Nickname: Zeke
Age: 15
Birthday: May 23
School: Hillworth Grammar School
Hobbies:
Dungeons and Dragons: Zeke LOVES D&D. He has every book, a box of hand painted figures, several dozen maps, and an entire campaign he's built from the ground up on his computer. He doesn't really care between Pathfinder or D&D, but agrees with most that 4.0 was a sham. He is currently signed up to beta test Pathfinder 2.0 and plays high INT and CHA spell casters almost exclusively.
Zoid Model Kits: If there is one thing Zeke loves more than D&D, it's building zoid kits. He's built almost every Kotobuyuki kit out on the market, and several of the old Tomy kits. He crafts them with painstaking care, sanding each piece and painting before assembly. He even reinforces the looser Koto kits, and has begun to build custom zoids with part sheets he's found on ebay. His parents don't necessarily approve, but it keeps him out of trouble and at least he'd doing something with his time.
Virtues: [ Courageous, McGyver Wizard ]
Courageous: For all his anxiety, Zeke has a heart of courage. He may fret and worry and freak out about new things, but he somehow always builds the courage to go do the thing, be it talk to someone new, take up a new club, ask his parents for things, you name it. If no one in the group wants to raise their hand or step forward, you'll find tiny Zeke doing it instead. It does lead him into trouble sometimes, and not every time he drums up the courage does he follow through on it, but it's the trying that counts to him.
Deft Hands, Quick Thinking: Give Zeke a problem and he will come up with a solution using two paperclips, a hair band, and the circuit board he pilfered from your calculator. He's quick with his hands and even quicker with his thinking, which may or may not be a good thing depending on the situation. Not all of his solutions work either, but it's given him fast reflexes and the ability to think on his feet to changing situations.
Flaws: [ Smol and Anxious, Tries Too Hard ]
Smol and Anxious: Beneath his courage and his quick thinking is a mind constantly full of worry and panic. Is he making a good impression, is he doing well on this test, is he going to get in trouble again, will this thing even work, and on and on and on ad-nauseum. He is a ball of panic all the time, and his fingers are torn to shreds constantly because of it. Some finger is always bleeding or bandaged, and it takes him longer than most to make decisions. At its worse, Zeke is completely paralyzed by this panic and fear, unable to even speak much less do anything. He's.... working on it. Slowly. Kinda.
Tries Too Hard: Coupled with his anxiety is an intense need to try as hard as he possible can, regardless if he's already doing that. He is constantly trying to impress his friends, to show his teachers he's capable, to show his parents he's fine. He trips over himself and works himself half to death trying to do the best he can. It's definitely noticeable that he tries too hard, and finds himself alienated or given weird looks more often than not.

Hair: Shaggy yet up kept in a dark green color
Face: A little thin, like Zeke doesn't eat much
Skin Tone: Your standard 'I burn in the sun after 10 mintues' white skin
Body Type: Short for his age, only around 5'5" and he looks a little on the thin side. He's very 'twiggy' for a boy.
Clothes: Zeke tries to look dapper, but when your uniform is just a little too big even on the small sizes, it's kind of hard.
