But maybe, Home, Treasure, Core

Hello, hello! Thank you for sending in an ask! I'll be answering these for my ocs in the Tyrants wip, (Elizabeth, Nadia, Peter, Jay, and Marcus)

[Answers under the cut!~]

Home. Describe their relationship with someone in their family, friend group, with a QPP, a romantic interest, etc.

Eliza: Her relationship with her brother, Casey, is difficult. She loves him dearly, and would do anything to protect him and keep him safe. However, that does mean that she's had to make difficult choices in the past, such as leaving him behind, and now that they're back together again, they need to face the rift that's formed between them not just from these decisions, but also just from time.

Nadia: It's been so long since she's seen her little sister, but she still loves her so much. Similar to Eliza, she's had to make the difficult decision to leave behind her family in pursuit of her own life, though her reasons for doing so are fundamentally different. To her, she needs to prove that she can be successful, make a comfortable living for herself and her family.

Peter: His initial reaction to Eliza is definitely just to brush her off. He's seen girls like her before, and he isn't going to waste his time. But after she beats him in a fight, his views change massively. Think scared, but horny meme. He's desperate to impress her in any way he can, though that turns out to be a harder feat than it may seem.

Jay: He's always been a pretty solitary individual, so I think for him, letting the team in is, on it's own, a very difficult feat. Bad things can happen when you let people into your life, and for Jay, learning that good things can happen too is something he's still struggling to figure out.

Marcus: Nadia is their rock. Their light in the dark. Without her, they'd still be spiraling, or worse. In their eyes, Nadia is their one true friend above everyone else, and they'd do anything for her.

Treasure. What is something they like/love?

Eliza: Her family! Specifically her siblings. To her, protecting her family is the number one thing, and they'll always come before everything else.

Nadia: As cheesy as it may sound, Nadia just really loves love. She's a real girly girl and a real hopeless romantic, and the idea of things like true love or soulmates just tickle her pink.

Peter: Music. It's always been his passion, and he couldn't imagine a life without it. To him, there's no better way to express yourself.

Jay: His alone time. Like I said, he's a very solitary individual, and for him, the best times are the ones where he's alone with his peace and quiet.

Marcus: Their work. They've worked hard to get their radio show to where it is, and they take a lot of pride in it. It's also one of the few things that's stuck with them through the difficult times in their life.

Core. How is their true nature different from (or similar to) how they are portrayed to others?

Eliza: I think she very much likes to put on the front of being the cool girl, the girl who isn't bothered by anything and can do anything. But in reality, she's a sweetheart and a bit of a mother hen. And I think once you start to get close to her, her true nature becomes apparent very quickly.

Nadia: The way others see her and the way she actually is are pretty similar, honestly. She's just genuinely a very sweet person who cares deeply about others, and wants to see the best in everyone.

Peter: Like Eliza, he very much has a kind of bad boy persona. Helped by his tattoos and piercings and dark-colored clothes. People usually look at him and see the impulsive rock-star who they wouldn't want their daughters to hang around. In reality though, he's kind of just a doofus and has major golden retriever boyfriend energy.

Jay: He comes across as very stand-offish to people, and I think many might make the assumption that he just hates the world with the way he acts sometimes. And while their assumptions may not be entirely wrong, he's also kind of a gentle giant. Also very much the tired dad friend to Eliza's concerned mom friend energy.

Marcus: Other people might view them as very stoic, or emotionless. Which probably comes from years of repressing their emotions. But the truth is, Marcus does feel things, a lot of things, they're just not very good at showing it.
