I'm alays in dire need of threads and character relationships so hit me up with anything you got dawg. Except, not everything of course, I'm a minor, so nothing NSFW over here please, but besides that, I'm pretty open, if you have an idea that isn't listed, I'll still be all ears.

Juniper Vincent
26 * Male * Currently Unemployed * Homosexual * Single * Possible teacher *

He was a famous talk show host, soap opera star, ex circus member, along with a number of other things in the normie world. With fame came a certain amount of arrogance, he puts up a very strange facade that hides the parts he thinks are less attractive. Around people he is close to he shows his more cautious, protective side that a huge bag of nerves and secretly is good with kids (despite him publicly claiming to dislike them).

The Deal:
Recently found his niece and they are back on good terms. He is debating whether to leave or stay in Manta Carlos, mainly concerned about his niece's safety. However, he is in yet another sticky situation, a club owner has blackmail of both him and his niece, she wants them to leave within the next ten hours. Juniper, not liking being told what to do, is attempting to hatch a plan to ensure that him along with his niece will be able to stay in Manta Carlos if they feel like it.

Wants:
Parent friends- While not her actual father, Juniper has acted as Klef's surrogate dad for about a decade. He is looking for other people to relate to, donate his parenting books, and give advice to along with getting some advice about handling a teenager.
Someone who could convince him to stay: Juniper is extremely prejudiced against any magical or unusual creatures, but has developed a secret longing to stay. Though he's never admit it, he believes that Starlight Academy is a good option for Klef, but is concerned about safety. He could use someone who could talk him into staying whether it's by arguing Manta Carlo's safety or providing incentive.
Rivals- He's comes off as super arrogant, a jab at his pride is all it takes to get on his bad side. Someone could always call him out on acting so cocky or perhaps a fellow performer wants to outshine him. A foil of some sort could lead to an interesting dynamic.
An agent- Juniper will have the best chance at broadening his viewership to Manta Carlos with an agent who is more accepting of the magical nature of Manta Carlos. He needs someone who knows the ins and outs of the island and use them to their advantage along with doing damage control when he slips up.
Teacher friends- In the future, Juniper may decide to teach at Starlight Academy, as Juniper is good with kids and wants to encourage others to pursue the arts. As of right now, he wouldn't teach even if he was payed 100 dollars an hour to do so, but meeting some teachers may be able to change that.
Help with his plan: Just about anyone would work as long as they are clever or have something to bring to the table, but Juniper is in dire need of someone who could get the club owner in legal trouble, get blackmail, or be a good threat. Someone who could peacefully resolve the conflict is welcome as well, but they would have to be a legal authority of some sort for Juniper to trust them.

Candy Whitson
* 16 * Female * High School Student * Single *

She's kind of the wild card of the bunch. A 39 year old who looks and acts no older than 16, completely made of plastic, and has a mouth that will never shut up. Although she's insanely annoying, she can be a good friend to many. Candy is loyal, kind, and has good intentions, even though she doesn't think things through too often. She can help people open up a bit more and is decent at advice if you're willing to sit through an hour of her rambling

The Deal:
Candy is running for office yet again, this time determined to land a spot on the student council. She legitimately wants to make the school a better place this time around and is very set on winning, thus preparing months in advance.

Wants:
Foily friends: She could work well with someone the complete opposite as her; reserved. Both would be able to learn a thing or two from their extreme personalities and she would love to be able to bounce off ideas with someone more grounded.
A Puppet Master: Whether they’re too shy, have a bad reputation, or just think that Candy would be a better platform than them, Candy can be their puppet at school. While she does stand for certain things in general such as individuality, she wouldn't mind being told what to do as long as it secures her chances of winning or if they can convince her to agree with their beliefs.
A Campaign Manager: They could also double as the puppet master, but Candy needs someone to guide her along the way, prevent her from blurting out stuff that she isn't supposed to. The campaign manager is in charge of making sure everything goes as planned.
Etc.: Minions, rivals, allies, trophy boyfriend

Klef
* 14 * Female * High School Student * Pansexual * Single *

Klef is a blind fourteen year old who has a lot on her plate. She tends to be very friendly around others and has an almost dangerous knack for adventure. A bit of a late bloomer, she is often faced the hurdles of getting older, whether it's dark realizations about life, taking on leadership, and shortlived crushes. Along with struggling to act more mature, she also has a ton of trouble holding down long term relationships whether platonic or romantic due to moving frequently as a young kid.

The Deal:
Reunited with her uncle and on decent enough terms, though she is having trouble expressing her opinions to him lately. Klef is also debating whether to stay or leave Manta Carlos, while she wants to stay, she has come to the realization that it's not the safest place for her. She too has been caught up in the sticky situation, but does not have anything she can do about it. Along with debating whether to stay or go, she is eventually going to be determined to get her sight back when things are stable again. Ideally, she hopes to do this herself, but is open to a little help.

Wants:
Friends: Klef could always use more friends, no matter what species or gender. She wants people to go on adventures with and do typical friend shenanigans as well.
Other people with disabilities: She recently went blind and is using it as an excuse for everything along with not trying to get help while adjusting to a new lifestyle. She could bond with someone who has some kind of disability, and learn a thing or two from them.
Older sibling figure: Klef needs someone who would look out for her and be a good influence on her. She is rather impulsive, so to have someone to make sure she doesn't get hurt would ensure that she lives for at least a couple more years.
Someone who could get her sight back: She will do just about anything to repair the seals on her eyes, someone could easily take advantage of this and convince her to do their dirty work or corrupt her in exchange.
Crush/Love interest: Klef is exceptionally dense and can get bored easily, making romantic relationships and crushes shortlived trainwrecks. The best kind of relationship would be slow and painful, likely starting off as friends since she would not willingly delve quickly into a romantic relationship. It would be ideal if they were relatively close to her age and had a few contrasting personality traits.


Ursa Osborn
* 10 * Elementary school student * Sexuality unknown *

Ursa is a bratty bear who fell down from the heavens with a superiority complex. While not intentional, her tough nature hinders her from having any good relationships with anyone her age. She is constantly seeking security and stability, but is not the type the think things through thoroughly.


The Deal:
She has been in Manta Carlos for a few months, but only recently has she been allowed to attend elementary school and go about normal kid life. Because her abilities consist healing and turning into a bear, there is no need for her to have a bracelet. However, this allows her to be a bear wherever she wants. Right now she has zero friends and can't find a balance between being a bear and a girl.


Wants:
Victims: Ursa is a huge bully, but is partially unaware of this. She preys on anyone she sees as inferior whether they are human or a lesser creature like a fox or bird.
Parents: At the moment she has no parental figure of any sort, making it easier for her to push boundaries and break rules. While she may be the brattiest child they have layed eyes on, her intense desire for stability and cluelessness about the more civilized world make her a bit open to the idea.
Friends: Ursa would be a terrible friend to most normal children, but if they get the same enjoyment from frightening other children, they may be just the friend for Ursa. Once she has warmed up to them she will protect them at all costs.​

-SLAMS DOWN LUCO for Klef-

Some key points:
  • Pretty much the patron saint of kindness and taking up lost causes
  • Would literally know Klef is a demon before they do, although they likely would not say it right away (it might accidentally slip in private, though, if that's something you want - he's generally very careful about outing demons to others but often assumes that they know themselves when on MCI they often do not
  • Is not a teacher, but is in the school, so it's entirely plausible he'd run into Klef on a day to day basis--especially if she ever goes to the interfaith chapel, which is not strictly religious but also exists as a place you can have some privacy and time to yourself

Friends with disabilities for Klef, you say? Gareth is a new kid who is missing his left leg, left eye, three fingers on his left hand, and is currently in a wheelchair as he is in the process of learning to walk on his new prosthetic leg.

Although Gareth is 2 years older, they are also in the same grade because Gareth was held back.

I think they might get along well :D

That's a fantastic way to have Klef figure out about her demon heritage. Klef has the slightest bit of suspicion that she may be a demon or some other species after the events of the virus, so she wouldn't think it is crazy for him to say she's half demon if that ever slips out. She also could use a positive experience with an adult on this island.

I don't see Klef as a particularly religious person, but with everything she is going through, she'd probably find some comfort at the interfaith chapel.

Should we start a thread sometime soon? Perhaps with Klef visiting the chapel for the first time?

Sure, first thread works for me - the real question is if you want him to 'let it slip' in the first thread. I think it's pretty likely--he'd be delighted to find a half-demon visiting the chapel--but it's up to you.

hey
take this
*tosses Lilian Blight @ Juniper*

The Deal:
New mom at Manta Carlos, already has a kiddo (Joseph Blight). Loves kids to bits, fear of direct confrontation, not looking for any romantic prospects. Worrywart to the n[sup]th[/sup] degree, but intuitive and understanding.

Fulfills:
  • Mom Friend - Can help Juniper out with taking care of Klef by sharing some of her own personal experiences from taking care of Joe.
  • A Foil - Lilian, if she got famous enough, could end up like Juniper's initial impression, despite being a little more compassionate. She could end up being a nice foil as-is for Juniper.
What do you think? ^-^

I think so too! Klef would probably jump at the oppunity to show a new kid at school, and she always wants more people to goof around with. She could also use someone who wasn't born disabled either, while it's not exactly small talk, they definitely could bond over that. If he's a bit of a slacker, they could bond over their mediocre grades along with their disabilities.

As for how we should start the thread, I'm open to anything, but maybe somewhere in the school since they're both students? Klef doesn't have a favorite place on campus (she loves the woods) so really depends on where Gareth would go.

@Romi Awesome! I think it would probably make the most sense for it to slip in,
