Name: Dragon
Pronouns (just so I'm aware): She/Her
How you see the world: The world is a crazy place, filled with crazy things. There are some pretty bad people, but there's plenty of good people. too. I know this sounds kind of clichè, but I think that anybody can be a good person or better themselves if they try.
Positive Traits: I'm very friendly and love to put a smile on someone else's face. I'm pretty empathetic, and hate seeing other people upset. I'm also very persistent and won't give up on something until I get it right. I'd like to consider myself pretty reliable, and I'm great at keeping secrets.
Negative Traits: Like I said, I'm very persistent, which isn't always helpful. I do have a bit of an anger problem, and I'm not exactly the most patient person out there.
Hobbies and things you enjoy: I love reading, mostly fantasy and science-fiction. I also love art, listening to music, and singing. I like Disney, Marvel, and DC, and I absolutely love anime! I love animals, and I don't actually have a favorite color because they're all amazing! I also really like Studio Ghibli movies.
Things you don't enjoy: I don't like when people lie to me, and when people tell me things I don't want to know. I also really hate when people interrupt me and only listen to part of what I'm saying. I extremely dislike when people judge everyone based off of stereotypes.
How are you with people? I'm usually pretty good with people, but sometimes there are people that I just don't get along with. I love meeting new people and making friends, and I'm always willing to lend a helping hand.
Describe yourself in ten words or less: I'm a very friendly person.

Ik her, she's a really great best friend and I love her to death, yall should maybe make her your friend too because she'll change your life just like she changed mine 🤗😁

Name: Dragon
Pronouns (just so I'm aware): She/Her

Back at it again! You, my friend, sound a lot like Rome DeCatolico!

"I swear this is a good idea."

Rome is like a pitbull puppy; he looks super aggressive to those who don't know him, but he's a sweetheart and loves to lend a helping hand. He's passionate about what he does and would do anything for his friends. He's the sort to forgive you, even if you aren't sorry for what you did.

"Of course Jordan's alive! Because the universe just loves to throw us curveballs!"

Rome sees the world the way you do: there's a chance for everyone to be a good person. This proves to be a problem later in the story, but in the beginning, it's his best trait. He'll take in anyone who needs help, show them the right path. He just loves people in general.

"No, someone else should definitely take over, I haven't slept in 2 days."

Aesthetic: Bright red, dancing alone in the kitchen, laughter that hurts your stomach and you and your friends keep adding on and making you laugh harder, starry-eyed staring at a crush, golden retrievers, red carnations, ABBA songs

Name: Vulcan
Pronouns: They/Them

cue Chad voice WaSSUH dude! You've been paired with Ali Samul!

"I hope you can cry on cue, we're gonna need it right about now."

Ali is a mechanic with heavy trauma from his past. He's very quiet and only agrees to the job for the money. However, he quickly finds himself warming up to the rest of the group and is full of endless sarcastic comments. He keeps his head high throughout the book, even when he's shot, threatened, discriminated against, and loses the money he needed to live. He's very protective of his friends as well.

"If you touch him again, I'll rip your throat out."

Ali thinks the world is cruel and unforgiving and has no reason to try and save anyone in it. Against his own personal will, he gains a family and people to care for.

"Not a dead end until they kill me!"

Aesthetic: Steampunk, pockets filled with spare parts, playful teases, sarcastic comments muttered from across the table, metallic colors, oil staining dark skin, a triumphant grin, teaching someone how to dance

Name: Lee
Pronouns (just so I'm aware): Any

Lee! I love your name so much, also you've been paired with Milo Wood!

"If this were a real duel, you'd be disqualified."

Milo tries to be quiet and calm, but he's one to snap when he gets angry, and it gets scary. He acts more with his emotions than his head, but it's worked okay so far. He can overanalyze what people say to him, but overall he's a cool person to just sit quietly with.

"I'm surrounded by idiots and I'm stuck here for another 8 months."

Milo sees the world much the way you do. Whenever he hears of a new disaster, he has to see it from every angle and side to fully understand it. He tries to look past his analysis of the world, but it can be hard to put the world on pause.

"Sorry, could you repeat that? I was too busy planning Florian's murder."

Aesthetic: Warm summer mornings, sparring all day and well into the night, deep brown, climbing onto the roof just to sit, laughing even though the joke wasn't funny, soft cello, blushing at any compliment, rivals to lovers

Name: Dara (like Sara but with a D)
Pronouns: She/they
How you see the world: It is kind of complicated. A good part of me sees the world as hell and complete shit. We put trust in people who are supposed to protect us but then they just take advantage of their titles and badges. There's a lot of terrible things, and yet at the same time I believe that the world is not completely bad. There are some good things and when you take away all the terrible things, it's very beautiful.
Positive Traits: I am an incredibly loyal person; I have some maternal qualities and always looking after others if you catch my drift. Compassionate and motivating. I am a flexible person who loves to learn a lot of things from pop trivia to obscure details about countries.
Negative Traits: Despite always being there for others, I'm rarely ever there for myself. I bottle thoughts and feelings up then try to take care of them on my own when I'm alone. Whenever I mess up or fail, I am very self-critical. I let my depression and anxiety take course of myself.
Hobbies and things you enjoy: Well there's reading, writing, listening to music, watching k-dramas, marching band, and all that fun stuff. I love history, music/k-pop, thrillers, vampires, classical literature, being around others, swimming, and fencing.
Things you don't enjoy: There's people who are arrogant and aren't accepting of others. I also hate heights, math, feeling of chalk, social gender roles, and Hallmark movies.
How are you with people? Very good. I am a people person so generally it's easy for me to get along with others. I may get shy around those I don't know, but I will warm up to them as time goes on.
Describe yourself in ten words or less: Anxious and compassionate but ready to take on the world.

Name: Dara (like Sara but with a D)
Pronouns: She/they

Oh MAN are you David Garnier! (yes I already matched someone else with him, but that's okay! Different people can vibe with the same character!) (also I'm running out of characters) (but don't worry I'm gonna be creative with this answer)

TW: Mentions of manipulation/abuse

"Take one more step and I'll shoot you."

David is intensely loyal, to the point where it's his fatal flaw. He doesn't leave anyone, even when he's being manipulated and abused. He cares for everyone, and is very passionate about his work. He loves to talk, to info-dump about whatever he's working on.

"Where's Rome? Oh, dead. That's right. I forgot."

David sees the world the way you do–corrupted and shitty for most of it, unless you've trained yourself to see it differently. He's been betrayed over and over again by those he trusts and still finds himself trusting again. He's not naive or stupidly desperate–he just thinks everyone deserves a chance.

"Your powers are all so cool! Healing, mind reading, talking to animals! I just got crackly fingers."

Aesthetic: Electric blue, lightning splitting the sky in half, swearing loyalty, streetwear, taking apart computers just to see how they work, crying when you're mad, the transition from winter to spring, little buttons, dyed hair

@knightinadream :0 fellow David!!

Ooh, why this sounds quite interesting!

Name: Fenris
Pronouns: She/they
How you see the world: Falling apart and on the brink of collapse. Global warming, ice caps melting, the ocean and land is on fire, pandemics, etc., etc. In conclusion it is a hellhole. I'd prefer to stay in my own world of writing, thank you very much.
Positive Traits: I'm extremely loyal, maybe to the point of overexerting myself. I'm caring and always labeled as the 'mom friend' who listens to everyone's problems. I'm a good listener and can remember the smallest detail about people, because I know that it makes them feel heard and important. I like to consider myself as someone who is creative and determined. If I set my mind to something, I can get it done.
Negative Traits: First off, I'm stubborn asf. I hate doing what I am told and will do the opposite if someone tells me to do something. I'm introverted, which I do not see as a negative trait, but many do. I'm also quite naïve. I never realize when people are using me until it's too late for me to back out of a friendship. I also have a horrible habit of feeling guilty for everything. Even when I am not one to blame, I always point the problem to myself. Pessimist.
Hobbies and things you enjoy: Swimming, writing, walking, reading, drawing, collecting random items like leaves, shells, and rocks, video games, discovering new music, and cooking/baking. I also really love putting all my blankets into the dryer and heating them up, then just curling up in them (I'm freezing. All the time).
Things you don't enjoy: Homework of any kind, math, talking to people I don't know well, being forced to socialize, summer, large crowds, and people talking while music is playing.
How are you with people? Eh, depends on the person. If it's someone that I don't particularly like, I'll probably avoid them and ignore them. If it's someone I do like, I don't mind talking or hanging out with them. Although, I will not go out of my way to chat with people. Especially if it will result in small talk.
Describe yourself in ten words or less: Introverted mom friend.

Aww I love him so much! Thank you :D

(SORRY THIS IS SO LONG I RAMBLE SO MUCHH)

Name: chey

Pronouns: She/her

How you see the world: I don't think about it much honestly. I would say I'm a master in avoiding thinking about serious things haha. I think the world is confusing for sure. There are good and bad aspects, but I don't think it really matters what the entire world is like, I'd rather just focus on my life I guess. I dunno it's hard to explain my way of thinking.

Positive Traits: I think modest, it was the first thing to come into my mind after thinking that I probably don't have any exceptionally good traits haha. I don't really like to brag is all, I'd rather not be the center of attention. Im pretty carefree even in typically stressful situations, maybe because I just dont worry about certain things (such as deadlines and stuff.) I think I might be friendly and kind, I always think about others even if I don't know them, and I put their needs before mine. I mostly do this because I know how it feels to be i those kinds of situations, like when you don't know what youre supposed to be doing, and I wouldn't want that for other people. I personally don't think so but a lot of people say Im funny (although I seem very dry online ahbsdjsdf)

Negative Traits: Despite what I said about putting others before me, I am actually pretty selfish. Its weird though because I only act this way around certain people, such as people I am closer with such as family, meanwhile with strangers and rather selfless. I have no idea why. I'm also pretty manipulative and I get upset easily and tend to get violent or aggressive, all things I'm trying to work on (like I said earlier, I only act this way around family, I guess I have more pressure to be a good person around people I don't know as well?) I can get very paranoid at random times and i can be pretty anxious in public. I'm socially awkward too so I dont really talk much, its kinda like a Id much rather be alone then be at a party kind of thing lol

Hobbies and things you enjoy: Drawing!! I love drawing and writing and hope to make some type of comic one day (preferably web comic haha) I also love video games and technology in general, things like digital design and stuff. I loveeee music and want to learn how to play the piano. I would love to learn how to play Reverie.

Things you don't enjoy: Being outside, I really don't like being hot and itchy from bugs or grass (I live in a very hot and sunny place.) Being in a large group of people, its kinda overwhelming. I really don't like loud noises and I can get irritated from them easily. I also dont like sports or active things, mostly because I was told from a very young age that I am absolutely horrible at sports, and again because I dont like being outside. I also dont like being touched, it just makes me kinda uncomfy haha

How are you with people?: Id say im pretty good around new people. i dont really like being around lots of people becaues it makes me self concious though. Although I probably wont be the one to start a conversation, i do try my best to keep one going to avoid awkwardness. i love making friends but i dont really know how to lol

Describe yourself in ten words or less: awkward girl trying to have fun

How you see the world: its a place and we do what we want w it except not doing carbon emissions would be nice

Negative Traits: a bit too cool ok but if were serious I'm kinda impulsive and kinda self conscious sometimes

Hobbies and things you enjoy: art, buying stickers, music in general, photography, piano/keyboard

Things you don't enjoy: math, my handwriting, arguing, asking for stuff

How are you with people? im ok but it depends on whether I know them.
