Name: Christopher Aleksander Bauer (Christos, Chris)

Age: 18

Gender: Male

Personality: Despite what his appearance may lead people to believe, Chris is an incredibly friendly, cheerful guy. He adores being around people, perhaps a bit too much, and is rarely seen without at least two people hanging around him. Christos is 'clingy', for lack of a better word to describe him. In other words, it basically means he has absolutely no sense of personal space. He can cause his friends, especially his male ones, to feel very awkward at times, considering Christopher is generally rarely further than a foot away from someone at any given time. 

Many people have asked Christopher why he dresses so strangely if he loves people so much. He'll generally ask in reply why they dress so normally if they want people to notice them. This response usually only works on people who want to be noticed, though. The ones who don't want to be noticed are generally staring at Chris like he has three heads. At this point, he'll usually quickly change the topic to something completely unrelated, or he'll make some sort of excuse to get away. Christopher hates situations where he has nothing to say, so he tries his best to avoid those.

While he doesn't trust many people, Christos knows that he can rely on his friends. He would trust his three best friends with his life. Christopher is incredibly loyal to all of them, and will do whatever it takes to protect them, no matter how illegal, dangerous, or humiliating. Of course, considering Christopher's sense of modesty is non-existant, how humiliating a task is really doesn't effect how well he'll complete it. He refuses to give his life for his friends, though. In any life or death situation, Chris will certainly save his own life before thinking about rescuing his friends. He doesn't consider it selfish or cowardly, he considers it smart.

Christopher is obsessed with Cradle of Filth. Completely obsessed. It is impossible to stay in a conversation with him for more than ten minutes without the topic changing to Cradle if Filth. He absolutely adores their music, and always gets annoyed if someone insults their music or says they don't like them. Christos still hasn't quite grasped the concept that some people might not find music that sounds to most people like a spoon being shoved in a food processor very attractive. He takes most of his style from Cradle of Filth and similar bands. In the past, Christopher was often teased for his style, the most common insult being people calling him 'gay' - which Chris tends to find absolutely hilarious, considering all they're doing is throwing the truth at him in a rude manner. Over the years, most people have come to accept Christos' style, even if there is still the occasional bully being mean, as most bullies are. And, people still find his constant Cradle of Filth ranting incredibly annoying.

Talents/Skills: He can death growl very well and is excellent at writing poetry. However, since those aren't particularly useful skills, Christopher has taught himself some more skills. He has been taking karate for about four years, and is a green belt - four belts below black belt, the fourth highest belt from the bottom. He can manage to defend himself, but still lacks the technique and strength of a black belt. Christos can also fight with a bō - a six foot long wooden staff with a lead core - however, he isn't very good at it and ends up whacking himself in the face more often than not. Chris has an excellent eye for make-up and clothes; a seemingly useless skill until you need a disguise and have nobody to create one.

History: Christopher lived the life of a normal teenage guy, for the most part. His parents are both of German origin, and therefore, Chris was raised speaking German, so he now has a fairly thick accent. His mother worked as a greengrocer, and his father as a nurse. While their jobs didn't make them rich, they certainly paid enough for them to be able to live in a medium sized house with a sprawling front and back lawn, and they were able to live a relatively comfortable life.

When Christos was fifteen, he discovered Cradle of Filth. At first, he didn't really like them, but, after discovering their song 'Bathory Aria', he immediately became obsessed. By the time he was sixteen, he was dressing in a completely Gothic style. At first, Christopher basically just copied Dani Filth's (The lead singer) style, but soon, he began to add his own touches to it. His parents, hoping Chris was just going through a face, accepted his choice of style and allowed him to dress as he wanted. They're beginning to lose some hope that his style will change, now, seeing how he's been dressing as a Goth for almost three years now.
