Cliff Northwind's Links
[Related] Alcott's firstborn. Cliff could never accept him leaving his mom, and now harbors hatred towards him. He'll never forgive him, and he'll always make that clear in the rare instances they meet.
[Related] Cliff's father. Alcott is well aware of Cliff's hatred towards him, and understands why. He braced himself for this when he divorced his ex-wife. It doesn't make it hurt any less, but he can't stop Cliff from feeling this way. He just hopes that someday his son will understand.
[Related] Cliff is Cecelia's oldest brother. He loves her and wants only the best for her, but can't fathom for the life of him how she could see any redeeming traits in their deadbeat father. He keeps trying to explain it, but Cecelia is always adamant that he has it wrong. It's absolutely frustrating.
[Related] Cecelia is Cliff's youngest sister. She's stoked that he's so famous and loves to brag about it, but she can't understand why he hates their dad so much. She keeps trying to explain how trapped their dad felt, but he refuses to listen. It's so annoying!
[Lovers] Cliff isn't quite sure how he ran across Jun, and he's even less sure how he gained the feelings he does for him. Normally someone like the unkempt man would disgust Cliff, but he felt himself drawn to him. There was just something about him that was easily able to get under all of the actor's walls, and now he finds himself thinking about him frequently. The only real downside is that now Cliff finds himself unironically watching Tiktoks.
[Related] Motto's oldest brother. Cliff was surprised when Motto decided to go with their dad; he was disappointed and admittedly bitter. He loves his brother but can't understand what would make him even think being around their dad is a good idea. Because of that, he's incidentally become cold towards him.
Motto's decision to move in with their father rather than their mother left a small tension between their relationship. He may not act like it nor speak about it, but Cliff's existence is widely important to him. In fact, he rarely speaks of his siblings and is likely that all of his friends doesn't know that his eldest brother is a super famous actor. The idea of his older brother being a celebrity greatly influences the fact that he could become famous as well through music.
Cliff was shocked when he met Mr. TV and his... head, but it was easily forgotten when he was lured in with the promise of fame and fortune. He saw his dreams, his FUTURE, through that monitor, and gladly offered part of his soul. He became a famous actor like he'd always wanted, but now he finds himself confined to this role. All other jobs he wants, Mr. TV won't allow. It's as if he's a caged zoo animal now...
Mr. TV was the one who found Cliff when he was starting out in the movie business. The kid had talent, but it was that power of his that caught the producer's eye. He got part of Cliff's soul inside his Film Collection and boosted him to one of the most famous actors out there. And now with both the fame and his soul, Cliff has no choice but to act in whatever role Mr. TV deems fit.
