Cyrus Perez

Cyrus Perez is a Varsity Football player, being the rank of All-Star [MR]. Played by thouxanbandom
==Appearance==
Cyrus at first glance is like any other Thirlcreast Academy Jock, he's more physically adapt and taller than the average student on campus - standing at 6'4 with an athletic build to accompany this height. He has ashy-black hair and hazel eyes, his skin complexion being a tan one due to his Afro-Dominican origins. He garbs himself in his Thirlcreast Varsity blues and whites, seen most times with his jersey or letterman and at times his Thirlcreast polo; he mixes this style with an alternative and Y2K additions such as rhinestone necklaces or his black gauges earrings. Cyrus also has three tattoos on his body, one on the bicep, shoulder and upper back - all in the style of Y2K-like tribal tattoos. 
==Characteristics==
Despite being a known and veteran Football player on campus, Cyrus reluctantly doesn't fit into the Jock stereotype. Cyrus is far more educated, smarter and self-conscious compared to his teammates and cheerleader counterparts. This is often shown by his speech pattern, not containing the Jock slogans or keywords used by other members such as Roy, Aaron, Ken, Spencer or Ralph. It's said by him and others who may know him outside of Varsity that he actually attends advanced courses, and Honor courses that are offer for the Honor Students normally due to his above-average GPA. 
Some may ask why he sticks around the idiots also known as the Jocks, and it's simply for the love of football and brotherhood - Cyrus comes from a single household, his biological father was an African-American male who often bounced in and out of prison; so it left a fragment of Cyrus yearning for a friendship for a while. Those who know Cyrus know his intensive loyalty, undying even in the most bleak situations, and his desire of self-improvement. Even though he still bullies, harasses and ridicules those weaker than him he thinks of it as a way to help 'build' character and 'toughen' them up - but really it's just a way to dump his anger and emotions on an innocent victim. 
==Character Background==
As said before, Cyrus' father was a Dominican male who often bounced in-and-out of jail. His mother an African-American female who still lived with her parents. It's heavily applied that Cyrus' parents had him when they were still teenagers, and Cyrus' dad going to prison for a violent charge when Cyrus was about 5 years old. With no father figure, his grandfather stepped up to take the mantle to help nurture the young boy - applying heavy Dominican values and traditionalism to Cyrus, having the boy be fluent in Spanish and the dialect at age 10. Despite this, Cyrus had a surprisedly good upbringing and childhood, his grandparents placed him in sports such as football and wrestling when he was young; explaining how Cyrus today utilizes wrestling and minor BJJ maneuvers in fights. He kept up with his Dominican family aswell, developing a tight-knitted relationship his two younger cousins who both attend Thirlcreast today, Marty and Marley McFly, the three often up to no good whenever they had family reunions. Everything was good in his life, until his mother had been seeing another man, this man becoming Cyrus' stepfather by the name of Phil. Phil and Cyrus' first interactions were often awkward, then later on the years became hostile because of Phil's remarks of Cyrus' biological father in prison. Phil's sons who were older often bullied Cyrus too for this, one day Cyrus had broken the arm of one of his sons in a kimura lock. He was sent to Thirlcreast after this.
Upon arriving to Thirlcreast Cyrus often got into fights and brawls with other delinquents in the school. But through these dark days, he had found three friends that he still associates with today - Johnny, Hunter and Thomas; joining their friend group for protection as a freshman. Though one day, Cyrus had fought a football cornerback and won but was sentenced for weeks worth of community service with Coach Bill, the football head coach. Coach Bill sensing potential in this delinquent for his height and ability of resilience brokered a deal - if Cyrus joins the football team all his charges and record will be expunge in the coming semester, but if not he'll keep it and inch closer to expulsion. He took the deal the next tryouts, Cyrus joined the team in his Sophomore year and the rest was history.
==Relationships==
===Aaron Russo===
"Timeout, dude. That scheme is confusing, run it back for me?"
- Cyrus during one of Aaron's more complexed and lackluster plans.
Aaron and Cyrus share a brotherly relationship like any other of the senior players of the football team. Cyrus is often seen beside Aaron, more so as an angel on his shoulder to direct and council him towards the right direction - but can also be the devil on Aaron's shoulder pushing his close friend to more daring waters when it comes to his leadership. 
===Roy Rianelli===
"TO HELL WITH THAT BRO! WE SPINNIN' BACK!"
- Cyrus whenever an engagement doesn't go the way of Varsity, most notably said around Roy.
Roy and Cyrus share a brotherly relationship comparable to Aaron and Ken. Both being the tallest, and most likely strongest on the Varsity football team, the two giants often work together in brawls, bullying or picking up girls [mostly on Roy's part]. There is noticeably a maturity and intelligence gap between Roy and Cyrus, this can devolve into the two having severe misunderstandments or a disconnect between the two but somehow some way it all comes together with the two. Cyrus' more belligerent responses to Roy's composure are highlights to their friendship aswell, usually being Roy being the friend to pull back a hot-headed Cyrus away from a conflict.
===Ken Birkin===
"YO BIRKIN-STOCKS! QUIT CHEATIN', BRO!"
- An average HALO game between Ken and Cyrus.
Ken was one of Cyrus' first friends when he joined the football team his Sophomore year in 2005. Together, the two have created a tight-knitted bond with each other ever since. Either fighting Varsity's rivals, bullying the nearest student or playing XBOX with each other late on school nights the two remain brothers-in-arms no matter the circumstance. 
=== Marley and Marty McFly ===
"How 'bout you two hjios stay out of trouble, aight?"
- Cyrus after helping his two younger cousins get out of trouble with either hostile students or authority.
Growing up without his father, Cyrus' grandfather often stressed the fact of safeguarding his family. His two younger cousins, Marley and Marty are the two he protects even more than his Jocks. Marley, being a Social Club dealer and Marty running around with the Bruisers can create very interest moments between the trio.
