BIO

Trevor Hinkley works as a stockboy and occasional cashier at Jumbo Jones' Grocery. He mainly worked as a cashier, but his boss, William Jones, shifted him to stockboy because Trevor hit on cute male customers and asked if they were single. Trevor never forgave his boss for that because he loved talking to people and looking at the cute guys walking by. 

He posts ads on his grocery's advertisement section looking for single cute guys to date him. William always tears the ad down and reprimands him for it. 

Trevor is craven and two-faced. He will be nice and friendly to your face but plot your demise behind your back if you cross him. Crossing him means telling him what he doesn't want to hear (i.e., the truth), getting in the way of his love quest, or posing a threat to his and his "M'Deimos' " imagined relationship. Trevor has no sense of loyalty and will stab anyone in the back and throw them under the bus if it will somehow benefit him. 

Trevor's biggest goal is finding his perfect boyfriend, especially after he watched American Pizza. He was never attracted to women so he applied B.J. Hardon's and Mike Hunt's advice to getting another man. He enrolled in one of the camps to get injected with the serum to enhance his genetics. He hoped this would land him his dream boyfriend. He discovered months later he could teleport so he took advantage of this to teleport into men's homes to worship their feet while they slept. 

Trevor was plotting to kill everyone at his grocery store as vengeance but would put that plan to halt if he met a cute single guy. He met Deimos. Deimos told him he was "single and not looking," which was enough for Trevor. Trevor had to make Deimos his. He thinks Deimos is the most gorgeous man he has ever laid his eyes on. He loves that his feet aren't stinky and they're super sensitive. Trevor often steals Deimos' worn socks and underwear. 

Trevor uses his ability to sneak around and take candid pictures of Deimos, which he has plastered all over his child-like clown bedroom.

Strengths: Bold, Determined, Sociable, Strong-willed, Dedicated

Weaknesses: Impatient, Manipulative, Cowardly, Two-Faced, Selfish

Likes: American Pizza, Locking Logs, Ramen, Pizza, Taco Time, Comics, Video Games, Deimos, Men's Feet, Fedoras, Ska Music, His Family, Animals

Dislikes: Being Alone, His Boss, His Job, His Co-Workers, Critiques, Bathing, Brushing his Teeth, Vegetables, Reading, Logic, Deimos' Suitors, Anyone getting in the way of his love quest

Trivia: 

-Lost his tooth because Deimos kicked him in the face and knocked his tooth out. It's his proudest moment. 

-His mother, Gertrude Hinkley, died of the Red Nile Virus when Trevor was 5-years-old. Trevor doesn't remember her. 

TROPES

80s Hair: Wears a mullet. 

Abhorrent Admirer: It's clear Deimos is uncomfortable with him and his obvious interest in him.

Alcoholic Parent: His father, Travis Hinkley, is an alcoholic. He spends his retirement checks on booze and take-out. After Travis' wife died, he turned to liquid comfort and, as a result, was a hands-off parent to Trevor. 

Ax-Crazy: Before he met Deimos, he was plotting to kill his co-workers and boss at his grocery store because he felt they were getting in the way of his love quest. He also has no qualms about killing anyone who threatens to take his "Darling Deimos" away. 

Believing Their Own Lies: Doesn't think anything is wrong with him; it's everyone else who is the asshole! 

Berserk Button: Telling him the truth or critiquing him in any way. He can dish it but can't take it. Also, getting close to HIS precious Deimos. 

Beware the Silly Ones: He's a bit of a ditz and a man-baby but he does make good use of his ethereal prowess to sneak attack. He also teleports into Deimos' room to watch him sleep, steal his underwear and socks, and worship his feet. 

Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: He may seem like a nice, pitiable guy but he's anything but. He's possessive of Deimos, plotted to kill his co-workers and boss, and will throw you under the bus faster than you can do a barrel roll. If he has no use for you, he will stab you in the back—literally. 

Blind Without 'Em: He has poor eyesight. 

Can't Take Criticism: He gets very riled up if you criticize him. And yet, he's quick to criticize everyone else. 

Childish Tooth Gap: Has a missing tooth because Deimos kicked him in the face. He's also very immature and childish. 

Crazy Jealous Guy: Gets very angry when someone is too close to his M'Deimos.

Depraved Homosexual

Dirty Coward: Very much so. He will never face anyone head-on. He would prefer others do the fighting for him. He's also fond of sneak attacks. 

The Ditz: When he first met Deimos, Deimos told him about pantry moths raiding his brother's pantry. Trevor thought it was code for hungry roommates and proudly told Deimos he had rats and mice in his apartment, thinking it would impress Deimos. It didn't.

Fanboy: He loves comics, American Pizza, Locking Logs, and video games. He blows his paycheck on video games, Locking Logs, American Pizza memorabilia, and comics. This is why he eats cheap food such as Taco Time, frozen pizza, and ramen. 

Fat Bastard

Fat Idiot

Fat Slob: Eats a lot and spends all his time lazing around with his stuff. 

Gonk: He's not attractive at all. 

Insufferable Imbecile: Not only is he one of the dumbest characters, but he's also a self-absorbed sociopath who wants to kill his co-workers because he can't find a cute guy. 

Knife Nut: Uses knives, blades, and sharp objects when attacking. He doesn't like guns. 

Large Ham: "MY LOVE QUEST IS FINALLY OVER!! I HAVE FOUND M'DEIMOS!!"

Limited Wardrobe: Aside from his grocery store uniform, he only wears a black jacket, t-shirt with a chibi Deimos, black pants, and a fedora. 

Love at First Sight: How he felt when he first met Deimos. 

Manipulative Bastard: Lord, he tries. He will twist the truth in his favor to make him look good and everyone else look bad. 

Missing Mom: Trevor's mother, Gertrude, died of the Red Nile Virus when he was a toddler. He doesn't remember her. 

Never My Fault: A fundamental flaw of Trevor's personality. When people turn on him, it's not because he tossed them under the bus or betrayed them, they were jealous of him or don't understand him. When William reprimands him for not doing his job, it's because he's against love and wants to thwart his love quest. When Deimos rejects his advances, it's that he just doesn't appreciate what a nice guy he is. 

Not Good with Rejection: Yeah, right, as if he will ever acknowledge that Deimos doesn't return his feelings.

No Sense of Personal Space: Constantly invades Deimos' boundaries and teleports into his room to watch him sleep. 

Perverted Sniffing: Loves to sniff Deimos, his feet, and the clothes he wore. 

Psychopathic Manchild: Prone to throwing temper tantrums when he doesn't get his way and will kill. 

Soul-Sucking Retail Job: He works as a stockboy at Jumbo Jones' Grocer and hates it. He only does it to fund his video game, Locking Logs, and comic obsession. 

Stalker with a Crush: His thing for Deimos. 

Teleportation: His ethereal prowess.

Trademark Favorite Food: Taco Time and pizza.  

Ungrateful Bastard: He never thanks anyone ever. "Thank you" is mostly absent from his vocabulary. He feels entitled to everything and everyone, especially Deimos. 

Wish Fulfillment: What his "original" story is. His "original" characters are rip-offs of copyrighted characters from established companies and he is the mayor of "Trevorville." The premise of his story is people in his life he dislikes trying to thwart his love quest and his "original" characters help Trevor get his Darling Deimos. 

Yandere: To Deimos, yes.

Albert is a kind, gentle soul and doesn’t have one mean bone in his body. He will always put the needs of others before his own. He hails from Landrau in the state of Sur-la-Rivière, which is clear with his thick Louisiana accent. 

He comes from a loving family that stuck together during the toughest times, so he’s not used to hostile being spoken to him. That changed when he accepted the job from Dr. Mark Koks. Dr. Koks is always screaming, shouting obscenities, and lashing out at him for the most trivial things. Albert is patient with Dr. Koks because he feels sorry for him and suspects there’s something more to his employer than meets the eye and is afraid to find out the dark secrets that lie within the aristocratic Koks family.

Albert currently resides in an apartment in Little Tokyo with Natsumi, her brother Naoto, and his two pugs, Shiro and Taro.

BIO

Kian is the keyboardist—and the last one to join the band—of “Ouro Novo.” He was born and raised in White Oaks, Hockey State. He is a transgender man and once he began transitioning, his father kicked him out of his home, leaving him homeless.  

Kian used what money he saved and scrounged up to move down south to Pink Top City, where it was warmer. Kian played the synthesizer on the street to earn a few bucks while he slept on the beach. Anthony and Deimos were impressed with his skills and felt he deserved better, so they took him on as their keyboardist, and the band formed in 1983.

Kian is the heart and the voice of reason of the group to the impish prankster Anthony and the jaded, cynical Deimos. He’s bright, optimistic, and always tries to make the best of a bad situation and look on the brighter side of life. This is just a mask for the sadness he hides from the world and the grudge he holds against his father. 

However, he also sees this as an opportunity. Growing up, he felt he never fit in, but since moving down south to Pink Top City, he feels he belongs with his two friends and his band. 

On the side, Kian works as a short-order cook at a ghetto pizza shop called Pizzas, Gyros, & More.

Strengths: Passionate, Compassionate, Loyal, Calm, Creative

Weaknesses: Low Self-Esteem, Sensitive, Pushover, Avoids his Problems, Holds Grudges

Likes: Yoga, Baking, Cooking, Iced Tea, Playing the Synthesizer, Fast Food, Potato Chips, Soda, Sweets, Eating, New Age Music

Dislikes: His Father, Narrow-Minded People, Memories of Being Homeless, Alcohol, Seeing People get Hurt, Anthony’s Pranks, Deimos’ Temper, Coffee, His Receding Hairline 

Trivia: 

-He always wears a bandana or hat on his head to hide his receding hairline, which embarrasses him.  

-If he never joined Ouro Novo, he would have loved to become a chef.

TROPES

Adorkable: He easily comes off as this through his earnest-but-goofy demeanor.

All-Loving Hero: Kian has consistently shown to be an extremely kind-hearted, forgiving, and patient person. He tries to give everyone the benefit of the doubt and the only person he resents would be his father. 

Big Fun: He is quite large and loves to have a good time.

Extreme Doormat: He lets people walk all over him and doesn't raise objections when the club owners try to stiff the band when they perform in their club.

BIO

Dr. Sylvia Hughes, the founder of Pixelsun Securities. She has been a friend of the Donati family ever since she emigrated from Anglia in 1977. She always has the family’s best interest at heart.

She is an infosec consultant. Companies hire her to find vulnerabilities in their websites or office networks—routes through which they may be hacked, leak data, etc. and either fix them or recommend changes that would mitigate them. She could reverse-engineer a virus, other malware, or vulnerable software. That means she examines the binary code the computer actually runs and figures out what the software does from that. 

She was the eldest child of Hayden and Olivia-Rose Hughes. Dr. Hayden Hughes taught her everything he knew about programming, math, and engineering. Her paternal grandmother, Dr. Marie Hughes, was one of the pioneers of programming. She was a skilled mathematician who worked on several projects in her day. 

Sylvia has traveled the world, met many interesting people, and yearns to make her landmark on every train station on the planet. Since she was a child, she was fascinated with trains and how they operate. She has a room dedicated to building her own toy train stations, trains, and railways. 

Sylvia is private about her past. She knows a lot more about who attempted to assassinate Demetrio more than she lets on. 

On the exterior, Sylvia appears stern and uptight but is caring toward those close to her, always willing to lend an ear, and gives wise advice on how to handle the situation. She is always there to console Blair during his time of need and isn't afraid to be blunt with Celeste when necessary.

Natsumi is the 22-year-old bartender of the All-Asian strip club, Dynamite Kitties. She works alongside Hideaki Miyagi at the bar. Ever since Natsumi took her younger brother after they emancipated from their parents, she took a job bartending at a strip club and had to find a roommate to help pay the rent. 

Growing up, Natsumi never fit in being the tallest girl and tallest person in school during her time in Shin-Yamato. Any potential suitors her father, Nobuyuki, set up were scared off by her height. Her father was sponsored by a company in the US when the family emigrated in 1979. Natsumi and her brother emancipated from their parents in 1982. She couldn't deal with their father's abuse and strict rules and their mother's alcoholism. Financially, life is tough but she and Naoto are happier. 

Natsumi had a hard time fitting in American schools at first so she adopted a valley girl accent and copied the local girls to Americanize herself. 

Natsumi is friendly, outgoing, open, and athletic. She loves working out and keeping fit but always wants to be feminine since she was always deemed masculine and tomboyish growing up. She dreams of opening up a flower shop or her own cake shop one day. 

Despite Natsumi finding men attractive and liking them, she's rather conservative about sex and is waiting for the right man. She dreams of being a bride one day. She and Raijin dated briefly. She dumped him when she had enough of his vapid, shallowness and pushing her to have sex with him when she didn't want it. Raijin wants to sue her for breaking up with him. 

Her paternal grandmother, Mayuka, and she had a close bond. She trained Natsumi in the ninja arts as she was a part of an all-female ninja clan. 

Natsumi loves talking to Percy during her shift or any of the clients willing to strike up a conversation. She also acts as a second bouncer to Jimbo when it becomes too overwhelming for him. 

Strengths: Energetic, Friendly, Excellent Communicator, Observant, Caring

Weaknesses: Highly Emotional, Zealous, Short Temperament, Impulsive, Aggressive

Likes: Gardening, baking, sewing, romance novels, shopping, martial arts, cute stuffed animals, hanging out with her friends, Her paternal grandmother, Misaki, Albert, Percy

Trivia: 

-Often makes stuffed animals for Albert's charities to raise funds. 

-Makes her own clothes. 

-Has her own home gym. 

80s Hair

Berserk Button: Men with Asian fetishes, which is strange considering where she works are full of men with Asian fetishes. It could stem from Seymour Jr.'s attraction to Misaki. Seymour Jr. is also a berserk button of hers as well as mocking her height. 

Big Eater: She can eat a lot of food! 

The Big Girl: Natsumi stands out by being taller than everyone else, even most men. She knows martial arts and kicks ass.

Big Sister Instinct: One of the reasons she emancipated from her parents is because her father was abusive to Naoto for performing poorly in school. 

Bruiser with a Soft Center: She is physically strong with a reputation as a brawler. Despite her brashness, and her tendency to resort to intimidation/violence to deal with enemies and delinquents, she is a friendly, warm-hearted, generous girl who wouldn’t lay a finger on an innocent person.

Feminine Women Can Cook: She secretly confides to Albert that she only got into cooking to compensate for her tomboyishness.

Girly Bruiser: She's the most tomboyish girl in the group is still this. Natsumi loves cooking and shopping and is very boy-crazy. 

Good Is Not Soft: Natsumi is a sweet girl and has a motherly demeanor, but if you try to hurt her friends, you better run.

Height Angst: She knows that men don't usually go for tall women, much to her chagrin.

In Love with Love: Aside from her flower or cake shop, Natsumi's other dream is to be a bride someday. 

Ninja: She is a descendent of an all-female ninja clan. 

Parental Abandonment: She and her brother emancipated from their parents due to their lack of support and abuse. She has a bond with her paternal grandmother, though. 

Platonic Life-Partners: With Percy and Albert. She has no romantic feelings for either but is usually seen with one or the other. 

Statuesque Stunner: Natsumi's height is easily equal to that of many adult American men. Unfortunately, most people are more likely to be intimidated by her height than attracted.

Supreme Chef: Aspires to one day own her very own bakery.

Tomboy Angst: Natsumi is very well aware that she's not very feminine, so she tries to make up for it in other ways. 

Tomboyish Ponytail

Tomboy with a Girly Streak: She's physically strong and can beat up most grown men. She's also a great cook, seamstress, housekeeper, and an aspiring florist and baker.

Misaki is an 18-year-old exotic dancer at the All-Asian strip club, Dynamite Kitties, under her stage name "Hime-Chan." Misaki never had plans to become a dancer at a gentlemen's club until she met Seymour Donovan the Third. She knew Seymour went to the club often and she had to catch his eye. She begged her best friend, Natsumi Nozomi—who works as a bartender at the club—to get her on as a dancer at the club so she could catch Seymour's eye. 

Misaki caught Seymour's eye long ago because she is the perfect woman for him: she's Asian, she's a virgin, and she's saving herself for marriage. Seymour was engaged to another woman until she "mysteriously vanished." Misaki loves Seymour because she's under the false notion he's kind, generous, and charitable. She doesn't know this is a façade to lure her in and his father is forcing him to put on a good front for the family name. 

Misaki is shy, optimistic, a hopeless romantic who has a lot of love in her, and a lot of love to give. She and Natsumi butt heads when it comes to Seymour because Natsumi knows Seymour would never give her the love she deserves and is using her for his own sexual gratification. 

Misaki declares she will quit working for Dynamite Kitties when Seymour proposes to her so she can start a family with him and settle down.
