Dylan Papadopoulos

••APPEARANCE••

EYES: Light, sky blue
HAIR: Light blonde, cut very short, and usually a bit messy, with a few strand on top randomly spiked up
BODY TYPE: He is very tall (and has always been big for his age), beefy & muscular, especially in his arms
BODY MODIFICATIONS: None
OTHER DISTINGUISHING FEATURES: None

…

CLOTHING: He often likes to wear athletic clothes, such as football jerseys and track pants, and also just regular "casual" clothes (plain t-shirts, polo shirts and blue jeans.) He also often wears his letterman jacket.

••PERSONALITY••

DISPOSITION: While he fits the old "dumb jock/bully" stereotype quite well he is a little (just a little XD) more complicated than that. The depression he unknowingly suffers from rules his emotions and sometimes causes him to have mood swings that can seem sudden and random, leaving people to wonder "what's his problem?" (And he often finds himself asking the same question.) He is quick to anger, even getting a bit violent at times, and often uses it to mask whatever pain he is feeling at the time. He is much more sensitive than he lets on and prefers to be alone in his darkest moments (especially because he tends to burst into tears when very upset and doesn't want anyone to see him cry.) But when he's in a better spirits he's loud, fun, and full of energy. 

…

MANNERISMS: He's well aware of how big and intimidating he looks and likes to show that off, often standing tall with his chest puffed out, and he loves looming over those who are shorter than him. But as much as he likes attention he sort of sees Maverick as the "leader" of their little group of friends and, when they're around each other, tends to follow his lead somewhat and respond to and play off things he says and does rather than make comments of his own. 

…

Traits: moody, competitive, athletic, brash, macho, sensitive, gloomy, confused, jealous, lonely

√Likes: sports, parties, outdoor activities, attention/praise, his mom

⊗Dislikes: other macho guys, school, math, his dad (sometimes), being ignored/misunderstood

…

VOICE: I hate to admit it, but I always thought he'd sound like Ashton Kutcher (particularly as he sounds in That 70's Show.) lmao. He's got that dopey, big dumb jock sort of voice. XD 

••QUICK BIO••

Dylan is the adopted son of two people who seem to have no business being together, as all they ever do is fight, which only adds to his anxiety & depression. It wasn't always this way though, and his family has at least been quite well off and never struggled with money. His early teen years were where things started to fall apart, as his relationship with his best friend (Maverick) started to change and his parents' marriage became even more strained. He tries his best to put it all aside and focus his energy on partying and playing football, though there are times when it's all too much for him to handle.

••RANDOM FACTS••

• He has never met his birth parents before, nor does he know he was actually born outside the United States
  
• Before Kelley came along he considered Maverick his best friend, and he's always been quite jealous of him for "stealing" him away, which is why they've never gotten along very well
  
• Ever since he was a child he and his father have taken a once yearly RV camping trip on his birthday (though he's not sure yet whether he will want to go on his 18th birthday, given how he feels about his dad now)
  
• His dad is also the reason he has a "love/hate" relationship with football now, as he was the one who pushed him into it in the first place
  
• As he gets older he becomes much more interested in boxing than football
