Description

Image
Name: Johannes Bauer
Age: Seventeen
Gender: Male
Role: Boy Six
Personality Johannes is a very kind guy, and he is very caring. Whenever someone is in trouble, he is almost always the first one there. Most of his friends find that Johannes is an excellent shoulder to cry on, and he seems to always know exactly what to say if someone needs cheering up. Despite his amazing ability at cheering people up, Johannes refuses to actually show any of his emotions. It is nearly impossible to tell whether Johannes is on the verge of laughter or tears, and he likes to keep it that way. Many people have tried to get Johannes to open up, but he always stays as stoic and emotionless as ever.

He is a very serious person, and cares a lot about his grades. Too scrawny to actually be any good at sports, Johannes focuses his attention on school work instead. He is a straight-A student, and maintains a high quality of work. A major perfectionist, Johannes has annoyed more than a few project partners with his obsession with perfection. He refuses to hand in a project if there is the smallest flaw in it, and most of the time, any of his project partners have to hand in the project behind his back. Johannes is very anxious about his grades, and is always worrying that he failed something, even though it is clear that he could easily have the best grades out of everyone in the entire school.

Using his obsession with good grades as an excuse, Johannes always says he doesn't have the time to date if someone asks him out. It's complete nonsense that he doesn't have time, of course; Johannes almost always has several spare hours in the afternoon, and is excellent at making time appear in his schedule. Using that excuse is just far easier than actually having to face his sexuality. Having been brought up in a rather religious family, Johannes always viewed anything that wasn't heterosexual as corrupt and unholy, and therefore can't bear to admit to himself that he's gay. He desperately wants to accept himself, but, yet, he doesn't want to admit who he is, nor does he want to disappoint his strict parents.
Appearance: Of a rather average, if not short, height, Johannes certainly isn't very imposing, standing at a measly five feet, seven inches, and weighing just under 120 pounds. Even though he does try to exercise, Johannes has the sort of pixie-like build that refuses to gain the slightest bit of muscle, thus making him rather scrawny. His hair is a pale blond colour that is a combination of his natural hair colour and the use of far too much hair bleach. Johannes has wide dark brown eyes and furry, caterpillar-like eyebrows that are a few shades darker than his hair. He has a fairly thin face, and while he is not drop-dead gorgeous, he certainly isn't lacking in the looks department.

Standing with fairly hideous posture, Johannes does not seem to have the ability to keep his back straight. He is almost always slouching, holding his arms to his sides in a rather timid manner. Upon seeing him, many people often think that Johannes has a startling resemblance to a kicked puppy. He can stand up straight and look aggressive when he needs to, but, most of the time, Johannes just lurks in the background trying to be as unnoticeable as possible. His preferred clothing choice is nothing fancy; jeans and t-shirts make up most of his wardrobe. He does own a suit or two, but those he will only wear for really fancy occasions. Johannes has a curious hatred of shoes, and will only ever wear shoes if he absolutely has to. Occasionally, he has actually walked into school barefoot, much to the principal's annoyance. If he does have to wear shoes, Johannes will be wearing a pair of ratty black converse so sun-bleached that they're almost white, with multiple worn out places in the fabric of the shoes. The laces are so worn that he doesn't even bother tying them anymore. Many people have asked Johannes why he doesn't buy new shoes, to which he'll reply that if they fall apart, he won't have any shoes to wear, and therefore he won't have to wear shoes at all.
Quick Bio: Born in Southern Germany, in Munich to be precise, Johannes lived there for the first six years of his life. Then, just before turning seven, he and his family moved to St. Aislin after his father got a job transfer. At first, he was a bit of an outcast, mainly because he couldn't speak a word of English for the first year he was in St. Aislin. However, he quickly learned, and by the time he was eight, could speak English just as well as any of the native speakers, despite his rather thick accent. It was somewhere around this time that Johannes met his best friend. He immediately was fond of his outgoing, charismatic personality, especially since it was like night and day from his introverted, shy personality. That boy quickly became his best friend, and Johannes would almost always be seen sticking by his side.

By the time he entered middle school, Johannes began to have doubts about who he was. His parents, very strict Catholics, had drilled it into Johannes' head that gay equaled evil. Johannes had convinced himself from a young age that he would always be straight; however, upon entering eighth grade, he found things had changed. Johannes began to find himself noticing the guys in his classes. He couldn't care less about the females, but, he was almost always noticing the guys. Soon, he discovered that his best friend was among those guys. Feeling disgusted at himself, Johannes immediately began to focus on his classwork, blocking out any emotions and erasing every scrap of time he had with piles of schoolwork. He transferred into the Catholic high school when he entered ninth grade, thinking that it would be a good idea to get away from his best friend for a little while.

Halfway through his tenth grade year, Johannes' parents decided that the tuition fees for the Catholic high school were too expensive, so he transferred back into the normal high school. Soon, he discovered that all of his classes were with his former best friend. Johannes couldn't help feel the tension that grew up between them; this tension only grew worse when a teacher assigned them to work on a project together. One night, when Johannes was at his friend's house, working on this project, his friend came out to him. Johannes was shocked, and, in shock, did something completely reckless. Without thinking, he had leaned in and kissed his friend. Halfway through, he had realised what he was doing, and sprang up, storming out of his friend's house. Ever since then, he has been avoiding his friend, and has refused to talk to anyone, instead just overburdening himself with school worked and becoming completely withdrawn from society.
