Player Handle: Jessica, Jess, "Hey New Kid", Zen.

Cannon Or Original?: Original.
Character Name: Quim Letitia
Aliases: 'Princess Candypants' by some of the other more charming children back home.
Special Abilities: Particularly good at pyrokinesis and levitation.
Profession: Psy-Cadet at Whispering Rock. Does that count?
Skills: Good at climbing trees; Excellent swimmer; Can recognize an insect from a mile away.
Weaknesses: Clingy towards his friends, which can be annoying; Burns things when he's mad, which can be troublesome (At least he's not burning people); If left alone for too long or suddenly abandoned, can become very unstable.
Special Note: Quim is what most people call 'gay'. He's sorta aware of this fact, but not entirely.
Age: 10
Gender: Male. Obviously.
Description: The first thing that should be addressed is Quims height; For 10, he's rather tall, about half a head taller than most of the other kids in camp. He's also fairly thin and long-limbed. But more on that later.
Quim's skin is a pale-yellow, almost white. His head is a bit big, but not grotesquely so. His face is long and rectangular, with barely a chin to speak of. Thankfully, his face evens out; His eyes are large and oval, with the upper-eyelids visible. The eyes, a startling green, stretch from a little above his ears, which are small, round and high on his head, to the start of his cheeks. The lower half of his face is smaller than the upper half, ending in a small, almost-not-there-but is, chin. His nose has a long bridge that starts from above his eyes, and ends with a small, slightly upward nose, just below the eyes.
His hair is a dark blue. It's short, but it has body; It tapers in uneven parts a little below the base of the skull, volumizing a bit towards the top until it reaches the 'crown' of the head, where it flattens, and then grows out into large bangs. The bangs have three particular spiked points; One is high and pointing almost upwards; The second is smaller and droops a bit; And the third is beneath the second, but much larger than the previous two, and starts from the left corner of his forehead and dapers off into a soft, but large, tuft of hair.
Two peculiar things about Quim's head of hair: In the center of the 'crown' is a particular strand of hair that won't go down, no matter how many times you brush it. It's long, upright, and curls at the top, like a swirl. Another aspect of this FASCINATING speciman of human hair is the white 'skunk stripe' on the largest part of his bangs. No one knows how it got there. He was just sorta born with it.
Connecting his head to his body is his neck, which is possibly his most average feature. His shoulders are not at all wide, running about the length of his head, and his torso is quite long and thin. His arms are, like his neck, average; They end at his hips, with average-sized palms and small fingers. His legs are a different story; They're longer than his torso by far, with small feet.
Quim is actually a very pretty boy and has tons of girls falling for his good looks. His only problem is having a person with poor description skills describe him.
Clothing Style/Uniform:
Torso: A dark green T-shirt from his favorite comic book series; Zombie Lawyer. On the chest, the words "Zombie Lawyer" are enveloped in pale yellow, while a bit lower on the shirt is a gavel crossing over a brain. Due to being worn so often, the letters and image have dulled and faded in certain areas.
Legs: A pair of quasi-bell bottom jeans. They're still fairly blue, thanks to his parents buying them for him before leaving for camp.
Feet: A pair of red converse sneakers.
Family:
Mother: Cherry Letitia. 35. A homemaker who makes the most delicious pies in the whole neighborhood (G-Man?). Loves the dessert so much, she named her daughter 'Pai'. Very zen-like.
Father: Richard Letitia. 35. Works as a marriage counselor. Very stressed man with a thinning hairline, who worries constantly about the well being of his children. Considering who his children are, you should pity him.
Sibling(s): Pai Letitia. 7. Quim's sister and star of the Suburban Girl Scouts. She sold over 3,000 cookies in 24 hours one time, making her the best scout. She's not willing to let that title go, so it is not uncommon for her to make threats of knee-busting to any and all girls who show potential to be better than her.
Personality: If you looked up 'mellow' in the dictionary, chances are, you'd see Quim's picture next to it. He's a very calm, cheery kid who doesn't let the small things bother him. He likes to make friends, and even if he is a bit clingy, people tend to like him, too. Being picked on most of his life, insults hold little punch anymore, so it's hard to tick off Quim; He personifies the saying "Like water off a duck's back"; Which means he lets most things slide. With a smile. He's even taken a liking to rating some of the insults people throw his way!
Still, this doesn't mean he's completely immune to negative emotions. Like everyone else, he gets sad, angry... But it rarely shows. He dislikes sharing his problems with others, because he doesn't want to ruin their own mood. And perhaps, the insults and jabs on his behalf hurt him more than he's willing to admit in public...
When he DOES become visibly angry, watch out, because you will be in for the verbal assault of your life, possibly coupled with something burning. He usually only becomes this angry when something bad happens to his friends, or if he finally snaps at his own tormentors, which has happened before.
Quirks: While he found out about psychics, and that he was one, by reading the Psychonaut comics, he wasn't a big fan of the comics themselves. He's not really intent on becoming a Psychonaut, either; He sorta just wanted to come to Whispering Rock because he thought that no one there could make fun of his Psychic abilities.
He also uses Pyrokinesis as a form of meditation; He can often be seen outside, burning something, controlling the fire with ease and Buddha-like zen. It helps him relax!
ALSO x 2: Quim has the odd habit of (Platonically, usually) flirting with people to make their day. It's his belief that being told you look good makes you feel good! Still, boys tend to think it's weird and girls often take him seriously, which eventually leads him to explaining that he finds girls pretty in the same way other people find flowers pretty; They're nice to look at, but you don't want to make-out with a plant. For some reason, they don't take kindly to the explaination...
Likes: Cloud watching; Warm weather; Swimming; Good People; Cute boys (Not that he fully realizes this); comic books; The comic 'Zombie Lawyer'; Studying bugs.
Dislikes: Tall buildings (Blocks the clouds); Jerks; Name-calling; Running for long periods of time; Manual labor (But he'll do it if he must); When his friends leave or go home; Being alone.
History: On March 6th, Quim Letitia was born to his Father, Richard, and Mother, Cherry. They lived a normal live in a normal suburb doing normal things, and eventually, Quim's little sister Pai was born and joined the normalcy of it all.
For the most part, Quim's life was average, or as average a life a psychic could lead. And ever since he started going to school, it always seemed like he was being picked on for his psychic abilities; Mostly because the other kids disliked him starting fires when he was mad, or super-happy, or sad, or....
Of course, later on, the children began picking on him for an entirely different reason; Because he was gay. Or at least that's what they would call him; He didn't even know what the word meant until he was about 8 or so. And he was pretty sure he wasn't...
Because of his pyrokinesis and being 'Princess Candypants', Quim grew up with few friends, and the ones that he did have were girls, as most of the boys stayed away from him. If he wasn't with his friends, he was probably out in the backyard, burning something, or in his room reading comics. This sort of behaviour continued, and at 9 years old, was asked by his parents if there were any social activities he'd like to join. He said he'd like to go to Whispering Rock Summer Camp, purposefully leaving 'Psychic' out. He showed them the brochure, but only long enough for them to see a few pictures and the contact information. They agreed to let him go when he was 10. They were just happy that he wanted to get out of the house.
At this point, 10 was still awhile off. He filled the remaining time by doing his usual routine, being picked on, and owning up to being gay. Once he did admit to liking boys (Although he wasn't 100% sure if he did yet), the kids mostly went back to pestering him about being a pyronut, althought you could still hear 'Princess Candypants' in the distance from time to time.
After Quim turned 10, he was sent on his way to Whispering Rock, where he now resides as a new cadet.
Picture: Reeeally wish I had that scanner, as I feel I've done a worse job describing him than I did Cassandra! Will include picture eventually.
Roleplay Sample: (Yeah, I know. Not required because I'm already accepted, but I want to do it anyway~)
It was a lazy Spring afternoon. It was closer to Summer, so it was warmer outside than it had been previously, making the weather perfect for playing, or working, or...
"Wow. That cloud looks like an unhappy platypus..."
... Doing nothing at all.
Which is what he was doing. Well, it wasn't really NOTHING; He was watching the clouds go by, sprawled out on the warm grass of his well-groomed front yard. Sure, he could've been playing with the other kids, or frolicking or whatever was cool these days, but the warmth of the day had gone to his head, making him quite complacent and perfectly content with just lying there.
"Hm... That one is DEFINITELY a neurotic gopher..."
Yeah, nothing at all was fine with him... Perfectly fine.
