I'd like the original roles to be taken first please. You can pick one of the original roles and make them an outcast. More so The Addict role because The Athlete is definitely not an outcast. LOL.

-AuthorT H E B A S I C S
|Name|Lysander J. Mann
|Nickname|Zander β but Lysander doesn't like to be called it. He prefers his first name, no matter how much of a mouthful it is. If he has to have a nickname, he's not against being called by his surname.

Lysander has soft features: warm brown eyes, expressive eyebrows (permanently up or down in a sarcastic fashion) and dimples. His smiles are usually wide and genuine, if a little rare to come by. Lysander is notable for his long, shoulder length brown hair which is often tied up out of his way. If seen without his glasses on, he has to squint.
|Clothing Style|Lysander isn't exactly the epitome of fashion. He wears band tees and old, comfy jumpers under hoodies and β and! β occasionally splashes out with a shirt and suspenders: an outfit that his aunt picked out for him years ago. Usually the grungy, careless look is topped off with a characteristic brightly-coloured beanie and a pair of sneakers.

|Personality|β¦ Intelligent β¦ Anxious β¦ Anti-Social β¦ Neurotic β¦Lysander is a smart kid who's never had trouble with learning or studying. He was always top of his class by miles, a trait that led to his admission into St Jude's despite his mother not being wealthy. Moreover, he has a thirst for knowledge and a work ethic earned from his parents to the point where he feels wracked with guilt when not working β a not entirely healthy way to live. He has a tendency to procrastinate and give himself anxiety attacks, hence the self-medicating.
Often Lysander finds himself unable to connect with people, possibly out of awkwardness or tiredness. At the same time, he can be a bit snippy, sarcastic and is stubborn as hell when he knows he's right in an argument. He tends to be an introvert, preferring his own company over that of others and much preferring hanging out with just one or two people rather than large groups. He is a bit flighty and unreliable, as sometimes he likes just to block the world out and hide under the covers.
|Place of Origin|Arizona.
|History|Lysander was born prematurely, and his early childhood was marked by sickness. Though intelligent, his speech skills were lacking due to a tied tongue (which naturally corrected itself over a few years) and a stutter. Surprisingly, he was never bullied β he must have been in a nice school for that β but what few friends he had were left behind when he switched schools three more times in as many years after his father's death.
So, he was always an introvert, which only became more apparent in middle school. When his mother became terminally ill but before she was aware of that fact, they moved to New York so that Lysander and his two sisters could have a 'normal' home situation whilst their sole caretaker was in and out of hospital for treatments. At this point, Lysander was started on anti-anxiety meds as being thirteen going on fourteen years old was enough for him to realise the terrible, hopeless nature of the situation as it unfolded. His aunts enrolled him in Saint Jude, being from Constance Billard themselves, and gained custody of he and his siblings once his mother died the summer before he was due to start.
Attending Saint Jude put high expectations on him from his aunts. His grades had to be perfect, his social life at least so-so and he had to suffer through piano lessons from Aunt Vivienne, who was a former music teacher at Constance Billard. At the very least Aunt Selina didn't force him to take ballet!
|Extra|Another favourite subject: computing science.
|Theme Song|Lonely Town β Brandon Flowers
βDid you lock the door when it shut?
Did you see the knife when it cut?
Do you keep your ear to the ground?
For the kid in Lonely Town.βU P P E R E A S T S I D E
|Family|Mother and Father β Deceased. Lysander doesn't have many memories of his father given that he died when he was six, however, his mother's death three years ago is much more of an open sore as she was the only one to raise him and his sisters. They had a good relationship.
Aunt Vivienne and Aunt Selina β Lysander's crackpot (but undeniably rich) aunts who he and his sisters were sent to live with after their parents' deaths. Generally eccentric, it's not surprising to see where Lysander gets it from. He's very close to his aunts, though they're not especially good with children having decided not to have any.
Sisters β Louise and Lorna are Lysander's younger sisters, ages thirteen and eleven respectively. They are both intelligent, if a bit more sociable and outgoing that their brother. Often they're not particularly kind to him, though some of it definitely comes down to Lysander spending very little time with them.
|House|A fairly small, narrow house in New York with only two storeys but high ceilings befitting grand chandeliers. Fancy and befitting antique collectors like his aunts. One of the few spare rooms downstairs was converted into a ballet studio, at the cost of his sisters having to share a bedroom. Lysander has the attic to himself which is a bit depressing considering it was his mother's old room (and there's a bad spider problem).
|Social Status|Upper-Middle Class
|Transportation|Doesn't drive β takes public transport/gets a lift from his aunt in the mornings.
