I decided not to flood the Quick [name_u]Poll[/name_u] Thread, so we’re going to do this instead.
Any other suggestions are greatly appreciated!

Reserved, one-liners, quotes [name_m]Shakespeare[/name_m], loyal, resilient, modest, civil, has a fierce side, squeamish, out for revenge, dignified, socially awkward, believes in justice, empathetic, but deep down he’s lost in who everybody wants him to be, polite, courteous, gentle-giant, trusting face, steadfast.

Boy #3
[name_m]Rude[/name_m], selfish, vain, racist, sexist, and homophobic. He expects everyone to bow at his will. Sarcastic, honest about his selfishness, very good at acting, hypocrite. Uses his acting as a defense mechanism, though that’s no excuse for how he acts. Challenging for him to pick up on social cues, cheater, liar, manipulator, prejudiced, shows great audacity.
18, wears blue polos and khaki shorts, nice shoes. Plays tennis, burns easily, wiry frame. Pale, with ruddy cheeks, has greasy brown hair, kind of long, and murky blue eyes. Tends to wear sunglasses a lot.

Boy #4
Secretive, defensive, stoic, makes indirect comments, courageous–but not recklessly so–irreverent, broody, ethical, resilient, anxious, very professional, bit of a workaholic, resentful, tries to stay calm, haggard, tender-hearted, wise-beyond-his-years, smart, efficient, clever. Knows how people think, has trust-issues. Very similar to [name_m]Captain[/name_m] [name_u]America[/name_u], but not a very good leader.
Wears sweats with a hole in the knee by choice, mud-spattered sneakers, T-shirts and hoodies. Dislikes luxury though he lives with his well-to-do uncle.
He’s 18, a basketball player, about average height, dark hair. His mom is Japanese, and his dad is Thai. He’s fast, agile, and coordinated.
I have absolutely no name for him, so suggestions are greatly appreciated, if you have the time.
Boy #5-- He actually has a name: [name_m]Moses[/name_m] [name_m]Joaquim[/name_m] Ribeiro.
Girl #2’s vote is on the Quick [name_u]Poll[/name_u] Thread, so I won’t put her’s here…
Girl #3
Bold, impatient, fierce, selfless, courageous, independent, loyal, faithful, has no filter, sincere, resentful, energetic, is like inertia–once she starts, you can’t stop her–slightly vindictive, indecisive, chaotic, confident, social, used to winning, competitive, doesn’t think things through, kind but is so honest she can appear blunt/brash, surprisingly good with kids.
She’s 18 and wears running shorts or Spandex, bright-colored tank-tops and tennis shoes. She’s a sprinter, has a very muscular frame. [name_m]Brown[/name_m] hair with blonde highlights, very tanned skin. Half-latina, half-white.

Girl #4
Acts happy, but has a ruthlessly angry side, compassionate, composed, modest, enthusiastic, positive, not very persuasive, can appear shallow or naive at times, but is the pop of color everyone needs, sincere–except to herself. She’s a peacemaker, cheery, timid, quirky, underestimated, fun-loving, reasonable, giggly, yet surprisingly wise, “innocent.”
She’s 18, and wears pastel sundresses, high top Converse, jean jacket covered in pins. She’s a biker, but not very competitive. She has strong, long legs, dark skin, intricately braided hair, high cheekbones, and wears pearl earrings and necklaces.
She also has no name, so I’m completely open to suggestions, if you have any.
Girl #5
“Bad girl,” hothead, exhausted by people, yet actually very empathetic, impatient, seemingly constantly angry, intuitive, grouchy, cranky, doesn’t like attention, anti-social, fierce, focused, impolite, doesn’t like authority, blunt, brash, sarcastic, civil, always tired and grumbly, not very good at consoling people. Finds rules optional.
18, wears oversized shirts, ponytails, jean shorts, and sandals. She fences (as in the sport. She doesn’t build fences for a living.), and has wide shoulders, coordinated, nimble on her feet, handy in a sword or fistfight. She has dirty blonde hair, is caucasian, and has gray eyes.
Again, another nameless character, so I’d love it if you have any names to throw out there.
Leader #1
She is 26, lenient, good leader, passionate, big-sister figure, chill, though can snap easily, protective, defensive. She’s organized, witty, charming, a great role model, can be serious, fun-loving, goal-driven, flexible, has a bad past, and brokenhearted. Kind of proud, uses a lot of metaphors and similes in her speech, very comforting, concerned for everyone’s safety, but wants them to learn.
Wears khaki shorts in various colors (teal, beige, magenta, black, peach…), patterned tank tops, an olive-green jacket, baseball cap, and Chacos. Used to wrestle and do archery, has strong calves and arms, brown skin, wavy charcoal-brown hair. Half-Hawaiian, half-Chinese. Her fn honors her Hawaiian heritage, her ln honors her Chinese.

And because my sister–who has helped me come up with names and talked me through a lot of this–is curious, which character do you like the best? (completely optional)

I’m so sorry to bother all of y’all, but for some reason, none of my characters want to be named. Thank you for reading through all of this, and feel free to leave any suggestions. Only the things in bold are set in stone (and maybe not even then.).
Y’all are the absolute best! Thanks!
