underGROUND

[Everoy]

Name: Spencer "Spence" Van Zandt
Gamertag: Zeraphim
Age: 19
Gender: Male
Appearance: Spence is about 6'2" with a somewhat muscular build. He has short very dark brown hair that looks black if you aren't looking closely, styled like this, and green eyes speckled with hazel. He wears glasses with hipstery thick black square frames. Clothing-wise, he usually goes with long-sleeve shirts layered with plain t-shirts over them, generally some mix of black, red, brown, green, orange, and white, and cycles between four pairs of jeans, all of which look thoroughly worn.
Personality: Spence is not your typical gamer. He is very outgoing and tries to get along with everyone. He likes joking around with people. He's generally a pushover, and deals with conflict poorly. He's usually very self-confident to the point where he's seen as cocky. In one-on-one private conversation he can be very deep, emotional, and sympathetic, but if he's in a group that all goes out the window and he focuses more on the group as a whole than any specific person, often ignoring someone if they're being emotional. Spence is also openly gay, but he sees it as just another fact about him and never really had any difficulty with it.
Chosen Game: Psychonauts
Chosen Character: Razputin "Raz" Aquato
History: Spence has always found a lot of enjoyment in video games, and grew up on Pokemon and Zelda. Until he was ten, almost all of his free time was spent on video games - he had few friends, aside from those who also played video games as much as he did. His parents finally said enough was enough, and limited the time he spent on games. He started making new friends at school who didn't play video games as much, and slowly he stopped playing them altogether, aside from Pokemon and Zelda which he still held near and dear to his heart. At 13, Spence came out as gay, which surprised nobody - he wasn't very flamboyant or anything, but it just seemed like a logical thing for him to be. When he was 15, he started dating Justin, who was always a very dedicated gamer and brought Spence back into his old obsession. He found a particular adoration for RPG platformers such as the Zelda games he was always so fond of, and the weirder or more obscure the plot, the better. When the boys were both 18, the laws against gaming came into being, and Justin became one of the leaders of an organization that organized several riots. Spence refused to take part in the riots, as he was never one to put himself in harm's way, especially at the hands of the government. One of the riots turned extremely violent and Justin was killed by a cop. Spence, extremely distressed by the death of his boyfriend of three years, found notes about the underGROUND in one of Justin's journals, and he instantly devoted himself to it.
Other: Surprise, I made another gay character. Lol.

Tada. ^_^
