paris jabari brant
— identifies as cisgender male, preference of he/him pronouns.
— paris hasn't been able to admit it to himself, is extremely scared to admit it to himself simply because of where he was raised, and where he came from and who he hangs out with, that he is bisexual. the weight of his sexuality is
literally killing him at times, so he tries to date plenty of girls to get his mind off of ever being attracted to a man.
— paris is a wild seventeen year old, born july the third, making him him an cancer. his age can go to as high as twenty-four.
— hobbies include: smoking, drinking, partying, crying himself to sleep, watching his beloved ocean, thinking of suicide, thinking of boys, thinking of boys and girls, saying something gay and then trying to cover it up, cussing too much, taking things too far sometimes
— paris was a mistake, a lot of the time his mother made sure to make this known. his father is definitely out of the picture; a white man by the name of preston. his mother, ashanti, was someone that he met for drinks and in the hotel room quite often and preston, being middle classed, made her feel quite special. after plenty of failed relationships in her side of town, twenty-two ashanti was praying that this would be it. however, as time went on, things started to begin getting exposed with preston and the relationship began to fall from the seams this included the marriage in he was already in, which ashanti hadn't known about. when she found out, she was pregnant with who would turn out to be paris. she was enraged but preston promised her the world; promised he'd leave his wife, that he didn't love her, but was trying to figure out how to do it without her taking away the kid that he already had; although ashanti was infuriated, but because she couldn't stand the thought of another failed relationship, she stuck by him. not to mention: she loved him. as time went on, it became quite obvious that preston was beginning to distance himself but always, he made some shitty excuses. when ashanti finally had her baby, he wasn't there to sign the birth certificate, yet another excuse, she assumed. but he came with flowers to make up for the mistake, saying he had to work late. he came around, and stuck around til paris was about one years old and then without saying anything, took off from miami, flordia with his family and although ashanti doesn't know, to tampa. he cut off all his phone lines, any form of connection, everything, leaving ashanti alone in the projects to take care of a baby she hesitated to keep. as she grew up, there were times she tried her best, but didn't try at all. it was stressful raising a baby when you barely could take care of yourself, but somehow she managed. as paris grew up, she for the longest time, she didn't talk about his dad when he asked, only getting silence in return. paris, at school, was pretty popular kid; confident and forthright, but had trouble managing his temper. by the time he was seven, his mother had met another man who was anything but good and got her involved in hardcore drugs, hardcore alcohol. never did she hit him, but she stopped caring for him all together to where he had no choice but to care for himself. however, later on, he meets a drug dealer with a fairly nice house, who begins to care for him, one who he later learns is the dealer of his mother. although he is upset by it, he begins to become reliant on this couple to care for him, jaheem and naomi, jaheem later dying to a gun because he was robbed, however he never stopped being reliant of naomi. as he grew up in school, it was quite rough. paris struggled to pertain his image of what people thought about him of school and thought less of education itself. sure, he was smart, but he didn't feel any reason to try. by now, he knows who his father is. he finds out one day when his mother tells him when she was drunk but embarrassed, he keeps it to himself. paris is either in the streets or at parties smoking, or sleeping around with other girls by the time he is fifteen. he's got a big crowd around him, although there is more times than not that the absence of a parent most of his childhood makes him feel alone. there are times that he sits by the beach alone when there's no one there, and it's his only escape beside naomi, the only time he's really quiet, the only time he really
thinks.
— paris is described to be a bit of
REBELLIOUS child, reckoning to cause trouble without reason to pertain a self-image to push his way through school. while he is
LAID-BACK, and pretty
COOL to be around, he has a bit of a youthful
RESTLESS vibe about him, almost like a child, and there are times where he can be
BLUNT and a
JOKESTER. Although there are times more than not that he aims to be the class clown, paris has no limitations. he doesn't know when she quit, and can sometimes take things too far causing trouble. His outer exterior seems tough but around family members he
MELTS, you see the true side of him that he keeps hidden from everyone else, his more
EMOTIONAL and
LOVABLE side. He's a
MELANCHOLY soul, with more to him that meets the eye, but him trying to push his way through life, causes him to put on a whole different side to him around his "friends". He's
BROKEN, and sometimes can get
DEFENSIVE over the littlest of things and is quite
ENVIOUS, too, but in the end he is a great and also very
INTELLIGENT person, who holds back a lot to himself than he let's on.
— paris spends a lot of his times in the streets, or at parties, and at schools, in the halls. he hangs out with a group of friends who are typically bullies, but when it comes to that, most of the time he doesn't tag along. the only people he "bullies" as a joke, is his friends.
— he doesn't care to go to the "clean" side of town much. he feels uneasy there a lot of the time, feels like he doesn't belong.
— he likes old R&B and rap so much oh my gosh music itself he can listen to it for hours. in fact, paris has a great voice but a lot of things has held him back from ever pursuing this talent because he's pessimistic
[spoiler=more hcs]— has a jawline that can cut you in two.
— the ocean is like, his best friend. there was a few times that he thought of suicide and just saying, if he were ever to take his life it would be underneath those ocean waves because damn beautiful man.
— be doing gay shit... doesn't be knowing it though.
— cusses a little too much but who the fuck cares??
— he seems so confident and happy and everything and everyone around him are just drawn to him but lowkey he is quite the opposite and is having trouble coping and is just mad at the world.
— he's always getting nice stuff with his paychecks because who knows how to manage money? not him that's for sure.
— mental breakdowns are his specialty.
— eats ramen noodles for breakfast lunch and dinner.
— "cash me outside how bout dat"
— if you were to put him in a room with a bunch of white people... he wouldn't know what the fuck to do.
— gonna add more sooner or later.
