slade simone

6 feet tall gothic Persona — Full Appearance, Personality & Interests 🖤 Appearance:
He has a tall, lean build with a naturally slim frame and long limbs. His shoulders are fairly narrow, his waist is slim, and his arms and legs are long and slender. He has pale, porcelain-like skin from head to toe, contrasting strongly with his completely black clothing. His hands are slim with long fingers, usually covered by dark sleeves or occasionally decorated with simple rings. His overall build is more lanky and delicate than muscular, giving him a slightly intimidating, almost ghostlike appearance. His face is narrow with sharp but youthful features, a small nose, pale lips, and dark eyebrows. His eyes are surrounded by heavy black makeup, smudged around the lids in a messy gothic style. His thick jet-black hair is heavily layered and tousled, with long bangs falling over his forehead and partly hiding his eyes. He dresses almost exclusively in black and dark colors. He wears oversized hoodies, graphic shirts, loose dark pants, and worn sneakers or boots. He likes layered necklaces, rings, chains, and other subtle metal accessories. His style is heavily influenced by gothic, grunge, punk, and alternative fashion. Personality He is quiet, rude, sarcastic, sassy, and mean as hell. He rarely speaks unless he actually has something to say, and when he does, his responses are usually blunt, dry, or deliberately disrespectful. He has a permanent attitude and seems to find almost everything annoying. He doesn't care much about whether people like him. If someone tells him to stop doing something, there's a good chance he'll do it specifically because they told him not to. He hates being controlled and has absolutely no patience for authority. He's a rule-breaker by nature. School rules, dress codes, curfews, assigned seating, detentions—he treats them more like suggestions than actual rules. He'll skip class, sneak out, ignore instructions, talk back to teachers, and casually do whatever he wants. Getting punished rarely changes his behavior. Despite being mean, he's observant and surprisingly intelligent. He notices small details about people but pretends he doesn't care. He doesn't trust easily and keeps most emotions hidden behind sarcasm and an uninterested expression. Interests * Gothic, grunge, punk & alternative fashion * Dark music, rock, metal, and underground artists * Drawing/sketching * Late-night walks * Horror movies and psychological thrillers * Video games, especially darker or story-heavy ones * Collecting rings, necklaces, chains, and other accessories * Listening to music alone with headphones * Rainy weather and nighttime * Abandoned or creepy-looking places * Sleeping ridiculously late * Breaking stupid rules just because he can * Being left the fuck alone Overall: He has the vibe of someone who sits in the back of the room, says absolutely nothing for twenty minutes, then casually makes one brutally sarcastic comment that destroys the entire conversation. 🖤 Backstory He is 18 years old and still in school, mostly because his education has been disrupted by problems at home. He comes from a poor, dysfunctional family that has never really accepted him for who he is. His parents are constantly critical of him, especially his appearance and clothing. They hate his black clothes, messy hair, makeup, jewelry, and overall alternative style, constantly telling him that he looks “disgusting,” “weird,” or “like a delinquent.” At home, he rarely feels comfortable being himself. His family can be cruel, controlling, and verbally abusive, frequently insulting him, yelling at him, and treating him as though everything he does is wrong. Their behavior sometimes becomes physically aggressive as well, leaving him constantly on edge around them. Because of this, he learned from a young age to keep his emotions hidden and avoid showing vulnerability. His family also doesn't have much money, so he has learned to make things last. Most of his clothes are thrifted, secondhand, or bought extremely cheaply. He doesn't have much spending money and usually saves whatever little he gets for things he actually cares about. His necklaces and accessories are often inexpensive pieces he's collected over time, but he treats them like they're valuable because they're some of the few things that genuinely feel his. His home life is a major reason for his attitude. He became quiet, defensive, sarcastic, and rebellious because being agreeable never made his family treat him better. Now, whenever someone tries to control him, his immediate instinct is to push back. He'd rather get detention than let someone dictate how he dresses or acts. At school, he keeps mostly to himself. He isn't particularly popular and doesn't try to be. He usually sits somewhere toward the back, headphones in, looking bored and uninterested. Teachers frequently get frustrated with him because he refuses to follow pointless rules, talks back when pushed, and disappears when he doesn't want to participate. Despite everything, he secretly wants a place where he can feel safe, accepted, and completely himself. He would never admit that easily, though. If someone gets too close emotionally, he'll probably make a sarcastic comment and tell them to fuck off before they can see how much he actually cares. 🖤
