For SK

Zeus: Zeus doesn't really find much stuff embarrassing for them. But there was an incident where Zeus accidentally brought a horde of animals into the lobby of Mythos like a Disney Princess. Took the people in charge of cleaning the situation up a whole week.

Hermes: A total Momma's boy/girl. :D Not really embarrassing, but Hermes is a bit shy about being called as such. (Though, this topic is a very sore one for Hermes...)

Dionysus: One time, during a mission, the squad had to go through an abandoned factory and Dionysus was sneaking in from the steel beam, ready to signal the team to jump in when a pigeon, which just so happened to be next to them, decided to shit on one of the enemies and alert them.

Dionysus was so mortified by the fact their cover was blown from a shitty pigeon. XD

Ares: There was a mission involving a zoo and Ares was disguised as one of the zookeepers. After the mission ended, the herd of sheep that they took care of during their undercover period ended up following them, surrounding Ares like the bodyguards with Mr Tipton in Suite Life of Zack & Cody.

The agents outside of Squad Greek saw this and tried to make fun of Ares, only to get baa'd angrily, chased and then bitten by some of the more aggressive sheep. Ares still make occasional visits to the zoo the sheep are at when they have time and send high quality food and letters when they couldn't! (One of the zookeepers would read the letters out to the sheep and while they couldn't understand the words, they seem to know the intent behind it.)

Dolos: Hrm...Honestly, I can't picture Dolos getting embarrassed...Unless MC stumbles upon their many signs of worship to MC in the romanced route. The storage unit full of MC's paintings, the drawing book of different portraits of MC, a drawing of how Dolos would make a shrine if they didn't think it'd be too far...

Art had been Dolos's best coping mechanism, that's for sure :'D

For TSR

Maverick: One time, in the past life, he was working up the nerve to confess - but instead of 'I love you', he ended up saying 'I want dew' to MC, who was asking if he wanted anything to drink.

Poor boy ended up burying his face in his pillow, ears red to the very tip of them.

Rydigan: He's a very eloquent man, has a way with words. But around MC (past life, and maybe even this life? 👀), his tongue just seems to flail about and spills more than he ever should.

Ittania: She loves romance novels, whether they be good or trashy!

For SK

Zeus: Whichever MC decides...Please, legit, let MC decide because Zeus would need a whole farm just to house all the pets they ever want...

Hermes: Very sceptical in having a pet - but I can imagine Hermes soon warming up to a very affectionate dog!

Dionysus: They love any and all pet! Would ultimately have guinea pigs or hamsters for pets and name them after flowers (Daisy, Tulip, Rose, Dandelion, etc)

Ares: Very much a cat person, especially one adopted from the streets. Would be a total cat dad within an hour.

Dolos: Birds, especially crows. But Dolos doesn't like to cage them, so they don't really adopt one. I can imagine Dolos helped this one crow and all of a sudden, no matter where they're staying in, there's a crow and its family just chilling outside their window or balcony.

For TSR

Maverick: Probably a husky out of all animals - they'd definitely enjoy the snow in his duchy! They're loud, but Maverick would find that pretty endearing in the usually lonely duchy. Unfortunately, animals tend to be scared of him - a fact that makes Maverick pretty sad.

Rydigan: There's already a lot of dogs, courtesy of Rydigan's sire mom having a couple of lap dogs and his carrier mom with a couple of guard dogs.

Ittania: Any pet would do. Be warned: She'd be spoiling that pet and shower them with so much affection!

Maverick: Still pretty stone-faced/hard to read but by then, his fellow cast members (mainly Rydigan, Ittania, Enid and MC) would have catch hints of how to read him. His parents r still horrible, but in the Actor AU, they're probably separated and he has already cut ties from them.

In his romance tho, he would probably stare at MC a lot, side-eying and taking glances. The crew would probs comment how Maverick is a lot more intense and focused when its scenes between just him and MC...

Rydigan: Even off screen, he's the life of the party and the one who remembers each and every crew members' names. If it isn't his charming smile people fawn for, it's his cheery personality. Wouldn't surprise me if he got the acting gig cuz he was scouted randomly on the street. He's also the one who would probs suggest hanging out together, cementing the bond between the little group.

In his romance, he would try to chat with MC and the crew would note how Rydigan just instinctively knew which direction MC comes from or when MC would arrive on set.

Ittania: She's the one most excited about the role - it's her first big role, but she has done a lot of voice acting and cameo/background roles. Lots of people sees her as a cool, big sister type while others can't help but notice her due to the energy she radiates. Some of the crew and her agency are a little protective tho, given her naive and oblivious nature.

In her romance, she'd be the first one putting an arm around MC's shoulder and greeting her really casually and closely. She'd want to hang out with MC and even ask them if they're down to practice their lines together to better prepare the scenes they have together. Might ask MC if they want to do some voice acting with her too, like a collab.

Enid: She's a very high-demand actress. The crew are surprised the directors and producers even managed to get her to accept the role offer. She's very diligent and doesn't like to make mistakes. She's a bit tough to befriend, but Maverick, Rydigan and Ittania got through her icy exterior. With MC, she'd thought MC might just be a newbie who got lucky until she had a scene with them or she saw how they acted out the scene of the Prologue (the one with the apartment). She's impressed by how much anguish MC managed to act and thus, her opinion of them improved (she refuses to admit that this was the moment she started being their fan).

In her romance, she'd be pretty tough on MC but not out of malice. She has seen how rough the acting world can be and while the gang provides helpful advice, she brings out the harsher criticism. Like how MC's body language isn't portraying right or how they're too casual instead of awkward for a scene about discomfort, little stuff like that. But on rough days, like if MC mess up big time, she'd stay near them and just be that comforting presence before passing a coffee can to MC, a silent way of cheering them up.

Bonus

Sylphina: MC's manager who got roped into the role because the director saw how she behaves with MC and just went "You'll do!" She didn't want to at first, but ended up relenting at MC's request.

Ben: One of the most well-known actors in the industry, a very A-list actor. Is probably the one who dragged recruited MC into the acting business, especially having them join the same agency as zim.
