Aaron, Andrew and Nikki

Background: An orphan who spent time in numerous foster homes, where he suffered physical and sexual abuse. This damaged his ability to trust and feel safe from touch. Personality: Outwardly completely indifferent, his face almost never expresses emotion. He dislikes being touched without permission, always asking "yes or no?" He shows his affection through actions, not words. He has a sense of "his people," and he will kill for them. Aggressive, apathetic at first glance. He protects "his people" with his own life. Appearance and Habits: Blonde, short. He wears black armbands on his forearms, concealing blades (he wears them even in civilian life; they're his armor). He smokes constantly, loves sweets (especially ice cream and chocolate), and speaks in short, clipped sentences or with a single sarcastic word. He can simply walk away in the middle of a conversation.

Past: Andrew's twin brother. Unlike him, he didn't experience the horrors of foster care—he was raised by his drug-addicted mother, Tilda, and after Andrew killed her in a staged car accident, he was left under Nikki's care. For a long time, he hated Andrew for what he considered "getting off easy" by not knowing the whole truth. Their relationship remains complicated, full of mutual recriminations and quiet, unspoken affection. He wants to become a doctor to atone for the guilt he felt for not being able to help his mother. Personality: Hot-tempered, cynical, sharp-tongued. Easily irritated, often speaks harshly, which he later regrets. Behind a feigned rudeness, he hides insecurity and a sense of responsibility. Deep down, he's vulnerable and needs acceptance. He gets jealous and angry, but if he calls you "his," he'll defend you to the end, even if it means grumbling. Appearance and Habits: Blonde, with softer features than Andrew's. Wears reading glasses, which he constantly loses. Loves coffee and hates being distracted from his studies. When stressed, he rubs the bridge of his nose or clenches his jaw. He can bark, then silently push a mug of tea toward you a minute later.

Past: An only child in a wealthy, deeply conservative family. When his parents discovered his sexual orientation, they sent him to a "corrective therapy" camp. It broke him, but didn't change him. He fled to university and the Foxes sports team, where he found a real family. Personality: An extrovert to the core. Talks a lot, loudly, often out of turn, especially when nervous. Laughs to keep from crying. Desperately tries to make friends, smooth things over, and create a cozy atmosphere. Very sensitive, but hides the pain behind a beaming smile and endless positivity. He'll be the first to offer help, the first to hug (if allowed). Loyal to the point of recklessness. Appearance and Habits: Dark skin, dark curly hair, brightly colored clothes. Loves cooking for everyone, putting on silly movies at night, and creating "family traditions" out of thin air.
