Appearance: MJ is a small, stringy boy of 5’5” and 118 lbs. He has a slight frame, though his chest and arms are lightly toned. A man of Ashkenazi and Irish descent, MJ has features indicative of both ethnic backgrounds. He has downturned, partially hooded brown eyes; a roman nose with a protruding bridge and rounded tip; and thin, straight lips. His skin is olive-colored and his hair is dark, wavy, and typically unkempt.

MJ has an angular jaw and high-set cheekbones, giving him a gaunt visage. His face is peppered with scars, one down the left side of his chin and one across his forehead. The first scar is about an inch and a half in length. The second scar begins slightly above his left temple and ends just before the top of his eyebrow. Another set of scars, gained from a shanking in juvie, can be found on his left side, just below his ribcage. MJ also has several tattoos on his arms and body. His right hand is adorned with a crude poker hand composed of the 2,3,4,5 and 6 of clubs. He also has the acronym ‘ACAB’ in an elaborate lettering piece across his upper back.

MJ presents himself with an alternative style; mostly faded, baggy, black band shirts of obscure artists from the 80s and 90s. He has only two pairs of shoes: a beat up pair of once-pristine Nike’s and similarly damaged combat boots with red soles. On the day of the abduction, he was wearing a long-sleeved, low-cut top with a hot pink ‘The Velvet Underground’ graphic and ripped up black jeans alongside the aforementioned boots.

Biography: Casey Monoghan, a 32-year-old born and raised Nevadan, returned from deployment in Afghanistan to a Henderson job market that didn’t care for his skill set. Without the funds or inclination to move, the veteran became homeless for eight months. During this time he mostly stayed in makeshift tents beneath bridges, opting out of homeless shelters while he got back on his feet primarily out of pride. He frequented the cheap Hotspur Deli, where he met and developed an antagonistic relationship with Rita Katz, a 29-year-old law student.

Through repeated interactions, Casey and Rita gradually warmed up to one another, eventually leading to her inviting him to a Jewish community center. On their first outing, the conservatives of the center raised some eyebrows at Rita’s choice of company. This only became more prevalent when, while still unaware of his homelessness, Rita developed feelings for Casey and started actively pining for him. Picking up on her feelings but unwilling to reciprocate until he felt as though he could adequately provide for himself, the pair’s relationship suffered as Rita began to feel as though the veteran was leading her on.

However, in April of 2005 Casey found steady employment as a security guard for a local shopping mall. He managed to afford a devalued apartment in the Water Street District two months later. Upon gaining housing, his first action was to ask Rita out, but she turned him down as a result of her festering resentment. The two didn’t speak for three weeks. After the third week, Casey broke the silence via phone call. The two spoke deep into the night. Rita opened up about how she felt the veteran had been using her, which provoked him to reveal his former homelessness in response.

With a new understanding of one another, they decided to start over with a lunch date. Their relationship flourished quickly, much to the chagrin of Rita’s community, and by the next year the law student had fallen pregnant. Partially to save face and partially out of genuine affection, Casey and Rita were quickly married. On March 3rd, 2006, Matthew-James Monoghan was born. He was named after his father’s late brother, James Monoghan, and the biblical prophet Matthew.

Things began going downhill for the couple after their son’s birth. First off, a security guard’s salary was hardly enough to support a family of three, urging Rita to switch courses in school and get certified as a paralegal. Second, MJ was not a planned pregnancy. Others in the community caught onto this rather quickly, and combined with the rushed nature of the Monoghan union, popular opinion of them became very negative. Rita began resenting Casey and especially MJ for her estrangement and forced job swap.

This resentment only grew as she began to suffer from Postpartum Depression, and her and Casey’s relationship gradually deteriorated.

As a child, MJ could tell his mother wasn’t quite as loving as she let on, and this caused him to develop a strong preference for his father. He spent his young years listening to grunge and rock music, planting within him the seed that would eventually develop into a lifelong interest. Early life was rocky but stable. MJ was a regular child with a temperament that, predictably for a baby, tended to shift towards anger on a dime. In reality, this was the first sign of the child’s Intermittent Explosive Disorder (IED), a condition that causes the sufferer to, oftentimes completely unprompted, fly into uncontrollable rages. This condition was inherited from his father, who at the time of meeting Rita had managed to keep his outbursts under control for about seven years.

The toddler years were uneventful, and MJ eventually began attending elementary school. He frequently got into trouble over his outbursts, which caused friction with his mother who wasn’t aware of his condition and who grew increasingly frustrated with her son’s alienation from her. Casey, on the other hand, treated the outbursts with familiarity and stern guidance, teaching MJ several coping mechanisms which all generally failed to calm him down in the moment. He didn’t find a proper outlet for his frustrations until he was eleven when, at a small get-together of old veteran friends of his father, MJ was let in on a poker game. He actually won a hand, and the experience marked the first time in his life that MJ didn’t feel like a ticking time bomb.

The ensuing two years saw MJ on a downward spiral. He began bringing playing cards to school in order to play various games with other kids at school, but found that simply playing cards didn’t have the same effect. He had to be risking something. And so he got his start gambling his lunches away. MJ developed a decent skill at poker, but being twelve he didn’t fully understand the games he was playing. This eventually led to his first real fight when an older boy named Jacobie Humphrey beat him with worse hands solely by reading his face. MJ had a meltdown and struck the boy several times in the chest before getting pummeled. He evaded disciplinary action as this was after school had ended for the day. Afterwards, under intense questioning from his parents, MJ lied about the affair, claiming that he and the boy in question just got into an argument. Incidents like these occurred often, with MJ verbally and occasionally physically assaulting other boys until, when he was thirteen, he was caught in the middle of a fight and suspended for three weeks.

Grounded and grilled, MJ spent the first two weeks of his suspension in great scrutiny. His father in particular was frustrated with the boy. After all the time he’d spent coaching MJ, he felt as though he’d failed his son. Casey withdrew as his own IED began to flare up once again. In the vacuum, MJ leaned on Rita. As his suspension neared its end, MJ asked his mother if he could go out, eager to be away from his disappointed and erratic father. Seizing the opportunity to reconnect with her community and introduce her son to people she’d grown up with, Rita took MJ to the same community center that she took his father to. They were met with some prejudice from the conservatives there within, but MJ was able to integrate nicely with the teens there. After his suspension ended, when it became clear that his reputation at school had been tarnished, he decided to continue attending this community center.

While there, MJ attempted to kick his gambling addiction and keep his anger under control. His relationship with his father never fully recovered, and Rita and MJ grew closer as the boy began to identify more strongly with his Jewish heritage. His parents, however, still elicited whispers from the older attendees, and children had a way of repeating what their parents told them. After about a month of his continued patronage, everyone around him knew his father was a gentile. For the most part, no one bothered to ridicule him over this. The younger folk of the center didn’t share all their parents’ conservative values, and marriage outside the faith wasn’t seen as so much of a taboo to them. There was one, however. A boy named Levi Goldman, who originally bristled against MJ’s rather progressive views on things such as sexuality and drinking. Levi decided to be more antagonistic to MJ when he learned that Casey was non-religious, harassing the boy without objection from the others who were unwilling to step out of line for someone they didn’t truly accept. Things came to a head when, after a string of vicious insults, Levi called MJ’s mother a whore. MJ lost control and brutally beat Levi, striking him several times in the face and even bringing him to the ground where he repeatedly kicked him. Others around, fearing they were about to witness a murder, pulled MJ off of Levi. As this was an act of violence unrelated to school and witnessed by dozens of people around, the cops were called and MJ was arrested.

The following days were a blur of court, detention and regret. Rita and Casey posted bail, but MJ was standing trial for Felony Battery since Levi was hospitalized. Pressure mounted on the family. Casey withdrew even further, blaming himself and crumbling into alcoholism and rage. Rita reverted to an icy demeanor in regards to her son, blaming him for her now irreparable alienation from the Jews of her home. With no support and feeling unfairly portrayed by the justice system at large, MJ’s progressivism blossomed into full-on contempt of government. He began getting hateful messages online. People threatened him, threatened his family, called him a delinquent and generally just ran his name through the mud until the entire area he lived in knew him. He even made it onto the local news as a thirteen year old who was being tried as an adult. Facing serious jail time and an early end to his promising future, MJ took a plea deal that lowered his sentence to misdemeanor Battery and landed him in the Mojave Juvenile Rehabilitation Facility for one year.

Early into his stay, MJ realized that he would have very few problems if he simply stayed quiet and kept his head down. Having been extroverted on the outside, there was a learning curve to staying quiet around others. No one really cared much for him, however, and those that did stayed clear due to his charge. He didn’t find much difficulty in keeping a low profile. That is, until he met Jason Cady. A boy with a troubled youth, similar to MJ’s, Jason was a boisterous sort with a large group of friends and a reportedly magnetic personality. The two drifted around the same general areas, and eventually they ended up playing a game of pickup basketball together, afterwards finding mutual interests and becoming acquainted. They slowly began talking more and more, opening up about minor details about their lives. They maintained this friendship for two months. In that time, perhaps he said or did some things that MJ should’ve found suspect. Perhaps his all-white group of friends in a diverse institution should’ve raised a flag, but then, almost all people in juvie hung around members of their own ethnicity. MJ didn’t have anyone to relate to on the inside. Maybe it was his isolation, the isolation he’d felt all his life, that made him ignore all the signs. Just for a friend.

As he grew more socialized and began hanging out with Jason’s friends, the flags became more numerous and immensely easier to ignore. All the boys in the group seemed to have at least one misogynistic or racist belief which MJ did not agree with. He went along with it, however. The hate which these boys spat inoculated MJ, and soon he also began looking down on others. He was white enough to pass, and they never said anything specifically about Jews. Even if they did, at this point MJ might’ve gone along with that, too. He was that desperate for somewhere to belong. Where his violence and anger would be celebrated instead of derided. MJ also slipped back into his gambling addiction. The boys would play dice or Blackjack for valuable commissary items and, after one boy managed to sneak some in with the help of his girlfriend, cigarettes. MJ had been playing these games for years by now, so he dominated games with any sort of skill-factor. Eventually, having won so many of them, MJ began smoking to help medicate his still-prevalent IED. The boys decided one day to give each other tattoos using a pen. MJ got his cards. Jason elected to get a swastika in the middle of his chest.

Frightened, but still blinded by the community he’d finally seemed to gain, MJ confronted Jason in private, asking him to clarify that the swastika was a joke or something of the sort. Jason not only denied this, but got defensive and angry, accusing MJ of being a Jew-lover before aggressively demanding MJ to tell him whether or not he himself was a Jew. MJ’s poker face was good, but he was scared and hurt by Jason’s actions, and he feebly admitted that he was. This was the end of what MJ had considered to this point the best time of his life. It was the beginning of the worst.

The boys turned on MJ like a rabid pack of dogs, antagonizing and alienating him with slurs and insults that some of the guards were willing to step in to stop. Others ignored it, whether it be out of their own anti-semitism or some other reason. No one was willing to put a definite stop to this, however, and so little by little the work MJ had done to calm his condition began to unravel. Insults became verbal confrontations and occasional scuffles that left MJ with bruises and busted lips, and his bullies without any punishment that he himself did not share. Jason was comparatively light on MJ. Raised in a family completely indoctrinated by the teachings of the Creativity Movement, Jason was a burgeoning neo-nazi staunch anti-Semite who considered MJ’s presence in his circle as an infiltration and betrayal. Anger festered inside him. Unlike the other boys who were mostly just hateful as a response to Jason’s influence, Jason truly hated Jews. He fashioned a shank from his toothbrush one day, at the height of his outrage.

The next day, Jason arraigned for himself and his friends to surround MJ while he was in the bathroom. The others inside quickly cleared out once they realized what was soon to transpire. After a brief conversation, MJ insulted Jason, challenging the boy to do whatever it was he was going to do. In response, they descended upon him. Over the course of the beating, Jason stabbed his target four times. Once they’d withdrawn, MJ, only thinking they’d roughed him up, went to leave. He was stopped by a guard who informed him of the blood trail that followed him out. A visit to the infirmary and a testimony later, and MJ was placed in protected holding for the remainder of his sentence.

His remaining two months in juvie were uneventful.

Unfortunately, things at home had taken a turn for the worse. Casey and Rita hardly ever talked. The problems building up since the inception of their relationship had boiled over, and Casey’s alcoholism and now-severe outbursts had caused them to decide on a divorce. MJ returned to a house divided. Emerging from the aftermath of one courtroom to the long and arduous proceedings of another, the boy was weary and developed severe depression. He believed the divorce to be his own fault. This feeling was galvanized when, in the custody hearing, Rita agreed to cede all her rights to Casey. MJ was devastated by what he perceived as his mother’s abandonment. He attempted to speak to her afterwards, but she wouldn’t see him. Despite stubbornly refusing to leave his home city just fourteen years prior, Casey realized he would be unable to provide for his son on his own in Henderson. He got two jobs and a cheap apartment for the two of them in a low-cost suburb in Las Vegas, and MJ sold most of his belongings to a pawn shop. He worked odd jobs mowing lawns and whatnot for his last summer before high school while Casey worked out enrollment.

Then, a year late, MJ Monoghan started his Freshman year at Southwest Red Rock High School. Little things tipped off some people that he wasn’t normal. His tattoo, his age, etc. but it wasn’t until a teacher, misguidedly worried for her students’ safety after being informed of MJ’s charge, outright told a class about his crime that his reputation became outright volatile. He skipped class often, hardly spoke and seemed to vanish during free periods such as lunch. He was mysterious and dangerous, and the rumors that traveled across the student body painted him both as a criminal and an intriguing puzzle. He’d have people come up to him to talk and have to suppress his sudden rage. By his Sophomore year, no one tried to talk to him anymore, and the rumors stopped as people lost interest.

During the summer between his Sophomore and Freshman years, MJ had a political awakening. Prior to this point, he had been a child in a rather apolitical household. The beliefs shared by Jason and his gang had opened him up to a new avenue of study, however, and he immersed himself in it occasionally during the school year. Casey got laid off from his job at the beginning of the vacation, so his son picked up some slack by applying for jobs anywhere he could. He lied about his age on résumé’s and pretended to have skills that he’d never even heard of. Eventually he got hired at a music store. This place formed two things in him. One was an adoration of music that had been building since childhood. After hours, he’d sometimes play the instruments on the walls. With a pull towards the guitar and especially drums, MJ finally found a healthy, effective method of keeping himself stable. The other thing that working at the music shop caused for MJ was his political radicalization. The people working in this store tended to lean left, and one in particular, Corey Leighly, was a socialist and very willing to educate others about the philosophy. It wasn’t until Corey mentioned systemic violence in passing that MJ’s curiosity was piqued.

He approached her, requesting a more detailed explanation on the subject, and she obliged. MJ related to the concept, remembering his experiences in juvie where despite the obvious reasons for Jason and his friends’ harassment, none of the guards stepped in to help him. This was the beginning of a rapid shift in identity for MJ. He began obsessively reading books that Corey would let him borrow, mostly focusing on systemic hate at first before moving on to failings of Capitalism. He developed strong negative feelings for the American government as a whole, which led him to seek out alternatives to the system which had, in his eyes, failed so completely. This led him to Marx and the Communist Manifesto, and after a week-long deep dive he had become a staunch Socialist. This change coincided with MJ becoming immersed in the Las Vegas alt scene. Corey took him along to a concert and from then on he was hooked. He began dressing much more daringly, having regained some confidence with his new identity. Before he styled himself in an almost intentionally boring manner. After, he imitated the lead singers in bands he’d frequently see at his hangouts. All the while, however, he kept himself at arm’s reach. It was hard for him to truly trust any community after juvie. He panicked when the subject of tattoos came up and aggressively questioned anyone that even hinted at anti-semetic beliefs. Returning to school after this summer, MJ seemed to be a totally new person. More talkative, more active in the student body. This was the year he really started to turn over a new leaf and leave the violent child he used to be in the past. Unfortunately, his reputation proved difficult to shirk. Combined with his new style, it made the authority of the school wary of MJ, and the student body didn’t react entirely positively to his dramatic change in character. People who had been previously ignored by MJ had a soured perception of him. All in all, his actions in his first year of high school garnered him a delinquent’s reputation, and he hardly helped that reputation by dressing like a punk singer and talking excitedly about his new radical politics.

All this rejection weighed heavily on MJ, and halfway through his Sophomore year it caused his depression to flare up once again. He stopped going to his hangouts, lost passion in politics and music and began to relapse on his old behavior. This was when, in a random act of boredom, he snuck into an art class after hours and scattered paint across an empty canvas. The act was oddly cathartic, and he repeated it several times before realizing he genuinely enjoyed it. After this revelation, he invested in personal art supplies and began making abstract paintings at home. These paintings allowed MJ to express his feelings of rejection and helped him out of his slump. He took it a step further by approaching the school’s principal and requesting permission to form a school art club, though it was rejected as he couldn’t get enough people to join. He’s maintained his arguments for the art club up through his Senior year. As he started going on outings once again, MJ was struck with the idea to form a band of his own. Many performers in the clubs he frequented were local acts, so he figured if he got a few people together he could perform as well. When the music shop got a keytar as a special gimmick sale, MJ fell in love. He spent his entire savings account on the thing and practiced relentlessly, becoming an adept player and severely pissing off his dad more than once. With confidence in his musical skills, MJ waited until his next summer vacation and then began approaching people for his project, The Vivisection.

Unfortunately, the people of his clubs were more interested in traditional rock and roll and didn’t gel with MJ’s pitch of a psychedelic, funky spin on punk music. Undeterred, MJ prepared The Vivisection as a solo act instead. He used the fact that his keytar was technically a synthesizer to his fullest advantage, manipulating the sounds so that he could achieve his musical vision through that instrument alone. All the while he continued growing as a painter. During his Junior year, he elected to take an art class. Originally in the Freshman course, he impressed his teacher and was quickly moved into a more advanced class where his work was encouraged to be entered into contests. He didn’t win much as his style was still very abstract, but he was really enjoying school now. A month into Junior year, he played his first open mic as The Vivisection, garnering a lukewarm crowd that nevertheless made all the work he’d put into the project worth it. His IED and depression both receded as things in his life seemed to genuinely go well for the first time in a long time. Despite his lack of real friends at school, and despite the virtual impossibility of scholarships due to his record, MJ was happy as a Junior.

When summer came again, MJ went on a trip with Corey to follow a metal tour. With a fake ID and Corey’s legality, they indulged in what basically amounted to a two-month bender. During this period, one show got raided by police. MJ, in a drug and alcohol fueled haze, convinced Corey to help him get an elaborate back tattoo. It took 7 sessions and a lot of regret and money, but by the end MJ had inscribed ACAB, an acronym for the phrase All Cops Are Bastards, across his upper back. Without knowing it, MJ used the outing to release a lot of pent up emotion, causing him to frequently become overwhelmed or angry. This culminated in a massive fight and falling out with Corey, and the two came back to Las Vegas not on speaking terms.

Making it home the day before school started back up for Senior year, MJ arrived in a bit of a mental limbo. He’d overcome the worst of his mental baggage via his art, but the summer’s events had taken their toll on him. Going into his final year of high school, MJ has entered a sort of existential crisis. His record has made getting into college a longshot, and he’s not fully confident in his ability to make a living with his painting or music. Alongside that, he’s lost his greatest confidant. Personality wise, he’s somewhere between the quiet loner he was in his Freshman year and the outspoken punk he morphed into his Sophomore year.

Advantages: MJ is a scrappy and strong individual as a result of his experiences in juvie. He’s reliable in a fight and in strenuous physical labor. He’s also very physically tough and capable of taking great amounts of damage before going down.
Disadvantages: MJ’s looming criminal record and bad reputation make it very difficult for him to find consistent friends or allies. He also suffers from undiagnosed Intermittent Explosive Disorder which causes him to fly into unpredictable and intense fits of anger. Alongside these fits of anger, MJ is prone to impulsive acts of self-destruction, such as chain-smoking and high-stakes gambling. This can translate to the island as needlessly risky exploits with high likelihoods of fatality.

Alrighty, hello there. I'm your ghostest with the mostest and I'll be looking at your profile today.

First thing literally first

Name: Matthew-James ‘MJ’ Monoghan
Gender: AMAB, Male
Age: 19
Grade: 12/Senior
School: Southwest Red Rock High School
Hobbies and Interests: Alt culture, anti-establishment media, political theory, science, gambling, punk music, tattoo art, painting.

- No AMAB in gender. If the person was listed as male and not AMAB then its something that would be covered in the biography section. Just "12" for the grade will do. And lastly for consistency with other profiles, no period at the end of the hobbites and interests.

Moving on to appearance, this all looks fine. Put a pin in the juvie scars for now.

Now on to the bio.


I'm going to link to sample profiles that have been approved so you get the gist of what the structure of these normally is, particularly with how the bio section begins.

Sample 1: Kate
Sample 2: Michael

Why do I link these? The first part of your bio has too much detailed information about MJ's parents and we don't find out any info on him until 300 words in. The first sentence tends to be a short one about where and when the character was born (though an exact date is not required), who their parents are and if they have siblings. The parents section needs to be stripped down to the essentials. Something like Casey was Nevada native and Afghanistan vet who came home finding readjustment difficult and met law student Rita while homeless because they both frequented the same lunch deli. They initially had a tense relationship but after he got a security job he asked her out. Sometime later she found herself pregnant and that along with affection between the two caused them to marry. Or something like that. Doesn't have to be exactly that.

Others in the community caught onto this rather quickly, and combined with the rushed nature of the Monoghan union, popular opinion of them became very negative.

- What community? In the year of our lord 2025 I don't think the average person living in Vegas or Henderson cares much that you got pregnant before marrying.

As a child, MJ could tell his mother wasn’t quite as loving as she let on, and this caused him to develop a strong preference for his father.

- A quick Google tells me that postpartum usually ends after a year and on the extreme end, can go to three years. I don't think that MJ is cognizant enough at ages 3 and below to notice a lot about his mother's behavior.

He spent his young years listening to grunge and rock music, planting within him the seed that would eventually develop into a lifelong interest.

- How did he start listening to this music?

In reality, this was the first sign of the child’s Intermittent Explosive Disorder (IED), a condition that causes the sufferer to, oftentimes completely unprompted, fly into uncontrollable rages.

The toddler years were uneventful, and MJ eventually began attending elementary school. He frequently got into trouble over his outbursts, which caused friction with his mother who wasn’t aware of his condition and who grew increasingly frustrated with her son’s alienation from her.

- Is he diagnosed? Is his dad? Later on this becomes a behavioral issue at school and his school would send him to a counselor who would recommend further professional help after too many incidents. I also ask this because it says his mother doesn't know, which I would find difficult to believe if he was diagnosed.

His parents, however, still elicited whispers from the older attendees, and children had a way of repeating what their parents told them. After about a month of his continued patronage, everyone around him knew his father was a gentile.

- So, in my experience as a Jew, the majority of Jews don't react that strongly about gentile mixed marriages unless you are Orthodox. Over half of American Jews are married to gentiles.

From PEW: Today, according to the Pew Research Center's “Jewish Americans in 2020” study, which was published in May of 2021, the figure is around 60%. Among non-Orthodox Jews, the intermarriage rate is more than 70%.

As you probably know because Rita is Jewish, MJ is considered Jewish. And even if they were a heavily Orthodox community I don't know that they would just stand by for this:

Levi decided to be more antagonistic to MJ when he learned that Casey was non-religious, harassing the boy without objection from the others who were unwilling to step out of line for someone they didn’t truly accept. Things came to a head when, after a string of vicious insults, Levi called MJ’s mother a whore.

From here I'm going to stop and address the storyline of beating someone to near death, being convicted of felony battery, being sent to juvenile correction for a year, and the things that come with it.

Southwest Red Rock high school is a good school that has many students that want to attend, even though it is public.

Southwest Red Rock High School, generally referred to as Red Rock by its student body and staff, is a well-funded modern facility. Originally built as part of a new initiative within Nevada to provide state of the art, secure education facility. Southwest Red Rock spent the first few years of its existence as an average academic school without any identity while its sports facilities approached completion. Once these were completed, however, the school exploded in popularity. This was due to a deliberate and motivated pivot by both the school and the Las Vegas Mayor to position it as the crown jewel of the new initiative, especially as it pertained to sports, with the state-of-the-art facilities bringing in many interested students.

From: The School Information

Thanks, staff.

Southwest Red Rock high school would reject MJ as a safety concern given his violent nature and criminal record and he would be referred instead to an alternative school, which is the case for many leaving the juvenile system in high school. For my high school, they had a dedicated alternative high school nearby they would send children to who were having too severe of either scholastic or behavioral issues. Because he would have had to continue attending classes while incarcerated, he would be accumulating credits and he may also have been suggested to just get his GED, which may be seen as the best for him anyhow given he doesn't seem to like going to school and had numerous behavioral problems.


On a conceptual level I think I know what you are going for. You want a kid with a rocky home life who gets into trouble due to fighting who is able to turn over a new leaf eventually at Red Rock High School by getting into common activities with the other students through things like music, setting up the tension on the island of someone who has to choose between how they would act when impulse in their past and the bonds and changes they've made since. This is a fine path to go down characterwise and I think we can get you there. We just need to tone down some of the elements you have here to be less dramatic so that it's feasible this person would be allowed to go to the school and then, eventually, on the senior grad trip.

If you have any questions or need an assistance, I'm available here and on Discord.
