Carver, Ezra

It's a Cataclysm Character

Full name: Ezra Blythe Carver
Nicknames/Aliases: Ez. Carver. Anything, really.
Date of Birth: December 20, 1993
Gender: Boy?
Grade: Junior
Education: Bay Grove High School
Appearance: Lithe and lanky, Ezra has a slender build that is full of lean muscle. His body is rather lanky, though, and his long legs seem to stretch forever. Everything about him shouts LAZY, so his movements and just all around manner can only be described as languid. His manner of slouching his lanky body and the way his level, tilted light brown eyes seem to stare right through you makes one wonder what exactly is going on in his mind. He is handsome, there is no doubt about that. Freckled and an almost baby-face come together with his messy bed head to create a tall, very good looking boy, though this is something Ezra often takes for granted.

Clothing tends to be simple but nice. Button-up dressy shirts, polos, graphic tees with cryptic messages paired with jeans and converse shoes are his usual attire. Because he gets cold easily, he usually wears a hoodie over his shirt. That said, most of his clothing looks as though Ezra picked them up from a pile near his bed - which is really exactly the case. Yes, they are clean, and yes, they are also wrinkled.

The only item of jewelry found on him can be an old watch attached to his wrist. When asked about it, Carver simply smiles lazily and elaborates a story, instead of saying the truth; that it belonged to this father, and that this is his way to think of him.

PersonalityRemember that kid, back in High School? The one who sat in the very back of the classroom and spent his time either staring out the window with an absent expression, doodling on a paper or simply and unabashedly sleeping while a class was going on? That is Ezra Carver for you. His mind has never been and still isn't on his studies. Without any kind of proper encouragement, Ezra has skirted around his classes as best as he possibly can (except not), and it really is a wonder how he's made it this far without flunking a year.

Proud. Lazy. Cocky. Spontaneous. Irresponsible. These words easily sum up Ezra Carver. Especially lazy, for everything about him screams lazy. His clothes, his walk, the way he's almost always slouching or leaning against something, his yawns, his heavy lidded eyes, smile, and even voice. Soft spoken as he is, Ezra has the tendency of barely open his mouth when he speaks, and often appears to be utterly bored. Or just plain sleepy. Not that these are particularly bad qualities on him, though - Carver somehow manages to pull them off and make them endearing. Maybe it's the slow, crooked smile that he offers to people, or the innocent look that is usually hiding below his thick lashes and dropping lids, either way, when not talking, Ezra comes off more-naive looking than he actually is.

When it comes to girls, Ezra is not apathetic but isn't one to chase anyone either. Yes, he can be charming and flirtatious when he puts his mind to it, but there's no need to when half of the girls follow his lazy ass around, attracted to whatever vibe it is that he gives. Ezra doesn't really understands females, and doesn't bother to pretend that he does, either - after all, they are fascinating because of their complexity. Or so he's heard. Ezra has yet to find someone that can back up this theory for as of now, while he's dated several girls, the boy has yet to be anywhere near to experience that thing they call 'being in love.' So in the end Carver ends the relationships, making the girls believe that they can do better. Which is completely true. He's a charitable and kind soul, obviously.

The type to tune anyone's babbling out and patronize you on a daily basis, Ezra doesn't really have a temper. Rares are the time he's been seen angry or upset, and Carver likes it that way. After all, laughing at other people's dramas and judging them for creating it doesn't really mean that he wants to be part of it. Other than sleeping, people watching is his second favorite thing to do, and only talks when spoken to, or after someone says something that leaves everyone silent, because in his mind, the tension is practically yelling 'please insert a smartass or sarcastic comment here.'

In spite of his poor grades and seemingly care-less nature, Carver is actually rather witty and owns a quick mind. Well, save for when it comes to numbers, because those can kiss his toned ass for all he cares. That being said, Ezra does not lack common sense at all, and he often finds himself staring at his 'friends' (Popular Kids, he's looking at you) with a frustrated and amused expression on his face, wondering what the hell is wrong with people these days. Not that he's one to talk, for when bored, and though he doesn't need to, Ezra has gotten the rotten habit of stealing. Just for the shits and giggles, he says.

History: The Carvers arrived in the May Flower and settled in Bay Grove a few years after its foundation. No, they are not one of the founding families, but they are certainly one of the oldest ones, and thus are closed with them. This is why, since very young age, Ezra and his siblings (then just him, sister and his brother then) were taught to stick with the same people. This explains why to this day, Ezra is still considered one of the populars - because the other kids just feel like he belongs with them, even though he just doesn't seem to care, or is bothered by any of them. They most likely feel like it's their duty to keep him there.

At the age of fourteen, however, his parents died after being involved in a car accident, and Ezra, and his two sisters were left under the care of their oldest brother. Ezra coped with this by talking even less than usual, going to church and having a lot of sleepless nights for an entire year.

Though once rather well off, the Carvers, through time, became middle class, and when the tragedy happened, things got a little tight around the household - after all, Elliot (the big brother) was in his last year in College only. As soon as he began working, though, things went back to normal (for the most part), and Ezra moved on with his lazy life which consisted of ignoring most people, and not being bothered by most things.

And yes, moving on includes eating enough, sleeping more than enough, and giving up on church. However, he does pray every night before going to church and once in while visits his parents' tombs and silently talks to them.

Likes: people, girls, legs, long necks, sleep, eating, sleep, eating, pacman, converse shoes, computers, cellphones, apple juice, mashed potatoes, watches, the sea, short skirts, stars, UFO's, music, his iPod, his pillow, his bed, his room, his Farrah Fawcett 3 feet long poster (that hair, total GILF, too bad she's dead), the brother's girlfriend, his chair in the back of the classroom at home room, the little sister, the brother, the sister (sometimes), the old neighbor from across the street who's name he doesn't know, flowers during spring, summer, the color white, brown eyes, tanned girls (he plans on moving to Brazil, or somewhere in Latinamerica), the Constanza girls, Brazil, Marilyn Monroe (what a woman, too bad she's dead) and sand castles.

Dislikeshomework, school, teachers, tests, grades, numbers, sudoku, books, having to read a book for class (not that he ever does it. Hello? Online summaries?), the sister (sometimes), the brother's girlfriend, coffee, tea, coke (sodas in general), waking up early, computer and cellphone about to die, and vegetables. Very few things annoy him.

Family:
-The Parents [Deceased]
-Elliot [Brother, 25]
-Emma [Sister, 19]
-Eleanor [Sister, 7]
Allergies: Idiocy
Extras: Let's face it - Ezra isn't getting a scholarship any time soon for his grades, so he (or rather his brother made him) figured very early on he might as well try in some other are. He tried with footbal, and found lauahgable; basketball bored, and in cross country and track and field he ended up distracted. So he went for soccer in the end, and he's not an entirely bad goalie. Actually, he's height helps him a lot in this area, making him an often assertive one. Ezra is surprisingly healthy, refusing to eat meat and anything that can be considered junk food.
