Kaamii

Kaamii smiled at her shyness. It was adorable. "yeah sure." she replied curious to what a bird chime was. But as she was asking she tripped and fell but luckily Coryy was their and she fell half on top of him. He picked her up and said nothing just stared at her. "uh- yeah- I'm- thanks". He nodded and walked off. 'well that was weird' Kaamii thought to herself. Kaamii and Coryy were like brother and sister they were neighbors and had known each other for years, they kinda drifted a apart a bit but still talked quit frequently. "anyway let me see that bird chime!" Kaamii said facing Jasmine again.

Coryy
Coryy walked as fast as he could to class, he had got sent to the office and had been told if he skipped one more time he would be suspended. He couldn't get suspended. No he could not get suspended. His mother would kick him out again and send him back to live with his uncle again in Wisconsin. As he was walking to class Kaamii fell on him he didn't really mind he was determined to get to class on time he picked her up and walked on she said thanks he nodded and walked on. He knew she was confused he wasn't usually like that with her usually he would stop to talk to her but not today. 'I'll call her later' he thought. and he walked on to class and actually made it on time... for once

@dead bachelor messed up haha, we're laughing about this. please post rps in this thread.

[Metronome]

Age: 17
Gender: Male
Clique: Out cast
Nationality: Romani / German
Sexuality: Asexual

Personality:
Luca is a sweet kid, but he's very timid and shy. His meek demeanor makes it difficult for him to stand out in any kind of crowd, or to be heard in a sea of loud, teenage voices. Luca's tone of voice is almost always just barely above a whisper; below the normal volume but loud enough to be heard in a quiet room. That, mixed with his German accent, make him difficult to understand.

Luca is very easily intimidated, particularly by men, and even more particularly by men bigger than him. Being that he's not very big himself, this means almost half of his peers. Part of the reason he's being enrolled in public school is to help him overcome such social anxieties. Having never had the chance to truly be socialized in his short life, Luca majorly lacks the ability to cope with his people-induced fears. He is also somewhat emotionally stunted from the years of abuse and lack of socialization. There may be some instances where he seems almost childlike; typically when he's afraid. Which is always. Luca has all the bravado of a trembling chihuahua.

Another one of his glaring personality issues is his lack of self esteem and sense of worth. While this is something his adoptive parents have been working on with him, it's still easy to see in his day to day interactions. It's not something he's bound to get over quickly.

Appearance:
Luca is 5"6' with a lean, muscular build. Having spent the past several years of his life doing hard manual labor on a farm, he's in pretty good shape. He has short, dark brown hair, brown eyes, and copper tone skin. He has a little facial hair, which is usually kept neatly trimmed. Luca doesn't have any piercings or tattoos, but his back and arms are marred with scars given to him by the vicious farmhands he was made to work with. Because of this, he often wears long sleeves. If it didn't get too warm in the summer, he would probably wear sweaters all year round. As it is, he can almost always be found sporting multiple layers of clothes.

Other:
Luca doesn't like being touched as a result of events in his past. The only people he's comfortable coming in contact with are his adopted parents, and that took several months to achieve. If someone puts a hand on his shoulder or hugs him, he'll freeze up like a statue. It's something he's working on, along with many other things.

Luca is bilingual. He speaks German and English fluently. He can also kind of muddle through a few other European languages, having traveled around in his youth.

Luca's adoptive parents are very active in the local church. So, naturally, Luca is as well. He was a bit of a celebrity among the congress for a while, as the church had been donating hundreds of dollars a month to get him into the states. His story was blasted all over pamphlets, handouts, and posters asking for help. The attention was pretty jarring at first. But, luckily, it died down.

History:
Luca was a happy, energetic child that lived among a large family of oldschool traditional, traveling Romani. They made a living by selling wood workings, crafts, hand made pottery, and other novelties. His family could get a bit rowdy with a few drinks, but they were good people.

Unfortunately, not everyone saw it that way. Luca learned from a young age not to stray from his family's campground. The locals of the towns they visited, which were typically small and rural, didn't always appreciate their presence. Most places put up with them until they left, but it was when they reached a small town in Germany that their band was met with retaliation. The mayor of the town called immigrant authorities on them, having them rounded up, arrested, and deported.

Some of Luca's family fled, and some were captured and removed. But in the chaos, Luca was separated from them. At the tender age of 9, the boy was left to fend for himself. He was fortunate to have the basic survival skills needed to travel alone to the nearest significant city. There, he lived on the streets until he was 11. The two winters he suffered were long and hard. Then, one spring, a farmer approached him. He offered him work in return for food and shelter. He had no intent of paying Luca, making the transaction completely illegal and slavery by definition. But Luca was a desperate, naive child, so he agreed.

Luca worked long, grueling hours on the farm. He did anything asked of him, from herding livestock to picking crops, to clearing the crawlspace under the barn. He was never allowed to come into the house, and was made to sleep in the barn, with one of the supply rooms serving as his quarters. Although he was no longer freezing to death or starving, he was still miserable. The farmhands took to tormenting him, calling him a dirty gypsy boy while he did the work they refused to. If Luca ever tried to defend himself, he was severely punished until he learned to keep his mouth shut.

It was during these hard years of his life that Luca reflected on his mother's teachings of God. Before, he had never given it much thought. But laying in the straw that was his bed, aching from the day's work, faith made it possible to pull through. He snuck off of the farm one day to visit a bookstore in town. He had scraped together just enough money laying around to buy a Bible. He would hide it under the hay in the barn loft, because he knew if the farmhands found it, they would take it from him. He would only read it by moonlight. It was difficult, as he was practically illiterate, but over the years, it got easier.

Reading the Bible helped him endure years of mistreatment at the hands of his 'employers'. He was 15 when a couple of Christian missionaries happened to come to the farm to buy fresh produce. They saw the boy in such poor, filthy living conditions. After pulling him aside to speak with him, hearing his story, they couldn't leave him there. By this point, Luca had become so accustom to his loss of freedom that when the farmer refused to relinquish him to the missionaries, he didn't even fight it. It didn't occur to him that he didn't actually belong to the man and his awful farmhands.

The missionaries went to the law. Police came to the farm and demanded that Luca be set free, eventually arresting the farmer for unlawful imprisonment and several workers for their treatment of the boy. Knowing that Luca was destined to wind up in an already overloaded foster system, the missionaries decided that they would, somehow, take the boy home with them.

It wasn't easy. Getting the papers together to migrate an undocumented minor across the ocean took months. Luckily, the Pearsons didn't give up. Mr. Pearson, an engineer, went back to the US to work up enough funds to, aided with donations from the church, make it possible. His wife, meanwhile, lived in Germany with the boy until they would finally make the adoption official and bring him to his new home.

The Pearsons had never been able to have children of their own, so when Luca fell into their laps, they felt as though it was destiny. Getting the boy accustomed to a normal life had it's bumps in the road. He was desperately behind on his education, and had to take long classes with a private tutor to get mostly caught up. This was accompanied by staggering medical and therapy bills. The Pearsons knew they wanted him to be able to live as normally as possible, and that meant getting him to interact with people his own age; his peers. They decided to try sending him to a public school once they felt he was ready.

As it is, almost all of the classes he's taking are remedial. But, he's anxiously looking forward to the first day of Big Boy school.
