I'M SORRY THIS TOOK SO LONG, PAR! I'M A LAZY BUTT!



Name: Garet Boozer (Garrin reminded me too much of Darren)

Gender: Male

Age: 15

Birthday: December 14th

Ethnic group(s): Half Latino

MBTI type: ISFP

Positive personality traits: Imaginitive, passionate and enthusiastic about his work, open to new friendships, independent, observant

Negative personality traits: Violent, rude, low attention span, unpredictable, tends to act cocky around others, easily stressed

Character overview: Garet falls into the category of a "hipster," which basically means that he goes out of his way to be different from others and refuses to like things that others like. Even if something is popular because it's an awesome thing he'll purposefully pretend to be interested in something else (though his basic views are very similar to a majority of the media). He also has one of those, "If it feels good then do it" attitudes, which tends to drive a lot of people crazy, and this is particularly applicable to teachers because he rarely does his work and finds it to be a "waste of his talent."

His artwork tends to have extremely grotesque elements to it as well so that he can make a statement. They don't even really relate to past tragic historic events such as the bubonic plague or the holocaust, but are normally representational of different emotions (even if most people would argue that they're inaccurate). Most of the teachers are worried about this tendency and constantly question how he was raised.

Garet actually has a low self esteem, but covers it up by overdosing on narcisism in front of others. He forcefully tries to boost his ego by essentially convincing himself that he's better than everyone and his attitude thus leaves him vulnerable to criticism in both aspects. He feels as though any criticism given to his thoughts or his work is automatically a threat or insult directed at him and therefore reacts impulsively and rudely to whoever made the comment.

Physical description: 5'10", longish black hair that falls over his eyes, tan skin, acne, pointy nose, often unmatching (or vintage) clothing, skinny jeans, fake glasses

Likes: Whatever you don't like

Dislikes: Whatever you like

Strengths: Conceptual work, collages, improvision, understanding things by observation

Weaknesses: Completing work, getting on people's good sides, patience, understanding himself (SO DEEP)

Other: Says he's bisexual (even though he's not actually), hates it when people call him "Gary," prefers to be called "Garridan"
