He has a single piercing in his right ear, in which he regularly wears, ironically, a half red and half green stud earring. He generally tries to keep with the latest trends, spending a good portion of his dishwashing money on various designer clothing. Throughout all the fashion changes, he keeps one piece of clothing that he enjoys wearing: a ragged brown leather jacket that he's owned for a few years. He keeps his hair styled the same for the most part, and he is not ashamed to pride himself on it, only changing it when the latest trends dictate as such. He has one small tattoo on his left shoulder: a fried egg, captioned with the irresistible pun: "Eggscelent."[/indent] [center][h1][color=lime][u]M Y Q U I R K S[/u][/color][/h1][/center] [color=lime][b][u]Habits | Quirks | Oddities[/u][/b][/color] [indent]•Snaps his fingers along to music in his head •Mentally compares people to different foods when he first meets them •Constantly jokes about certain colors that he can't tell apart •Bites his fingernails •Never wears a hat[/indent] [color=lime][b][u]Hobbies:[/u][/b][/color] [indent]•Cooking •Singing (not very well, but he doesn't care) •Online Shopping[/indent] [color=lime][b][u]Likes:[/u][/b][/color] [indent]•Italian Food •Board Games •Parties (who doesn't?) •Dystopian Fiction •Snow[/indent] [color=lime][b][u]Dislikes:[/u][/b][/color] [indent]•Dancing •Black Licorice •Mobile Games •Thunderstorms •Dogs[/indent] [color=lime][b][u]Fears:[/u][/b][/color] [indent]•Rejection •Public Humiliation •Snakes[/indent] [color=lime][b][u]Personality:[/u][/b][/color] [center][u]♦ Optimistic ♦ Clingy ♦ Comedic ♦ Submissive ♦[/u][/center] [indent]Gary has always been someone who looks ahead to the future and sees success and happiness, regardless of how dire his current situation is. Anyone who meets him will instantly be hit with his bright personality and accepting behavior. Knowing what it is like to be on the outside, he will take the effort to befriend anyone who feels left out, for the most part. He has a sense of humor that makes him easily approachable, although some tend to see him as naïve because of this. Becoming friends with him is relatively easy, and he will consider everyone who he meets to be a friend of his. He is also very trusting of those he considers friends, burdening himself to them even when it might not be particularly welcome. In the same way, he welcomes anyone who comes to him for emotional support, never wanting anyone to feel like they have no one to turn to. However, Gary would think of himself like a cup of black coffee; some enjoy the flavor, but if they don't like it, they hate it. Once Gary becomes friends with anyone, he will take plenty of effort to hang out and talk to them whenever possible. He constantly worries that if he doesn't spend enough time with them, then they won't want to be friends with him anymore, although this mindset causes most to see him as clingy and separate themselves from him for the opposite reason. Along with this mindset, he has made the effort to not let the negativity of others affect his thoughts about them. At least, that's how he sees it. In reality, months of being pushed aside and ridiculed by A-Listers like the Royals has made him extremely submissive, not willing to defend himself against the attacks of those above him socially. On the rare occasion that others try to defend him, he often thanks them before saying that "it's fine," or "they're just joking around." Indeed, he's even managed to convince himself of this.[/indent][hr] [center][h1][color=lime][u]D E F I N I N G M Y P A S T[/u][/color][/h1][/center] [color=lime][b][u]History:[/u][/b][/color] [indent]Gary was born and raised in the Beverly Hills area to a rather wealthy family, as most in the area were. His father was a famous neurosurgeon and his mother was a former fashion model, so expectations in the family were definitely high for Gary to become a lawyer or a doctor or something of similar success. The cards were never really stacked in his favor from the beginning, as he began to struggle even in kindergarten. He was never the brightest kid in his class, but this early struggle was caused by something very different. When he was 6, it was discovered that he had red-green color blindness, and though his parents tried to help him adapt, he found that the best way to cope with it was to joke it off, giving him a reputation throughout his school career as a class clown. A turning point in his life was on his tenth birthday, when his parents threw an extravagant party. They both invited as many successful friends as possible, encouraging him to ask about their careers, hoping to inspire him to take to one of their job choices. However, to their surprise, he spent almost the entire party chatting with the hired catering service. By the end of the night, he was convinced that he wanted to become a professional chef and own his own restaurant. His parents shrugged it off as a childish dream, but it was one that he has carried on to the present day, a choice that his parents are not supporters of. Indeed, over the summer, he started working as a dishwasher at a local Olive Garden, as it was the closest that he could get to working in the kitchen at his age. Almost as soon as he entered the 8th grade, another wedge was driven between Gary and his parents once he came out as homosexual. He personally felt like it was something he had always known, but his parents were convinced that it was an "adolescent phase" of his and refused to speak to him any more on the matter. The issue remained unresolved until he brought home his first boyfriend three months later. At this point, they accepted his decision, but they truly never looked at him the same way afterwards. Sending him to Beverly Hills High School was their personal decision, as they hoped hat the prestigious school would help him to get his life in order. To be honest, Gary's freshman year was the most frightening time of his life. He was generally outcast from most of his classmates, and a group of seniors took to ridiculing him because of this. They were cruel and ruthless, taking every opportunity to push him down. At some points, he considered asking to exchange to a different school, but he knew that his parents wouldn't allow it and would think him to be even more hapless than he already was. Eventually, he found himself clinging to the Royals, as even being associated with them was enough to keep the bullies away. From this point on, he was convinced that he would find a way to join their ranks, no matter what it took.[/indent][.hr][center][h1][color=lime][u]M I S C .[/u][/color][/h1][/center] [color=lime][b][u]Extracurricular Activities:[/u][/b][/color] [indent]None[/indent] [color=lime][b][u]Extra:[/u][/b][/color] [indent]Disturbed's cover of "The Sound of Silence" is pretty good.
