About occupants
1) Hi, I'm Ollie (He/They) and am 20 years old. In March, I will be beginning a Bachelor of International Studies (Languages). Outside of university, you can find me at dance or skateboarding. As well as, drawing (we're all artists in this household), watching YouTube and napping (a lot). I'm an Ambivert, as I love socialising as much as I love having alone time, with that, my lifestyle can be described as an organised mess in a good way.

2) Hey, I'm Liana (They/Them), 24 y.o. and an ambivert. When I’m not at work, I enjoy going to new places, just resting at home, or generally keeping busy. I’m a quiet and easygoing housemate and keen to meet a new person to join us!

3) Hey hey! I'm Atlas (He/Him/His/They), 19 y/o. I am currently not studying but working at a semi local GyG. I am an ambivert, bordering extrovert. When I'm in the mood I'm super talkative. I do enjoy going out and about, exploring melbourne! If I'm at home I am often crafting for my small business, gaming, napping, watching something or cooking up a mess in the kitchen (usually soup). I am also a cosplayer and a big theatre nerd so i attend conventions regularly and theatre shows when I can. I have a partner who stays over every now and then (with warning!) Also a heads up, I am autistic, queer and physically disabled.

4) Hi, I’m Lark (He/Him), I’m 20 years old and I’m a uni student studying a bachelor in animation over at Swinburne. I’m usually quite awkward at first but once I get over the awkwardness I'm pretty chatty, so an ambivert. My hobbies include, drawing, sewing, reading, watching youtube and collecting trinkets. Outside of that I'm usually sleeping and napping.
Compatible people
We are a calm, accepting and fairly easygoing household. We spend a fair bit of time together but also to ourselves. Respect, boundaries and communication are a key part of this household.

On that topic, we have specific house chores that rotate each week, it is expected you keep on top of them, a few misses here and there are fine, but not constant. Our rooms are our own space, so the only expectation is for the room to be clean and hygienic when inspection times occur.

Along with asking if friends can stay over with a minimum of 3 days' notice, but we prefer 1 week's notice, as we are not a party house (Birthdays are accepted). If you have a partner, they can come over with less notice but notice is still required.

Specific things we are looking for:
-Someone who can cover themselves financially, via Centrelink, job, savings, etc.
-Someone who is calm, accepting and fairly easygoing.
-Someone who is either Lgbtq+ or an ally to the Lgbtq+ community.
Description of pets
Atlas has a very fat cat named gingey. He is an orange ginger cat (duh 😂), he is quite elderly ringing in 14 and a half years around the sun. He is usually very friendly and loves a head scratch but he is slowly losing his sight and hearing so we try not to jump scare him. He has access to the kitchen, Atlas, and Liana's room, (No longer Ollie's due to a recently developed allergy to cats). He will have access to the room advertised but can change and put things in place, if you'd prefer little to no access.
