Character/Class Info
Name: Ezra Michael Eremite
Age: 17
Birthday: May 7th (Taurus)
Height: 6ft
Weight: 154
Class / Rank: 3-2 / 24 (was 1-1 and 2-1... slipped ): )
1st Year / 2nd Year / 3rd Year: Art&World History / Art&World History / Humanities (w/ Art&World History)
Visible Markings: Lip ring piercings (for when he has the ring out), random smattering of bruises and scrapes.
Clubs/Etc: Photo club (president!), baseball
Appearance: Short short hair, alternately blond or brunette depending on his preference. A lot of baggy pants and hoodies and t-shirts and hats. He has spacers in his ears and wears black, thick-rimmed glasses. He slouches a fair bit and likes to pull faces, and shuffles a bit when he walks. Bare arms sport a fair number of tattoos and he has a lip ring. He has paint splotches on most of his clothes, but he doesn't seem to mind. His frame is lanky but with some muscle on it. (PB: Chester Bennington)
History: Born to a carpenter and the choir director of the Anglican church he's attended all his life, Ezra has lived a good life, though he's sure his appearance will have others thinking otherwise. Though the tattoos still garner disapproval from his mother, his family is fairly easy-going and prefer to see him healthy and happy and knowing than ignorant and rebellious. Without a doubt, he still caused them worries, but if you ask him, he can't think of a single thing he's done that he hasn't talked out with his parents about, be it before or after the fact.
He was surrounded also by a good group of friends. Bad influences, maybe, but they all had their good points, and his mother invited them over often for dinner, often enough so that she could at least know which of them had gotten her son into trouble THIS time. When he came back with his first tattoo when he was sixteen (during summer vacation at home), there was a good, long talk... and then a month later he and his father came home with matching MOM tattoos, which caused her to toss her hands in the air and leave making dinner up to them. (His sister, for the record, said she thought it was immature, but kept asking to see her brother and father flex to see the tattoos better.)
An artistic nature took hold of him as he grew up, mostly in the form of drawing on things he shouldn't be drawing on, or painting, or rearranging, or other things that could be considered disruptive and messy and BAD EZRA MICHAEL EREMITE DRAWING ON THE WALLS WITH CRAYON. His grandparents redirected the problem by making sure he was constantly supplied with paper and crayons, and as the years progressed, the gifts got a little more sophisticated. An art easel one year, oil paints, paintbrushes, sketchpads, and for his fifteenth birthday they bought him a state-of-the-art camera with some film, with the promise he would take tons of pictures while he was off at school. (This also helped ease off on his continuing tendancy to draw on walls, though now it had moved into the realm of graffiti art.)
About that. Second Heaven was suggested to the Eremites by an old alumni that went to their church, and said that for someone of Ezra's talent, the education might prove beneficial. If it was still the same school that it had been when he'd went, it'd be a fantastic experience for the young man as well, and wouldn't hurt to help broaden his horizons a little. The idea was planted, and Ezra decided he didn't have a lot to lose. He got a portfolio together and sent it along to the school, along with a letter of recommendation by the friend that had suggested it to them in the first place. His paintings and drawings, pictures taken with less-than-state-of-the-art camera were all put in, and what came back was a scholarship to Second Heaven.
And Now?: He's now in third year and enjoying himself greatly. He's started thinking about an online business for art commissions and maybe a magazine or two once he's done (though a select and secretive few know that he's been doing some on-the-side photography since second year at least), and with the new acquisition of a digital camera has started to make little mini-movies. He also helps out the drama groups with backgrounds and other set designs. He makes sure he's taken everyone's picture at least once, and he does keep a copy of them all, and does try to get to know something about the person he's taken a photo of. Most go to the yearbook committee that he helps out fairly frequently as their photographer, though he's too busy to be a part of the group himself. He's a well-known face around the school, a joker that rarely gets down on anyone or anything, and tries to make sure everyone is as comfortable and happy as they can be while they're at SH, hoping everyone has as great an experience as he does.
He hangs out a lot with Candide, Fusako and Chaton, mostly because of Candide whom the poor boy crushes on no matter how badly she treats him, but he's also been known to pester people such as Eleanor and Mihai. Teacher-wise, he doesn't dislike a single one of them, and chats with the likes of Mr. Caine and Mr. Lagus as easily as if he were talking to Mrs. Adams or Ms. Chen. (Not to say he doesn't get in trouble for it.) He also keeps an eye out for Alma, who's something of a little sister to him, making sure she doesn't get into too much trouble either.
Personality: Easy-going and truthful, he makes a surprisingly good mediator despite being intimidating in terms of appearance. Self-assured and confident, but with a sort of humility and self-mockery that balances it out so it doesn't get annoying (unless someone being confident in any way is annoying to you). He has a good store of energy, but is actually pretty calm and moves at his own pace for the most part. He's firm in his faith and respectful of those around him who follow other beliefs, or no beliefs at all. He is a bit like a big, harmless and lazy dog, and likes most of everyone for no particular reason. He doesn't get angry often, but does drift off every now and then in some sort of daydream about this or that project on his mind. He's a bit mischevious and likes to tease, and if you don't like your picture taken, too bad~
