~::{ Craig Allan Crawford }::~ Fifthteen:|:Carefree:|: x :Free-spirited:|:Loyal ~Friendships; Being a person that neither outright avoids social interaction, but neither does he actively seek them, the fact that it takes some considerable effort for Craig to name anyone a friend is not surprising. Given his history of mental abuse, he's always wary of others and always tries to gauge their motives. Becoming considered as a friend can involve some amount of work, not just for the other person but also for Craig himself. Once you gained his friendship however it takes a lot for one to lose it. ~Loveships; [/b][/size][/right] If becoming his friend wasn’t hard enough, getting involved in a relationship with him should be damn near impossible. Well truthfully it’s easier to gain his love; provided you’ve already crossed the friendship hurdle, that’s a requirement as he’s not into one-night stands. The reason is that he gets easily attached to people he ends up trusting, for good or ill. Once you’ve managed to gain his love however the caring, patient and fun-loving aspects of his personality becomes more apparent than the usually quiet withdrawn type.
Even if he’s exceptionally loyal to his friends, this is truer in terms of a loved one; he's highly protective of them. He’s been aware of his homosexual preference for a long time, so he’s not the angsty fresh out of the closet type. ~Hateships;[/b][/i] Given his solitary tendencies and his perchance of avoiding people and sometimes outright not responding to them when they address him. Many would naturally denounce as a rude or aloof, but in reality the last thing Craig would do is gain enemies, he doesn't intentionally get on the bad side of people, but sometimes his social awkwardness cause him to make mistakes. His blunt honesty doesn't exactly help.
The only people he has any sort of hatred towards is his family but that can’t really be considered hatred.
Even so he doesn't tolerate bullies in any shape or form however he wouldn't be the first to stand up against them; preferring to shirk and avoid any kind of conflict unless it becomes personal in some form or another, like a friend or loved one is harassed. ~Otherships; [/i][/b][/right] Craig is quite content at the Academy and actually dreads someday having to leave, as truthfully he has nowhere else to go. No home to return to, no family waiting for him, no nothing. The Academy provides him with a stability and security he's lacked all his life.
In that vein though any kinds of plots are always welcome, I don't really have any set ideas right now.

-----------------------------craig & fox hello hello! not to scare you away before we've even started, but i saw you're app a while ago and i've been waiting for this. O.O lol but honestly, i think these two would be uh-mayzing friends. they're like the same person. sort of. i can just imagine them playing all of the pranks. they might not be the best influences on each other, but i'm pretty sure fox would have the biggest friend-crush on craig ever.

i'd love to thread any of these, so if you'd like some threads just tell me~ <3 nell nell is an earth graduate, and i always love to throw her out for plots. i figured they could meet by him pulling a harmless prank and her just laughing and they could hit it off? because they would get along swimmingly. she doesn't mind being friends with high schoolers (even though she's twenty and could be classified as creepy). but she's really outgoing and friendly and yeah... friends? xD oh, she'd also be interested in his origins because she's half-hispanic (her father's from spain) and she's an immigrant. annddd she's very crafty and good with survival skills and all that, as well. common ground~
altair altair is a fire graduate, and normally i wouldn't throw her out to high schoolers, but since he hates bullies, she could be considered one being how violent she is. i imagine she would act out physically, too, just to show how much stronger than him she is. she's just a straight bitch, ngl. mona mona is a tenth grade thunder. her mother recently died and she's not doing so good right now. she's also a bitch, and could be classified as a bully. these two will not get along. how does he respond to someone bullying him? because i see her just being irritated by him all the time. (nothing really personal, she's irritated by everyone) if he stands up to her, that could just spur her on more. and probably will end up being fun. but no matter what, my bb will definitely not be liking yours. poor boy. israel issy is the twelfth grade wind leader. these two might be a little...difficult to maneuver, since they're both so solitary. but issy can be a good friend, and he's a sweetheart, it all just depends on circumstance. if you've got any ideas, just hit me up.

Rachael and Craig: Rachael is my senior fore graduate. Due to age and the elemental alliance I don't really see much being plotted here.
Jessie and Craig: Would Craig be interested in taken an art class? This is going to be Jessie's first year teaching at the Academy and she is eccentric, outgoing, and pretty passionate about her craft. She's just come back to Canada from England (her native lands) and is excited to start this new temporary journey.
Hunter and Craig: We've already started a thread for these two, but with the way it's going I think Craig has made it to the top of Hunter's shit list. I expect now every time Hunter sees Craig around the campus he might get pissed off and raise a little hell for your boy. So far Hunter has quite a few friends within the Fire/Thunder alliance that might e willing to join in one the teasing/rough housing. Craig is bringing out the frustrated bully in Hunter lol. It's nice to see something finally ruffle Hunter's feathers for once. (Poor Craig)

josh&craig.CLICK FOR BIO. They're both slow to trust people and all that so I had a bit of an idea for these two! Since he's got problems with Math, maybe Josh could end up becoming his go-to guy if he needed help with an assignment or something? Josh loves Math the crazy fucker, I hate Math and he's really good at it so they could have that, if you'd like. He's pretty friendly with a lot of his old teachers and professors so maybe if his Math teacher noticed he needed help, he could refer him to Josh? Just an idea! Cause I'd really like to get something between these two and it would be cute if they eventually built up a trust based on it and shit. /endramble
caterina&craig.CLICK FOR BIO. Would he take a drama/theatre class? And if so, would he be good at it?
annabel&craig.CLICK FOR BIO. They're in the same element so I think they could get along great! She'd totally be willing to help him out with a prank. And, actually, if we wanted to go with the tutoring type of relationship with Josh, Annabel is his sister so she could introduce them if they were friends. She doesn't like Math and would sympathise. Anyway, partners in crime and buddies and all that good stuff? <3
I'm willing to thread with any of my characters! We can do more than one thread, just one, none -- all up to you!

Ooh, so many people <3
---------------
Fox;
Heheh no worries! They sound like they’d get along famously, almost like two birds of a feather xD I can so see them meeting over a prank, even trying to pull a prank on the same person and one steals the other’s prank or something lol
---------------
Nell;
Aws, Nell sounds nice! And yea I could see them meet over something like that. Craig always ensures that his pranks are harmless fun; he never does pranks that hurt anyone physically or mentally(beyond the harmless scare)… even if they sometimes can get a bit out of hand, but that was usually never part of the initial plan.
Altair;
Despite being the stronger element in that relationship I think Craig would actually slightly fear Altair, more than anything. Given he shies conflict and what not, and coupled with her violent behavior she’d scare him. In truth without his elemental martial training he’s practically defenseless lol He can marginally defend himself but as said despite this Altair would be the stronger one, and if she wants to have a go at him she’s free too, decides his pranks although harmless could net him a punch or two xD
Mona;
Now this sounds like fun! He’s already ruffled the feathers of one thunder, and yea he does respond to someone bullying him at least the verbal bullying if it starts getting physical he’d of course try to defend himself but as mentioned with Altair beyond using his element for protection (against a thunder that wouldn’t really do any good anyways) he’s practically defenseless, he knows no martial art, no nothing. In that respect he’s a bit of a pushover. But yea he’d stand up to verbal bullying lol
Israel;
Hrm, this one seems a little tricky, if I come up with something for them I’ll shoot you a line c:
---------------
Rachel;
Hrm no, I can’t see much plottage here I am afraid :c
Jessie:
Well he would I suppose but, he can’t draw anything other than stick figures lol Even so he’s always had an appreciation for art, or indeed anything artistic; he’s more of a musician himself.
Hunter;
I am actually enjoying our little thread, Craig is a little intimidated by Hunter but that’s just natural lol But if you want to give Hunter someone to take out his frustration on Craig is ripe for it c:
---------------
Josh;
Now this sounds interesting! Well helping Craig with math is going to take some time as Craig literally can’t compute anything beyond more advanced than 2x10 His brain just can’t comprehend it, dyscalculia is something I am rather familiar with. The way it works is kind of strange almost like you’re getting a brain melt over the issues and no matter how hard you try the answer never comes to you, or it’s the wrong answer lol But helping him at least to try survive that subject, yea sure Craig would greatly appreciate it.
Caterina;
Well actually I think this could be something for him, he plays an instrument and can sing and all that but I think drama would be right up his alley. So yes I think he would c: He could be proficient at it, or well, as well any amateur that is as he’s not really done it extensively before; the odd play while in elementary school and all that.
Annabel;
That sounds like a good spring board towards the whole thingy with Josh, Craig could use some friends having spent these first two school years practically alone lol Yea I can totally see them getting along :3

josh&craig.CLICK FOR BIO. Oh, I figured it was something like that, that's why Josh would be so willing to help! Like, if he knew it was near impossible but that Craig would need it to pass, he'd do his best to give the poor guy whatever he could. Also even though he'd NEVER admit it, Josh can't swim either. They're bros in that sense >> I think these two would be really awesome! Should we thread them? <3 If, of course, you're cool with what I say about Annabel and with saying that they're already acquainted.
caterina&craig.CLICK FOR BIO. Ooh, she likes anyone who at least makes an effort and she likes them even better if they get good at it. She'd totally give him good marks in her class if he deserved them and all that.
annabel&craig.CLICK FOR BIO. They could be friends from a previous year (or even just near the end of last year) so we could skip the meeting thread and jump right into a friendship if we wanted? They can totally be amazing friends and prank buddies and we could have a thread and all that good stuff!
I'm willing to thread with any of my characters! We can do more than one thread, just one, none -- all up to you!

-----------------------------craig & fox sweet. fox might get a little insecure at first that someone was all up in his prank territory, but he'd never show it and definitely get over it pretty quickly. they'd just be the best of friends. so meeting thread or something where they already know each other?

Annabel;
I kind of liked the whole thing with Annabel introducing Craig to Josh after learning about his math issue, and them already being friends from a previous year is great! It would fit well into getting that thing with Josh and get the ball rolling there and have continuity between the threads :3 Craig’s pretty secret with his math issue as he does good for himself in just about every other subjects(the only things he excels in are history, music, and maybe drama depending on how things go with the teacher there), the whole math thing is giving him stress and such, always afraid he won’t pass the class and what have you.
But since he does so well he’s so far thought that if he excels at these other things math can sail its own sea… unfortunately he’s come to realize this is not the case and he needs help; but he doesn’t know where to go, poor kid.
Josh;
See Annabel for potential plot progression idea
Caterina;
He will put some effort into drama you can count on that. Initially I planned that it could be something he took just to add necessary hours onto his time table. But perhaps he’ll grow to like it and find that he’s not bad at it as he thinks? :3 Plus being able to sing is a great boots in terms of theater stage acting, well he’s not a professionally trained singer or musician but yeah.
--------------------
Fox;
It’s fine if they already know each other, I can imagine two pranksters one would be aware of the other. Though I can imagine Fox has more of a reputation than Craig does xP So a ‘already acquainted’ thread would be cool :3

[ nell she's a cutie~ and so is crow. and they are adorbs together. but yeah, she really gravitates towards water because of their fun-loving nature. and she'd encourage his pranks, so long as no one is in danger. and she will be like the annoying big sister asking about his relationships and what's up with school, but definitely nicer. we could start off with these two, orrr....
altair altair approves of his fear and hopes to encourage it. which is a bad sign for crow. so if you ever want confrontation, we can thread these two out for a fight. she's very vicious. mona we can definitely have verbal bullying, then. she gets real mean with her words, and i enjoy that. which makes me horrible, but... yeah. she would piss him off one way or another.

josh&craig.CLICK FOR BIO. Ooh, I like! Annabel would find out then go to her brother like, "Hey, you're good at Math, right Josh? >> I have this friend..." And maybe she can bring Craig over to the mansion some time and then introduce Craig to her bro? Either that or she could suggest that Craig go to the medical wing and ask for Josh or the two of them (Josh and Craig) can arrange to meet in the library or something. Anything sounds good to me, but yeah! See Annabel for more:
caterina&craig.CLICK FOR BIO. That could work! I like this idea! :D
annabel&craig.CLICK FOR BIO. Will we thread with Belle first, maybe with them doing Math homework at her house or in the library or the dorms or something? Then she can find out about his thing with Math and either suggest she ask her brother or she can go to Josh first and Craig later? (Either way, I'd love to thread!)
I'm willing to thread with any of my characters! We can do more than one thread, just one, none -- all up to you!

Nell;
She sounds like a good start c: Something nice, fun, and peaceful, I am in a thread where he’s kind of getting his ass handed to him by Hunter xD So one fight is enough for now, but I’d be willing to have either Mona or Altair have a go at him in the future >:3 ---------------
Annabel;
The whole starting with homework in the library sounds really nice, or the dorms if you prefer those but Craig usually does his homework in library, the dorms are like his room/private sphere… what have you. Given he lives at the Academy, he doesn’t have a home outside of it. And she could pitch him towards Josh later on

nell woo, awesome. we can start these off as having already known each other? maybe he can tell her about hunter and she can be like "that kid" because he basically uses her for paraphernalia. we can thread them anywhere, but if you have a preference just say. <3

Post by crow on Dec 3, 2012 7:40:52 GMT -5
Fox;
We could always open a thread now if you like c: You can choose the place ^^ Craig gets around, more or less.
Nell;
Yea starting them off as already knowing each other is fine : D He kind of asked for it concerning Hunter… sort of lol. But yea he could tell her about it c: Anywhere is fine; Craig spends most of his off time either in the Academy library or somewhere close to the forest or any wild place, like the lake or the caves or what have you. He rarely, if ever visits the nearby town unless he has to for some reason or another. <3
