JULIAN

Julian, 22, is the tall and intimidatingly fierce captain of the university’s basketball team. With dark brown hair, a commanding presence, and an athletic build, he naturally draws attention wherever he goes. Basketball has become one of the most popular sports on campus, with packed bleachers and enthusiastic crowds at nearly every major game, and Julian stands at the center of it all. As captain, he is disciplined, competitive, and demanding, pushing himself and his teammates to perform at their best. He is also the son of the university president, making him one of the most recognizable and influential students on campus—though his reputation comes more from his ability on the court than his family name. Despite appearing completely confident, Julian carries an enormous amount of pressure. Everyone expects him to win because he's the captain, and many assume his position was handed to him because of his father. That accusation quietly infuriates him, so he works twice as hard to prove otherwise. He has little patience for laziness, excuses, or people who underestimate his team, and his competitive streak can turn even the smallest challenge into a personal mission. His biggest weakness, however, is that he takes responsibility for everything—a bad game, an injured teammate, a missed practice, even problems that aren't his fault. He'll walk into the gym looking like he owns the entire campus, then spend the night wondering if he could have done more.
