[b]*Disclaimer*[/b] Forgive me if I make some oversights or mistakes with Muscular Dystrophy. It's not something I'm too familiar with, so if someone catches a hiccup or a flaw in my character design related to that please do speak up and highlight it.

[b]Name:[/b] Ivan Blair

[b]Age:[/b] 17

[b]Grade:[/b] 3rd Year

[b]Disability:[/b] Muscular Dystrophy - Particularly in the legs, uses a wheelchair to get by.

[b]Personality:[/b] Ivan is typically a very reserved individual. Having had only transferred in this year he has figured his time here is limited, and being a last year student no one he could run into would still be looking for friends, so he keeps largely to himself. He get's good grades, and if engaged in conversation tends to be a kind and honest person, but distant. He spends his free time mainly in his room watching tv, reading a book or playing a game. But occasionally he get's fresh air by wandering about campus fields, if for nothing more than to make his muscles not completely sore and weak. 

Not wanting his disability to beat him you'll occasionally catch him trying to walk with his crutch when outside on his own, but this often results in him falling and having to slowly crawl back to his wheelchair cause he was too stubborn to bring a friend to help, there being several cuts and bruises on his face, arms and legs as a result. His arms are more easily exercised with small weights since he can work them without risk of falling and hurting himself. But even then he keeps a stick on him to nudge and shift things that his arms simply can't reach or stretch out too.

He's tried getting a license for some kind of specialized motor bike, but even with proper adaptions for his feet his arms currently are not fit enough to take on the extra demand. Horses he has an easier time with and does ride occasionally, but since he's not allowed to use such a thing on campus or on most roads he's usually stuck reliant on his wheelchair and public transit.

[b]Background:[/b] Ivan was born with Muscular Dystrophy, he however was originally able to walk but didn't learn until the age of 3 because of the extra effort it took. Even then though his body eventually gave up at the age of 10 and he's been confined to his wheelchair ever since. He spent most of his growing up in Ottawa, Canada and got by fine at a typical school. However, during his second year he annoyed the wrong crowd, getting into a 'fight' that broke both his legs and his right arm. His parent's worried as a result decided he had to be pulled out and sent to a school that better understood and accepted him, homeschooling him in the meantime so he wouldn't fail. Yamaku Academy was the only place they could find that they felt safe leaving their child at, and despite Ivan's constant refusal he was forced to leave home and go there. Having only arrived 2 weeks ago he has familiarized himself with the school area, but nothing outside it. Nor does he yet know of anywhere to keep up hobbies like horse back riding or gaming nights.

[b]Other Info:[/b] Ivan always sit's in his wheelchair a bit low, as if he's about to slip off at any moment but oddly he never does. He simply does this so at a moments notice he can get off his wheelchair and attempt to walk for himself during the brief moments outside when no one else is around to stop him.
