Hair Style: Shaggy and unkept but clean; bangs get wispy at the end and hang over his forehead, some strands hanging below his eyes, but not in front of them.

Eye Colour: Grey-ish-Blue

Body Shape: rectangl-ish

Shoulders: Broad

Waist: I mean he's a dude so he's not that curvy; I guess the same as like the width of his lower ribcage

Hips: The same width as his waist; sharp hip bones

Breast Size/Chest: Erm, again he's a dude but I get he has a small mass of chest muscles

Lip Shape: thin; his upper lip looks slightly bigger because he has a slight overbite, and sticks out just a tad but further than the lower lip. His lips aren't at all like "Kylie Jenner's", but they aren't "lifeless". They're also a shade of light pink.

Right Handed or Left Handed?: Right handed.

Scars: a tiny scratch on the left side of his face, right under the temple from a cello's sharpened endpin.

Normal Mood: uncaring; neutral or slightly satisfied at something.

Good Habits: eats healthy; is committed to what he wants to accomplish or get done.

Bad Habits: None really besides how he strives to do everything alone, like get out of partner work in class or projects where you must be paired up with someone.

Strengths: Cello, studies

Weaknesses: peer social skills (he's fine with other people, just not the kids at school.)

Likes: Cello, music, solitude, math

Dislikes: parties, interaction, animals, nature

Fears: His future being controlled.

Why?: Solo has always been a "solo-player". (Hence his name.) He's been alone a lot in his life, because early on he had to provide for his family, which he's an only child of. His work prevented him from being around other kids. Another reason he was alone is because he took up the cello at a young age, and even though his private school is the only school in counties around that have an orchestra, there are no other cellos. So he plays alone. But he feels tied down by the weight of having to already work for the world around him, and hopes that one day he can be free.

Soft Spot: Young kids that have a passion for music. His job now is working at a music studio, repairing instruments. He never admits that he likes to watch the kids come out of their lessons happy and smiling because of their accomplishments. However he isn't a teacher because he felt that he wouldn't be a good one.

Favourite Clothing Brand: he doesn't really care... Anything with comfy hoodies

Items of clothing usually worn: hoodies and nice jeans. His hoodies have "Solo" written on the back in different fonts, and it's all he really ever wears.

Accessories: he wears a necklace with a Bass Clef on it- (the musical range of the placement of notes for a cello.)

Make-Up: None

Perfume: None

Mother: Gina Polly Valan

Father: Cory Timothy Valan

Brother: None

Sister: None

Any Other Relatives?: Auntie Alice and Grandma Olivia

Pet: None

Best Friend: Probably Kenny Tucker, but he's not a peer- more information later on-

Friends: No one he considers, but people have a mutual respect and like for him

Rivals: None

Enemies: Keith- (Second chair violinist, he's a douche)

Love Interest: In his story, a new girl had just transferred to his school, just because of their orchestra program. Her name is Anaadee Holly Quedins, and she's a cello, so he's forced to be teamed up with someone. He's no longer the "Solo" cellist, and he learns there more to life than being free from people in a chosen loneliness. So she, will become his love interest.

Life Story: Solo was born as "Stiv", to his mother and father, in a poor part of town. They are supportive parents, and they try very hard, but they were poor as kids also, and didn't have any money or enough brains to get into college and get a degree. So they work minimal wage jobs, and because Solo started the cello at the age of 4, and wanted to go to the private school where they had an orchestra program, and his parents couldn't deny him the opportunity as long as he promised to study hard, they always struggled with money.

Birth town: Undecided.

Favourite Childhood memory: His mother and father being so proud at his progression of the cello

Worst Childhood memory: His father getting drunk to wash his worries away and then getting enraged and breaking things, causing his mother to be very depressed and stressed.

*(A solo is when one person plays. A Soli is when the section plays.)

Life Story: Solo had to ride a bus to get to his private school. It was a 30 minute ride to the square. At school, he studied hard and got the highest marks. He managed to do extra credit, and never had late work. During study hall, he practiced his cello. In orchestra, it turned out there hadn't been a cello in years, and it had been an all violin-viola orchestra. With Solo, he got his own third of the room, and was his own section. Whenever there was a cello part in a song, it was only him. So where it was a "Soli", it was a "Solo". And that's where he got his name. And he being basically a prodigy, loved being the only one. And his teacher loved him, and the students were never not amazed of his skill. 

He also got a job when he turned 13, at a music studio, being the apprentice to an instrument repairer, Kenny Tucker. Kenny loved him like a son. Kenny understood Solo's life with his family, and let him do homework and practice cello on duty when there wasn't much work to be done.

Solo's schedule was like this:

5:30am-6:10am= wake up and get ready

6:15am-6:45am= bus ride

7:00am-2:30pm= school

3:00pm-9:00pm= work (Kenny provided snacks and lunch)

9:10pm-9:40pm= bus ride home

9:40pm-11:30pm= homework/cello practice

11:30pm-11:45pm= get ready for bed

11:45pm-12:00am= lights out

12:00am-5:30am= sleep

However, when Solo turned 16, he was officially an employed instrument repairer, and needed more hours to provide for his family and school. So, his schedule turned into this:

4:00am-4:30am= wake up and get ready

4:30am-5:00am= bus ride

5:00am-6:30am= work

7:00am-2:30pm= school

3:00pm-10:30pm= work

10:45pm-11:15pm= bus ride home

11:15pm-12:45am= homework/cello practice

12:45am-1:00am= get ready for bed

1:00am-1:15am= lights out

1:15am-4:00am= sleep

So no time for anything else. Just work, school, cello, sleep. No friends or activities.

Then, senior year, it was same old, same old. He was getting viewed from many colleges. He was getting scholarship offers. He was reveling in being the "Solo", the "Prodigy" in his school as the only cellist, who was amazing beyond compare.

Kenny Tucker was still basically his best friend, and his parents were still supportive. But one day, when he walked into orchestra, there was someone in his seat. It was a girl named Anaadee Holly Quedins, a transfer student. She moved schools specifically for the orchestra program. She was bullied in her old school for playing the cello, her glasses broken and her freckled cheeks bruised. You could tell from the scars on her arms that she had it tough in her own mind, too. She also came from a poor family, and moving and getting her enrolled was risky. Being poor was one of the reasons she couldn't get new glasses. But she was very kind and perky. At first, Solo hated her. Stealing his position. Taking away his identity. The one thing he was proud of. He hated the idea of playing with someone else, having to hear another source of sound other than his own. He thought that she wouldn't be that good. But she too, turned out to be a prodigy, stealing the spotlight from him, and even then, taking away an actual solo part in a song.

But in time, he learned to accept her, and then become friends with her, and with their luck, she worked at the same music studio as him, only as a teacher to kids who wanted to play the piano or guitar. She loved the kids, and he had soft spot for stuff like that. 

In the end, besides falling in love, they decide they want to do something special together before they part ways, and produce a piece together, a cello duet. Their song is praised, and Solo, who Anaadee calls by his actual name, Stiv, goes to college to be a music producer. Anaadee, goes to college to be a music teacher. And all those sweatshirts that Solo has with "Solo" on the back, Anaadee stitched over the "O" with an "I", meaning that he played with his section; her.

One word the character would use to describe self: Determined.

One paragraph description of how the character would describe self: Solo: I know I can do anything music related. I like being alone, I operate better that way. I can think better on my own, and I can go faster and more efficient without the distraction of others. I'm a cello prodigy. But I guess personality wise I'm a naturally uncaring person.
