Chris' life has been a roller coaster ride. Many people would imagine that being born into a family who is known for their extensive wealth and long history of that wealth would be automatically handed an easy life. He was definitely born into privilege, and he wouldn't even try to deny that, but he made life difficult for himself. That's what his parents tell him, anyway. Being the oldest child, Chris was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, but a mountain of pressure on his back too. His father wanted him to be a mini-me. He was supposedly destined to take over the family company and continue the Rockefeller legacy. It was something that Chris heard nonstop, even as a kid and it didn't take long for him to get sick of it.
He was only fourteen when he started drinking. It started when his family was on a vacation in Europe, and some of his older cousins were doing it. It continued on that summer at home, when he began to steal liquor from his parents to drink with his friends. It got to a point where it was noticeable the next year, when he was attending high school parties, and even some college ones. Despite being a smart kids, his grades plummeted so badly that his parents had to make some extra donations to his private high school to keep him from being kicked out. He was wild, but being a rebel was something that felt right to him. Doing something he knew was wrong was better than doing what his parents felt was right, but what made him feel like he was living in hell. The drugs started when he was fifteen. It began with just marijuana, but led to ecstasy, cocaine, and some prescription pills when he could get his hands on them by the time that he was sixteen. His parents did his best to cover his activities up, but Chris wanted to make a statement. He wanted to distinguish himself from his stuffy, regal, overly-formal family, and he did just that. He still says that it was all worth it, but when he ended up in rehab three times between the ages of eighteen and twenty-two, he was second guessing that worth.
Since leaving rehab the third time, Chris is doing better, but that wild, party guy is who he is. It's something that will always be in him, and at twenty-five-years-old, he doesn't think he's old enough where he even needs to think about abandoning it yet. He tries to keep his partying down to a three day a week thing, but just like he was as a kid, when he starts going, it's hard to stop and running with extremely wealthy people who seem to be exempt from the law means that drugs are always at his fingertips. Sometimes, it's hard to say no. The difference between how he was as a kid and how he is now, is that rehab is no longer a threat to him. His parents used to use it as a weapon, saying that if he didn't go, they would cut him off financially. After his last stint in rehab, though, Chris vowed to never let that happen again. He began to take his modelling career more seriously and has really embraced his musical talents.
Secret(s):
Since the night of her eighteenth birthday party, CJ has had a sex-only relationship with Alexandra Collins. Call it weird, call it him taking advantage of her, call it whatever you want... CJ will call it legal, amazing sex, whenever he wants it. It's screwed up that he uses her as a booty call, especially considering that she is younger and impressionable, but he doesn't care. A few people know about it, but it's not something that he parades around, especially since he's friends with her older brother, Owen. He doesn't want anything more from Alexa than sex and would break it off if he found someone he genuinely wanted to settle down with... but he's happy jumping from girl to girl for now, and he doesn't think he's ready to give up this bachelor lifestyle.

Personable | Lively | Independent
Character Flaws:
Short tempered | Impulsive | Crude
Personality:
The personality that he shows the world involves him being reckless, impulsive, fun, and down for anything. He's a big party guy and for many years of his life, practically lived in the club scene every Thursday, Friday and Saturday night. He'll tell you his only true loves in life are money, liquor, and sex, so it's not hard to tell that he's unfiltered, and practically the opposite of the prim and proper image that his family strives to maintain. Drugs, alcohol and girls are impossible for him to turn down, and he indulges in all three of them to the fullest extent. His parents say that he's selfish for living this life. It's probably the first word that they would use to describe him, right before disappointing and lazy. Sometimes he wonders if he is selfish. If he's really wrong for rebelling and being his own person and putting his family through so much turmoil. Most days, he doesn't care if it does equate to being selfish, because it's not something that he thinks of himself as being.
When mixed, the first two tend to bring out his short-tempered trait, so say something wrong to him when he's in that zone and you're likely to get a fist to the face. He gets bored of things and people easily, and despite constantly socializing and partying with lots of people, he doesn't have many close friends. He likes this young and wild Chris persona that he has, and he doesn't like letting many people past it. The Chris that is behind it is much softer though. He's goofy, kind, and surprisingly down to earth. He's the kind of guy who could be a good boyfriend if he didn't have commitment issues. Even the girls he sleeps with in just-sex relationships will sometimes wake up to find him making waffles (that will definitely end up burned to a crisp) for the two of them, or find that he had tossed their clothes into the laundry with his before they went to bed that night. He's not overtly romantic, but he does have that good nature in him, where he's at least courteous and a good friend to those people he cares about.

Dislikes:
Motels | Rodents | Veal | Confined spaces | Christmas shopping | Rumors | Paparazzi | Riddles | Jigsaw puzzles | Horror movies | Sleeping past noon
Fears:
He doesn't have any exceptionally unusual fears. They're really just the expected ones: becoming friendless, growing old, becoming sick to a point where he can't care for himself, overdosing, Michael Meyers and all of those other classic, horror movie themes.
Aspirations:
Career wise, he wants to become a solo artist, and is a pretty decent singer and guitar player. His upbringing has given him a lot of connections, and he's attempted to use them to further his career, but before he can even get his foot in the door, his parents shut the opportunity down with their own, much stronger connections.

Chris is visibly very fit and muscular. He does a lot of weight lifting and exercises regularly, and he's definitely proud of the shape he's in. It's the reason why he likes to go without a shirt more than he likes to wear one.

Brown
Eye color:
Green
Other:
He's been getting tattoos since he was eighteen, much to his parents' dismay. Both of his arms are covered in them, and he has a few scattered throughout the rest of his body as well.
