Age: 21
Occupation: Technical Support Operator. Basically I'm the guy who you get connected to when you call your computer company about a problem with your system. Yeah I know...lame right? But you know what? It pays really nice and my mother always told me to help people however and whenever you could and I'm doing that. So go ahead and make fun of me, but I look at it like I'm just doing what my mother wanted for me to do.
Appearance: Well apparently I'm the nerdy guy. I don't think I look all that nerdy really. I mean sure, when I'm wearing my button up dress shirt, I never forget to stuff my pocket protector in the left breast pocket. Sure I've got a holster for my PDA, it goes right next to my pager and my cell phone, but I keep my graphing calculator on the other side of my hip. I've got thin wire frames and I've got the thicker ones that I throw on every once in a while. My hair's a little on the long side, kind of shaggy if I don't do anything special with it. But I actually pull it back into a ponytail and pin it all down with hairspray, Ultra Strong Hold. I prefer to be clean shaven but sometimes the things I'm working on take up too much of my time and yeah I forget to shave and get that insanely itchy "5 o'clock" shadow crap. Anyway...when I'm
not wearing my button up shirt I'll wear a simple black t-shirt, occassionally having one with a message on it, with an opened button-up shirt. Most of them have flames on them, by the way. I wear simple black jeans, but naturally when I'm wearing the dress shirt, it just looks best with dress pants as well. There you go. That's basically what I look like. Oh yeah I almost forgot! I'm just under 6 foot tall, I'm a bit on the chunky side, but I'm not gonna complain. I'm actually comfortable with my size. My hair's like a dark brown and my eyes are hazel. There we go. I think that's everything now.
Personality: My personality? Why is it that every form I fill out asks me about my personality? I'm maybe a little arrogant, but that's only because I'm good at what I do and I know it. You won't really find a better Technical Support Operator out there, and I'm just as good in mathematics as I am in the sciences. But yeah, well I guess I have a tendancy to ramble, maybe I like the sound of my own voice? Or maybe some people just don't have anything interesting to talk about, so I have to do all the talking myself. There I said it. Alright, alright, maybe I'm a little more arrogant that I first let on. I'm a loyal friend, to the few that I have at least. It's sad when a guy can count on one hand how many friends he's got. I
can be the life of the party too you know. No honestly I can! I swear it! I think....I'm really honestly the loser that doesn't really know he's a loser, but he knows everyone else thinks he is...I don't know, maybe I'll just kill myself an beat them all tot he punch.
Skills: Well as I said with the personality part, I'm the best darn Technical Support Operator out there and I'm good at math and science. I do some drawing, I don't think that I'm really that good, but some people think so apparently. I do a little bit of writing as well, nothing major, just a little poetry here or there and that's not really that good at all either. I've got minor OCD, basically it's just that I really need things to be in order that's all. Touch my things and I have a tendancy to freak out on you. I think that's the sum of my skills, lets recap. I can draw, I can write, I've got the math and science thing down, and I'm really helpful when it comes to technical support on your computer. Oh and I've got the super organizational powers. Thats me in a nut shell.
History: My history? Well it was plain enough...born in Pennsylvania, my old English teacher used to say Pennsyltucky, that's just cuz he was weird but it does sound better I say. But yeah, anyway, grew up basically in the middle of nowhere, though it wasn't quite the middle of nowhere. I was about 3 miles from Ricketts Glenn State Park, I could walk there. Not much really to see but hell, I could still go if I wanted to. I was my parent's middle child, got an older sister and a younger one. Can't stand either of them really, my older sister made some poor judgement choices, especially her husband...*cou
gh cough* and my little sister is just that, the typical pain in the ass little sister. I was always on the nerdy side, stupid ignorant jocks always made fun of me for it too, even though it was me they came to for help in their classes. *rolls eyes* I made good money in school by doing that. You'd be surprised how much those morons would pay to pass a test. But yeah they'd make fun of me just cuz of how I would dress and I still dress the same as I did then. If I could go back in time I think I'd try to go and erase them form existence, just to save myself the grief of growing up through all of that. But yeah...the smart guy always gets picked on, course it doesn't help when I have my own style too. But long story short I graduated at the top of my class and I could go into any college that I wanted. I picked Lousianna State to go to cuz it was basically the entire country away from those stupid wannabe hillbilly ignorant jocks. I got enrolled into most of the advanced placement classes at LS as a freshman, something that was just about unheard of there. I breezed by their Calculous classes, which was where I met Aleksandra, though she preferred to be called Chinchilla. Guess she didn't like her given name, I think it was truelly exotic and beautiful. She was pretty cool for someone who wanted to be called a rodent. *shrugs* To each their own. I introduced her to the others in our group, for whatever reason she liked us. It was cool. Speaking of the group, there's Kyle the daredevil, Olivia the actress, and Max....Oh now Max is something else! She's goth, though she tries not to fit the stereotyping of it, which I think is just awesome. She's got this killer weapons collection and all this paranormal research equipment. I'm not big on the paranormal like she is, but I have been known to study a few odds and ends of the field. We met in Psychology actually. We were assigned to be study partners. I know it's cliche, cuz if you look at all the movies, Band Camp is a big shower of this, but the nerdy guy always falls for the Goth chick anymore, it used to be all about the cheerleaders but eh, they're so overrated. Those Goth girls have brains and rocking bodies. What kind of self-respecting nerd wouldn't want that??? But yeah, I find her absolutely amazing and I've tried to tell her that...but as I've said I'm a bit of a coward. I did say that didn't I? Well if not, there you have it. Yeah, so I settle for those nice subtle shows of affection. You know, like taking her a cold beverage after watching her sword fight with Chilla, then again I take one for Chilla too so maybe I'm not exactly being that forward with it...I suppose I need to think up some better way of doing it. I was going to give her this really extravegant gift for Valentine's Day but that was before Shelly supposedly hung herself. I don't buy it for one second. That girl had everything you could ever dream of! And she was always so very nice to me, I really don't see why she would go and kill herself. Max says it wasn't her, that the ghost got her. I wasn't thinking a ghost was responsible for it, but I'm starting to believe her...strange stuff keeps happening...like I'll come home from work and my room will be a total mess! And I know that nobody is playin a joke on me cuz they all know how crazy that makes me...I said I had OCD yes? Finding my room a mess is a huge no no. It's never a mess. I can't even leave my room before making my bed on a daily basis....so yeah needless to say I'm starting to believe Max
