[color=#77DDAA][b]Appearance:[/b][/color] Rocco is a pretty boy, there’s really no way around it. Any possible change he could make in both his style and appearance would just make him seem that more attractive. It isn’t intentional, but his presence draws admirers like a moth to a flame which certainly has boosted his ego somewhat, but not enough to make him an ass. Rocco isn’t particularly too tall either, his build is quite modest in all seriousness. He stands at a nice 6 foot 1 inches and weighs around a buck sixty soaking wet. Despite being an art fanatic, he has a similar physique to that of a swimmer or even a gymnast, perhaps its because he sees himself as a canvas or a work of art. And to that point he ensures all his artwork is perfect so that lends itself to his appearance both physically and stylistically. His eyes are a plum purple color hidden behind his square glasses and strips of loose blonde hair. Speaking of which his hair is generally messy but in a way that looks purposefully styled which suits his otherwise clean and aesthetic attire. Besides that, his skin is rather fair not treading on the side of too white that you risk burning in the sun within seconds of tanning thankfully to his Italian heritage.  

[color=#77DDAA][b]Personality:[/b][/color] Rocco is the definition of carefree, there is almost nothing that will ever get under his skin. Many in the past have tried to test and jostle his patience only to fail and thus further their own rage. Rocco has one simple belief and that is obtaining emotional zen no matter what, like that of the teachings of Siddhārtha Gautama. With this unshakable belief he knows there’s more to life than giving meaningless infuriation’s to things outside of his own control. This proves invaluable in some facets in life, but not all of them. With this sense of serene divination, he can tackle overwhelming situations calmly and collectedly where others could not and read things with a degree of unbiased opinion. 

This is mimicked in his artwork which is also mimicked to his personality as if they mirrored each other or were direct parallels. He’s careful with his art, focusing on both the big picture and the little striations and marks to achieve that goal. He pays close attention and applies the utmost care and precision to any and all his art pieces even if they’re quick doodles. He wants to breathe life into art just as he breathes life into himself every day. 

It does come with its cons however, he can seem quite detached to everyone and everything which can further antagonize people. Some say he drifts off into his own world and shuts out everyone else when he’s attempting to reach nirvana. Others might call it a phase since he’s just a senior of high school, so his traits are discounted by a lot of people. This does manifest as not taking his opponents very seriously which generally causes him to misstep and underestimate his enemy which costs him sometimes, but other times excites him more. While he does manage to not appear to have any weaknesses or triggers there is one thing that does set him off. Fake art snobs who critique his work or bash it to seem more popular and enlightened than he. This often sets him off into a tirade of anger that overflows like a storm with no end in sight.


[color=#77DDAA][b]Short Biography:[/b][/color] There’s not much to Rocco’s history that you can’t emulate from dozens of other first-generation students. Both his parents were Italian born and raised natives who only emigrated from Italy to the United States to seek better opportunities for their son like any other parent would. Except this wasn’t the only cause, but the one they chose to use as the main reason. This was because Rocco ever since a child due to his behavior always ended up on the outside of the crowd in school, this seclusion always garnered ill looks from other parents and students alike. It only got worse as he grew up since physical abuse was learned by the bullies that grew along side him. At first it was under control since Rocco never spoke of it nor fought back, but after awhile his drawings would be sent to his parents by teachers that depicted Rocco with an imaginary friend that would periodically grow in size and become more protective of Rocco until the images started to turn violent. It was more of a precursory advisement from the teachers to his parents, but they could never believe their son would take action and they were right, technically he didn’t. 

And so, time went on like sand in the hourglass and the bullies became more tenacious in their abuse, only to be encouraged by their so-called parents. It wasn’t until one day one of the bullies made fun of his art and his imaginary friend that Rocco finally gave into his primal instincts and Wonderwall was born free from his paper prison. His imaginary friend made short work of the bullies and to any spectators all they could see was some invisible force knocking kids away. With the press and police hot on their heels the Zeppeli’s could no longer stay in their local home. They became nomadic in a sense where they migrated up the Italian peninsula into the rest of the European Union, desperately looking for somewhere to settle down. However, like a black cloud looming over their heads it seemed trouble was always around the corner ready to rear its ugly head. It was always the same, Rocco would enroll into a school, things would go well for a time, his personality was harbored throughout his school, bullies attempted to take advantage of him, bullies were met with hospital beds, expulsion, moving once more. 

At wits end, the couple decided to move across an entire continent and the vast sea to settle into a different country with no connection to theirs. They settled down like most immigrant parents in the lovely city of New York where they enrolled Rocco into Linden High School. Scared of what kind of adversity they might have met they encouraged Rocco’s artistic and spiritualistic expression allowing him to join any and all clubs or associations that would allow him to exhibit his freedom of expression without fear of abuse. After four years the black cloud seemingly had faded away and Rocco was a healthy Senior boy that had a new girlfriend everyday and a good standing at his High School. Unfortunately for them Y2K aka the year of the apocalypse was hot on their heels and who knows what it had in store for the young brimming youth that was known as Rocco Zeppli. 

[color=#77DDAA][b]Quirk:[/b][/color] Rocco's only quirk is that when he's bored of his art books he often scribbles and tattoos his body with varying pieces with permanent marker and the sorts.
