Personal Information:
    [/b] John C. Fremont High
    Year: Senior

    Name: Anthony Q. Cullen
    Alias: Dox
    Date of Birth: November 10, 1992
    Age: 17
    Nationality: American/British
    Place of birth: New York, America
    Ethnicity: British
    Blood Type: O+
    Height: 5’5
    Weight: 130lbs
    Handedness: Right
    Religion: Agnostic
    Sexual Orientation: Bisexual[/ul]

    Physical Appearance:

    Anthony is physically svelte, being that even though he is only 5’5 at 130lbs he still can come off to some people as frail, not having very much in the way of muscle definition. Likewise to a large extent his physical appearance is androgynous, sporting no facial hair and a light looking build he can quite commonly be mistaken for a girl or younger than he actually is. His hair is only going down to the mid point of his neck other than a bang that ends slightly below the corner of his lip. His eyes usually are highlighted with some sort of makeup depending on how he chooses, more often than not only black eyeliner on the waterline and light eye shadow. Overall his physical proportions are spot on with the rest of the human race.

    On the back of his neck in the middle is a ring surrounding a Baphomant head, the horn’s appearing lodged at the tip by horizontal bars on the upper segment of the ring as the chin is resting on a vertical bar that is located at the bottom of the circle.

    Last thing of note about his physical appearance is a piercing on the right eyebrow and lower right lip as well as a set of 4 studs in each ear.

    Apparel & Accessories: His appearance as far as clothing is concerned is to broad a spectrum, having clothing from almost any clique or subculture and generally mix and matching them to fit his daily taste, half the time he is usually wearing a combination of semi tight fitting jean’s and shirts that show off the curves in his body; On other occasions he has been known to wear clothing that looks like he could use as a parachute in case he fell off a large building.

    But for shoes he tends to gravitate toward low top sneakers and shin high boots. Usually with not so eye catching designs if any at all and usually in only black and white color’s and textures.

    Past shoe’s there is only one other thing of note, that being his obsession with hats, his favorites being beanies, boonies, derby, beret, top hat, and chullo. These on the other hand have many varying designs depending on which of the many he chooses to wear other than the berets which are solid colors.

    Personality:


    Alignment: Chaotic good


    Strangers: Generally around strangers Dox can come off as shrewd but pleasant, generally not putting himself on the high seat, though he also can come off as somewhat bashful and also he will always present himself in a much more polite nature as to get a feel for people and not offend them (Much). He is easily approachable, but completely unreliable, hard to trust and not very open about anything related to himself.

    Friends: The people that he does become close with, generally get to see a rather different side of him, though for some this change isn’t always a good thing. Going from a rather semi quiet and passive individual he makes the change to his attitude. This generally mean’s that he will become substantially more talkative, vulgar, and perverted, more open about his opinions, and occasionally overstep the “privacy” barrier with a common interest in other people’s personal lives. One thing that doesn’t change however is the fact that he still doesn’t generally like to talk about himself past some of the most basic things like age, weight and such. Anything that is really more important will either be side stepped or he just won’t answer.

    Fight: The difference between his normal personality telecast and his fighting telecast is actually quite different, particularly in how loud, energetic, and determined he is. His generally calm personification suddenly becomes much fiercer and his disposition seems expand as he deliberately makes himself seem “bigger”.


    Romantic interest: Get to that point.(literally)

    Overall: On the outside he can come off as shy, and yet not so reclusive. To a great extent he is a habitual line stepper when it comes to peoples personal lives while maintaining seclusion when his own is brought up. Mildly trustworthy as a friend and even though he can come off as overly rude and perverted he generally means well.

    Miscellaneous Information:

    Brand of cigarettes: Winfield
    5 octave vocal range

    Can easily impersonate any accent he is exposed too
    He was born while his mother was visiting a friend in the states.
    Wasn’t aware of his American citizenship.
    Born when his mother was visiting a friend in the states a month early.

      Strength:D
      Dexterity:B
      Constitution:C
      Wisdom:C

      Fighting style


      Technique: Tae Kwon Do

      Years practiced: 13

      Rank: 1st degree black belt

      Favored Attack: Back kick
      Favored Poomse: Koryo

      Description A well know fighting style that has become one of the largest communities in the world, hosting over 13 million practitioner as well as becoming an Olympic certified sport. The art of Tae Kwon Do born by the Hwarang is the practice of fighting opponents when unarmed, primarily focused around high powered or very fast kicks, though there are attacks that are obviously done with the arms’ they are generally nothing more than a way to distance, daze, or to distract an opponent and open them up for a very powerful counter attack.

      There are some grapples to be noted but they are primarily done through counter attacks, likewise this style uses a great deal of twisting/rotation movements to build power. Beyond that it boasts many movements that can be interchanged from an attack to a defensive movement.

      Many of the movements of the style are also very easily chained together depending on how you choose, thus giving the option to be a relentless attack for, which though can be a very effective way of beating an opponent, the trade off is heavy stamina consumption.

      It is also noted that many practitioners have a tendency to yell a lot while performing attacks, by doing so it displays there “spirit” so to speak, a method to undermine there opponents confidence, or to simply squeeze more power out of there own attacks. Also notable is the fact that many will keep there eyes in front, not looking at the ground, not off to the side, but in front, always ahead with there head level.

      Strengths:
      Strength based: Miniscule, there is ultimately no boon based on strength to his style.

      Dexterity: This is the bread and butter of his damage. Because of his lack of physical strength he makes up for it with velocity and chambering motions to maximize damage and supplement for physical pitfalls. Likewise it helps him with blocks and evasion if need be.

      Constitution: Boasting an average longevity he obviously won’t use his energy with excess movement, but he has enough to take a hit or two, or too unload a decently damaging string of attacks (primarily it is not his physical defense this applies too rather his endurance).

      Wisdom: An average perception, he is capable of iffy predictions of people, enough that he can make a counter or block if he picks up on things in time.

      Appearance/mannerisms: The strength of his fighting is that he appears weak, something that he will play to his advantage to lead people into letting down there guard due to false concepts of him not being able to lay out a fast and powerful attack or string.

      Flexibility: Due to the level of stretching needed to perform certain kicks he has become quite limber, allowing him to bend in way people normally can’t useful for getting that extra height on a kick or getting out of the way at the last second and giving tolerance to submission locks.

      Overall: Small and angular, flexible as all hell, and capable of impressive damage if given the chance to land one of the more powerful kicks, being fast and using this to quickly chamber and snap kicks also to add some modicum of power while also allowing him to get out of the way. Likewise he isn’t blind to an opponent completely and has some staying power in a fight.

      Weaknesses: Without even pointing out the statistics it’s painfully obvious that for the most part he can inflict a minor level of damage with most of his basic attacks. Thus to do anything outside of playing a gnat he has to go for high risk heavy hits which generally leave him very open to counter attacks. Likewise, because of his small build if someone were to get on top of him before he can react he is essentially a rag doll. His biggest downfall is that he needs a certain level of distance to be even remotely effective and also to do any real damage he must aim for key targets with high damage and high risk moves.

      Overall: If his range is cut, a kick screwed up, or knocked down, he is in serious trouble. There is also the risk of someone actually powering through his kick which once again… he is in for some hurt due to only normal constitution.[/ul]

      History: (warning, its long and quite possibly boring, if you don’t feel like reading a lot of back story then skip to 11-present (though I like it))
      In the beginning(birth~2)


      Anthony was the product of a one night stand between a pair of high school students, obviously a couple at the time, though when the male of the pair caught wind of his mother becoming pregnant with Anthony he quickly took off, primarily out of fear for the reprimand of his parents, and leaving the pregnant woman all on her own. This was the start of what many would consider a rather uneventful life.

      Though things weren’t so bad as Andrea (Anthony’s mother) wasn’t ridiculed by her own parents to the extent that many are. Rather she agreed that she would allow her to stay in the family home under the strict requirement that she had to continue to maintain grades in school as well as find a way to afford the child. Ultimately however when the child was born Andrea had to drop out of her education, being incapable of juggling the two without either suffering, but it wasn’t to bad, though uneducated she had become rather experienced in her tasks at the work place, and began assisting in the bills at home.

      Then came maternal leave, or in the case of some… the big issue. Granted her side of the family took it quite well, the Andrea now fully capable of supporting a child for the most part, saw it as something to be happy about, though there was one glum person present, and that was the father. Though he had run off and thought himself free of this unfortuitous mistake that he ultimately had created, Andrea’s parents saw fit to inform his the male half of this child’s parents, and they themselves quickly made it quite clear the shame that they had felt for there son.

      Though he still was far to immature, he was also present when the baby was born, and as a sort of lock and key (at least as far as he was concerned) was when he found out that the baby’s name, Anthony Jr.

      So now born, with an ultimately transparent father and a work crazed mother trying to make ends meet to keep the clothes on his back and etc, he had fallen into the care of his grand parents. Primarily due to the grandmother only working half time as a keep busy retiree and the grandfather fulltime retirement, Andrea however doing the best she could to keep in the child’s’ life.

      Year 2

      Through the beginning of his life he was cared for by his grand parents, the mother essentially had become the main source of income for the household with bother her parents no longer working full time or at all, in return they would during the day take charge of the child knowing that she was doing her best to be there for everyone. Things were looking well, this of course being until she once again started talking to the father of her child, finally out of school, working but with more free time on his hands took a renewed interest in the child, partly due to his own parents but perhaps a sense of duty. Whatever his reason he worked at an uphill battle to try and salvage the relationship he had two years present as well as actually showing his face around his young son. So much so that to a great extent the two were considered by both parties as a couple again, and that’s when the father’s parents began plotting.

      Family (2~6)
      [/b]

      Feelings restored, a family repaired, but something was missing, at least form the father’s side of the family was concerned. The child in there eyes was a bastard, considering the mother as more of a babysitter and hardly family. Already two years after Anthony had been born and not a mention of him had escaped there lips for fear of being embarrassed that there son had a child but not a wife, as far as they were concerned there was something still yet to be done and like the meddlesome people they were they very quickly began urging there counterparts as well as there son toward a marriage.

      Though Andrea’s parents agreed, they also thought that it was in fact far too soon, her parents putting little faith in Anthony to be a faithful father, and clearly showing doubt that he was even remotely mature enough to step into the fulltime shoe’s of a parent. Obviously they had faith that in time he would be ready, and were willing to give him the opportunity to prove himself. This being the first wedge driven between the two parties, Anthony’s side wanting a direct marriage and forcing the idea on there son while Andrea’s parents were against it and the son being caught up in the middle of it all.

      The argument escalating to great extent as a year past and clearly it was affecting the boy as he began being far more partial to his mother, not because he began to dislike his father to any extent but because of him becoming a lesser entity in his life. The thing about all this was that at first his mother paid as little attention to the fact this was happening and only was truly forced to see it for what it was when she was brought in by his kindergarten teacher and asked Anthony his father’s name and his response was that he didn’t have one.

      It was roughly at this point and time when his mother caved to the other half of the “family” and eventually agreed to the marriage so that her son could actually be raised in a proper family and though it wasn’t something that she really felt comfortable with if nothing else the two had mended a rather nasty fallout, but with all the planning going on and Anthony’s grand parents getting older, he was starting to become a little much when he hit the age of four, becoming more and more energetic and uncontrollable as time went on, which led Anthony to be dumped into a martial art’s class as not only an outlet for his energy but also for the “discipline” it would teach him.

      So now to an extent Anthony was out of the way, and he seemed to be enjoying his new pastime, while at the same time it gave the adults time sort out the whole marriage situation, something that would continue to move drudgingly slow for the next two years due to spats of anger, constant fallouts between the two sides.

      Working through (7~10)
      [/b]

      A marriage on the way, a child who is more focused on his martial art’s and in school, completely disassociated with the problems his mother and grand parents are dealing with. Taking a great obsession in comic books was perhaps the first big change that occurred that was even remotely out of his normal life. While outside his little shell of a world finally both sides of the family had come to an agreement on funds, location and all the extra things that would come along with the union. Though while all this was going on, there was Anthony, and though no one really noticed it, he had become somewhat distant from reality. More often than not practicing, studying or simply delving into the adventures of superheroes he was so fond of. This being a major point in the boys’ life as in some ways he had began to subconsciously model some of the characteristics of his own life after what he had read.

      Though in many cases it got to the point where he had become neglected once more no one could really tell what with all the issues the adults were going through and him acting like business as usual. The fact of the matter however was that he had absolutely no interest in his father at this point, and understood his mothers’ problems and did his best to ultimately avoid her when she was busy. For the most part he had begun considering his grandfather as a real parent as it was he who put Anthony into his Tae Kwon Do class, and even taught him things, the simple things like cooking basic meals and laundry and such, and pretty much be there for him when everyone else was caught up in everything else.

      A year later at age eight, there Anthony was watching his mother and some guy walking up the isles in a cheap suit, for him marriage didn’t make much sense to begin with, much less if it was someone that wasn’t even enjoyable. Though he had asked many times to his grandfather he would always get a crude chuckle and the usual “you will understand when you’re older.” Excuse, and then off the pair went leaving the boy with the elders, or rather both sides of the family.

      This is when Anthony truly understood how to be rebellious, particularly because his “fathers” parents were very proper, and generally very still lipped, making him do things he normally wouldn’t care for, pointless things such as trying to make him read cultured literature, not letting him play, or pretty much anything that didn’t fit there model… which in retrospect was rather pathetic considering how there own child acted. Suffice to say it was heavily on there side that he took up his nickname which was never issued because of hobby or anything but rather he refused to answer to them by his given name, this being his first small step toward rebelling.

      Then with his parents return, again his life was about to change. Primarily due to his mother and father deciding it was best if they would move out of the grand parents house and strike out on there own, even with there income issues and as young as they were. This really was not large as they remained in London, but for a child at his age it still felt like he was being uprooted and that for him moving to an unfamiliar location… it was difficult. The interesting thing about this however was through the whole next year; it actually did become a family feel in there new and small home.

      Happy breakdown (11~17)
      [/b]

      Through his 11 and 12 years, his parents already saw a rather unfortunate thing in there son, particularly in that he wasn’t really… what they could call a son. With all the time they spent squabbling, between work, relationships, marriage… they had lost something, and that was there son. By lost, it wasn’t his life, or his sanity… nothing so extreme. However, it became very apparent that he considered neither of them as his parents; the family concept in his head toward them had dissolved. Things such as calling him by his name no longer worked, it was Dox or Jr., but other than that he wouldn’t respond… not even deliberately, it had just become engrained that he didn’t associate with his given name.

      By the time he was 13 it became absolutely pointless to even think of him as there son and rather treat him like a guest that comes and goes. Never worrying about feeding him as he had learned how to ultimately take care of himself and sate the most basic needs of life. Just about the only thing he ever came to them for was to have a permission slip signed for various things in school and whatever he felt like doing to himself such as piercings (his father of course not signing these). Beside that he didn’t share in the family faith. Though it isn’t correct to say he didn’t care about them… for him they were like his friends… but for his parents that didn’t seem like it was good enough as just before his 14th birthday he was no longer the only child in the house, his little brother Theo being born. For Dox… this had was nothing large, and yet for his parents… this was to there great dismay truly a second try, to do it right and likewise there biggest mistake.

      By 14 everything had seemed fine, a new child. Dox performing well in his classes, brining home some money from whatever work he could find, and generally didn’t bring any trouble into the house even keeping his mutual other out of the house and taking care of his little brother when no one else was able. Though Dox would never admit it, he enjoyed watching over his brother because for him this was the first time he ever really felt like he had family, and would constantly be watching out for him over the years as like every time…

      Age 15 for the family… the redundant cycle once more had begun Anthony Elder was still nothing but a useless child, and found that the baby was hardly a blessing… but more a pest, he could never get sleep. He never wanted to deal with the child, which eventually led to Andrea being forced to work half time to take care of the child. The father of course once more doing anything and everything to not be home.

      It was obvious that he was the source of all the issues… he was too big for his britches and didn’t have the ability to handle what he made. Andrea constantly began arguing with him, and strife took over the household like it had over the many years. Until finally his father found a job in America, it was at this point he began a divorcé suit against his wife, which was perhaps the best thing for everyone. The issue was that to get to America for this job he would need money… and Dox now at the ripe age of 16 had been saving money his whole life and only bits went to the house.

      What this ultimately led to, when the divorcé went through he wanted custody of a child… and though this would normally have been a impossible claim however the father turned around and used Andrea’s willingness to give Dox his own freedom against her. Stating that he was generally not able to work because she was at home, that if he had the chance he could raise a child properly so they didn’t grow up getting piercings, smoking and drinking, and disrespecting there parents. Thought it took a bit of convincing… it ultimately worked out, the problem was that he didn’t really say which child he had wanted.

      What happened next? As he had planned, when Andrea was about to sign over Theo, the elder son was quick to be the one forced into his fathers custody… knowing that this useless jerk was unfit to be a parent he was not willing to subjugate his only family tie to this man. Perhaps the only thing the now 17 year old ever did for his mother as a gesture of faith in her as more than a friend. Though like Anthony elder had planned, Dox’s funds all fell to his control due to the account not being under his name. The money of course quickly wasted for the next flight to America, a place to stay. Though Dox was in a slightly different position as compared to his father due to birth place, his father had long since applied for a proper license.
