One day in 1993, when things were particularly tight, I remember helping Tony Hawk look for change underneath the floor mats of his Honda. Taco Bell had a cheap menu and we were trying to scrounge up lunch money.
.
In 1991, skateboarding had suffered such a rapid loss in popularity that the scene now had a distinct post-apocalyptic vibe to it. Most established brands died or declared bankruptcy, contest checks bounced and once-thriving pros now lived below the poverty line.
.
Rodney Mullen was living in a simple apartment using yogurt containers as dishes while other lucky pros begged themselves onto demos as second-tier talent behind more popular rollerbladers.
Under the cut explains Sean's background, memories, the troubles he still has, Trivia, and his relationship's with other people, On top of what else I can think of
-------------------------------------
Background:
------------------------------------
Sean at a very young age was spoiled, his father was never home and his mother was usually a chauffeur, He was usually home alone as soon as he was old enough to take care of himself, and even then, he did some stupid stuff he never got in trouble for, in school, he was purposely failing, he was friends with other class clowns, and around his pre-teen years, his father would purposely pull him aside and take him out with his father, his father often attended ungodly parties, so Sean was introduced to alcohol and drugs at a young age, often talking with the eye candy ladies at the party near his father, eventually these reverse chauffeurs ended with Sean entering the age of 13, by the few years he knew his father, he never knew any different then that his father was truely a good person.
Because of Sean's past, hes grown up following his father- the wrong role model- and often has opinions that match up with his fathers, and he ticks a lot of other children off when he gives his blunt wrong based opinions, he lost even his class clown friends, depression blindly hit him at the age of 14, where he was alone in his house still, his father came home with eye candy ladies, and left with them, Sean played video games for the remainer until by an unlucky chance, at the age of 15..
He was shopping with his mother, the first time hes hung out with her for what seems like forever, during his shopping, he stuffed as much as he could into his coat pockets, at the register, the cashier pointed out his abnormally shaped coat, his mother going to check when he ran off, out the doors, until he tripped, his mother meeting him outside and grabbing him by the ear, at this point the cops were called, and after sean retaliated on his mother, and his parents realizing just how rotten hes turned out, they agreed to send him to a reform school to try and help him.
So.. With Sean's background out of the way, there was a few good memories hes retained, right? Right.
-------------------------------------
Memories:
-------------------------------------
Being 'grown up'[In reality it did take Sean until 14 to have an interest in females and romance], Sean realized how lucky he was to see such eye candy. There was especially this one red headed women with even brighter red lipstick that had the prettiest eyes on top of her lush lips, she often snuck him candy and legal drinks when she wasn't busy, since the partys rarely served nothing else, and she also snuck her youngest son into his house when she could. She was abnormally nice because she was a nice mother having many affairs.
Another good memory was indeed with the woman's youngest son, his name was Arino, and even though he was a good couple years younger then Sean, Sean treated Arino like a little brother, and therefore learned from Arino a few tricks on how not to be an asshole. There was one night where Arino got to spend the night at Sean's house, mostly because his parents weren't going to be home, so Sean never had to tell them.
A bad memory was when his mother came home drunk and crying, and even though she was really nice, he went up to try and comfort her, and he thinks he said the wrong thing and he got backhanded, his face was brused and red for a long time, it was when he was young, which is why he didn't have any respect for his mother.
Another good, his best memories are his most recent, with his boyfriend, he especially remembers when he confessed his love to Avery, he now laughs back at that moment from how much of a weenie he is.
----------------
Troubles:
---------------
Sean has a lot of issues still, hes the most imperfect OC I have, his values are still weighted on wrong, and instead of owning up to his situation, he avoids speaking 'adult' language instead.
Though he has mellowed out, upon his arrival, he was a class clown completely, of course, hes still a class clown, but now any room hes in can catch a breather and have some wholesome socialization with him. Of course when hes not being cutesy and cuddly with his boyfriend.
-------------
Likes/Dislikes/Trivia:
------------
He prefers pizza above all other foods, and he actually likes plain water as his favorite drink.
He prefers dogs, parrots, and easily trainable animals, like pigs.
He hates his greens, unless they're on a pizza.
The reform school technically fixed him the month he showed up, he learned his behavior was douchebaggy, now he causes trouble on purpose to stay in the reform school.
Along with never being home, when his parents are home, they are religious and also douchebags, And because of that, they are narrow minded and will be aggressive towards Sean when they learn he has a boyfriend. Hes planning on escaping before then.
He almost had a baby sister, but because of health reasons the baby had to be aborted, no one mentions it ever because not only does it make Sean sad, but his parents feel like they sinned.
Sean is not only backwards but innocent about his opinions and views, he believes women should stay women, and that everyone should stay where they are depending on how they were born, not only because of the influence of his father, but because he doesnt know other peoples opinions.
It might be easy to tell, but he tends to morph his thinking to the people around him, hense why he mellowed out with his boyfriend around, hes done it as long as he can remember.
Sean only listens to video game music if he has a choice, and if there are other people around, he'll purposely play country.
---------------------
Relationships:
--------------------
Avery - Sean views Avery as an entertaining life saver, one of the first people sean met in hope falls, and continues to be Sean's favorite, Joan coming in close second, Sean is planning on joining Avery wherever he goes, not only to be with Avery, but to stay away from his parents with less hastle. Avery's music puts him asleep, but its mostly in a good way. Sean feels more comfortable with Avery then he did his only childhood friend Arino.
Joan - Avery doesn't see Joan often, but he views her as a little sister, often wanting to pick on her and joke around with her since shes the type to do so, she comes in his 2nd favorite friend in the reform school, and even though he does like how handy she is, he does prefer his women to be dainty and cuter acting.
Anri - He's scared of Anri in a lot of aspects, but thats where he finds his fun in teasing Anri, and he often has no idea where to draw the line with his jokes, so he mostly doesnt joke around too much at all. Though he does think Anri is a good guy otherwise.
Arino - He strictly viewed Arino as a little brother, and treated him that way in more of a caring aspect then a joking around aspect, mostly because he tried really hard to keep Arino a friend of his, since he barely had anyone else.
Sean's father[without a name] - Sean back then loved his father when he was around, his father spoiled him and took him out of the house to have 'fun'[Mostly being his fathers view of fun]. And.. He was his dad, Sean now has grown up realizing his father is nothing more then the title, his father rarely does shit for him, and he knows who owes his father nothing.
Sean's mother[Wasn't her name Nancy or something?] - Back then Sean thought nothing much of his mother, she was a women who he barely saw who when he did see, was only on holidays, and only dragged him to church, now he realizes how poisonous she is, strictly saying no to anything not in the binary gender and heretosexuality. Hes mainly the reason why he hopes to never see his family ever again
----------
Others:
-----------
I made this feel way too orangized for my own good, Anyways uhh..
I was planning on keeping Sean a total asshole to be honest, but it was almost unhuman if he were to stay a total asshole considering the people around him and what he learned. So.. He loosened up, hes still entergetic and loves horsing around though.
Since Sean's very fragile, it would be very unlikely that he would want to live through a zombie apocolapyse, nor would, for future reference, he'd kill himself before something else would happen to him.
Sean also orders pizza from every menu that serves it
Sean wants to be a youtuber! Or any form of career that involves sitting on his ass and playing video games, but he wants to do it because its easy. He wants to sit and do nothing as his job.
