Welcome to Gaia! ::

I CANNOT HOLD BACK GUYS
If anything I can use this to make another student quest (HURHURHUR)


Name: Lazarus Milton

Nicknames: Laz, Lazy bum

Gender: Male

Age: 17

School: Meadowview

Fav. Food: Abalone (WHY ARE YOU SO EXPENSIVE?)

Hated Food: Coconut (YOU ARE AN ABOMINATION TO CHOCOLATES)

Hobbies:
Chocolatier-- Chocolate is something everybody likes. They help calm people down. They are good for hiding drugs. While Laz may fail at epic levels when it comes to baking or just food preparation in general, if it has to do with chocolate, they are oddly focused and well organized. However, they have a habit of eating half of the end result before handing it to friends and others.
Sewing-- They like to sew. Mainly patch work, but occasionally, they try to make things. The most they have ever done is a full dress. But, mainly, it's just patching up clothes.
I will sleep everywhere-- Okay, this isn't a hobby so much as it is a goal for Laz. They know they have a tendency to pass out randomly. So, they have a book. This book journals all the places they have ever fallen asleep randomly. It has become a goal for Laz to fall asleep in as many odd places as possible without meaning to. They have fallen asleep at the mall. The aquarium. A book store. But oddly, never on a plane. (Laz finds this fact highly annoying, as you should be able to sleep on a plane easy.) They are careful not to fall asleep in 'bad' places. Like a public bathroom. People get mad when that happens, plus it's embarrassing.



Virtues:

Compliant-- You need me to do something? Sure, whatever man. Taking things in stride is one thing Laz does best. That and following orders with out much of a fight. You need something done, s/he'll get it done, just in a calm, almost slow, manner. There is nothing to get worried about, all will fall into place. If they are told to hurry up, they'll sigh, give a light hearted complaint, but hurry up...just under your expectations. Going faster is the one thing you can never expect Laz to actually comply with. Anything else? Fair game.

Light hearted/Optimistic-- Things can be worse, why are you so uptight? While not a pure optimist, (because s**t can be bad and is bad), (name) does have an honest belief that while things may get worse, the more you focus on the negative, the worse it'll get. Sure, we're about to die, but, we still have time to say goodbye. And yes you got an F is biology, but you can still retake it. Basically, they are always the one with a gentle smile on their face, even when faced with telling mom and dad that they just broke their bike chain...again.

Calm-- Very little can shake the foundation that is Laz. They are not some overactive teenager, but more like a mellow hippy stoner type. Think: Go with the flow. Just letting things happen as they happen. When the foundation is shaken, the situation is treated in a..well...unique fashion (see over thinking) What can shake the foundation? Life/death situations, finding out there is a pop quiz and it's on the one subject they didn't study for, or even the fact that starbucks peppermint mochas just went out of season. Things close to 'home' or 'tradition'. Overall, don't break set routines.

Flaws:

Cannot take things seriously-- At least, not as serious as they should be. The flip side to the lighthearted/optimist, s/he cannot treat things with the level of urgency needed. Example: The doctor appointment is in 15 minutes? Why are you rushing? It's not that far, we get there in 10 normally. They only take things seriously when they're A-freaking out, or B-its something they do know has to get done and if they don't it will result in s**t hitting the fan.

Detached-- Not an unfeeling careless person by any means, they just frankly can't see the importance of somethings. Unless it being drilled into their head over and over or they are being hounded Laz is quite content with letting things happen as they may.

Over thinking/Over reaction-- OH MY GOD s**t JUST GOT SERIOUS? When the calm and effervescent cool of Laz is lost, they become incredibly critical of anything and everything, in the attempt to solve the situation and return to that lighthearted go with the flow manner. Basically, they pull a 180 with their take on how to deal with things. No longer is anything just about getting it kinda done. In cases like this they also have an issue with over thinking the situation when the solution might in fact, be something very obvious and simple. THINGS HAVE TO GET DONE LIKE, RIGHT NOW AND PERFECTLY! WHY DOES NO ONE GET THAT THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT NOW?<---Like that. It's very external and internal, and usually this type of event leads to a quick 'nap' due to the stress and over exertion.

I am taking a nap right now, come back later-- (WEAKNESS) They have Narcolepsy. While it is being treated with medication, extreme changes, (such as an event where they overreact or their calm is shattered), can trigger sudden fatigue, and even possibly, a random 'nap time'. The medication is also constantly changing and has a tendency to uh...not work at times. (This is the reason they treat things with such indifference, because over emotions or stress or work has a nasty habit of triggering an episode) As far as sleep pattern goes, it's messed up. Catching them at the wrong time and they might be asleep, or they might be awake at odd hours. It's not much of a problem, except in classes. Bags are typical under Laz's eyes.

Technical aspects:
Severity: Mild, it affects school work and life, but not to the point where it is over disabilitating, and it is being treated with medication, allowing some control. However, it is still spontaneous and can happen at any moment.
Time of an Episode: Varies, can be a few minutes to a full on hour or two.
Triggers: Breaking hardcore set routines, surprises, sudden changes in mood, over exertion

AIM CRIT I NEED TO REMEMBER:


I'm not much of a critter but here's what I came up with :3 (I like them a lot so far, btw)

I will sleep everywhere - What are some of the places they've fallen asleep so far? Is there anywhere they wouldn't want to fall asleep?

Compliant - Is there anything Maris won't do? Where are their limits? If someone tries to hurry them to do it faster how will they react?

Calm (which I just realized says Clam -is amused-) - What will it take to break through the calm? Examples of situations are great. Are there some things that will bother Maris faster than others?

Cannot take things seriously - Is there anything they do take seriously? Or is everything in their life just shrugged off with indifference? Using the example you gave, if they were late to the appt, how would Maris react if the other person got angry because they were late?

Apathetic - Kind've the same as above, is there anything in their life they do take seriously? You may want to use a word other than Apathetic (I can't exactly think of the word this flaw reminds me of, it's right on the edge of my brain >< ), when someone says Apathetic I think of someone who just doesn't give a damn about anything. But you're saying Maris isn't unfeeling, so it's a slight contradiction.

Over thinking - I like this flaw a lot, it adds depth to Maris. I'm curious, will they get rude and snappy at people while they're freaking out? Or is it more of an internal freak out?

Nap time - When they do pass out, how long do they pass out for? Can they be woken up easily, or do they sleep like a log? Is it hard for them to get to sleep at normal times because they're always falling asleep during the day? What limitations does the Narcolepsy put on them? Can they drive a car, or hold a steady job?
