Characters

Does every bishounen look exactly the same to you? Tired of trying to figure out which pretty guy from HoneySyn you're looking at? Here's a guide to de-sparkle and de-bubble the pretties for you.

Distinguishing trait: The fact that he's the first one to have internal dialogue, therefore, the main character. Seriously.

Info:Metis would be much better at being emo if he wasn't so spastic. Rougly 1 part smartass mixed with 3 parts dumbass and shaken, not stirred, his big mouth gets him into tons of trouble. His idea of a good time is mocking the resident jock for getting dumped. His idea of a not-so-good time is said resident jock introducing his fist to Metis' face.

Distinguishing trait: The first person May talks to who doesn't punch him in the face.

Info: Charles loudly protests allegations by his friends that he is "evil"; rather, he's just "pragmatic". Calm, collected, and prone to making Metis feel like an insignificant speck with his piercing wit, he's nonetheless protective of his best friend. He's secretly a fan of Nietzsche's writing but avoids letting people know lest he gains a reputation for being a nihilist (or, well, "emo").

Dirty Little Secret: He is actually a fan of Nietzsche.

Distinguishing trait: The fact that he's probably the only character to have had his hair cut in the last year.

Info: Josh is what most people would call a jock, despite an un-jocklike affinity for math. He consequently abuses this talent by formulating intricate football strategies and calculating optimum kickoff angles. Far too complicated to actually work, his team members secretly scrap them and hurriedly change topics when it comes up. He's a good quarterback, though.

Dirty Little Secret: Listens to Avril Lavigne sometimes. He has the lyrics to "My Happy Ending" memorized.

Distinguishing trait: the dude with the really bishounen hair. He dyes the front by the second time he makes an appearance.

Info:Cheerful and easygoing, Jay has his own close circle of friends, most of whom are as quirky as he is and also enjoy dyeing their hair fantastic colours to stick it to, um, "the man". He and Metis have been good friends ever since Metis suggested to him that he play dumb when people touch on the fact that he looks like Avril Lavigne. Now he insists that he's never heard of any "April Ravine."

Distinguishing trait: The mole on her chin that makes her way sexier than Marilyn Monroe ever was.

Info:Odette wishes that she could live in the 50's. She dresses retro and uses gratuitous oldschool slang, although this just makes her near impossible to understand. Unfazed by something as trivial as an inability to communicate, she soldiers on in her efforts to convert her friends into retro junkies like herself. Her love of retro goes hand-in-hand with her love of art, and she's one of the art department's favorite students. When they can understand her, anyway.

Info:Samuel always looks like he could use a bit more sleep, and he'll be the first to admit he'd rather be sleeping than doing whatever he's doing. He has a tendency to zone out or even fall asleep in the middle of a conversation. His friends have grown accustomed to it, but still don't know whether to take offense or not.
