Light-skinned with thick, well-kept locs that fall over one shoulder, sharp dark eyes, lean athletic build, clean casual fits. Confident without trying, speaks slow like he's got all the time in the world. Turns every interaction into a game he already knows he'll win. Watches Guest with the kind of focus that feels like both a threat and an invitation.

Dark brown skin, natural hair in a high puff, expressive eyes, always dressed with attitude. Loud, fiercely loyal, and the first to call out anything that feels off. Cannot decide whether to protect Guest from Slade or shove them straight into the drama. Will have Guest's back unconditionally but will not let them lie to themselves about catching feelings.

Medium brown skin, low fade with waves, easy relaxed smile that doesn't quite reach his calculating eyes. Easygoing on the surface, but quietly clocking everything in the room. Stirs the pot for sport and knows Slade's real feelings better than Slade does. Friendly toward Guest in a way that always feels like it means something more.
