Be sure and include their relationship with parents and any siblings.</strong>Mom. Cj grew up an only child with his father dying while he was too young to remember his face. Times were never great, Cj’s mother was not able to provide for a lot of the extras that his friends often had. His sneakers were often knock offs, that he would claim were just manufacturing defects. He never managed to get his hands on a gaming console and he certainly wasn;t able to tag along on a lot of the expensive trips some of his friends managed. Cj found himself trying to support his mother, often trying to fix things around the house and take care of the yard work that their small rented yard required.<br/><br/>Despite his mother’s struggles keeping them financially stable she still thought it was important to take him to church constantly, to the point the congregation became like a second family to him. Pastor James especially became like a father to him, encouraging him to play sports even attending pretty much every game. When his mom worked late nights Pastor James often had projects around the church to ‘keep him out of trouble’.<br/><br/>When he was around fourteen his mother brought home a new guy. For numerous reason Cj was not overly fond of the man nor his aggressive and drunken outbursts. This created a bit of a rift between his mother and himself. He started to become one of those kids that was always trying to sleep over at friends house or participated in the lock ins the youth groups would provide. The pastor noticed what was going on and tried to defend the would be father in law for acting out of burens given to him by god. The prayers that followed the revelation did not stabilize him home but the xbox that was gifted to him by his step father didn’t hurt. It gave Cj something else to focus on besides the arguments he got into with his toxic step father.<br/><br/>Over the last few years he stopped viewing his mother’s rented townhouse as his home despite housing his collection of knock off apparel there and out of date video games.<br/><br/><strong>Describe your character's school-life. Are they doing well? What is their relationship like with their teachers and peers?</strong><br/><br/>Cj is well known in school, mostly for being an above average running back. He often surrounded himself with others from the team, hanging out in the hallways between classes. It's normally noted that he doesn't participate as much in the bullying as the others do but he is just as much of a show off. Who wouldn't be, having gone to state twice now?<br/><br/>In class Cj is less of the man. A lot of subjects just do not click for him. He's coasted on the minimum C average required to play football. He's spent several nights at the end of a semester cramming for a test of begging one of his friends to tutor him.<br/><br/>Still, he is well behaved for a football player only occasionally making a joke or encouraging one of the other guys.<br/><br/><strong>Describe your character's relationship to the stuffed animal that they brought. How did they acquire it? Did they want to bring it? Are they proud to show it, embarrassed to have it, or something else?</strong>It was the stuffed animal his father got him before he died. CJ has had a relationship with it that mirrors his own digesting of his father’s death. He normally says he doesn’t need it, like he doesn’t need his father. But on occasion it is the only thing that comforts him.<br/><br/>He did not intend to bring it, his mother packed it to help with his occasional nightmares and he certainly is not proud to show it. Until it awakens it was likely hidden somewhere that others couldn’t see it or stumble upon it.<br/><br/><strong>What is one thing will make your character most home-sick while they are away?</strong><em>Food. He’s a surprisingly picky eater and has a great love for his mother’s cooking. Well that and the type of chicken nuggets you can put in the microwave.</em><br/><strong>What is one thing will your character be happiest to hopefully 'leave behind' while they are away?</strong><em>His step-father. The man is constantly yelling at his mother or Cj himself for the smallest of things. If the smell of alcohol was not enough. This has caused self-esteem issues in Cj for not being man enough and more issues between him and his mother for allowing this man to go between them. He even stopped bringing his girlfriend around because his step father gave her the creeps.</em><br/><strong>What is your character's favorite campfire story and why?</strong>The slit mouthed woman because it is one that doesn't scare him as much as the others, mostly because he’s heard it so many times.
