Name: Blake Hunter Allison
Nickname: ...how do you shorten ‘Blake’? Victoria Collins says 'Blakey' but he will seriously not tolerate that from anyone an iota less hot than Vicky Collins.
Age: 20
Birthday: November 27th
Sign: Saggitarius
Gemstone: Turquoise
Blood Type: O+
Fav. Food: Buffalo wings, the hotter the better! Spicy foods in general are the way to go, but not really Latin food. Has to have hot sauce!
Hated Food: Mashed potatoes, baked potatoes. Flavorless potatoes make Blake cry.
School: Destiny City University
Hobbies:
Kicking Things Up a Notch! ~ Blake likes his food almost dangerously spicy, in ways that would make any doctor tell him that he’ll have ulcers in about five years from all the heat he puts in his belly. But since just dousing things in hot sauce gets old after awhile, Blake took his culinary needs into his own hands and learned how to cook. It’s not something he really advertises, but he can cook just about anything...and make it so spicy it’ll melt your tongue. Blake can cook normal food as well if he really has to, but why would you want such bland food?!
Take Me Out to the Ball Game... ~ Blake learned early on that while he preferred to be as fit and athletic as possible, he did not quite enjoy broken bones. So while he could run fast enough for football, the first broken arm he got as a running back was enough to put him off the field forever. Track was too boring, and soccer was just European football! Baseball was all that was left so Blake took to it like a fish to water...a freshwater fish in salt water, that is. It took three years and a whole lot of work, but the teen was finally good enough to land a place on a college team! So now he goes to DCU on baseball scholarship and dedicates a good amount of time to his sport. Playing, practicing, watching, talking about it? He’s game!
Jenga! ~ What? He likes Jenga! There’s no real reason to it, Blake likes Jenga.
Virtues:
Prince Midas ~ Midas was blessed with the golden touch, Blake was blessed with a golden tongue. Sure he worked hard to get his scholarship like everyone else, yet it’s a guarantee that he snagged it more through his interview than any other real merit. Yeah he’s not a star, and he’ll never be a star, but everyone on the team knows Blake and generally likes him. He’s never had trouble with girls, his parents trust him...and they shouldn’t. This guy knows what to say, when’s the right time to say it, and how to make it work! Except when he panics, of course. Then things jumble and Blake becomes rather familiar with the taste of ‘shoe’.
If You Can Dream It, You Can Do It! ~ Don’t let his disastrous personal relationships fool you! Blake has the firm belief, proven by his baseball success, that anything he puts his mind to he can achieve. Now that might not be entirely true, but for moderate things why not?! He spends a lot of time achieving - making friends, playing ball, he’s even a student ambassador for freshmen students at the college this year! His grades aren’t the best in the world, but he has a solid 3.0 that he’s fairly proud of. Though he prefers a more active social life, he would never abandon his academic standing for such a thing. If his grades drop, he can’t play ball, and his parents also will stop paying for his lodging. That’s pretty good motivation, and Blake thrives on motivation!
The flip side of this is that said motivation ties into the fact that he is incredibly average at best. He's an okay ball player, an okay student, a shitty friend. He wants to be a star, and is concrete in his belief that if he just tries harder it'll all work out! Also, Blake rarely has anything truly negative to say about anyone. He's an awful optimist and can always find the bright side of anything. He has to! After all, he's so mediocre that if he couldn't find the bright side, he would've given up a long time ago.
Be Cool, Cat ~ The secret to success is keeping your cool! Blake wasn’t just born with a golden tongue, he was born with the disposition to go with it. He hardly cried as a baby, and even as a toddler he was fairly unperturbed. There is a rather long streak of mischief in him though, but when he gets caught? Enh! Happens! Very few things really get to Blake, he’s just too cool! The only things that can truly get to him are crying girls and failing at baseball. Tears and fears go hand in hand, and both will break his cool in no time flat!
Flaws:
Friends from a Distance ~ One of the benefits of Blake’s ease of speaking is the fact that he can work his way into the forefront of just about any situation. He’s an easygoing guy, cool, someone you want to be friends with! However, beware how easily he slips in! Without even a minute warning he’ll slip back out again and onto other things! Sure you’ll be besties for two weeks, three if you’re lucky! But then there’ll be that party, and that thing’ll happen, and he’ll vanish to go hang with those friends. You’ll run back into him in a month, he’ll barely remember.
Often, Blake wonders why he doesn’t really have anyone to turn to when things get rough and doesn’t realize that it’s his slippery as an eel tendencies that make his attachments nebulous at best. He thinks everything is wonderful, going absolutely amazing, but then he turns around and behind him is a list of people who have had lackluster friendships with him that they have no reason to want to continue. After all, fool me twice, shame on me! Ostensibly, girlfriends work the same way. Blake thinks he’s trying, but he’s just not trying hard enough.
Beneath the Gold, s**t ~ Something to be understood about Blake is that he is a total jackass when he isn’t putting effort towards being your buddy, especially when he’s already got a full plate. So when he’s not exactly lacking and has no reason to work for your affection, he could give a real damn about it. In fact, he’s a downright jackass.
You’re pissed because he was bangin’ you last week and now he’s hooking up with one of your best friends? He doesn’t give a s**t. At all. In fact he sorta enjoys your discomfort, because it sends you coming back for more and puts you more under his charismatic sway. Everyone knows the best way to get people to like you, is to treat them like s**t and ignore them in favor of other people. That way they’re more willing to do things that help you out.
And that’s the bottom line - What does Blake want? Because in the end, that’s all that really matters.
Mediocre at Best ~ Blake puts out the image that he’s a goddamn shining star and initially you’d think he was! He gets good grades, is a lettered athlete for the college, everyone knows him! But then you’d find out that his good grades are a solid B-average, he plays okay at best for the team, and well...the things that everyone says after awhile sorta tarnish his reputation. It’s not quite a secret that he’s a bit of a use ‘em and lose ‘em jackass, but it’s not exactly common knowledge either.
Basically, Blake is just mediocre. Yeah, he’s good enough to get by and will probably do just fine in life. But he’ll never be a shining star, and that grates on him so hard that it’s a good part of the reason why he’s such a using jackass. Being with a group of fresh faces where they think he is the reason the sun rises in the morning is how he gets through the day! It constantly bites him in the a**, but there’s just no helping it.
Blake is Mediocre at Best.
