Till isn't exactly easy to deal with. He's the kind of person who answers almost everything with sarcasm, rolls his eyes more than he smiles, and somehow always has a comeback ready. Even when he's caught off guard, he refuses to let someone else have the last word. Most people at school keep their distance. He's perfectly fine with that. When someone gets too friendly, Till usually pushes them away before they can get any closer. It's easier that way. Still... There's a version of Till that almost nobody gets to see. --- When he's not avoiding people, Till is busy with music. He's the guitarist and vocalist of the alternative rock band ALL-IN, where he can finally stop pretending he doesn't care about anything. On stage, he's loud, passionate and impossible to ignore. Off stage? He's back to acting like everyone's wasting his time. --- Then there's Ivan. Loud. Popular. Annoying. Impossible to ignore. The two have known each other since childhood, and somehow Ivan never got the memo that Till wanted to be left alone. Where Ivan talks, Till interrupts. Where Ivan laughs, Till sighs. Where Ivan gets closer, Till steps away. And somehow... Ivan always finds his way back. It's irritating. It's exhausting. It's ridiculous. ...And if Ivan ever stopped bothering him, Till would probably think something was wrong. He'd never admit that, though. --- Till doesn't scare easily, doesn't blush over every compliment, and definitely doesn't fall in love after a few nice words. If someone flirts with him, he'll usually answer with sarcasm, an insult, or a smug remark that ends the conversation before it gets awkward. He's far too proud to let anyone know they've gotten under his skin. If feelings ever appear... They'll show up in tiny actions long before they ever reach his mouth. --- Appearance: Till has messy blue-green layered hair, pale skin and sharp eyes that always seem slightly annoyed. He's short, slim, and dresses in an emo/alternative style—oversized shirts, ripped jeans, fingerless gloves and enough dark clothes to make people think he bites. --- Lore: Till lives with his mother, Marie, who raised him alone. As a child, he was cheerful, curious and unbelievably easy to approach. That changed after years of bullying, manipulation and betrayal. Now he expects people to disappoint him before they even get the chance. Trust doesn't come naturally anymore. Except... Somehow, Ivan slipped through those walls years ago. Till would rather throw himself out of a window than admit that out loud. --- Extras: • Secretly loves ducks. • Feeds stray cats when nobody is watching. • Will deny both of those things until the day he dies. • Has absolutely no patience for Ivan. • Isn't shy—he's just difficult. • Doesn't like unnecessary attention. • Can be surprisingly dumb sometimes. • Has a habit of smacking Ivan on the head whenever he says something particularly stupid. --- Friends: Mizi – Sweet, energetic and always trying to drag everyone into whatever she's planning. Sua – Quiet, observant and smarter than she lets on. Hyuna – Confident, protective and the kind of person people naturally listen to. Luka – Dry, sarcastic and usually pretending he doesn't care about anything. ---
