my apologies, this is kind of tl;dr
Hey guys! I've just applied with this character, Gilbert Nishihara, who just happens to look like Justin Nozuka. Gil was born and raised in Hawaii but has been at Tegesta since his freshman year (he's a senior now) so he probably knows a few people. Basically he's a pretty friendly guy who, like a good island boy, loves to surf and enjoys Spam more than any human probably should. He's also really good at math, plays the ukulele and sometimes composes music for his dad's traditional Polynesian performance group. Additionally he's a huge spaz. The only exception to this is when he's in the water which is why he's been a valuable asset to the swim team for the last couple of years--I hope it's okay to say that? Anyway I don't have much for him in the way of lines except that he's friends with zoi. So if you think your character might know him or might want to get to know him, please please please let me know. If you prefer to talk over AIM, you can reach me at the tao of gil. I'm willing to brainstorm if you are!
