does my muse have any ‘ unusual ’ habits, interests, and / or talents? do they hide it, or are they proud of it?
Not a habit per say, but he likes to keep ticket stubs from concerts movies anything of that sort, he should scrapbook them or do something cool with them but instead he keeps them in a box and never looks at them again. But on he is embarrassed with and hides is when he is stressed to the max he smokes, and he knows it’s dirty and he shouldn’t because it’s literally a cancer stick, but the high the nicotine gives him is the only thing that helps clear his head sometimes so he used it to finally have some clarity and calmness in his constantly loud thoughts.
how intelligent is my muse overall? are they smarter than the average person, or less than? are they primarily self-taught, or did they acquire most of their knowledge in school? are they more street smart or book smart?
Pretty smart in things regarding emotions and common sense, really street smart, has a pretty high reading comprehension, it’s just math and science where he is lacking. He never went to college never knew what he would major in so he didn’t want to waste his time he already was pretty successful with his podcast and had a pretty stable job at the radio station so he didn’t see himself going to school anytime soon.
[ Kevin moon, male, 22 ] Let’s give a warm welcome to one of Sparkwood’s finest, RICHIE TOZIER !! Before coming here, HE/HIM once lived on the pages of IT BY STEPHEN KING. Though now they currently spend most of their time as a(n) RADIO DJ/ PODCASTS. If you ask the townsfolk about what they are like, you will hear that they are CHARMING but also FLAKEY If they had a theme song it would be ALL THE KIDS ARE DEPRESSED - JEREMY ZUCKER. Let’s see how their story unravels this time. [ nicole, 28, cst, she/her ]
To say Richie had a happy life would be a stretch of the word, because financially he never struggled, a child of two Wealthy parents he never struggled in that way. His parents divorced when he was way too young to remember, his mother an actress on some day time Soap opera he never even attempted to watch, and his father a fancy business man who he barely saw, and when it was his dad’s weekend or rotation he was rarely ever there a nanny always in his place. So it made sense why at an Young age he started acting out, just beginning for an ounce of attention, but honestly the only time thy paid him any mind was when they were trying to one up one another, he wasn’t actually a person to them just an object to hold over each other. It’s why once he graduated from Derry Maine, he just drove, not a destination in sight and that’s how he ended up in Sparkwood. the only time he even hears from his parents anymore is when they are sending him money, even though he has his trust-fund in his savings, saving it for the day he might actually need it.
Honestly the whole reason he became so invested in doing podcasts and Djing because on those he could easily avoid his own problems and focus on other’s instead, because actually facing what was going on in his head was much scarier than just pretending it wasn’t a thing.
Experiences frequent night terrors and sometimes episodes of sleep paralysis, he doesn’t usually remember the dreams but he remembers the feeling when he first wakes up and he hates how much looming anxiety comes from it.
has his nose pierced on his left side and contemplating getting his septum as well, and multiple piercings in his ears, currently working on a half sleeve of his favorite X-men characters but it is taking a lot of sessions and seeing as there isn’t multiple tattoo artists in Sparkwood it’s taking a bit longer than anticipated.
he misses all his friends from Derry, and has been trying to convince them all to move here, they are his one friend group that are friends with him for him not for whatever money he had or who his parents were, he craved how truly genuine they were.
Wants multiple pets but his landlord only allows two, so he has an orange cat named Tortellini and a rescue dog he isn’t sure of the breed named Tator tot.
