Name: Jonathan Sharp
Nicknames: Jon. Sometimes he gets called 'dude' in a sarcastic or annoyed way due to his tendency to lean on this word.
Gender: Male
Age: 19
Sign: Libra
Height/body type: Tall and extremely skinny; he has a naturally fast metabolism that devours food and seems to take almost no sustenance from it. Sometimes, if he doesn't eat enough, he gets light headed and collapses.
Eye color: Green
Hair color/style: Deep green, long because he's too lazy to cut it, and frequently in need of a wash.
Style/fashion: Whatever's clean.
Goals: What now?
Fav. Food: Mallowmars. He's not fond of the knock off store brand marshmallow smore cookies either; Jon really likes the original, and has been known to go through a whole box in one sitting. He starts by eating the graham cracker from the bottom, then shoves the whole goey marhsmallowy top into his mouth at once, because he has determined through numerous, extremely high conversations that they taste better this way.
Hated Food: Coffee. Not that this stops him from drinking it, of course, because there are times when you really need a morning pick-me-up. However, he'd prefer a Coke or some other carbinated goodness, and will only drink his coffee saturated with sugar and so much milk it turns pale.
Gift: Jon has a way with numbers that borders on the supernatural. This manifests in small ways like the ability to add or multiply large sums in his head in a heartbeat [a useful skill for entertaining people, certainly, but not much else in the age of calculators], in medium ways like the eerie way he always seems aware of exactly how many people are in a room or how many paper cups will be needed at a party [he considers this an extremely useful skill], and in large ways like his innate grasp on complex mathematical concepts and the easy way he gobbles up new theories. He also counts somewhat thoughtlessly and obsessively -- stairs, bricks, petals on flowers, letters in names.
Virtues: Chill - He's inherently good natured and hard to rattle, bending instead of breaking when pressure is applied and more than willing to go with the flow of whatever's going on around him. Add to his easy-going nature a fondness for a certain weed, and Jon's one of the most relaxed and unperturbed guys you've ever met. He smiles and shrugs and puts people at ease with his own confidence that everything's alright, and things happen for a reason. By the by, you want a toke?
Thoughtful - Very rarely does Jon do or say something without thinking about it first. He's unlikely to explode with some stupid comment in the heat of an tense conversation, instead chewing on his words or just wisely keeping his mouth shut. He won't charge blindly around corners or into battles. He might make the wrong decision, but at least he
thinks about it first, and is aware that he's being a total moron.
Funny - Jon tends toward a wry, deadpan sense of humor, less cracking jokes and making an a** of himself and more opening his mouth at just the right moment with an astute observation. It's not the kind of funny that leaves people in stitches, but the kind that takes them aback and leaves them grinning later, when they think back on it. A pervasive humor that comes across well on paper.
Flaws: Unmotivated - There's very little in Jon's life that draws him forward. Math interests him, but he wants to know more of it for the sake of knowing more. He has no goals for the future, he's put no thought into what he'll do when schooling is done, and his easy-going nature keeps him from worrying about it. Annoyed admonishments that he has to get his life on the right track fall on deaf ears.
Disconnected - While Jon is social enough, willing to sit with people at lunch, chat, go to parties, study groups, knows a lot of people by name, he has a much harder time making real connections with other people. He doesn't remember ever having a 'best friend' to speak of, just a bunch of acquaintances and buddies with similar interests who all did things together. He's never been in a relationship, and has never shown any real interest in getting into one. Inwardly, though, sometimes he wonders if there's some part of himself that's broken and wishes he could fix it.
Stoner - This could, perhaps, be the cause of his lack of motivation. Jon likes to smoke weed. Like, a lot. Uh. Yeah, pretty self-explanatory. It helps stop the jumble of numbers that marches through the back of his mind at all times, slows his counting to something manageable. Pot is his coping mechanism.
