Name: Setherin James Monroe
Age: 17 years old

Reason for enrolling: To better his music in hopes to achieve one of his lifelong dreams, photography for improvement, designing for his other lifelong dream (designing clothes and rooms)
Appearance:
Although quite short (5’5) and light weighted (114 lbs), it’s best that one doesn’t underestimate Seth. His clothing style is fairly casual, always consisting of a black hoodie, black cargo pants, and black fingerless gloves. His ears are pierced 4x-Each for a dead relative, always Amethyst, Sapphire, Emerald and Diamond studs. He tends to wear thick black eyeliner, and his nails are coated in black. Often times, ‘Lives’ is lettered on the left hand, ‘Death’ on the right hand. Usually ‘Lives’ is a dark green, ‘Death’ a bright silver, lettered over the black coat. His bottom lip is pierced with small silver lip rings, his tongue is pierced with a silver bar with black rounded ends that can be screwed off to clean or switching out.
Personality:
As mentioned before, Seth isn’t one to be underestimated due to his conflicted, somewhat extreme personality.
-Impatience: The virtue of patience is not within his being, he usually waits maybe five minutes for someone before moving on, unless he’s truly attached or truly cares about someone...but even then, he’s usually pacing and growing irritated by the minute. He’s been famous for simply leaving a line if he’s too behind, and pretty much rarely comes back after that.
-Judgemental: Everyone has their first impressions of a person, and he tends to act out on his, such as clearly avoiding someone, or remarking about them, even if it’s under his breath. He lives off of first impressions- The negative first impressions, to him, means that person is negative and should be avoided, and he rarely gives them a chance to prove otherwise. Positive impressions, however, tends to blind him from abuse that he has been dealt with. The one person he’s semi-calm with waiting for his is lover, James “Jamie” Lee Bryant.
-Conflicted: A lot of times, he can appear indecisive or maybe even lost, because he’s unsure what path to go down, the thoughts separating the ideas greatly being the opposite of each other. This is proven in other areas in his life, such as being stuck with a “negative” person, and then learning their true colors that are blatantly obviously positive. The amount of confliction could amount up to him having an emotional meltdown, due to being under pressure (by himself) and overwhelmed (caused by himself).
-Short tempered: In general, Seth is very short tempered, perhaps among the worst of the entire school. His tolerance levels, as one can assume from his conflicted personality trait, vary greatly from one end to the other in mere seconds. He’s been known for acting out on these moments, such as telling someone to shut up, to fuck off, and any other little thought that comes to his head. It’s best to keep little children away from him, including his two six year old cousins, and five year old sister. Anything, or so it seems, can be the final push to the dynamite explosion.
-Honest: If you aren’t prepared for an answer, it’s best to skip over him. He will tell it like it is, cut, sliced and cleaned. He seems to have no pause or second to think over the things he says, as he’s very impulsive as well. If you think you’re ready for an answer, best prepare for the worst and the best… more so the worst. He will often never censor what he says to anyone, not even if they’re younger. If one wants a loaded answer, or just plain out simply want a true answer, ask away… just be prepared to hear every ounce of it ripped apart, because he might just do that on his own, unintentionally.
-Loyal: Once one gains his trust, it’s actually very hard to shake off. Most of the time, he’s blind to abuse until Jamie points it out. He’ll defend his friends with a passionate fire, and will often stand up for them, or simply just be there when called upon. If anything, his friends leave him in the dust before he does them. About the only time he leaves someone is when they’re too far down the path of destruction to save them; He leaves before seeing them completely self destruct. Usually this is more towards the people he befriended, who got into heavy drugs like meth and cocaine, and refused to turn away from it or get help. So far, only five people have been left behind, each because of drug and alcohol addiction. He’s also more loyal to his friends than his family, often ranking them above others, even above himself. Jamie’s the only one to stay the most important.
-Impulsive: He doesn’t have that chemical that makes a person stop and think things through- he jumps right to doing the things that his mind should be thinking through. It can be as mild as mouthing off to authority, to extremes such as running into a fire to save someone (true story, he saved someone at the age of ten by running into the fire with a damp towel, and bringing the old woman through her front door before the whole building caught on fire.)

History:
His parents were young when he came into the world, but things seemed just fine, and his parents were thrilled. February 15, 1998 was a magical day for them, although they could have never prepared for the years to come. It was peaceful, at least up until he was 14. His mother caught his father cheating, and it turned into a hellzone for the poor kid. His mother moved out, leaving him behind with his father, and she told him ‘you look just like your father, get the fuck away from me’. His father delved into alcohol, soon becoming very abusive. His mother came back into his life in the middle of his 15th year, and things were settled down some, he found out he had two little siblings, and he grew rather jealous. He distanced from his whole family once he met Jamie and “the gang”, staying out with them at all hours, which is where he developed a passion for music, as well as designing. Jamie is a designer himself, and was the one to get Seth enrolled into school, whereas Misty showed him how to play guitar and had music grow on him. Misty is a worker at the cafe, often preparing drinks as soon as Seth and Jamie walk right into the door. He has now considered his parents, and even his siblings, dead. He wants absolutely nothing more to do with them, and it seems to be mutual (at least with his parents).

Friends:
-Misty Jade Ryota, 24, he’s known her since he was 15ish. They’re close, like a brother and sister, and he often stops by the cafe just to see how she’s doing with her new job. He tends to hang around for a while, even giving her a ‘hard time’ when a guy looks at her, considering she’s lesbian.

Enemies:
Lover:

James “Jamie” Lee Bryant, 18 years old. The two are closer than most can imagine, even to the point of Seth getting separation anxiety if he’s separated from Jamie too long. Jamie is the opposite of Seth, real calm tempered, patient, and far less judgemental. Apparently, opposites attracted when it comes to these two.

Other: He has a practical cousin, as her dad married his aunt. They've been calling each other cousin since age 13ish. Leta Mariangela Yiska
