And now that I've actually added something to the thing that needs working on, I decided that I might as well give this story a math teacher xD

As for the drawing, it originally started out as a practice doodle and turned into a character and I was just like, "Hey, why not?" so the style isn't the one for the comic (and that also explains why he looks like he's 17 or somethin' pffff)

Name: Varen Gupta

Commonly referred to as: Mr. Gupta

Age: 25

Race/Ethnicity: Indian

Teaches: Mathematics

General information: Mr. Gupta is fairly new to his teaching jobs and had only just gotten his masters degree a year before he applied for a teaching position at the art school. Before then, he'd been doing substitute teaching and so this is his first year in a full time teaching job.

MBTI type: INFJ

Personality: Mr. Gupta is very passionate about teaching and mathematics, and wants to do his best to make sure that everyone can get the most out of his class as they can. He's willing to stay after hours to help tutor students who may be struggling and is always happy to answer any questions that his students ask. If someone is failing his class he does his best to bring them back up to speed with the rest of the class. However, sometimes he can be so concentrated on helping these people that he can stress himself out. As a teacher, he tries to make math interesting even for the students who dislike it (yet again, more stress on him) and makes sure to challenge his students without loading them up with work. He's not normally one to stray off the topic that he's teaching either. He's doesn't talk much about his personal life and would prefer to discuss other topics instead. Though he's not the person you'd usually find at parties and social gatherings, Mr. Gupta is more of a one-on-one type of person who's willing to listen to what other people have to say (including other adults). Though he's a math teacher, he never minds hearing anecdotes from his students.

Physical description: 5'8", oval face shape, dark brown hair and eyes, lighter brown skin, braces, rectangular glasses, often wears somewhat odd looking colour combinations when it comes to clothing, likes jackets

Likes: Math, his students, his job (BLASPHEMY!), spicy food (all dat flavor doe), MULTICOLORED JACKETS, 50's rock and roll music, reading (genre doesn't matter), documentaries

Dislikes: When his students don't appreciate his work, getting things wrong, scarves, winter, the scent of crayons (I'm actually stealing this trait from one of my 7th grade teachers eheheh)

Strengths: Maths (no dur), making things interesting, helping others (with school and drama, y'know)

Weaknesses: Drawing (los estudiantes no les gusta esto porque es una escuela del arte), fashion, athletic stuff (he's a teacher, what do you expect?), handling gross stuff (he won't be the one to clean up your vomit if you get sick)

Other: Gets cold easily (I don't care if that's usually women pfffff), often prone to catching colds during the winter
