Astra: doom-and-gloom pessimistic emo.
K.T.: little ball of sunshine.
Asuki: strong but silent type.
Dye'a: curious as hell, doesn't know how humans work.
Sai'ya: desperately needs a nap, gambles away actual money through online poker games and regrets it the next morning.
Zira: would destroy you for joking about her family, going to the gym is serious business for her.
Astra: doom-and-gloom pessimistic emo.
She and Virgil Sanders could be friends. She definitely needs a hug though. Please give her some love.
K.T.: little ball of sunshine.
(idk their pronouns, so apologies in advance) And they can be the one to give Astra a hug. I feel like they just kinda give everyone hugs, regardless of who they are. I feel like they also might have a sweet tooth.
Asuki: strong but silent type.
Bro, why do all of your characters require hugs? What have you put them through? (that's no offense to you, I'm sure you're a fantastic writer) Probably hides their feelings from everyone they care about and then will kinda boil over when things get to be too much.
Dye'a: curious as hell, doesn't know how humans work.
Another hug-giver! Gives off golden retriever energy and probably extremely hyper-active.
Sai'ya: desperately needs a nap, gambles away actual money through online poker games and regrets it the next morning.
Please take a nap, bro. Naps are good. Sleep is healthy. They may need therapy and friends to keep their sleep schedule on track. Also hugs.
Zira: would destroy you for joking about her family, going to the gym is serious business for her.
Ooh, she could kick my ass and I'd thank her. Probably not straight and I respect her. She also can give hugs but they're probably extremely intense and they might break someone's ribs.
here's my dudes, do what you will
frog: their name is their personality (they/them)
dick: that one gay tenor that all of the girls were friends with (he/him)
juniper: gives off the vibe of a put-together dude but is actually extremely burnt out (he/they)
shiloh: her personality is monster energy: ultra violet (she/her)
vanessa: big strong lesbian and could crush a watermelon with her thighs, no problem (she/they)
alex: chaotic demon man and shouldn't be trusted (he/they)
here's my dudes, do what you will
juniper: gives off the vibe of a put-together dude but is actually extremely burnt out (he/they)
shiloh: her personality is monster energy: ultra violet (she/her)
I hope you don't mind me just doing these two. Juniper sounds like he'd be my favorite here. I love formal, prim and proper characters. Shiloh also sounds pretty neat. I'm not sure if you're talking about "monster" as in the energy drink, but that name is cool. I'm assuming that means she's energetic but also tires quickly (like she "crashes"). Maybe she's a big extrovert and wants to make friends but can't interact with others for long? Nice characters overall.
Here are two of my characters.
Stephen: 30 years old, a perfectionist, he does science in his basement, and his goal is to push the limits and discover something new. Happily married to Chelsea.
Chelsea: 31 years old, a writer, she also bakes as a hobby, and her goal is to be a successful author and make close bonds with others. Happily married to Stephen.
Thanks! :)
Astra: doom-and-gloom pessimistic emo.

Astra definitely needs a hug, although, Astra is actually a guy, I gave him a girl's name for irony.
K.T.: little ball of sunshine.
(idk their pronouns, so apologies in advance) And they can be the one to give Astra a hug. I feel like they just kinda give everyone hugs, regardless of who they are. I feel like they also might have a sweet tooth.
K.T. is a girl, sorry for not putting proper pronouns! You're pretty spot on with this one.
Asuki: strong but silent type.
Bro, why do all of your characters require hugs? What have you put them through? (that's no offense to you, I'm sure you're a fantastic writer) Probably hides their feelings from everyone they care about and then will kinda boil over when things get to be too much.
I put them through alot, 😂 you're once again spot on with this guess.
Dye'a: curious as hell, doesn't know how humans work.
Another hug-giver! Gives off golden retriever energy and probably extremely hyper-active.
Yep! That's her alright, she's hyperactive and very clingy to people she likes.
Sai'ya: desperately needs a nap, gambles away actual money through online poker games and regrets it the next morning.
Please take a nap, bro. Naps are good. Sleep is healthy. They may need therapy and friends to keep their sleep schedule on track. Also hugs.
Naps are fantastic, but she mostly substitutes them with coffee, and she's actually in a team with the other characters, she's just a bit distant.
Zira: would destroy you for joking about her family, going to the gym is serious business for her.
Ooh, she could kick my ass and I'd thank her. Probably not straight and I respect her. She also can give hugs but they're probably extremely intense and they might break someone's ribs.
She totally could and probably would 😅 she's straight, but she grasps the concept of love as well as a child would. She has a bit of motherly instinct, so hugs sound about right, but she would probably be embarrassed about it.
Okay:
Naomi: She/her. AKA "Ned." Disabled and severely traumatized military veteran. Bi disaster. Grumpy. Can either be your best friend, or wreck your day from a mile off.
CJ: He/him. Former Navy medic, prankster, likes to hide his trauma under humor. Also a bi disaster, and likes big dudes.
Brandee: She/her. Tiny. Irascible. Can repair or drive just about any vehicle. Has a zillion tattoos.
Kieron: He/him. Absolute unit of an aspiring strength athlete. Works event security as his day job. Eats like a bear preparing to hibernate and lifts like a freight elevator. Sweet and naïve.
Here's some characters from another story if ya'll wanna check them out:
Bella Bewforest: She/her, loves historical fiction, would do anything for her friends.
Yu-jin Gim: She/her, devil-may-care type of gal, would be a great friend to share a beer with.
Claude Cherwood: He/him, lies about his net worth, would start fires to earn some attention.
Rin Honda: She/her, sees the worst in any plan you come up with, dirty jokes and/or pervy references are the bane of her existence.
Nicole Thompson: She/her, the only sane one in the group, 100% would trust her with taking care of children.
Stephen: 30 years old, a perfectionist, he does science in his basement, and his goal is to push the limits and discover something new. Happily married to Chelsea.
He seems kinda mad scientisty, but not the immoral, crazy type. Very dedicated to his work, but still finds time to spend with his wife. Patient, calm, and the smartest guy you'll ever meet. Stays up late working on sciencey stuff, so he probably desperately needs a nap. Loves tea.
Chelsea: 31 years old, a writer, she also bakes as a hobby, and her goal is to be a successful author and make close bonds with others. Happily married to Stephen.
A living ray of sunshine! Enthusiastic about almost everything, and very encouraging of her husband's work (even if she's a little apprehensive about it). Tries her best to be optimistic, even if it can be difficult at times. Outwardly confident, but that's just because she hides her inner doubts. Great sense of humor. Loves lemonade.
N E ways these are my whores. There's a lot so do however many you want
Finch: An ego the size of Jupiter and a personality as fake as the moon landing /j (He/Him)
Jules: Studious and grumpy and— Oh no now they're killing someone (They/Them)
Cyprien: Quiet but manic and basically the group's pet (He/Him)
Lupo: Excitable son of a P.I. with confusing, skewed morals (He/Him)
Teddy: Petty but lovable dork who pretends to have a brain (He/Him)
Micah: A weed-smoking art student with pink and mint hair (He/They)
Gwen: A feral lesbian with anxiety and a crude sense of humor (She/Her)
Finch: An ego the size of Jupiter and a personality as fake as the moon landing /j (He/Him)
Would not draw the line at stolen valor. Would act mystified if people were especially outraged at it. Oblivious to being smiled and nodded at, or to when someone is trying to quietly exit a conversation. Everyone else privately calls him Birdbrain. (If I misread the punchline of "as fake as the moon landing," I apologize.)
Cyprien: Quiet but manic and basically the group's pet (He/Him)
Wanders around like a curious kitten when not supervised, for approximately the same reason. Squirmy. Has a sweet tooth.
Teddy: Petty but lovable dork who pretends to have a brain (He/Him)
Keeps using that word. It never means what he thinks that it does. Collects Cliffs Notes.
Micah: A weed-smoking art student with pink and mint hair (He/They)
Always has paint (or clay, or something else relevant to his favorite medium) under his nails. Probably owns a lava lamp. Lives on chips and dip.
Gwen: A feral lesbian with anxiety and a crude sense of humor (She/Her)
Can burp louder than anyone else in the cast. Bites her nails. Gets completely and utterly tongue-tied around pretty ladies.
Here are my children
…And these two

No worries, you didn't misread it! You almost nailed him perfectly, but he's actually the opposite of being oblivious to smiles and nods. He takes any amount of warmth as a sign that the person has crush on him and he will go on to obsess over that person as a result lol.

This one is scarily accurate. Literally one of his most notable character quirks is that he always carries around gummy worms.
Keeps using that word. It never means what he thinks that it does. Collects Cliffs Notes.
Also scarily accurate! There's actually an entire scene where he keeps misusing the word 'contrived', but nobody corrects him on it because almost all of them are idiots and don't know what it actually means (and the one character that does know is just amused by it).
Always has paint (or clay, or something else relevant to his favorite medium) under his nails. Probably owns a lava lamp. Lives on chips and dip.
Replace chips and dip with microwave taquitos and it's spot on!
Can burp louder than anyone else in the cast. Bites her nails. Gets completely and utterly tongue-tied around pretty ladies.
Absolutely! She's the prime example of a bruh girl and hangs out mostly with dudes, not just because she's tomboyish, but because she doesn't want pretty ladies to think her humor is immature and gross.

Wow, you are very close for both of them! Thank you so much for replying. :D
- Jay: Sad bitter snarky boi who lost his mom to a cult at early teens and now murders thugs & mobsters (He/Him)
Keeps a photo of his mom on his person at all times. Has nightmares. Often tells beaten foes that he'll make it quicker than they deserve.
- Min: Sweet girl who likes to build robots & machines, also forms a superhero team (She/Her)
Insatiably curious. Goes through a lot of protective gloves; nonetheless has scarred hands, perpetually greasy nails, and a faint lingering scent of CLP.
- Alyx: Cheerful memelord gal who can turn invisible (She/Her)
Punster, punster, punster.
- Nuru: Clone of a deceased cult leader, ran away and lived in hiding since then (She/Her)
Deliberately makes herself look as different from her "original" as possible.
- Clawe: Cunning mob boss, main antagonist (He/Him)
Affably Evil. Snappy dresser. Always has an alibi, the jerk.
- Eva: Scientist specialized in genetic engineering & cloning (She/Her)
Ambiguous motives. Somewhat amoral, but has lines that she will draw. Will go on a long nerdy rant if you express curiosity about what she does.
(Ever so slightly disappoint that these dorks have not yet been tackled.)

Got it right with Jay keeping a photo of his mom 👌
Tho he also has a brother (who got taken in by the cult) so he's in the photo too
…And Jay too, younger
It's a photo from the happier days TwT
As for Nuru, I do have in mind for her to get a facial plastic surgery (or something) in the story's resolution
As for Eva having her moral limits, I did once briefly think, "say, she's a baddie and sides with Clawe, but how about towards the end of the story he goes too far with the evilness (or backstabs Eva) and she's like "I'm done" and acts against him?"
also what's CLP >_>
also what's CLP >_>
It stands for "cleaner, lubricant, propellant." Basically: it's gun oil.
But while I'm sure one uses gun oil when building and fixing battlebots? I think what I had in mind was more along the lines of industrial lubricant. You know…too neutral to be called a "chemical reek," but definitely a "synthetic oil" smell.

Oh, ok
Adisa: daddy issues (cuz he's dead), stoner, but best friends with the most popular girl in school (she/her)
Flora: most popular girl in school, or close to it. Filthy rich, african american, cheerleader, but has a dark side (she/her)
Uri: hopeless romantic, loner, fascinated by humans (he isn't one) brutally honest (he/they)
Adisa: daddy issues (cuz he's dead), stoner, but best friends with the most popular girl in school (she/her)
Prefers indica strains; only recently found out the difference. Was close to her father, but his sudden death left a conflict permanently unresolved between them. Ever so slightly envious of anyone with two parental figures. Gets weed money from Flora on occasion, always at Flora's urging.
Flora: most popular girl in school, or close to it. Filthy rich, african american, cheerleader, but has a dark side (she/her)
Compulsive exerciser and possibly orthorexic. Drinks below the legal age. Slips Adisa weed money on occasion, but has to talk her into taking it. Knows that some big fish at the country club are low-key racist; convinced that she wouldn't be believed. Self-destructive intrusive thoughts and the occasional revenge fantasy. Still manages to maintain golden-child façade via style and guile.
Uri: hopeless romantic, loner, fascinated by humans (he isn't one) brutally honest (he/they)
Doesn't really grasp informal speech. Spies on people out of curiosity.

This is terrifyingly accurate, my god. Adisa was very very close to her dad before he died. She's super jealous that Flora has both her parents still and voices that constantly. "Don't take them for granted" I never thought about the weed money thing, but now that you mention it, will be added in.
Flora exercises for "fun." Drinks a lot at parties with Adisa, they're both seniors in high school so yes, very illegal. I'll probably make her put money in Adisa's wallet when she's not looking. Definitely right with the dark thoughts thing, and her parents have NO idea.
I- Yes.
