Mental Information
Personality: I'm a big liar. I'm aware that I lie a lot. From here on out, you'll have to trust me. I'm a pretty smart guy. Maybe the lying isn't a smart thing to do, but I'm intelligent. Not genius, but smart enough to have a decent conversation and get passing grades. I'm also artistic. I love listening to music. I don't play an instrument, but I would like to play guitar one day, and I know a lot about my favorite bands. I listen to a lot of classic rock, but I'll sometimes listen to more modern stuff. Writing is one of my passions. Don't hate, but I write a lot of poetry and song lyrics. Anyway, it all just means that I'm pretty creative when I want to be. I'm a hopeless romantic. At the same time, I'm not a big flirt. I can get into a girl fast, but I won't show it right away, unless it's obvious that she likes me back. I guess that makes me a little insecure. I admit that I don't always have confidence. Maybe that's why I lie so much.
Likes: Poetry, music, girls, movies, sleep
Dislikes: My feet, courts, divorce, department stores, acne
Mentality/Ideal/Belief: I believe in a higher power and an afterlife, but I don't really follow an organized religion. I guess you can call me a confused Christian. All I really want is to be happy with the one I love, to feel safe with her. Sometimes it feels like I'm chained, and I don't know to what. I want to break free.
Physical Information
Build: Lean and slightly toned
Defining Marks: I used to have bad acne, but I've got prescribed stuff to take care of that now. I got a couple of scars, mostly on my back, but they're fading.
Description: Like I said, I used to have some acne, but that's clearing up. I'm part Filipino and part Irish, but the Filipino part shows up more on me. I have dark hair and olive brown skin. I'm kind of tall and skinny, but lately I've been working out and trying to bulk up a little, so maybe it shows. I'm not super buff, though. My clothes are usually somewhere between casual and fancy. You can thank my girl for my nicer clothes, since she's the one who makes them a lot. I wear button down shirts, fitted tees, zipper hoodies, and sports coats, depending on the occasion, but all of these I almost always wear with dark jeans. My jeans are not too tight, but not too loose. I'll wear either dress shoes or skater shoes, but I never wear sandals or anything that'll shoe my ugly toes. My toes are a little hairy and the nails aren't always clean, so I just prefer to wear shoes that don't show it. I'm always wearing socks, even to bed. I'll sometimes wear a hat, like a beanie or a baseball cap.
Fighting Information
Fighting Style: Freestyle wrestling
Years Practiced: Ever since my little brothers were big enough to tick me off- about seven years
Description of style: Most people know what wrestling is. I'll describe it anyway. It's a kind of martial arts that mostly focuses on grappling. When people wrestle, they are striving to get control over each other. The moves that wrestlers use include clinches, holds, grabs, locks, and takedowns. Freestyle wrestling allows wrestlers to use their legs if they want to in order to pin them down or for defense purposes. The main goal in freestyle wrestling is to pin down the opponent onto the mat. When you do that, it's an automatic win. There's a similar form called submission wrestling, where you use whatever moves you can to get the person to submit. This might seem pretty obvious, since it's called submission wrestling. But in this kind, you don't automatically win just because your opposition is on the ground. I use a mixture of both with my brothers, but when I'm wrestling with a friend or somebody for real, we usually go by freestyle rules. Freestyle wrestling is the kind that you will see in the Olympics. Points are awarded based on what each wrestler did, like for takedowns, exposures, reversals, and out of bounds.
Overall Strengths: Knowing how to wrestle well can be really helpful in a fight. Wrestlers know the right moves to take somebody down, like how to wrap their arms around a person's underarms and neck. A lot of fights will end up on the floor with grappling, anyway, so knowing how to wrestle gives me an advantage. Wrestlers use cinching, locking, holding, and leverage in order to win, meaning you don't have to rely on a punch or a kick in a fight. This doesn't require a lot of aim. If you wrestle really well, you can be performing offense and defense at the same time. You can be causing pain to your opponent, bringing yourself closer to the win, and at the same time preventing yourself from being hurt by any of his attacks because he is stuck in your grasp.
Overall Weaknesses: Wrestling is only good in certain settings. You probably don't want to wrestle in dirty areas or uncomfortable areas, so you can't wrestle well if you're on rocky terrain. Wrestling requires being on the ground a lot, so if the ground is not good, you're at a disadvantage. Also, wrestling uses a lot of close contact, so you need to be within a certain distance to use your moves on your opponent. If your opponent is just kicking you and punching you and not coming near enough for you to grab him, your wrestling technique isn't very useful. In fact, wrestling is usually only useful if both people decide to wrestle. If one person is wrestling and the other is using karate, the fight doesn't work out too well. Wrestling can't defend well against kicks, slaps, and punches.
History Information
History: My parents divorced when I was twelve, leaving their three sons in an awkward position. It's not too bad. About half of all marriages end in divorce. But I have to keep some of my stuff at one house and the rest at the other. Both are remarried now. They both got remarried within three years of the divorce. My step parents aren't too bad, and I get along pretty well with my step siblings. We argue sometimes, but that's expected.
I met Demetra about a year ago when I was jogging along the beach. We talked, though mostly she did a lot of the talking, and I asked her out. She was hot. She'd probably hate for me to admit that was what originally drew me to her. But she was also smart and passionate. Since I'm kind of shy, it was easier to let her do all the talking. Once I got to know her, though, I spoke up more. I fell in love pretty quick. I was too embarrassed to be physical with her because I've never hooked up with a girl before, so I told her that I was very Christian and I didn't want to go beyond kissing. I was still insecure and thought she might find somebody better, or that she wasn't as interested in me as I thought. I asked her to marry me, and she eventually agreed. I was still scared to have sex, so I told her I joined the military, which I knew would make her mad, but I played dumb. She still doesn't know that I lied to her about my age, and she won't see it coming when I attend this school. I was ditching all the time at my old one, so it wasn't too hard to let my parents transfer me to Moral Crest, since it's the closest one to my dad's house (my old one was the closest to my mom's).
This lying thing has been a problem all of my life. The right word for it is pseudologia fantastica. I'm a compulsive liar. I can look you right in the eye and make something up. I've been caught in my lies before, but nobody's realized that I have this pathological problem except me. I don't really know how to stop it. Words just come out of my mouth. I don't know who to tell, 'cause I'm afraid I'll just look like the bad guy. Nobody likes a liar.
