Julian Ronkowski
The Dancer

Personality

Julian is a quiet boy, not sure how to connect to the people around him. Polite, he's often dubbed boring and antisocial. However, he's quite cynical and pessimistic and can often be cruel to the people whenever place in a bad mood. He hates control, though, and would rather be left alone than be around people who tries to place restrictions on him. However, he struggles to separate himself from perfection and doing something for fun, often become caught up in an area and forgets to actually enjoy himself. He's also quite immune to pain and his tolerance is quite high.
Despite this, he's also quite proper, enjoying dressing up in suits and enjoying the finer things in life and struggles to be colloquial due to rarely being around people his own age, spending the past seven years around adults and being forced to compete, and see them as the enemy, with his fellow teenagers. However, he spent his minimal free time on trashy romance novels, soaking in everything they contained and so he could be described as a hopeless romantic and often dreams of having a 'cheesy' romance one day. Dreamy and idealistic, he struggles to accept reality and can often become highly emotional when angry.

History

Julian was born to a poor family in a small town in the Island of Hermes, Ida to be exact, and was the youngest of the three. Brushed aside by his older siblings, he was often left playing and teaching himself as both of his parents were busy with work or his siblings. At school, he wasn't popular, he had a few friends, but they weren't close. Julian was lonely by himself but he was use to it. However, he had watched a few videos of dance and fell in love. Practising ballet whenever he could, in secret, for years. Soon, though, his talents became noticed by his mother.
His mother, though protective and loving, was also ambitious and desired more from life than what they were given. Given as in a three room house that was more or less falling apart, she wanted more food, she wanted diamonds, she wanted to live a life of luxury. She didn't care who she through under the bus to get there-including her own children. If she had to sacrifice one sons freedom to provide for her other two and herself then so be it. So she harnessed the dancing, grooming Julian until she offered him to a dancing organisation. By the time Julian was nine, he was performing and the lead dancer. When he was ten, he was sponsored and began to be known as a child prodigy. When he was twelve, he had already performed in front of the Empress and a multitude of councillors. However, Julian was restricted. Every minute of his life controlled and strung by agents and directors. Though he dragged his family out of poverty, he later claims that he lost his soul as a price.
When he was eleven, his family adopted a girl. Cameron was her name. He learnt that her family had died and she was without a family. His mother had decided to adopt for the publicity, attempting to make the family appear as good samaritans. Though they initially got on the wrong foot, with Cameron often acting out and keeping them all at arms length, she eventually walks into a scene where his mother hit him for speaking back to her.
On the other hand, behind the scenes of the performances, Julian was pushed to be the best. His teacher, though Julian eventually comes to respect him, abused Julian and pushed him to his breaking point. Often forcing inhumane practise hours, forcing him to starve himself in order to reach that perfect image of a dancer, and force him to keep moving even when Julian injures himself, once even breaking his ankle but was forced to keep dancing. As a consequence, Julian often broke his toes or found his shoes soaked in blood and in the long term, he's often be prone to not even noticing it when he gets injured.
When he was sixteen, he was performing in front of a large crowd in Central City. He was the lead, naturally, and it should have been a standard performance except he broke his ankle in the middle of it, crashing onto the ground. Afterwards, though the public was sympathetic, the dancing company was furious, accusing him of ruining their image. His mother scorned him and something in Julian just...snapped. He left in the middle of the night, deciding to go to another dancer who he knew by face but never really crossed paths. Hiding away in IIYM's dormitory for a little bit, he was eventually allowed to emancipate from his parents and was enrolled into IIYM. Leaving dance, he swore to himself that he wouldn't pick it up again but is now struggling to find himself and his own identity, having been so engrossed with his dancing career, he is unsure of who he is outside of it but is excited to find out.
