So it starts here... a seemingly normal high school... or rather... a very stereotypical one. The stereotypically dumb footballer jocks bully the stereotypical nerds and underdogs... Of course, this is odd, and many students here know that this is weird, but they live with it... nothing they're going to do... It's senior year in March (not too close to the end but its thought lingers), enter Scott (left), a semi-newbie who only moved here a few months ago but has gotten the hang of things. He himself is pretty athletic but doesn't take any sports classes and simply focuses on academia here. He already has a boyfriend, a dewott named Achi, one of the school's best sprinters. Quintin, Scott's father, is a police officer for the Yunicath Police Department (one of the reasons why they moved here), and also a somewhat well-known ex-wrestler named "The Plasma Warrior", who retired after... an incident (unrelated to wrestling)... Scott's mother is a museum worker for the historical part of Yunicath, which was originally Twilisti's colonial capital back in the 1600s-1700s. He is weirded out by the school's culture and especially dislikes everyone on the football team for being such bullies, but he's gotten used to not really thinking much of it... Now enter Isaac (right), one of said footballers... in fact he's considered one of the best quarterbacks in the school's history. He's not the worst of the bunch when it comes to the team being bullies, although that's not saying that much. His best friend is Yuri, another footballer and pretty much the closest person he has to a brother... His mom is a semi-successful (yet overworked and stressed) game developer, while his father is... dead... but was a member of the Air Force (his death is not related to combat... although it was probably just as violent). He has a girlfriend, Carly, a cheerleader (because of course), who's seen as bit of the stereotypical "dumb girl" (not over the stereotypes).

Are these two really related in anyway? No, of course not. They are polar opposites... but maybe one thing might put that thought to the test... or maybe... something will put the whole school- city- nation- world on edge.... or this will just be a normal school week like always at West Yunicath High... right?
