...personal*
personality He's not the wisest kids on the block, nor does he use the little smarts he's got. But underneath it all is an unednging, undying fire full of passion and longing for some sort of understanding for the world around him. He just tries to drown this fire, what with all the alcohal and drugs and the constant lack of affection towards others.
He hates himself, he doesn't want to be himself anymore. But that fire of his won't let him die. He's got a reason somewhere, and no matter how long he tried to avoid doing anything to get there, he's /going/ to get there. Martin doesn't infalte himself with pride, he doesn't think he's better than anybody else. He knows he's crap, that he's no good and that he's not worth any effort. Which is why he always has to fight himself to not warm up to someone who actually DOES give a damn about him.
Even so, he's not one to throw his opinion out there unless he's got witty sarcasm dripping from it, or unless he finds it necessary. One such time for him is during an awkward pause or anything else remotely strange to him. He's just like that. Quirky ever so, he'll go out of his way to NOT cause other's trouble, mainly cause he doesn't want people who are bitchin' at him at this point in his life.
past Unlike what most would think, he wasn't born on the side of the street, or in an abusive family, or any other sort of bad situation. His family was rich enough to get by, middle-class workers who hit it big time 5 years after he, their only child, was born. So now they really were rich, and they were going to stay in that status for a long time. So he was pampered and lived in a plush home with a soft bed and good food.
But he wasn't happy, his parents always being gone, always throwing their weight around and causing everyone else to clean up their messes. It just made Martin sick, and so he left shortly after finishing 7th grade. He still doubts, to this day, that his parents notice his absence. Which is, in part, true. They don't care, at all. So he's learned not to, either. Even though he's 'accidently' run into them a couple times.
So, of course, he kept some of his money, but he doesn't let anyone know he's /not/ the poor, hobo-ish guy that he wants and tries to be. But he uses his money sparringly, sometimes on drugs or alcohal, more commonly on books and knick knacks, and usually on food. He continued to travel, somehow keeping a large amount of money. Maybe from all the hard labor he'd do in each town he stopped at. Which, if you think about it, going from Venice, Florida to New York City, New York, means a LOT of cities to stop at. So he's certaintly earned his worth time and time again, though he moved on soon after stopping.
present
He has wasted even more of his money for an apartment, and for school crap that he'll need at the school he enrolled in. Surprised they took him in, that's definately an understatement. Even so, no matter the wheather, he's almost always outside, on the streets, in the mall. Anywhere where there's so much noise he can't remember or think over things that have come to fall from the past.
He recently left NY, due to the tragic death of both his parents in a plane crash, and had not been seen since, having had to take time to recover and such. But now, he is back. With a vengeance.
He's made some friends, and he's looking for a job, but otherwise it's the same as always. He sticks to himself, fufuills his wants with the usual substance, then pulls off a facade of normalcy. Though, he noticed there's no tattoo parlors around here. He'll have to change that.

likes
--* Fruits. They're so simple, he doesn't have to worry about anything other than if they're rotting.
--* Anything that doesn't make him have to get up off his can and do something... Unless he has a REALLY good reason.
--*The iPod he lifted off some guy while he was traveling. Hey! He was in middle school, he didn't know better!
--*His tattoos, and showing them off to wide-eyed kids. They mean something, each and every one. They tell a grand story, too.
--* Other guys. For whatever reason, he's not interested in chicks. Got a problem with that?
dislikes
--* Monkeys. They scare the shit right out of him.
--* People who have to ALWAYS pick fights with him. It's not like he really cares what they're going to do, so long as they don't come bitchin at him.
--* The concept of sex. He's still so young at heart. Contrary to belief, he is not a rapist, either.
--* People who 'judge a book by it's cover'. They're just about the same thing as racists. Only they judge everyone, not just skin types.
--* Roadkill. It makes him feel all sappy inside. When he was still in Middle School and traveling, he'd always say a prayer for them. Even though he lost belief in a God years before.
other notes Beasticles are Beasts that were frozen and thus eaten by giants as popsicles.
...literature*
book title Romeo && Juliet
backstory In reality, Mercutio is a bit of a filler character, being one of Romeo's little friendly friends. But that speech of his before he crashes Juliet's party with his friends is by far one of my favorite things to quote on, and it makes you sympathetic for the poor old guy, who hangs out with little kids who ain't his age.
But when he's not sober or partying, he's fighting away at one guy or another, one of his famous one's being against Tybalt, which sparked that little 'revenge' thing Romeo suddenly had later on. Tybalt won in the end, then ran off like the coward he is, leaving Mercutio to say whatever the hell he wanted. Which he did, before being dragged off into some random house, and then pronounced dead.
I truly hope that Tybalt burns in hell for killing my sexy man-beast.
