Full Name: Percival Hauyne SpeckleGender and Sexuality: Cis male (unless that changes), gayPronouns: He/him/hisEthnicity/Species: Berry Human; genetically there’s mild Chinese influence due to his father having been made from a fling in the streets of Takemizu VillageBirthplace and Birthdate: Starsign is Leo. He was born on Summer 9 (at a time roughly corresponding to August 16) in Pleasantview; his mom moved them to Twinbrook when he was eight. Guilty Pleasures: Rings. He loves looking at them and buying them and trying them on. The more or larger the diamonds, the better. Mood rings, too, to a lesser extent - he knows for a fact they don’t work, but they’re pretty just the same, especially the antique silver ones. Phobias: His ex-best friend had a long standing joke that commas once tried to kill him, because he never uses them when he’s writing or typing. Ever. When it comes to phobias that are more potent and less pretend, he has legit had nightmares about the screeching of chalkboards because it sounds way too much like the screeching of car tires. (Let’s just say he had a very near miss.) Oddly enough, though, he’s really calm around fires.What They Would Be Famous For: Petting all the dogs and cats he passes in the street, or monopolizing the Touchy Feely sections of the zoo or aquarium.What They Would Get Arrested For: Accidentally petting a seeing-eye dog by mistake, causing it to run off and drag the owner into a lamppost, giving her a stint in hospital and a four-hour concussion. …Not that he’s had that happen. Nope.OC You Ship Them With: Since Zachary Helgrave obviously does not exist in this continuity… I don’t know. I’ll wait for a bachelor to hit the scene for him to go to before I try and answer that. OC Most Likely To Murder Them: Zeinaba or Bassel Sharp for messing with any of their stuff. Favorite Movie/Book Genre: You know that sub-sector of memoirs about animals and how they affect humans? Stuff like “Marley & Me” and “Saved by Gracie” and that book about the really intelligent grey parrot that understood the concept of zero? Those. Least Favorite Movie/Book Cliche: The “hero’s only flaws are object-based ones such as smoking or alcohol addiction that fall in and out of his character as the plot dictates” cliche.Talents and/or Powers: If firefighting wasn’t his ultimate dream, he’d make a good vet; he can tell what an animal is feeling very well.Why Someone Might Love Them: He’s go no qualms whatsoever. If he wants to do something, he’ll do it. If he wants to say something, he’ll say it. If you’re friends with him and you have someone or something giving you shit, he has your back. He’ll beat off assailers with a tire iron if necessary.Why Someone Might Hate Them: He has no real concept of the value of money, preferring to spend now than save for later. It doesn’t help that, when it comes to possessions, he always seems to want much more than he actually has. He attributes it to spending more now to get a better quality product in the long run, but for most of the stuff he applies that philosophy to, he wants to replace it within the season. No amount of frappery is enough, even for his pets - he pampered Titanic (who Ms Speckle kept after kicking him out - see below) more than is healthy, and would do the same to any pet he owned, and to non-animal lovers, that can come off as obnoxious.
Interruption that could fit into either of the above two questions: As much as he likes the finer material things in life, he stands very little in the way of human bullshit. He has higher tolerance levels for really close companions, but even then his patience is finite. It’s actually what led to that ex-best friend being ex. The friend (who I’ll call F now) kept talking about his relationship with his girlfriend over the course of three straight days while Percy, genuinely trying to be supportive, listened. But when Percy then tried to talk about his attempts at getting dates, F recoiled and was like “Perce, we’ve talked about this, I don’t push my sexuality in your face”. Percy was like “then what the hell was the last three days”, they got into a big fight and it was clear afterwards they could never get back on their old footing. Afterwards, F, in what he probably thought was ‘petty’ revenge, phoned up Percy’s mom and outed him to her; and that’s what led to Percy being kicked out of the house. (TBH, the two were on borderline financial difficulties anyway, and one of them would have had to leave sooner or later; Ms Speckle just seized on the outing as an excuse for a more immediate eviction.)
How They Change: I imagine that, if he fell in love, particularly with a Frugal person, his snobby edges would be softened somewhat. Why You Love Them: He’s so pretty and speckle-y and bright
Full Name: Debra Lynette Stipe Osorio. Stipe was her mom’s maiden name. (Kansas’, for reference, was Kansas Hayley Jill Osorio. The Osorio family’s big on middle names.)Gender and Sexuality: Demigirl, with uncertainty of what the ‘demi’ part is; demi-homosexual, demiromantic. You know how some people like Jojo Law are Triple-A when it comes to this question? Debra is Triple-D, mate.Pronouns: She/her/her for nowEthnicity/Species: White Vanilla HumanBirthplace and Birthdate: Starsign is Sagittarius; she was born on Winter 1 (roughly December 2) in Oasis Springs, where she’s stayed until now.Guilty Pleasures: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, particularly the movies (movies and TV are about the only tech she can cope with, everything else is beyond her). Yes, even the one with Vanilla Ice. Yes, even Michael Bay Turtles. Yes, even The Making Of The Coming Out Of Our Shells Tour.Phobias: Dying young. …Well, dying at all TBH, but particularly dying before she’s made the most of her time on this sinful earth. Also thunderstorms.What They Would Be Famous For: Hopefully, making it big in the dancing or entertainment world.What They Would Get Arrested For: Public disturbances at 1 in the morning, be that through parties or charity fundraisers that span out of control.OC You Ship Them With: Codi, of course.OC Most Likely To Murder Them: Of the people in the BC house? Jordyn Casey.Favorite Movie/Book Genre: A toss-up between music movies like Step Up, and action movies - the kind where something is hit every ten minutes, or something invariably explodes.Least Favorite Movie/Book Cliche: The “gay people’s character arcs revolve entirely around their being gay with no subplots or extra development” cliche. That’s part of why Glee left a bad taste in her mouth.Talents and/or Powers: Dancing, of course - her dream isn’t a fool’s errand, you know. She’s got a brilliant sense of internal rhythm, and throws her all into every move… even if her focus can be a bit haphazard.Why Someone Might Love Them: Her excitable demeanor is infectious. When she’s happy, it’s very difficult not to be happy for her too. Why Someone Might Hate Them: She can get a little bit… preachy. It can grate at times.How They Change: Unknown; we’ll have to see how the BC goes.Why You Love Them: Debra is, without hyperbole, shaped like a friend.
