. She sure as hell isn't thinking about college or what comes after because D: D: D:
Wanted lines:

A few friends!! Blake has a difficult personality and didn't make a whole lot of friends last year but I'm pretty open to seeing what connections could work. :o I imagine she mostly socializes with the Senior Swords, Art students and other Supports?? Maybe???? She'll be coming back after winter break to try to open up more, just because they're all in this together and she needs to act like more of a team player.
Squad 6!!! We need to figure out how the first half of the year has gone. Sorry to saddle you all with a barely communicative Support.
A kiss mistake?? Blake didn't date anyone last year but she probably wandered into one or two parties and got very drunk and flirted with someone, and now acts kind of weird around them maybe.
Something else if you have an idea????

Character Name: Kodi Rue Hanson
Year and House: Senior Cups
Squad and Position: Squad 5 Second
Classes: English*, Mathematics*, Science*, Social Studies*, Training, Leadership, Life Skills, Shop.
Extracurriculars: Athletics (SHINY NEW PRESIDENT!), Community Outreach, Dance, Student Council.

Current State:

she's in such a better place! 🙏 she got to spend a whole week with her family, which helped the homesickness, as well as got early acceptance to ~her choice colleges~ ~~i forgot what they were except cmu~~. it means that she's coming back a lot more stable than she was: she knows she has a spot next year and she knows it can be near her family and those were the two biggest things pressing on her and making her into a terrible human person. repercussions are as follows...
squad 5: she's coming for you. she's going to try and fix relationships. first up is the squad. i don't actually know how she'll be yet -- she's likely to lean on adam and hadlee since she's become better with them in the past few weeks. petra was never really a concern, so i guess it's only venus who REALLY needs to watch out for overbearing connection attempts.
she's in a weird place about suzy. she told herself !no dating! this year but she blew off lee to go to a dance with suzy and she's got it bad for her. every fibre of her being is currently in place to keep her from jumping into it headfirst. she's just very bad and awkward about all of this.
ATHLETICS CLUB!!!! SHE'S YOUR PRESIDENT NOW!!! I'M SO SORRY!!!! she'll be pestering them soon. for jan she'll organize skating, hockey, and ??? i have to go back to sully's old post to find out. (this new station also helps her chill out, like, a lot.)

Wanted lines: honestly, for her it's anything and everything, always. if you have an idea i'd love to hear it; nothing comes to mind right now.

Anything else?: i am both excited and relieved to write one of these where i didn't talk about her engaging in excessive self-sabotage.

Character Name: Luke Pokorny
Year and House: Sophomore Swords
Squad and Position: Squad 10 Regular Joe
Classes: English*, Mathematics, Science, Social Studies, Training, Art, Computer Science, Music, Philosophy.
Extracurriculars: Choir, Drama, Gaming, Print.

Current State:

luke is fine! luke is always fine! he's putting down roots and he likes it, although he's still a little apprehensive about it because it's not what he's used to and he doesn't know if he's doing it the right way. (is there a right way? he has no idea.)
he's way into squad 10 and thinks they are the coolest people ever. he's begun to emulate sabrina and shiloh a bit at training and exploration because they're the authority figures and obviously know what they're doing.
he's offered to do a bunch of stuff to help the drama crew whenever they need the hand. :>

Wanted lines:

i'll be honest here: i really feel like i've been neglecting him. it's been hard for me to put him out there when he's so bent on trying to be a dozen other people. that's a shortcoming on my part, not on the awesome RP community we have. <3 i REALLY want to get him to do more things, befriend different people, and start to mature, but i'm having a tough time doing all of them. tl;dr i'm literally down for ANY idea anybody might have, and i'm going to try and
so i think i'm asking for an unlikely new friend or two? this is p vague and we can work on it IC. people who don't mind having this little tall weirdo follow them around.
he's gonna have a crush on 1 or maybe 5 cute boys. i have no idea how this is going to work. this is more of a warning. he should definitely ward the sophomore girls about it.

Anything else?: beep beep it's a soft boy. i think i'ma try to pick him up a metaplot cal spot if one's available for january to try and punt some of the above issues out of gear.

Character Name: Cecilia Aneliese Blackwell
Year and House: Sophomore Cup
Squad and Position: Squad 12 Member
Classes: English*, Mathematics*, Science*, Social Studies*, Training, Philosophy, Art
Extracurriculars: Student Council, Community Outreach, Drama, Gardening, Gaming

Current State: Cecilia is pretty good. She's difficult to ruffle. She had a nice time at the dance with Tal! She had a restful Christmas, playing boardgames with her brother. She's happy to be back at school, where she can be a know-it-all and solve mysteries.

The largest thing on her mind right now is the ... philosophical(??) implications of the Shadow World and Personas. I don't think she'll ever have a satisfying answer but she enjoys thinking about it, even if it's slightly stressful. She wants to understand how the Shadow World is created, so hunting down the person responsible for this jungle will become a priority. I should probably follow through with her sophomore ward detective expeditions...

Wanted lines: Friends??? I'm not really sure who considers her a good friend, so lemme know if Cecilia's on your chars' short list.

I do want Cecilia to be my Ce-sillier character (once Serious Sam is born), so I'm going to let her be more of a dumb high schooler this semester. Past kiss mistakes? Maybe some future kiss mistakes?

More involvement in clubs! She's a resume padder and very active in all her extracurriculars, so I'd like to organize more things for her!
