hope it went okay xia!! & yeah it's crazy and they have to go back in mid-August or whatever ahaa i do not miss school one bit
rIGHT these are crummy lmao but whateverr i'm awful at writing about characters i haven't used yet I need to think up some quotes one day but heck they're done enough for me :^)
ngl the goat in the background scares me a lil bit
SlothEmil Reed "bla bla wip blu is bad at thinking of quotes" Wicked - Boy Epic 42 - Dealer - The Septet
Standing at just a dash over six feet and weighing in around 165 lbs, Reed is rarely seen without his perpetual cloud of smoke surrounding him, and with a hazy, unfocused look about him. Additionally, his slovenly and careless lifestyle has granted his a gawky, out of shape body and, even here in his midlife, skin prematurely ageing. He has faded dark brown hair and narrow, light hazel eyes which rarely seem to focus on whoever he's actually speaking to. His grooming is erratic at best, and times between a decent shave and a haircut tend to be not-entirely-intentionally far between. He has a handful of small tattoos mostly along his arms, a number of have no obvious meaning and which he doesn't entirely remember getting in the first place. Not wanting to admit that, however, he'll tell a different story any time it's asked. On his right forearm, however, close to his elbow, he has his own symbol as one of the Septet.
'Lackadaisical' would be a perfectly fitting word with which to sum up Reed as a whole. Insouciant to the world around him, he's both unsatisfied by solitude yet indifferent to socialisation. A man without charm, glamour, or charisma, what you see is essentially what you get. That being said, those who like to cast their minds back to the past would remember him as a man with an odd but effectual wisdom about him, and someone who knows how to use what he has to get what he wants. These days, however, it's become difficult to tell which of his words and actions are truly his own and which come more from whatever substance he's running off that day. Still, the place he's carved for himself in Sterling City is indicative that he must have some brain for business ticking away in there.
History
It becomes quite clear early on when dealing with Reed that any adventures outside of Sterling City have been few and far between, and he has a very narrow world view as a result. Sterling City is the only place he's really known.
Never the brightest nor boldest in his youth, Reed aspired for power, and without ever having somebody to push him towards a better life, he was fast to realise that drugs was his way of gaining power, and his life has essentially been build around that realisation.
The Septet was, in its own way, just another vessel in a power search, although truthfully it was also the first place his wisdom and mind was really appreciated and useful to others. On the other hand, it's hard to see Reed as a fallen angel so much as a devil destined for hell. Even from the get-go it was difficult for him to imagine a better version of Sterling City when what he saw was all he ever knew. What were once managed vices became addictions doomed to damn him; the rest of the Septet around him fell to their own forms of corruption and surrender. The path led nowhere but a downward spiral. Diligence
Theadora Creswell " bla bla wip bla" Brave - Freedom Fry 34 - Engineer and Vigilante - The Sentinels
5'9" and 140 lbs, Thea's slim but far from muscular figure gives away that her interest in exercise doesn't extend much beyond the occasional run to blow off steam. Of French Polynesian descent, she has soft, straight dark brown hair reaching down to chest-length, and she typically puts it in half-up, half-down styles, preferring to keep it out of her eyes. She has a fairly wide nose, dark brown eyes, and soft eyebrows. She hasn't any tattoos, but her hands and forearms are marked with numerous accidental burns and scratches. Not known for having any real sense of fashion, she dresses very plainly and her everyday wardrobe items could probably be counted on one hand.
Rarely seen without her head bent over some project or another, Thea is a tireless worker, using her practical abilities and creativity to create and maintain all manner of useful things for the Sentinels. Although appearing quite closed and distant at first, those who come to know her well will find her to be good-natured and optimistic, and a calm and steadying influence to have around. She likes things to be logical and simple, preferring to keep behind the scenes, but her eagerness and soft-hearted nature mean she's easily dragged into trouble regardless - which is probably how she ended up going from unassuming nine-to-five worker to vigilante.
History
Bright and hardworking since day one, Thea was in fact born out of Sterling City to a considerably wealthy family. She excelled through high school and then college, if not purely for her mind then for her enthusiasm, creativity, and work ethic, which have always served her well in life. She came out of college with her degree in Electrical and Electronic Engineering, and began her adult life with a young man she met during her studies.
She and her boyfriend climbed in their respective careers for a number of years, and became engaged before he was called back to his hometown of Sterling City care for his ill, widowed mother. Thea followed, not to be separated from her love.
Here, her career stalled in a struggling city, their previously modest finances earned dwindled quickly for medical care, and the strains slowly but surely strained their relationship over a handful of years. Sterling City became, unwillingly, Thea's home. When her boyfriend's mother came to pass, their relationship inevitably crumbed for good, and Thea was left alone and with little money in a city she wished she'd never stepped foot in.
However, Thea was never one to fall to self-pity. While the inequities of the city and the actions of the Septet were once background noise, they became symbols in her mind of the city she down to her heart hated. It was then that Thea turned her hand to this new task. In the beginning it was more out of distaste for the Septet, but her time with the other Sentinels has grown in her a sense of duty and loyalty to the city and its people.

I'm crying about this quote "I'm not lazy. I'm just on energy saving mode." n then here's a bunch of other stuff "We're all in the same game; just different levels. Dealing with the same hell, just different devils." "We're all just a bunch of addicts, struggling with our drug of choice." "I don't like people who take drugs. Customs agents, for example." [ I'M LAUGHING SO HARD ] "I have so much to do I'm going back to bed." "Weed is not a drug, it's a plant. So I'm not a drug dealer, I'm a florist." "Today sucks. I'm going back to bed." [ some Hawkeye for good measure bc Hawkeye ]
None of these r mine btw, just throwing that out there and if you want to find sources, by all means be my guest I'm just too lazy to find out the source and currently am quote spamming for u Bb Drug quotes r surprisingly either hilarious or downright depressing

And for the inspirational, kind hearted lass with a heart of gold and the determination to match armies... "Life isn't about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself." "Nothing worth having comes easy." "We rise by lifting others." "I solve practical problems. Not problems like 'what is beauty?', because that would fall within the purview of your conundrums of philosophy." [ some tf2 for good measure ] "Without a sense of caring there can be no sense of community." "When dictatorship is a fact, revolution becomes a right."
I hope these quotes tickle your fancy and inspire you to choose one/write one for your babies! :'D

idk about u but I feel like Lorde - Team is a song that really fits both the Septet and the Sentinels Mostly these lines:
Wait till you're announced We've not lost all our graces. The hounds will stay in chains, Look upon your greatness that you'll send
and this...
Dancing around the lies we tell Dancing around big eyes as well
and
We live in cities You'll never see on screen Not very pretty, But we sure know how to run things
Living in ruins of a palace within my dreams, And you know, We're on each other's team
AND THIS PART, I'M CRYING [my septet babies]
I'm kinda older than I was When I rebelled without a care. So there.
Idk, I just like this song xD

Whoa that actually fits really well. Idk, if we wanted we could make a playlist just for fun. We already have songs for the individual people. Once we get all the song choices together I'm gonna listen to all the songs.
These characters are like my babies now. *cuddles then*
