## Physical description

### Eye color

Brown

Conrad Everett Marchetti is one of the (only shipped) characters in the (shipping) roleplay, Cupid Academy. This is why he has a page. Although he prefers to be called 'Conrad' he also answers to names such as Toe Boy and Aragosta (Lobster) (generally only by Nat and Maddie.) He's defined as androflexible, breaking his typical liking-masculine-presenting-folks in Cupid with Claire Sterling.

## Appearance

Conrad has naturally brown and slightly curled hair, although he recently has dyed to a light pink. He has dark brown eyes and a wide and rather faoe looking smile. He always seems to appear slightly dead inside, probably because he is slightly dead inside. He generally doesn't wear anything other than sweatshirts and sweatpants, and has a few freckles on his lightly tanmed skin. He's described multiple times to have a mischievous twinkle in his eyes.

## Personality

Conrad has a tendency to be brutally honest- and although it sounds rather cliche he does not think about what others think about him. It’s not like he needs to impress people with his smiles and kindness to be a mechanic or something. He doesn’t like abiding by social norms- finding many things conforming and unnatural. He’s often late, doesn’t care enough to do any type of work, and would much rather have not gone to this place. He doesn’t need to impress people. And therefore he does not need love. Or… so he believes.

Conrad enjoys making jokes that make people uncomfortable- specifically when things are already awkward. He’s the type of person to make smooching noises in the background as two people who clearly like each other have finally worked up the courage to talk about it. He hates getting involved in anything that he’s emotionally attached to- not because he has this trauma that makes him afraid of losing someone in a relationship- just because he doesn’t understand why he feels things. Most of the time he’s a void. When he’s not, it can be quite unsettling.

Conrad’s smart, but he does not apply himself. Again, who does he have to impress? Even his parents can’t make him do anything unless they do something drastic. It’s like he has no sense of how he’s supposed to feel, what he’s supposed to be like. He’s very out of pocket. But he still has friends. He’s not antisocial, in fact, he’s quite social! Just a… different type of social. Because when you don’t care what someone else thinks, you get deeper and more fun questions. It also makes other people mad occasionally- which is fine by him, it’s just something that happens.

## Backstory

Conrad grew up in a half English speaking half Italian speaking household- the type where you will mostly speak english and then when it gets heated or you have guests and don’t want them knowing what you’re talking about you switch languages. He has a younger sister and that’s it. They used to have a cat, but it died and he wasn’t very sad (when he mentioned it his sister didn’t talk to him for a week.) Not that he really cared, she’s overdramatic, soft and annoying.

His parents were waiting for him to want to do something reasonable- have a goal in mind and try to achieve it. A hobby, or a passion. His responses: Hobby? Youtube. Passion? Fruit. Hotel? Trivago. He wants to be a mechanic because it’s quick and he can pick it up, it won’t require college and he can jump straight into it. Not go to school for 10 years to make barely above minimum wage as a middle school teacher. No way.

His parents get exasperated with him quite easily, and it didn’t take them long to decide that they needed to do something. They basically said, ‘if you don’t go to the Cupid Academy and do something about your mess of a life, we’re going to send you to live with your aunts in Italy.’ Of course, at first he didn’t believe them, and just laughed. Until he realized that his parents were starting to package all his stuff. Then he enrolled as quickly as possible- not going to let his stuff just get sent away like that. Suddenly the quick and easy fix thing wasn’t so easy. He’ll live… right? It’ll be fine… right? He’ll just make fun of all the lovebirds and hope his mobile data doesn’t run out.
