[Deleted User (V4)]

Name: Gordon Weld
Gender: Male
Age: 16
Grade: 12th grade
School: Bayview Secondary School
Hobbies and Interests: Old Video Games, Comic Books. Has recently started going to a Gym, but not regularly anymore.

Appearance: Gordon stands at a mere 5' 7", and weights 151 pounds, not quite overweight, but not in shape either. His black hair is kept cut to an easily manageable length on the sides, while the top of his head is kept combed back at all times. His face is round, with large ears, eyes a dull brown, nose broad and eyebrows bushy. His skin is slightly browned due to his Hispanic origins. Acne has been rather merciful towards his looks, face only showing one or two pimples every so often. He often wears a plain white undershirt with a blue over-shirt with darker blue stripes stretching across. His lower half is in carpenter's jeans with a leather belt and an old pair of Converse shoes.

Biography: If there is a word to describe Gordon, it is content. Gordon is the eldest son in a family of four consisting of Gordon, his father; pure Caucasian, mother; Hispanic , and his younger sister Alexis, who takes after her dad in skin color; white as paper. He was born just before the cutoff point for age limits to attend school, and manages to attend at what seems like a young age, but is just a few months behind his classmates. His life has been without conflict in terms of traumatic events or strife, his father having an upper-middle class job as Superintendent of a branch of a gradually growing electric company, his mom staying at home to take care of him.

Gordon is neutral in terms of popularity amongst his classmates, not a recluse whom is often ignored, and not constantly starving for attention. He stays within his own circle of friends, not talking with those outside of whom his is accustomed to speaking to unless approached directly.

Gordon's father, once an athlete who played multiple sports in his younger days, encouraged Gordon to try multiple sports starting when Gordon was five years old. He showed only a marginal interest in most sports, ranging from baseball to water polo. Eventually, his father gave up shortly after Gordon turned eight and gave up on the idea that his son would be just like his dad, a (once) athletic, sports-loving, powerhouse.

Although he has given up on sports, Gordon has recently signed up for a gym membership, due to constantly being called fat by his younger sister. At first, he went at least four times a week,and managed to burn off quite a few pounds, but recently, his interest in the gym has faded, and it's been rare for him to go more than once a week. Even so, he was able to build up some muscles that he considers to be none too shabby.

Now, Gordon is often inside, reading or playing games. His interest in reading comic books, or graphic novels, stems from one of his old neighbors. Gordon babysat his kids occasionally while he lived next door, and his neighbor had a large collection of comics, both old and new. Occasionally, he would compulsively give Gordon one, most likely out of appreciation, and Gordon would read that which he was given. Some were good, some were horrible, but they sparked his interest. As for old games, Gordon got into them, specifically those for the SNES, while looking for good RPGs, and, after trying some out on an SNES emulator, decided to try games for the system from other genres.

Advantages: Time spent at the gym has built up his strength, even if it is only by a small amount.

Disadvantages: Gordon cannot run long distances, as he is not physically fit, and will get "stitches" in his side if he runs for too long or expends too much energy.
