PRESLEY, ivan

[attr="class","hdtitle"]PERSONALITY

[attr="class","hdinfo"]Ivan has a tendency to act about half his age most of the time, but with sexual innuendos wherever he can put them in. Don't get him wrong- he knows when a situation is serious, and needs to be taken seriously- but why be serious all the time when life is made for fun and games?

While he can understand the situation, though, he's not so good at understanding the feelings of the person involved. He may not understand (at first) why getting face planted with a water balloon in the middle of the night would anger someone, or how certain jokes could really hurt someone's feelings. He's horrible at thinking these things through beforehand either, so he has a tendency to do stupid things. 

However, Ivan is a caring individual. As soon as he's realized a person is genuinely hurt, he will go out of his way to make amends and put a smile on their face. After the initial confusion and frustration, of course.

Such childish behavior and more innocent face can make his deviant side rather hard to believe at first, but allow me to assure you right here Ivan is no angel, and has dabbled in many.. intimate studies that have made his conversations quite lewd and inappropriate at a given time.

This is combined with a lack of shame can lead to hilarious results, such as moaning in public, lewd comments at any passerbys, and pranks that can lead to a far more sexual nature than originally intended. He is not afraid to look like an idiot to fluster someone, but serious flirting will always be done in private, as he does like to work in more quiet conditions. One night stands are not uncommon  with him, either. 

Last but not least to warn you of, Ivan is a risk taker. If it's something dangerous, he will definitely check it out just to say he did it. This behavior is mostly for show, though, as the boy considers himself an entertainer above all else, made to please the crowds.

~Things to note~

• Ivan is bad at taking compliments, as he believes his brother to be better than him- and will point this out while receiving the compliment.

• Ivan in general finds it hard to put himself before others, especially those he cares about. Getting him to do so and verbalize when he has an issue with you will be a problem.

• Funnily enough, when Ivan is not being a sexual deviant, he's a mighty fine poet, and really enjoys reading it- not that he'd let anyone know that, as it's rather embarrassing for him.

• When Ivan is upset, he has a tendency to laugh more.

[attr="class","hdtitle"]HISTORY/MISC.

[attr="class","hdinfo"]Honestly, Ivan is the classic result of parents playing favorites. From the moment he was born his parents expected just a bit too much of them, but who could really blame them? His older brother, Harry, had really become something special at that point, already winning his first piano recitals, maintaining good grades.


It was only natural that when Ivan turned out to struggle in school, his parents would be extremely disappointed. Unfortunately, this means Ivan got far less attention, and when he did, it was to compare him to his brother. While his brother tried to handle this on a more intimate level with him, and remind him he was his own person, it was two voices against one. And as much as Ivan likes to move past it and live his life, being the inferior always stuck with him.


He did try to please others in non-academic ways, though, which is where his risk-taking attitude developed. Unfortunately, this normally led to scolding from his parents, or his brother, or even his teachers. He just felt lost, at such a point, like nothing he really did was ever right, or good enough.


So when a gang leader finally came to him and told him he had potential, well, he'd have been an idiot to turn away from that.


Ivan spent his middle school years in a local youth gang, and boy, did he learn quickly. He learned how to woo people into staying out of trouble, how to vandalize. He mimicked them to the point his parents had entirely given up. 


In all honesty, sending Ivan here wasn't to fix him. It was to send him away, and separate him from his gang activities. Ivan knew that, and while it hurts him slighly, he won't dare admit that. Instead, he'll just do as he always does: commence in horrible shenannigans, and have a good time. No matter who has a problem with that- or, at least, that is his goal.
