THE GIRL

Once upon a time, the Fabulous Killjoys took in a little girl. She didn't have a name, but she did have a home, and it was with them, with four boys who loved her like their own. Ghoul loves the Girl like one would a little sister, like a daughter, because she's family. He's found her again, twelve years older than he remembers, and he's already promising himself he's never going to leave her alone again. Currently, the Girl is living elsewhere, because Ghoul has been a train wreck for a while now and she doesn't know how to deal with him. He wants to make amends - but one, he doesn't know how, and two, he doesn't want to stop what he's doing. They haven't spoken for what feels like a long time, now.

PARTY POISON

All of Ghoul's feelings about Party Poison are a mess. He missed him a hell of a lot these past few months, but now that he's here, Ghoul doesn't know what to do with him. The world they came from is so much different than it is here and he's not even sure if he still has the same feelings he used to for Party - when he's away from Party, anyway; when they're close, standing side by side, Ghoul's still totally head over heels for the guy. Ghoul's just struggling with trying to balance his old life (which keeps coming up to punch him in the gut) and his new one here, and Party is a definite wrench in that. Still... Ghoul trusts him more than anything and would do anything Party asked of him. Mostly.

VAL VELOCITY

Val is a dick. He killed one of Ghoul's old friends back home, did a whole bunch of shit in the wake of the dangercrew's death, and thinks he's better than the dangercrew themselves, which Ghoul takes issue with. Ghoul thinks Val is a smug, pompous asshole, but it won't stop him from trying to help the guy. Even if he does have an ego, Ghoul won't let another killjoy suffer, which is why, before the whole drug problem thing, Ghoul was keeping an eye out on Val and his propensity to shoot himself in the foot, literally and figuratively. Now, Val's out loose and Ghoul's lost track of him - and he's almost not sure he cares enough to try and figure it out. What has Val ever done for him, right?

CHERRI COLA

Another one who Ghoul has no idea how to handle. Cherri ran with them, off and on. He was a friend to the dangercrew and Ghoul trusted him, but Cherri said no, when the Girl was kidnapped. He wouldn't go, and Ghoul was furious - is still furious, because for a long time, for him, the Girl has been more important than anything else in the Zones. Cherri had his reasons, but Ghoul is willing to be unreasonable about it. In the Box, he's nursing his grudge very, very sorely, and so far, hasn't had much nice to say at all to the guy. He's not really sure he can ever forgive Cherri fully - but just like with Val, he's not willing to leave Cherri out to dry. If he needs help, Ghoul will help. Angrily.

Friends

TJ

Somehow, TJ's made his way onto Ghoul's list of important people. TJ comes off very strongly as killjoy-esque in everything he does and as a result, it's definitely caught Ghoul's attention - to the point where he's actively trying to shut himself down so that he won't get hurt when it turns out TJ doesn't feel the same way Ghoul's starting to. It's only gotten worse (or better) now that TJ's taken care of him. Probably the closest friend that Ghoul has here so far and someone that he's promised himself he's going to look out for. Or at least, he did. Ghoul hasn't seen TJ in far too long, and he's now convinced TJ has left for good. It affects Ghoul far more than he shows - but the pain of losing someone who rapidly became that important to him (along with the other struggles in the Box) has manifested into a terrible spiral down.

Jesse

Jesse Pinkman is quite the character. Ghoul's not really sure what to make of him a lot of the time, but he knows that he likes the guy. Thinks he's cute, too, and has probably brought it up once or twice, despite Jesse's protests. It's not very serious, though, and honestly? Ghoul just thinks Jesse's fun. Loyal, too, easy to be around, and trustworthy - Ghoul's grown particularly close to the guy and has pretty much become his own personal bodyguard, since Jesse lost his leg. Ghoul thinks highly of Jesse, even with all the trauma both of them have gone through, and Jesse is definitely one of the people Ghoul would lay his life down for.

Amal

Ohhh, Amal. Out of all the people he's met here so far, Ghoul is the most confused by Amal. They started off on the wrong foot because of a misunderstanding in slang and it didn't really get much better than that. Amal saved his butt after he got pushed off a roof and had his tires slashed, so to speak, so Ghoul's grateful. Along that vein, Amal sort of reminds him a bit of Jet Star, in a way, and that gives him some extra points. Still, Ghoul's wary, because he can't tell if Amal hates him or not, and it unnerves him. Doesn't help that Amal's kind of hot, too, which adds a whole other element. He wouldn't throw the guy under the bus, but he's also not going to entirely trust a person who would give up someone like TJ, either. It's gotten better now that he's mostly over breaking down in front of Amal, but he's still a little awkward and he's still having a hard time interacting with the guy. He doesn't know the boundaries and he's so goddamned attached to TJ that he doesn't know if he's stealing or not. It's complicated. But he does really like Amal, and trusts him a little more, now - and would do a hell of a lot to keep Amal safe.

Glen

By total chance, Glen ended up being a big part of Ghoul's life in the Box. She's talented, smart, witty and independent, all things Ghoul likes in a person. And most importantly, she's on his same level. Ghoul is attached, sure, but there aren't many romantic feelings there, despite the fact that they've slept together probably more than once or twice. He cares a hell of a lot about her (feels guilty that he got her killed recently, as well) but it isn't any more than that and he's not sure she would want something along those lines anyway. It's comfortable - they can both be who they are without much fear of repercussion, and Ghoul likes how easy it is between them, the balance between sex, intimacy and friendship. Glen is another person on Ghoul's long list of those he feels the need to protect.

Dan

It's surprising how similar Ghoul and Dan are. Both from a post-apocalypse wasteland, both with a history in drug abuse and the tendency to brush off their problems like they don't matter as much as they actually do, Ghoul and Dan sort of just get each other. Ghoul genuinely likes Dan and he never, ever wants to have to watch the courier die again. Once was more than enough. Dan is another one of those people in Ghoul's life that caught him by surprise - he cares a hell of a lot for the guy and despite his douchey attempts to forget his own troubles by sleeping with Dan, Dan still sticks around. Ghoul's convinced there's going to be something that pushes the edge, but he'll take this until he can't have it anymore. It's comforting, to have someone who gets him like this.

Matt

Matt is weird, but Ghoul likes it. He doesn't understand the way Matt's head works sometimes, and the weirdly aggressive/manipulative part of Matt makes him wary, but Ghoul isn't afraid of him, by any means (he's used to that trait in other people). He's just intrigued, and maybe sort of interested. They're both tech savvy, and they get along pretty well, and past those, even, Ghoul feels obligated to wrap Matt in bubblewrap and make sure he doesn't lose any more limbs. Well - obligated and wants to. Matt's a good dude, and he's one of the first people here to make Ghoul genuinely laugh, even if he does make Ghoul uneasy sometimes.

Clementine

Oh, Clementine - Clem reminds Ghoul fiercely of his Girl. She's spunky and headstrong and Ghoul basically adores her. His fondness for her, at the moment, makes him feel guilty if only because he sometimes feels like he's replacing his Girl (who is so much older than he remembers) with Clem (who is closer to the same age as the Girl he left). But regardless of that, Clementine is definitely someone Ghoul wants to look out for. Not that he thinks she necessarily needs it from him, but still. He's got a weakness for kids and she's no exception - especially with the more he hears about her life back home. For now, Ghoul plans to keep an eye on her and make sure she never goes hungry, at the very least.

Enemies

Czeslaw

Little liar. Ghoul doesn't hate the kid, but he sure as hell isn't fond of him, either, considering he was knocked off a roof into a bunch of scarecrows by him. Ghoul finds it hard to hate kids in general, but Czes may be his first exception. Sure, there's survival instinct, but it doesn't change the fact that when Ghoul saw him next, he hung him off the side of a building and threatened him. Just don't get close, because next time, he might be a little less forgiving.
