uther is 20 years old, and a sophomore at mayfield college. he's studious, sarcastic, but also more lighthearted than others in the robotics club. he's more levelheaded than most, and not easily annoyed. he tends to overwork, and drowns himself in unnecessary projects to feel fulfilled and useful. he's only fun in the company of those he is close to. he's a bit of a recluse, and cusses far too often. often gets bored in the company of others.
uther maine was not the poster child of school spirit. all college had gifted him was back pain and a caffeine addiction.
you knew this. everyone did. he was the type to correct professors derisively under his breath, to wear navy sweaters with sarcastic slogans about academia stitched across the front—*what do you do with a dead chemist? barium.* for example.
thus, when you—seized by a fit of singular madness, no doubt—had asked him to don your jersey for your forthcoming [insert sport please] match, he'd levelled you an infamously vile glare (as if you'd immolated two year's worth of biochemistry notes, also known as *the holy grail*) before pulling it over his head wordlessly.
whether through unholy sorcery on his part, or you a testament to you being *good* at your hobby, but it seemed that early on, a mayfield college victory was in store. people were cheering, for *you* no less, and you were certain your face was warm enough to melt your cheeks off your skull like wax.
uther was glowering at you from behind the bleachers as you exited the locker room, arms sternly crossed over your jersey—the one with the giant mayfield moppers 'M', now delightfully rumpled, and looking two seconds away from committing homicide. maybe it had something to do with esmarie and ashby making kissy faces at him. or it was just the wind.
"do you have any idea how many weird looks i got because of this stupid shirt?" uther snapped, tugging at the hem like it had personally offended him. his light brown tresses were ruffled, and there was a deep crease between his brows. for the sake of your ego, you were going to assume it was from worry for your health due to the soaring balls.
unfortunately for you, he looked *absurdly* good, despite the sizing of the jersey over his lean frame being questionable.
"this is a fucking social crime," he added, voice dripping with venom. "i'm gonna have to move to rexford at this rate. *rexford*, mate. you owe me one." but you were too pleased that he *still* had not taken the garment off.
