About Y.O.U.
What do you go by: Jesse
Age: 17
I'm bringing Allec here because I think it would be interesting to see how he would fit in, sinceh really doesn't. However, if someone wants Toby to come, I'll bring him too.
Character Basics:
Name: Allec Blackwood
Age: Fifteen
Sex: Male
Year Sophomore
School Attending:Pepperdine University
Day Student or Boarder? Boarder. The only time Allec returns home is for the holidays, which is something he does not look forward to as he had bad experiences with his family around holiday time. He also goes home during the summer.
Clique you want to be in: Scene//Loner
Famous/ well known/ wealthy? How?: Allec is wealthy. He was not born into wealth, far from it. The only reason he is able to afford the clothes on his back and the tuition at The Blair Academy is because of his step father. He is the wealthy and well known one as a heir to a chain of supermarkets.
What do you do in the summer?: To his own dismay, Allec returns every summer to his mother in Washington. It fills his head with the memories of the past. Allec does not have many friends back in Washington. He rarely attended school, claiming that he was "home schooled", so Allec really did not know anyone in Washington besides for one friend named Alex. However, Alex had a life outside of Allec so he did not spend all of his time with him. Instead, Allec spent most of his summer either on the computer or at the mall watching people.
Appearance:
Avatar:
Height: 5'8"
Hair Color: Brown
Eye Color: Blue-Green
Build: Skinny, almost girl-like.
Clothing Style: Because of how skinny Allec is, not because he does not eat, it is very hard to find something that actually fits him correctly without it looking like a sack. That is one of the real reasons why he wears girls jeans. Not because it was the newest fad, but because they actually fit him. The label on the shirt does not really matter to him, as long as he likes it and it fits his thin frame, he will wear it.
Other: None.
Possessions: His Star Wars edition Alienware desktop and his Apple Ipod.
Personality: To be frank, Allec has no self-confidence. Because he does not, he has a lot of defense mechanisms. The big one being that he tends to make fun of people to the point of humiliation if they pick on him. He does not trust people that easily so he makes fun of them, usually their appearance, so that they would not like to be friends with him so that he can avoid getting hurt. Allec uses sarcasm. Most of the things he says are sarcastic so that the person he is talking to does not know if he is making fun of them or not.
Once you are in Allec's inner circle, everything changes. Because it takes a lot to get Allec to trust someone, not many people are in his trustworthy zone. If you are though, he is no longer sarcastic or mean. He is kind. He cares deeply for the people he loves and would literally do anything for them. Allec is known to push a drunk friend home in a shopping cart at three o'clock in the morning.
History: When Allec was a baby, and his brother brother was five, his parents, Joseph and Debbie, got into drugs. They eventually got hooked up on them, and started selling a lot of items from their house, to get the drugs. It was not a place for children. His mom would get violent sometimes and his dad was in and out of jail. His parents knew that they should stop taking drugs, but if they did, they'd have withdrawals and shake the whole building. One Christmas, his brother told my dad Santa is coming, and Allec's father almost cried, because he knew that his sons would get no presents. Christmas day. his brother, Scott, wakes up, runs into his dads room goes "wake up, wake up! its Christmas!". Scott goes to the tree that his father stole and he sees nothing. His dad starts saying sorry, and his brother goes into his room. For what it seems like forever to Allec, his older brother is in his room, wrapping things up in paper bags, all his favorite things, and gives a present to Allec. That was the turning moment in their father's life. He stopped doing drugs.
However, they were not as fortunate with their mother. One day, Joseph, his dad, went to the store, and he came back, found his brother screaming out of his lungs, right in the middle of the street. Allec's dad discovered his wife, in my Scott's room absolutely destroying everything, and Scott went out in the middle of the street to run away. Eventually, Joseph took Scott, Allec was too attached to his mother to leave, and they moved out.
Allec's mom moved the two to Washington, because family was there, including Allec's father. She stopped doing the drugs, maybe she did it off and on after that, but her and his dad got to be friends again. Than his dad went online, and found a girl. They met, started dating, and his dad moved to Kentucky with her. That was basically the end of Allec's relationship with his father. Joseph never called his youngest son and he never visited him. However, things were looking up for the two of them. His mom met a man. She started dating him and things were beginning to move really quickly. He was the heir to a big supermarket chain. He had more money than Allec's mother had ever had. He bought a house for the three of them in Washington. Unfortunately, Allec was not able to stay there. Not because he was fighting with his step-father, but because he was too far behind in school. He never had someone to make sure that he attended school. So, it was decided by the three of them for him to attend a prestigious school. The same one that his father's entire family attended.
Sample RP: Toby had awoken late. Well, late for him. His roommates were already out of the dorm. With his blanket around him to keep him warm, Toby scampered around the dorm for something to warm him up. That was the downside to dorming at the Blair Academy. Although it meant that you would always have someone to talk to or goof off with. However, there was never any food in the dorm because someone was always stealing it or no one bothered to get snacks. Everyone was used to living at home and not having to do any grocery shopping. Besides, if you wanted to bring someone home for a little "alone time", the dorm was not the best place to do that. There was always somebody in the dorm.
Starbucks was not that far away from Toby's dorm. However it was too cold to walk there. He would get hypothermia and then die. Now, who would want Toby to die? A cab was going to be his choice of travel. He did not have a car. His dad did not want him fruitfully spending his money on one.
In about five minutes, Toby was at the door to starbucks. Even though he was wearing a sweatshirt that was line with fur, he was still cold. He hurried into the starbucks that was pretty packed due to the weather. As Toby waited to place his order, he wondered why Starbucks had to be so complicated with their sizes. Why couldn't they just use small, medium and large?
With a steaming coffee in hand, Toby looked for a place to sit.
