! introduction, x-player: caroline

Hi everyone! My name is Caroline. I'm 23 and I work at a ticketing software company, which is boring. You can friend me at mindread - I mostly use it for memes but also sometimes for fanmixes, TL;DRs, and the occasional update about my life but I suggest you skip that reading. Feel free to email me at caro.meade@gmail.com or IM me on AIM at kerokerokwa!

Luis (Pin) Pinheiro (compulsive). Ribbonfin Sophomore. Gaming, L.A.R.P., Outdoor Exploration. His concept is "Painter determined to expand your horizons - by whatever means necessary." Pin is an artist (mainly a painter), and he is so obsessed with art that he brings it around to him even when he's not actively creating a physical piece. He's a liar. Literally 90% of what he's saying to you is a lie. He never lies with malicious intent - he just likes embellishing reality so that he can bring whoever he is speaking with on an adventure - expand their horizons and get them thinking about things they wouldn't before. Even though he has done this to himself, he gets really angry when people don't listen to him when he's telling the truth. He's a pretty chill guy most of the time, always laughing, always talking to anybody that wanders into his path. People find him to be a grounding force because everything just rolls off of him, and he's actually sympathetic and a sound advice giver - but he gets impatient quickly when people are given a solution and opt not to take it so that they can continue to drown in their drama and get attention.

LINES: Friends? People who hate that he lies so much? Models for his paintings that let him run them around campus and stick them in weird poses? People who he has confessed falling in love with only to find out that was just one of his stories (see: lies)? People who hate him? Anything!

Diana (Di and only Di, thank you) Gam (tried). Ebonhide Sophomore. Choir, Drama, L.A.R.P. (IT'S LIKE MORE ACTING OK), Cheer Squad. Her concept is "An oversensitive actress who'd rather you keep your opinions to yourself." Di is a highly sensitive person who doesn't take criticism well - and really any kind of criticism, no matter how well-meaning it was. She is constantly trying to perfect herself and hearing people's negative opinions just adds another mile to her journey, so she goes out of her way not to prompt people for comments. Though she's friendly and she can carry on a conversation, you'll never find Di at the center of a crowd, you'll never identify her as the life of a party. She just wants to fly under the radar and avoid the judgment of her peers whenever possible. In opposition of that goal, she actually really loves to act and is very talented, so she ends up in the spotlight more often than not - but she does everything she can in her off-stage life to avoid attention. But don't take that to mean that she's not social - she is, she's just the person that is always there that you never really note is there.

LINES: Friends? People who thought they were going to be her friend, but then said something that she took as a critique and found that somehow the relationship turned cold? (She isn't open about when she's hurt, so it wouldn't be obvious). People she helps study, since she's a straight A student? Exes (she's heterosexual)? People who don't like her for whatever reason?

Hey Caroline! I'm Katie. Welcome to the game~

I'm giving something new a try (for my sanity; so many intros!!), so hopefully this is okay! I'll go into the basics of overlap and potential interactions below, but actual summaries for each of mine (if you're interested after the below) can be found here.

Cecil (

choneychurch): Cecil is an Azurcrest senior and Head Boy. He doesn't have a lot of overlap with either of yours, but he's a friendly and helpful guy that likes to take care of other people, so it's possible that he crosses paths with them from time to time and just big brothers at them, especially Di if she's ever outwardly stressed by her pursuit for perfection. He doesn't really approve of or actually understand Pin's constant lying, but he's also not that great at realizing he's being lied to, so he probably doesn't call him on it very often; just be nice to your fellow students, Pin, that's all he asks!

He's in Outdoor Exploration with Pin and Choir with Di. He's also on the Azurcrest Cheer Squad.

Casper (

casperkim): Casper's an Ebonhide junior and a prefect. He's also surly, highly negative, and just not the happiest fellow. He's Di's housemate, but has no other overlap with her and likely ignores her, though he has a sharp tongue and may say things that she finds to be less than flattering, so she probably doesn't like him much. He's not in any clubs with Pin either, but he'll be openly irritated if/when he catches him in a lie and probably tells him he's full of shit all the time. Neither of them probably see a ton of him and that's not a bad thing.

Cole (

colemoss): Cole is Pin's roommate! He's exceptionally talented both artistically and magically and he's at the top of their class without ever putting in much effort. Buuuut he's also a total space cadet. He often lives in his own head and he's scattered, socially awkward, and just bad at communicating. He's very naive, very passive, and very easy to manipulate...meaning that he'll believe everything Pin tells him. Uh oh. He likely doesn't realize that Pin's lying to him unless someone actually tells him. Despite all that, he probably likes him and wants to talk art and stuff. He would also like to know if Pin would like to paint murals on the cabin walls with him??? This is important.

Cole's only club is Drama, so he'd also know Di. He's pretty quiet during Drama and he works exclusively as a crew member, but he does some really outstanding work there and he likes everyone in Drama. He's doing the costumes, hair, and makeup for Midsummer, so he'll be working with Di on that. He'd never say anything to critique her on purpose, but because he can be awkward and blunt and say the wrong thing....he could be one of those people that got on her shit list and has no idea why he's there (or he might not even be aware that she dislikes him). Or they could be friendly. I'm happy either way! Just let me know what you think.

Ty (

tyhawkeswood): Ty is a senior Coppertale and captain of the Cheer Squad. He's a ball of energy, unapologetic enthusiasm, and playful nonsense...as long as you don't run into him outside of school. He's in L.A.R.P. with Pin and probably finds his constant lying pretty funny unless it gets mean. He's also in Drama and L.A.R.P. (...obviously) with Di and probably finds her cute as a button. Despite being on a 'rival' cheer squad, he probably likes her just fine. He's also a flirt...but, sadly, she might be a little too young for him.

Hi Katie!! Thank you. And omg that's TOTALLY FINE, introing your chars on intros is the MOST TIRING THING and so many people joined recently!!

Both Pin and Di will be nice! Di is definitely the kind to smother her emotions inwardly so I don't think he'd catch onto her being stressed out TOO often, but she appreciates Cecil as a person

Di wants to get 348967384967 lightyears away from him, immediately
Pin just laughs. Laughing. Laughing forever

Omg Pin is SO THERE FOR PAINTING MURALS. What Pin is really into right now (and what will probably be his senior project, but he still claims he has no idea what he wants to do) is experimenting with potions and herbs when making paints so that paintings literally hypnotize the people admiring them and draw them into an illusion-surrounded state where they experience the emotions the artist had while creating the portrait. He wants happiness all over their cabin please

I feel like he and Di could have been becoming friendly?? Because even though she's an actress, the stage usually calls to people with Big Personalities that like to Draw Attention so she's very likely to talk to the crew instead of her castmates at rehearsals and she appreciates quiet people. BUT then Cole said something and, being Di, she didn't react to it at that time but then suddenly they weren't talking anymore, as she does

Pin doesn't lie maliciously!! He'd probably feel bad if he ever hurt someone's feelings actually. THEY'RE RIDICULOUS LIES, so I think he and Ty can be friendly. Di thinks he's cool and is friendly! also THEY'RE ONLY TWO YEARS APART
