Solo

Name: Solomon Kelvin Webb
House & Year: Ebonhide Junior
Hometown: Roatán, Honduras. It's no maj and totally normal, super fishing heavy island.
School History:
  • He started as a freshman!
  • I never named the school he went to before this, but he went to a local non boarding maj school in Honduras. It was small and didn't have a house system.
  • Point
Class Involvement:
  • Solo is a very diligent student. He's heavy on participation. He's happy to answer questions.
  • Solo isn't a class clown and isn't prone to cracking jokes in class. He's not disruptive at all, usually.
  • If he knows a subject extremely well, he tends to overshare during answering questions. Sometimes he gives the entire history of a famous wizard when the teacher only asked if anybody knew where they were born.
  • Solo never skips class, he never fails to turn in his homework, he's never late. He's overall, a very good student who noticeably tries extremely hard, and in the class subject that he excels at, he noticeably excels at them, such as his music studies.
  • Solo has noticeable friends, but he's also that kid in class that is happy to pair up with literally anybody.
Campus Presence:
  • Solo spends a lot of time in the music room. He's very immersed in music.
  • His freshman year, he spent a lot of time in the library, trying to read every single book. He failed, but he made a valiant effort.
  • He's also tried literally ever club and stayed in more than half of them.
Party Time:
  • Do they regularly attend Grotto parties? Do they drink? Smoke? Provide the contraband, or freeload? Steal the aux and play their weird music?
  • As a freshman, Solo never attended grotto parties. He started attending them his sophomore year in an attempt to fully experience the high school atmosphere.

Best Friends: Solomon feels a lot for everybody. But the anonymous writer stuff has driven a wedge between him and a lot of people that he's not really ready to acknowledge yet. He's close to his roommates and Jeffy, and his quidditch team, and Sam. He feels closer to Issy too.
Cliques: Solomon doesn't believe in cliques.
Out-of-School Social Circles: Honduras as a ton of normal kids on it. Solo grew up in a tight knit kind of town where everybody was familiar. It wasn't a tiny kind of town where everybody knew everybody else's name, but the air to it was familiar for everybody. He always views that as home, and the people there as his people, even though he looks significantly different from most of them. In his area, he's befriend a lot of kids his age, but it's a distant kind of friendship, when he spends nearly the entire year in America.
The Not Friends: Solomon refuses to acknowledge this is even a thing. He's friends with everyone. And until recently, he was incapable of even acknowledging that certain aspects of his classmates annoyed him. He's coming around. Soon, he might be able to make some decisions about it. But even to this day, he considers Casper a friend, so he pretty much considers everybody a friend.
Sexuality: Straight, but this is gaysberry so does anybody here actually consider anybody straight?
Dating History: He's had one whole significant relationship while he's been here, and he's still having it.
Current Relationship Status: He's dating Sam.
The Messy Bits: Nope. I mean yeah, it'd be obvious if Solo had a crush, but he doesn't have any messy crushes.
Common Knowledge:
  • Stuff absolutely anyone on the campus would probably know about your character. (For example, Clem's father is a retired quodpot player and she has a very young baby brother who was born last year.)
  • Solomon's first language is Spanish and sometimes he struggles to fully interpret the meaning of sentences when they're buried super deep in English figurative language.
  • He was accepted to Gooseberry on a music scholarship, not a quidditch scholarship
  • Kid is a weird magnet for weird facts
Personal Stuff:
  • Solomon was born in Vietnam, and is adopted.
  • Solomon's had nightmares ever since the last seance they did in the woods.
The Secrets:
  • Stuff only your character knows about themselves.
  • Solomon has a deathly fear of being abandoned and it legitimately bothers him when people don't like it
  • Because of that, he's terrified of not liking people too. It actually bothers him to not like someone, which is why he's so reluctant to do that.
  • The seniors leaving bothered him more because so many seniors spoke Spanish and he's terrified that fewer people he can talk to will know Spanish, and that makes him feel alone.
  • He feels alone a lot

Rumors:
  • There's probably rumors about the Casper and Solomon fight, but nobody probably knows why it started.

Anything Else?
  • I like that we're afforded the right to copy and paste a code that already has built in bullet points. It's so nice, and lazy, I love it.
