Austin Moore
Austin is a neurodivergent long-time student of the Academy. While a little tricky to understand and get along with, he has a good heart and a splendid mind. Austin has been at the Academy since he was 6, and many of the staff members are like family to him.
Physical Description
Age: 17
Height: 6'0
Weight: 157
Race: Caucasian
Eyes: Blue
Hair: Black
Austin has a neutral expression and a generally gaunt face. He is slim but tall with messy, yet shortly cut hair. He often looks sickly or as though he has not slept, even if this is not the case.
He is an individual with ASD and OCD.
Characteristics
Positive: Austin is mild-mannered and reserved, preferring to watch things happen. He thinks before he speaks and is very calculated.
Negative: However, the smallest discrepancies upset Austin. He is an individual with severe OCD, and while the Academy has accommodated this to the best of its ability, it still oftentimes impedes his studies. He means the best... until somebody does something that is "wrong" to him.
Intelligences: Austin is vastly gifted, intellectually speaking. He is able to process many things at once and is speculated to have a mild form of hyperthymesia (or photographic memory.) He is very strategic.
Qualifications: Before Austin was out of elementary school, he was working with college-level mathematical and English concepts. He learned German and Spanish in the span of a single year out of a want for a challenge alone. There was no question that Austin would take his place among the greats at LaConranne's. In fact, he very quickly moved to phase two by the time he was ten, and has been at phase three since he was fourteen. Now, he's polishing up his abilities before he graduates... an idea that seems to be upsetting him.
"I don't understand how something like that could be hard for anybody. But then again, people were always astonished by me. Praising me for things and putting me on a pedestal for things that were naturally easy for me anyway. They thought it was amazing that I began talking before walking, and that I could write my name before kindergarten. But it's not that deep. I just understood. That's why I really like it here at the Academy. What am I going to do when I leave? I haven't been around an average mind in years."
