GOT DISTRACTED BY VIDEO GAMES BUT NOW I'M BACK ON TRACK. It's time for even more intros

This is Reece! He's a junior Azurcrest. He's from New York. His mother is the chief of staff for the MACUSA rep from NY and his father is a nomaj journalist. Everyone in his family YELLS A LOT but that's how they show they care. The whole environment growing up was a little chaotic, esp because he was a shy child, but it did prepare him for being surrounded by Azurcrests. He's a little more introverted than some of his housemates but he's more sociable than he used to be.

His primary hobby is ~inventing~ which is fun when it's successful. Which is a solid 50% of the time. He promises not to blow anything up (while he's at school). He also enjoys MUGGLE ASTROLOGY, an obsession he picked up from his older sister (who recently graduated from Azurcrest as well). She owls him Teen Cosmo just for the horoscopes. He's a Capricorn.

He's also the other junior prefect for Azurcrest! He's pretty lenient on minor infractions. His main mantra as a prefect is "let's all have fun, be safe, and be nice to each other". JUST FOLLOW THE GOLDEN RULE, GUYS.

I'm open to any and all kinds of plots

Yay Reece! He's so cute. :)

So, Reid will know him from being in the same year. He's icy and awkward, but may have expressed some curiosity over Reece's inventions in the past. If Reece needs a friend, Reid will listen to him talk about all his invention and astrology stuff. However, he does need to be reprimanded periodically for climbing things he really shouldn't.

Calvin probably won't talk to Reece much. :c Although all prefects probably are kind of aware he was a jerk last year, and is... significantly less of one now. He gets bullied by Sy Stoker, which prefects sometimes help him with.

Diego is a year above him in Azurcrest, and he breaks rules, and then apologizes. And then does it again, and apologizes. He'll be really friendly and big brotherly at Reece, though. He'll try to play it cool but he's totally fascinated by the horoscopes thing REECE TELL HIM WHAT THE STARS SAY.

And Rafael! Before I begin, do you still want to have their older siblings engaged? :D

RE: Rafael and their siblings, yes! if it all sounds good to you. I was gonna drop you a line about it last night but it slipped my mind. Cristiane was also in LARP, and I imagine her as being equal measures genuine sweetheart and TOTAL DRAMA QUEEN. Growing up she was used to being the ABSOLUTE CENTER OF ATTENTION 100% OF THE TIME, so I can definitely imagine she + Ricardo being. a very dramatic high school couple lmao.

I'll reply for everyone else in sec I'm all over the place right now sorry haha

THAT SOUNDS GREAT. Ricardo is half SELFISH MANIPULATIVE ASSHOLE and half genuinely fun and good hearted guy. So I'm sure when he and Christiane not playing out some ridiculous melodrama, they're very close. Their wedding is probably going to be as much groomzilla as bridezilla.

So! Rafael. As everyone knows, he's got A Reputation as a prefect, can be incredibly abrasive, and in LARP he's kind of a terror. But on a day-to-day basis, he's very affectionate, poised and playful, and so that's probably mostly what Reece gets. As long as Reece tries and shows he takes being a prefect seriously, Rafael will only get on his case periodically for being lax. He knows Azurcrest is a special case, and Reece is family in a roundabout way.

But the Ricardo thing made a lot of Rafael's interpersonal relationships... hard. Ricardo flirted with all of his friends and led them on, nitpicked Rafael's girlfriends until they broke up with him, and was generally nonstop ~lovingly~ critical. And in return, Rafael was always trying to pettily outsmart him and killing his characters in LARP. If Ric was also involved in Reece and Rafael's relationship, he probably found a way to undermine that too, so if you want to go with Reece and Raf not getting along that definitely works. BUT NOW RIC IS GONE, and Rafael is free, and I don't know what he's going to do with that. He's retreated from a lot of the actual RP parts of LARP and mostly does organizational stuff now, I guess, so... that's a relief.

OKAY.

Reid: Reece isn't socially inept EXACTLY but he is probably space cadet-y enough that he doesn't realize it when people are ignoring him/being icy towards him, and he's always happy to talk about his gadgets and knick knacks if people ask, so i can see them getting along sporadically. PLUS he's definitely the person to be like "OH MY GOD YOU ARE GOING TO BREAK YOUR NECK" momfriend style when ppl are doing reckless things so that checks out

Calvin: he can totally help him out w bullying stuff. STOP BEING SUCH A TOOL, SY. also I think Reece is probably pretty interested in what hogwarts is like so he may have bugged him about that. possibly last year though which maybe didn't work out for him so hot

Diego: REECE FORGIVES YOU FOR YOUR RULE BREAKING. even if it is a charlie brown and the football situation. he believes in u, diego. (sidebar: when i was looking for icons for reece one of the sets i was looking at was robert as simon lewis in the movie version of shadowhunters but he just looks TOO MUCH like diego. maybe he'll go as him for halloween)

AND NOW THE REST

Reid: Reid will sullenly listen to Reece when he tells him to get down. 8( Reid's icyness is all just being stilted, so IT WORKS OUT. I imagine that under all those awkward layers he likes Reece a lot.

Calvin: Yeah, last year Calvin was probably very defensive and mocking, but this year he's not putting on those airs. If Reece tried again this year and wanted to seriously know what Hogwarts was like... well, Calvin didn't have a great time at Hogwarts so it might be riddled with complaints, but he'd also tell him about the history and all the weird stuff that happens. And if Reece is someone who stands up for him, Calvin will warm up to him sooooo fast.

Diego: Diego thinks Reece is lovely, such a smart kid, going to hold him close and protect him. Diego will try SO HARD to be good for all the Azurcrest prefects who believe in him. And OH MY GOD haha that's right, they both played Simon. Ugh, Robert Sheehan is so cute, with or without glasses.
