Name: Gray Emerson
Gender: Male
Age: 18
Grade: 12th
School: Aurora High School
Hobbies and Interests: Surfing, Skateboarding, Snowboarding, hanging out with friends

Appearance: Gray is Caucasian and is 5'6" and weighs 134 pounds. He has auburn hair that tends to be messy. It is long enough to cover his eyes when it's wet. However he tends to wear a warrior international beanie nearly all the time that covers it. His eyes are a blue green colour and round shaped. He has a rounded face with subtle cheekbones that comes to a soft point at his chin. It seems to always be in a bored expression. His expression will change whenever he takes part in one his hobbies though. He normally wears loose fitting t-shirts and tattered jeans with a pair of black Animal shoes that he wears almost as often as his hat.

Biography: Born to Crystal and Grant Emerson, Gray lived most of his youngest years in a small 1 bedroom apartment. Once he turned five his parents used money they had been saving to buy a new house so they could properly raise him. It was hard for his parents at first after Grant got fired from his original job as an electrician and had trouble finding a new one. Crystal however worked as a Physiotherapist, so even though they had to be careful with their spending they managed to keep the house. A benefit of Grant's unemployment was that he got to spend much more time with Gray; Grant would often take Gray out of the house to visit the park. Gray has many good memories of the park and considers it one of his favourite places in Seattle. He frequently visits it with friends when he just wants to hang out and relax.

Early on in his life Gray was adventurous and took up many hobbies but he would always seem to drop one to move on to another that interested him. Some of the hobbies included roller blading and cycling. He would revisit hobbies he'd dropped and take them up again for a short period of time before dropping them again. This started to cost his parents too much money so eventually they got sick of his constant switching since they would need to buy new equipment every time he took up a new activity. This led to them telling him to pick a hobby and stick to it. He compromised and stuck with the two hobbies that were the most similar, Surfing and Snowboarding.

He constantly practiced with his chosen hobbies whenever he had spare time. He also took up skateboarding when he found his old skateboard. He started to practice with the skateboard everyday after school because it was more practical than either of his other hobbies. He even started to use the skateboard to get to school. However one day when he was doing this he was hit by a car as he was crossing a road. The car had been breaking the speed limit at the time. The accident broke Gray's left leg taking him out of school for two months and he required crutches to walk for a period after the accident. Although his leg has healed, his knee can still sometimes lock in place which limits his movement until he unlocks it.

He also has gained a reputation for agreeing to attempt most stunts that he is asked to do, regardless of how likely it is that he will succeed. This has led to Gray crashing and burning multiple times but he will always get up and walk away from the crash with a smile on his face. He has become very adept at shrugging off pain due to his crashes and while he has never been in a fight he is seen as someone who is hard to hurt. It is not uncommon to see Gray turn up to school on the first day of the week with a new cut or bruise on his body.

While Gray puts real effort into his favourite hobbies he doesn't put the same amount into the rest of his life. He is laid back to the point of being uncaring. He seemingly doesn't worry about anything always saying that it'll be fine in the end. This comes from the fact that his dad's attitude was that people were too caught up in their own lives and problems and never stopped worrying. Gray firmly adopted this philosophy and is laid back because he doesn't worry. His reasoning for this is that his dad never seemed worried in front of him when he was fired. Gray sees this as the best way to deal with problems because he thinks getting stressed or worrying about situations will only lead to the problem getting worse.

Grays attitude crosses over into education as well. He's an average student who puts in just the right amount of effort to maintain his passing grades. He doesn't seem to care too much about his education when compared to others. He regards exams as a waste of time because he feels you don't need to be put in a high stress environment just so you can prove your knowledge. His time at school when not in class usually revolves around hanging out with his friends. When out of school he's more likely to be found outside practicing his skateboarding or surfing, than inside studying.

Gray will hang out with anyone without caring about their social standing. Not really caring about what others think about the people he is friends with. If someone tries to annoy or get a rise out of him he will just shrug it off in a nonchalant manner normally replying with "Yeah, whatever." before carrying on with whatever he was doing.

Advantages:
Gray has a high tolerance for pain and is good at coping with pain whenever he does get hurt.
Disadvantages: Since Gray's leg can lock into place he can sometimes be caught off guard by the sudden lack of movement. The fact that this severely hampers his movement until he unlocks it could potentially leave him vulnerable.

He has a rounded face with subtle cheekbones that comes to a soft point at his chin. It seems to always be in a bored expression but he will smile often whenever he is taking part in one of his hobbies. (How does one look bored and smile at the same time, out of curiosity? You might want to re-word this a bit.) He normally wears loose fitting t-shirts and tattered jeans with a pair of black animal shoes (is this some sort of name brand?) that he wears almost as often as his hat.

Biography: Born to Crystal and Grant Emerson, Gray lived most of his youngest years in a small 1 bedroom apartment. After saving up enough money his parents were able to buy a new house where they could properly raise him. (How old was he when this happened?) It was hard for his parents at first after Grant got fired from his original job and had trouble finding a new one. (What did his father do before he got fired? Did his mother work? Were they able to keep their home even while Grant was unemployed?) A benefit of this however was that he got to spend much more time with Gray. Grant would often take Gray out of the house to visit the park. Gray has many good memories of the park and considers it one of his favourite places in Seattle.

This led to them telling him to pick a hobby and stick to it. He compromised and stuck with the two hobbies that were the most similar, Surfing and Snowboarding. (What kinds of hobbies are we talking about?)

He constantly practiced with his chosen hobbies whenever he had spare time. He also took up skateboarding when he found his old skateboard. He started to practice with the skateboard everyday after school because it was more practical than either of his other hobbies. He even started to use the skateboard to get into school. (I think you mean get to school here, might want to reword this.) One day when he was doing this however he was hit by a car which broke his left leg. Although his leg has healed, his knee can still sometimes lock in place which limits his movement until he unlocks it. (Getting hit by a car seems like a pretty big incident, mind elaborating further? What happened? How fast was the vehicle going? How long was he out of school? Did he have to use crutches?)

He also has gained a reputation for agreeing to attempt most stunts that he is asked to do, regardless of how likely it is that he will succeed. This has led to Gray crashing and burning multiple times but he will always get up and walk away from the crash with a smile on his face.

While Gray puts real effort into his favourite hobbies he doesn't put the same amount into the rest of his life. He is laid back to the point of being uncaring. Seemingly not worrying about any big situations; always saying that it'll be fine in the end. (This sentence is a fragment.) This comes from the fact that his dad's attitude was that people were too caught up in their own lives and problems and never stopped worrying.

He regards exams as a waste of time because he feels you don't need to be put in a high stress environment just so you can prove your knowledge. His time at school when not in class; usually revolves around hanging out with his friends. (There's a bit of odd punctuation going on here.) When out of school he's more likely to be found outside practicing his skateboarding or surfing, than inside studying.

Socially Gray will hang out with anyone regardless of social standing. (Awkward wording here.) Not really caring about what others tend to think about the people who he is friends with. (Fragment.) If someone tries to annoy or get a rise out of him however he will just shrug it off in a nonchalant manner normally replying with "Yeah, whatever." before carrying on with whatever he was doing. (The 'however' seems out of place in this sentence.)

Advantages: Gray has a high tolerance for pain and is good at coping with pain whenever he does get hurt.
Disadvantages: Since Gray's leg can lock into place he can sometimes be caught off guard by the sudden lack of movement. The fact that this severely hampers his movement until he unlocks it could potentially leave him vulnerable.

Overall, it's a pretty good profile. I pointed out a few things I had questions about, and I'd give it one more read-through to make sure all the awkwardly worded sentences and sentence fragments get taken care of. :)

"Not really caring about what others think about the people he is friends with."

This is a sentence fragment, but I don't feel like it's worth denying a profile over something that trivial. Just make sure you fix it before V5 proper. :)
