Mine is a little short too, we need to get to the meat of the story.
Sir Tristan gave a light bow to Mordred as he abruptly departed, and rubbed her brow for a moment. Men... She took her seat once more at the table, hoping to finally eat her damn boar once and for all.
"I do not know about you, Sir," she said to Gawain, "but I intend to eat my meal before the night is done. So please take no offense," and with that she took a good sized bite for a lady of her roast boar. It was still warm, and she wanted to enjoy it before the night air chilled it further. Something about the way Mordred had regarded her was... unsettling. Being a novelty as a knight was not always a good thing. She'd met men before who had decided that she would be an good story to boast at the tavern, and they all distinctly came to mind as the two large men had trapped her in conversation just moments ago. I'll eat, then maybe I'll just step out for a walk away from all the drunkards...

I think Jason and Iikka would get along well. They've both put up with shit from other people, and from shitty parents. Obviously Iikka is much more aggressive and Jason would have to get him to step back and cool down sometimes. Jason's goal would be to prevent his friend from ending up going to juvie or worse.
Just throwing out opinions:
Mario strikes me as an all-around good guy that would get along with anyone easily, and be a good "glue" for the group. I think it's the scouts thing. Seems like everyone would know that guy.
Max's life experiences are so positive they would seem surreal to Jason. He'd feel awkward admitting his life circumstances around her. She'd have to try to get past a wall.
Olivia is smart, and kind of bitchy. He could handle that, as his own grades are pretty ok, and he's used to bitchy/smartass women from his mother and her friends. Her book smarts would match his work ethic and street smarts. He could let things roll off his back coming from her that others might be offended by.

Sort of a gang, sort of an informant service. It all depends on who walks into her office...
Hmmm... Jason's place in high school society...
Well, he lives in the trailer park with his mom, and his dad isn't around. He mentions a half brother he barely knows and hasn't seen since he was a kid. My thought is that the dad and his family live in another town, maybe at least an hour away, and his mom was some sort of one night stand gone awry, or a friend who made a mistake. His mom is also poor, and a bit of an alcoholic. I'm thinking she is a waitress. So Jason has a lot to face whenever he's home, so likely he's out. He works at the hardware store so would likely run into people downtown. His car is ugly (peeling paint et all) despite being not bad for 5k, so people would know it when they see it rolling down the street or parked outside a shop. Most of his clothes are thrift, he's all about resale shops and saving his pennies.
He likes music, he'd been seen at the music store or resale records/book shop looking for cheap entertainment. You might see him at concerts, especially rock/punk types of venues. He's unlikely to hang around the mall or expensive places. He'd be the kid that orders black coffee at Starbucks if he had to go to one. He doesn't play an instrument but he likes to sing along with songs he knows, and is actually pretty good at it.
He's good at hands-on stuff. He's interested in attending trade schools rather than college, so his extracurricular class would be Shop where he learns things like welding and carpentry as well as other skills that go towards building things. He's working on plans to turn his Mazda into an art car.
People don't treat him well because he's from the trailers, and he got used to it by junior high. He's been on the free lunch program as long as he's been in school. He's friendly enough to talk to, should you bother, but otherwise can be a bit of a loner focused on sketching plans for his car in the margins of his notebook. However, he'd be flattered to be asked about the drawings, and happy to join in on things he actually gets invited to (not that there's much.) He would have a hard time relating to people who have easy blessed lives.

Also I fit a lot of omg'ing into that one paragraph of pure dialogue lol
Also, you've heard of Spanglish, welcome to Frenchlish. Google translator is your friend.

*casts Cure on Nobodyman123* HEEEEEEEEEEEAL!
I feel like I remember someone morphing into another person once in the books, or maybe he was changing into a combination of two other people to hide an identity or something, but its been years as I read them as they first came out starting in book 1... I think that might get a little too funky though if not god-modey, and it was later in the books not early on.
I will submit my character as options for either smart guy or heart, then. He can easily be either. I think I would prefer heart though because he's musically inclined.

Hmm, I could also play him as a heart, or if that's taken make him actually much smarter than the circumstances he comes from. Hard to tell what is available or not by the posts.
Heart. I adored these books in junior high.
What's your name?: ... Are you a cop?... Fine, it's Jason Bertrand.
How old are you?: 16
What do you look like?: My mom says I look like my dad. He was really lanky too. I have the same wiry hair, the same green eyes. We're both tall and skinny. But I only know that because its what mom says. I have a nose piercing. It's kind of symbolic. Bulls wear them, beasts of burden, and this is sort of like, being a beast of burden to the world. I put all of myself into my projects. I don't really expect others to do for me. My gramma would be rolling in her grave if I did. She used to talk about karma and being a good person rather than worrying about what religion is right, and that if you're good you'll be find no matter who's right. I like the simplicity in that.
Do you have any hobbies? Please feel free to discuss them here: I collect vinyl, I like to listen to music. I have a lot of records that belonged to my gramma and my mom when she was younger. When Gramma died I got her record player and her collection. That was something I always liked doing when I'd stay at her house while mom worked: she'd put music on most of the time. I like going to concerts. Sometimes I can get into the 18+ shows, it's the facial hair. I can grow a beard if I want to. Hasn't helped me buy beer yet, though. It's not worth the beard itch yet, so I tend to shave it off every so often. I like mosh pits. I also like driving fast. I bought a 2008 Mazda 3, it's not the best car, and the paint is peeling, but I could afford it. It has a nav system in the dash, which is cool, and it's black. I'd really like a Dodge Challenger but I needed something I could get for like 5 grand.
Any dislikes?: Traffic tickets. Being asked what college I want to go to. I also don't like to see people acting like jerks. There's enough of that, and I've got this one friend that can go a bit overboard on the aggression, Iikka, and I have to kind of reign him back a bit. I try to keep him out of juvie. Cops will really arrest you for doing stupid shit, you know? I see them coming to the trailer park pretty often, there's a few repeat offenders. One guy kept hitting his wife, and he's been arrested like three times. She looks like a mess now. So, like, I hate guys like that, and I don't want to see Iikka turn out that way.
Tell me, what are your goals for the future? Both immediate and long-term.: I might look into a trade school. Maybe welding. The job market really favors trades, not business degrees. Don't listen to the machine at school, college is for suckers. Right now I work at the hardware store on Main. They give me a discount on stuff, so I've been building up my tool collection at home, and I started getting into making furniture. It's not complicated stuff, but I made the shelves in the living room, and my bed frame. I'm making an iron work headboard for mom for her birthday, it's in the shop at school. I think its important to learn a lot of practical skills. Everyone thinks they're going to grow up and get a white collar job with a computer or something. The world doesn't work that way; things still have to be fabricated and crafted.
What's your home life like? Specifically, what is your relationship like with your parents?: I haven't seen my dad since I was in pre-school. My mom is a really controlling woman. I'm ready to move out. She drinks too much and thinks she's still 20 or something. I love her but she's maddening. It's just kind of frustrating because she's hung over a lot, and I feel like I have to check on her all the time and make sure she's ok. Actually, once I move out one day, I'll probably still be checking on her all the time...
Siblings?: I have an older half brother but I don't really know him. Mom and his mom aren't really friends and they stopped trying to keep my brother and I in touch when I was in like, sixth grade. He's Dad's "real" kid. So, screw all of them. It's fucked up to have a kid and act like he doesn't exist, right? Because he's always been like that. I think Dad was already married to his wife when I was born, so its not like he would have gotten together with my mom, and they all used to be friends until I came along and I guess I'm what ruined all that.
What's your favorite animal, and why?: That's a weird question... I guess a phoenix, because they rise from the ashes. I'd like to think that's my spirit animal, like native Americans talk about. Because no matter how far down I am coming from, I am going to rise. But you probably want real animals. Um... hawks are cool, there's a hawk living in the woods behind our trailer and I saw it swoop down and grab this rat, it was so tight! The rat never saw it coming!
Favorite color?: Teal. It's not blue, and it's not green. Take that, society!
You wake up late one night to discover that your house is burning down. What do you do?: Grab my two vinyl crates and get the hell out. I've got collector-worthy shit in there. Then I'd go around and break my mom's window and get her out. The bulk of the trailer is between our two rooms, I could get out my window and go around. If there was a fire, it'd be coming from near the front door. It's laid out like, Mom's room and bathroom, kitchen, living room, my bathroom and my room.
Finally, a tricky one; which came first, the chicken or the egg?: The amoeba. We had single celled organisms that reproduced by dividing long before we had egg-layers.
