[ElTejon*]

Name: Aaron Spidey Vassar
Gender: Male
Age: 15
Grade: 9th
School: Bayview Secondary School
Hobbies and Interests: Skateboarding, biking, smoking marijuana, music.
Appearance: Aaron is afflicted with oculocutaneous albinism, a form of albinism which affects melanin levels in the eyes, skin, and hair. This lack of pigmentation has left him with extremely pale skin, white hair, and blue eyes which, apart from their otherwise normal appearance, cannot properly filter light and require him to wear corrective contact lenses. He stands at a moderate 5'9" and 148 lbs, and wears his straight and thin hair at medium length and parted to his right. If not for his albinism, his features alone would be enough to have him be considered moderately attractive, though his condition has left him indifferent to his personal appearance; this is why he is usually seen coming to school wearing faded and stained blue jeans, rumpled T-shirts, a pair of tattered black-and-white checkerboard patterned canvas slip-on shoes, and a Mickey Mouse wristwatch with an aging black leather strap.

The only articles of clothing Aaron wears which he takes any care for are his black wool pea coat -- which belonged to his late great-grandfather -- and a pair of vintage red Air Jordan sneakers which he recieved for his 14th birthday. Because of his sensitivity to the sun, he is never seen without several layers of clothing on, and he always wears a tuque over his head when he goes outside.

Biography: Named after his great-grandfather on his father's side, who was also an albino, Aaron was raised in a comfortable -- if sheltered -- lifestyle by parents who associated their son's unusual appearance with frailty. In keeping with the fears they'd held about Aaron's life as an albino, Pre-School and Kindergarten was an early indicator of what he would have to face, as he was tormented and teased for his pale complexion and sensitivity to sunlight, called "Dracula" and worse by students who would routinely shove and beat him when he refused to respond to their insults. After entering into Middle School, Aaron quickly learned a few dirty moves to help him fend off some of the more aggressive bullies, and over time, as he integrated himself into a rapidly forming clique of outcasts. To his friends, Aaron became better known by his middle name, which quickly caught on and has carried over into Bayview.

Here at Bayview, Spidey hangs out primarily with the stoners and the skaters, and he even makes a little bit of money from time to time when he has a little extra weed lying around, though he remains hesitant about becoming a full-blown dealer. He has had only one girlfriend, a freshman girl who he dated in the 9th grade, and after having sex with her at a spring break party last year their relationship fizzled and eventually ended a few months later when he found out she'd been seen making out with another boy at another party. Since then, he's become less interested in performing tricks on his skateboard and bike and more focused on music, with his forte being the bass guitar. He doesn't own a video game console, as he prefers downloading and listening music on his PC. His favorite band thus far is Sublime, and he's been considering joining in on a garage band as a drummer.

Everyone who knows Spidey describe him as an avid music lover, and he comes across to most people as a very laid back guy who loves to sit down and talk about whatever comes to mind. He holds very strong opinions on the issues of politics and sports, and has expressed a strong distrust of authority figures and a morbid fascination with the underground internet series "Survival of the Fittest", which he watches on his PC from time to time. However, in spite of his frail appearance, anyone whose gotten on his bad side can attest to Spidey's surprisingly effective fighting capabilities, which nearly got him expelled after he dropped an older boy in the cafeteria last year with a kidney shot for dumping milk on his head.
