Alright, here's the asshole cousin I was talking about. Sorry if it's a little lacking compared to Laeil's profile. Name: Anthony Burbank Gender: Male Age: 18 Grade: 12 School: Southridge Hobbies and Interests: He's very good at baseball, though recently he's had to refrain from playing it do throwing out his shoulder, though he's very nearly recovered enough to play again. Another interest (which is his secret shame) is comic books, which he is a big fan of and has a small collection of (he doesn't keep track of them very well, though, allowing his cousin to sneak off with a few choice comics.) Appearance: Anthony exudes an air of importance, even pompousness. Standing at 6'1'', he is fairly well-built, at least enough to excel at his favorite sport. His hair is brown and short-cut, with a little bit of stubble on his chin, as if he decided recently to try growing a beard (or just forgot to shave.) The color of his hair matches his eyes, brown with something in them that just seems to say "What are you looking at?". There's a faint scar just above his left eyebrow, probably the result of a childhood injury judging from how faint it is. If he was more well-built, there's no doubt that he'd wear something to show off his muscles better. Since that's not he case, he makes due with a short-sleeved white t-shirt, with a blue stripe circling each of the sleeves. Below that is a pair of faded blue jeans, with some small tears down the legs. It seems either he's trying to make a fashion statement or he just can't bear to throw out a perfectly good (well, still wearable, anyway) pair of jeans. Below that is a pair of black and white sneakers, laces double knotted, because really, having to bend down and tie your shoes every five minutes can be such a pain. Biography: Good at academics, better at sports, Anthony would certainly be a popular student if he weren't, to be frank, an insufferable asshole. Having let a lifetime of praise and privledge go to his head, he frequently looks down on people, and is someone few people would willingly associate with. Anthony was a fan of baseball from the day he was born, and it was quickly evident that he had a talent for it. His parents quickly jumped on his, having him play on a local little league team, where his skill impressed everyone who saw him. The constant praise lavished on him gave him a big ego at an early age, and frequently caused him to bully other kids at school. Eventually, his cousin Lyn came to live with his family, and he found that she wasn't exactly welcomed with open arms. Something about his aunt and his mom having a falling out a long time ago and his mom not being very happy with having to take care of her daughter. Unfortunately for her, Anthony jumped right on the bandwagon and quickly began bullying her to assert his dominance. Upon entering high school, he immeadiately joined the baseball team, and quickly became one of the best players. He also immeadiately fell into the role of the Jerk Jock, picking on anyone he felt beneath him. As a result, he didn't have any real friends, but his ego was so big that he didn't even seem to notice. Recently, due to severely throwing out his shoulder, Anthony was forced to sit out a couple of games because of it, although he's close to a full recovery and that hopefully he'll be able to participate in the next game. Advantages: Being a good athelete would obviously mean good physical prowess. He's fast and fairly strong. Disadvantages: The biggest problem Anthony has is his ego. Though he is intelligent academically, he can be rather lacking in common sense. He's the kind of person who would stand up and fight when any sane person would get the hell away. Also, because of his abrasive personality and general assholery, most people would probably prefer to kill him dead just on principle. Another problem would be the injury to his shoulder; though it's practically healed completely, it still can give him trouble if he exerts himself too much. |

His appearance needs to be fleshed out a bit. You've told us the basics about Anthony, but there's no clear, defining features about him. The goal of the appearance section is for us to be able to vividly picture your character. If you need ideas on how to improve his appearance a bit, I'd suggest checking the roleplaying guides forum, there's some great information in there (including questionnaires) that might help you out.

Well I added all that I could think of at the moment. I can't seem to find this roleplaying guides forum you speak of, though. If you could link it to me that would be awesome. EDIT: Nevermind, I found it. |

Just one more tiny little thing. Your disadvantages section talks about a shoulder injury that Anthony sustained, but there's no mention of it anywhere else. If that's going to be a big disadvantage to him in the game, it's worth mentioning in the bio section.

...huh. It's mentioned in the Hobbies and Interests section, but okay, it's mentioned in the Bio section now too. |

Thanks dear. Anthony's approved, and he'll be moved to the matrix shortly. |
