"Amoz"
Amoz is a Hebrew name that means “the bearer of a burden”.
He is going to be a cemetery caretaker, who loves to take long walks, write on sticky notes to remind himself things, watch late night dramas and feed the stray cats on his breaks.
~My idea of his childhood involves the fact that his family has a hertiage of owning cemeterys and caring for them. His parents at a young age brought him to the one he cares for now and had him learn from his great uncle how to do everything from keeping to grennery taken care of to keeping the "resting" happy.~
Both his parents are very superstious and had hobbies in doing fortune telling as side jobs.
As a child, he was almost considered mute for his unwillingness to speak. His parents believed that the "resting" were keeping his words away. This broke when he became 13 years old, again making it seem it was something more.
He is hyper sensitive, meaning his self image and beliefs are often reflected on how people interact with him. If someone dear is mad, he will blame himself and will stop at nothing to fix whatever issue there is. He believes he is the reason when things go astray at the cemertary. Something as simple as weeds in a flower patch will stress him. It's not perfection he cares about, he just wishes he did better. In the end, it isnt him, he just over examines things and pressures himself hard, which causes his headaches and forgetfulness whilst trying to do too much at once
~Ineracting with others
I believe he is a kind soul who believes all deserve to be treated well. If a person came up to him asking for change or a meal, he'd stop instantly to help. Some call this selflessness, but that is not the case. He takes care of himself just as well, as he believes he must be in top form to bring good to others.
In his childhood, he had very few contact with children his age. He grew up an only child and often acted like the adults he saw. His uncle was his inspiration over his parents as they were too loud and dramatic for his taste. His uncle was a quite man with few words, who worked dilegently and held a serious look on his face. This can explain the way you see Amoz now.
If he interacts with those outside this small family and workers he knewas a child, he can seem distant and cold. This is not intentional, he is more or so just concentrating on you and what your saying/doing. He will be a good friend and a good listner at that. He may not have alot to say back but this interaction and attention given gives him more modivation to have friends and learn about others and things.

Hobbies
*Caring for the "resting" spots
(This means burial grounds/tombstones/etc. He makes sure fresh flowers and a decrotative item is placed for everyone once a week or so, as some rarely/never see vistors. Amoz believes "the resting" become restless and unhappy and could harm those if they are not cared for.)
*pottery/sculpting
(This helps him create new items to decorate the resting spots and hold flowers. He learned to do this as a young child and begged for his parents to get him a wheel. It was good they did, because his work is amazing for a self-taught artist. He occasionally sells some of his works to help pay for the cemetray's needs or bills.)
*Interesting facts
His name means "barer of burdens" which goes with his hypersensitivness.
Cinco de mayo is the day of the dead in mexico, and honors those who have passed. It really goes with Amoz as a cultural relation, and the faxt he cares for the dead and was born on such a day is so ironic. >.<
It's funny how he took to becoming so different from his parents, not out of rebelion or hate,but he simply found "no need to be so loud".
