[peter stevens]

Character Name: Peter Sevens
Nickname(s): Pete
Gender: Male
Age: 16
Grade: Sophomore

Clique: Hipster
Weight: 125

Appearence:

Peter falls under the thin category. Even though all of his favorite kinds of foods are under the sugar side of the food pyramid, Peter has his ways of making sure that there is no weight gain in the process. He is always high strung, and his nervous habits along with constant stress seem to keep the weight off. Because of his thinner body and sharp bone structure, many of his bones stick out or are highly noticeable, such as his collar bone and wrists.

He has a set of dark shaggy hair, and blackish brown eyes. His dark features clash against his pale skin tone, only causing him to look a few shades lighter then he really is. He always seems to look rather expressionless, besides his eyebrows which are high arched and tend to furrow in when he talks. His eyes seem pretty glassy, and the only time he seems to look interested in things is when he is either angry of upset.

Peter also has a keen sense in fashion, always wearing more than one shirt or some type of jacket scarf combo to make himself look high class. He doesn't ever seem to dress very casual, and favors wearing shorts over any type of jeans or dress pants. Although the top half of him he seems to favor covering, he always finds a way to show off his legs when it's possible.

Personality:

Peter suffers from Histronic Personality Disorder, which means that his personality is pretty much just picked out of him. Histronic Personality Disorder is when you thrive on attention, and need constant approval from everyone. Peter is always stressed about what other people think about him, trying to act as high class as possible and always sticking his nose in the air about everything others do. He has a way of being very hypocritical, since he has high standards for everyone around him even though he never seems to be doing the right thing.

Peter's personality follows his disorder rather perfectly, always finding a way to be overly seductive towards the male gender. He is overly flirtatious and whenever he finds someone he seems to be slightly fond over, he becomes overly obsessed and is always trying to lure them towards him. He seems to be the same way with friends, becoming very dependent on them once they get close to him. But whenever someone seems to lose interest in him, he pulls away as quickly as possible. He is very afraid of rejection, so he'd much rather be the one doing the rejecting.

Peter has an obsession with manipulation. He likes to make people feel insecure whenever it is possible for him to do so. He has a way of acting like he cares for people and then ignoring them, only to come back and obsess over them further. Whenever someone else has control over him, he tends to panic and do as much as he possibly can to get back on top. Even if it means burning others along the way.

Overall, Peter is extremely neurotic and stressed. He doesn't have a lot of control over his emotions, and snaps under any amount of pressure. He tries very hard to act like he doesn't care what's going on around him, but he cares much more then he should. He's a bit too out spoken, and has a lack of respect for pretty much everyone around him. Peter is a high class, rude child.

History:

Peter grew up in Maine. His parents loved it there, it was their idea of beautiful. Even though the winters were cold, everything about Maine was a wonderland for them. They were young when they first had Peter, and they didn't have plans for another kid. One was good for them. Just their one, beautiful angel. Of course, Peter had to be careful around his parents, who were high class and wanted him to excel in everything he did. He started Piano and fencing when he was young, and he tried his best to be a diamond child.

But his parents had their ways of being two faced, just like most families are. Although they went to parties occasionally and acted like an ideal family, Peters mother had a severe case of Schizophrenia. She would act up more often than not, and Peter's father went to extreme lengths to hide this from their friends and neighbors. Then, at the age of six, Peter's mother attempted suicide. It wasn't successful, but his mother ended up being more like a vegetable then a normal person. She ended up in a wheel chair, and spent most of her time gazing out the window. She is like a child.

His father had always had anger issues, but they became even worse at the event of his mothers fall apart. Peters father began to throw all his rage at his only child, abusing Peter mentally, physically, and sexually. Since Peter is not quite right in the head, his mind found a way to turn the abuse into love. He convinced himself it was all out of affection, absorbing his abuse like a sponge and just going with anything his father said. Even now, many years later, he still just takes what his dad has to throw at him. The abuse still continues, although it's a bit out of hand at the moment.

A few years after his mothers 'fall apart', his family moved to Long Beach. His dad said that some sun shine would be good for the family, but it was really law suits that drove him out of the state. It doesn't take long to notice the bruises that were showing up unusual places on Peter's body. His dad started a small business, which turned into a bigger deal then he first thought it would. The irony is funny to Peter, since his father owns a family counseling office.

His family later moved to where they are now, in Central. His father is trying to re-establish his business, which means that Peter has to be more careful than ever. His father puts a lot of pressure on him to be a better person, and a model child for his business. It's hard for him to pull it together, of course, since his personality is everything but a model child. He tries though. He doesn't want to anger the beast within.

Sample Rp:

It wasn't like him to act nervous.

Okay, maybe it was. Maybe he was all over the place all the time. But he tried not to be. It was hard to control yourself when you weren't really controlling what's happening in your brain. The whole brain controlling thing wasn't really is fault either not. Nothing was ever his fault, though. Everyone else is always the problem. Never him.

But he was kind of nervous. He always was nervous to go back to school. The summer was always nice at pleasant. He always seemed to find a way to be alone during the summer. Which he liked. But the best part about summer was that he wasn't forced to associate with everyone, and he also didn't have to worry about everything that people were saying. He was convinced he was going to lose hair over this, this worrying about what everyone else thought.

Was he wearing the right thing? Was he listening to the right music? Would his friends still like him, even when he went back to school?

Oh god. All of it was too much. Too much pressure, too much to worry about.

Wait, what was he thinking about before? Oh. That's right. School. He was nervous for school. So nervous in fact, that he couldn't get himself to finish his breakfast. Which was a bagel, with cream cheese. Right? Yeah. Right. School started soon for him, act 8 actually, which meant her really just needed to pull it together. Maybe he could eat in the car?

"Dad!" He was pulling his books together while he was talking, trying to balance a bagel in his hand at the same time. "Dad! I need a ride to school!" His dad yelled something down the stairs, but he couldn't quite make it out. Really, the only part that he understood was the part where his dad told him that he was too busy to take him to school. He let out a huff, pushing a hand nervously through his hair. "Yeah. Alright." He said, pulling his backpack onto his shoulders. "I'll just walk."

He liked walking. It gave him time to clear his brain, which was just what he needed in the morning. Besides, he couldn't be mad at his dad for not taking him to school. He was just busy working. Parents were always working, and his dad's work needed full attention. He didn't have time to take Peter to school. He was just earning money so that he could take care of Peter. Because he loved him.
Yeah. Because he loved him.

Out Of Character:

Ahhhhh. Hi, I'm Jesse. Applications make me seriously nervous, so excuse anything that sounds off! I've been role playing for six years now, but I haven't been in a group RP in a long time. You just get caught up with your usual role playing buddies, you know?
Anyways, you can always contact me on my msn, which is [e-mail]. Just add me. But you might want to tell me you're from here, since I wont accept if I dont know who you are.

You had me from the first line of the appearance! It was catchy and I just knew the rest of the application would be entertaining as well. I enjoy how you tied in bits of his personality into the appearance especially like his nervousness. It made me want to read on and I wasn't disappointed by the personality. The fact that his disorder controlled him is very likely and realistic, but different in the fact that it's a bit rare. He fits his clique well with his stuck up attitude too.

The history was definitely the most astonishing part of the application. I didn't see it coming and was shocked by the reasons behind his disorder, though they were extremely legitimate and would cause something like his disorder to be the outcome. Wow. And the fact that it isn't his past and is still happening will make for extremely interesting plots and a very deep character. Accepted! I loved it!
