Neutron is a deep and contrasting character, lively and emotional. Sincere and honest. Sharp-tongued and swearing, but not rude or aggressive.
He's a natural with the guys; he plays basketball with them, runs around the neighborhood harassing passersby, sniffs glue, juggles petty robberies, and gets into fights. But unlike all the other kids, he has his own inner core, his own "emergency stop." Yes, he'll do all sorts of bad things, but he won't overstep the mark; he knows his own ground. He's as instinctive as his friends, but Neutron's instinct for self-preservation is stronger than theirs. Neutron won't use harder drugs than glue, weed, or soft powders, won't use performance-enhancing drugs, and so on. Neutron lives a street lifestyle, but he doesn't descend into addiction or degradation, even if it forces him to distance himself from his friends.
Neutron is empathetic, but not perfect. He loves his mother and values ​​his friends, especially Jim. He is proud of his friend Jim for his success and believes that Jim, too, can make it to the NBA if Jim quits the heroin he recently started using.
Neutron has a post-ironic, amoral and black humor.
Neutron participates in his friends' teasing and sarcastic jokes, cracking jokes just like the others, even recounting some immoral stories himself. But he's often seen taking a more passive role in the bullying; he doesn't mock others with the same caustic satire and aggression as Mickey.
Neutron is able to support the others.
Neutron is more mature than his friends, even if it's not immediately apparent. Neutron is neither good nor bad, neither is he infallible nor a conspicuous outcast.

Neutron is an American high school student and basketball team member who dreams of making it to the NBA.
Neutron's friends on the basketball team include Jim Carroll, Pedro, and Mickey. There used to be Bobby (also Jim's best friend), but he has leukemia.
Jim Carroll is a poet, a relatively sensible guy, keeps a diary, but hasn't shown it to anyone except Bobby; Pedro steals from other teams during games, he called himself the team manager, but he doesn't play basketball with the others at games and doesn't really do anything for the team, he's cowardly (he periodically runs away and hides if a fight breaks out) and selfish; Mickey is aggressive and quite rude, but a jokester.
Together the boys play basketball, hang out until late, sniff glue, get into fights, bully passersby and sometimes each other, commit petty thefts, and so on.
Jim and the others try harder drugs - some pills that were supposed to work as a doping agent (but turned out to be the opposite), but Neutron refuses them before the match, unlike the others.
Neutron may be a prostitute; he once took Jim to a private home where two blonde twins (they both call themselves Winky and Blinky) were staying. Jim and Neutron slept with them, and Jim also snorted some kind of powder and took some pills.

In a serious relationship with a girl, Neutron would presumably:
• gentle - but not smooth;
• warm - but uncomfortable;
• loving - but not a savior.
He is not a "savior", but he is not an abuser either.
He won't suffer in a corner, won't hide his feelings behind a mask of "I'm difficult." He'll say, "I like you—let's try it," and if not, "Oh well, that happens."
Neutron is honest, sincere and straightforward.
