--Banner Banner--  Name: Adrian Grey
Nickname: Grey
Age: 22
Birthday: June 9th, 1993
Sign: Gemini
Gemstone: Pearl
Blood Type: A-
Fav. Food: Anything that can be made or microwaved in under five minutes that is quick to eat and usually plain. Breads, Most Raw Vegetables and Fruits, Fast Food of the burger variety, though his burgers tend to only have cheese on it.
Hated Food: By default, anything that takes longer than five minutes for him to make. But out of the quick-to-eat foods, he can't stand asparagus, sushi, or candy. Chips are okay, Candy...not so much.
School: Hillworth Grammar School, previously attended Meadowview High School. Uniform Image here
Reason for Expulsion: Adrian was known for doing...pretty stupid things. He was put under warnings for rollerblading indoors, and once on a free period he attempted to go down a staircase on a rolling chair on the suggestion of a friend. He had several little warnings against him for reckless behaviour, but he was finally suspended when he lit a bunsen burner during science class, and let the gas fume for a while before lighting a flint nearby. The mini explosion that followed set fire to his desk (luckily he was the only one using it), and singed a bit of his hair and uniform. His expulsion came later, when he forgot the end date of his suspension and was caught 'trespassing' on school grounds. He was transferred to Hillworth, and now lives in the dorms.
Hobbies:
Kick Boxing: It is an extremely high energy sport and does force him to push his physical limitations, and really the only sport he actively and routinely takes part in. Adrian's Father is the reason behind this, of course. He spotted early on that his son was...rather easily distracted when it came to interests and schedules, and when Adrian approached him about this particular sport, he made him a deal. He could sign up for kickboxing, but if he misses a Kick boxing session, he will be put under house arrest for two days, except if a kickboxing session occurs on one of two said days. Adrian has been attending these classes since he was thirteen.
Indoor Rock Climbing: Rock Climbing was a randomly acquired hobby that he actually picked up from his Uncle Cray. While Cray was babysitting a ten year old Adrian, he took him along to an Indoor Climbing facility, and ever since the pair go at least once a week. They have competitions, and so far Adrian has only been able to win against his agile Uncle only a handful of times. He really wishes to go Rock Climbing for real one day...
Rollerblading: Adrian was first given a pair of roller skates in Grade Five. His class was going to a Valentine's Day Roller Skating 'Dance', and he didn't want to rent a pair. By Grade Seven, he had them switched out for a pair of roller blades, and they have since become his favourite method of transportation. He currently possesses a well worn pair that look like This.
Swing Dancing: It hasn't yet become an established 'hobby', but he does seem to be going to these classes more often than not. He found an add for introductory classes in a newspaper, and has been attending once a week on average. If he had a constant partner to force him to go more often, he just might!
Virtues:
Adventurous: Adrian has a love for doing really outlandish things. He is incredibly brave and will face almost every challenge that comes his way. If it seems interesting, anyway. For example, he'd take rollerblading down a hand rail before eating food off of the ground. Speaking of rollerblading, one of his short term goals is to do this (alternate shot: here!). When it comes to being around other people, he will definitely do his best to have them join him in his wayward adventures. While an activity could be fun when done by himself, having someone else to share the memory is also preferred.
Cheerful: By default, Adrian is expressive and in good spirits. He is generally high on life, and in the past his friends have metaphorically fed off of his energy to try and keep up with him. Unless he is tired, he treats nearly every person to a cheerful smile. Certainly, this trait of his could aid him in getting a friend or acquaintance to go along with him on his adventures, should one arise.
Sincere: Adrian is quite incapable of pulling off a convincing lie. He will never directly promise something unless he has every single intention of keeping it. He would flat out say 'I promise' to the true promises he makes. Everything else gets different wording like 'I'll try my best' or 'See you later'. Unless you know him or notice that he does this, it may be hard to judge if he's truly making his promise to definitely be there, or if he's promising to just try and be there. If for whatever reason he manages to miss out on something he said he would do, well...he really does feel bad about it when confronted as to why he wasn't there. He really didn't mean to flake, and he'll really try to not do it again.
Flaws:
Impatient: Adrian absolutely detests waiting. His usual limit with anything is five minutes; if he has to wait more than five minutes on his own in silence, he'll either go elsewhere, attempt to find something interesting to pass the time with, or leave all together. If there is someone else with him that he considers interesting or a friend, his limit usually gets pushed to ten minutes before alternate actions need to be taken. When in school, Adrian is just short of incredibly distracted. If given the chance he will stand up and move around, and if not, he taps his heel against the floor, his pen against his paper, and generally fidgets. If he takes notes, they are usually half-assed unless the topic interests him. When it comes to dying his hair, he only does it when his niece, Hera, is over. Since he can play with her while the dye sets.
Reckless: There is a thin line between Adventurous and Reckless, and Adrian has crossed it several times before. His Bravery often gets him into trouble, whether it's with his Parents, the Law, or Personally. He has walked away from such reckless times with Hospital stays, several broken bones, and countless bruises and cuts.
Unreliable: While Adrian never intends on breaking a commitment, he is the type who will be on their way to meet someone, but spot something interesting along the way and wander off to do that. Then he loses track of time, and after a while realizes...Oh s**t, he's late (or missed it entirely!). He has been late to outings, stood up his friends, flaked out on competitions, and unless there is someone else there to pull him along or to lure him into dedicating himself to a particular task, his team work generally suffers.
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
Eyes: Electric Blue, a little on the wider side though they are usually slightly arched to accompany a grin, or closed all together.
Hair: Naturally blonde but dyed pumpkin orange, layered starting near his ears, the longest pieces of hair reaching his shoulders. His hair looks wind blown or at least constantly messy, and usually wears a pair of Aviation Goggles on his head like a headband.
Face: Heart-shaped and slender, smaller ears, usually with his MP3 ear buds in them.
Clothes: Either something like This or This. His shoes are skateboard shoes, and are either flat black or checkered.
