Name: Raphael Zafeiris
Appearance: Raphael has short, light brown hair and blue eyes. He's clean shaven, but every now and then a few whiskers sprout up. He has a pretty bad case of dry skin, which means he has dandruff and flaky skin around the nose and eyebrows, but no one really notices unless he forgets to put on his lotion in the morning. Which almost never happens. He is fairly tall, taller than most people, but an average height for most basketball players. Most of the time you can find him wearing blue or grey jeans, his Game of Thrones Stark hoodie and a T-shirt when indoors, but outdoors he tends to wear a puffy black jacket over everything as well as his scarf, gloves and ski hat.
Personality: Raphael is very quiet, humble and altruistic. If anyone drops something, he'll always bend down to pick it up. He never picks fights and usually is the guy sitting in the corner reading a book. On the basketball court though, he plays aggressive.
Raphael also likes things to be very orderly and can't think straight if he doesn't have everything he needs to do written down, which is one of the reasons that his room is filled with to-do lists everywhere.
He's also relatively good in school, due to the rather rigorous international school system he's used to.
Hobbies: Basketball, E-Guitar, Electronics (Not really a hobby, just something he's interested in), Reading and gardening. Sort of. He had to build a hydroponic garden for a science experiment last year and since then he's kept growing stuff in it. Mainly because he spent so much on the darn thing in the first place.
Oh and gaming. But that's pretty much a given.
Family, Friends, Pets: Both parents, one sister named Courtney and a fat old Labrador named Nikki. No friends so far, since he's new in town.
Father, Cornelius Zafeiris: Works in international trade, organizing trade fairs and so on. His job is why they move a lot. He's a stern guy, but kind-hearted deep down. He tends to be away a lot of the time. He also grew up internationally, so it's hard to say what nationality he has except European.
Mother, Barbara Zafeiris: Unemployed. Very kind (Almost annoyingly so), and pretty airy, artsy-fartsy if you get what I mean. She once worked in music therapy because she is very good at singing and acoustic guitar (She suggested Raphael take up guitar lessons) but doesn't do it anymore.
Sister, Courtney: Courtney hangs out in popular cliques, but is never a leading figure in them. She constantly complains about her tiny imperfections that only she notices. She currently has a boyfriend, Daniel. They hang out a lot. She's also older than Raphael and in her graduating year. Thus, she's under a hell of a lot of stress and tends to lock herself in her room with her biology books for now. The two siblings get along well, although they both know exactly how to annoy the other. Courtney tends to let off steam about her social life by talking about it to Raphael, and likewise, Raphael tells her about what happens in the dream world to stay sane.
Dog, Nikki: Nikki is a fat Labrador. When she was adopted from a shelter, she was as skinny as a stick, but now she looks like a barrel with four legs, a tail and a head. She spends most of the day sitting at the window barking at birds and always waddles to the dinner table to beg for scraps. She's learned to ignore Raphael though, since he never eats meat.
Friends in other countries, Tony and Shaun: Tony and Shaun were Raphael's best friends in Germany. He skypes with them every now and then and once a year they might come over for a visit. Raphael has friends in France and other countries too, but none as close enough as to visit him from across the sea.
House: A town house fairly close to the city center. There are three stories plus a basement. The guest bedroom and storage are in the basement, as well as the heater. The first floor is home to the kitchen, dining room, living room and coat closet. And the garden/courtyard thingy too if you want to be picky. The second floor is the parent's bedroom, the office and their bathroom, and the third floor has Raphael's room, his sister's and their shared bathroom.
Room: It's pretty small, but Raphael still managed to cram a lot into it. There's a built in wardrobe that came with the house, as well as a built in desk/shelf thingy where he has his desktop (Which he built himself), his working desk for schoolwork, his bed, a small shelf for his books (Most of which are crammed under his bed because his shelf is too full) a chair and a window. Plus his guitar and amp.
Favorite Colors: Black and green.
Favorite Foods: He's pescetarian, so the only meat he eats is fish. His favorite food is pasta. And eclairs. But you can't get good ones here unfortunately. He also likes Chinese food, and there's a Chinese buffet near his house. Oh and sushi.
Favorite Drinks: Orangina, but you can't get it here. So he sticks with ice tea.
Favorite Songs: Arctic Monkeys, Vampire Weekend, (Pretty much all alternative songs) Imagine Dragons, Smashmouth and Queen. His all-time favorite band is the Red Hot Chili Peppers though, because it's so awesomely fun to play Under the Bridge on guitar.
Favorite Animals: Penguins are boss. And lions.
History: Raphael's dad's work requires that he moves a lot. Every four years, they go somewhere else. Raphael's lived in America, France, Germany and a lot of other European countries, so he's used to starting anew, like in this town. He never tends to make many friends wherever he goes, just one or two. In the last country, Germany, he manged to have five friends, so by now he has lots of friends from all over. It's just a bit hard to keep up with all of them. He started having lucid dreams at 13, which was around the age that he and his sister stopped fighting and actually sorta became friends. Thus, his sister is the only one to know that he does, and being able to confide in her helped him stay sane. He skipped second grade, which is why he's only fifteen in his sophomore years.
When he was younger, Raphael was not a popular kid. He hung out with the nerds pretty much all the time and was shunned by the popular people. At least, that's what it was like until his mom made him pick an instrument to play and he went through his growth spurt. When people found out he could play popular songs on guitar, he became "popular" for a bit, hanging in limbo between the social outcasts and the big cliques. Later in France, he found out he was good at basketball by joining a streetball game on a public field. Very soon afterwards, he joined the school basketball team.
So nowadays Raphael tends to balance out his days playing video games and D&D with his friends as well as training with the basketball team and practicing with his guitar tutor.
Weapon: Raphael uses a rapier in battle, but when behind the lines, he has a lute to aid his friends with magic.
Elemental Affinity: Aw man, I have to pick an element? Can't I just be an ordinary illusionist? If not, Ice then.
I hope this bio isn't too convulted ad hard to understand. I tried to make my character similar to myself. Dunno if it worked.
