(class one) mr. hofmann’s college sophomore studio art class, 18 students

teacher
name: xavier daniel hofmann
relatives (this is optional ofc): emmanuel zion greenley-hofmann (fiancée, 31), david daniel hofmann (father, 62), bella sadie [tillman] hofmann (mother, deceased, would be 62), naomi pippa ‘nim’ [gaines] hofmann (stepmother, 56), sebastian oliver ‘bastian’ hofmann (31, twin brother), olivia bella hofmann-park (sister, 29), adelaide hyewon ‘ada’ park (niece, 4), damian heechul park (nephew, nb)
age: 31 / born september 9 1991
location: new york city, usa
gender: male [he/him]
sexuality: bi
personality: xavier’s a very nonchalant and sometimes sardonic man, which can be his biggest fault at times. however, he’s a very creative and intelligent man, and part of the reason he got into teaching art for sophomores was because it inspired him. his father wanted him to be a professor, but he decided to get into another form of teaching. xavier isn’t on the best of terms with the man, and hates that david married so soon after the death of bella, his mother, who he absolutely adored and looked up to a lot. he tries not to hold it against nim, he knows it’s not her fault. xavier is very close with his twin, bastian, and his sister olivia. he’s also very close with all his students and encourages them to pursue creativity in all forms, which is why he decided to teach studio art as it allowed for more creative wiggle room. apart from teaching, he runs an art gallery with his fiancé, emmanuel, who he lives with in downtown new york. they actually met at an art convention three years ago, and that fateful day was the day xavier decided emmanuel was the most beautiful man he’d ever met. the two are set to get married in october of 2023, and hope to start adopting children soon after that.
appearance: xavier is 6’0 tall, with a lean but muscular build from working out and running, two of xavier’s favorite pasttimes besides painting and art. his eyes are icy blue, and he has a very sharp jawline with light pale skin. his hair is curly and brown, and falls in his eyes a bit. he has piercings, an antihelix on both ears and an industrial on one, and likes wearing cool jewelry such as an arrow for the industrial. his choice in wardrobe is as edgy as his choice in jewelry, and he likes to wear cardigans, particularly black ones, as well as black jeans and occasionally paint-stained overalls to class. he also has some tattoos- a paint palette on his lower back, a “follow your dreams” in cursive on his arm, and emmanuel’s name on his hand with a small heart next to it.

relatives: tianchao kang (56, father), yingwen wu (54, mother), xinyi kang (18, sister), yuxin “leo” zhang (20, live-in cousin)
age: 20 / april 6 2003
location: new york city, usa
gender: female (she/her)
sexuality: bi
personality: fei’s a feisty, energetic young woman who’s ready to take on any challenge her sophomore year throws at her. she’s best friends with emilia winson, whose quiet and shy demeanor contrasts hers perfectly, although fei’s tumultuous moods can be her fatal flaw at times. having just turned twenty, fei is so excited to be “all grown up.” she gets on well with xavier, who’s her favorite teacher for his cool attitude and artsiness. fei wants to be a comic illustrator when she graduates college, hoping to specialize in more cartoony, manga-esque styles. she went through a huge anime phase in middle and early high school, which slightly influenced her art style. she loves character design, and is undoubtedly a very talented student. however, fei’s short attention span and plain boredom in other subjects such as math and science bring her gpa down by a lot, which could hurt her critically especially considering she’s in college. mr. hofmann is trying to direct her into the right path and help her, but she seems to have genuine trouble in those classes. she’s suspected to be neurodivergent in some way, which would make a lot of sense. she currently lives with her cousin leo, who goes to the same college, in a dorm room with their shared pet pomeranian, “judith”.

appearance: short and compact at 5’1, fei’s a ball of energy who enjoys running and various other athletic activities. fei used to have long, thick black hair in her youth, but now it’s cut into a choppy neck-length (for the most part) bob, something she did herself out of pure boredom. she likes to wear clips in it to tame the fringe, which in hindsight she should have gotten done by a professional. fei has a confident and cocky air to her, always standing tall with her chest puffed out. fei doesn’t give makeup any thought. she’s got big dark brown eyes with faint glints of green in them, something she inherited from her mom, yingwen. fei enjoys wearing reds and other bold, vibrant colors, and favors blazers and hoodies along with skirts that show off her slim figure. she also likes to wear sneakers. fei additionally has little drawings all over her body, which she practices while bored.

name: michael bruno blanchard-goldblum “mica”
relatives: warren thomas blanchard (60, father) genevieve sarai “eva” goldblum (59, mother), and mallory rivka blanchard-goldblum “mal” (14, sister)
age: 19 / july 16 2004
location: new york city, usa
gender: demiboy [he/they]
sexuality: pansexual, but likes men more.
personality: mica is a shy and quiet person who’s thrilled to be in his sophomore year in college, and loves his class along with his teacher, and xavier also loves having him in his class. they’re a very crafty individual-no pun intended, of course, and intends to go into sculpting as his profession. he’s got a love of 3D art, and experimented a lot with papier-mâché in late high school, before deciding that clay was his preferred method. his parents have been very supportive, as both of them were artists, warren being a potter and eva being a painter. mica is very close with their sister mal, who’s 14 and isn’t quite sure what she wants to do in life yet, but is eager to find out as she continues her life journey. mica is also half-jewish from his mom, and is very proud of his heritage. mica doesn’t have a girlfriend or boyfriend as of now, but there is a boy in a few of his classes he thinks is super cute, and wants to get to know on a more personal level- he’s always been nice to them and they think he likes them too. mica can be insecure sometimes, despite his obvious prowess in art classes, he’s very self-conscious by nature and tends to be reserved with his feelings, unfortunately, but he’s seeing a therapist and getting it all worked out.
appearance: mica is average height, 5’10”, and has a slim build that he’s insecure about, and he’s been taking swimming classes and going to the gym to add some muscle to his skinny figure. he has a birthmark on his left cheek that’s oddly shaped, as well as eyes a striking shade of amber comparable to topaz stones glinting in the sunlight. his hair is brown and fluffy-curly, and hangs in his eyes just the right amount that he can still see, and he also has a dyed streak of blonde in it, something he prides himself on. mica’s choice in clothing is very much artsy, and he favors flannels on cold days but paint-stained overalls on a plain t-shirt on warm ones. he does enjoy flared jeans, and all of his clothes are stained in some way either from art class or just his clumsiness, as mica is extremely clumsy and a general source of accidents in the class. he likes wearing doc martens or crocs for shoes, and his earlobes are pierced as well as his antihelix, forward helix and antitragus on his right ear, usually opting for simple black gold or silver jewellry. he says they don’t hurt, but they do. he’s also a fan of necklaces, particularly chains, and rings.

relatives: only including immediate family; [name_f]Sahar[/name_f] [name_f]Farrah[/name_f] [name_m]Amin[/name_m] (mother; age 41), [name_m]Hassan[/name_m] [name_m]Latif[/name_m] [name_m]Amin[/name_m] (father; age 45), [name_m]Khalid[/name_m] [name_m]Zayd[/name_m] [name_m]Amin[/name_m] (twin brother; age 19),
age: 19 (born [name_u]December[/name_u] 17, 2003)
location: nyc, usa
gender: female (she/her)
sexuality: straight

personality: kalila is not shy but she also isn’t very outgoing either. she has an rbf that causes some people to say she’s mean, but she is the farthest from mean. she’s super friendly and generous and always kind to everyone. kalila has never been the girl for confrontation, always being the bigger person in conflicts. kalila has always been into art, being able to draw and paint with high skills at such a young age. once her parents saw that she was so talented in art, they nurtured that talent which ended up working out so well for her when she got older. she went to an arts high school and focused on drawing rather than painting. this is because she wants to be a video game artist. mr. hofmann really thinks that kalila will go far, based on her performance even in his class.

appearance: kalila is average height, around 5’4” and has a very curvy build that she appreciates. she doesn’t show her body though, as she is a hijabi, so she dresses very modestly. she loves that about her religion and loves to go fabric shopping with her dad to find many different colors so her aunt can make her abayas and hijabs. kalila has a medium brown skin tone color, in between her mothers and her fathers. her eyes are small but round and hazel in color, which she got from her dad. she also has puffy lips that she likes because so many colors look nice on them. kalila has needed glasses basically all of her life, but now she wears contacts mainly. when she does wear glasses though, they are purple and rectangular shaped frame.

He’s a good buddy to [name_f]Esti[/name_f] and [name_m]Tobiah[/name_m] acts like he hates art when he’s around her, but he loves it. Both he and [name_u]Davy[/name_u] adore making art but [name_u]Davy[/name_u] has been more responsible than [name_m]Tobiah[/name_m] - because [name_u]Davy[/name_u] is a recent dad!

[name_m]Tobiah[/name_m] can be immature but knows his brother needs support from the family in helping raise [name_u]Bennett[/name_u], so [name_m]Tobiah[/name_m] may be facing a turning point maturing vicariously through his brother.

location: NYC, [name_u]New[/name_u] [name_u]York[/name_u], US
gender: female (she/her)
sexuality: pansexual
personality: izzy is an outspoken and extroverted person who’s very much a ray of sunshine. she hates when people describe her as bold or loud, especially when done in relation to her racial identity as a black woman, because she’s the furthest from bold. sure, she can be a very expressive person especially when she’s in her debate club, but she’s very shy at times and can often overthink and procrastinate, which is one of her biggest flaws. she’s always finding a way to bring light to a situation or make it more fun, which she’s good at due to her killer sense of humor and people skills. she’s very much loved by both her dads, and her sister- who’s almost her complete opposite, preferring to exclusively keep to herself apart from a few friends, but despite their differences the two love each other. izzy has loves art since she was a baby girl, and really loves creating abstract things, particularly spatter paintings and sculpture work. she’s hoping to make a few friends in this class!!
appearance: izzy is 5’4, with a very curvy figure. she’s got a large bust and hips, which she appreciates, but she’s got a small stomach pouch which she’s been insecure about for years. her skin is a light brown color that’s close to olive, and she wears her dark black hair in long cornrow braids that swish at her waist. she will often put them up in a top-knot, or simply a ponytail. she’s often decorated them with clips and beads, and additionally has the front two pieces of hair dyed pink. next month, she’s planning to go blue!! her sense of style definitely trends towards light, indie stuff with some kidcore and streetwear elements. she’s got this fleecy green jacket with smiley yellow flowers stitched onto it which she adores, and she loves her black converses with little clips on the laces she put there herself. she also enjoys wearing baggy jeans, skirts and fishnets, which are often ripped either on purpose or on accident. she’s also got a small silver nose stud, her earlobes pierced, and a big smile with dimples that she loves to accentuate with makeup.

Name: Davy Kyler Jahari
Relatives: Trisha Sabine (mother; 49), Paul Micah (father; 49), Sonia Jessica (sister; 24), Tobiah Dwayne (brother; 19), Bennett Joshua (son; 2 months)
Age: 20 (born 10 February 2003)
Location: NYC, New York, US
Gender: Male (he/him)
Sexuality: Bisexual

Personality: Davy is a much more responsible and loving individual since becoming a recent father to his son Bennett Joshua. He and Tobiah are close brothers and love taking the same art class even though Davy is well aware Tobiah is pretending to hate it. Davy does have some hardships with raising Bennett as a young teen father and he’s grateful for his family for support and love. While his family was concerned with him having a son so young, they’ve completely respected him and don’t love him or Bennett any less. Davy is still together with his girlfriend, Bennett’s mother but they’ve focused on parenting first and relationship second. It’s waned a bit on their love life but when they make time for romance and dating, it’s always worth it. He’s glad he and Tobiah take the class together and have more brotherly time, and he knows Tobiah secretly loves it too.

Appearance: Davy has textured hair (longer than his brother’s), dark skin, and is of African, specifically Algerian, descent. He’s taller than Tobiah but shorter height than Sonia and also has a sturdy body build. His nose is a little wider and his eyes are somewhat farther apart. He has a cleft chin, which his son Bennett inherited.

tw: unblurred abandonment

name: frances olive “ frankie “ kelton
relatives: maisie lennox kelton (17, little sister), james mitchell “jesse” kelton (52, estranged father), yuri takeda (52, estranged mother), davy kyler jahari (boyfriend, 20), bennett joshua (son, 2 months)
age: 20 (born 8 [name_u]March[/name_u] 2003)
location: NYC, [name_u]New[/name_u] [name_u]York[/name_u], US
gender: female (she/her)
sexuality: straight ally

personality: frankie can be a little uptight and stoic at times, especially considering her rough background- her parents abandoned her and her sister and she was left to fend for herself. frankie, as a result, is extremely overprotective of maisie and her newborn son bennett, who’s the light of her life. she views maisie as more of a daughter than a sister and is very strict with her, not allowing her to go to parties or have friends if not approved by frankie herself, and maisie often sees her sister as a bit of a tyrant, but it’s all done with a reason- frankie has had to scavenge and fend for herself in new york for so long, and it’s a wonder she’s in college now especially with the whole pregnancy situation. art has been her passion for years now, and her ability to create lifelike portraits has stunned many. as someone who’s been underestimated by many her whole entire life, frankie takes great pleasure in proving them wrong. her cut-throat nature and stone-cold demeanour was arguably what drew davy to her in the first place. ironically, he ended up proving her wrong- she thought he was just like other guys but he ended up sweeping her off her feet. the two are great parents to bennett. apart from her college, frankie works a part time job at a coffee shop to support her baby boy and maisie, who she’s determined to send to college no matter what happens.

appearance: frankie is a short and petite woman, being 5’2, and is slender with a small chest. the pregnancy took a toll on her body, and she’s a bit pudgier than her old figure which was much slimmer and she has stretch marks, but davy assures her every day that he finds her beautiful no matter what. she used to love wearing brogues but the pregnancy has made flats her go to. she has long, thick black hair that she wears at shoulder length, lightly tanned skin, and big almond-shaped brown eyes with little flecks of green in them. frankie is 1/4 japanese, from her maternal side of the family. she needs glasses, and feels that the blue glasses she chooses adds character to her face. she’s also got a scar on her left cheek, a small slit from a minor biking accident when she was 15 and coming home from work, though it’s not noticeable if you don’t look that hard. frankie loves to wear tights, and has adopted a more dark-academia sort of look, employing pleated skirts and sweaters in her everyday wardrobe, along with a black knitted vest she loves to wear over long shirts or sweaters. she will also occasionally steal davy’s hoodies, but she’s very careful about returning them.

[name_m]Thiago[/name_m] is presumed dead but [name_m]Moises[/name_m] has the slightest belief that [name_m]Thiago[/name_m] is still out there. [name_m]Moises[/name_m] was conceived in an unplanned pregnancy when his parents were 41 and they were overjoyed when they had him, since they feared they’d never have more children.

location: nyc, new york, usa
gender: female (she/her)
sexuality: straight ally
personality: a reserved and down-to-earth young woman, elsa is very passionate about art and has loved it ever since her childhood, she would doodle in her notebooks for hours. elsa was also in ballet. she prides herself on her dancing abilities, but knows it wasn’t for her in the long run and instead she wants to be a graphic designer. she also has connections to kalila, being one of her best friends, and the girlfriend of her twin khalid. khalid and elsa love each other a lot, and elsa hopes that the two get married one day- elsa often gets ahead of herself sometimes, as she’s constantly in her own thoughts and can be a bit of a daydreamer. her parents, scottish immigrants who moved to the states long before she was born, are both very proud of their daughter for pursuing her dream, as well as her little brother kelso. elsa loves kelso, though he’s in his grungey teen phase where he doesn’t talk to anyone and prefers to be locked in his room. he also goes to school with frankie kelton’s little sister maisie and has developed a little bit of a crush on her, much to elsa’s amusement, though neither frankie nor maisie know of kelso’s affections. for now, elsa is happy to keep his secret, but will sometimes use it as blackmail.
appearance: elsa is slender, fragile-looking and lithe at 5’4, but the way she moves you can see her muscle from years of doing ballet, which she prides herself on. her hair is a very light blonde that’s almost like white, and her eyes are blue. she’s often compared to the elsa from frozen due to her looks and her name. she’s also got some small moles on her face she used to be insecure of, but when her boyfriend khalid compared them to a beautiful constellation, she decided that they were beautiful and she wouldn’t be ashamed of them anymore. she’s also got some on her back. elsa likes to wear her hair down, or in small braids, with sage green or flower clips in them. elsa’s aesthetic is something close to fairycore, her clothing being all sorts of natural tones including green and brown. she loves corsets, and long flowy skirts as well as a lacy white dress she adores- lace has always been a love of elsa’s. she has her septum pierced, as well as her helix and earlobes, and likes to opt for more simple jewelry but has a pair of extravagant leaf earrings khalid got her for her birthday that she adores.

Name: [name_u]Aroha[/name_u] Hinawai [name_m]Cook[/name_m] “Ari”
Relatives: [name_m]Kauri[/name_m] Mahuta [name_m]Cook[/name_m] (38), father, mother unknown, [name_f]Gracie[/name_f] [name_f]Imogen[/name_f] (17), sister, [name_f]Nevaeh[/name_f] [name_u]Everly[/name_u] [name_u]Genesis[/name_u] (2), daughter
age: 19 (Apr 3rd 2004)
Location: NYC, [name_u]New[/name_u] [name_u]York[/name_u], USA
Gender: Female (she/her)
Sexuality: straight

Personality: Normally a bored student, Ari’s been obsessed with art, as it lets her escape out of her troubled life. With her mother leaving her just after her family moved to the USA and after her sister was born, she is making sure she is completely in her daughters life so her daughter doesn’t feel the way she did as a child. She is thoughtful and caring, and since art comes in a lot of different forms, she chose dancing at a young age. Like art, it lets her escape her troubled life. As a māori immigrant, she gets teased a lot for the way she looks.

Looks: [name_u]Ari[/name_u] is rather smaller than the other women in her class, with dark brown eyes, tan skin and dark blonde hair. Like two other girls in her class (Frankie and [name_f]Amara[/name_f], whom she’s very close with), her pregnancy 2 years ago affected her mood and body a lot. She grew up with glasses, but now wears contacts everywhere she goes.

Student 14/18: Warning for deaths

Name: Friedrich ” Fiete “ Kaiser Wagner
Relatives: Nele Gretchen Moritz (mother, 48), Rudolf Hendrick Wagner (father, 48), Klaus Dietrich Wagner (brother, deceased at 26), Franz Theodoric Wagner (paternal grandfather, deceased at 86), Magda Annika Wagner (paternal grandmother, deceased at 86)
Age: 20 (born 21 April 2003)
Location: NYC, New York, US
Gender: Male (he/him)
Sexuality: Straight

Personality: Seeing the number of young parents in the class, Fiete thinks he may be the father of a baby himself. Not the first person you would suspect because of his unpredictable nature and his part-time job in a concert hall. He does get angry, but he doesn’t get violent. He’s more the type to bottle his sadness and anger and hold back his thoughts and emotions until he ends up making a mistake and letting them out in the wrong way. You can talk to him and reason with him and he’ll always explain why he did something. But if he’s truly mad he’ll be silent until it fades. He would rather let emotions wash off than deal with them immediately. He is a very talented artist, and is works are wonderful and full of surprises. He is always looking for new ideas, new ways to create, and he is always exploring and expanding his creativity and imagination. His creativity is one of his best qualities, and it shows in his art and also his writing, which he is also great at. His grandparents passed away from heart failure four years prior and it’s been a daunting and horrible moment for him, since they inspired him. His brother Klaus, who was well-known to the college as one of the cafeteria chefs, passed away in his home at 26 sometime between Christmas and New Years. No foul play was suspected and no signs of drugs, alcohol, or any chance of Klaus causing his own death. An autopsy revealed Klaus also had heart problems, dying of an enlarged heart despite showing no obvious symptoms before his death. Fiete and his father have had check-ups by the doctor and their hearts are fine. Fiete is very close with a young woman whom they’re mutually attracted to and is almost certain she’s pregnant with his child, but he’s unsure, especially given his fear the baby may have a heart complication sometime in life.

Appearance: Fiete Wagner is a 20 year old man with piercing blue eyes, golden blond hair and a petite but toned body. His face is full of freckles, and he looks innocent, but he has a mischievous smile. His smile reflects the stories and arts he creates everyday. He and his late grandfather are the only family member with piercing blue eyes, with everyone else having grey-blue eyes. He’s also the only one with golden blond hair although his late grandmother had this colour when she was younger. His parents were brunettes and Klaus had dark brown hair, inherited from his living maternal side. Fiete is sometimes rebellious as shown with the piercings on his ears and eyebrow but he’s nice to people, especially those in the class who are parents, and always wears soft comfortable clothing, like his fave cashmere sweater. He has similar cashmere pyjamas he wears at night.

[name_m]Emre[/name_m] and [name_m]Khalid[/name_m] are friends and [name_m]Emre[/name_m] has a good bond with [name_u]Mica[/name_u] too. [name_m]Emre[/name_m] loves alternative music and it’s a big part of his personality. He loves his family but feels better having space away.

age: 19 / june 6 2004
location: new york city, usa
gender: trans demiboy [he/xe]
sexuality: pansexual, but likes men more.
personality: sol is quiet when xe’s out of his comfort zone, but can be the loudest person in the room when around people who make xem feel comfortable. like moises peto, he’s autistic and openly lgbt, giving the two a lot of common ground, causing them to be good friends from the start. sol is a bit awkward and doesn’t know what the right thing to say or do is in many situations, but xey are very sweet. xey were born to a single mom, iris, and don’t know who his donor was but is very glad that xe was born to such a wonderful mother, albeit a bit of a strict one. he’s studying to become a professional cartoonist, a passion he’s fostered since the age of 15, right around when he came out to his sister and mom. xer mom is asexual, so she was very supportive. while sol would never admit this to anyone, he’s been fostering a bit of a crush on mica, and xey are actually the guy that mica thought was cute- not that he knows it, as he thinks mica would never talk to xem or like xem, but moises, emre and all xer other friends are urging him to go for it!!

appearance: sol is 5’5 and a half but insists that he’s 5’6. xer skin is pale and rosy, causing him to blush a lot whenever he’s upset or embarrassed and always look a little pink and flushed. his hair is naturally a light brown color, but right now it’s dyed blue, which his whole family says suits xem. it hangs in xer eyes and xey are growing it out. he has an average build, and likes to wear his secondhand blue platform shoes to make him look a bit taller. xey like velvet fabrics, because of how soft they are, and have a black velvet jacket that xey cherish. he also likes painting his nails, preferably black or blue because they’re his favorite colors. he wears a silver cross necklace every day in honor of his faith- he’s a proud [name_u]Christian[/name_u] and while it’s a bit daunting for xem to openly identify as religious and lgbt, xey know they have a great support system and have fully accepted his identity.
