I definitely like some of your ideas. Especially an even farther customizable best friend. Even thought it’s a tiny thing, I would also really like it if at character creation you could choose to start with and actually need glasses. Could even lead to maybe some fun situations like a tripping and losing your glasses and need ing help. Like the getting locked in the locker or laundry machine,
also yes I would really love it if your character had the choice to fight / beat up bullies if they have a high physical and your protecting somebody or yourself.
