| Appearance |
As soon as his growth spurt hit at twelve, Emmett began to grow into what is now a very fit swimmer's body. He doesn't have bulging, bulky muscles, but he does have broad shoulders and is built very firmly with his long, toned limbs and flat, light sculpted abdominal muscles. At six feet and two inches and one-hundred eighty five pounds, Emmett is quite healthy and likes to stay that, particularly if he wants to continue winning swim meets. His relative, and definitely not excessive, strength comes from an abundance of lifting machinery with his Dad in the auto repair shop he opened with an old friend, and Emmett also makes a habit of sprinting in the morning to get his body to wake up. While he had grown up under the oppressive heat of the Deep South and then came over to the California sun's rays, his skin is not perpetually tanned. Rather, it holds a rather light tinting from his exposure to the sun and does not seem to get any darker for Emmett is still able to acquire a sunburn if he doesn't protect himself. Besides, he doesn't think it's relatively necessary to get any more of a tan than he already has.
Upon his inverted triangle shaped face are sea-green eyes set beneath almost straight eyebrows, a clear, luminous blue-green shade with a darker blue color rimming the irises that he has been told before are quite beautiful. His jawline isn't particularly sculpted by the Gods, but it is firm enough and can be dusted with the lightest of stubble if he doesn't tend to it. Which he usually does. He has high cheekbones and a straight nose, and his lips have just the slightest pout in them, particularly the lower one and reveal straight white teeth when he smiles. While Emmett himself wouldn't say that he was that much of a looker, he does know he's decent and with the way his dirty blonde hair can be messily or neatly styled - depending on his mood that morning - he does know that he can make himself look the part of any A-Lister.

| Personality |
To be completely honest, Emmett has always wanted popularity something fierce. As much as he is still the Southern gentleman his parents and grandparents raised him to be, and as much as he prefers the simpler things in life, there is something tantalizing about the idea of grasping onto the privilege and downright seductive life of the richer classmates in his life. Needless to say, that means that Emmett has always been a bit of an envious sort. As much as he would like to say he appreciates all that he has because his father's military affiliation does not come without benefits, he is always wanting more. Perhaps that it is why a lot of his childhood relationships have somehow managed to become firmly acquainted with the dirt on the ground for Emmett has made it his mission to stomp each and every contact out, every point of interest in his past so that no one can say that he was connected to a time when he wasn't considered an A-Lister. One of the very people he knows that he never really has been able to fit in to. He's just been really good at pretending. Call it his charismatic mannerisms or simply that Emmett can be quite deceitful, but to an extent, he's got a few of the A-Listers he can be frequently spotted with fooled. It helps that he already, despite his naturally humble side showing, has a rather attractive disposition. That combined with the fact that Emmett seems to always be sporting an easy smile and a welcoming aura, and it's very easy for him to have made friends in general.
Regardless of his aspirations, which shows that he's just a tad bit ambitious if he's really going to devote his time in to fitting in with his upper crest classmates, Emmett can never get rid of the kind person he was raised to be. While the jocks are primarily known for being both astute athletes and bullies, he couldn't find it in him to be the latter. Though, that doesn't exactly beguile him enough to stick up for lesser student if they were the unfortunate victim of the other A-Listers' cruelty. The guilt is there - after all, Emmett is in no way remorseless - but he is always helpless to the doings of the classmates he wants to so firmly integrate himself with, weak to simply witnessing a Nerd being shoved into a locker despite the desire to stop them. Which, depending on the person doing the bullying, Emmett is more than capable of stopping. After all, he is quick to stand up for a female, regardless of their clique, if they are being antagonized by a male or even something as simple as giving someone a ride simply because he can tell they needed. He isn't cold-hearted, that much is true. But there is no denying the right to feel just a bit of resentfulness towards Emmett, after his displays of compassion, for his inaction from earlier. So indisposed by his own desire to be a bit of someone he is not that Emmett is slowly losing himself to his own insecurities and greed.
And that is where the problem lies - the fact that Emmett is a lot more insecure. While he can be easy-going and amicable, surely someone anyone would think would be at least semi-satisfied with their life considering he's never struggled a day in his life, Emmett's desire for more stems from a dissatisfaction from himself. He wouldn't necessarily admit to being ashamed of his parents' home or even where he comes from, but the dichotomy between his home life and others is blinding and slightly insulting. More than that, it's the air about these richer classmates and the debonair charm that they possess that makes him minutely resentful of what they posses. While Emmett could say that he is pleased by being at least acknowledged as a decent athlete, that was all he was at home. That and a friend of a wild child. Despite all his goodness and the fun person he could be around friends, he hated being in someone else's shadows, even if Michaela had been one of his best friends. Perhaps it has something to do with the fact that Emmett has always been competitive. but he had grown too used to the stale existence of always just being the nice guy. The one that reined Michaela in or was privy to following in her shenanigans. He hated it. He hated not being able to walk the same line as classmates who might have been more popular or richer, hated being the one everyone turned to just to be the simple nice guy, but never the one they invited out. So, when he had the chance, he reinvented his person - made himself into someone people admired and wanted to be around. Even if this lifestyle - this temporary clique - isn't truly where he belongs.

| History |
Before Emmett ever became one of the few popular kids as compared to the many unpopular at Crossroads Academy, he was simply a Southern boy trying to make it in his colorful city. The Deep South for Emmett was and will always be home, and back in the day, he was just watching his Dad - when the man wasn't stationed with the army elsewhere - and uncles work on cars while sipping on sweet tea, skipping off to the docks to get a taste of the seafood the fishermen would bring in and cook for themselves, and then visiting the bakeries his family always got bread from just for the sake of getting a taste of sweets he had no business getting before dinner. Emmett didn't have some longstanding affair with designer brands or being cool like a lot of his fellow popular kids; he honestly would never have known that there were other expensive brands out there if he didn't have some of his childhood friends. He honestly wasn't even that popular down in the South, but at the time, it hadn't been a big deal. While other kids worried about whether or not this or that was going to impress the other richer kids - as if their wealth was even that pronounced, even honesty was a thing - Emmett had his uncle's auto shop to get busy in, his grandparents' house, and his mother's childhood friend's kid, Michaela Vaughn.
However, it was never that Emmett didn't want to be more popular, to understand that lifestyle. And in a way, as the years went by, he did. He stopped getting into trouble that Michaela typically dragged him into and then soon enough, she was simply gone. And while Emmett will never say that he regrets becoming renowned in their community for being a pretty damn good singer, not fully investing in his friendship with Michaela before she left for California was something he had no choice but to regret. Before there were late parties and girls being ready to perch their cute selves on his lap, there was Kayla and baking their mothers' recipes and him not having to perform. At the same time, he had all of the other things and it wasn't like communication didn't go both ways. However, his time in New Orleans was cut short as his grandparents had both retired and wanted a change of scenery. His parents, Phil and Samantha, could have stayed in New Orleans, but when Samantha's parents decided that the City of Angels were where they wanted to spend their golden years, Emmett found his entire life being uprooted to California. They found a nice house in a decent neighborhood. It turned out to be probably the size of another small house on a bigger property of one of his classmates, but it was a home. It didn't stop Emmett from feeling slightly ashamed enough to not want any of his newfound friends visiting his home if he could help it. As far as he was concerned, the moment that Emmett was accepted into a higher bracket of students at Crossroads Academy, he couldn't deal with them finding out that he could only get in because he was a scholarship student. He learned to manage with not having designer brands and such, as there were a few classmates who had all the money in the world but opted for less expensive brands. But anything more felt like he could be dropped in a heartbeat and Emmett has worked his ass off to not deal with that.
He remembers a time when he wasn't popular and didn't have the invites to events and parties that he does now. And while swimming definitely helped establish him as a jock, he'd rather stay well-liked even if he decided to not swim. And if Michaela looks at him all knowingly because she knows him for the sweetheart who once didn't care about all that other superficial nonsense, then Emmett just goes on about his life only interacting with her when their parents make him or if they actually find time to be alone. Which is a rarity he has no one but God to thank for.
