Name: Johnny Caelan Meldryk
Age: 18
Appearance:
Gender: Male
Archetype/Clique: Adrenaline junkie/Athlete (if you would consider freerunning/parkour as a sport)
Personality: When you think about adrenaline junkies, the first thought that would usually pop in one's mind would be a person who is wild and reckless. Johnny isn't like that at all. He is careful, very focused, and calm: all of which he believes are the traits required if one were to participate in extreme sports. He is very patient, as he takes time in preparation before making a move. His discipline to his hobby is then naturally reflected in his relationship with people, making him an easygoing and nurturing guy.
Strengths: He takes pride in is fleet-footedness and strength. He is also quick thinking in terms of going through obstacle courses and is quite the resourceful type. Other than that, he is skilled in memorizing patterns in movement which aids him in physical activities such as dance, playing the drums, and freerunning.
Weaknesses: Though he is very good with memorizing movements, he has a terrible memory with almost everything else. He is bad at memorizing names, grocery lists, to do lists, math equations, and a few more things to name which is why he needs to carry with him a pen and paper most if not all the time. He makes up for this by repeatedly writing whatever it is that he needed to memorize on a piece of paper (or any surface) so that he could memorize the movements needed to form a word associated to that one thing he needed to remember. He always has this need to associate memorization with movement to help aid his annoying memory.
Fears: Forgetting very important things.
Audition Video:
The screen was black but there were sounds of children in the background.. And then there were sounds of dried leaves being crushed, as if someone was walking on the grass while carrying the camera.
Suddenly, a voice in the dark blared through.
"- AND ROLLING!"
"Tristan, you idiot! The lens cap is still on! Johnny, we're rolling!"
A voice from a distance replied,
"WAAAAIT!! I'm not ready!"
The lens cap was removed and the screen turned white until it faded as it adjusted, revealing a local park or a playground of some sort. On the screen was a young lad, currently hung on his legs upside down on a pull-up bar. As the camera was inching closer to him, the male struggled to bend up to grab the bar in an attempt to climb down.
"Nono, stay where you are," said the voice who was earlier referred to as Tristan. Johnny hung back down again, flabbergasted. He tried to reach for the camera but failed.
"Hey, turn that off! I'm not ready!"
"This is just practice! Now, say hi and tell us why you want to join."
Johnny relaxed a bit, holding the hem of his black shirt to prevent gravity from pulling it down.
"Uhm.. Hi, I'm Johnny Caelan.. Eighteen years old.. and uh.. I am joining 'Love or Run' because I'd like to travel around the world someday.."
"- and to get a girlfriend."
"- and to get a girlfriend, wait no! Well uhm.. If fate decides to give me a partner in the process I mean... That would be nice.. I'll take really good care of her.." He smirked at this as if trying to hold a shy smile, but then that smile faded a bit when the camera shook a few times -- an indication that his friends were bouncing in cheer silently. Johnny continued nonetheless, swaying in his position a bit casually now.
"I hope I make it. Thank you.."
"- and cut."
The screen turned black.
"You think that's good?"
The audio was still rolling.
"Yeah! Let's retake this later."
"Okay." Johnny's voice faded to the distance again, as if the two left him to train alone.
...
"I'm submitting this." Said a whisper before a snicker followed.
"Yeah, very funny. You forgot to hit the 'stop' button, moron."
"Oh, right. Sorry Rob!"
And then the camera was turned off.
Extra: He loves music and has always dreamed of being in a band, but since he is bad at memorizing chord patterns, he could only play drums and other percussion instruments.
