Meet The Gamemakers

<><><>

Paella Andouille

    Looks: In her mid-twenties, Paella has reached the impressive height of 5'1", which she has mixed feelings about. It's not exactly great for when she needs to be taken seriously, or threaten people, or reach things high up. It's rather upsetting when she has to ask someone to reach something above her head. Paella is also teased constantly about her height by Pluto, which infuriates her beyond belief. However, Paella's rather satisfied with the remainder of her appearance, taking pride in her silky auburn hair, usually in a neat braid. Her eyes are green with small speckles of lavender, that of the herb rosemary. She's not pick-out-of-the-crowd attractive, but she's pretty enough. Paella is thankful to be blessed with this amount of looks as her appearance isn't a distraction, but she can use it when she needs to to get what she wants. Her fashion choices tend to deviate from that of the average Capital person her age, leaning toward darker colors and simpler attire.

    Personality: Paella is a very serious person. She is a workaholic who only thinks about her job which she is afraid of losing due to the fierce competition she has developed with the other head Gamemaker, Pluto Solaris. She gets angry very easily and frustrated when colleagues or underlings are stupid. Much more intelligent than the average person, Paella has a difficult time holding her tongue around people usually ranking higher than her whom she believes are not as wise as she is. She is very much a leader more than a follower and tends to criticize people's work and decisions more than she should, causing many people to dislike her or think she's bossy. However, when criticized herself, Paella does not respond well. She can be extremely stubborn and firmly believes she is always right until proven wrong with evidence. Her decisions are based mainly on what will benefit her and she will not hesitate to go to extreme measures to be the best. Paella has a lot of pent-up anger over the years that someday will explode and result in inevitable consequences for her.

Pluto Solaris

Looks: With average height, slight stubble, and stunning hazel-gray eyes, Pluto is a very handsome man. In his mid twenties, he has exceptionally nice silver hair. These good looks tend to let him pass by on not really dressing all the way up for certain events. His average height adds to his effortless perfectness, and he points out his taller height to Paella often. His perfect complexion fits right in with the rest of the capital, making him not stand out in a big crowd.

Personality: Pluto is a very quiet and shy adult, but, like any capital person who works for the government, knows when to turn on the light and shine. He often makes jokes to try and make others (mainly Paella) lighten up at times. Pluto often excels without trying (much to Paella's dismay), but when he puts his mind to something, his creativity and uniqueness sets him far apart from the rest. When talking to those of a higher rank he tends to lie almost like it's his first language, making up very believable lies to get him to the next anxious encounter. Pluto tends to think most things he does are the best decision. When they turn out not as well as hoped, he usually manages to climb back up and stay strong. He tends to be very quiet and secretive, keeping almost everything to himself. Pluto is often in the background as an unseen leader, being a backbone of the team. He's able to pull strings to allow him, as well as those he works with, stay afloat.

The Gamemakers' Relationship: Paella and Pluto aren't on the best of terms- they rather dislike each other. Both ambitious, they will do anything to get what they want, which often leaves the other extremely pissed off. The two can barely stand to be in the presence of the other; both hold grudges and don't forget anything the other did, therefore creating a very long list of reasons to hate each other. They love to point out when the other is incorrect and are always competing with each other to be the best.
