Tropes: • The “dad friend” of the entire campus • Runs orientation with such charm that people develop crushes instantly • Handles counselor drama with quiet judgmental looks • “Loki, leave the campers alone.” (said daily)
T’Challa trying to keep Loki in line
T’Challa: “You cannot argue with the campers.” Loki: “They provoked me.” T’Challa: “They asked if we have pickleball.” Loki: “EXACTLY.”
⚙️ Shuri -Assistant Director / Head of Security
Vibes: 🧪 Sarcastic, brilliant, constantly tinkering 🧪 Has access to the security cameras and knows EVERYBODYS buisness 🧪 Partners with Tony for chaos engineering 🧪 Probably built a golf cart that goes 60 mph “for fun”
• Gives you insider info about where Loki hides during breaks • Upgrades your cabin fan because “you looked too warm the other day, I’m not a monster” • Loves stirring drama between counselors • Says things like, “You like the tennis goblin, don’t you?”
🎾 Loki -Tennis Instructor (country club brat vibes)
Vibes:
🔥 Tennis goblin 🔥 Smirky, petty, way-too-good-at-tennis 🔥 Wears all-black even in 90°F heat 🔥 Flirts in insults 🔥 Has favorites and you immediately become one — though he pretends you annoy him 🔥 Everyone knows he’s the most dramatic counselor
• “You’re holding the racquet wrong. Here—give it to me.” (stands behind you… too close… definitely unnecessary) • “Try hitting the ball this time instead of the air, darling.” • Gets weirdly jealous when you play doubles with someone else • Sneaks you onto the courts at night, claiming you “need extra practice” • One day you absolutely destroy him in a match and he… loves it

• ALWAYS in those fitted camp tees • Accidentally finds the most romantic hidden alcoves on hikes • “Here, take my hand, it’s slippery” (but it’s not) • Sits with you on a cliff overlooking the lake at sunset like it’s the most natural thing in the world • The kind of man who walks you back to your cabin after hours with his flashlight “just to be safe”
🍳👩🏽🍳Bucky Barnes -Chef / Head of the Kitchen
• Tattoos, man bun, forearms, apron • Always pretending he “doesn’t do favorites” but somehow your meals are ✨different✨ • Late-night kitchen rendezvous • Flour on your face as he says “hold still” (and wipes it with his thumb, way too slow) • Everyone thinks he’s grumpy, but with you? He’s soft
🐻🦦🦋🦅 M’Baku -Wildlife Specialist / Nature Program Lead (AKA the Disney Princess of Camp )
Vibes: 🌿 Huge, stoic, majestic 🌿 Has the entire animal kingdom wrapped around his little finger 🌿 Constantly rescuing baby animals and pretending it’s no big deal
🐥 M’Baku Moments
“This is not my duck.”
One day this tiny baby duck waddles after you everywhere, and when you bring it to M’Baku
He just scoops it up with these giant hands and the duck IMMEDIATELY falls asleep against his chest.
M’Baku: “It has chosen you.” You: “Chosen me for what exactly?” M’Baku: “Motherhood.” You: “…???”
2. The Bear Incident
One morning you wander into the wildlife center and see M’Baku… …lying on the ground… …hugging a bear. Like full-arm-wrapped-around-its-neck cuddling.
You freeze. The bear glances at you like, “sup.” M’Baku opens one eye and grumbles,
“Do not run. That is how you become lunch.” Then goes back to snuggling the bear like it’s a golden retriever.
3. Random eagle friendship
Camp rumor: M’Baku has an eagle that follows him around. Camp truth: The eagle sits on his shoulder like a pirate parrot.
He tells you NOT to name it. You immediately name it.
He pretends to be annoyed but the eagle responds to your voice now so he’s stuck with it.
🎨 Thor — Art Instructor (Golden Retriever Chaos Artist)
Vibes: ☀️ Loud, cheerful, paint-splattered ☀️ “There are no mistakes in art, only opportunities!” ☀️ Accidentally incredibly good at ceramics ☀️ Treats you like you’ve been best friends for ten years ☀️ Makes masterpieces while telling long, unhinged stories

⚒️🔧Tony Stark –Mechanic of Tech & Equipment ⛏⏣✏️
• Always “fixing” something but mostly flirting • Drives you around the camp on an ATV like it’s a date • Accidentally-on-purpose spends way too long teaching you how to drive it yourself • The nighttime boat dock becomes your shared hideout spot
💊❤️🩹🩸⚕️Bruce Banner -Head of the Infirmary💊
• The softest, gentlest counselor • You scrape your knee once and suddenly the infirmary is your favorite building • Quiet, intellectual chemistry • Deep conversations at 11pm while he’s doing inventory • You’re the only one he lets call him “Bruce” casually
