POPULATION: THE CAST
because i am extremely in love with this little universe in my head. WARNING!!! there's a lot of reading in this so be prepared.
TASHA SHOW: The main host of POPULATION! Totally hasn't kidnapped the contestants and totally doesn't have a house that changes its look every couple weeks/months and isn't in the center of an apocalypse, nooooppee! 43 years old (yikes...) and she/any!
CIRO: A nonbinary 19 year old who really draws too much attention to themselves, more than xe thinks... uses neopronouns, and it/its as well! Might have magic powers.
JOAQUINA: A 17 year old... individual who has a pet rat and is one big jerk. Is their attitude really that different than others here, though? Any pronouns, except for the ones you assumed they just used.
ZOE: A hacker and potential zombie. 19 years old, and really good with technology. Scarily good. Seems to be riling followers up on an unnamed social media. She/they respectively. They won't hurt you, let them bite, come on! NAOMI: A 20 year old she/her and xe/xem user. Quite literally does not give a care about the fact xe is probably kidnapped. Dresses goth because, who honestly gives a shit? Oldest of the group. Probably would be diagnosed with SZPD...if there was a way to be diagnosed in a house that changes every week or so. Bleugh.
TADEO: 17 year old STRAIGHT CISGENDER MAN. Unaware demiboy. He/him. Somehow has really bad luck with technology to the point where he brought an artificial intelligence to goddamn sentience. Really likes rap battles. Would probably win at Mad Verse City every. Single. Time.
UMA: A sentient A.I. who was pretty much brought into this world to help Tadeo with his rap skills. Due to its sentience though, she usually ends up winning. She/it. Likes pissing Tadeo off. A lot.
PORCIA: 17 year old, and legal name is Portia (with english pronunciation). She/her and zhey/zhem pronouns (pronounced zay-zem). An anarchopunk who hated this fucking house and everyone in it and wants to explode it into dust. Don't let zhem into the gunpowder. Has a weird relationship going on with Macarena. Has a weird relationship with Tasha as well. She prefers to not talk about...it.
MACARENA: 17 year old, she/he butch. ADHD. He had an ableist and extremely religious teacher who treated him like shit, so he stabbed her repeatedly. With a pair of scissors. No, she doesn't regret it one bit, but she iiiisss feeling a little weird about it, considering she's with other people now who could find out. Heavy, heavy catholic guilt. Has a weird relationship going with that goth, anarchist kid in the house.
EVERYONE'S OPINION ON TASHA
CIRO: "You kidnapped us? And here I'd thought the kidnapper would be more scary."
JOAQUINA: "Fix the makeup first, then talk to me."
ZOE: "Cool. Can you help me infect the rest of the world with a nanovirus and make everyone a human zombie?"
NAOMI: "Mhm, keep telling yourself that."
TADEO: "That's... scary. I guess."
UMA: "Kidnapping or abduction is the unlawful abduction and confinement of a person against their will, and is a crime in many jurisdictions. Kidnapping may be accomplished by use of force or fear, or a victim may be enticed into confinement by fraud or deception. Kidnapping is distinguished from false imprisonment by the intentional movement of the victim to a different location...." PORCIA: "Freak."
MACARENA: "..."
