 * Main Mode of Transportation: Subway or Bus

PSYCHOLOGY


 * Fears: Needles, and to some extent, heights (he usually isn't afraid of roller coasters, but he wouldn't be comfortable, say, looking down from the roof of a skyscraper, crossing a rope bridge, or skydiving).
 * Secrets: He cares more about what others think than he lets on. Also, when he was younger, he was beat up once or twice for being just a little too blunt.
 * Eating Habits: Although his appetite isn't as ravenous as Samson's, he does like to eat. However, his mom doesn't allow him or his brothers to indulge in junk food very often, so his diet is generally pretty healthy.
 * Food Preferences: He's not a very picky eater, but generally, he likes salty, sour, and spicy foods. However, he's not a fan of seafood or anything that's saccharine.
 * Sleeping Habits: Inconsistent, and most likely unhealthy. Thanks to the tremendous workload at school (after transferring from Millard High), he frequently pulls all-nighters, sometimes not even finishing his work until 6 AM. He makes up for this by sleeping in until almost noon on the weekends.
 * Book Preferences: Satire, thrillers, and war novels.
 * Music Preferences: Mostly 70s-style hard rock.
 * Groups or Alone: Depends on his mood.
 * Leader or Follower: Depends, but generally finds himself leading when it comes to group projects for school.
 * Planned Out or Spontaneous: Usually planned out, but can be spontaneous sometimes.
 * Journal Entries: None, unless you count the ones he's written for school assignments. He prefers keeping his thoughts in his head.
 * Hobbies, Recreation: Playing video games, cards, chess, basketball, and American handball, watching TV and war movies, drawing (sometimes), eating, and sleeping.
 * How Do They Relax: Sleeping, or playing chess/cards online, with the occasional MMO. (In contrast to Blanky, he prefers online games over console games.)
 * What Excites Them: Meeting others who share his taste in music.
 * Pet Peeves: People talking over him, ignorance, always being asked if he's Muslim, and being called an "Arab" or a "terrorist" (which I suppose ties into ignorance).
 * Attitudes: "Live and Let Live"; values genuity above all else
 * Stressors: Worrying about the future and getting a decent job.
 * Ambitions: To earn a salary of at least $80k a year doing something he likes (though, he's still not sure what it is), and to own a house, instead of living in an apartment.
 * As Seen By Others: A smart, independent kid that's generally pretty down-to-earth, but a little too blunt and sarcastic at times. Seems to be confident, as he doesn't seem fazed by what others think of him. Not very emotional.
 * As Seen By Self: Generally honest, and sort of smart, but not that high above average (especially after attending Avery High, where most of the kids are around his level of intelligence). Doesn't stand out much from others, but he's okay with that. Agreeable as long as you don't pester him too much.
