okay controversial DoL hcs (basically just me saying they're minorities)
PoIs that I HC as being PoC: Gwylan (Romanichal or perhaps Kale? gwylan is a welsh word...), Robin (Black (Saw cute art) ), Kylar (South Asian (projecting)), Mason (Latine (how did a latine person come to the UK? boat over the atlantic, it's modern day)), Avery (Black but a bit of an Oreo, like he'd lived in America for most of his life and started acting whiter because his parents also did so, to get respect from the upper-class society he was born into. also i know one person named avery IRL and he's black, so i thought of him when i first met avery)
PoIs that I HC as being queer outside of the default "bisexual for the player" thing: Robin (Trans; i only play with M!Robin so i HC them as transfem, but i'm sure transmasc would work too, goodbuddy probably doesn't know you can be transgender outside of crossdressing and "ladyboy fetishes", which felt bad to type out.), Gwylan (Genderqueer/Nonbinary. i just feel like they would get creative with it in a future life, where such things are less marginalized), Winter (bicurious but feels too old to actually experiment), "Mickey" (canonically nonbinary and aroace), Darryl (feels alloace to me, not to mention they're one of the only PoIs that have no lewd encounters, next to Mickey, Quinn, Sam, Charlie, and the teachers except for Mason. Darryl and Mickey, however, are the only ones who don't have a good reason to refuse other than their sexuality. quinn is rarely seen, Sam sees the PC as an employee, charlie sees the player as a vulnerable student, same with the teachers, and Mason is just easy to flirt with because you're already half-naked.)
PoIs that I HC as being physically/mentally disabled: Kylar (he probably has attachment issues due to his parents' absence as well as whatever condition causes him to be so insecure about his relationships, if someone more knowledgable in this field knows a possible candidate aside from "yandere character in a porn game" let me know!), Sydney (clinical amnesia from the treatment Harper gave wrt Sydney's other parent. we don't see it, but i hc sydney has having occasional bouts of confusion, which may be part of why he was drawn to the temple; the order helped him know what to do, even when his own memory failed him), Morgan (you know why), Gwylan (being reincarnated/immortal certainly must come with some sort of identity disorder, not to mention having parts of your self overlap with an ancient, tortured witch. personally, i'd guess at separation anxiety, and she also probably has moments of confusion away from our view, where she forgets who exactly she is.), Whitney (trauma from shitty parents, ofc, but also probably got injured when sent to the Underground Brothel. knowing him, he'd fight back, expecting it to at least be close, and then someone would use a metal or stone weapon against him and refuse to give medical care to help heal whatever bone was broken.), Avery (anger issues), Darryl (anxiety, we see him have some sort of mild mental break after the sexual harassment scene), Robin (also probably got injured in the underground brothel. also, probably considers themself an autogynephile without the terminology, because they've never heard of being trans outside of sex/kink).
