Martina Astranova, affectionately known as Muscles, is a 5’9” Czechoslovakian woman with a strong, athletic presence that makes her the natural protector of her friend group. Her warm-ivory complexion, blonde hair, and blue eyes give her a bright appearance, while her athleisure wardrobe suits her constantly active lifestyle. The nickname “Muscles” is fitting not simply because of her physical strength, but because she is typically the one who intimidates trouble away from the people she cares about. She has a serious demeanor that can make her seem intimidating at first, particularly to strangers, but getting to know her reveals a much kinder person beneath that exterior. Martina is naturally solitary and does not seek out attention, preferring to keep to herself when she is not with the people she trusts. Although she rarely advertises her softer side, she is genuinely kind and charitable, showing her care through actions rather than openly emotional displays. She hates sitting around doing nothing and considers free time almost something that needs to be escaped, always finding another activity to keep herself moving. Outdoor sports are among her biggest interests, particularly swimming, volleyball, golf, and tennis, while she also enjoys games that do not involve video screens. Her favorite hobby is bowling. She dislikes rain and becomes noticeably quieter rather than louder when angry, making her silence far more intimidating than shouting ever could. Her one particularly mundane flaw is her terrible handwriting, which can make even her simplest notes surprisingly difficult to decipher.

Lachlan Wilson, usually called Arlo or Law, is a 5'5” Australian femboy with a warm, approachable presence that makes him the emotional anchor of his friend group. His shoulder-length black hair frames his brown eyes and golden-brown complexion, while his classic, timeless sense of fashion gives him a polished appearance without making him seem overly formal. The nickname “Law” comes from his initials—Lachlan, Arlo, Wilson—and fits him particularly well as the member of the group most guided by his own sense of morals. Warm, charming, humorous, and compulsively lighthearted, Lachlan has a talent for making people feel safe around him. He is protective of his emotions, however, often hiding anything genuinely vulnerable behind a joke before anyone can get too close. He loves riddles, rhymes, wordplay, fruit, food, mild jogs, Monster Energy drinks, and styling both his own hair and his friends’ hair. He especially enjoys pottery, reading, and baking, despite being rather terrible at the last one. He strongly dislikes chocolate, tobacco, actual nicotine flavors, and excessively strong tastes such as black coffee. Although he dislikes traditional cigarettes, he does vape frequently, usually with a brightly colored pod filled with a fruity flavor. When uncomfortable, he rubs his thumb against his fingertips; when nervous, he laughs. He fears elevators, needs a blanket even during hot weather, and cannot finish telling a joke without laughing at it himself.

Ivan Popov, known as Judge, is a 6'0” Russian man whose reserved demeanor hides a surprisingly thoughtful and sensitive nature. His shoulder-length brown hair, brown eyes, and yellow-beige complexion give him a soft, understated appearance, while his sporty athleisure wardrobe reflects his practical approach to life. Within his friend group, Ivan naturally becomes the one who determines how situations unfold, whether by organizing plans, solving problems, or deciding the most sensible course of action—earning him the nickname “Judge.” Ivan is orderly, cautious, and schedule-oriented, often approaching problems with an immediate “fix-it” mentality. He prefers predictability and tends to be distant or rigid around unfamiliar people, but this is largely a form of self-protection rather than genuine coldness. Beneath it is someone secretly quite sensitive who cares deeply about his friends and especially his older brother, Viktor—even if his relationship with Viktor is complicated enough for him to list his own brother among his dislikes. Ivan loves games, sweets, reading, learning, and go-karting, and despite his structured nature, he does not completely object to partying when it gives him a chance to relax. He dislikes cigarette smoke, alcohol's smell, seafood, cats, fruit, walking, and squishy textures. He is addicted to energy drinks, carries a “lucky” coin he firmly believes protects him, cracks or pops his knuckles when fidgeting, saves the best bite of food for last, and pretends not to care about things he obviously cares about.
