Poll: Who Are Your Favorite Side Guys?
Added 2025-01-12 21:43:27 +0000 UTCLast month I asked who are your favorite main characters in Freshmen: Physical Education, and now I'm curious about which side characters you are most interested in. (If you missed the first poll or want to change your selections, you can find it here.)
I have pictures of everyone below so you can remember who is who, and I'll also link to their tags so you can find any Patreon content I posted for them (subject to your patron level).
Based on what you've seen so far, who do you want to see pop up more in the story (even if just for the drama), get in-game hookup scenes, appear here on Patreon, or just strip down as much as I can wherever I can? Pick as many guys as you like!
Antonio | Bastien | Blaze | Corvin
Antonio, Alex's bodyguard
Bastien, Isaiah's dance teacher
Blaze, your herbal enthusiast dormmate
Corvin, your daddy-loving classmate
David | Forte | Gabriel | Hugh
David, Isaiah's rival
Forte, Alex's manager
Gabriel, David's quiet friend
Hugh, a frat boy destined for stardom
Jordi | Kaleb | Kash | Lachlan
Jordi, your excitable dormmate
Kaleb, a student Will is mentoring
Kash, a comedic frat boy
Lachlan, a bartender at A54
Parker | Quinn | Rodney | Trevor
Parker, a frat boy with a big... personality
Quinn, your daydreaming dormmate
Rodney, a friend of the Skinema guys
Trevor, NC17's troublemaking twin
Uriel | Wes | Xavier | Zeno
Uriel, a method-acting frat boy
Wes, your taciturn dormmate
Xavier, your snobby dormmate
Zeno, your psychology professor
These last five guys are nameless in the game, and two are only seen in the background, but they've made some fun appearances here on Patreon.
Billy | Buff Guy | Burly Guy | Oliver | Roman
Billy is a photographer. He can be seen in the scrolling CG when you enter the club in the evening.
Buff Guy & Burly Guy are part of the actor frat. During the party they made sure the freshmen—namely Evan—didn't get too out of hand.
Oliver is a go-go boy at A54. He can be seen in the same scrolling CG as Billy, as well as in a few background images.
Roman works as a bouncer at A54, as well as at the private club Alex can invite you to.
If you have any comments about any of the guys, leave them below! I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Jordi and Wes are probably my favourites, but I also have to shout out Xavier for the drama he causes 😈

2025-01-24 11:27:48 +0000 UTCI feel like those with 75 votes are more are probably future Grind'm poll winners & will be ones to watch out for. Though as screen time gets more divested hopefully those with less votes can go up. Also, new contenders will definitely shake the table (I'm rooting for a character that's been previewed but not in the game yet...)

2025-01-21 04:46:02 +0000 UTCBlaze is literally the finest man on here 😍😍😍 I DEFINITELY want to see more of hi because I’m so invested and obsessed 🥰🥰

2025-01-20 19:54:22 +0000 UTCWell, Billy appeared in one CG in the game, and it's totally possible to miss him if you enter the club from the front and click through the dialogue quickly. I think most people didn't notice him, haha. He's on his third haircut now, too. I think this one works better than the first two, which helps his appeal for sure!

2025-01-19 22:28:27 +0000 UTCThis is an interesting one to see the results of for me. My favorites are Wes, Blaze, Antonio, and Parker from the list of characters here that we've gotten to know a bit more. Very intrigued by Kaleb right now, though. Also, I never noticed Billy but he's hot. Omg.
Aiden Woodstein
2025-01-19 04:46:42 +0000 UTCSo Duke originally had Corvin's role, but I decided I didn't like how his model looked after being rendered. I'll probably make some edits to him and see how I feel after. But yeah, I think doing polls as the game progresses will have some interesting results.
Danny Nym
2025-01-17 22:16:47 +0000 UTCI'm voting Antonio, but Parker is a close second :)
SSalvador9
2025-01-17 18:38:48 +0000 UTCAlso, just realized Duke is not on here. Hopefully he can make the next poll lol. Might be fun to do polls like these after each in-game week. Would be cool to see if characters popularity goes up or down based off of how their storylines progress.

2025-01-17 14:09:36 +0000 UTCThis is such a HUGE side point, but I love Billy the photographer's new haircut! x
JT
2025-01-16 23:08:33 +0000 UTCHonestly, I want to say I'm surprised Oliver has polled so high since he has zero dialogue, but then again, he is a go-go boy with a great design wearing practically nothing. Nonetheless, I am happy for him, lol.
Jeffrey C
2025-01-15 05:10:46 +0000 UTCThat’s wild!! lol I hope a sequel happens cause this is the best adult vn I’ve ever played….plus I really want forte to be a lead 😅🥹 that man is just…..🤤
Alex
2025-01-14 19:29:03 +0000 UTCUriel: he’s literally a method actor, so I feel like some jokes can be made around that. I feel like him, Parker and Xavier can be lumped into the “stereotypical art school students” group Trevor: he’s hot, and i feel like he causes drama, but he could also have room to grow as a person. The way he was clocking Connor in the asher route got me thinking “ok he’s got some dimension” and im looking forward to his grindm update. Bastien, Kash, Lachlan, Rodney, Oliver, Roman, Corvin, Billy, Kaleb, Quinn: good looking, no real opinion of them. fine with just being eye candy for now

2025-01-13 21:32:47 +0000 UTCMan, Wes even got into the top three momentarily. The poll has already delivered! Honestly there are only few characters that are totally expendable(moody Xavier, perhaps?) No female side characters ;-) ?
Briannon-Faie
2025-01-13 14:49:05 +0000 UTCSo funny enough, the classmate character that eventually turned into Evan was someone I idly considered to lead a sequel. But then Evan became his own thing. Obviously if a sequel ever happens it wouldn't be until far away in the future, but I do have some other ideas for who from the supporting cast could become a lead of their own story.
Danny Nym
2025-01-13 12:39:50 +0000 UTCI'm happy to see the Wes love—he's currently in third place. Of all the side characters, he's the one I have the most backstory for, so I have a soft spot for him.
Danny Nym
2025-01-13 12:34:54 +0000 UTCI definitely needed some antagonistic characters. I realized the same thing early on, that everyone was seemingly too well adjusted. David has room to grow for sure. I've seen some people suggest that happen via an Isaiah romance, but that absolutely won't occur. Doesn't mean it can't still involve a hookup scenario... or they can just talk it out, haha. We'll see.
Danny Nym
2025-01-13 12:30:40 +0000 UTCIt does look like the lead from Heartless Corporation uses one of the models I used as a base for Kaleb. The figure has a pretty distinctive head design, particularly the brows & eyes. I blended the figure with another character, and I used different textures, of course. (The model is TMA Kyle for Genesis 9 if anyone wants to make their own Kaleb/Liam, haha)
Danny Nym
2025-01-13 12:25:22 +0000 UTCDrama/Development/Arcs: David and Gabriel. Gabriel was interesting to me, because he’s a sidekick to David, but I could see him having a redemption arc and siding with 21CA if we pick the Isaiah route, and maybe Isaiah pairing up with him if Connor doesn’t pick that route. Xavier: id like to see him loosen up. Maybe from having really good sex? Hugh: could be interesting to see a twist where he loses a big role to Matt or something and that causes drama. Forte: i get the feeling he’ll be trouble in the Alex route. Jordi & Wes: love them! No comments Parker: he’s got plenty of personality and penis, so seeing him around wont be a bad thing
DC Burns
2025-01-13 10:01:07 +0000 UTCFor comic relief/comedic: Burly Guy and Buff Guy could work as humorous characters, with something always managing to block out their names. Maybe another funny idea is they also don’t know Connor’s name, so theres this running gag of “I don’t remember your name but I’m going to pretend I do” between the three of them. Blaze is another character I could see as funny, getting involved in random shenanigans where it’s like “Blaze, what are you doing here?” Or him just having a random side quest of his own that he mentions in passing and/or is just happening in the background of Connor’s story.
DC Burns
2025-01-13 09:25:39 +0000 UTCI feel like there’s 3 categories of side character guy for me: comedic, eye candy, and character arcs. So far I’m partial to the ones that have been around longer, just because I’ve had more time to form an opinion on them.

2025-01-13 09:24:45 +0000 UTCI wanna be in a Bastien and Antonio sandwich 🤤

Loaf of bread
2025-01-12 23:36:49 +0000 UTCI seem to be vastly in the minority in this, but I'm really intrigued by David. I feel like most other characters are very much positively portrayed, so I'm interested in someone that has more negative tendencies. Not that I necessarily want something toxic, but I like a character that seems like a bad dude but has the capacity to grow. I feel like most other characters in the game are fairly well-adjusted and Connor has more to learn from them then they do from him. David I feel has a lot to learn from Connor (and others for sure), so I'm really interested in more content involving him. Other than that, my fav side guys are probably Jordi, Bastien, Corvin, Buff & Burly (kinda using them interchangeably), and Antonio.

2025-01-12 23:34:30 +0000 UTCQuinn for a Grind’m hookup for sure
Loaf of bread
2025-01-12 23:32:08 +0000 UTCUriel -> i find him really entertaining. i wasn't sure how i felt about him physically until i saw him without the vampire makeup and i appreciated how handsome he was. Wes -> one of my favorites. i loved his back and forth with Xavier in the showers and I love his friendship with Jordi. Xavier -> at first i hated Xavier with a passion. with each update he just steals every scene he's in. he's so bitchy but also sophisticated it's an art and i always look forward to him at this point. Zeno -> haven't met yet in game (besides background CG) so going off his model he is extremely handsome. i love how slutty he wears his shirt. Billy -> please give him more screen time. i beg. i think he will soar in grind'm polls once more people know he actually exists. he easily has a top 5 model in the game for me. Buff & Burly Guy -> i loved how sweet they were looking after Evan at the frat party. though I hope we do learn their names eventually the gag of the helicopter was pretty good. Oliver -> i love his model, his hair and his face. hope we get some dialogue from him in the future. Roman -> he is the full package and i need the other patrons to see my vision some day. he is such a stud and is extremely visually appealing. cannot wait to see more of him in the future.
Jeffrey C
2025-01-12 22:32:56 +0000 UTCJordi - easily best boy of the side characters. i really wish he was a main love interest because he has so much potential. but at least here he is a big fish in a small pond. Kaleb -> no strong opinions as I don't think we've seen much of him. Though whenever I see him I also think of the MC from Heartless Corporation because I'm pretty sure they share the same 3D model. Kash -> not a favorite of mine because of a remark he made to Julian though I'm open to my opinion changing in the future. if he is a full villain on the route I'll like him more but if he just makes rude remarks than probably not going to be my fav. Lachlan -> i love everything about Lachlan. i personally find his model really attractive and hopes he does better in future polls. Parker -> he's truly huge in many areas and I find him to be one of the more entertaining side characters as he has a lot of charisma. Quinn -> i do not dislike Quinn but I am fascinated by all of the Quinn love as I don't share that vision yet. Though how he was looking like a snack in the showers started opening my eyes so maybe I'll be on the Quinn train soon. Rodney -> no strong opinion as he doesn't have much dialogue yet. he is not my personal taste but I do like that he has a different body type then the other characters. Trevor -> i love the chaos he causes on Asher route and he is one of the hottest guys in the game in general. i love his interactions with Connor if you go solo at the club as well...
Jeffrey C
2025-01-12 22:26:58 +0000 UTCLengthy opinion post (writing the rest in the replies so I don't flood the thread): Antonio -> is amazing. love his design & love the moment with him & Connor if Connor gets blackout drunk. Bastien -> really handsome, and I hope we get to see more of him. Blaze -> i like his design but I hope we see more of his personality outside of his love of herbs. Write now Blaze is a bit blase for me. Corvin -> i think he's good potential drama for Connor if they compete for the professors. David -> i love drama so I was drawn to David. Cannot wait to see more of him. Forte -> he has one of the most unique designs and I think he stands out a lot in a good way. Gabriel -> i lost interest for him after his hair was changed. while i do think he stands out more something about the hair texture doesn't do it for me. Hugh -> one of my personal favorites. though i think I'm bias because i love the teen drama hearthrobs from childhood.

2025-01-12 22:19:52 +0000 UTCQuinn is really underrated, I want to see more of him!

Ez
2025-01-12 22:00:30 +0000 UTCForte #1, burly guy, Roman, and Antonio <3 maybe the guys with the most votes or likes can be considered to be main options for a sequel 🫣
