♫ [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HHbibiGiel8][color=f4e346][i]I'm in love with the feeling
Of pressure to the ceiling
We come with intention
To face my opposition
Get raw when it's time
To lay it on the line
To the walls where we're taking it[/i][/color][/url] ♫[/center]

[indent][color=f4e346]►[/color] [i][b]How many years have you attended Second Horizons?[/b][/i]
[indent][color=f4e346]This will be my fifth.[/color][/indent]
[color=f4e346]►[/color] [i][b]What team color would you like? Do you think you'll get it?[/b][/i]
[indent][color=f4e346]Just put me back in blue.[/color][/indent]
[color=f4e346]►[/color] [i][b]Is this your choice to attend? If not, what can we do to accommodate you?[/b][/i]
[indent][color=f4e346][s]No. You can’t accommodate me. Why am I filling this out?[/s] Look, just this once, I’m trying my best. Yes. I want to be here.[/color][/indent]
[color=f4e346]►[/color] [i][b]Any allergies, disabilities, or special circumstances we should be aware of?[/b][/i]
[indent][color=f4e346][s]I’m allergic to this camp’s bullshit.[/s] I’m kind of used to it though. Is this Stockholm Syndrome? I’m trying to get myself excited.[/color][/indent]
[color=f4e346]►[/color] [i][b]Do you have experience with any winter sports? Would you like lessons?[/b][/i]
[indent][color=f4e346][s]No, and I don’t want to learn.[/s] Fuck it, let’s give hockey a try.[/color] [/indent]
[color=f4e346]►[/color] [i][b]What are you looking forward to?[/b][/i]
[indent][color=f4e346]The sauna when the girls are in it. Also, since I’m trying to be positive nowadays… I actually don’t mind the campfire get togethers.[/color][/indent]
[color=f4e346]►[/color] [i][b]What are you not looking forward to?[/b][/i]
[indent][color=f4e346]When the girls leave the sauna.[/color][/indent]
[color=f4e346]►[/color] [i][b]Tell us a little bit about yourself:[/b][/i]
[indent][color=f4e346][s]Aggressive. Frustrated. Not happy to be here. Should I go on? What do you want me to say? Say I have a heart of gold, and I’m happy to be here and you should be happy to have me? This isn’t a job application, and I don’t want to be here. And you shouldn’t be happy to have me. In fact, I’m probably a walki[/s]

This year I’m gonna try to change. Honestly, I graduate this year, so if I come back it’ll have to be as a counselor, and hey, let’s say I’m getting a little comfortable showing my face around here every year. I usually go in with a bad attitude, and I don’t think Coach would really like that. So you know what? I wanna do my best to make my last winter as a camper here a good one.

I used to be like that. I used to be a bad guy, and I’m not even trying to pretend like I wasn’t. I hurt people, I did bad things. But not anymore. Now I channel my aggression and I’m trying to make something out of it. I have healthy outlets, I have friends back home, hell I even had a girlfriend [sub]okay, that only lasted like a month[/sub], but still! I’m on the come up.

I want to do something right, I want to give Second Horizons a real chance. I don’t wanna be the kid that gets in trouble for organizing strip poker — or at least [i]just[/i] that kid. I wanna play ice hockey and go on hikes, and just give the camp a real shot. Second Horizons has always tried pretty hard for me, so now it’s my turn.

Let’s go.[/color][/indent]

[color=f4e346]►[/color] [i][b]Noteworthy appearance traits:[/b][/i]
[indent][list][*]Dressed like he just rolled out of the bed, but like every day. Is it a look? Is it a style choice? Is he just lazy? Ask him.
[*]6’5”
[*]His lateral incisor and canine are fake teeth. Those adult ones… they don’t grow back, yeah?
[*]Nose appears slightly bent out of shape. The lad did his best to set it back into place, but sometimes you aren’t lucky.
[*]Scar on his foot, where he stepped on a nail and it pierced damn near through the whole thing. Simpler days.[/list][/indent]
[color=f4e346]►[/color] [i][b]Noteworthy luggage items:[/b][/i]
[indent][list][*]Lockpicking set. He keeps telling them he’s going to break into the lodge and steal booze and get drunk. He keeps doing it, they keep not stopping him.
[*]Playing cards. He likes to gamble and organize pick up games with his fellow campers. Sometimes with no shame, get it?
[*]DS lite. Everybody needs a hobby, his hobby is Tetris.
[*]All Star Superman. Light reading for the plane.[/list][/indent][/indent]
[indent][color=f4e346]►[/color] [i][b]Quirks:[/b][/i]
[indent][list][*] Likes to fiddle with things. This can lead to him snapping his fingers, or clicking a fidget cube. It’s a real problem.
[*] Has trouble sleeping. He used to deal with this by taking pills, but they made him feel ill. Now he just sort of deals with it.[/list][/indent]
[color=f4e346]►[/color] [i][b]Likes/Dislikes:[/b][/i]
[indent][color=00a651]✔[/color] Exercise and fitness. [color=f4e346]“And now I don’t mean ‘fitness whole pizza in my mouth.’ That shit is so cringe. I like to work out and stay on top of my game.”[/color]
[color=00a651]✔[/color]  BJJ. [color=f4e346]“BJJ is the style I chose, and I’m sticking with it. I’m getting pretty good — sure I get my ass beat sometimes, but it’s fair to say I beat ass sometimes too. Wait a second, that doesn’t sound right…”[/color]
[color=00a651]✔[/color]  Fighting games. [color=f4e346]“I used to think video games were fucking stupid before some nerd at school turned me on to these. He did my homework, and he taught me how to play. I got a long way to go but the games are fun, and the community is great.”[/color]
[color=ed1c24]✖[/color]  His father. [color=f4e346]“Dad and I never got along.”[/color]
[color=ed1c24]✖[/color] Apocalypse Now. [color=f4e346]“This movie was way too hyped up. The real horror was watching the fucking thing.”[/color]
[color=ed1c24]✖[/color] Root beer. [color=f4e346]“It doesn’t really do it for me… not even root beer floats.”[/color][/indent]

[indent][color=f4e346]►[/color] [i][b]Brief history:[/b][/i]
[indent]Rich’s father raised him alone. A hot shot lawyer in Miami, Florida, Rich’s dad never really had time for his young son. Rich never processed this very well growing up, and he was something of a bully when he was younger. He would get into fights, he would make fun of kids… he was a problem child, through and through. As he got older, he got more adventurous. Sneaking out, parties, underage drinking… the works. Despite therapist after therapist — one of which suggested he attend Second Horizons, something Rich hated both during the summer and the winter — Rich never seemed to calm down. It wasn’t until just over a year ago that someone finally got through to Richard: a trainer at a small combat club.

Rich showed up, and got his ass handed to him by a kid half his size and wanted to sign up immediately. A deal was reached between himself and the coach: if Richard wanted to work with him, then he was going to have to try and atone for his past mistakes. For the most part? This amounted to Rich handwriting letters to classmates he’d bullied and doing whatever they deemed necessary to get them to accept his apology. It was hard work, but the effort paid off and he’s been training under the instructor for a while now — even managing to skip the Second Horizons summer camp to spend his days working out and practicing. He’s getting pretty good now, and mentally he’s never been in a better place.

It was the coach’s suggestion that he try to go into Second Horizons with a positive mindset this one time, since it’s almost certainly going to be the last chance he has to do that as a camper, and if he ever wants to be a counselor? Then he has to make sure he doesn’t do anything… [i]too[/i] bad at the camp this year.

This year, Rich is a changed man: he’s still got his playing cards, and he’s still got his lockpick set, but more importantly he’s got a once broken nose, and two fake teeth. His mindset couldn’t be better, and he’s hoping to bring that energy to the camp.[/indent][/indent]
