"Hey, my name's Johnny, and I'm sixteen years old and a Junior over at Hayes High School. I haven't lived in Virginia Beach for long at all, and my Dad made me move here once he went into prison a few months ago. He was a thief and burglar, who was finally caught after years of doing the job, and I didn't expect it. To me, his job just seemed normal. Before he went into prison, he made me promise, that he'd do something that he'd be proud of. That was the last thing he said, and I didn't understand what he meant. He gave me some money that he'd managed to keep away from the police, so that I could start a new life somewhere else, and I did so, considering what he meant. But eventually, I figured he wanted me to take up his job. Sure, it wasn't the most honest, but I knew I'd get an adrenaline rush out of it and I just...wanted to live on the edge. It's crazy, but now I'm a thief, not anything proper, just a few houses and stuff. It means my whole life at the moment, is two separate things. School, with all the work there, and my thief stuff. That's my secret.

As a person, I consider myself always to be friendly and charming on the outside. I like to get to know people, and try to make friends and help them out. But, I don't let them get to know me, and I'm always slightly...darker I suppose when somebody brings up my past, and my personal life. I don't want to bring it up. My Mom ran out on me and my Dad when I was one, so he was the one guy I trusted growing up, and that's why I consider his job to be normal. I always have an eye on the ladies, it's a habit I got off my Dad, but it occasionally gets me into trouble. Not good. It takes a lot to get me angry, but when I do, I'm hard to control and can make some rash and regrettable decisions. If I could stop that, I would, but I can't control it. I do kind of get caught up in the stealing stuff, so that it's hard to get me focus on anything else, and so I'm not interested in much. So, that's pretty much me in a nutshell... "

YO, MY NAME IS JAKE AND I'VE BEEN DOING THIS SHIZZ FOR 3/4 YEARS. I PLAY NO OTHER CHARACTERS. HERE'S SOME OF MY WORK:
[QUOTE*]Johnny ran into the backdoor of his house quickly, panting, and locked the door behind him. He pulled off the balaclava that was on his face and threw it aside, as he carried the bag into the main room. He opened it up, and looked through the collection of things he'd stolen from the small shop a few streets away. There wasn't much, just a few cheap looking watches, jewellery, all the sort you'd expect. But the rush he got out of it, his heart was still pounding heavier than it ever had before. He closed up the bag again and went over to a small cupboard in the corner, and opened it up. There the arrangement of things he'd stolen sat, and he threw the items in their, closing up the cupboard and adding a padlock to it. Another successful night. He didn't know why he did this, but he couldn't deny it tohimself that it was a lot of fun for him.

He went over to the sofa and slumped down on it, rubbing his face as he slowly calmed down. He could hardly breathe properly. The house was completely quiet, and for some reason he half expected to hear his Dad shouting down from upstairs. He knew, deep down, that that wasn't going to happen, and he just had to admit that. His Dad was going to be gone for a very long time, and he had to adjust to a life without him. But he was going to do his Dad proud, and make himself a good fortune out of this new... "business". It's what he would have wanted. He looked down at the coffee table, and saw the Math homework he'd half done, and sank his heads into his hands. He really should have finished that. But, it wasn't as fun, was it? Still, juggling the two was becoming more and more difficult for Johnny. Maybe he ought to just drop out of school? It'd definitely be easier for him, and he'd be able to enjoy himself more. He sighed, the same thoughts that always ran through his head going around and around. He stood up and headed towards the stairs to go to bed. He just needed a good night's sleep, that was all.[/QUOTE*]
