Greer McGregor

|Greer |M| 3.0|

Name: Greer Allister McGregor
Birthdate and Age: June 13th (18)
Physical Appearance: ^{Skinny, perhaps a little too skinny. Greer is ... alternative to say the least. Certainly a goth, Greer only wears black and perhaps a combination of some other colour, but mostly, just black. He's ... feminine to say the least. Biologically male (and well aware of it), Greer gets on better with the girls, mainly because he can be just as bitchy as them, and he freaks out the guys ... When people ask about his gender-identity, he generally adopts the stance "I don't give a fuck about my gender, why? Does it bother you?".
Rarely seen without perfectly applied black lipstick and sharp-eyeliner-flicks, he's the Queen of Lookin'-Mean. Beneath the make-up though, he's actually quite handsome (in a guy way too!)
Greer is tall, but wears tall boots anyway because they look good. Without contacts, Greer has stormy grey eyes and wears thick black glasses, usually though he has clear contact lenses in since his glasses aren't stylish enough for his tastes.}
Personality: Sassy, independent, scathing, dark. Greer is your stereotypical tormented goth but with a killer sense of humour. Rather than adopting the "oppressed victim" stance some goths take, Greer is well aware he's alternative and it freaks some people out, instead of complaining about it, he takes it in his stride. He tries to maintain a dark, distant aura, but underneath he's quite sensitive and caring, he might have to kill you if you tell anyone though. Arrogant, he's clever and knows it.
Biography: Younger of two siblings, Greer is a first generation American immigrant from Scotland. He's close to his older sister, and despite his rebellious look and crossdressing habits, his parents are very supportive and the family is quite close. He's never been particularly deprived. Growing up in a small conservative town, Greer has had some ... unfavourable run-ins and has had to be a little tough. Don't ask if he's ever been in a fist tight.

Uzumati/Mati || Male || 3.3

Name
Uzumati Ahanu Degotoga

Birthdate and Age
June, 4th, 1997
Nineteen Years Old

Physical Appearance
Mati has been described as a living mountain, and that is not that far off from the truth. Standing at a staggering 6'6" and weighting a whopping 235 pounds Mati is a real giant. He has a incredibly burly body build that many find intimidating, and makes fitting into small spaces hard for Mati. His skin is a light caramel color and is decorated with tattoos going from his left pectoral down his left arm. He has oak brown hair that is paired with light brown eyes. He has a wide nose that goes with his rather full lips. His eyebrows are rather thick and bushy. He also has a small heart shaped birthmark on a rather intimate part of his body... _{don't get too excited, it's just on his backside.}

His clothes are rather simple. Consisting of a old brown hooded denim jacket over a series of T-shirts, jeans and boots. The only time he wears something else is when he is in his team uniform. He always wears a small wooden rosary around his neck at all times, a gift from his dad.

Personality
A big man with a bigger heart, Mati is the stereotypical gentle giant, or teddy bear as a lot of people have taken to calling him. He is a real bleeding heart, often finding himself going out his way to help others even when they don't really deserve it. Mati is a rather spiritual guy, finding a lot of comfort in both nature and religion.

Despite what a lot of people think Mati isn't naïve, he is in fact a pretty smart guy, and is able to see through most of the bullshit some people try to feed him. It takes a lot to actually set Mati off and even when he is triggered he's most likely to walk off and try to find a way to cool off.

He takes his studies pretty seriously, he sees how much of an opportunity that he has been given to come here and will do everything in his power to make sure he uses it. So when the rest of the team goes out and parties Mati I usually back in the library getting ahead of any classwork he has.

Mati has a real appreciation for hard work, feeling that it is the only way to really understand and value what you want. He finds people who don't earn their way in the world don't really know what it really means to live in the real world.

When it comes to romance Mati is kind of a rock, he just doesn't get it. It isn't like he becomes a stammering mess when someone of the opposite sex shows interest in him, it is just that he can never tell when someone is expressing interest in him. You are gonna have to practically smack him in the face with your affection if you want him to notice.

Biography
"Where to start uhhh... oh I guess with my parents. Dad is pretty simple, he was a medic in the army and got moved around a lot, but besides from that he is a pretty upstanding guy. He eventually got stationed at FT. Lewis up in Washington, that's where he met mom. Mom was a uhhh... 'free spirit' so to speak. One of those real go with the flow and do whoever uh I mean do whatever they want type of person. They had a fling and I guess I was the result. Yeah dad tried his best to stick around, but you know duty calls and he had to move off. Mom on the other hand... she said she couldn't be tied down, even to her kid. So she handed me off to her mother, my grandma, and went off somewhere to find herself and to paint with the colors of the wind.

I grew up on the reservation with my grandma. Tough one she is, did her best to raise me and make sure that I had my head on straight so I wouldn't end up like... well point is she is a great woman. Things were pretty cool growing up, great family and friends, bunch of things to kill time, amazing woods to play in, hell dad even managed to make it back from time to time to visit me.

Probably one of my favorite things when I was growing up was rugby, the game was my life. I would play it from sun up to sun down some days, even joined the school team. I never really thought much of it, well that was until a scout saw one of my games and offered me a scholarship to Blackwell Academy, catch was I had to join the school's football team. Football isn't really my sport, but there was no way I could turn down Blackwell! So with some convincing my grandma let me attend Blackwell. I promised her I would come here and make something of myself and there is nothing on this earth that will keep me from keeping that promise.

Dorm Room
105
There are three aspects of Mati's life right now; school, the football team, and his tribe, or as he says his mind, his body, and his spirit. They are pretty well reflected in his dorm too. He has a whole wall dedicated to photos of his friends and family back home as well as a few trinkets that his grandma and a few of the other tribe elders gave him before he left. His desk is flooded with textbooks, notebooks, and his laptop nestled in the center. His closet is filled with the brim of sports equipment; his uniform, pads, balls, helmets, and even a few lacrosse sticks. Aside from his bed Mati has a futon and a bean bag chair in his room to serve as furniture.

Powers
Protective Aura Generation
Mati is able to generate a protective field around himself and others. He cannot hold these fields for too long, the current limit being thirty seconds, likewise the larger the field the shorter amount of time he can keep it up.

[Saarebas]

@McHaggis Sure thing boss =) but uh it might be awhile, I'm not so good with finding human faces.

@McHaggis EDIT: Uh actually given my rather suckish ability to find real faces and the pretty unrealistic appearance I gave Mati would it be all the same if I went pictureless if a drawn one is a no go? I feel like it would be easier than me spending a few hours looking up giant mixed race men, that and I won't have to clear my search history afterwards.

[MissCapnCrunch]

@Saarebas

I can help look :) If you'd like.

[Saarebas]

@MissCapnCrunch That would be great, but I'd hate to impose like that.

[Spud]

@Spud Accepterino!

@McHaggis

This pleases the potato.

*strokes beard*

Hey?! When did that get here?!

[MissCapnCrunch]

@Saarebas

It's NEVER imposing.
Let me know if you like this guy's look and then I'll link you to their album.

[Saarebas]

@MissCapnCrunch Thanks a ton Cap =) But I think I'll just go pictureless, I always feel kind of weird using real life pictures for my character.

[MissCapnCrunch]

@Saarebas

Understandable C:
Well, if anyone bugs ya for a real life photo- you can use that guys.
I personally loved your guys look from the digital portraits. He's just my type haha.

[Saarebas]

@MissCapnCrunch Well thanks again Cap, super awesome for you to help me out like that =) Oh and Mati says thanks for the complement XD Evelyn seems super cool too, you know what they say? "Thick thighs saves lives." and all that.

@McHaggis So yeah boss if it is all the same I'll just take down Mati's pictures and stick with a straight description of him if that is cool with you =)

EDIT: Pictureless version to be viewed for your approval

Bonus info

_{Oh and just because I wanted to let everyone now Mati is half African American and half Native American}

[Punished GN]

@Saarebas What is your character's ethnicity? I'm at a bit of a loss here, my guess is that he's Polynesian?

[Ermine]

@Mr Allen J

@Saarebas

[Spud]

@Saarebas What is your character's ethnicity? I'm at a bit of a loss here, my guess is that he's Polynesian?

@Mr Allen J

It says Native American but I thought Maori because the bonus sketch with the grandma had a mokō which are sacred Maori tattoos not Native American :S (but they're gone now okay)

[Saarebas]

Oh fun, I spurred conversation =) Well Mati is mixed race, African American and Native American, but I do believe that the artist that I got my pictures from intended the character to be a form of Polynesian. But like @Spud it doesn't really matter as the pictures are a no go.

[Angel Eyes]

Awww this is a cute concept. I'll see if I can put together anything!

[ineffable]

@Spud
We're assigning the dorm numbers actually but lemme check if room 107 is free and I guess you can have that?

[ineffable]

@Angel Eyes
Sounds nice!
