Name: Arastoo Pymedegauso
Nicknames: Aristotle
*, Ara
*Arastoo being an iranian variation of the greek name Aristotle, it completely defeats the purpose, but few people know that.Gender: Male
Age: 17
Fav. Food: grilled steaks. Grapes.
Hated Food: hamburgers. Spaghettis, which are just the most unorganized food EVER.
Gift: Maths. Arastoo is a mathematical genius. He understands the underlying logic behind equations like it were his mother language. Geometry, arithmetic, about everything involving numbers is fair game. Ironically, it is most impressive at Sudoku. He can fill a whole page in a couple minutes, and it would take him a third of that time if he could write down numbers instantly.
Virtues: Zen – If he ever started meditation, he could probably reach Nirvana, or something. Nothing really angers him. Every problem can be solved with well-thought arguments. Or ignored. Of course, that doesn’t mean he loves everyone; as a matter of fact, he hates a lot of teens his age. But he states the fact quietly, and doesn’t yell at you. Ever. Even when he yells, he is a paragon of self-control and serenity, really.
Tolerant – Arastoo doesn’t really care who you are. He doesn’t care what you do, as long as you have a rational excuse. Only acts matter. He knows he can come off as weird to others, and that’s why he won’t mind if you do, in fact, look weirder than him.
Polite – He very rarely swears. He holds the door for you. He lets you go first. He doesn’t interrupt you. Unless you’re very familiar with him, Arastoo just shows you how well he’s been brought up; and even towards his close friends, he will apologize whenever he does, in fact, have to interrupt them.
Flaws: Obsessive-compulsive disorder – With him, it’s not just a disorder; it’s a
fact of life. About everything has to be put in just the right way. Problem? His right way isn’t always the most obvious one. He sees mathematical patterns
EVERYWHERE. There are numbers he hates for some reason, and avoids. Straight lines are overrated. Etc. Don’t try to please him by tidying up everything, he’ll just hate you because those pencils aren’t supposed to be in this order at all, are you blind or just stupid?!
Err, yeah, also, he believes those patterns are extremely obvious. They are to him only.
Predictive – So, he sees patterns. He believes he can predict the future in some way thanks to this, or at least people’s reactions. Since he’s not a super-computer, he forgets to take in account every single data that could have to do with a specific situation. And since he never studied psychology either, he can be awfully bad at understanding humans. Even though he fails frequently, every single correct prediction will be considered as a proof his reasoning is right. Errors are brushed away and forgotten quickly.
Socially awkward – Just because he’s polite doesn’t mean he knows what’s inappropriate. “I’m truly sorry, miss, but you appear to be sweating a lot. May I suggest you to take off that sweater? I don’t think anybody else will see your bra is stuffed with handkerchieves under just that T-shirt, don’t worry.”
Pfeh, people are just so complicated and chaotic. In doubt, he just shuts up, but it is still all very confusing.
