This is mostly for me to store all the info about AJ into one place, bc I know I will forget everything about him. So if you wanna read this go ahead -- some info will change over time as I am just figuring out what I want him to be.
Nickname: AJ, Alex, A-hole (or just straight up Asshole if you want to get to the point), Alex the Lion (he hates this one), Alexa (like the Siri knock-off), Guitar-Fucker,
Name: Alexander Jay Bruno
Age: 19
Birthday: January 17, 1998
Height: 5'8
Sexuality: Bisexual
Ethnicity (Ancestry.com): He's mostly Italian, part of his family was Scottish, but you kno how genetics be
Hobbies/Occupation: Musician, starving artist YEET. no but he travels a lot and hes basically a bum who loves to sing and make music, and sometimes he'll draw some shit.
Background info: He came from a modest yet shady home. He and his mom were poor, but they managed to make enough money to get by -- just above poverty. What was shady about their living was the method they used to make money: they were drug dealers. AJ's mom had a daytime job, but it didn't pay well, so she went out and started her own business if you will. She made the stuff and took the orders; AJ was the transport (at the time he was about 8, but he knew how to defend himself -- or he could just outrun an angry customer). Over time, his mother had gotten addicted and moved onto harder drugs that he still had to transport, but eventually (when he was 16) she had completely dissolved her original state of mind, and she had become a husk of a human. AJ was sickened and in total despair over it, but he too had taken some of the drugs -- however, he wasn't as addicted as his mother, so he is now trying to get "clean" (by going to cigarettes or relying on softer drugs). Because of this, he wanted to pursue a new way to get money to care for himself and his mother, who is completely fucked over in the head -- she's bed-ridden basically (idk the full details I'll look into this).
AJ had always been musically inclined, so he started performing on the streets with an out of tune guitar that he had bought with the last of his share of the drug money. Over time he had gained popularity and he found another teen that wanted to be his friend (Eve/Evelyn; I've yet to make a design for her yeehee), and they started a little duo band thing... and then another kid joined (Aya/Kaya/Ty someone... hmmm) and they began to play sets in public places, and underground things ya feel. That's basically it? I may add more sometime...
Various Likes: The color Light Blue. His friends. His first guitar which he named after his mom Ashley (he shortened it to Ash, Eve sometimes calls it Ass bc shes a silly bitch). Stepping on crunchy leaves. Goodwill (or any thrift shop, he loves saving cash and the 80s aesthetic). Ppl that can sing good. Any legit artist. Fishnets. Boys. Girls as well. Thai food
Various Dislikes: Shoes that cost over $20. When people underestimate music and how it's "not a valid career". Pity sympathy, especially directed towards his mom. When ppl act like drugs are a trendy and cute thing, again bc of his mom. Those quirky white girls that write shitty ass quotes abt how you gotta "express yourself and love yourself for who you are". Cinnamon. Twizzlers.
