Aydin Wrong (idk man we'll call it freakverse)--
44 y/o ☆ he/him ☆ gay
Aydin grew up well taken care of and loved so he had very little trouble coming to terms with the fact that he was gay, though it still took him until high school to officially come to a conclusion regarding his sexuality. He likely felt more pressure and shame around his sexual play preferences. He's very comfortable in his homosexuality, but doesn't go out of his way to bring it up in unrelated conversations. Part of this is probably because he thinks it's funny when people thinks he's straight.
Baldur Solar (Kingdom of Masks) --
18 y/o ☆ he/they ☆ queer, genderqueer
Baldur's family is strict and doesn't offer a lot of freedom. Because of this, he isn't really "out" I would imagine. He definitely pokes fun at the idea of it and it's CLEAR that there's something queer about them but, especially when it comes to his sexuality, there is absolutely no room to explore it (lore reasons, he's studying to become a doctor and doctors can't have romantic relationships womp womp). Despite this, they don't agonise over it too much and would rather serve underhanded compliments towards the people around them, including their older "brother" (he can sniff them out a mile away).
Ben Juarez (Freakverse)--
29 y/o ☆ he/him ☆ gay
Ben realised his was gay pretty soon after hitting puberty, definitely sometime in middle school. His peers for sure picked up on some gay ass vibes from him and it definitely contributed to the bullying he suffered, but his antisocial, possibly autistic behaviour took precedent, especially since he didn't start messing around with guys until after high school. He definitely attributes all of his bullying to his weird behaviour though, leaving him without a complex around being gay which like... GOOD. idk what he would be like if he had to deal with that too. He's pretty low-key about being queer, though he probably has his pronouns and a rainbow flag in his bio (he likes the aesthetic of the blue gay man flag but associates it too much with teenagers).
David Langston (i'm so sorry babe i cannot remember the name)--
24 y/o ☆ he/him ☆ bisexual, genderqueer
When he first came out, David's family was less receptive than they are now and he only ever came out as being bi-- discovering he was genderqueer definitely came sometime during college. He definitely struggled with his familys uneasy acceptance, but it was better than the bullying he suffered at school. He only felt truly comfortable once he got into college and people cared less about all of that. He's very open about it now and definitely has pronoun and flag pride pins on his bag. He also 100% would write opinion pieces and reports on the local queer scene.
Ezekiel (Limbo?)--
adult ☆ he/him ☆ ???, trans man
Man i don't even know. He probably got the shit beaten out of him for his weird little ways regardless of if he was gay or not. He definitely doesn't feel bad about ANYTHING. he for sure thinks he was called to manhood by God and he definitely doesn't question his attraction to anyone, regardless of gender, because to him it's like. gods will or something. it's a good thing this freak was taken out of the dating pool -_-
John Doe (Playing Doctor)--
28 y/o ☆ he/they ☆ bisexual/queer, trans man
He don't remember what coming out was like. He just knows that he for sure did it, but canNOT for the life of him pull those memories to the forefront. He feels mostly neutral about being bisexual/queer, but he would be lying if he didn't feel a bit more guilty about being attracted to women specifically. He gets over it quickly and thinks about it only late at night. As for being trans.... isn't everyone? lol? In all seriousness, he cannot remember a time when he wasn't the man that he is now so it's not something he concerns himself with. He has bigger fish to fry and sicker women to annoy (who said that). He'd go to pride but only for the food (he is eating the floats).
Juno's first crush was 100% Juni which has irreparably altered how she interacts with those feelings of love and attraction and it does NOT get better. so unfortunately it's complicated <//3 bc like <//33 what <///3 this only grows when she meets Vee and experiences the horror that is the story of Juni and Me. Anyway that's the thing she agonises over most, she just accepts the fact that she likes more than one gender <//3 and the gender thing <//3 idk man is she even the person she thinks she is? she's so many people at once it just makes sense (she does not clue into this, she is blissfully unaware and just attributes it to a want to be free of common gender roles and expectations)
Odin Amarillo (Kingdom of Masks)--
adult ☆ they/he☆ queer, some sort of gender fuckery idk
Gonna be real I have a pittance of information for this guy I just didn't want them to feel left out womp womp. similar to Baldur, they don't rlly get to explore their sexuality or gender in any way that matters. they want to express themself more thru makeup but they have to wear a fuckass mask so they don't get mega-cursed (real and true threat for sure).
Seraphiel Killingsworth (Smiles dating simulator who said that)--
24 y/o ☆ he/him ☆ gay
If internalised homophobia was a person. He willingly went to a pray the gay away camp and broke down when he realised he couldn't stop liking men and now he goes to church everyday to confess for the sin of liking men and now it's even worse bc he likes a demon and he has some fuck ass bitch pretending to be an angel calling him on random telephones talking about some random ass shit bro go away. He want to heal from all this hurt his upbringing and himself have brought upon him, but it's difficult to move past all these things which have cemented themself into his mind and who eh is as a person. He's certain he can if he just tries a little harder, but any reading of the Bible that doesn't end with him burning in Hell feels like a betrayal.
Wren Hawkins (Freakverse)--
32 y/o ☆ she/her ☆ bi
She was 100% the weird girl that had other girls talking like "no she's like OBSESSED with me it's weird" and she definitely kept her eyes GLUED to the floor in the locker room because she was scared she was being predatory. She never officially came out to her family and probably never will, especially given the nature of her current relationship. She's least comfortable dating other women because she can't shake the fears of her past, which is unfortunate because she has a heavy preference for women. She will deny being queer, but she won't engage in homophobia unless it's against herself (womp womp)
