! introduction, player: cameron

HELLOO this is CAMERON i also have a character to intro bc yall dont see enough of me around here i guess lmfao sorry

this is cassius holcomb, coppertale sophomore. also known as cash, because cassius is a silly name. his concept is "overcompensating suburban kid shoots for the moon, lands amongst the dumpsters" and, well, that's it in a nutshell. he's here to join the OVERACHIEVERS CLUB, although, amusingly enough, not the goody-two-shoes club. cash won't push you under a bus, but he won't stop you from making a bad choice, either. he's perfectly willing to watch you eat shit so long as his face stays clean, especially if it helps him to get ahead. he's not a bad kid, though! he wants to be a nice boy, he's just acutely aware that it's a dog-eat-dog world.

cash comes from an almost parodically-suburban* nuclear family that was obsessed with keeping up with the joneses. cash inherited those sensibilities, but ruined it for his family when he came out as transgender at 13. his folks passive-aggressively ignore him entirely, and he's been essentially on his own ever since then. as a result, he's very into the concept of self-sufficiency; he never wants to have to scramble to figure things out again and he knows he can't rely on anyone else to do things for him.

he's always trying to make the grade, win the award, be the best... but sometimes his tendency to trip and fall into hijinx gets the way of his dreams. he might be trying to peddle you a pyramid scheme. c'mon, how can you say no to this face?

eta: ok, i mentioned that he was transgender but then i forgot to elaborate on how that might impact your characters. in summary.... they probably don't know, unless they guessed when he first came to school as a freshman (which is when he started taking testosterone. before that, well. 14 y/os are runty anyway.) or b/c cash resolutely will not go swimming.

he uses his Hard Earned Gainz to buy testosterone from unscrupulous dudes who sell to teenagers in gyms, which is not something anyone should do. to date, he has neither been caught buying nor taking his T (he stashes the used needles in a tin under his bed). theoretically, this could cause trouble down the line, since ... that looks sketchy af, lol. no, he won't ask for help from the school and also authority figures can suck his dick.

*sorry in advance if anyone is from hendrickson, nv, because i shit on it all the time in his app. i'm sure it's lovely! i hear it's very safe.

OKAY! If I wasn't ignoring you now, I would say that I'm back with an actual response. But since I am, you know. Here we are.

If I were actually replying, I would start by saying that Ana and he have SO MUCH IN COMMON with that whole 'parents steadfastly ignoring you' thing. She also tries to be the best, prove herself, be recognized, etc etc. She's a bit wilder than he is, a bit more attitude, and probably won't fall for those schemes OR THAT FACE, but she will get along with him, I think.

Vee likes everyone. She's the worst, I know. She would fall prey to that face, and appreciates those who want good grades and try hard. She's a year older, though. She's also just like, really friendly and peppy. How would he handle that????

Marilyn (

notmonroe; I link because I don't play her nearly enough and feel you might not know her name) is a junior and is super sweet and innocent and just I don't know if she'd have much cause to interact with him? Though she is good friends with Avery so if he hangs around Avery then, what up bro?

Milo! He's also a sophomore, and he's pretty chill with most things and people. Nothing bothers him or grosses him out, though he can be moody on occasion. And he's deaf, so, Cash might be like 'not worth the effort'

And last but not least, we have my doom cookie Ryan. He will not have an issue with Cash, but tbh he probably won't interact with him much either. But, I'm always up for randomness!!

Of course, that's all what would be said if I WASN'T ignoring you. :P
