Character Information:
Character's Name: Lucas Reynolds
Age: 17
Grade: 12
Height: 5'9
Hair color: Blond
Eye color: Light Blue
Other Family Members: Alyssa(sister, 14) Maria(sister,21), David(father,44)
Personality: Lucas has become a rather upbeat person and one could probably never guess that he's been on depression medication for a few years now. He's almost always been the person he is now, which is happy, confident and nice to be around. But after the doctors forbade him from playing sports he slipped into a depressed state for a few months. It was then when he decided to attempt to end the pain with a razor blade to the underside of his arm. Although it didn't really work out for him since just a few moments after he had cut himself his father came home from work early and found him and then immediately brought him to the hospital. He actually ended up staying there for about a week or so and it was after that when the doctors decided to put him on depression medication and things have been better ever since then. Even though he can't play any spots anymore he is a regular at different sporting events and does like to offer his opinion on how a game will turn out.
Although he has drifted away from some of the friends that he had before since he felt like they wouldn't want to be around him. A few of those friends approached him though and now they're back in his group again. Still, some of them didn't stick around after he was no longer able to play the sports that he'd loved for years. It was then when he learned the true meaning of friendship. A true friend will stick by your side no matter what. After his mother died of cancer a few years ago he became more protective of his younger sister. He does worry about her ending up like him, in terms of not being able to play spots. Although he knows that it probably won't happen to her he still worries about it. The romance side of him is there but he really hasn't dated anybody. He claims that he's too busy to date but he really knows the true reason. He's actually scared to date for fear that the person will just use him.
Appearance: Lucas is somewhat of a plain person, he usually tends to wear a plain colored long sleeved shirt and a pair of jeans. He almost never wears t shirts due to the long scar on his left arm from the suicide attempt. He is ashamed about what he tried to do and doesn't like to talk about it. He isn't the tallest person in the world and probably could be considered a little on the short side. He also isn't the most muscular person in the world either since due to his knees there a great deal of things that he's been forbidden from doing. Yet, he does spend a great deal of time outside so he does have a decent tan. His hair is more of a medium blond color but his eyes are more of a light blue and he actually is rather attractive. Yet he just sees himself as a normal person and doesn't really think that he's better than anybody else in the looks department.
History: Lucas was born in this town and had a normal childhood. He played sports, and did everything that a normal child would do. Sure he sustained a few injures they were minor ones and never bothered him. He hung out with his friends, and most of them were males although he did have a few close female friends that he talked to often. When he was ten years old his mother was diagnosed with cancer and things went downhill for her quickly and just a few months after the diagnoses she died. He fell into a depressed state for a couple of weeks but his friends were there to pull him through it. Without them, he truly would have been lost and it took him a long time to adjust to his mother not being there. He knew that things were hard for his father so he never really mentioned her. Yet, he visits her grave at least once a week, even today.
Once he hit the age of thirteen or so, it seemed like every few months he'd do something to one of his knees. The doctors couldn't really pinpoint the problem and he just thought that he was slightly more injury prone then some people. Yet it was about a year later during basketball season when he knew that something was really wrong. His knees hurt, and it wasn't just an off and on thing they constantly bothered him. He just thought that it was because of the times he ended up meeting the floor during basketball. Although people had encouraged him to tell somebody about it he never did. When people asked him about it he denied the problem, but it was too hard to ignore. Things started to go downhill rapidly and it came to a point where he'd end up taking a painkiller every couple of hours. It was during a basketball game that things just fell apart, he felt something give out and a few moments later he was on the ground and unable to get up. Everything that happened after that is still a blur to him today. He can remember going to the hospital and being told that he had severe arthritis in his knees and that it was a miracle that he had made it this long without really hurting himself. They forbade him from playing any strenuous sport, permanently.
This made his life fall apart, and he fell into a deep depression. He wouldn't talk to anybody and spent most of the time up in his room. It was a few months after this that he decided to end it all by taking his life. He saw the razor blade and then cut himself, then his father came in and brought him to the hospital.
After being put on depression medication he's never looked back which leads you to the person he is today.
