WELCOME TO ATLAEA
Welcome to modern day Atlaea; if you're here, it means you have the powers of a pokemon inside of you. We advise that you apply to the university and start your training in one of four subjects: battling, coordinating, healing, or pokemon history and begin your journey towards becoming the very best like no one ever was!
KIRLIA - 18 - HISTORY - 2ND - APP HET - SINGLE - STUDIOUS - WEALTHY
Kirsten was one of those kids that went a little TOO wild in college. She should've been a perfect student, but she ended up partying a bit too much. Long story short: she's now on academic probation, and she spent summer in rehab. She's clean now and 100% focused on pulling her grades up--not just because she has to, but also because she doesn't want to go down in history as the Fay twins' incredibly imperfect little sister.
FRIENDSHIPS.
Friends that she made last year will remember Kirsten as a girl that loved to go out dancing and boozing. Her friends probably shared her hobbies of spending nights out and maybe disregarding school entirely. I'd love for her to have some good friends that're worried about her? She's keeping rehab a secret, and she's basically stopped talking to anybody she considers a distraction. New friends are also welcome, of course!
ENEMIES.
Kirsten probably doesn't have very many beyond ex-boyfriends? She's very much attuned to other people's emotions, so she's unhappy when she's making other people unhappy. That makes her avoid conflict, and she does her best to stay on everyone's good side. If she doesn't like you or if she's afraid of making someone mad, she'd just avoid them altogether.
RELATIONSHIPS.
Oh boy. Kirsten's made very many bad decisions, and I'm sure many of those were all about relationships! I've noted in her app that she already has a reputation for bad break-ups, so give me some bad break-ups. </3 As a girlfriend, she's very eager to please. In fact, as a stranger, she's also very eager to please, which means she's easy prey for womanizers and smooth talkers.
FAMILY.
ABIGAIL FAYandrew fay where my fam at broskis <3 Also, Ralts is still available, if you want to be the baby of the Fay family!
Altair is a quiet, artistic boy that goes out of his way to help other people out. He's a doormat, but he doesn't mind people stepping all over him. Outside of doing charity and community work, he's best known as the lead guitarist for Voice of Rain, a band with some other students. He pretty much lives for music.
FRIENDSHIPS.
He's not unfriendly, and he's probably on good terms with most of his classmates (re: he'll help with anything you ask of him). That being said, he only feels comfortable when he's hanging out with his bandmates. He's too shy to be completely at ease with other people.
ENEMIES.
If he's made any enemies, it's one-sided. Altair, despite being a combat major (he's a tank! he just wants to protect people!), has no interest in conflict. He's not even interested in rivalries.
RELATIONSHIPS.
Open for past and future relationships. He'd be a very sweet boyfriend. Sex would be all about you. There shouldn't have been very many past relationships, and I'm most open to the idea that he's been going steady with someone for a while now?
FAMILY.
Swablu, anybody?

Hello little sister~ So there wasn't really much of an established plot between them, at least not properly discussed, so I figure I might as well take the opportunity.
I don't think it's too far-fetched to say their relationship is a bit strained, what with her always being compared to the twins, having a difficult time measuring up to them, and I doubt they really had the time to connect because I have a feeling their parents were pretty strict about them always working to be perfect so there was probably little family time to be had. Andrew does care about her, believe it or not, and hates to think that she holds any grudges towards him for how their parents put Abigail and him up on a pedestal. Course, at the same time he couldn't very well blame her for it and tries his best to make up for it when he can (which unfortunately is probably not too often with such a busy schedule).
He wants to have a good relationship with her if she'd allow it and I have no doubt he roots her on behind the scenes and watches out for any bad behavior (don't want her relapsing or anything). Course if she does have harsh feelings towards him, she might not take his concern the right way and consider it him patronizing her which could always lead to some tasty drama.
Overall, protective older brother looking out for her the best he can, whether she likes it or not!
Deep down, Kirsten respects and admires her brother. She just doesn't show it. Ever. And there's a huge grudge too. There's sibling love in there, but there's a lot of sibling hate, mixed in with petty teenager on top of that to boot.
Yeah, she'd respond badly to any support he provides. Besides seeing it as patronizing, she doesn't want to need any help? She wants to be all grown up, like Andrew and Abbii, and she's pretty convinced she's supposed to do everything on her own. She interprets his support as him thinking she needs a handicap.
If she's having serious trouble though, I think if she's at wit's end, she might go look for him and ask for a hug. And then peace out and pretend it never ever happened!!!
Andrew will take what he can get! Though he'll still try and get her to lose the grudge by trying to make it seem less like a competition (which probably is difficult with their oh so loveable parents <3) But as much as he'd like it to be easy, I think he knows she needs her time and space and that pushing her will only make her distance herself more. Still, he's her big brother! He's not going to be able to just leave her alone, it's his job to be overprotective at times and always looking out for her.
But yeah, he can understand the whole not needing help thing. That might just be a family thing though. The Fays seem to be very prestigious and charity is probably not wanted or appreciated by any of them. But he's still gonna do it anyway because fuck that lol
I think it'd be cute if the hugging thing happened enough that he knew the drill. Like every time she ever approached (cause she probably never goes seeking him out for anything), he'd know something was up and open his arms up for her. No words, just hugs cause he knows she wont talk about it with him.
MARIAN && Altair Deangelo — excuse me while i cry over altair’s fc.
anyway… marian and altair are both in jasper’s band, so they’re connected. haha. honestly, marian is like the exact opposite of altair; he’s loud and energetic and tends to cause a commotion. he doesn’t mean any harm tho… unless you’re not his friend… because then he can be really… not cute. i’m pretty sure marian is all for dragging altair outside of his comfort zone and for being a loveable pest. idk if he’s more like a child or an attention starved puppy. HE JUST WANTS TO HAVE FUN WITH HIS FRIENDS AND MAKE COOL MUSIC. he could prob drive them all insane if left to his own devise for too long tho. needs a babysitter 24/7.
regardless, they’re also in the same year and studying the same major, so i was thinking that they should team up for double battles??? altair is the defense while marian is the offense. they combine their skills and try for the best results possible. for them anyway. idk if marian could be serious when paired with a friend. he’d be trying to make altair laugh for half of the battle.
idk what i’m even trying to say. orz
GABRIEL && KIRSTEN FAY — for some reason, i see kristen and gabriel being on good terms??? gabriel is older than kristen and could tutor her if she ever needed assistance. it’d be really easy since they’re got the same major, and gabriel finds history to be fascinating and tends to have most of the information memorized. idk if she needs that tho. tbh… i just thought their personalities seemed compatible, and gabriel would be a stark contrast to her former friends and could be a good sounding board for her if she needed to vent.
he’s there to help basically. like… he can be super sweet and just needs a few friends that he feels comfortable around… even if that friend is someone that he’s looking after in his spare time??? idk… i think they’d have some adorably awkward interactions.
Alas, good parenting was not quite a thing the Fay familly has. Or maybe it does, Andrew and Abigail ended up great. On the upside though, at least Andrew doesn't have to worry about Kirsten and horrible relationships!
He can pester Altair all he wants! Altair is 100% a doormat, and he won't mind, although he'll probably try to get Marian to put his energy into something a bit more meaningful--but then again, if Marian's having fun and not hurting anybody, who's he to judge?
Altair is pretty laid-back about his classes anyway, and he'd feel much better having a friend as a battle partner. They'll work great together! Or, uh, maybe not great, but at least both of them ought to be content lol.
Anyway, I assume because they're on the band together, they've known each other for a pretty long time and are old friends. Altair puts up with anybody's shit without complaining, but for a friend, he probably doesn't even notice Marian's more obnoxious habits anymore lol.
Hmm, maybe the uni gave her an upperclassman as a mentor? Since she's on probation (but not for long at the rate she's going), I think it'd make sense for them to assign a departmental mentor/baby-sitter to make sure she's doing okay. He'd probably be one of the few people that know the whole story, besides her family, in that case.
Either way, they could totally have been friends imo! Kirsten used to do her best to get along with everybody, so she would've been super nice, even if she ran with a rather different crowd most of the time. You're right that she probably doesn't need regular tutoring, but I bet she could go to him for more confusing chapters and such.
MARIAN && Altair Deangelo — altair, you should not just accept marian’s craziness. you’ll only encourage him.
but yea, marian wouldn’t treat altair like a doormat unless he’s forcibly dragging the other somewhere. like… he cares too much about his friends to completely disregard their feelings. he’s okay with sometimes disregarding their feelings in the name of wholesome fun. hahaha. marian is literally like a train wreck waiting to happen. i’m pretty sure some poor observers have been hurt due to his flailing, but it’s okay. he doesn’t mean any harm… generally.
honestly, marian would willingly allow himself to be dragged wherever altair wants to go. i could see him volunteering to go hangout with altair for like… community service type stuff??? idk if altair’s into that… but marian translates meaningful into volunteering. if they went to an animal shelter together, i’m pretty sure altair would be watching as marian competed to see if he or the puppies had more energy.
haha. battle partner secured. marian is way more excited about this than he should be.
looool. yea. i’m assuming they’ve been friends for a long time??? idk how long exactly tho, so i’m pretty sure marian is just like “why won’t you listen to meeeee?” half of the time. he can be an annoying piece of trash. just ignore him… or run away.
GABRIEL && KIRSTEN FAY — if you want to go that route??? it’d be an interesting way for them to meet. i mean… he’s supposed to be supervising her, but she doesn’t really need the help… so he tries to make small talk. god, he fails epically at small talk. if he knew the whole story, gab would be even more insistent upon treating her like a good friend… prob treat her like his younger relatives. he’d constantly worry about her and try to mother him… all with the best of intentions.
and haha. gab would just love to be useful. he wants all of his friends to succeed and lean on him when necessary for their mental/emotional health. i think his goal in the future is to be a therapist at this rate. orz
Yep, definitely a long time! Altair's known Jasper for roughly forever, so I figure he'd have known Marian also for however long he's been in Jasper's life too.
Altair might actually give Marian a gentle nudge when he's too far out of line? While he's pretty extreme Lawful Good himself, he doesn't hold other people to the same standard--but there does come a point where he's worried about his friends making asses of themselves (or making poor life decisions in general).
YES MARIAN SHALL BE EXCELLENT FOR PUPPY PLAYTIME! And he probably figures the chances of Marian stealing doggy chew toys is low. His faith in that might be misplaced. >.>
I'm 100% down for him being a program mentor if you are! It seems like the sort of thing he might be doing, and it's the sort of thing schools do, so it makes sense to me.
Hey, being a therapist is an honorable calling. And lord knows Kirsten could use one. She can be patient zero!
