kaveh | genshin impact

[merlot]

[ a sleep deprived future architect who regularly loses the keycard to get back into the building/room he lives in. m/m if shipping is involved! ]

jang hanseok | vincenzo | voicetesting!

[devilspirit]

[ a study-abroad law student at stanford going by the "american name" of henry jang. very smart and speaks english on a native speaker's level of proficiency, but he's a pretty average student overall. generally a friendly, sociable guy, well liked, plays collegiate hockey, comes from money without disclosing much about his family background - and seems normal to most strangers despite his diagnosed ASPD and history of multiple homicides in high school. not interested in II-7. shipping open to any gender, especially one-off college fuckbuddies as assumed cr; no to incest or idol/musician/model fcs. very interested in crosscanon for this one! ]

sherlock holmes — bbc's sherlock

[unsolved]

[ An introverted chemist with a wide-reaching reputation for being a huge weirdo. Never seems to sleep. Always skulking around random places, avoiding the dorms like the plague. Occasionally solves cases for other students as a hobby. ]

wolfwood; trigun stampede.

[yoke]

[ biochem major going into mortuary science; works at the campus coffee shop part time and hates every second of it. ]

hell yeah hell yeah hell yeahhhhhhh

[plantcifist]

[ vash stumbles through the doors of the coffee shop, the bell chiming along with him pleasantly, and vash exhales loudly, bends over and grips his knees to catch his breath a few times before standing up with a noisy groan of relief. ]

Haah! Made it!

[ He tosses the baja blast in his jacket pocket into the trash and walks up to the counter to survey the menu, as if anything's changed much since he was here yesterday. This isn't his normal coffee shop, he usually frequents the one on the other side of campus, closer to the music building, but on a whim tried this one yesterday and he's been dreaming of the coffee since.

The same bartender is behind the counter, and Vash lights up. ]

Hey! Wolfwood, right?! I've been dreaming about that coffee you made me since yesterday... the other coffee shop's coffee always tastes burnt.

[ Vash recognises him, vaguely, as someone he's seen around the sciences buildings. Vash is a double major - biotech and music with a minor in social sciences (because he's insane, as people so often tell him) and Wolfwood must be some kind of related science major, but he doesn't think they've had a class together yet. Maybe? Vash's schedule is a little nuts, but he thinks he'd recognize someone was cute as Wolfwood if he'd seen him more than once.

Vash digs around in his red bomber jacket, fishes out his wallet and hands over a bill. ] Ahh... I'll have.... I guess the same thing as yesterday? Caramel frappe with four shots and extra cream!

[talentedscavenger]

[That one student who has multiple part time jobs around campus—coffee shop mixing drinks, bookstore employee restocking things, or the one giving campus tours on the weekends.

She’s majoring in Engineering, living off of coffee, rice and ramen noodles. She keeps to herself because her time is eaten up by work, studying or applying to scholarships. There are a few friends who make sure she’s not a total hermit, but she would prefer to take a nap than go to a party. ]

chu wanning | the husky and his white cat shizun

[3799]

[ a professor with no work/life boundaries. you'll learn a lot in his class, but you'll probably still flunk it. his office hours stretch late into the night. m/m for shipping. ]

venti | genshin impact

[windblume]

( music teacher that keeps getting mistaken as a student. :/ )

[sealedsun]

[I KNOW WE HAVE THAT SUPER CUTE OTHER THREAD but i love college aus and your venti is so sweet and charming so i wanted to reach out and see if you wanted to thread out one of these prompts too!

angel devil / csm

[ungenial]

( probably in school only because he has to be. an art history major who falls asleep during most of his classes and is the bane of every group project. m/m if it leans shippy! )

elia martell | asoiaf | ota

[veryfond]

[ really sweet rich girl studying pre-law or history or something- it doesn't matter, she's rich. definitely a sorority president for one of the good ones with no hazing. everyone thought her long-time bf was going to propose but instead he started cheating on her with a freshman :( ]

zhongli | genshin impact

[decibel]

( cultural studies professor and occasional guest lecturer with a penchant for going on long tangents. knows a lot about fields even outside of what his class offers and is always willing to help his students with their studies — so long as they put in the effort, that is. )

ren amamiya | persona 5

[memoriter]

[ that one kid in your class who always knows the answer you're looking for, even if he seems like he's distracted by his phone. he's friendly and charismatic, but still kind of shady in that he keeps people who aren't in his circle at arm's length. genuinely willing to help, but has an eavesdropping problem.

if you need someone to sweet talk a TA, he's your guy. ]

fushiguro, megumi | jujutsu kaisen

[unequally]

[ bc canon is being v mean to him lmao but what's new!? studying to be a veterinarian. is a well-loved dog-walker for both students and teachers who own them, as well as other locals. never long on the social side of things. rumor has it he was a real delinquent in high school and beat up every thug within arm's reach but you wouldn't know it with how soft he is with his own wolf-like dogs: kuro and shiro, black and white respectively. because he has his own dogs, he lives a little off campus. he's here on scholarship or someone else's money tbh. m/m if shipping, crosscanon and ocs welcome. ]

Robin (My Unit) | Fire Emblem Awakening

[arcthunders]
