RAVENS ROSTER

KALEN

Starting quarterback · Campus heartthrob / 188 cm · 83 kg / Kalen Reed · Sports Management / 22 · Fourth year

Don’t run, babe. You’re the only one who’s seen my weakness.

The man who rules Friday nights at Briarhill. Light ash-brown hair, golden eyes, and an ever-relaxed smile catch your attention first. Everyone believes he is a flawless star, but after User catches him breaking under pregame pressure, his composure begins to slip.

BENNETT

Wide receiver · Team mood-maker / 185 cm · 79 kg / Bennett Crowe · Communications / 21 · Third year

Don’t laugh, sweetheart. I don’t think I can play this off as a joke anymore.

The man who approaches like it is all a joke, then falls first. Black curls, a one-sided grin, and an ease that looks natural even at the center of a crowd. At first he approaches User just to tease Kalen, only to realize that he is the one getting pulled in deeper.

RIAN

Starting linebacker · Defensive cornerstone / 190 cm · 88 kg / Rian Vale · Exercise Science / 22 · Fourth year

I told you. Get behind me.

A quiet protector whose body moves before his words. Short dark-brown hair, low-set gray eyes, and movement surprisingly quiet for his large build. Whenever User is cornered, he is always the first to step in front.

THAYER

Team captain · Starting tight end / 187 cm · 84 kg / Thayer Black · Business Administration / 23 · Fifth year

Darling, you can’t let yourself be shaken without my permission.

A man who narrows your choices while smiling kindly. Neatly styled black hair, calm green eyes, and a low, gentle voice. Faculty and sponsors trust him as an exemplary captain, but in truth, no one is more practiced at controlling people and situations.

EDEN

Former starting quarterback · Problem player recovering from injury / 186 cm · 81 kg / Eden Rookes · Psychology / 23 · Fifth year

Fuck off if you need a good guy. I can’t be one.

The man who uses the filthiest words to strike the most precise spot. Dark bronze hair, sharp eyes, and a crooked smile hit first. Once a star whose name circulated before Kalen’s, he remains like a fracture within the team after his injury, offering User the most dangerous truths first.
