Still subject to change until the RP starts, but... well, here's my temp.
“To infinity…AND BEYOND!”
"Have you ever considered your purpose? Your meaning? Your... existence itself? Wonderful. Me neither."
Name: Holland “Apollo” Shields
Age: 24
Appearance:
As you would expect from a pop singer, and an idol, Holland is quite good looking. He stands at, about, 5’7” and has a slim body, though not a particularly muscular one. He doesn’t tan easily, so his skin is a tad pale, but it’s nothing too noticeable. His hair is naturally brown, but he bleached it blond as he thought it would garner him a bigger fan base. It’s a tad shaggy, but doesn’t fall far past his ears. He has little hair beneath his neck, anywhere on his body, as he thinks a hairless body is slicker. His eyes are brown near the pupil, and green near the whites.
In terms of clothing, he takes full advantage of his funds, by buying upscale, often. Virtually all of his formal clothing is from designer labels, and even his casual wear is usually cutting-edge. He doesn’t hold many preferences for clothing, however, and seems to be okay with just about anything.
Hometown/Homeplanet: San Francisco, Earth
Personality: As a bit of a celebrity, Holland spends much of his time in public, going to parties, performing, and other such things. This, of course, means he has to put on his best face. That said, in public, Holland comes across as a gentle, caring soul who is willing to help just about anyone and seems to thrive on making other people happy. He is always ridiculously polite, and apologizes for the least important things he does… most of the time.
Meanwhile, when drawing a comparison between his public and private personas, you could say the difference is eternal night and… day. In private, he manages to express his apparent dislike for most people. And express it he does. He is ridiculously blunt, and will point out people’s faults at every opportunity. This, combined with his tendency to keep ridiculously strict ideas as to who he’ll allow himself to associate with makes him a less than pleasant individual.
However, when he takes a liking to someone, he really does. In fact, he’d be willing to lay down his life for someone he honestly enjoyed the company of, and, while managing to remain just as rude as ever around such people, he still seems to do them favors and attempt to atone for whatever they may dislike about him without actually changing anything. However, as these people are few and far between, this manages to pull off only happening once in a blue moon or so. That said, his ridiculous obsessions don’t prove to be major problems to him, at least.
Even when he takes a liking to someone, however, he still attempts to say as little about himself as possible. He prefers to direct every single conversation he has towards the other person… though, when this isn’t possible, he still tries to beat around the bush.
Holland is extremely persistent. When he wants something, he’ll go to any reasonable length to get it, and quite a few unreasonable ones. He’s ridiculously stubborn, and is willing to suffer to prove even the most arbitrary points… and especially to accomplish any career plans. On the rare occasions that he’s fought people, he’s managed to stand up to people twice his size through sheer willpower… although he still managed to get beaten badly. However, that said, with his resources, he actually manages to accomplish most goals he sets for himself… though not without significant losses to his bodily functions, bone-mass, and/or self esteem.
Skills: Holland is quite skinny, and not the tallest person. He is lacking in upper body strength, and his legs aren’t particularly wonderful either. However, he’s a very fast learner, and often manages to pick up new things and become somewhat proficient within a week, even… though much f this is due to his ridiculous determination and willpower. He’s got great endurance, and can take plenty of punishment before losing consciousness. He also manages to be very fit, though not strong. That said, he’d be good for drawn out activities, like long hikes, etc. Also, of course, he is a proficient singer. This isn’t exactly the most battle-oriented skill… but it’s something.
Weapon: Though he doesn’t carry one on him, Holland knows how to use a gun, at least.
Bio: Holland lived a less than interesting life, for quite a long while. He grew up in a rather bland, ordinary family. This family lived in an ordinary house, and did things so ordinarily that no one could actually take it, but they had to keep smiling so that things could be ordinary. Now, as you can imagine, this displeased Holland immensely. He wanted an outlet for all the emotion that he was forced to bottle up, so he joined a local band. However, he quickly got kicked out due to not being good enough for their elite tastes. Hoping to spite them, he trained his voice vigorously and gathered a new band, which managed to sign to a record label. This band managed to maintain moderate success for a few years, though they never reached superstardom. Eventually, bored with the lack of success this band was bringing him, Holland quit.
He teamed up with one of the most popular record producers of the 2000s and released a solo debut. It was all written by other people, and all the instruments were synthesized… but he wanted success, and musical ethics weren’t going to stop him. And success he got. Most of the songs on the album wound up being released as singles, because his record company wanted to cash in on their confounding success. He topped the charts for weeks, and all of a sudden, he was totally on top. However, he soon decided that ethics did matter, and decided to record a second album, this time with a real backing band, and with a much harsher, less pop sound. Having just released the album, as of 2010, he’s more popular then ever, and he’s loving it. Being the superstar that he is, Holland was given a ticket to the festivities on Gaea. He honestly doesn’t know why, but he’s hoping the GC might want to pose a sponsorship deal. Whatever the case, he’s not one to pass up such a huge event anyways.
