Tell me about your most well developed oc
Oh fuck. My friend. Allow me to introduce you to the actual love of my life, my son and stars (pun intended), my unabashed self insert (kinda) -Ā

Noahās mom committed suicide when he was five years old, which completely wrecked his already fragile father. The two moved in with Noahās dadās older sister and her husband and their daughter, who was only two at the time.Ā
This incredibly traumatic incident early on has left Noah with some unusual quirks⦠most notably an obsession with death. Heās wickedly smart, especially with math and statistics. Noah memorizes facts and probabilities as a coping mechanism. (Ofc he wouldnāt call it that) He especially likes to memorize names and the amounts of people that have said names, and facts about suicide and death in general.Ā
Noah spends probably 80% of his time thinking about death.Ā
He has burgeoning signs of borderline personality disorder/type two bipolar disorder (not saying theyāre the same thing - more as in I havenāt cemented his actual diagnoses) which is only made more difficult by his PTSD.
Despite this, Noah seems rather well adjusted. He a high school senior (graduating two years ahead), is very involved in his schoolās GSA, and has a healthy relationship with his best friend, Daffodil Elizabeth Summers, or Liz for short. (Her parents are major hippies and I love her so much.) He gets along well with his aunt and uncle and has a sibling-like relationship with his cousin Stella. Noah internalizes most of his issues, so although he comes across a little quiet and kind of intense/standoffish, you wouldnāt peg him as troubled.Ā
Noahās dad is incredibly flighty and unstable. For Noahās entire life heās been leaving for months at a time, letting his sister and brother-in-law take care of his son. They day after Noahās 14th birthday his dad took aĀ ābusiness tripā and hasnāt been seen since - no cards, no letters, no sign of life except for a monthly check being deposited in Noahās auntās checking account labeledĀ āChild Support.ā Noah asks if there is any mail from his father every day, and there never is. He tries to pretend that this is not killing him.Ā
Entire Alastair Everrett. Alastair transfers into their school midyear. Heās rich, heās outgoing, heās funny, heās charismatic, heās weird but he seems proud of it. They meet at a GSA meeting, and while sparks donāt fly, they are amiable towards each other.Ā
Liz, ever the mom friend, both wants to help Alastair as the new kid and wants Noah to increase his social circle, so she adopts him into their small friend group (which is Noah, Liz, and Lizās SO - Cade). Noah and Alastair start to develop feelings for each other (because duh)
But Alastair is weird. Heās never really allowed to go out any where. He has a car but has to ride the bus. His mom is really nice, but heās always complaining about her. And heās really *really* reckless.Ā
I kind of got off track in to plot things oops lol.
Long story short Noah is so stressed and constantly on the edge of his rope someone help him.Ā
