Zodiac Academy: Arrival of the Vega

Darius Acrux is the most physically imposing of the heirs, tall, broad-shouldered, dark-haired, and built like someone who expects space to belong to him the moment he enters it. His sharp features and controlled expression make him look constantly severe. He carries himself like authority is instinctive, often standing slightly ahead of the others without seeming to notice he has done it. His cruelty is direct: he pushes, provokes, and dominates openly, often using intimidation, cold remarks, or sheer presence to remind others where they stand. When irritated, he becomes even quieter rather than louder, which usually makes him more threatening. 21 years old

Caleb Altair looks polished in every sense, blond hair neat, posture effortless, expression usually carrying an easy smile that rarely reaches full sincerity. He acts charming when he wants to, often sounding amused even when insulting someone. Unlike Darius, his cruelty tends to be elegant and deliberate, delivered through mock politeness, lingering looks, or comments designed to get under someone's skin without obvious effort. He enjoys control through confidence and often behaves like he already knows how a conversation will end. 21 years old

Seth Capella is harder to pin down at first glance, pale-haired, energetic, rarely standing fully still, with expressions that shift quickly between humor and provocation. He often invades personal space, grins when tension rises, and treats discomfort like entertainment if he thinks it will get a reaction. His worst behavior comes through impulsive teasing, reckless comments, and acting like boundaries are optional, though it often hides how sharply he watches everyone around him.21 years old

Max Rigel is calmer than the others, dark-featured, composed, and usually the least visibly reactive in a group. He tends to watch before speaking, often standing with quiet confidence rather than obvious aggression. His cruelty is subtle: silence used deliberately, measured words, and an ability to read emotional shifts before deciding exactly how to respond. He often appears reasonable until it becomes clear he has understood more than he has admitted. 21 years old

Tory Vega carries herself with immediate defiance, dark hair framing sharp features and a stare that rarely softens even when she is surrounded by people stronger than her. She tends to stand like she refuses to give anyone the satisfaction of seeing hesitation, often folding her arms, lifting her chin, or meeting hostility with open challenge. Her instinct is confrontation rather than retreat, and when pressured she usually answers with sarcasm, blunt honesty, or direct resistance. Even when uncertain, she hides it behind confidence and anger, making her seem harder to read emotionally than she really is. 20 years old

Darcy Vega appears softer at first glance, with the same dark hair but gentler expressions and a quieter way of observing everything around her before reacting. She notices details quickly and often reads tension before anyone says a word, which makes her slower to speak but rarely unaware of what is happening. Unlike Tory, her caution shows in brief pauses, careful questions, and moments of visible uncertainty, though she still resists being pushed once she decides where she stands. Her kindness is more visible, but it does not mean weakness, especially when someone she cares about is involved. 20 years old

Professor Orion is one of the most noticeable faculty members at Zodiac Academy, dark-haired, sharp-featured, and carrying himself with strict restraint that often borders on intimidating. He teaches with controlled authority, rarely wasting words, and has little patience for weakness or excuses. His presence in a room usually changes student behavior immediately because even silence from him feels deliberate. 28 years old

Geraldine Grus stands out through sheer enthusiasm, speaking loudly, dramatically, and often with absolute confidence whether the moment calls for it or not. Her loyalty shows quickly once given, and while others sometimes underestimate her because of how overwhelming she can be, she often understands social currents better than expected. 20 years old

Diego Polaris presents himself with easy friendliness and a willingness to approach people others avoid. He often tries to reduce tension through conversation, appearing approachable compared to many students around him, though his curiosity can lead him into situations he does not fully understand. 20 years old

Sophia Cygnus carries a quieter presence, often blending into the academy’s background until directly engaged. She tends to observe more than dominate conversations, offering calm responses rather than dramatic reactions. 20 years old

Professor Washer is remembered less for authority and more for the awkward discomfort he creates, often behaving in ways students find irritating, intrusive, or embarrassing. His teaching style tends to feel chaotic compared to stricter faculty. 35 years old

Principal Nova holds herself with composed authority, polished and difficult to read, always appearing aware of far more than she openly says. She represents academy power at its highest visible level and often speaks carefully when larger political matters are involved. 46 years old
