nessa stetton age: 17 screenname: card-catalog gender: male group: second year species: were-animal: mute swan teams/clubs: track'n'field: hurdler, student council: secretary astrology sign: aquarius birthdate: january 24th • thorough • organized • optimistic • empathetic • hardworking • impatient miscellaneous: • possessive • domineering • heavy-handed • temperamental control. if there's one thing nessa has always seeked it's that simple concept. from the time he was young he's felt like his life was always slipping out of his grasp. as a child this frustration mostly came from his name -- one his parents had decided long before they knew his gender, and one they for some reason refused to change after learning of it -- which brought with it plenty of problems from bullying to inaccurate assumptions that this somewhat effeminate young man was in fact a boyish girl. neither of these ever lasted very long under both nessa's frustrated screams and volatile tantrums, and several times nessa found himself causing minor injuries to bullies and the naive alike. after which he tended to flee, a habit that really followed any kind of confrontation from shouting to stomping. when he ran, nessa ran to the nearby river. it's here he met a specific animal that seemed to emulate him, to match him. the fiercely territorial swan. the first time he ran to the river he found himself blindsided by the angry ball of feathers and venom-like attitude. it really did a decent number on nessa, but he was a stubborn kid. he came back day after day, and eventually found out offerings of food tended to soothe the beast of the river. this beast would soon acquire a name -- donny -- and would act as an important constant in nessa's life for the next good number of years. from mid-elementary to late junior high, nessa did his best to visit donny frequently and give him attention. one night nessa went to the river only to see a bit of red staining grass of its bed, a red that seeped into the river and dispersed. no naive child, it was no surprise to him when he found his dear friend feebly hissing over a slain predator of some sort. his companion had fought hard and won, but at a fatal price. that night donny died, but nessa soon found that his death was not the end. it seemed donny found a new home within him, a fact he discovered when upon going into one of his usual rages he found himself swinging wings and hissing rather than screaming and throwing fists. after donny's death the river never really felt the same. even if he could take on his fallen buddy's appearance, he was still alone by the cold edge of the water. so, instead of channeling energy into the river and its happenings, he instead focused more on background activities. he'd picked up hurdling early in his junior high career and soon was hopping them whenever he was frustrated or upset. thinking it would be another good use of energy, nessa took to organizing and recording his possessions and schedule. as he grew older he gained a firmer grasp on that elusive trait -- control -- that he had been lacking and yearning. it was then no surprise when he went to high school and thew himself into the sport he enjoyed and joined the student council. both would hopefully bring him a bit more power in their own ways, and with that power more control. + despite his were-animal, nessa really hates heights and has a crippling fear of falling. + nessa really despises his first name, and as a result goes by "presley" -- his middle name -- whenever possible. + thanks to his experience in animal form and with donny, nessa tends to hiss when upset. usually for just a second before changing to the usual yelling. + once he turned sixteen nessa left his parents' home to live on his own. it's been tough balancing all his activities along with a job to support himself, but he's managed it without going completely grey. + nessa is an insomniac, and spends many nights simply reorganizing, cleaning, and otherwise maintaining his home and himself. when he can sneak onto the track he likes to jump hurdles as well. ooc name: GROWL [b]hirunaka no ryuusei[/b] - daiki mamura, [i]nessa stetton[/i] |
