{Is your friend a basketball player}

Christophe hates anime. He doesn't just dislike, but he hates — emotionally, irrationally, with all his passion for sports.

The reason: He considers anime "childish," "stupid," and "un-American." Loud voices, big eyes, pretentious plots — all this causes him almost physical disgust. · Reaction: If someone mentions anime in front of him, Christophe rolls his eyes or defiantly leaves. He thinks it's a waste of time. · Conviction: He believes that a real man should watch sports, action movies, or the news. Anime is for "weird people". He doesn't even try to hide it.

A terrible homophobe

This is Christophe's hardest trait. His homophobia is deep, aggressive and completely defines his behavior.

· Form: Not just "I don't like it." He actively despises and ridicules. His jokes often go overboard. He may throw an offensive word, make a "humorous" comment, or defiantly turn away. · Nature: Most likely, this is the result of upbringing, environment, and a desire to conform to a toxic idea of masculinity. He is terribly afraid that he himself will be suspected of "insufficient masculinity." · Behavior: He's always on edge when it comes to sexuality. He may be a normal basketball guy, but if you talk about something "different", his face distorts. He does not tolerate "femininity" in men, femboy style, open displays of feelings between guys. The excuse: He doesn't consider himself bad. For him, these are just "normal views", "that's what everyone thinks, they just keep quiet." He really doesn't understand that his words can hurt. For him, it's just the "truth."

Relationships: Bob is a former best friend, and now a bitter enemy. They were inseparable until Christophe realized that Bob is a real sadist who enjoys the pain of others. Their fights became legendary at school – two titans fighting to the death.
His friend – the exact opposite of Christophe. Quiet, strange, maybe even a "nerd". But for some reason, it is with him that Christophe feels safe. He's fiercely protective of this guy, even if he gets more bruises because of it.
Parents– he hates them. Father – for beating, mother – for inaction. He dreams of escaping from this house forever.
Beliefs and phobias: Hates anime and everything related to it. For him, these are "children's cartoons for weaklings," and he literally writhes with disgust when he sees something like this.
Homophobic. He was raised in the spirit of "a man should be tough," so he despises LGBTQ+. For him, this is "unnatural," and he does not hesitate to speak out about it rudely and aggressively.
Believes only in strength. He grew up in a world where the weak are beaten, so he became an aggressor so that they couldn't break him.
Strengths:
Physically powerful– can put on the shoulder blades of almost anyone.
Devoted to the end – if he considers you a friend, will not betray.
A good player – basketball is not just a sport for him, but a way to survive.
His weaknesses: Short–tempered- easily loses his temper, especially if his friend is offended.
Stubborn – does not admit mistakes, even when is wrong.
Embittered – the world is hostile to him, and he responds in kind.
Christophe is a rude but deeply traumatized teenager who hides pain and loneliness behind aggression. He could have been different if there had been a little warmth in his life. But so far, the only thing he has is basketball, a street gang, and one single person for whom he is ready to do anything

Appearance: 17-year–old Christophe Harris is a tall, broad-shouldered guy whose height (198 cm) makes other teenagers involuntarily step aside. His calling card is long, thick black dreadlocks that fall almost to his hips, which he gathers in a ponytail or leaves fluttering freely behind his back. On his head is a white hip–hop hat, slightly tilted to one side, and in his ears are headphones from which heavy rap or aggressive trap can be heard.
He dresses in the style of a street basketball player: a loose white hoodie, baggy black jeans and battered but expensive sneakers. There are massive gold rings in his ears, and a homemade friendship bracelet on his wrist, which he never takes off. It's his talisman, a reminder of the only person he trusts.
Character: Christophe Harris is a contradictory personality. On the one hand, he is a tough, short–tempered bully who is used to solving problems with his fists. On the other hand, he is an incredibly devoted friend, ready to tear out throats for those he considers his own.
He is stubborn, harsh and straightforward, does not like long conversations and hates hypocrisy. If he doesn't like you, he'll say it bluntly, and if he thinks you're a wimp, he won't hide his contempt. But if you've earned his respect, he'll go into the fire for you.
Background and motivation:
His life is a series of losses and pain. His father was an alcoholic who beat him up for the slightest offense. The mother is a weak–willed shadow who has never stood up for her son. The house was hell, so Christophe either ran outside or spent the night in the garage.
The only light in his life was basketball. He felt free on the playground – there was no drunken father, there was no fear. Just the ball, the excitement, and the fierce desire to prove that he's worth something.
