heather atkinson

Heather is probably the character I have the most fun with. When I first made him, there was no Boredom, there wasn't even an idea about it. But a friend and I brainstormed ideas of characters that we could make stories or art about. I just wanted a kind of idiot from the UK who was a huge punk and liked drugs. The project between us never went anywhere, but I took a huge liking to him, so I kind of put him on the back burner until I would need him or something... And sooner than I could even imagine, I did.

He became a lot more sinister when I wrote Boredom as apposed to a pretty harmless, sweet, oblivious character. But I think I like him more now.

Likes: Roses, black coffee, insects.

Dislikes: Being sober, people who can't have fun.

God, talking about Aaron is just me beating a dead horse, I do it so often. I've had him since I was a freshman in high school... And he stuck with me ever since. I left him hanging a lot of times and seriously didn't think he would play much of a role in anything after Aaron and Jayson... But when coming up with these teenage boys, I remembered having him... and the gears just started turning.

I don't think he's changed drastically from Aaron and Jayson. I think that he just got older, which in it's own will change a person. So it's a natural difference at that. It was so much fun to dive deep into him. I've had him for years and ideas for him, but Boredom was finally something he fit into so well. I'm really happy he did.

Likes: Music, tostones, ugly

high socks.

Dislikes: Sitting still, talking about his problems

jace harris

Jace is undeniably the most mature of the kids... He's really level headed and intelligent, so he's always the one to take on the responsibility of roasting the boys when they're out of line, or just helping out when they need advice, someone to lean on.

From the moment I made him, I felt like him an Aaron had to be close, and it's stood that way since. He and Aaron have more in common than you would think, which will eventually be expanded on. But when Aaron decides to let him in the one time every 7 million years, Jace is always a voice of reason for Aaron, and probably one of the only people that Aaron genuinely listens to.

Likes: Anime, conspiracy theories, spicy things

Dislikes: Stereotypes, people who get offended easily, spiders.

santi longo

You know that one dude who every body knows? Like he's at every event, he's beautiful, and really nice or fun to be around? That's Santi. Next to heather, he's the most social out of the boys and is most times the ringleader of starting absolute headassery. He's a good kid- but he likes doing reckless shit as he believes life is too short to not be gnarly as fuck. Yeah, he said that.

He and Ethan have a really unorthodox bromance being that the only thing they even have in common is their love for video games. But that explanation is for later.

Likes: Drumming, having people guess his nationality, fashion

Dislikes: religion, math, bandwagoners.

Ethan's a sweet heart. He's kind of oblivious to a lot of things, and is generally an idiot. But he has his moments every now and then to show that his head isn't always up in the clouds. He's kind of timid when he's not by his friends, but when he is, he almost feels invincible, and they've helped him to break out of his shell a little.

People really like Ethan, and I can see why. He's pretty relatable throughout the comic, and is lowkey the least serious one out of the other boys. I'm glad people found him as charmingly goofy as I intended for him to be.

Likes: Video games, baking, stormy weather

Dislikes: when he has to take a mean dump but only a pebble comes out
