Multimanager platform personalities

Citadel - captain of the football team and student body president. Nearly ruined his life getting his girlfriend pregnant but emerged from the ashes and now always wears protection

Millennium - nerdy Asian with 4.0 GPA. Consistently does well in everything he puts his mind to, but is pretty quiet in school. Will go to MIT

Point72 - Kid who gets good grades because he always asked to copy your homework. You liked the guy so you let him do it.

Balyasny - Kid who really wants to be a part of the popular crowd but never quite makes it in. People think he's kind of fake

Verition - Haven't seen him for a while because it turns out he went to rehab, but now came back and is a straight A student

Bluecrest - Was smart but then started slacking at school and eventually dropped out. Last you heard he started some company and is filthy rich

Exodus - Parents are super rich and always send him to the best tutoring. Still gets bad grades

Accurate? Not? Any others?
