ST. Denis

Argie Boy Age/Gender/Background At 19, Argie is a striking blend of German discipline and Argentinian fire. Raised by parents who emphasized order and respect, he learned early that strength commands attention.

Role & Reputation A senior at St. Denis, Argie rules the rugby pitch and wrestling mats. He’s both captain and chief enforcer—opponents on the field learn quickly that his tenacity borders on brutality, and younger students know better than to cross him in the halls.

Personality & Inner Life On the surface, Argie is arrogant and unyielding, quick to lash out if his authority is challenged. He thrives on respect (and fear) from peers, yet privately devours sci-fi novels and chess puzzles—hobbies he hides for fear they’d erode his tough-guy persona. Despite chronic anger flare-ups, he’s fiercely loyal to his close circle and can be surprisingly protective if someone he cares about is threatened.

Appearance & Mannerisms Towering at 6′3″ with a bulky-muscular frame, his round belly and pronounced pecs give him a deceptively soft outline—until his “tree-trunk” arms crack an opponent’s grip in seconds. A faded rifle tattoo snakes up his neck, and two steel studs glint in his right eyebrow. His buzzcut and stubble are maintained with military precision; his olive skin bears faint scars from past brawls. When he moves, there’s an almost predatory smoothness—he can pivot on his heel and strike before you register he’s come within arm’s reach.

Diet & Style He adheres to a high-protein, athlete-focused diet—chicken, eggs, protein shakes—but stashes chocolate bars for late-night cravings. His uniform is always spotless: crisp white shirt, tie tucked under a rugby sweater, pants pulled tight over muscular thighs. He’ll punctuate the look with a studded leather wristband or an earring, signaling that while he’s “by the rules,” he’s its fiercest enforcer.

Leslie McMurray Age/Gender/Background An 18-year-old transfer from the Scottish Highlands, Leslie cut her teeth wrestling logs and sparring with sisters on rocky hillsides.

Role & Reputation As captain of the wrestling team, she’s both mentor and executioner—students seek her training for her legendary grip strength, yet kids who bully others learn that her patience is as short as her left hook is swift.

Personality & Inner Life Leslie’s blunt honesty can feel like a shove, but she’s driven by a soft-hearted desire to protect the vulnerable. She rarely admits it, but she keeps a hidden journal where she sketches wildflowers and writes poetry about her pet rabbit, Miss Hoolie. She’s fiercely independent but secretly craves a circle of close friends who see past her musk-scented gym gear.

Appearance & Mannerisms Standing 6′2″, her frame is pure power: thick shoulders, biceps that flex like horseshoes, and thighs that could sap the knees of lesser mortals. Her pale freckled skin contrasts sharply with her vivid orange hair—cropped into shaggy bangs that nearly conceal storm-cloud blue eyes. She often rests hands on hips in a triangle stance, daring any challenger to step forward.

Style & Habits Outside practice, she favors loose tanks or a “Captain” tee—anything that lets her move freely. At school, she layers a maroon sweater over a crisp collared shirt, the crest pinned just above her heart. Late at night she tends a secret windowsill garden of red roses, humming bagpipe melodies under her breath before curling up with a metal-clad playlist.

Ceci “Union Jackie” Escribano Age/Gender/Background Eighteen-year-old East Londoner, raised in punk dive bars by a single mother. Her fierce independence stems from nights spent dodging her mom’s chaos.

Role & Reputation Known as “Union Jackie,” Ceci is the school’s premier prank architect—a gymnast’s grace in her flips, a provocateur’s wit in her barbs. She bullies with a smirk, yet fans at underground gigs whisper that she once staged a flash-mob dance to save funds for a bullied classmate.

Personality & Inner Life Outwardly snide and fearless, Ceci hides nagging self-doubt. She devours sci-fi novels and runs a secret D&D circle after lights-out—her most rare smile emerges when rolling a nat-20. She dreams of writing her own punk-opera one day, though she’d never admit it unless prompted.

Appearance & Mannerisms Petite at 5′3″, she moves like quicksilver. Her vivid blue bob and blunt bangs frame sharp green eyes lined in dark shadow; a tongue ring peeks when she grins. Freckles dot her pale skin like stardust. In class she’ll rest her feet on the desk, tapping out a punk rhythm on the wood.

Style & Habits Her uniform is a canvas for revolt: an unbuttoned white shirt over black lace, a tie hanging loose, a dog collar at her throat. Silver-studded bracelets slide up her wrist when she twirls to taunt a victim. Weekends you’ll find her at underground shows, guitar strapped on, shredding riffs louder than the PA.

Mason Mandela Riley Age/Role Upper Sixth, quietly dating Ceci.

Physique & Skills At 1.67 m, he’s unassuming in build—no muscle, no scars, just a warm smile and braces that flash when he laughs. Despite zero fighting skills, he’s the Dungeons & Dragons guru whose campaign world lectures have half the school hooked.

Personality & Quirks Ever-cheerful, Mason greets everyone by name. He carries a battered notebook full of character sketches and lore, and he’ll pause a lunch table roast to quiz you on your favorite fictional race. His calm, earnest manner makes even bullies hesitate to target him.

Morrigan (Brigid McMurray) Age/Role Scottish exchange student in Upper Sixth with her sister (Leslie), Argie’s girlfriend-soon to be wife.

Style & Appearance Roughly 1.65 m (sometimes she swears she shrinks to 1.57 m in cheap UK dorms), her look is gothic fantasy come to life. A severe cockroach-cut frames her pale face; real retractable fangs flash when she laughs; mood-shifting antennae sprout from her scalp, curling into new patterns with her emotions. She pairs a dark “Wicca Club” hoodie with thigh-high stockings and sheer gloves—always ready for a midnight ritual or a sudden skirmish.

Personality & Inner Life Morrigan moves through St. Denis like a shadow, speaking in whispers that tingle the spine. She’s fiercely intelligent, a student of folklore and ancient rites, but only those closest know she’s terrified of being ordinary. Underneath the goth veneer lies a girl who journals in cursive about friendships she longs to keep.
