rivalen konstantin moore ,, I could hide inside your smile, fade. And curl up around the fang. Drained, wasted away. And when you fall asleep, and when you drop the key- I'll slide it inside your mouth and say, "Do you wanna play?" Bang! Blow you away. [App] Rivalen has only ever lived in St. Louis, and has never traveled far outside of the area. He has no internet presence, outside of the social media profiles that his team manages. Where to find him: Rivalen tends to hang out in common areas outside of classes. (Courtyard, rec center, and the free area.) There will probably be people that he finds himself hanging around often to sap negative feelings from. Affiliations: None Rivalen is one of the few students who gleefully signed up to come here. He has money, and now he wants power. Rivalen is starving, he craves negativity. His power is very obvious- and the more he absorbs the stronger he becomes- yet his hunger grows just as much. Rivalen wonders if he'll ever be truly satiated. In many cases, it's actually his hunger that is controlling him, and not the other way around. Rivalen is actually a very rational person- although he is impulsive. He knows he is being watched, knows that he cannot actively harm the people around him. But god, this place is just like high school. Right now there's so much negativity in the air he doesn't even have to try. No one is clean- chemical bondage, pale as parchment- I'll kill what's killing me! Rivalen has only ever had one friend in his entire life. And she's probably just "friends" with him to make sure he hasn't killed anyone. There could be someone similarly altruistically minded at Infinity. I'm not counting on it though. Rather, Rivalen is a very skilled individual. He's also very powerful- even if most people don't like him, there are bound to be people that want to use him. He has the ability to make others very strong, if he doesn't drive them to madness first. The only real scenario I can see existing is a symbiotic one, mutually beneficial. Rivalen absorbs all of the negative and "bad" emotions from the other person, and in exchange he's actually very decent to, and protective of, them. No need to mess up a good thing. And with all of that weight off their shoulders, the other person finds themselves coming back around often. They might even feel really good about hanging out with/around him. Shit, they might even be able to convince him to do some normal people things like play a game, or throw a ball, *stage gasp*. I'm open to any unlikely friendship scenarios you might want to pitch. Riv is actually an incredibly loyal animal. I think that over time he could grow familiar with them, even if he doesn't necessarily "get" how normal friendship works. » Like Family » Almost Like Family » Attached at the Hip » Partners in Crime » Best Friends » Really Close Friends » Somewhat Close Friends » Pretty Good Friends » Growing Friendship » Friendship Crush » Party Friends » Online Friends » Childhood Friends » Enemies Turned Friends » First Name Basis » Acquaintances On your knees, coughing up prayers made of money and dust. Serrated blades of your bated breath have made a monster in the house of death. Oh my god is this dude going to have enemies. And if you *act* on your negative feelings towards him? Ohhh my god. Do not do that. Rivalen has no fucking morals. If he feels personally injured, he will do some absolutely wild shit to retaliate. When he wants something, Rivalen makes horrific threats that he will act on. He really and truly only does care about himself (and maybe just a littttle bit about anyone he might have a symbiotic relationship with.) He enjoys enacting terror on others. That little jolt of fear that sparks in someone's heart when they see him? Better than Christmas morning. He leads by fear. He doesn't care why someone is doing what they're doing- just that they're doing it the way he wants them to. There are probably going to be a lot of people that are afraid of him, for myriad reasons. Perhaps they're afraid of losing control, as Rivalen's mere presence is corrupting. He taints the area around him- more the longer he stays there. Maybe they're scared of the environment he creates, or perhaps they've seen him completely rot and dry something out in the classroom, and keep a six feet distance from him at all times. But mostly, I think there are just going to be a lot of people that go out of their way to ignore, or avoid him. As for Rivalen, he hates people that don't give him what he wants. Rivalen actually doesn't have a problem with peppy types. When they feel down they tend to go all the way down. He would definitely be the type of person where if you slighted him once, he'd probably hold a grudge about it for the rest of his life. Ultimately Rivalen prefers to use fear and intimidation. He wants to save all of that negativity he's stored up, not use it. » Choke and Die » Hardcore Hatred » Mutual Hatred » Rivalen Hates You » You Hate Rivalen » Mutual Dislike » Rivalen Dislikes You » You Dislike Rivalen » Annoyance » One Sided Annoyance » Rivalen Backstabbed You » You Backstabbed Rivalen » Non-Friendly Rivals » Friendly Rivals » Friends Turned Enemies » Love-Hate » By Association A devil made of crystal, glistens like the sun. Fingers to the head, pointed like a gun. Rivalen is usually unaware of his emotions, even if they're nakedly obvious to everyone else. I could see him being in love with someone and not even realizing it. Rivalen in general is a proud, emotionally constipated person. The words "I love you," are unlikely to ever leave his mouth. Instead he shows his feelings through action. He is selfish, and would regard a slight against someone he cared for as equivalent to a slight against himself. So, let's talk about Rivalen's particular flavor of asexuality. Let's talk about snow cones. To Rivalen, sex is like snow cones. Have you ever been chilling with someone and they just say: "Man, I could really go for a snow cone right now!" Nah. You probably don't even think about snow cones unless they're in front of you. Like snow cones, Riv doesn't really think about sex ever, at all, unless it's right in front of him. He might even really enjoy it! And then, he'd never think about or crave it again, unless it was right in front of his face. Like in the friendship section, I feel he's the most likely to develop feelings for someone that he has a mutually beneficial relationship with. Either because he is feeding off of them - or the way they make other people feel. Riv has never been in love. And for him, gender is a non-factor. » In Love » Rivalen Is In Love With You » You're In Love With Rivalen » Current Relationship » Past Relationship - Good Terms » Past Relationship - Bad Terms » Past Relationship - Still Chemistry » Past Relationship - Want it Back » Mutual Crush » Rivalen Has a Crush on You » You Have a Crush on Rivalen » Friends With Benefits » Fuck Buddies » Fling » One Night Stand » Make-Out Buddies » Sexual Tension » Physical Attraction » Innocent Flirting » Shameless Flirting » On and Off Are you sure you still want to play this evil little game? Rivalen believes that the ultimate purpose of life is death, and he has it in his hands. Rivalen is most likely to hang around people with strong (or that cause strong) negative emotions. But he will soon come to find that without the constant supply his job was offering, the cravings will get overwhelming. He wants to stop them, although not for altruistic reasons. Rivalen is amoral. He does not see himself as evil, but anyone that gets along with him probably is. His own lack of morals tends to bend the moral arc of those around him, even without the influence of his power. Riv is very powerful, and he can empower others. Even though I feel most people won't like him, he is probably a little too useful to let go of. Likewise, his influence and area of effect by itself is corrupting. He cannot give someone something that isn't already there, but if they're on the edge they might not even need a nudge from him. With someone who has a power that deals with control- Rivalen might make that harder- or cause them to let loose. Overall he's open for anything. All Rivalen wants is power, and he's willing to bargain for it. » Bad Influence » Good Influence » Mixed Feelings » Mutual Respect » Rivalen Respects You » You Respect Rivalen » Mutual Admiration » Rivalen Admires You » You Admire Rivalen » Rivalen Is Protective of You » You're Protective of Rivalen » Emotional Support » Stalker » Obsession » Fake Friend » Knew Each Other Outside » Anything Else/Other Anything striked out is unavailable for one reason or another.

name; Rudolph Smith gender; Agender age; 28 orientation; Unsure relationship(s); Rivalen is unable to leech from Rudolph, but he detests him all the same. He's a bully who, in Rudolph's eyes, refuses to pick on someone his own size. Fortunately, Riv likes to hang out around him. Rudolph doesn't hate this arrangement, since he can keep an eye on him. you say; "I'll hurt him if I have to." name; Samira Seo gender; Female age; 30 orientation; Homosexual relationship(s); Samira hates Rivalen's guts. She did ever since she first saw him, and the more she sees him the more she'll hate him. He reminds her of her father- and she'll be hunting for any excuse to snuff him out, too. you say; "*deep breath* He's going to cross a line eventually, I know it." name; Stephen Choi gender; Male age; 35 orientation; Heterosexual relationship(s); Rivalen unsettles Stephen deeply, and unlike Rudolph, he doesn't get a break from him. you say; "That boy ain't right." name; Haneul Cho gender; Male age; 23 orientation; Pansexual relationship(s); Haneul hates Rivalen. Fuck! He hates him so much he might even change his mind about lightning. you say; "I went to Catholic school- so trust me when I say this- I say we should start casting the demons out of this guy the old fashioned way." name; Jude Lee gender; Male age; 25 orientation; Pansexual relationship(s); Jude has noticed Rivalen hanging around him- it's bringing back all those old feelings from grade school. If he tries to start anything, he'll switch. you say; "What he ^ said." name; Casey Jung gender; Nonbinary age; 26 orientation; Queer relationship(s); Casey tries xer best to avoid Rivalen. Anytime xie's anywhere close to that guy, xie can feel xerself losing xer grip. His scalp in xer hands- blood all over the floor- screaming, screaming, the bat, the bat- the- Like there's a monster bubbling up inside of xer, like xie's a speeding train that wants nothing more than to smear him all over the tracks. you say; "...I can learn to control it, I can learn to control it, I can learn to control it..." name; Alister Moon gender; Male age; 31 orientation; Bisexual relationship(s); Rivalen's physiology is completely foreign to Alister. He'll hear the rumors of course, but to him he looks as he should. There's something very unsettling about him, but physically- he checks out. Alister tries to stay away from him. you say; "Rivalen is... very healthy." name; Vincent Shin gender; Male age; 25 orientation; Heterosexual relationship(s); As a high school weeb, Vincent consumed lots of media. Like many high school weebs, he was told to read Saya No Uta as a joke... It was really really fucked up. What's more fucked up? Rivalen reminds him of Saya. What the fuck he had memory-holed that shit entirely until just now. you say; "I'm good. That situation did not end well for anyone involved." name; Griffith Shin gender; Male (Questioning) age; 25 orientation; Queer relationship(s); Griffith was not a high school weeb, so he has absolutely no excuse for knowing what Saya No Uta is. Instead he comes up with more acceptable excuses for why he dislikes and avoids the guy- thankfully, there are several. you say; "Thanks, Vince." name; Valentyn Kim gender; Male age; 31 orientation; Heterosexual relationship(s); Valentyn does not like being anywhere near Rivalen. He frightens and unnerves him unlike anyone else. He can see the best and worst of everyone- except him. Rivalen does not exist anywhere else. Only here. He is an anomaly- an aberration- a wound. you say; "I don't like him." name; Zachariah Kwon gender; Male age; 30 orientation; Pansexual relationship(s); Zack is willing to work with anyone to achieve his goal. While he does not trust or even necessarily like Rivalen, he is incredibly powerful. But Rivalen does not work for free. And he does have something he wants. you say; "We all need to work together to get out of this. Even if I don't like him... he can help us." name; Noel Yang gender; Male age; 44 orientation; Asexual relationship(s); Noel's goal as administrator is to make the subjects strong. But he also has to ensure their safety, up until they leave the island. He has already identified and briefed the staff on the potential problems that someone like Rivalen could cause. you say; "I'd really hate to have to "fix" him. Let's hope he's on his best behavior." name; Hana Yang gender; Female (Questioning) age; 28 orientation; Unsure relationship(s); Hana has taken up her uncle's goal as her own. Fortunately Rivalen wants to be strong. But his training is going to be difficult for her, because she also cares about the student's well-being. And the stronger Rivalen becomes, the more he threatens that. you say; "... I'll have to think carefully about his lesson plan." name; Rayner June gender; Male age; 36 orientation; Bisexual relationship(s); Rayner always knows it's going to be a helluva year when he's briefed directly on a subject before they even arrive. He knows it's going to be even worse when even looking said subject in the eye makes him feel antsy. you say; "If he causes any trouble, I'll be there in six seconds or less." name; Florin Lee gender; Male age; 27 orientation; Pansexual relationship(s); In Florin's opinion, Rivalen is perfect. No- really- he's perfect. A monster, not yet fully formed. He is perfectly aware that he's playing with fire- but this might be the perfect opportunity to answer his question, once and for all. The fact that he's curious about his own nature is either incredibly promising, or a warning shot. you say; "Twenty minutes..." name; Jason Jae gender; Nonbinary age; 26 orientation; Pansexual relationship(s); Jason has no fear or limits when it comes to getting the shot. He's noticed in class how Rivalen's eyes get this... strong amber hue to them when he uses his power. Jason is also very aware that Rivalen might be the most dangerous subject he's ever tried to capture. He'd have to get in the line of fire to get the shot he wants, and he has a strong feeling that Rivalen wouldn't slow down or stop if he did. And unlike his usual subjects, pinning him down would probably do anything but calm him. you say; "When I get the chance, I'm just gonna go for it."
