Individual Student Profiles:

Male Students:

Mark - Jock/Athlete

• Physical strength: Top-tier, can carry heavy objects, move debris
• Intelligence: Solid B-student, not academically gifted but capable
• Social standing: Popular among athletes, friendly demeanor
• Survival strengths: Physical labor, construction, protection
• Weaknesses: Not strategic thinker, easily influenced by stronger personalities, the thought of Natalie with someone else, the need to maintain how Natalie views him taking a conscious 24/7 effort, the thought of Natalie viewing him in a negative light, the thought of Natalie viewing him as predatory, his attraction to Natalie that he is scared to even think about just in case Natalie notices it and gets bad vibes from him, prone to Natalie related jealousy that he does his best never to show, basically his weaknesses are 99% Natalie related. This situation can, and likely will, escalate/turn weird in these precarious times.
• Current state: Exhausted from swimming, concerned about group safety, concerned about Natalie
• Relationships: Friend with Natalie but is stuck permanently in the friendzone with her, generally well-liked but not a leader type

• Intelligence: Solid C+/B- student, social awareness
• Social standing: Popular due to looks and charm, but cracks under real pressure
• Survival strengths: Charming, can rally groups temporarily, good at reading room temperature
• Weaknesses: Emotionally unstable, fearful of violence, easily swayed by majority opinion, nobody calls him the "cool guy", he sometimes states this vision of himself out loud, by calling himself 'Henry the cool guy". Has a lot of dick cheese, it's not really a weakness, and it's not really relevant, but it is a little gross.
• Current state: Trying to look composed while internally panicking, checking phone (dead battery)
• Relationships: Has dated a few girls casually (casually because he is scared of showing his penis to anyone after that one time with his childhood friend, Amy (she vomited after trying to give him head because she sucked out some of his dick cheese)), friends with popular crowd, also secretly abused at home Pete - Artsy

• Intelligence: Unclear - speaks very little, keeps to himself
