about BORK BUCHWIESER

🐕 Burkhardt "Bork" Buchwieser
♈️ [03] [27] [2005]

Burkhardt Buchwieser was born in 2001 to Margot and Baldur Buchwieser in the southeastern German city of Barkenheim. His father owns the fictional magazine company, "BORK!" (a loose inspiration for his name), where he would intern part-time as a sales associate for college. Because of his father's work, he spent his childhood with his mother - a housewife. At four, Bork would see himself with a new young brother, something he's not keened about at first but would live by.

At the age of six, he met and befriended a cheetah named Felix Jäger in first grade, who's recently moved into the country and would become Bork's lifelong best friend. In the mid-2010s, he would attend high school, still paired up with Felix and up until college as a freshman in the early 2020s.

With his dad running a magazine company, Bork found interest in the art of business and corporations, often fantasising to himself about running a company like his dad does. Not only was the idea of money-making attracted him to the business world, but also the art of advertisements. There was just something about the creativity behind ad posters and billboards that struck Bork - and that's when he found appeal in graphic designing. With all the influence of flashy colours and bolded texts around him, at age 15, he started working as a freelance graphic designer, often working along with small businesses.

Spending time with Felix, who's known for his love of athleticism, Bork also found fun with it, often joining him in his games. At high school, this opted Bork to join him in the swimming team not only for his passion but also to be with the cheetah.

The two would find themselves spending the majority of their childhood and teenage years together, as they lived relatively close to each other too, where the two would almost seem like an "unstoppable duo," remarked his mother. Sometime later in late high school, Bork would start feeling uneasy and shyer around Felix, as if he was developing a crush towards him. Knowing this, Bork denied to himself that he was falling for the cheetah and insisted on entering a relationship with a girl who he knew had an eye for him - where it'd only last for four months. Realising his failure with his first relationship, he hesitantly accepts what he is but decides to keep it to himself for a while. In the last year of high school, their friendship would see a few changes when Felix starts getting closer and more "teasy" with Bork, where his feelings would even deepen towards him. This continues up until the year-end when Felix grabs him to the ball to dance, confessing to him drunk after a party in his room where the two would fall for each other.

To prepare for University, the two would find a place for the both to stay in together. And in October of 2023, Bork enters Normann University as a business student.

about FELIX JÄGER

🐆 Felix Klement Jäger
♈️ [04] [19] [2004]

Felix Jäger was born in 2004 in Landskrona, Sweden, to Lucy and Vicent Jäger. Before moving to Barkenheim, Germany, for permanent residence, his Swedish father worked as a lumber in Derome, whereas his German mother worked as a baker in a local town bakery. Influenced by his father's job and history in competitive bodybuilding, the cheetah found interest in athleticism at an early age as he would constantly watch films about martial arts. At five, they would move out of the country and land themselves in a neighbourhood just by the city of Barkenheim, where he also spends his first day at school surrounded by the local children, feeling a little left out as he's only moved into the country recently until he met Bork, his soon-to-be lifetime best friend.

His love for sports and athletics never faded away, however. He found interest in swimming after his father took him out in a nearby lake just behind their house. Spending most of his childhood with sports or with Bork - or both, even taking Taekwondo classes - paid well for his athleticism when high school started, as he's often competed in swimming/tracking competitions under the name of his school.

High school went pretty smoothly for the cheetah, having made some good friends of his own in the team and around the school as he's got some quiet of fame in it - it didn't stop him from distancing himself from Bork. Frequently, they would go home together after school or spend the weekends at each other's places, as if they just couldn't be separated from each other. Often surrounded by other men in high school who were just as built as him, he found himself blankly staring at the other men in front of him during a practice session by the pool, distracted from whatever sermon the coach was giving them at that time. Something clicked inside of him at that moment which he couldn't properly process, and that bugged him even on the way home but eventually, he scoffed it off as a simple weird thought that he had that day. This thought would only annoy him further the more times he spent with his team and around Bork - now that Bork in particular has been noticing him acting a little weird when they were together. Still in denial, he challenged himself one night by consuming both straight and gay pornography out of curiosity - reluctantly, his eyes and feelings did not lie and he accepted his new truth.

Amid the pandemic, the cheetah finds himself making a TikTok account for "fucking around and why not," where he would often make sketches, bringing Bork with him sometime. With everyone being locked in their homes, this proved to be a fun little hobby for him to do, continuing it up until college where he would rebrand his TikTok to include vlogging/friend group sketches.

As high school draws to its conclusion and the upcoming ball, Felix attends the event for the primary reason to impress and dance with Bork. He'd snatch the dog's hand, pulling him into himself as they danced around the floor. Walking home after the event tipsy, Bork would confess to Felix about his feelings for him whilst in bed with him with Felix feeling mutual about it.

Felix invites Bork with the idea of having their place for the University, an apartment they could stay in. In October 2023, Felix, with Bork, enters Normann University as a sports science student, where he catches up again with two of his old teammates, Luke and Kaleb.
