MUSE
Muse’s Name: Maxwell “Tweek” Tweak Physical Description: 5'9" with green eyes. Pretty slim and kinda pale but not unhealthily. Usually has bags under his eyes. Covered in freckles, and scars all over his fingers and hands from accidental mug shatterings. Self-harm scars line the inside of his forearms from trying to focus on something other than the voices. Messy ass blond hair, and missing one and a half fingers on his right hand that got caught in a coffee grinder a few years ago. (A sentimental memento of my first ever Tweek muse.) Background: Tweek’s always known about the meth and cocaine his dad puts in their two ‘special’ blend the coffee house serves. Tweak blend Death Wish. it’s been a constant pretty much since he was born so he’s never??? Actually considered it as odd?? It’s very rare that he indulges, he just knows it’s their most expensive blend and makes them good bank. He also knows to not give it to kids and obviously that it gets customers high. Tweek’s issues pretty much just kept escalating since the 4th grade and his parents continued to assume that he was just a spazz with ADD no matter what odd ticks he developed. His only solid source of support was Craig, his boyfriend from 4th-8th grade. What happened with that and the actual end-date TBD with Craig mun. He spent his middle school years missing half his classes in a panic, but managed to turn that around once high school came around. He actually turned out to be pretty smart when his mind isn’t glazed over with anxiety or other things. He joined the drama club in High School and was actually really, really good at it and got a lot of lead roles in the school plays. Personality: Tweek is terrified of or worried about most things. He can be pretty frank and reply to things flatly at times, especially if he hasn’t had coffee or slept in a while. Tweek is an unreliable narrator and over-exaggerates so keep that in mind when he’s freaking out about something. He’s probably spinning more onto it than there actually is.He has a surprisingly decent sense of humor and is very competitive. He usually lets loose in online games way more than real life because he knows the consequences are a lot less severe and he can go all out without fear. He’s a feisty fucker that won’t hesitate to fight someone if they piss him off bad enough and frequently carries around a pocket knife because it makes him feel more comfortable. He’s shockingly extroverted, and WILL make his opinions known regardless of who is around or who he’s disagreeing with. He weirdly likes being the center of attention so long as that attention is positive. Acting has become his passion since he did so well with his and Craig’s fake break up in the hallway in 4th grade.

SAMPLE PARA
Fingernails chewed short drum on the surface of the counter as the morning rush filters through the coffee shop. Tweek’s sleepless eyes stay trained on the glass door, desperate for the minute hand to finish its cycle. Two minutes.
Years of practice leaves the shaky seventeen year old breaking far fewer mugs than he did in his childhood, a fact that his father makes a point to underhandedly praise him for. He doesn’t take it well. It rings in his ears as a reminder of past failures rather than current successes, and considering it’s been months since he last broke anything he’s sure it was malicious.
Man, he can’t wait to get out of here.
Tik, tok, tik, tok the clock goes until finally, finally, it hits the number he was waiting for. He belts out, in a voice practiced to be higher than natural for him, “It’s time for school!” and barely stops himself from vaulting over the counter. He moves around it instead, the more fun option too dangerous, as his father comes out from the back to take over.
He snags the backpack he’d left at the edge of the counter and rushes out onto the sidewalk. Never, never the street. Blue-green eyes dart away from the pavement and he hurries himself along across town.
Except, the moment he rounds the corner of his usual route, something is different. He thinks it’s Craig, for a fraction of a second. Dark hair, and intense bored eyes belonging to the guy he nearly slammed into- but Craig hasn’t met him on the way to school since freshman year and these eyes aren’t the cold stormy grey he knows. These eyes burn unnaturally red. Damien.
