! introduction, x-player: lee

Hey people! I'm Lee, 27, working in the glory of quick service (i.e. fast food) in Nebraska until I finish my legal studies degree. Yes, my life is as boring as it sounds. I just have the one ~~so far~~:

XAVIER LEWIS, RIBBONFIN SENIOR

Concept: Easily distracted disaster of a mad scientist lurks in the trees.

Classes: Charms, Hermeticism, Outdoor Education, Potions, Transfiguration, Artificing, Astronomy, Defense, Magical Rudiments

Clubs: Gaming, Outdoor Exploration, LARP, Quidditch Reserve

Xav's parents founded what's usually called "Squib School" and he basically went there from birth through eighth grade, so school's a way of life to him. Don't take him for a serious academic or overachiever, though he is brilliant - he's also a complete mess of a person who has littered half-made treehouses all around Gooseberry, most of them stocked with his abandoned research projects. It's a toss up over what will happen first: him blowing himself up, or creating a sentient blob that tries to take over the world. Either way, people will be entertained. He's also an adrenaline junkie, and tends to fall asleep pretty much anywhere other than his bed.

Lines! Friends, especially one or two who can be his keepers and keep him from wandering into the river or sleeping on the roof. Serious academics who he's pissed off with his scatterbrained ways. Other NYC kiddos he could have met at various middle school competitions/get-togethers. idk, EVERYTHING, I'm brain dead right now.

Hiii! I'm JJ. Welcome ~

YAY for more Ribbonfins. Senior Ribbonfins can now FORM VOLTRON!

I have a quick intro to my four characters here!

Ivy's my Ribbonfin senior. She's definitely an academic type, but it doesn't really bother her when other people aren't (low-key she's a little competitive about these things so the fewer people making better grades than her the better). But she might be a little frustrated if he's super smart and squandering his potential because she's feeling that way about herself and projecting your problems on other people is always fun. They're in some classes and gaming club together!

Clementine (

neattrick) is a Quidditch player and that's like her whole identity. She's always kind of up in the other Quidditch players' business because they're her primary social circle and also because IT'S WHERE THE OTHER ADRENALINE JUNKIES LIVE. Whaddup. She's probably into his treehouse thing if he'd show her where they are.

Reece (

thingamabobbs) is a New York kid! He went to a stuffy private high school that's the magic equivalent of an Ivy League feeder school but maybe they do know each other from, idk. After school activities? He's also a gadget inventor and scatterbrained himself so they might get along if they can like focus on each other for 5 seconds. He's also in LARP!

And Ariadne (

deimons) is a Sophomore in a different house and also awful so they probably don't interact too much

Hi JJ! I'm happy to be here! Also, I am reluctantly intrigued by giant Voltron fish and wish to subscribe to your newsletter.

Xav is definitely not competition for Ivy, he's a pretty solid B student overall because he only cares about grades as long as they're good enough to do what he wants (i.e. in some classes he may have purposefully aimed at the lowest possible grade required to get into the junior/senior classes). He doesn't personally see it as squandering his potential, but I wouldn't be the least surprised if she did!

He's more than happy to point Clementine to the treehouses, at least the ones he actually remembers the locations of. And he's always up for adrenaline junkie hijinks!

Reece and Xav could totally know each other from after school activity type things before Gooseberry. Xav's school had a very low magical student population, so I imagine they did a lot of cross-school projects and events with the other NYC schools. And I'm starting to think there should be a special mad genius laboratory on campus. Xav volunteers to build one in the trees!
