#this got...so long

pidge: competent with pretty much every character on the roster, favors sombra since the buff, but previously preferred mei. always hacks the best, most relevant health packs and has an uncanny sense of timing when it comes to hacking enemies who are about to ult. pidge is also every shitlord you’ve ever played with and is the torbojorn whose potg is just a visual of torb sitting in a corner while the turret gets a quad kill.  will absolutely t bag you. spends too much money on loot boxes. silver portrait. pidge please stop playing overwatch and go to sleep.

WELL THANK YOU FOR ASKING (pulling a little bit from the foxes + other sports/physical activity they’re good at hc’s waiting in my drafts)

(feel like i should also mention that i am very much just a Spectator and i don’t know anything about actual logistics and stuff. just pretend it makes sense)

wymack is the head coach of the foxes, a controversial skating club that only accepts kids from broken homes

plenty of their skaters rank pretty well in competitions but they rarely ever medal, so u.s. figure skating is constantly harassing them

the ravens are the best skating club around (think eteri tutberidze’s sambo 70) but are also very controversial for a number of reasons

probably the biggest one is kevin day, who is the daughter of skating legend kayleigh day (she invented a complicated spin + exit move that is officially known as the “kayleigh”)

after her death, he was adopted by “family friend” kengo moriyama, who is the head coach of the ravens

riko and kevin are their star skaters and have massive fan followings, but there’s always been rumors kevin is forced to limit himself so as to not outshine riko, who is kengo’s nephew

(riko is really only good for jumps. his artistic quality is lacking. but kevin?? kevin’s artistic quality is INSANE. he glides, he floats, he whirls around, he’s very mesmerizing.)

but one day there’s an ~accident~ that occurred during practice and kevin’s ankle is absolutely busted

he temporarily leaves the ravens to be assistant coach for the foxes while healing, but he eventually switches clubs completely which causes DRAMA

a few months after this, the foxes acquire a mysterious new skater: neil josten, from arizona (not exactly a skating hub)

i am also not exactly sure how the mafia war would work in this but i’m writing these quickly so i’ll probably figure it out later

the foxes are already a pretty small group, with interesting characters

there’s the fan favorite allison reynolds, who famously deserted an olympics guaranteed coach for the foxes (although it’s rumored a falling out with her parents forced the switch, not her own choice)

her ice dance partner is seth, who wants a medal enough that it keeps him in the club, even though his relationship with her is rocky at best

matt and dan are pair skaters (tol and smol means they can do throw jumps like nobody’s business)

renee is known on the international stage as the “american sweetheart” and her friendship with nicky is iconic

nicky’s twin cousins andrew and aaron aren’t as camera friendly but their skill cannot be ignored

andrew is famous for his cantilever

abby is the team trainer, betsy is the psychologist that wymack sends them all to even though that’s not required by the association, and katelyn is abby’s intern (which is how she and aaron meet)

instead of winning the ncaa championship it’s all about getting on the podium at nationals

because figure skating is so expensive and wymack knows they’re coming from rough backgrounds, he has all of his foxes live in the same apartment complex with him 

which can be......a lot

neil is definitely not ready for nationals when he first joins, but kevin sees Potential in him and makes him do the whole “give me your skate” 

andreil obviously happens

(idk how neil and andrew can smoke and like not hack up their lungs doing triple combinations and stuff but the same could be said of exy)

seth does not d-word

teamwork™ is not that important but the fact that they’re all sharing the ice every day kinda demands that they get along a decent amount

andrew, at some point while they’re lacing up their skates: “these aren’t the only blades i have on me right now” 

neil: 

andrew: *reveals the knives under his armbands*

neil: “what the Fuck. what the absolute FuCk. wH-”

andrew: “oh and they used to be renee’s” 

neil: *blacks out*

sectionals/regionals come and go, neil really pulls through for the club, he also gets kidnapped and when he returns he makes the conscious decision not to cover up his scars with makeup while performing

the ravens reveal that riko has been perfecting quads and all the headlines are like “only man ever to successfully do quads wow who could ever beat him who could ever-” 

kevin: “me”

anyways when nationals come it’s pretty obvious that the real competition is now between the foxes and the ravens

wymack does his cool speech

the foxes show up for each other’s events to show support even though they could be resting/training some more

the whole season kevin has been holding off on really complicated jumps because of his healing ankle, but just minutes before his long program (which is his last chance before medals) wymack tweets on his behalf that kevin will be doing a series of quads

the tweet quickly goes viral, spreads through the audience, and by the time his name has been announced everyone is LOSING IT

all the foxes are huddled up together, watching nervously

kevin executes his quads flawlessly, and at the end of his program, he does a modified version of the “kayleigh”

he finishes to thunderous applause and maybe everyone is weeping

22. What does your character like in other people?

Swanface, surprisingly, has a thing for cats who are nearly the opposite of her. She gets along well with those who are more open, friendly, and just generally not as rude. Her very first friends, Sunfrost and Applenose, are pretty good examples of this. They were both very kind and caring cats, never backing down even when Swanface grumbled and hissed at them.

Crowpaw...well, quite honestly, he likes cats who admire him, who will give him praise. He’s a friendly guy, so there isn’t much he doesn’t like, but he is rather fond of cats who he feels like he can either protect and therefore earn their praise, or cats who he can impress.

Brindlekit adores absolutely everyone, really, but particularly likes those who have a passion for helping others as she does. This will lead to her looking up to authority figures, particularly medicine cats, as they help heal their clanmates.

Mantis is fond of those who are open and honest due to her trust issues. While someone being an open book still might not make her look at them with any less suspicion, she at least appreciates cats who don’t feel the need to hide their true feelings...ironic considering she does this a lot of the time, but still.

Peach has an admiration for cats with bravery and courage. She looks up to those who can stand up for themselves, who are bold and speak their minds. She tends to latch on to cats who are more forceful or pushy, trusting them to be able to care for her and make her decisions as she feels unable to do so herself.

23. does your character dislike in other people?

Swanface dislikes anybody who argues or disagrees with her...because she’s petty like that. She doesn’t enjoy cats who disobey rules constantly. She’s willing to forgive it depending on the situation, but will become angered at code breakers or those who cause constant trouble.

Crowpaw can’t stand cats who are too similar to him, which is to say cats with big egos. The competition drives him mad, and having to hear others brag about how much better they are makes him beyond furious. Crowpaw thinks that he’s the best, and everybody needs to accept it.

Brindlekit...well, it’s really hard for her to dislike anyone. She’d probably have a difficult time with cats who don’t care for anyone but themselves. Even then she’d try to get along with them somehow.

Mantis dislikes cats who shove their power or authority in other cats’ faces. She’s not fond of liars, either.
