          With a round face and wide eyes, Theo looks more or less like a middle schooler. And of course, having an under-average height doesn't help. In terms of clothes, he also wears pretty much what a normal teenage boy would wear (which, of course, also doesn't help)-- hoodies or graphic t-shirts, jeans, and sneakers. As you can see, there's really nothing necessarily special about his appearance. Perhaps his messy hair that he never combs might spark attention, or the stud on his left ear that he got when he was eighteen; but other than that, his appearance is completely average.


      xx ◞♡⇣ :: PERSONALITY xx

          Theo is very nice, though also very childish. He hasn’t exactly realized that he’s an adult now—or rather, he’s realized but tries to pretend that he’s still a kid. Because of this, Theo can act very melodramatic and tends to overreact quite a lot. He also has a somewhat short temper, especially when someone criticizes his life choices or his height.
          He greatly enjoys acting, but never wants to put himself out there and audition, due to his low confidence and his laziness. Theo is also very creative and inventive, but refuses to use these talents, for the exact same reasons.
          The thing is, though, Theo still pretends like he has confidence. He doesn’t like anyone pitying him (nor does he want anyone to laugh at him), so he often tries to act tougher and cooler than he actually is. Also, given Theo’s circumstances, he’s become rather frugal and will practically do anything for money (other than… y’know… getting an actual job…).

      xx ◞♡⇣ :: HISTORY xx

          As a child, Theo was in all sorts of musicals and plays. He loved the spotlight, and of course, the spotlight loved him. In fact- everyone loved him. As a smart and talented kid, life was very easy. And though his classes got harder as he entered middle school, it was still a breeze for him.
          However, that all changed in high school. Suddenly, Theo found himself actually having to try. He absolutely hated it. He hardly understood anything—and with each semester, he became less and less confident in himself (of course, I’m sure this could have all been avoided if he actually learned how to study, but Theo lacks common sense). After two years of “failing” grades (B’s and C’s, mostly), he came to the conclusion that he was not good enough and decided to give up entirely. After all, why should you even bother to try when you know you’ll fail?
          As a talented actor, Theo could easily lie to his parents. He weaved lies, telling them how well he was doing, coming home from school at times with a wide smile, enthusiastically telling them how “easy that test was”. He continued these lies throughout high school.
          Once he graduated (with barely-passing grades), Theo decided to go to the local community college. It seemed easy, and had a great performing arts program. He thought it would be wonderful… But of course, seeing all of those talented actors around him made Theo’s confidence lessen even more. Before entering the program, he never had to compete for a role before. The leading roles were almost always guaranteed to him as a kid. Just like before, Theo suddenly didn’t want to even try auditioning. He assumed the other actors were better far than him.
          Theo tried to stay in the program, loathing the competition and the people around him, but eventually could not take it anymore. He quit at the end of his second year and fled to a small, run-down apartment in the city. He lied to his parents, saying that he had been accepted into a fancy performing-arts college so they wouldn't be ashamed.
          Nowadays, Theo spends his time watching movies, occasionally filming his own, and cooking the usual college-staple meals (ramen, microwave dinners, etc). He lives off of the measly check that his parents send him every month. Theo’s parents also pay for his cell phone bill (his phone is a very old flip-phone, by the way). He has no friends and no more goals in life, though guilt is starting to stir inside him.
          Perhaps this guilt will spark a change soon?

So begins...

Ah, Saturday. Freedom at last for many individuals, yet another work day for others. At the very least, most students can look forward to the winter break coming up soon. The snow's coming down steadily, although it's not quite ready to stick just yet. Maybe a day or two more? Bursts of sunshine throughout the day, but mostly cloudy skies overlook Marrow City. The main roads are decorated with Christmas decor, and most stores have signs with the word "SALE" written clearly on them. The holidays currently have the city's denizens in a frenzy to do last minute shopping, with malls sporting crowds that can make the feint of heart queasy. Just another day, to be honest.

Although for four individuals, the day quickly takes a turn for the interesting when their phone rings.

"No! Nonononono!"
Theo's cries echoed through the empty apartment as he awoke in a shivering panic. Why…. Why was the room so cold? Sitting up with widened and alert eyes, he glanced outside to see snow faintly falling to the ground. Sure, the snow was nice and all, but not when it made your house below freezing!
It took him a moment, but Theo soon realized that the cold temperature outside could hardly be the problem of the frostbitten air… After all, wasn’t there a heat pump to keep the apartment building warm…?
Oh.
Not even a second later, Theo cracked the code.
“The heat pump must be broken… That’s why it’s so cold… Jeez…” he murmured to himself, ruffling his tangled hair and letting out a few laughs at his overreaction. “Living in a crappy apartment does have its disadvantages, huh… Oh well, there’s nothing to do about it!”
Perhaps the following spurt of laughter hid it, but as he spoke the last statement, Theo felt his heart fill to the brim with unbearable regret. “Yes, yes, there’s nothing to do now…” he repeated in a nervously singsong voice, laughing it off and jumping out of bed. He threw on a few coats to ease his violent shivering (correction— he threw on four coats, every coat that he owned), and headed out of his bedroom.
Upon entering the kitchen, another misfortune struck Theo.
"What a coincidence..." he murmured to himself with another small sigh, distastefully examining the empty fridge and hearing his stomach grumble. “First the heat pump, and now I don't have any food..."
It was odd, though, for Theo had sworn there was plenty of food only days before... Sure, he had eaten quite a bit last night while marathoning that severely epic movie trilogy, but he didn't remember eating that much...
With another sigh and a ruffle of his messy hair, he grabbed his wallet and decided to go out to get some groceries. After all, food wasn’t just going to appear out of thin air… “That would be so cool, though… Jeez, food, why can’t you do that?” he giggled at his own stupid statement with a wide and severely idiotic grin.

The boy wandered through the town, humming a song to himself, one whose lyrics had slipped his mind. It was the kind of song that would stick in one’s head after only one play, the kind with a catchy tune so familiar yet so unknown. And though Theo had planned to make a beeline to the nearest supermarket, he found himself taking a detour, wandering through the main street. Perhaps the upcoming holiday season had gotten him in a good mood, for moments later, Theo found his brisk walk turning into a slight skip. After all, who wouldn’t be excited when there were so many sales?
Oh, yes, how he loved sales!
“Oooh,” Theo mused, stopping dead in his tracks when the front window of the electronics store caught his eye. On the large, widescreen tv was an ad for some new superhero show, one that Theo was absolutely dying to watch. He pressed his face against the glass for a few minutes, watching with as much excitement as a child would have. Though after those few minutes, he felt his stomach rumble and remembered his main mission.
“Right… right… food…” he said with a wide grin and a fist pump. “I’ll come back and watch it again after!” Of course, the realization that he wouldn’t be able to watch the actual show soon struck him, and his posture slouched a little more. “It must be nice to have cable…” he whimpered with a sudden lack of energy (though that energy was quickly regained). “Maybe I’ll get enough money to buy it for Christmas!”
Once again, that childish grin returned to his face and he quickened his skip-steps. “Oh yeah… Christmas is coming soon!!"

A few minutes later, Theo stopped in his tracks upon hearing his annoyingly-repetitive ringtone. He took a deep breath and picked up the call immediately, assuming it was his mom. After all, who else would call him?
“Oh, hey, mom! Don’t worry, don’t worry, I’m doing fine—” Theo cut himself short after he noticed the absence of his mother’s singsong voice. “W-wait… Who… Who… Who is this?!”

(Sorry if this isn't that great... I haven't written in a while)
