Sticks

**Sticks, aka "sticksandstones\_", is a Minecraft player.**

## Description:

"I guess we can't always get what we want, then."

### Physical:

He has thick straight black hair, with choppy bangs- ones he cut himself- falling around his face. They cover up the top part of his eyes. On his head he has small red demon horns that stick out from his head. However, he claims these are fake- saying that they’re attacked through a black ribbon around his head. His ears, though covered up, are slightly pointed. His eyes are stormy grey- though you can find flecks of gold in them. His skin is oddly pale, and scratches and cuts can be found on his cheek, an old Band-Aid slowly beginning to fall off them.

His attire is relatively normal, with an oversized hoodie divided into deep red and black. It covers up his hands and has a large hood on the back. As well as this, he has tattered black jeans with holes on his knees. Dried blood creeps out of some of his scrapes. His shoes are deep red- similar to that of his hoodie- and are converse.

### Personality:

An introvert to the end, Sticks is a strong recluse. He cares much about his own social image, but- because he believes he will never find a good social image- he prefers not to have one at all. He’s often found hidden away in himself, completely ignoring others. He finds it difficult to make new friends and connect with others. He has a strong fear of losing those he loves and will quickly hide back in his shell when the time comes.

However, as you get to know him, you will find he cares greatly for his friends. He loves them with an undying affection, defending them to the end. Sticks will show great bravery in the face of fear if it means defending others. He’s kind-hearted and loyal.

### Skill(s):

Sticks has no revealed skills yet, though his skill with a bow is strong due to him practicing archery in the real world.

## History:

### Background:

Sticks was raised in the rich section of New York. His parents were rich business owners- actually being to co-founders of the company that created Minecraft VR, and this left him a very spoiled child. On one business trip to sell the product, his parents died in a plane crash, leaving Sticks alone.

Because of this, Sticks went to live with his grandmother, who became his legal guardian. His grandmother was loving and kind, volunteering her services and money most anywhere. Sticks resented this, though, as his grandmother was constantly too "busy" to enjoy time with him. So, on a whim, he decided to go with her on one of her trips. Ever since then, he always went out with her and realized the enjoyment and thrill of helping people.

He met Maple when he went with his grandmother to a homeless shelter, one of their many trips out into the "real world". Maddy's mother had recently passed away, and Sticks found the girl crying outside in the backyard of the building. The two had a heart-to-heart talk about their parents dyeing, the two finding similarities and friendship in each other. Sticks even volunteered to switch schools so he could be with her in public school- which he did.

### Roleplay:

Sticks is first seen fainting once he realizes he's "in" Minecraft, but quickly gets back on his feet to look for shelter from the night, along with Maple.

## Relationship(s):

### Family:

Unnamed Grandmother: Sticks loves his grandmother with his whole being and, while he'll never admit it, he enjoys the times he has spent with her when they volunteered for the needy. He's grateful to her for teaching him this important personality trait.

### Love Interest(s):

Maple: Sticks' best friend is this young girl, though he's felt for a long time as if his relationship with her were more. Often, you'll find the two falling asleep on each other's shoulder or holding hands absentmindedly- though Sticks and Maple both insist it's completely platonic. Afraid of rejection, Sticks has never admitted his feelings towards Maple to anyone, including himself. Having known Maple since they were young, he completely trusts her with everything.

## Trivia:

* His username comes from the saying "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me."
