THE BOY (MAN?)
Name: Barnaby Price
Nicknames: Price, BARNABY ALEXANDER PRICE WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?!
Age: 19 *
* Repeated grade 1 when he changed schools (he couldn't colour between the lines okay >: )
Birthday: March 23rd
Sign: Aries
Blood Type: B
School: Meadowview High School
Fav. Food: The breakfast of champions, of course! Pop-tarts (they come in so many different flavours!)
Hated Food: A teenage boy? Hating food? Really? Actually, to be completely honest he gets kind of sick of pizza once he's finished with his work (he's a pizza delivery boy).
Hobbies: While Barnaby does jump around between clubs, sports teams, and anything else available to him, he does have several activities he tends to fall back on should he be completely and utterly bored. This includes:
~ Baseball- Though he does enjoy all sports that have an element of activity and testosterone, baseball is definitely Barnaby's favourite. It's also the only game he's ever spent time practicing, and is a decent pitcher if he could keep his mind on the game. Of all the sports teams he's signed up for, he attends baseball practice the most out of any other.
~ His motorcycle- Whether it's just going out for a joy ride or spending hours in his garage cleaning it, Barnaby loves his motorcycle. It is his pride and joy, and she (as he proudly refers to her) can outrun any car under any conditions. And no, he totally doesn't deliver pizza on her. At least, when his boss is watching.
~ Racing games- Roleplay games? Boring. MMOs? Naw. Racing games? Now you're talking! Barnaby collects racing video games on all platforms. Anything from podracing to street take-out-the-pedestrians racing, you name it and he probably has it. He especially loves the racing booths at movie theatres and gaming arcades, enjoying the thrill of feeling as though he's in a real car.

Gemstone: Aquamarine/Bloodstone

VIRTUES
Hey man, what's up? -- Whether it's one person or fifty, he's very comfortable around people. He'll talk to just about anyone who looks like they need someone to chat with, about any topic he can think of. While it's improbable that Barnaby would be friends with everybody, he certainly makes the effort to be friendly to anybody he meets.
Movin' at the speed of light -- Always on the move, Barnaby makes sure to pack his schedule tight so he's always got things to do. A bored Barnaby is a dangerous Barnaby, and he's learned that if he wants to stay out of trouble he had best keep himself occupied. He tends to show up randomly for various clubs and sport teams, and though he is actually on the members list he frequently rotates what he's doing to keep himself fully interested. A hands-on learner, he likes to experience as many things as possible, and thus his friends have come to expect him to pick up a new hobby every week. Very rarely does he ever stick with something long enough to be good at it – nor does he seem to have natural talent in anything but baseball – but he likes just doing things, and he'll give anything a try when offered.
Did you need something? -- Are you lost? Cat's stuck in a tree? No money for the subway? Barnaby's the guy that people will look to first. He doesn't exactly know what it is about him that makes him so easy to ask things, but for whatever reason he's had no shortage of requests in his lifetime. Perhaps he just looks like a nice guy. Regardless, he'll gladly take time out of his day to help someone in need. He will follow through something until the end (provided you could get all of his attention in the first place) and isn't stingy when it comes to giving up his possessions or putting his talents to use.
I've got your back -- Barnaby shows he cares by going out of his way to ensure the safety of those around him. He'll gladly take the fall for his friends as well as fight for their honour. Nobody hurts his friends without consequences. He does not, however, like to be protected by women. Women are the protectors of children, and thus he is liable to see a protective act as condescending, as though the woman thinks of him as a child.
FLAWS
Now Listen Princess -- Girls are… well, girls for lack of a better description. They have all kinds of weird behaviours and as much as Barnaby has nothing against them he really doesn't get them. But that doesn't mean that he should just let them do whatever they want (and put themselves in potentially dangerous situations). Perhaps because he's had to "step up" as it were and be the man in his house, he frequently feels the need to impose this kind of relationship on all the girls he's friends with. Much like an over-protective brother, he's the first to tell a girl to just stand over there and let him handle it. Barnaby also has a hard time believing the fact that women (and girls) can actually fight, and has no problems telling them such. Heavy lifting, fighting battles, driving fast cars, and all those things are what he considers "man things" and he doesn't like it when girls start trying to impose on the "man domain." In fact, he flat out doesn't believe that they can do any of that kind of stuff, seriously underestimating their abilities. So why don't you just let him handle it, okay?
Fire-Starter -- YEAH PUNCH HIM AGAIN! HIT HIM HARDER! Far from the diplomat, Barnaby's the first to encourage other people to continue fighting, whether it be physical or verbal battles. He's the typical, testosterone-driven boy shouting from the sidelines, egging people on. At the same time, it is also very easy to egg him on, and he'll willingly jump into things if only because he's got someone cheering him on (easily influenced). Testosterone powers go!
Are we there yet? -- Impatient, impatient, impatient. Barnaby wants things done now and if they can't be done now then he's just going to leave and come back later. Waiting in long line ups, long car rides, getting stuck in traffic, and even people walking too slowly in front of him drive him practically up the wall. Being so antsy also makes it hard for him to sit still in class – something which has lead to him spending many lessons in the hallway – and for him to focus on something for an extended period of time. Why can't everything just happen now?
You got held back in the first grade?! -- Barnaby is caught in the unfortunate cycle of 'they tell me I'm stupid so I must be stupid', which started when he was in school and eventually seeped out into pretty much every other aspect of his life. Make no mistake, he's not book smart, being the kind of average Joe type of school boy (scraping by with some B's and a lot of C's). Being easily influenced, his repeated failures combined with the typical reaction from both peers and teachers have convinced him that it's not even worth his time to try anymore. Why put in the effort to get a C when he could do nothing and get one anyways? In short, he is a horrible underachiever, refusing to set goals too high for himself in fear of failure. (Weakness)
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
Eyes: Round, pretty average looking dark brown eyes
Hair: That kind of organized spiky hair (gelled to make nice points, etc), bright orange in colour. Barnaby keeps his hair short and out of the way to allow him to participate in all of his activities.
Face: Round face, average features, has one ear pierced
Body: The sort of lanky teenage body that's just started going towards
Fashion: Bright colours; clothes that are easy to put on and easy to kick off at night (he doesn't have the time or the patience to wear anything that requires a lot of time or effort to put on; he even still has velcro shoes). If it were up to him he'd probably just leave home in his pajamas, but that wouldn't be entirely socially acceptable.

Dalton Price: Part of International Relations in his company, Dalton spends most of his time overseas, helping to maintain working relationships with his company's clients. After several years of moving around, he finally decided that his family should stay in one place, for Barnaby's sake, and bought a house in Destiny City. He visits as often as he can, and makes sure to send emails and call home often. Barnaby had a good relationship with his father when he was younger, and continues to enjoy his company whenever Dalton returns home. Though they share little in common, both he and his father try to meet on some common ground, and avoid talking about subjects that could potentially ruin their bond (i.e. Barnaby's marks). [Father]
Evelyn Price: A genuinely kind-hearted woman, Evelyn is practically a second mother to everything that enters her house, whether it be animal, human, or otherwise. She works as a nurse in Destiny City, and though she misses her husband she appears to be glad to have finally settled down. Barnaby is not only her son but her only child, and thus she frequently spoils him. With Dalton gone, Barnaby has assumed the role of household male, trying hard to fill in his father's shoes and look out for his mother. They have a very good relationship - much better than he has with his father - and it is perhaps the one relationship that he cherishes above all else. [Mother]
Barnaby is an only child, and thus has no siblings. (This is also probably why he still lives with his parents).
Minnie Mouse: A Tibetan Mastiff mix of some kind, Minnie is the family's very large and fluffy dog. Aside from shedding all over the house, she doubles as an unofficial guard dog, and would walk Barnaby to school if he let her come with him. Also affectionately known as "Mini Wheats".

An older model of the Suzuki Bandit 650 series, Barnaby bought the bike off of an old neighbour who was moving out to college and didn't need it anymore. It's in good working condition with few scratches, and it serves as his transport wherever he needs to go. Though he has both his motorcycle and car licence he prefers the speed and agility of his Bandit, and rides it for as long as he can. He's even added a little back "grate" so to speak to allow him to carry pizza behind him, and can frequently be seen delivering pizza on it (just don't tell his boss). He affectionately calls her "The Scarlet Bandit."

Humans:
• Portia Hathaway - [WIP]
• Ellie Spectre – A girl from the garage with a bright yellow and black bike and an attitude to match. She's nice, but not very girly, you know? [Schoolmate]
• Elzo Xanis - Only the most epic bro in the world. He bought a pink tricycle for his brother for Christmas after we terrorized the entire store with it. Epic win. [Bro]
• Jesse Alvarez - A fanboy from the movie store with a thing for Gladiator. And other movies that Charys Murphy deems "homoerotic." He has a sic bike, so he's pretty cool, I guess. [Bro?]
• Jude Lawson - DDRs like a champ, also works at Larry's Pizza, and apparently can summon brown leggings on command (and a jungle, but leggings man). I'm not sure what to think anymore, but bros have to stick together I don't even know anymore... [RIP]
• Sue Gottschalk - A guy who is most definitely not scared of big dogs. I do feel kind of bad for startling you like that, but I'll try and make it up to you when you come to school. [Bro?]
• Yayha Grant - [WIP]
• Grayson Graves - A friend (maybe? Though enemy seems more likely) of Jude's that just came to work at Larry's Pizza with us. He's an idea man, but other than that, I dunno. [Bro?]

• Alexander Rivera - [WIP]
• Jada Chamberlyn - My tutor from Crystal. She's honest, which counts for something, and she doesn't seem like she'll freak out too much if I keep bombing tests. Maybe we can actually get somewhere. [Acquaintance]
