! introduction, x-player: riley

Hey, everyone! My name's Riley and I'm new here. I don't believe I've played with any of you before, but correct me if I'm wrong :) I'm just throwing this up here quickly before I go to bed.

First off, I have Gavin Ogletree, Ebonhide Sophomore. His concept is "serial monogamist with a specialty in dramatics, scowling and magical theory," which sums him up pretty well. He's here with his twin brother, Garrett, and his older sister, Tabitha. Gavin is a teen boy with quite a few faces up his sleeve; he can be seen as the charming chameleon when it comes to figures of authority, the intensely sullen academic holed up in the library or as the pathetic loverboy that many of his friends know him as. To the student body at large, Gavin is quite put-together and snobbish. He's charming when he needs to be, but otherwise would rather have nothing to do with people he doesn't need things from. To his friends, he's the big Negative Nancy of the group, pointing out every flaw in plans they come up with. He does have a playful side, which comes out with his close friends, and any of his many past ex-girlfriends. Gavin is known for constantly being in a relationship and ~in love~. He's that dude who puts his whole heart on the line for a gal he likes, and is usually annoyingly smitten in a relationship.

Needs: Well, an entire line of ex-girlfriends probably. Close friends. Academic rivals and/or people he actually trusts to study with him (come on, don't waste his time if you can't keep up :| ). Also, people from Dueling Club.

Next is Martina Fanning (smudging), Ribbonfin Sophomore. She's a beater on the Ribbonfin Quidditch team. Member of Archery and Equestrian Club, and a Member of Outdoor Exploration. Her concept is "bitchy farm girl with a side of shittalk and granola." Martina grew up living on a self-sustaining farm with her family. She was a scrappy fighter when it came time for school, and she was eventually sent to Magicrest as a means to sorting her out. She's a lot less physical now, but she talks some big game. She's self-sufficient to the point of stubbornness, causing her to be crap at asking for help. Marty is productive, independent and keen on asking intrusive questions because she can. Despite this, she's open-minded and although she's got quite the mouth on her, she's got friends from all over the social spectrum as she appreciates people who are unapologetically themselves. She's a great lover of the outdoors given her upbringing, and knows everything there is to know about plants and animals (only the ones she had on the farm) from fertilizer acidity to growth potions to healing broken bones. Other than this, she'll claim she knows little else, and desperately needs help with her schoolwork.

Needs: TUTORS: omg, she is so stubborn, but she needs the help, okay? Specifically in Potions and Transfiguration. I'm sorry, she's a little shit. FRIENDS from all over the social spectrum. She's hella loyal. QUIDDITCH BUDS. She's pretty rough and tumble, so she can't wait to get down and dirty with this crew~. HOOKUPS, PPL SHE'S FOUGHT/ARGUED WITH, OTHER.

Hey hey I'm Roz, welcome to the game!

So for Gavin, I have Solomon, who is also an ebonhide sophomore and his dormmate. And the literal opposite of gavin. Solomon is insanely optimistic and enthusiastic, and has probably been aggressively befriending Gavin since they met.

Chris, at this journal, knows of Gavin's sister, but he's not friends with her.

And for Martina, I also have Solomon, who shares classes and clubs with her, and is on the ebonhide quidditch team. But he's also aggressively befriended her too - whether she wants it or not. Plus he loves intrusive questions. He has so many questions, he will answer all the questions.

Then I have Chris, who is a senior coppertale, but he's also a beater for that team. And he judges people based entirely on how they play quidditch, so if she's scrappy as hell, he probably respects her. And dependent on how well they know each other (since it's a small school) - Cecil, the head boy, just suggested a transfiguration study group, so if Chris knows Martina well enough to know she needs help, he'll probably drag her to this study group. Probably aggressively, because's an aggressive individual. But she's also probably fought/argued with Chris. Because everyone has.

AND if you look here Chris, and Quinn who is a senior azurcrest prefect, have started a unofficial hockey league if either Martina or Gavin would like to join. You can join at any time. Also dependent on how well Chris knows Martina, he's probably began half his convos with her with 'have you signed up for hockey' for the last month. It's getting excessive.

Thanks, Roz!

L O L Solomon. This relationship is probably 70% Gavin sighing, but he truly needs someone to bother him into submission, so. PROPS TO YOU, DUDE. YOU DID IT.

Solomon, you will be a good friend to Martina if you too believe honesty is the best policy.

HAHA, oh boy. Chris, you will have to take her to that study group kicking and screaming (but, plz do, because she needs it, tbh). Is the basis of their relationship with each other just arguing??? Because, if so, I feel like if Chris told her to join the hockey, she would defiantly do the opposite. But, this would be a great place for her to channel extra energy, so maybe she ended up signing up because she lost a bet to him or something? Thoughts???

literally solomon talks enough for the both of them, it's okay Gavin, Solomon can read the obvious interest in your sighs, he'll keep going.

Chris WILL drag Martina to study group kicking and screaming (because he low key really cares about academics and believes everybody should be studying but he can't say that out loud because of this reputation). The study group might not appreciate that, but he already threatened to start a riot when he heard about a ban on pies, so it's fine. He has a reputation to maintain.

I think half the basis of their relationship will be arguing (half the basis of basically all of his relationships is arguing, and he feels uncomfortable when it's not) but he's also blunt as hell, so they also probably end up agreeing on shit, when it's them talking to other people? But if she does do the exact opposite of joining hockey, he will challenge her to a bet because he's competitive as hell. So we can still go with her losing a bet and him rewarding her with fun because hockey is about fun and injuries, Martina.

you know, that is actually comforting in a way. gavin is nowhere near as silent as his brother, but solomon is taking the effort out of this relationship and he could really work this to his advantage. look! he's ~socializing!~ and doing hw at the same time. b/c, you know, he doesn't need to respond much.

that is most likely how they became friendly, tbh? both of them arguing with /someone/ else and then joining forces. forces that probably should never be joined really. fun and injuries are her JAM, she's just a defiant little shit and now will show up with EYES ROLLING but ready to break some bones
