GRAND PINE UNIVERSITY
(any resemblance to people real or fictional is completely coincidental and not intended!)
Welcome to GPU
Our goal is to provide education for all walks of life and for all future plans!
"Life's difficult, but it doesn't need to be hard! With this University, I want everyone to follow their dreams!" - Robert Santiago, Founder, 1969
OUR GOAL
Robert Santiago was unhappy when his children began to struggle to find Universities that fit their needs: The need to both earn a degree and stay together. His family was extremely close and the children had lost interest in further schooling due to being unable to learn together.
Frustrated, Santiago invested his money into a new University - Great Pine - and hired professors from all degrees so anyone from anywhere could earn their degree all while staying close to their friends and family.
To this day, we uphold his goal, and since 1968 we have helped many people find their way in life.
Become a Hound Dog!

Real Talk
Hope you guys like my OCs lol
I tried to make this similar to an actual college site, but idk if I did it too well. I'm also not huge on Jai, so idk why I'm putting in so much effort, BUT they say "dress for the job you want, not the one you have", so I'm applying that to my accounts. I want my stuff interesting BEFORE people start showing interest.
On that note, like I know not a lot of people would be interested or do so, but if you guys wanted to make OCs for any of my stuff you can :>
It doesn't need to be for this college stuff, either, (if you do, I'll add them here), but you can do OCs for any of my series stuff - like the outlaws or pirates, for example. Something with lore going on.
For this series, if you want me to replace or add someone to a sports roster, feel free to ask! Most those OCs aren't actually existing lmao.Anyway, at the bottom of the main page there's a whole "counselor" thing (it's me. I'm the counselor), those have links and my discord user so feel free to talk to me!- Counselor Dreemy
ALSOSorry if some of the site looks wonky. I tried doing something cool, and I can't tell if it even worked lmao

Connie Franklin

ABOUT
Connie comes from a middle class family who moved to Florida for work reasons. She is an only child and is used to attention, though she still tends to be naive about it.
She joined GPU for the hell of it, wanting to make friends and be a cheerleader like she's seen in movies.
Despite her sweet demeanor, however, Connie isn't a stranger to being a "mean girl" and has been awful to people before.

She is very close to her family and sees them as the most important thing in her life.

Derek Quill

ABOUT
Derek grew up in a well-off family, never needing for anything. As a kid he was initially very proud of this, but over time saw it bother others. So by high school he had started living like he didn't have much money at all. His current best friend is Ethan Winchell, a guy who doesn't fit in with the popular crowd. They had met in high school and Derek found himself getting close to Ethan despite being two years older than him.

Ethan Winchell

ABOUT
When Ethan was five, his birth mother (who he refuses to talk about) had skipped out on the family. It was two years later when his father married Sara and Ethan felt happy again. Sara had encouraged Ethan to continue following any of his passions, part of why he ended up at GPU to pursue technological engineering.
He has been friends with Derek for a lot of their lives, whether he likes it or not. Often feels strange for choosing a "nerdy" major.

ABOUT
Niko has always been hot-headed growing up, which made him decent for sports. This anger never faded over time, even when he got married to Janet. Coach Reese began working as a coach for the basketball team at GPU, which helped him get some stress out by shouting at the players. Except he actually became more stressed whenever the team did bad.
Janet was unable to handle this for long and has recently divorced Niko, which only agitated and stressed him out more. His children don't talk to him either, not wanting to deal with his outbursts.

DAle Santiago

ABOUT
While it wasn't pushed especially hard, Dale had always been anxious about living up to certain expectations growing up considering his grandfather was Robert Santiago himself - the founder of GPU.
Dale had done what he could to keep his parents proud, though he felt a lot of pressure despite being the descendant of a college-founder wasn't especially hard. He always made it harder on himself than he had to.
So it made sense to Dale to grow up and be in charge of the college himself, which was essentially handed down to him from his aunt (who didn't have children herself) though typically the Dean position isn't something family-related.
