Welcome to Gaia! ::

Name: Tea Frederickson

Nickname: Tea prefers not to use them but a lot of them include "Oolong", "Rooibos" and "Bush" or "Shayman" much to his eternal displeasure.

Age: 20

Birthday: January 1st

Sign: Capricorn! Baaa.

Gemstone: Garnet - he rarely wears it unless someone he cares for gives it to him however.

Blood Type: Phloam AB-, surprisingly.

Fav. Food: Kebabs, especially those from Middle Eastern restraunts, lamb, and, well, anything from the Middle East. He's also fond of some Russian treats, and Indian food.

Hated Food: Tripe, some Peruvian foods, greasy meals - and let's not even get into the damage to his pride messy food leaves.

School: Sovereign Heights Prep School

Hobbies:

Dancing - Tea enjoys dancing. Not usually the stuff you find in clubs or parties but traditional dances. He often takes classes to learn a waltz or tango or similar and will usually be pretty happy talking to others about if he's been dancing lately or not. It's mostly something to do to spend time without wasting his mind, and he's rather fond of the activity.

Spaaaaace! - Tea loves space. It is a closet obsession he's absolutely ashamed of because it's 'nerdy' but he rather finds spending time learning about the universe away from Earth fascinating. He often sneaks to the planetarium to learn or reread or otherwise oogle, watches 'The Universe' when able, owns a space atlas, and makes asteroids and constellations and planets and more his business. He'll still never admit being a 'nerd' but somehow he persistantly gets more space things, or knows more about it than most.

Virtues

Doesn't give up easily
Gonna stand out above the crowd
When Tea has a plan, goal, or something he wants, he's very hard to shake off. He'll keep working and working on a task until he has it, working towards a goal until he's on top, and by God there is little that will stop him from getting what he wants. While things like personal limitations orthe impossibility for solution might stop him, he will find a way if one existys and keep pressing at something until successful

Loyal
Friends never say goodbye.

Once Tea likes you, you're stuck with his friendship for life. While it's not easily given, Tea is a loyal friend, who may sometimes take the underhanded route to do what's needed. Tea's loyalty sometimes causes him to be a twit, but by and large most people appreciate the extra effort he makes, the care he shows for those he's loyal to -- and the fact they know without question he's never going anywhere even when things seem to fall apart.


Truthful
I'm gonna be your bubblegum b***h!

Tea is rather truthful when he speaks. While he may avoid the truth and be indirect, he usually speaks the truth as he sees it and makes an honest effort at avoiding telling lies. He'll usually state a fact even if it's obvious he disagrees with it, and he'll cut the bullshit to deliver hard truth when the showboating is doing no favors. Generally, even if disliked, the truthfulnerss he aims for is usually regarded well, even when he tries to cover it up with something else.

Flaws:


Doesn't give up when he really needs to
Gonna stand out till you notice me
Tea is persistant as hell and latches to ideas and things like a honey badger. While his inability to let go easily is a good thing normally, he obsesses and will not quit without finding that one obscure route to what he wants. Very few people can tell him no without him blowing them off, and he will persist until he (or the rare friend he's close to) manage to convince him it is complete or unattainable... And he gets very combative if you aren't himself or his friends about giving up.

Secretive
My castles stand on pillars of salt and pillars of sand.

Tea doesn't like sharing things, even the truth, at times - not regarding himself. Tea tends to hide infgormation by refusing to share, or by making information complicated so people give up trying. While it's not because he's private so much as he doiesn't like some toipics picked at, it can bother people. He generally prefers to not share it all nor volunteer information as much as he can and kind of doesn't care if it bothers someone, barring the people he actually cares for.

Vainly Bombastic
Some minor adjustnents darling, not for my vanity, but for humanity!

Tea is a bad combination of vain and a shopwboat. He's great, he knows it, and he will peacock until you know it. And if he's not showing himself off, he's showing the people he cares for off, if they like it or not. He's theatric, he's in love with showing himself off, and he will tell you all of his best points with the fanfare he feels due him. Which is to say, a lot. And his people, too. Don't like it?... Probably. Does he care?....Nope.
