SHINING OH SO BRIGHTLY

<span style='font-size:7pt;line-height:100%'>Personality Traits: (Five main personality traits, please.)
General Personality: (Two to three paragraphs, at least.)

Jonathon Bright? You mean JJ, right? God, nobody calls JJ 'Jonathon'...that's way too formal for a guy like him. He's the sort of guy that sits in his chair all lesson, idly chewing gum and watching the seconds tick by lazily on the clock whilst compiling a mental list of celebrities he'd most like to screw. Yeah, that sort of kid. The only people who call him Jonathon are his mother, the head-teacher and his kid sister - and he can barely tolerate it. For him, there's nothing worse than being called by his full name. To him, his full name reeks of barely-supressed pretentiousness and snobbish behaviour that really just isn't him. JJ is more likely to be found taking out the trash-can than sitting inside playing chess. Besides. Chess is boring. In fact, JJ is the very definition of 'disaffected' - that is, he honestly couldn't be bothered with school. The subjects that he tries hard at he excels in simply because he tries, which is all very well, but JJ has to take subjects that he doesn't particularly like too. Overall, he averages out at about A/B, mainly because of his science grades. Trying to make JJ enthusiastic about sciences is like trying to put out a fire with kerosene....it just doesn't work. Not only that, but the whole attitude he projects to his teachers is one of insufferable boredom - eyes rolling, legs lolling and jaw constantly occupied with chewing the same piece of gum. However, the attitude he projects to his peers is completely different. To his peers, he is undoubtedly quiet, but also very sociable. There's nothing he enjoys more than just being with his friends, absorbing their company. Of course, he doesn't always contribute to the conversation, but he's always there - a solid presence offering the occasional nugget of wisdom or sarcastic comment on the proceedings.

Of course, there's a reason behind his unique personality, as there is to everything. And it's pretty safe to say that who JJ is stems from his 'power' - that is, the ability to sense things in a super-human sort of way. To be precise, everything that he sees, hears, feels, tastes and smells is magnified to almost dizzying proportions. Understandably, this can be incredibly annoying, as on a bad day, the slightest smell in the air can be overpowering, and a hint of colour can be blinding. At his old school in London, his teachers used to comment on the strength of his power, and the relative weakness of his control over it - and behind closed doors, expressed concern over his wellbeing. After all, it's hardly productive to be stricken with such sensitivity that somebody touching ones' arm turns into absolute agony upon contact. But perhaps what affects JJ the most is his sensitivity to noise. On a good day, he can be the center of all the action - the guy in the middle of the circle, cracking jokes and having a laugh. On other days, he can not emerge from his room all day, sat curled up on his bed wearing earphones and a pained expression. Even on an average day, people talking above normal voice-level is painful, causing him to retreat into the relative safety of the library or his room. Of course, he never studies, but he does write, and write, and write.

Along with writing, JJ loves music. Due to his supernatural hearing, he always displayed a talent for analysing and composing music - at the age of 15, he prefers to play the cello, the acoustic guitar, and the piano. Perhaps this is because all these instruments have the capability to be quiet and mellow as well as passionate and intense - or perhaps it's because he genuinely likes those instruments. Either way, on an exceptionally good day, JJ can be found in the music room, creating beautiful strains of music, or crouched in the shade of a tree with his acoustic guitar, crooning to himself with his eyes closed. If anybody approaches him during this time, he either snaps at them, his eyes flashing and his fists clenching - or he smiles, and invites them to sit down and join in with making music with him. Again, it depends entirely on what sort of day it is. Luckily for him, he had plenty of friends back in England who understood this, but of course, things have changed. People are reluctant to put up with his rapid mood-swings and changes in personality, simply because it's too much effort. That said, he has made some good friends, but he's nowhere near as popular as he was back in England. To be honest, he doesn't care. To him, social standings aren't that important - although he loves to be in a social setting, he's more or less accepted now that unless he gets a hold on his powers, he won't be able to function in a normal society. And what's the point in being sociable anyway, when all of your friends are dead and buried?


Likes:
Dislikes:
Habits:

. Trying to isolate the sense that is the most important, and ignoring everything else. For example, if he's listening to somebody, he will close his eyes so his brain isn't overloaded with sensory information.
. Sitting with his knees drawn right up to his chest. He doesn't do this conciously, but it can intimidate people who want to talk to him because he's so closed up.
. Retreating to his room when things get too much for him, into the quiet and solitude of a locked room. It can't be healthy, can it?
. Running his hands through his hair when he's frustrated. There's quite a lot to run his hands through, so his hands always get stuck at the end, and the feeling of the hair on his hands only irritates him more.
. Spending too much time on his own. Although JJ is a social creature at heart, circumstances mean that he doesn't spend as much time as he'd like with the people that he likes.
. Being reluctant to get physically close to somebody. This is particularly noticable in his relationships with women - he refuses to be touchy-feely with them, because on a subconcious level, he fears the physical intimacy that might bring. Because for him, physical intimacy literally hurts.

Pet Peeves:

Loud, obnoxious people. They get on his nerves, because they never seem to show consideration for the fact that JJ hates loud noises.
