Paulie Pepperoni

Paulie Pepperoni is a character in Thirlcrest Academy and is played by Tezreta. He is the second-in-command within the Greasers.
==Appearance==
Paulie is a young, lean male who stands tall at 6'2, always seen wearing the infamous brown leather which him and his Lieutenants sport. His skin is clear and a pale white, with dark brown eyes which are constantly engulfed by fresh bruises and a scar on his face. Paulie's knuckles are developed and almost seem to pierce his skin, constantly conditioned due to his rigorous training as a kickboxer.
==Characteristics==
Paulie is seen by many as a stereotypically wild and reckless member of the Greaser clique, and a charismatic and reckless student who attends Thirlcrest Academy. While it is clear he is still coming to terms with his power in the group, his personality is a mixture of youthful exuberance and the unmistakable attitude of a tough greaser, managing to climb all the way up to being Leo Piscalli's right hand man.
He is known within his small group of close friends for his mischievous sense of humor and has a reputation for his extremely fragile ego. Paulie finds joy in pushing boundaries and challenging those seen physically stronger than him, not scared to tease and defend himself from the likes of Igor Kozryev and other brutes within the school. 
Paulie is unsuprisingly sensitive when it comes to conflict that's affecting or within the clique. Loyalty runs deep in his veins, and he would go to great lengths to have the back of his fellow Greasers, even if it costs him getting damaged in the crossfire. His enthusiasm sometimes leads to impulsivity, and he might find himself in the middle of a fist-fight without fully being able to remember how he got there in the first place.
Schoolwork isn't Paulie's strong suit, and he often finds himself daydreaming during class, more interested in planning how he's going to next modify his BMX than solving algebra problems. However, he possesses a raw intelligence and a street-smart savvy that is the reason he is yet to fail his classes, applying minimal effort and getting generic results.
Despite his immaturity at times, there was always an undeniable potential for growth and leadership within him, which was why influential greasers such as his old mentor Ricky Sarculo and close-friend, now leader, Leo Piscalli, had rose him through the ranks. Paulie Pepperoni is the Greaser with a heart full of loyalty, prepared to prove himself among peers across the school that he is not to be taken as a joke.
==Character Background==
Growing up in the lower-class streets of Boston, life wasn't easy for Paulie. Raised in a working-class neighborhood, he was surrounded by the allure of the Greaser lifestyle which his older brother flaunted from a young age. His parents struggled to make ends meet, leaving him to fend for himself often once his brother left home.
Without an older brother to guide him anymore and a hunger for acceptance, Paulie fell in with the wrong crowd early on his high school years. Fighting, using contraband, and getting up to no good became a a regular occurrence for him and his parents, exhausted by Paulie's constant run-ins with the law and his lack of respect for authority, reached their breaking point, and had made the difficult decision to send him to a private educational institution in the County of Thirlcrest, New England, in hopes of straightening him out.
Surrounded by strict rules, corrupt authority, and unfamiliar faces, he struggled to find his footing. But as time passed, Paulie became acquainted with individuals such as Benny Aprile, a freshman and his first close friend who had made the suggestion that he should join the Autoshop Club due to their similar interests. While apart of the club, Paulie rediscovered a passion for mechanics, spending hours tinkering with anything he could get his hands on in the autoshop, and soon becoming a familiar face in the tight-knitted group known as the Greasers.

===Rex Dohl===
Rex and Paulie immediately clicked as soon as they met, and had been inseparable ever since. They are both each other's wingman, right-hand man, and best friend.
