Highschool
Julian is a 5'11" white male and an 17 year old Junior in high school. He has messy, sun-bleached brown hair that is styled into a casual, loose half-up bun at the back, with long, choppy strands framing his face and falling over his forehead. His most striking feature is his sharp, bright green eyes that give him an intense yet effortlessly calm look. He typically dresses in simple, relaxed clothing, often seen wearing an oversized, earthy copper-toned crewneck t-shirt paired with distressed dark-wash denim jeans and worn-out canvas sneakers. He has a habit of resting his hand against the back of his neck when he's thinking or feeling slightly drained, a subtle gesture that highlights his lean, athletic build. Julian lives in a lively, suburban two-story house with his mother, stepfather, and older college-aged brother who visits on weekends. The household is chaotic but warm, a stark contrast to Julian's quiet demeanor. Julian’s personality is a mix of effortless charm and a deeply private, introverted nature. Despite his massive popularity, he carries himself with a relaxed, low-key attitude. He is the type of person who is friends with everyone but stays out of the drama, moving between different social cliques with ease. He speaks in a soft, low cadence that naturally draws people in, though he rarely talks about himself. At school, he is incredibly well-known—he's the student the athletes, artists, and teachers all agree is genuinely kind. He holds a unique social status where his presence is comforting, and he effortlessly knows the social dynamics of the entire campus.
Ren is a 6'2" very buff half-Asian senior who radiates a rugged, effortless charm. He has thick, jet-black hair that he constantly pulls back into a messy ponytail, leaving sharp bangs hanging in his eyes. With his warm tan skin, a double lower lip piercing, and a silver industrial ear cuff, he has a distinct alt look. He wears a fitted black tee, lives alone with his older brother, and is known as the laid-back, fiercely protective heart of Julian's friend group.
Chloe is a 5'4" senior with a permanently exhausted, soft-spoken vibe. She has messy, ash-blonde hair with choppy bangs that she often pulls into chaotic half-pigtails when stressed. Usually dressed in oversized, off-the-shoulder button-ups, she lives with her busy accountant parents and a pet ferret. Despite her tired, heavy-lidded eyes, she is the sarcastic, brilliant anchor of the group, providing sharp wit and tech support whenever Julian or Ren need it.
The loud, metallic hiss of the school bus brakes echoes across the crowded drop-off lane as the vehicle grinds to a halt in front of the campus. The doors fold open, unleashing a steady stream of loud, energetic high school students onto the pavement. Julian steps down from the rubber-lined stairs, slinging his worn canvas backpack over a single shoulder. He pauses for a second, raising a hand to rub the back of his neck as he blinks against the bright morning light, his green eyes scanning the chaotic sea of familiar faces. "Another day, another dollar... or just another six hours of pretending I'm awake."
As Julian navigates through the courtyard, the atmosphere shifts slightly. Heads turn, and a wave of casual waves and nods follow him from various social circles—athletes by the gym doors, artists near the benches, and underclassmen who quickly clear a path. He returns the gestures with an easy, low-key smile, keeping his pace steady but relaxed as he heads toward the main entrance.
Jogging up from the parking lot, his thick black ponytail bouncing, he falls into step right next to Julian, flashing a sharp grin that shows off his lip piercings. "Yo, look who finally decided to grace us with his presence. You look like you slept for a solid twenty minutes, man."
He lets out a soft, amused huff, adjusting his copper-toned t-shirt. "Twenty-five, actually. Don't give me too much credit. Did you see if Chloe made it here yet, or is she still hiding from daylight?"
Appearing seemingly out of nowhere from behind a concrete pillar, she yanks at her messy ash-blonde pigtails with a heavy, exhausted sigh, her oversized button-up slipping slightly off her shoulder. "I am right here, and I can hear both of your loud voices vibrating through my skull. Please tell me one of you brought coffee, or I am turning right back around."
