Because I have no sense of diversity.
For most of my characters, it's less about them dating and more about other kinds of relationships - friends (with benefits), rivals, enemies, etc. etc. Not to say that they aren't interested in hopping onto those ships because they are, but they can be pretty picky! Unfortunately. My Benedicite kids are included as well; also sorry for animu icons i'm too lazy to crop their irl FCs
Inigo Minhyung Stein •• IRL FC
Age: 14 · December 17th, 2038
Height/Weight: 5'2" · 103 lb
Orientation: Bisexual · 10% straight, 90% gay
House: Spring▸is happy that he's (barely) the tallest in the Sirens; would hurt his pride too much if he wasn't
No ship set in stone for him yet nor any friendships outside of the Sirens, but Inigo doesn't really know that he's more into the gay than he is with the straight yet. So for now, this Blank discriminator is interested in more mature women - taller than him (which is, unfortunately not hard), older than him, and they're someone serious to put a lid over his not-really-well-hidden rebellious side. He'll be on and off with relationships since he's not very good at committing to people, but he'll still keep up friendships with his ex's unless they really pissed him off. Please don't tease him about his height; that's a very sensitive spot. I think it'd be amusing if he became close friends with a Blank (without realizing they're Blank) to give him this crisis over whether he should still consider them friends or not because he's pretty racist. He likes people who are interested in music and flowers, but especially his music and flower-arranging. Despite his house placement, he's a sort of rebel who doesn't like following the rules and adorably tries to come off as a badass (and fails), but he's terrified of foreigners and change.
Bianca Lupo •• IRL FC
Age: 14 · June 15th, 2039
Height/Weight: 5'0" · 94 lb
Orientation: Bisexual · 75% straight, 25% gay
House: Summer▸apollo is best bro but everyone else is really cool too
She's going to have a sweet sweet slowburn with Nick later on. Outside of that though, I'm okay with Bianca kind of bouncing around! She'd be the sort of person who doesn't realize she's in a relationship with someone until they outright spell it out for her, and when they do, she's... very possessive. The sort to shower people in compliments and give them her undivided attention once she thinks they're worthy enough for such a treatment that she has exclusively used for her family, Bianca likes people who have combat or gaming skills. They also have to give good headpats because that makes her feel loved. She's surprisingly a good cook when she actually gets around to doing it, but please be wary that she's more likely to be one with nature pretty often. Don't talk poorly about her family because that guarantees a knife to the head-- I mean, the arm. For friendships, she's a closet gamer who probably plays games like Overwatch or CSGo and all of that. FPS is her jam and she's a camper, but she's always down for some good ol' Pokemon, Mario Party/Kart or Smash.
Judith Hyorin Parks •• IRL FC
Age: 17 · May 9th, 2036
Height/Weight: 5'0" · 94 lb
Orientation: Bisexual · 85% straight, 15% gay (mostly bicurious)
House: Autumn▸enemies with Georgia; you didn't pay for her shoes dammit
Hater of gifted with a desire to escape Beata ASAP but her surrogate father won't let her come back home until she learns to properly control her powers, Judith is extremely narcissistic. She's grown up getting whatever the hell she asks for (sometimes by force) and constantly boasts her wealth to other people. Designer brand clothes, expensive jewelry, and all of those sorts of things. It's unlikely for her to try and be friends with other students because they're the scum of the earth (as she would put it), and Judith is very petty about the littlest of things. Though she gives the impression of being one of
those popular girls, she's very studious and immerses herself in photography constantly. Judith absolutely craves attention and gets jealous easily, but she's also the kind of person who has a new significant other every week. She also likes the idea of "friends with benefits" and to an extent, she thinks money can buy friendships. More likely to make enemies than friends, but once you do, she's extremely tsundere but practically clings onto anyone who would offer her a hand in friendship.
Aine Riegel •• IRL FC
Age: 14-15? · ???
Height/Weight: 4'10" · 80 lb
Orientation: Asexual · Not Interested?
House: Winter▸Rose is a sweet girl that I'm going to regret hurting. pls forgive me icee
Aine's very "don't touch me" unless he initiates the physical contact, but it's hard to take him seriously when he's got a mask that displays goddamn kaomojis for his emotions. Don't take off his mask, especially without permission. Aine takes naps on trees/rooftops and moves at his own pace - he's basically a mischievous cat. As a self-proclaimed genius with a terrifying perceptiveness of others, he distances himself from others and shies away if they start prying. He's very aware of his faults and strengths, but doesn't think anyone could about him enough to be his friend, never mind love him; he thinks that friendships are too idealistic for an atrocious weapon like him. He'll be extremely slowburn with everyone while trying to be friendly, if not a bit of a childish sarcastic asshole; Aine doesn't have a single care in the world. Also, play games with him. Especially strategy games like chess or video games, but he'll wreck you and take it seriously because he hates losing. If you take people's lives for granted, that's a one-way ticket to his bad list. Eventually, he'll hopefully meet all the other tube kids?? Theo's supposed to have a crush on him until he finds out that Aine's... not a girl so lmao
Ha-neul Kim •• IRL FC
Age: 16 · January 27th, 2037
Height/Weight: 5'9" · 138 lb
Orientation: Asexual
House: Winter▸have mercy on him pls boston
Ha-neul's kind of spends a lot of time away from others because creepy shadows form from his negative emotions, so he doesn't do much to enjoy life besides going through the motions daily. He was a semi-popular celebrity back in Korea that suddenly went MIA after his brother died, relocating to Beata. Ha-neul doesn't like to attract any sort of attention and is a NEET who spends too much time scrolling through Esper since he has trouble talking to his classmates in-person. Sometimes, his great grandparents kick him out and tell him that he can't come back until he takes a walk for some fresh air since he spends too much time doing fancy paper-crafts/origami. In reality, he'll just go chill in the forest and play his violin to block out the noise. Ha-neul will randomly falling asleep or walk straight into light posts or screen doors because he's so tired (of everything). He'll interact with fellow former celeb Hye-Rin, but outside of that, he's another extremely slow-burn kiddo. I expect unrequited love for him, but he'll be happy that they're happy. Just break his poor heart. But also, he needs true friends one day.
Kaoru Sakakibara •• IRL FC
Age: 19 · February 29th, 2034
Height/Weight: 5'1" · 102 lb
Orientation: Heterosexual▸how did you make this coffee so perfectly? - to dante, probably
Kaoru is new to Rivers Pointe and the gifted community, so she'll come off on how people socialize here (because apparently stabbing people is normal /s). She overworks herself to make enough money to sustain herself independently; Kaoru takes working extremely seriously and doesn't give herself much of a breather. She's a bit nosy, a natural instinct she has from detective work, finding herself extremely curious about what others are thinking and what their lives are like. Where Aine has a natural understanding of people but refuses that he could ever understand anyone (and vice versa), Kaoru does her utmost to understand others and hopes she's decent at it by logically piecing things together. Her ship is set with Dante, but she can date others before then since she'll take 500 years to admit she likes this phantom thief. Past her serious nature, Kaoru is easily flustered and a closet gamer, but she's been ostracized and treated as nothing more than a child by her family and neighbors. She desperately tries to prove herself as a capable adult by sacrificing her own enjoyment and hobbies.
Yunnan "Yue" Lao •• IRL FC
Age: 21 · December 25th, 2032
Height/Weight: 5'6" · 123 lb
Orientation: Bisexual · 50% straight, 50% gay▸his sister is too good to him smh
Yue is a dirty Blank amnesiac who has difficulty forming new memories. He seems like a tired widower who can't remember people well. With how he speaks by telling people what color their voice sounds like, he's got his head in the clouds 24/7. Yue'll sleep under the bench of the park because he forgot how to get back home, so he settles for the second-best option. Something that he completely forgets is that he will have one-night stands with people on a semi-frequent basis. A gold mine of drama, honestly. Because he has memory problems, Yue is another slowburn since it'll take him a very long time to actually begin recalling people's faces or names. He's someone that requires patience to befriend because his friend/relationships with people are constantly brought back to square one. He talks lowly about himself frequently; he'll likely introduce himself with cruel nicknames people have called him before. Otherwise, he's an overly nice and polite guy who enjoys a nice cup of tea every day, regardless of the time or place. He'll be with Rowan eventually, but I'm fine with one-night stands for him.
