Roberto snapped out of his trance when he heard the voice of somebody he didn't know. "What's up, Roberto. I'm Lucas, in case you missed it." One of his new room-mates greeted. "How's the view?"

"Amazing," Roberto turned to him, smiling slightly, sipping at his glass of water. "Reminds me of home," he nodded. "Spain," he explained. He adjusted the collar of his t-shirt nervously before placing the now empty glass down on the bar surface and turning back to Lucas. "Nice to meet you," he smiled, putting out a hand, which Lucas could shake or ignore. "This is weird for me, I've never lived with others, really, other than my family. I look forward to it," he nodded slowly. "I am lucky, you all seem like good people."

For a moment, as Roberto stood in conversation with Lucas, his brain switched off and traveled to a different world. He remembered the night his father died. Suddenly he realised that if his father hadn't died, he wouldn't be standing there right now. His father, on his deathbed, had pleaded that Roberto give up his life of crime. Roberto could do nothing but accept, and had set his sights on living a legal, good life. He was doing that now, in good company, surrounded by friendly people in a beautiful appartment. Perhaps, he thought to himself, that the metaphorical door that closed when his father died had opened another, to a better life for Roberto.

Blinking, he realised that Lucas was still stood there. "Sorry," he sighed. "I just remembered something important, kind of zoned out. Anyway..." he scratched his neck. "What is it you do for fun around here?" He needed to get the stress of travel off of his back and settle in.

Got my app finished. Hope it's adequate. As I am doing it at 4 in the morning on a tablet, It's not exactly my best work.

Would it be fair to say that if my character tested a high IQ and speaks multiple languages, but doesn't apply himself and gets low grades, he would be a Commoner?

Name
Roman Zelenka


Just Under 6 foot, Brown eyes, Athletic build

Age
17

Grade
Senior

Social Class
Commoner

Social Class Explanation
Roman was a very intelligent child and, over the years, expressed a desire to learn, specifically languages. In his mid teens he could already speak five languages to a nearly fluent standard; Czech, German, English, Mandarin Chinese and Japanese (he learnt the first two from a young age and the others from travelling). Despite the fact he was sharp and smart, he never truly applied himself at school and went of the rails with his education. Due to this, he is considered a Commoner at Caelbury, but he has the potential to be a gifted student.

Personality
Roman is quite a calm and observant guy. He tends to let other people do the talking, as he doesn't have the same lust for attention as some others do. Despite the fact he is generally quite silent, he is not shy. He is suave, quickwitted and assertive when he wants to be, but that is only in special circumstances.
In terms of emotion, he rarely shows any. His face is hard to judge, and he isn't the type to sob on a friend's shoulder. He deals with his problems alone, no matter how severe. The best way he can express himself is through his music.
First impressions mean a lot to Roman. He will not hold a lifelong grudge, but if you're an ass to him when you first meet him, he will probably mistrust you for quite some time. This also means that he is loyal and friendly to those that welcome and accept him.

History
Roman was born in Düsseldorf, Germany, where his Czechoslovakian parents had moved for his father's work. Roman's father was a translator for a Czech business company, which meant that he was regularly relocating. Roman only lived in Germany for the first four years of his life, when his father was given work in London.
Roman instantly settled in to school and life in general in England, a bright and popular young child who was always top of his class. He spoke Czech, German and English perfectly as a young boy, whilst some adults around him were limited to English. He also discovered his love for music in England, as most popular music around the world was English. He learnt to play guitar and was determined to one day write and play music for a living. He made close friends, but, of course, they would not last, as, when he turned 12 years old, he was yet again forced to relocate with his family.
This time, his father would be working in Beijing, China. He had moved continent. This world was completely alien to him, a whole new culture, but luckily his father had prepared him for it by teaching both him and his mother Mandarin Chinese. This time he did not settle in so fast, but settle in he did. Several months in to his new life in the orient, he discovered his parents were splitting up, his father having an affair. Custody was given to his father, as he was the money earner. His mother relocated to America without him to live with her parents. Roman found it even harder to live in China now, so he requested to his father that they move. His father explained that he could take a job in Tokyo, so, he did.
Japan wasn't too different to China, and Roman's temperament had changed. He was silent, cold and detatched. He no longer scored the top grades in his class, now he was a slacker. As he aged, he began to drink and smoke. He played in a band and abandoned his passion for school completely, participating in gang crimes like vandalism and theft. He no longer spoke with his father. In many people's book, he was an utter failure.
Suffering depression in his later teens, Roman took another blow, perhaps the biggest of all, when his father had a fatal heart attack. Roman then had to leave his good friends behind and head to the USA to live with his mother and grandparents. By the time he was 17 he had successfully, despite reluctantly, made the move overseas. He is now attending his first year as a Senior in America.
