LEAD - "X" ( Male, White) his polished corporate demeanor hides a fierce survival instinct honed from years of navigating cutthroat office politics. In the arena, he applies the same strategic thinking and calculated risk-taking that helped him climb the corporate ladder. Dressed in a business suit that’s quickly adapted for practicality, he leverages his experience in negotiation and manipulation to form temporary alliances, always with an eye on the endgame.

LEAD - "Question Mark" (Female or Non-binary, Asian) their cool, laid-back vibe masks a sharp, adaptable mind. They’re fiercely independent but know the value of a well-timed alliance, often using their charm and wit to outmaneuver stronger competitors. Their edgy, rebellious nature drives them to resist any attempts at control, and they’re willing to take risks others might shy away from, always thinking two steps ahead. Edgy style, the kind of person who could either be an ad exec or a tattoo artist.
