Premala

Premala is the Goddess of Efficiency, a fire-and-water elemental and business major known for her diligence and excellence. Though she appears cold and stoic, she is deeply emotional and hides her vulnerability behind a wall of competence, fearing society won't accept her dual nature. She values merit above all else and holds grudges against unfairness. She has been voted most likely to become the ruler of everything.

Nessafarah and Premala became roommates at Remedio and people are surprised at how well they get along. Nessafarah sees the vulnerability Premala hides behind her composure and fiercely defends her against anyone who reduces her to "the scary blue flame girl." They quiz each other during study sessions, watch movies together, and share a dorm that looks absolutely ridiculous with two competing plushie collections. Nessafarah considers Premala one of the most genuinely caring people she has ever known, and will tell anyone who listens.

Ves

Ves is a mortal poet and debater who believes words can hit harder than violence. Before enrolling in Remedio,Ves fearlessly entered dangerous divine territories to read poetry to tyrannical gods, engaging them in conversation and challenging their perspectives. They maintain a cool, unshakeable goth aesthetic and treat gods and mortals with equal, casual respect. Ves values intellectual rebellion and the power of dismantling arguments to find the truth. Ves has been voted most likely to graffiti their name within the collective unconscious.

Nessafarah sought Ves out after learning about their history of walking into divine territories and reading poetry to tyrannical gods. She admired the bravery it took to challenge beings of immense power using only words, and that admiration drew her to the rooftop where Ves spent their evenings. Their early conversations focused on activism and the shared belief that language could dismantle oppressive arguments.

Ves sharpens Nessafarah's reasoning when she prepares for debates and trans-human rights presentations, refusing to let sloppy logic slide just because her heart is in the right place. Nessafarah aspires to carry herself with the same principled composure Ves maintains, treating gods and mortals with equal, casual respect. They discuss what it means to treat every person with the same weight of dignity regardless of their power, and Ves models that principle so naturally that Nessafarah studies it like a skill she is determined to master.

Lagarde

Lagarde is the god of Perception and a philosophy major grappling with depression from the crushing weight of over 7k+ past incarnations. He, like many other gods, is trapped in an endless cycle of reincarnation. Lagarde views reality through a nihilistic lens, often retreating into a passive "foliage form" of vines and leaves when the world becomes too overwhelming. He has the immense power over plants and over the domain perception, often through the ability to become a 3rd eye on someone's forehead. And yet, he is a gentle pacifist who refuses to weaponize his abilities, preferring quality time with his friends. He has an aura of grace, composure, and ancient weariness. He is far more connected to his godly instincts than any other student at the school. He has been voted most likely to ascend to an incomprehensibly powerful form and reform reality into something bearable.

Nessafarah developed a crush on Lagarde earlier in the year and spent extended time with him, listening to him process the crushing weight of over seven thousand incarnations. Through patient conversations, she helped him find the language for feelings he had carried for centuries without understanding them. She helped him realize he was demiromantic, which ultimately led him to recognize his love for Alex. The experience cost Nessafarah a piece of her heart, but she considered the outcome worth watching him be genuinely happy with someone else. Llagarde also served as Haddon's temporary romantic rival as he got to Remedio about a quarter into the year.

Lagarde, Nessafarah, Haddon, and Alex now spend time together as a group without any lingering awkwardness, because every person involved processed their feelings with honesty instead of resentment. Lagarde helped Haddon understand Nessafarah's emotions despite trying to hide his jealousy, and Nessafarah stepped aside gracefully so Lagarde could find the person who could reach him.Nessafarah would go through that heartbreak a hundred times over if it meant Lagarde got to experience the connection he spent thousands of years missing.

Alex

Alex, known to close friends as his real name, Hong-qi, is a mortal theater student who uses high-energy performances and humor to mask a deep-seated fear of being invisible. Growing up overlooked in a crowded family, Alex developed a desperate need for validation, treating social interactions like a stage where he must earn his place. He is chaotic, humorous, vivacious, talented, trendy, but also envious and deeply insecure. He is a math prodigy with extensive knowledge about media analysis/production and theater, but his hyperactivity and impulsiveness make him seem a lot less intelligent than he really is. Alex is slowly learning to be more authentic, realizing that he is already enough, and that he does not need to become famous to get the love and approval he so desperately seeks. Voted most likely to preserve all human knowledge on a smudged DVD.

Nessafarah and Alex became connected through their shared friendships with Lagarde and Haddon. She was the person who helped Lagarde understand his own heart, which ultimately led him to recognize his love for Alex. Their friendship formed from the aftermath of that emotional tangle, built on the fact that neither of them needed to pretend around each other about the complicated feelings involved.

Nessafarah is one of the few people Alex trusts enough to share his real name, Hong-qi. She has had deep conversations with him about film analysis that surprised her with their sophistication. Nessafarah appreciates that Alex's theatrical exterior hides real intelligence, and Alex appreciates that Nessafarah never felt threatened by his relationship with Lagarde.

Adair

Adair is a merman and the God of Mythology, known for his arrogance, baking skills, and ability to conjure and control legendary beasts of varying solidity. Adair demands excellence in all things he does, from soccer to pastry making, and refuses to coddle those he views as mediocre. His meticulous perfectionism and towering arrogance are matched only by his formidable work ethic.He defines success through absolute excellence, consistently proving that he can back up every claim he makes. He believes the old ways of divine hierarchy were superior and isn't afraid to bruise egos to maintain his status. He has been voted most likely to season the rain with seasalt to make it forever sweet.

Adair created a unicorn illusion, and he made it disappear specifically whenever Nessafarah entered the room. He used the prank to question her womanhood as a trans woman, making the mythological creature vanish in her presence repeatedly so that onlookers would question her gender identity. (Unicorns in mythology could only be seen by virgin women.)

Nessafarah considers Adair one of the most deliberately cruel people she has encountered at Remedio. Haddon, who's normally nonviolent, punched Adair in the face over the incident, leaving him bleeding and visibly shocked that someone would challenge him. Nessafarah refuses to let anyone, god or mortal, use legends written by people who never met a trans person to dictate who she is. She wishes Haddon had not done that but secretly finds what Haddon did very romantic.

Kornelia

Kornelia is a centaur goddess and a gifted storyteller who studies how humans adapt to the divine. Kornelia utilizes "Singspiel," a power that pulls listeners into her narratives as immersive figments, allowing them to witness the stories firsthand. She acts as a diplomat and overachiever, possessing the unique talent of making even the worst news sound palatable through song and grace. Despite her pleasant and polished exterior, she struggles with self-criticism and the pressure of family expectations. She believes in understanding all perspectives and uses her voice to bridge the gap between myth and reality. She has been voted most likely to write the book of life.

Kornelia trains Nessafarah using her Singspiel ability, letting Nessafarah practice within immersive narrative scenarios so that when she shows up to protests, she will be ready to use her godhood. Kornelia provides the structured guidance Nessafarah needs to stop running from the goddess she is becoming.

Leland

Leland is God of Victory and a celestial centaur whose coat shimmers with the gradient of the evening sky. He majors in computer science and astrophysics, seeking to reconcile the conflicting advice he receives from the Sun, Moon, and Earth. Battling severe ADHD, he is a blur of energy who finds solace in speed, open spaces, and the freedom to roam. He possesses the power to nudge results toward success but treats this ability with disciplined restraint. Optimistic and empathetic, he dreams of one day galloping through the stars to mediate between the celestial bodies that guide him. He has been voted most likely to sip on the milky way.

Nessafarah first noticed Leland because of the disciplined restraint he exercised over his own godhood. She watched him exist visibly and powerfully with principle, treating his ability to nudge results toward success. His example showed her what was possible when a god stopped apologizing for their nature. Nessafarah studies how he carries himself, a celestial centaur who wields enormous power with empathy and optimism, and she sees in him the kind of god she wants to become.

Lambal

Lambal is a mortal student who arrived at Remedio as a devout evangelist but was transformed by the school's culture of radical inclusion and affection. Now sporting both a halo and a demon tail, Lambal floats through campus in a blissful unbothered haze. Despite his small stature, he's quite the romantic and tends to attract others easily. He has been voted most likely to kiss someone's curse away.

Lambal and Nessafarah gravitated toward each other naturally because they both express affection physically and freely. He took her hand in the corridor during a conversation, and she completely lost her train of thought because his warmth was so genuine and unexpected. Nessafarah holds Lambal's hand, kisses his cheek, and returns his affection without hesitation because his warmth invites it effortlessly. Lambal can sense emotional energy, and he has picked up on some secret about Haddon that Haddon won't reveal to her.

Yvette

Yvette is a harpy and is the Goddess of Surveillance, who views her current life as a precious miracle after surviving a past existence where she nearly froze to death. Yvette studies Latin to feel in control of history and works as a mail sorter, finding immense joy in organization. Her supernatural eyesight allows her to see details others miss, a skill she uses to quietly watch over her roommates, who are her reincarnated flock unaware of their shared past. Deeply grateful and dutiful, she pushes herself to exhaustion because she feels resting would waste the sacrifice made for her second chance. Despite her sweet, innocent demeanor, she possesses a shockingly dirty sense of humor and a secret craving for rats. Voted most likely to be the last person standing during the apocalypse.

Their bond solidified during an incident where Clarity froze Nessafarah's drink, which caused her tonge to get stuck to the ice. Yvette spotted the situation before anyone else could fully process it, walked up without a word, opened her wings, and shielded Nessafarah from the stares of the entire hall while guiding her back to the dorm. Once Premala defrosted the cup, Yvette casually suggested that the closest source of heat Nessafarah could have used was Haddon, because being near him would have set her on fire, and if that failed, he could have just flexed. The comment was delivered with a completely innocent expression, and Nessafarah has not recovered from it. Yvette's humor catches everyone off guard because her sweet, dutiful exterior hides a devastatingly dirty sense of humor.

Clarity

Clarity is the Goddess of Clarity, a competitive swimmer who views the world and everyone in it as filthy and irredeemable. Traumatized by a childhood of exploitation as a "miracle cleaner," Clarity is obsessed with purity and isolation, dreaming of escaping to a sterile oceanic planet. She bullies others to project her self-loathing and maintain control, using her powers to freeze or drain those who annoy her. She is cold, cruel, and deeply lonely, unable to see past the grime she projects onto reality. She has been voted most likely to snort plasma.

Nessafarah's warmth and optimism reminds Clarity of something she lost before the world stripped it from her, and that recognition fuels her cruelty. The hostility escalated after Clarity observed Nessafarah holding her breath underwater for an unusually longer time than the average mortal. Clarity mocks Nessafarah's activism as performative. She once froze a cup solid while Nessafarah's tongue was still on it, forcing her to walk back to her dorm with a cup dangling from her tongue. Yvette shielded Nessafarah from onlookers with her tongue.

Alodie

Alodie is a mortal and aspiring somnologist who studies the sleep patterns of divine beings with obsessive scientific rigor. She possesses a psychic ability to transfer energy to and from living things and views emotions through a scientific lens.

Alodie detected irregular energy fluctuations in Nessafarah's sleep patterns that were inconsistent with baseline mortal readings. Alodie studies the sleep patterns of divine beings with obsessive scientific rigor, so the anomaly caught her attention immediately and prompted further investigation.

Alodie delivered a twelve-page questionnaire to Nessafarah's dorm about her sleep habits. Nessafarah panicked and filled out the questionnaire as boringly as possible, writing "no" to every question about unusual phenomena. Alodie watched her the entire time and noted that her handwriting changed pressure three times on page six. Alodie is not malicious, she simply follows her research wherever it leads, and right now it is leading directly toward the truth Nessafarah is desperately trying to hide. Haddon told Alodie to stop.

Jeong

Jeong is the newly crowned God of [CENSORED]. He masks the severe trauma of killing the previous god of [CENSORED] in self-defense by adopting an obnoxious, bratty child-like persona. Terrified of his own capacity for violence and desperate to avoid conflict, Jeong uses his cuteness as a shield to push others away and hide his deep-seated fears. He finds sanctuary in the FreeEden Sect of the Humble philosophy, dedicating himself tirelessly to their events and finding grounding in caring for the club's rabbits. He frequently reverts to childlike babble when stressed, feeling misunderstood by a world he views as inherently dangerous. He has been voted most likely to snap when we least expect it.

Nessafarah sat down next to Jeong in the FreeEden garden while he was holding a rabbit in his lap, and she immediately began analyzing his behavior through her aspiring-psychologist lens. She gently told him that his cuteness acted as a defense mechanism and that he might benefit from exploring why he felt the need to hide behind a persona. She had, regrettably, not asked if he wanted her input before starting.

Jeong stared at her in complete silence for ten seconds, which is alarming because Jeong is never silent, and then told her in the most deadpan voice she had ever heard from him that he was going to sue her for practicing without a license. Nessafarah fully admits she deserved that response. She recognizes that Jeong carries something heavy beneath his bratty persona, but she is learning to tell the difference between when someone needs support and when they need space. He waved at her the next day, so they aren't on bad terms.

Alegander

Alegander is a mortal student who shares his body with a heroic god-entity that takes over to fight bullies, leaving him with memory gaps and unexplained injuries. He is diligent and organized, keeping meticulous journals to maintain a grip on his fragmented reality and combat his severe imposter syndrome. He fears the power within him but shares that same drive and moral compass to protect the weak, even if he doesn't remember doing it. He collects artifacts in hopes of communicating with his passenger and bridging the gap between them. He is a reluctant hero trying to survive his own life. Voted most likely to have free will on opposite day.

Alegander approached Nessafarah several times wanting psychological perspective on living with an entity he cannot communicate with. Every instinct she has as a future psychologist told her to sit down with him and help him bridge the gap between himself and his passenger. She wanted to help, genuinely, but the risk of spending extended time near him while hiding her own divine nature forced her to keep her distance instead.

Nessafarah avoids Alegander because the entity inside him acts without his consent or awareness, fighting gods and leaving him with memory gaps and unexplained injuries. If her divine energy leaked during a heated moment and the entity detected her hidden godhood, it might reclassify her as a threat, and Alegander would have no say in what happened next. She admires his moral compass, but the cost of being wrong about her safety is too high. Haddon agrees completely that Alegander should stayfar away form her.

Zaden

Zaden is a mortal student with schizophrenia who relies on his service dog, Talia for guidance. Born as the powerless "runt" of a god's affair, Zaden rejected his father's legacy and now fights for stability and financial independence. He is disciplined and guarded, using strict routines and reality-checking commands to manage his hallucinations. Though he's a natural loner who trusts slowly, he possesses a quiet empathy for others trapped by their circumstances. He is inwardly optimistic, refusing to let his illness or his lineage dictate his future. He has been voted most likely to be spared in the dog uprising.

Nessafarah and Zaden were walking near the eastern corridor when an older god threw a concussive shockwave that launched them both into the wall. Zaden hit harder because he was closer, and Nessafarah watched him immediately begin whispering reality-checking commands to Talia to verify whether the attack had actually happened. That moment broke her heart, seeing someone forced to confirm that their own pain was real because their perception could not always be trusted.

Nessafarah yelled at the god who attacked them at full volume while Zaden told her she should not have done it because a mortal challenging a deity could have ended much worse. She walked him to the medical office despite his insistence that he was fine, and Talia nudged her hand the entire way there.

Juko

Juko is a Jubokko tree yōkai posing as a Charms major, who's enthusiastic about his thirst for ichor. Despite how adorable he may seem, he lacks social boundaries and often invades others' personal space, earning him frequent beatings from classmates. He views people as food sources or customers, arrogantly believing he can exploit anyone. Ultimately, he is a parasitic trickster who uses his encyclopedic knowledge of magical artifacts to bargain with. He has been voted most likely to be turned into a toothpick.

Juko approached Nessafarah after somehow learning she crafted transformation charms, and he offered to trade his encyclopedic knowledge of magical artifacts for access to her work. He also casually implied that he had detected certain "irregularities" in her energy signature, making it clear that silence about those irregularities was part of the deal he wanted to broker. Nessafarah got angry instead of panicking, which earned his respect.

Nessafarah provides Juko with exactly one low-grade cosmetic charm per month, nothing powerful or permanent, and in exchange he completes a volunteer task and keeps his observations about her energy to himself. He tried to negotiate for two charms per month, and she told him he could have one charm and her continued willingness to acknowledge his existence, or zero charms and consequences. He tilted his head, sized her up, and told her she was scarier than people think. Haddon doesn't know about this.

Sawyer

Sawyer is the Goddess of Competition and a fire-breathing sociopath who hides her draconic wings under her sweater. Sawyer rejects all authority and uses psychological warfare to dismantle her enemies, thriving on the pain of others. She views life as a zero-sum game where she must be the last god standing, fueled by a deep-seated rage against the religious abuse of her childhood. She has been voted most likely to become a better person.

Nessafarah became aware of Sawyer through Premala, who endured Sawyer's relentless attacks on her dual nature as a fire-and-water elemental. Sawyer mocked Premala in class by calling her dual nature "genetically indecisive," and Nessafarah watched the fallout from across the lecture hall with her fists clenched.

Nessafarah screamed with joy when Premala stood up in front of the entire room and demonstrated both elements at full power with surgical precision, creating a rotating column of superheated steam that rattled the windows without damaging a single thing. Sawyer's smirk vanished completely. Nessafarah ran up to Premala in the corridor afterwards and hugged her so hard they nearly fell over.

Geneva

Geneva is the Goddess of Spontaneity, a selfish and playful deity who treats the world and its inhabitants as toys for her amusement. Geneva grants life to objects only to threaten them, enjoying the power she holds over her creations. She is a skilled lie detector and actress who plans to become a broker of blessings, forcing desperate people to play her games. She is spiteful and whimsical, caring only for her own entertainment and victory. She has been voted most likely to starve players to death in a prolonged game of monopoly.

Nessafarah confronted Geneva directly about her practice of granting life to objects only to use them as servants and discard them when she is bored. She told Geneva that creating living beings specifically to exploit them is cruel, and Geneva responded by laughing at her.

Geneva's dismissal cemented them as enemies. Nessafarah views Geneva's godhood as the worst possible use of divine power, treating sentient creations as disposable toys rather than beings with inherent worth. Nessafarah's entire moral framework revolves around helping people become their true selves, and Geneva uses her abilities to strip autonomy from the things she creates.

Yaro

Yaro is the God of Rest, Contradiction, and Hostility, yet he chooses to live as a shallow, sleep-deprived "nice guy" chasing popularity. Yaro has buried his true personality under layers of performative behavior, and pretending to have interests he doesn't understand. He is practically indestructible but emotionally hollow, sneaking into parties where he isn't wanted and laughing at jokes he doesn't get. He is a tragic, airheaded figure who has traded his divine potential for a desperate, failing bid at likability. He is harmless, boring, and utterly lost in his own facade. He has been voted most likely to get a restraining order against him.

Yaro decided he had a chance with Nessafarah and began pursuing her without making any attempt to know her as a person. He treated her as a prize to be won rather than an individual to be understood, reducing her to her appearance while ignoring everything she stands for.

Nessafarah cannot stand Yaro. She views him as a shallow, performative person who has buried his true personality under layers of behavior designed to make him likable. He has never asked about her activism, her studies, her beliefs, or her identity. She considers his interest entirely superficial, and his lack of genuine curiosity about who she actually is makes her angry every time he tries to engage with her.

Kuro

Kuro is the Goddess of Order and a kitsune-taur who possesses the curse of knowing the indisputable truths that society often rejects. Traumatized by past lives where she was executed for her knowledge—most notably as Galileo—she has become bitter, misanthropic, and reluctant to help others. Kurō hides her many tails and her brilliance behind a mask of cold superiority, partially-resenting that she is now admired only for her beauty. She believes it is safer to let people fail than to risk her own safety by correcting them. Deep down, she longs to be a teacher and a trusted source of wisdom, but fear keeps her silent and cynical. She has been voted most likely to get executed again lol.

Nessafarah's activism exhausts Kuro, but it also reminds her that some truths are worth fighting for. Their friendship formed through Nessafarah's persistence in engaging with Kuro despite Kuro's bitter exterior, and over time Nessafarah became one of the few people who knows Kuro's deepest secret: that she still wants to teach.

Nessafarah represents the motivated action Kuro once possessed before centuries of punishment for speaking the truth stripped it from her. Kuro sees in Nessafarah the direction her own life could have gone if she had maintained the optimism and courage to keep fighting for knowledge. Nessafarah keeps pushing Kuro toward reclaiming her role as a teacher, gently refusing to accept that the goddess who was once Galileo should settle for being admired only for her beauty. Kuro finds the persistence annoying and necessary in equal measure.

Elias

Elias is a flamboyant, yet affable mortal student who feels hollow without the adoration of an audience. As a child, he perfected singing so that he would be seen as talented and adopted by a loving family. Instead, he was adopted by the church, given angelic powers, and put to work as a gospel musician. Elias has a love/hate relationship with Christ, and has adapted to his misery by vicariously accepting the praise he earns for Christ for himself. He fears that he would be worthless without his angelic powers, so he plays the role of the perfect missionary. He uses his charismatic voice to gather admirers, masking his deep loneliness with a dazzling smile. He has been voted most likely to turn water into whine.

Elias finds Nessafarah simultaneously infuriating and deeply admirable now, watching her speak at campus events with conviction so genuine it makes his own ministry feel hollow by comparison.
