well, he's roommates with ~klayton and his half-brother is ~ostrander so they might be secret cousins of sorts to start off with? but aside from that, he likes to stand out, so he can get loud and obnoxious at times, he uses sarcasm and insults to keep people away a little bit so they don't get too close and find out too much about him, he's incredibly self-conscious being at the school with his background, highly aware of his parents situation and it makes him uncomfortable. he doesn't take anything seriously in life, or tries not to at least. he's a practical joker, takes things for granted and tries to act a lot more spoiled than he actually is.
