#cupiorose

K.O. is male-female bigender, and while I picture him experimenting with his presentation and referring to himself with more feminine terminology, he exclusively uses he/him pronouns. Though he's wearing ace wristbands, he doesn't fit neatly within the ace label; it might be more apt to say he's cupiorose. In his case, that means he tends to like the activities that would be expected of romantic partners, like kissing or hand-holding, but he doesn't experience attraction towards people in a way that would be expected of those activities. This is true irrespective of the other person's gender. In short, K.O.'s orientation is "I like everyone, but not like that." Dude would thrive in a queerplatonic relationship or several.

P.K.O. is much more subtle in their presentation due to not being sure where they fit within a certain label. He/him is always an acceptable pronoun, and while right now they've indicated a preference towards they/them, they'll likely rotate between neutral pronouns and neopronouns hoping to find one that sticks. They're fairly sure they can consider themself a demiboy, but they find that they don't really vibe with "nonbinary" as a label, at least on its own. They sorta know what their gender feels like, but struggle to find terms that properly encompass it, so they end up collecting a lot of loosely-relevant terms in the hopes that the overlap makes up the difference. As for their orientation, they DO like everyone "like that," but they have yet to get their first solid crush, so they still have to sort out the particulars with that, too. They've got quite a journey ahead of them, but they're happy just knowing there's a journey for them to go on.

T.K.O. is cishet, through and through. That being said, he's a staunch ally, and is of firm belief that nobody gets to decide who or what you are except for you. He is ready to go at bat for you at a moment's notice. If you stand against his friends or family, you've got him to contend with, and you probably don't want that. He's confident enough in his own identity that he doesn't really care if you get it wrong as long as you aren't malicious about it; for example, some might peg his legwarmers as the bi colors, and his answer to that is a resounding "meh." I see him getting creative with his presentation later down the line, since he doesn't feel beholden to masculinity— or even gender itself— as a concept or a construct; wearing winged eyeliner or rocking a skirt doesn't mean he isn't a guy, or that he isn't straight. I also think he'd get really fluid with his pronouns for the same reason, once he learns you're allowed to use non-gender-indicative pronouns. He/they would be his go-to in that case, but would adopt others based on his mood or current company, or let you pick some out for him. He has fun with it.
