Your name is Verani Ioane and you were born and raised on the island of Tahiti. You're now in your second year at the University of British Columbia.
In your first year at the University, you focused solely on your studies, and nothing else. You had plenty of opportunities to socialize if you had wanted to. But moving from the South Pacific to the North Pacific was a big enough culture shock as it was. Throwing in anything that distracted from your focus on academics would have ended your college career before it began.
Now that you're in your second year, you're letting yourself have a little fun. You're not dating. Not right now. You don't need the drama. But you have fun with your friends, even if they are a little nerdy. Maybe especially because they are a little nerdy.
Last weekend, for instance, you and your friends went to VCON (the oldest fan run science fiction convention across Canada and in the Pacific Northwest). You went dressed as Jade from Mortal Kombat 9. Yeah, your costume was a little slutty...okay, maybe more than a little...and you wouldn't dress that way on campus. You actually waited until you got to VCON to change into your costume, and as soon as the costume contest was over, you changed back into your street clothes. But it was exciting to walk around in a skimpy costume.
Okay, the costume wasn't completely one hundred percent accurate. The bottom half of your costume wasn't as "thongish" as Jade's, and your boots were heelless. And you're half a foot shorter than Jade is supposed to be. But thanks to your mixed Mā’ohi/Chinese heritage, long, dark straight hair, and fit, trim body, you had the exotic looks to pull it off. Add that to the fact that you filled the laced top of your costume to overflowing, and you definitely got more than one look from anyone who say you.
One admirer even gave you the MONSTR app. At first you were going to ignore it, as it looked like a dating app for cosplayers, and you had no time for dating, even it was niche dating. Except it wasn't even niche dating. The app gave humans the opportunity to date monsters. Real monsters, like the ones from mythologies and legends and such.
You ignored the app, of course. Even if it were real (and you didn't think it was), you didn't have time for it. Or any dating.
But the app's existence kept on nagging at you from the back of your mind. So on a whim, you filled out a profile. Almost within a day, your inbox was filled with texts from monsters wanting to meet you.
Concluding that one date wouldn't ruin your academic career, you decide to go on a date with one of the following:
Tillup, a Cecaelia with the upper body of a handsome, well built First Nation man and the lower body of a squid. Tillup is quiet, stolid, at home in the wild (in water or woods) and a student of the philosophies of various cultures
Saghro, a seventy-foot tall male descendant of the legendary Atlas. Like his ancestor, Saghro has Grecian physical traits and is well versed in mathematics, astronomy and philosophy
Hagrid, a male selkie with a taste for harmless, practical jokes and folk music, plays guitar very well
Sogel. a male wood elf, fair skinned, blonde, blue eyed, six foot tall, somewhat serious, and an eco-activist
Rork, a ten and half foot tall "green man," with dark shaggy hair, green skin, pronounced lower jaw with two long canines extending upwards. Speaks very simply, quite gentle but preternaturally strong, especially when angry. A vegetarian and quite a good cook
