Virgin: He IS only eleven.
Distinguishing features:
How does s/he dress: T-shirt, jeans, sneakers… normal little boy clothes.
Jewelry:
Other accessories:

Ill at ease when: He’s alone, or around A TON of people.
Describe their sense of humor: Twisted. (“The Germans call it Schadensfreude”)
If granted one wish, what would it be:
Why:
Character/Personality/Mental/Social Strengths: Protective, enthusiastic,
honest, courageous, competitive, intelligent, and friendly (surprisingly).
Character/Personality/Mental/Social Flaws: Brutally honest, aggressive,
easily angered, sometimes too competitive, impulsive, and reckless.
Biggest Vulnerability (non physical):
Optimist or Pessimist: Optimist.
Introvert or extrovert: Extrovert.
Greatest Fear: David (surprise… you wouldn’t think anyone
would find Meester Cain intimidating).
Other Fears: He’s a little nervous around doctors still.
He used to be terrified of them, but he’s slowly getting over that.
Peculiarities:
Biggest regret: He killed two people during his escape from the
lab he was kept in (one was actually an accident).
He still feels really bad about that.
Minor regrets: Scaring Guy into jumping out of a window. At least it was,
until Hawthorne told him the window was in a ground-level room. Also, locking
Maggie in a room with Guy. He freaked Guy out a lot more than he really wanted
to, and Maggie broke his arm while beating him up afterward. D:
Biggest accomplishment:
Minor accomplishments:
Musical talents/instruments: [x]
Secret desires:
Character's darkest secret:
Minor Secrets: The fact that Eileen is his mom.
Okay, so that’s more than just a minor secret, but he’s probably got bigger ones.

Relationships with others

Relationship Skills: They’re... improving.
Loves: His family.
Lusts:
Crushes: He’s still in that “girls have cooties” stage. =o

Best Friends: Magdalyn.
Friends: Hawthorne, Pepito.
Hates: David Cain, of course (he killed his mom, among other things).
Dislikes: Avira, Edward, Jinx, Thomas…
Rivals: I suppose Guy would count as a rival. Nick is always trying to play tricks on him,
none of which ever work. Yet they get along to an extent.
Pets: None, even though he LOVES animals.
What kind of person would s/he consider to be the perfect mate: He doesn’t think
about these things.
He’s too busy thinking about how to get Schadenfreude on people.
How does s/he view other people or society:
Is the character judgmental of others and how so: He can be very judgmental of others. His way of being judgmental, usually, is that he considers everyone an enemy, and doesn’t trust them, until they somehow prove themselves otherwise (I guess that would be more paranoid, than judgmental).


How is s/he perceived by...
Strangers:
Friends:
Wife/Husband/Lover: [x]

What happens to change this perception if at all:
What type of people does s/he like or associate with:
What type of people doesn’t s/he like or associate with:
What do family/friends like most about character: He can actually be a very sweet kid at times,
What do family/friends like least about character: The whole “schadenfreude” thing. His ability to read minds gets on peoples’ nerves at times too (not that he can help it half the time, he can’t always control that power).

(a truly secret journal, as nobody can read his scribbles). He can't actually read it, or really write for that matter.
Scribbling it down just helps him remember it, somehow...

every time I hear it.
If you could compare this character to an existing character,
who would s/he be and why
: He’s like a mix between Fang and Iggy
(from Maximum Ride). A blind, mouthy, sarcastic, smart-a**. =]

    Father – Nobody knows. David Cain created him, and so would technically be
    considered his dad, but Nick would disagree. D:


    So would his mommy. Although she would secretly mutter, "At least he's not an animal, though." ("Forbidden looooove! heart " wink
