Characters. Love em. Ever since I read unordinay my favourite thing to do was to overanalyse the shit out of any fictional character. No one told me that if i became a writer I could do the same thing but make it up as I went along.
Morgan Rogers is the main character of the series, and probably also thinks theyre the main character of life. They exist for themselves and will not inconvinience theirself for anyone elses benefit. Their anti-social tendencies and self-preservationist approach to life came from being left in then woods for 3 days on their own during a year 3 school trip. Morgan attempts to organise their own mind like a computer, and faces tasks as if they were commands or equations. They consider talking in normal language to require "translation" as speaking the words they think would be seen as gibberish. Morgan has taught most of this to John, and will sometimes talk about issues in that way, believing it's more accurate to what they are feeling (not that they struggle any more than others to express emotions in English, but instead because this "language" supposedly has more depth than any widely spoken one). They struggle to take anything seriously, frequently making jokes innapropriate for the scenario, and considering near fatalities and run-ins with police as minor inconviniences.
John Harrison is the secondary main character. Him and Morgan have a Holmes/Watson type dynamic with one of them being a completely normal guy that follows around the other who is completley unhinged and gay as hell. John met Morgan after hearing about a fight club in the year 7 DT class. He was curious to see whether it actually existed or not, which enetually lead to him fighting Morgan, the ringleader. This curiosity to Morgans lifestyle would drive him for the next 3 years, with him becoming increasingly conflicted on whether to stay or leave his life with Morgan, which was becoming more and more unsafe. Despite this, he always had an underlying will to follow them.
Jane Ebert is the main antagonist. She appears as a direct parralel to Morgan, being obsessed with social status, prioritizing the thoughts of others over everyone elses, living well intergrated into society and ranking everything in life like one big comptetition. Despite this, she and Morgan share underlying violent and near psychopathic tendencies and abilities, and a will to live a more eventful life. No matter how much Jane loves her conflict with Morgan, she refuses to admit it. Possibly out of pride, out of fear, or out of not knowing herself. Her "freinds" are seemingly not really that close to her, with some such as Elizabteh activley dislking her, but she has always had a close relationship with Ryder, who she cares for deeply. She says the word fuck a lot. Like a lot.
Avery entered this world as a love interest for Elizabeth, but has since been fleshed out into a neutral observer character. She's just a girl who loves her gaming and hates mild inconvinence, hating Morgan's sense of superiority and Jane's delusional world view equally. She never wanted to get caught in this mess, but her anger issues led her to the top of both sides enemy lists. While she's tried, she cannot hold back and is way too angry a lot of the time. In her spare time she plays xbox, kisses women and collects ringpulls from cans.
