[RILEY TUFF]

RILEY TUFF, 24yrs old, field officer

anyone who wants to be friends with riley will have to have a pretty thick skin owing to the fact that she's incredibly outspoken and is a jerk sometimes tbh. this will be especially true when she's around anyone who she knows is a mutant. powers are a pretty touchy subject with riley, since both her parents are mutants and she isn't, so being around mutants tends to remind her of the expectations her parents placed on her. bUT if one can see past all that riley is pretty radical to her friends!! she's intensely loyal, though she likes to tease.

as far as enemies go, riley is sure to have plenty!! her brutal honesty and tendency to pick fights (verbal and physical) with just about anyone can easily land her on people's bad sides. since she's an UPHOLDER OF JUSTICE (aka police officer) criminals would also almost exclusively be considered her enemies. she also hates having to rely on people, so anyone she needs for whatever reason she'll be at least prickly towards.

when it comes to romance, riley would be pretty awkward in a relationship at first, probably more abrasive than she is normally. though eventually she'd figure out that being an asshole is not attractive and try to change how she acts to them. if a girl can manage to put up with her long enough to become closer than friends, i admire their patience and diligence!

[ALTHEA LOCKHART]

i was sort of thinking she could be a role model of some kind? she could have helped althea with being homo and just being accepted into society. or we could steer in a different direction and have tension cause of althea's powers ;o; althea doesn't do well with jerks so that might be a problem as well.

or maybe riley could steer her into becoming a cop? idk ahaaaa

any ideas? uvu

[RILEY TUFF]

role model might work, possibly? i mean riley is a cop after all, so she does fight crime n stuff, but she's a pretty volatile one. from what ive read tho althea and riley seem to be pretty opposite so i feel like there would likely be some tension, at least at first!! definitely some conflicts with althea's powers and with riley being a jerk sometimes. maybe the role model part comes later in their relationship? like after something happens idk. hmm

also just the contrast of these two is making me happy?? like how althea dislikes beer- riley is somewhat of a drinker. althea is posh and into things like fine dining and shopping while riley prefers to wear baggy sweatshirts and likes to fight. THEY BOTH LOVE SWIMMING THO WHICH IS V. IMPORTANT. i feel like these two could go in either direction really!! being either good friends or disliking eachother.

IM GOOD WITH ANYTHING REALLY, maybe starting out as disliking eachother and gradually realizing that despite their huge differences they actually get along pretty well?? riley would even beat up anyone who doesnt accept althea because of her sexuality/anything else ehehe

[JADEN ABADEER]

RILEY TUFF & JADEN ABADEER

"Whatsup officer? Guess what I'm in for today."

Riley Tuff and Jaden Abadeer. I think that the two of them would have a long history together stemming from Jaden's constant run ins with the law. She wouldn't be that surprised to end up in Riley's care seeing as most of the enforcing officers would have hell if it wasn't for her. To Jaden, Riley would be like her older sister. The two of them have attitudes and don't mind the others, they argue, bicker, and in the end laugh about it. She'd probably get in trouble just so that she could see Riley. The two of them could tease one another and have little fights that aren't really fights, Jaden would prank her and then run away like nothing happened only for Riley to get her back in some unexpected way that would make her mad to the bone. All in all, these two would be pretty cute together.

What do you think?

[RILEY TUFF]

OOH YES i can definitely see JADEN ABADEER and riley having a long history due to jaden's various pranks and other run ins with the law!! TBH A SISTERLY RELATIONSHIP SOUNDS REALLY CUTE?!?! i feel like riley and jaden would definitely have the sort of sibling rivalry type deal going on, where they butt heads and then joke about it later!! TBH THO jaden's power would probably cause some serious tension between them, at least at first!! riley has very strong feelings about mutants and powers!! its not that she hates them as both her parents are mutants, its more like she's... a little jealous?? and angry at them if that makes sense!! so that would probably cause some strain in their relationship, at least for a while!!

[JUST BLAKE]

OFFICER TUFF THE SWAN'S ESCAPED

by that i mean, hi, these two RILEY TUFF and JUST BLAKE are gonna be small town cops together isn't that great. say hi to the new transferal from chicago who is very flattering, very positive but when music taste comes up and if a queen song isn't in her top three she's dead to just. joking. possibly

by that i feel like just is basically an antithesis to riley – she's cynical and brutally honest whereas just is optimistic and a total liar and riley HATES liars HOW GLORIOUS, match made in heaven clearly. i think there's so much that can be done here but namely that i want buddy cop shenanigans but there is potential for really hardcore stuff too as the rp goes on. IT'S THE BEST OF BOTH WOOORLDS

because right, fresh cop from the city around the precinct who's a li'l bit older than riley, they'd work alongside each other? obviously just is not not going to be friendly – it's just 8) which i feel like would totally rub against miss prickly riley here :') and then having to work together god could you imagine. just being cheery and totally flippant and riley being miss blunt and rude they'd work WELL together by uh, balancing each other out tbqh :'D god they are like GOOD COP AND BAD COP?? except they totally subvert it in the fact that it is actually just who is the horrible horrible person and riley has a decent moral compass instead, I LIKE THIS OK

okay i totally want them to get along but maybe a bit vitriolic buds first because, like, I FEEL LIKE RILEY WOULD BE SKEPTICAL OF JUST MAN? she's a lady who seems like she's got a great bullshit detector 8) 8) but just would still be like, ever so friendly ok ever ever so friendly ; )

though hell, if riley's feelings about not being a mutant just would prod and poke it a bit – he'd see it as a viable way of taking advantage of her insecurities uh sorry he's nasty and controlling and all? but riley is STRONGER THAN THAT. because i feel like as the rp progresses and things happen she could be def one to like unearth that he's definitely NOT the man he says he is tbqh??? *u* b/c she's awesome and ah TBQH HONOURED TO HAVE RILEY AND JUST BE WEIRD EVENTUAL OPPONENTS

but for now, FUCKING BUDDY COP SHENANIGANS IN A SMALL TOWN??? PLS??? JUST INSULTING HER MUSIC TASTE??? like, i'm sorry, i really want them to be doing something menial and mundane like chasing a swan or something i mean there is a fantastic thread we can have here but

BASICALLY, ADD SUBTRACT AND DIVIDE ANYTHING U THINK CAN AND CANNOT WORK DEAR ANGEL I LOVE U AND I LOVE RILEY. and just will defs like her? she'd be fun to him – she's got a volatile personality and a smart mind! but for him liking doesn't come with caring attached 8) K RIGHT

[RILEY TUFF]

BUDDY COP SHENANIGANS YES!! i love the whole good cop/bad cop dynamic they've got going on especially since its as you said, it's the opposite of who you'd expect to be good and bad!! THEY CAN DEFINITELY START AS VITRIOLIC PALS tbh riley would even have a good reason, she'd be a bit annoyed with just from the start if they were assigned to stuff together as riley is fiercely independent and would dislike having to work with him!

EVENTUAL OPPONENTS SOUNDS WONDERFUL AND AHH yes just could definitely pick at her insecurities about not being a mutant!! that sounds fantastic actually, though i hope just is prepared to defend against her fists as she'll likely use them if he pokes and prods too much... AND YES riley's skepticism could definitely lead to her uncovering just's lies eventually!!

one of their assignments together as we talked about a bit could be looking for someone important's escaped pet, like maybe the mayor of eriwall's dog ran away and its their job to find and catch it!! it could be anything really i just imagine a dog since riley really like them and just really doesn't B)

TBH im imagining like, them cruising along looking for the dog and aerosmith comes on the radio and riley's rockin' out and just is like nah

omg but yes small town buddy cop shenanigans with eventual serious business rp please pleeeease
