● More In Depth Appearance Deus is a model example for an athlete. He stands at an impressive 6’3” with a toned but somewhat slim build. This is indicative of the fact that, while he favors flight over fight anyday, he’s no slouch when backed into a corner. In his third year of high school, he started getting tattooed up his arms, despite his aunt’s protests. Most of them are tribal in design, but he does have one on his left forearm of his little sister’s name written graffiti style.
Yes, everyone asks about the hair. Why is it so big? Doesn’t he know how ridiculous and cartoony it looks? Well, most people who ask those questions never get an answer. Those who know, would know that Deus’ father told him to never be afraid to be different. Thus, Amadeus’s hair put the NAP in nappy. The very least that his aunt got him to do, was to get it shaped up into a hightop fade of sorts. Parts of it are clumpy, some are smooth, and others twisted, forming what his mother called a “beautiful mess”.
As for what he’s typically seen in, it’s usually sportswear. Sweatpants, varying jerseys, gym shorts, sneakers, etc. He always tries to mix and match the colors of his outfits. Hats are almost never an option but he does wear headphones with the top resting on the back of his hair. He’s also willing to dress up for special occasions, such as a dance, a job interview, a funeral; you get the idea.

● PersonalityDeus is a good guy, to put it simply. He’s the type of guy that works hard, holds the door for people, and doesn’t try to be something that he isn’t. Although not seeming to be the brightest, he is painfully observant and clever. As such, he likes to joke around among his friends. He stands out in a crowd and by no means falls victim to peer pressure. He’s typically very calm, even when going through the motions, and it’d take something dramatic to faze him.
Though, when he’s in a mood, most often when it comes to memories about his mom, he drags his feet, his head hangs just a little bit lower; his heart rests on his sleeve. He has depressed periods that he often tries his best to hide, which can constitute with him not being around all the time. Deus is very defensive about his mom and sensitive to those who don’t particularly treat their mothers well. When really fired up, he'll get testy and confrontational, albeit never violent.
He’s a thinker and it can a lot of times take him to far away places, so it can be hard to keep focused. However, that shifts when he’s playing either basketball or football. When in those situations, his heart and soul goes into each moment with a competitive fire. He’s the guy that dives after the loose ball, the first and last one at practices, and does whatever he rightfully can to win. He's much more aggressive and focused. His ability to maintain composure so well with passion is what got him the nickname “AC”, like air conditioning.

● Biography Amadeus didn’t have a lot when he was young. He wasn’t the kid with the hottest new game system. He wasn’t the kid that got to go on family vacations or anything like that. His family was just managing to keep their head above the water, but they had each other, and that was enough for him.
His pops ran the local barber shop, Sterlin’ Styles, was the name of the place. Although his dad was real strict, he was funny, hardworking, and kind. He bought Deus his first basketball and told him all kinds of stories about differing sports heroes. A lot of who Amadeus is today was built up by that man. He was everything one could want in a father, even if he wasn’t perfect. At least, that was how Amadeus saw him. As it turned out, his eating habits weren’t the greatest and it was a major contributor when his father passed away due to heart problems.
It tore their family of three asunder as Deus and his mother had to move on without him. From his youth onward, it was clear that he was much closer to his father than his mother, but they kept one another up when times were bleak. So, for a while it was just them with his mother having to light the candle on both ends to make ends meet.
That is, until she met a man named Marcus, whom his mother eventually fell in love with to try filling the void. Amadeus felt betrayed but did his best to simply keep those emotions inside for the sake of his mom’s happiness. Though, the man sometimes secretly abused his mom. When asked about it, he found himself met with his mother’s desperate protests to leave it be; that it’d get better with time. Although he didn’t want to believe it, Amadeus relented.
This led to Deus burying himself in the world of sports channel his frustrations. Again, everything seemed to fade into a sort of normalcy. He even got his little sister, Deena, in that time, who he gravitated to instantly. Though, as if on some wicked turntable, the same year that she was born, was the same year that Amadeus lost his mother to a house fire, with his stepfather jailed for manslaughter.
If it weren’t for his Aunt Marsha fighting against the childcare system to keep them together, and eventually adopting them, neither of them would even be in Sterling Heights. As the saying went, time moved forward, and for the past two years, Amadeus is finally able to start coming back into his own again. School’s been fine, College sports scouts and even some NBA reporters come to his games. Amadeus even sometimes goes with his sister to visit his stepfather…
Everything seems to be looking up...for now...
● Theme Songs:
Sojourner - Rapsody ft J. Cole
Oh, I swam for miles, only to realize the current
Is fightin' against me and I'm so tired, floatin' now
Oh, from here on out, I've got to realize the power
Of learnin' to let go, and just let God
Enjoy the ride
