Ethan Johnson - 18 Y/O

He was born in Miami, Florida in 1996 and has an older brother who is 21. Ethan has lived in the same 3 storey house since birth. His family has a middle class income, his Father is a biophysicist and his mother an elementary school teacher. When he was 12 his parents divorced so he lived with just his dad and brother, because if this he spent a lot of time with his father who began to talk with him seriously about relationships and the opposite sex for the first time, as well as the problems between Ethan's mother and himself. This experience made Ethan less sensitive to every day problems, which lost him several peers. Ethan became colder with every passing day and only focused on the serious problems of life.

Throughout his school years Ethan has been known as the smart, nice guy who has a good relationship with everyone around him. Girls don't consider him to be the most attractive of people but his personality along with his intelligence and build has resulted in a couple of girls having a romantic interest in him in the past. When he was 15 he began studying every monday and friday after school with a girl who he had been assigned to work on a science project with over the next two months. As the weeks went by they developed a strong bond and sometimes she would even sleepover on the friday sessions. After a month of working together Ethan, in his mind, had declared himself in love with this girl. Eventually he asked her to be his girlfriend and she said yes, they were together for 3 years until she suddenly broke up with him. He has cried almost every night since then and hates himself for making her break up with him, even though he had been completely selfless and caring throughout the 3 years. This experience forced him into a deep depression that since then, has never gone away.

Ethan has always enjoyed spending time with his family, particularly his brother, whom he confides with on everything. He is average looking and very conscious of this - actually believing himself to be ugly. This in turn resulted in morning routines that would take a little longer than the average male his age, but after the breakup he simply stopped caring. Ethan is respectful and open to all people unless given a good reason not to be and is usually the person who will be tasked with showing new students around the school. Ethan has no patience for liars and people who intentionally try to cause problems, his physical prowess have been a deterring factor to anybody thinking about bullying him, however he has witnessed close friends of him fall victim to bullies in the past and when this has happened, he is always the one to solve the problem. His favourite song is Green Day - 'Boulevard of broken dreams' The song reflects his own feelings of loneliness which is why he relates to it. His favourite genres are rock and alternative rock. He prefers songs that he can directly relate to.
