Appearance
Bishop stands at a slightly above average height for a male freshman at 5'10". Due to his extensive practice in swimming, his body is lean and muscular however not to the effect that he seems 'wiry'. His eyes are a vibrant sky blue that seem to always hold a glimmer of kindness to them. However, catching him in the right mood and you'll see a powerful fire behind them that betrays his gentle nature. He's taken most of his looks from his father, but for now, they appear to be softened by his mother's genetics.

Personality

"Well... I honestly can't help who I am. So why not be the best 'me' that I can be!"

Bishop generally is a very kind person. He tends to try and think about other people, often to a fault and is as positive in himself as he is about other people. His mother always said that he saw the best in people, even when nobody else would or could. However, despite his positive nature, Bishop has a bit of a problem really getting close to people. Moving around so much he's never really had a 'best friend' or a large group of friends before. This leaves him somewhat ignorant to a number of social things, which he is fully aware of and holds himself back because of it... Which exacerbates the issue. All in all, though, Bishop is the kind of person to never give up on anyone no matter what they had done to him in the past. His parents raised him to always do what was 'right' and forgiveness is one of those things. He doesn't believe in holding a grudge, although he's had no reason to in his life. Deep down inside, Bishop loves a good competition. Especially in events that pit him against other individuals, but that doesn't mean he isn't a team player. His self-sacrificing nature is a boost to any team or friendship. He would do a lot for his friends, and even a surprising amount for people he barely knows or don't like him.

"You're still here?"

Bishop grew up in a military family, with his father being an officer in the U.S. Navy as an EOD operator. That being said he's used to moving around a lot, and has had some trouble gaining very close friends through the years. On the plus side, he's been to numerous countries including the U.S., Guam, most recently Australia and of course Japan. He's moved in from the naval base in Okinawa when his father was reassigned to another near the capital of Tokyo. This time around his mother wanted to try and settle in the city she grew up in buying a home not too far from her old house. Bishop's greatest hobby at his young age is swimming competitively and he's actually very skilled! So much so that the young man has earned himself a swimming scholarship at the elite Airdalen High School! This is looking to be the first school he's ever gone to where he's going to stay for more than a year.[/center]

"As much as traveling is great, I wish I was able to stay in one place for more than a year or two."

Biological:

Name: Kimiko Trander

Relationship: Mother

Bishop is very close to his mother. They have a typical mother-son relationship doing as he's told and showing up on time for curfew. He lives at home with his mother not seeing his father as much as they all would like. But he understands and is just happy to have parents like them at all. He is quite protective of her though, she's one of the few people he would legitimately fight for. Kimiko is a lively woman, always charismatic and charming she has a contagious laugh and seems to brighten everyone's day. It's no wonder where Bishop get's many of his habits from.

Name: Alex Trander

Relationship: Father

About: Bishop and his dad have always bonded well. He takes in every word the man says and hopes to one day be as great as he is. Unfortunately due to his father's work in the U.S. Navy he isn't home all the time or for very long. Usually every other weekend or so. His father works as an officer in the Navy commanding a small unit of Explosive Ordinance Disposal (EOD) operators along with a few allied nations that work with them. Alex's figure and first impression are generally impressive standing tall with a strong trained body you'd think he was an action movie star. But the American is very laid back and can surprise you with things you wouldn't expect. He's intelligent, polite and well versed on social interactions usually leading a conversation or starting one. It's no wonder why Bishop looks up to his dad so much. (Couldn't find anything in anime)

Name: Grandmother Seito

Relationship: Grandmother

About: Seito is an endearing woman that you would think is very traditional. But to the contrary, she's her own woman knowing full well when tradition doesn't have its place in the modern world. She's a very skilled gambler and loves to nag her grandson about finding a pretty girlfriend. Bishop will occasionally stop by their old big house to study if his mother is being too rambunctious playing Wii or being weird. He also tends to sleep over for a few days when his dad comes into town so they can have some 'alone time' which he frankly doesn't want to know about in the least.

Name: Aunt Musubi

Relationship: Aunt

About: His aunt is pretty nosy. Musubi is notorious for finding out information about Bishop through seemingly innocent questions then spilling the details like gossip to her sister Kimiko. Musubi is a master Judo instructor and has a very competitive nature, as well as can a bit bossy.

Godfathers:

Bishop has 3 godfathers, all military officers from different countries that have been longtime friends of his father. They were there he was born and have babysat him when his parents were away on multiple occasions. They don't come by as often as his father does, but he's close to all of them.

" Who? "

" I think he's the president of the social society. He said there was a shirt policy.... Was he joking? Or serious? "

" She hasn't talked to me since the locker room... It hasn't been long, but I still think about what she said to me. That can't be the end of it. "

" He's a guy that everyone makes a big deal about... Not entirely sure why. But he's nice enough, but looks a little stiff "

" Who? "

" Fuyuki said that she and 'J-kun' were childhood friends.... They don't seem like the type to be friends... And what's with that look? "

" I'm sorry, I don't know who that is. "

" He was the first person to help me at this new school. Seems really quiet though, but he speaks English and is easy to talk to. Maybe we can talk more as time goes on. "

" She's like... The nicest person EVER! I actually can't pronounce her name yet, but I think we'll become good friends. "

" I've met her once before, at the theater club booth. She seems so nice, kinda like a big sister. "

" Fuyu-Senpai- she's great! I just don't like everyone staring at us all the time. It's like she's a celebrity or something and I'm caught up in a wave. "

" I saw her being what looked like was bullied by a boy. I still haven't talked to her again; although I'm not sure if I want to. "

" He was tossing around that girl's phone. Don't really know him, but the vibe I'm getting is a bully. "

" Probably the closest thing to a best friend I have at this school. But is he gay? I mean, I don't care if he is. But from what I saw.... Hmmmm. "
