"Please, put them out of /MY/ misery, would you?" - Simon ordering his Preps to attack a pauper.
Simon Sharpe, commonly referred to by his last name, is a member of The Honor Students as an [HR] Aristocrat in Thirlcrest Academy.
== Appearance ==
Simon stands tall at 6'2, with flowing blonde hair and piercing blue eyes that lead him to consider himself nearly perfect. Simon keeps his hair parted and "Elegantly disheveled" on the right side, allowing his bangs to flow forward freely. 
Simon is often seen sporting the blazer given to Aristocrats, often forgoing a tie if he wishes to be less formal. A man of propriety, he scarcely wears jewelry or any other "gauche accoutrements" and prefers to keep a simple, yet dignified appearance.
== Family Background ==
Simon comes from a distinguished and well-off family. The family, Sharparelli, traces its origins to Northern Italy, boasting the ability to trace its lineage to the Romans who inhabited the area. Though well-off in their own right, a distant cousin of the main family was cheated of his inheritance and sought to live in America for a fresh beginning. The Sharparelli family in America, having nothing to its name, became frontiersmen and explorers. 
William Sharpe anglicised the family name in hopes of fitting in better with the predominant Anglo-Saxon culture, and through his land acquisitions he met a talented surveyor by the name of George Washington. Becoming fast friends, William served with Washington in the Colonial Military, eventually attaining the role of Brevet Brigadier General during the Revolutionary War.
Excerpt from “The King of Cool: How Johnny Sharpe Captured A Generation”
John “Johnny” Sharpe was born, who quickly proved to be a rebellious teenager with a fascination for the blues and jazz. A talented young man, Johnny was soon to be part of the upcoming generation of Rock ‘N Roll musicians, garnering a large fanbase and collaborating with big names such as Elvis Presley, for a time being the front man of the now-classic band “Johnny Sharpe and the Rockin’ Razors”
The devastation to Rock ‘N Roll that was The Beatles swept the nation in the 1960’s, and Johnny took his talents to venues in Las Vegas, becoming a mainstay in the glamorous arenas. 
Unlike his contemporaries, Johnny didn’t spend his earnings frivolously, and a willingness to tour Europe (Unlike Elvis) contributed to a wider fanbase across the globe, with all the money that comes with that. Thus Johnny was able to use his money to invest in his own record label that still operates to this day, and the rest was history. 
Excerpt ended
Johnny’s son, William, was of a more traditional bent. Eschewing the working class appeal of his father and preferring to manage the record company in the same cutthroat manner as his contemporaries. Johnny was unhappy with this and tried to put an end to it, leading to his ouster from the company spearheaded by his own son. Heartbroken, Johnny retired to his mansion in upstate New York, being described as a kind but solitary man by his neighbours.
== Characteristics ==
=== "You can't build a house out of kindness, you can't buy a yacht with empathy, and you damn sure can't run a business with compassion. You'd do well to remember that, boy." ===
William Sharpe raised Simon with high expectations and was quick to discipline his heir in case he failed to live up to them, leading to a professional relationship between the two as Simon does not address his father by anything other than "Sir". From a young age, Simon was taught to be ruthless and pitiless, as his father didn't see the value of empathy.
Though Simon's grandfather was seeking to mend the errors he had made with William, and already being a charitable and philanthropic man, taught Simon his values of empathy and kindness in hopes the boy would adopt them as his own.
What resulted was the two competing ideologies, through much inner conflict, blending with one another to allow Simon to be both ruthless but merciful, both detached and compassionate, and both condescending and caring. All depending on the requirement of the situation, a repertoire of traits Simon considers useful as he navigates the world and Academy.
