「dylan minnette & cis male」⇾ horowitz, rodney, the senior horton student’s records show that he is a libra and 21 years old. he is studying history, living in gorham and can be frenzied, adventurous, rowdy & inattentive. when i see him i am reminded of a basket of thrifted records with worn corners, books with splitting spines, and knee-high socks with stupid patterns. ⇽「perks & 24 & cst & she/her.」
the basics.
full name: rodney alan horowitz
nickname(s): prefers to be called rodney but most call him rod or roddy.
age / birthday: twenty-one / september 24th
gender identity / pronouns: cis male / he&him
sexuality: heterosexual
year of study / major: senior / history
occupation: gift shop associate @ A Zoo
distinguishing features: one dumb face and a small stick n’ poke larry niven quote on his upper arm (”never fire a laser at a mirror”).
personal style: rodney likes to be comfortable but he also likes to be the center of attention. bold colors, mixed fabrics, and t-shirts with you’d have to see the movie to get it quotes emblazoned across the chest are go-tos. he loves a good jogger paired with some sneakers and a ball cap. there’s absolutely no formalwear in his closet; he rents a suit if he needs one. he enjoys carrying around a beat-up backpack despite having nothing to put in it (textbooks? where?) and he won’t hesitate to rep swag from other schools if he got a good deal on it at a thrift shop near campus.
background & personality.
born in los angeles as one half of a pair but grew up in the san diego area until his family moved to philadelphia when he was ten.
his mom is a meteorologist and his dad’s a composer & music teacher.
along with his twin sister, he also has an adopted younger brother that is four years his senior and his parents just had a baby girl after rodney and his twin sister moved out bc they couldn’t deal with their nest growing smaller.
his childhood was a bit weird. his uncle has lived in their basement for a while now and with his father teaching music out of his home studio, the horowitz house always had people bustling in and out.
rodney’s always been a bit of a fuck up, especially compared to his twin sister. headcanon that he’s going to end up flunking out of college shy of a few credits but pretend i didn’t say anything.
he’s never really responded well to labels. he’s not an extrovert but he’s not an introvert either. he just exists somewhere in the middle, able to maintain a conversation with just about anyone without worrying about where it’s going but also not confident enough to approach the other party first.
he’s very touch and go with relationships. he’s had girlfriends here and there throughout the years but nothing ever sticks.
in an ideal world, rodney would keep the same group of friends for a lifetime. they'd never have a falling out, never leave him behind when they went on to bigger and better things while he keeps fucking things up. things would be so much easier if people weren't expected to grow.
details.
collects used records, skateboards, science fiction novels, stupid socks, and stuffed monkeys bc he is obsessed with monkeys.
owns a signed copy of ray bradbury’s “the illustrated man” but he left it back in philly bc he doesn’t trust himself to keep it safe.
favorite films are 2001: a space odyssey, annihilation, solaris, children of men, blade runner (1982), and invasion of the body snatchers.
misses the titi monkeys in the rare animal conservation center at the philadelphia zoo.
will only eat chicken nuggets if they’re shaped like dinosaurs.
give him yogurt pretzels or give him death.
connections.
an ex-girlfriend from junior year that he avoids out of fear of awkward tension
a group of fellow idiots for him to hang out with
history majors that he embarrasses with his lack of knowledge
multiple tutors who have had to quit bc there was no chance of helping him
friends he parties with on the weekends
a few hook-ups maybe? if they can be bothered to make the effort?
smart lady he has big crush on and makes heart eyes at when he sees her around
