@RiverMaiden *looks at the CS that he started a few days ago and never finished* ... *places it in the "List of Unfinished Characters" on his Desktop as #231* Yup.
Name: Raphael Horace Carini AKA "L" Gender: Male Age: 17
L looks like your typical, high school emo kid: dark hair, grey eyes, and pale skin accentuated by black clothing, black make-up, black... everything; just like his soul. He stands at 5'11" and weighs a concerning 118lbs with little to no muscle mass adorning his body. His features are very gaunt and he very well could be mistaken for a walking corpse.
Personality: Raphael is as his appearance dictates: a person who is enamored with brooding morbidity. As a fledgling poet and singer, his poetry and lyrical content reflects humanity's chaos, pain, and suffering. Despite this obsession he has with the dark and profane, he is a very chill person, values the opinions of everyone, and is always game for anything. However, L is known for being in detention often, considering he is almost always tardy, rejects the uniform policy, and constantly protests "the System". He is quite bright though, somehow typically obtaining an A/B average. Likes:
Poetry
Singing and underground music
Dark and morbid subjects
Experimentation
Protesting
Being open-minded to all possibilities
Dislikes:
Pop music
Narrow mindedness
Stagnation
Uptight people
Authority
Inhumanity
Sexuality: "It's like... it doesn't even matter, man." (Pansexual/Omnisexual)
Bio: Unlike what he would have you believe, L has lived an absolutely typical middle class life. His parents are from Milan, Italy and they currently run a successful Italian restaurant in town. He grew up the eldest of two children, his sister being exactly two years younger than him (Yes, they have the same birthday!), and he was always known as the "weird" kid through elementary school, middle school, and now in high school. Despite that, he wasn't an outcast and has changed very little from his younger days. In fact, he is well liked by most since he causes little drama between classmates but always makes teachers want to pull their hair out.
Extra: He is quite involved in school politics and other extracurricular activities. Currently, L is the president of the small Poetry Club. He practices all forms of poetry, but particularly likes slam poetry.
Singing-wise, Raphael is surprisingly good and possess a wide range. However, he tends to prefer death growls/screaming when making his own music. While he can not play an instrument to save his life, he does make experimental electronic music on his mid-line laptop.
If he is not doing either of those two things in his spare time, then he is usually socializing, dabbling in something new, or protesting "the System".
Note: Beast and Vicious plan to make Kiyo and L like a Jay and Silent Bob bromance duo xD
K I Y O S H I . I T S U G A Y A Relationship: Acquaintance "I've never really noticed him... How does he look like?"
Has no idea who he is.
E L I Z A B E T H . K A I N E S T R O M Relationship: Acquaintance "This school is big... should I know her? Sorry if this makes me sound kind of dense, I just don't think we've ever had the opportunity to talk."
Has no idea who she is.
R A P H A E L . C A R I N I Relationship: Acquaintance "Now I know Kiyo... he's the kid that's always next to L! L is like... it's really hard not to notice him in the hallway."
Occasionally attends Open Mic Night and provides some snacks for visitors.
Feels bad for only noticing Raphael and not his close friend, Kiyoshi.
@Viciousmarrow Darian already has an uphill battle, but now she's got two MCs that are into the politics thing so it's like...it's like she's starting from the starting line and you're all INCHES FROM THE FINISH LINE
@Fabricant451 She's the underdog but that would be a wonderful debate to write out.
Genevieve has the most influence but that doesn't mean she's fit to be President. She's pressured by the Headmaster and teachers. She does have her opinions and ideals but her insecurities and fears kind of hold her back.
Raphael is the middle man. Not hated, nor absolutely loved. He gets good grades, but coasts throughout school. Only really causing a scene because he wants to be dramatic.
Darian has a lot of beliefs she holds dear, but due to her mouth, she has made such a bad reputation for herself, making her journey the hardest. She has a strong presence which speaks 'Leader' to me, but her anger is a major obstacle.
I would find it awesome if the end result of this is they are all on the student council because they're debate was so memorable.
