⌠ FELIX MALLARD, 21, NONBINARY, HE/THEY ⌡ welcome back to gallagher academy, GERALD BANKS! according to their records, they’re a FIRST year, specializing in UNDECIDED; and they DID go to a spy prep high school. when i see them walking around in the halls, i usually see a flash of (dangerous pure - boy gaze, lazy arrogance, perked interest). when it’s the (aquarius)’s birthday on 02/14/2000, they always request their SHEPHERD’S PIE from the school’s chefs. looks like they’re well on their way to graduation.
life before gallagher
gerald banks grew up in a legacy household with certain expectations attached to the money and the status
when those kinds of things are attached to your family name ‘ banks junior ’ sounds pretty good. eventually dropping it to just ‘ banks ’ himself. he always hated the name gerald anyway.
he was en route to graduating on top of his class at faircrest prep until his dad, the original ‘ banks ’ got killed in a car accident
his escape was skateboarding. it got him out of his head and into a crowd that accepted him for who he was not who his family was. he often kept his life a secret, not even allowing that group of friends to know what school he really went to - a spy prep school
when it came time to leave for gallagher, banks disappears on his pals without so much as a note because he’s bad with goodbyes. he still feels guilty about it
pretty much estranged from his family having lost respect for his mother when she remarried, but he still calls her on holidays
life at gallagher
tattoos can be covered up by their uniform or a proper fit
he says he only wears vintage, but it’s only because 90% of his closet is his dad’s old wardrobe
it makes him look like an over - privileged skater boy, wearing designer and making gallagher’s streets a concrete runway
where his family name previously made him want to hide, he’s standing tall now
he’s decided if he’s going to stay in this life, he might as well own it and make his dad proud
he’s back to getting the grades he did before his dad passed, but it now includes a bit more manipulation than it did when he actually tried
he doesn’t get close to people often but when he does he’d die for them
he uses his anger management issues to the benefit of his friends, always defending and sticking up for them
he’s sexually fluid, though he doesn’t feel the need to flaunt it or let everyone know
