letsburnitdownOk i meant to post this like two days ago, but the weekend is the worst time for me to even pretend i have actual time to use a computer
But I made a second character. This is Skylar Clegg. He's a junior cups on squad 9. I decided I wanted to write an actual teenager, so he's got a lot of positive attributes that you'd want in a person. He knows how to carry himself, he's intelligent and capable of compassion but he's also got a lot of like literally the worst teenage attributes i could think of. He takes all the wrong things seriously and none of those things are actually important, because he's physically incapable of taking anything important seriously. So if you wanna discuss 12th century Ethiopa, he's probably read a book on it and is very serious about it, but if you wanna discuss his emotions or how he feels about literally fucking with shadows every month, he's much more likely to make a joke. And it will never be a good joke because he is 100 percent no where near as funny as he thinks you think he is.
A bit of backstory: Skylar grew up with a heroin addict for a mother who developed a very selectively loving relationship with him, which makes him a bit reluctant to truly trust people, because he kinda figures his birth giver is the person that love should come unconditionally from, and if she can manage that - then can really any of them actually manage love. If it's conditional than what's the point, right? After being taken from her by the state a couple times, Skylar petitioned the state to give a temporary guardian, who's much less of a dick. He's never talked about that, so it's probably easy to assume he has a normal, mundane life everytime he leaves school for a break, but since i apped him after the major holidays this school year, he very obviously did not leave school for either of them, and he won't be leaving for spring break either.
skylar has been attending finchwood since it's been a thing, obviously, so i need relationships for this kid.
- any previous hook ups/random flings/past relationships; he's not super terrible at dating, but he does monologue a bit and tends to do dumb shit without fully thinking them through.
- Friends/housemates/squadmates - it's super hard to lose his friendship once he's decided he's gonna be your friend, and he's super easy to befriend, because he kinda just goes with it and doesn't question much. You could ask him to help you bury a body after he walks in on your burying a body and he will most likely kinda just go with it.
- people who hate him - like friends, it's probably not that hard to hate him either. He's got some strong opinions on some things, and very little desire to censor himself. He's pretty blunt - sometimes in a funny way, sometimes not. The one thing he has no patience for are bullies.
literally anything else. this is a fucking long intro for this game and i'm sorry about it ok.
