CLIQUE Substance Abuse
SUB CLIQUE Party Kid
DESCRPTION
Asa’s most unmistakable feature is his abnormal height, which is why he habitually stands and walks slightly slouched. That “unmistakable” feature has gotten him caught shoplifting, and noticed by “less than favorable” people, aside that he gets the brunt of complaints from much, much shorter friends about their own sizes. He also blames his height for his lack of ability to gain, or appear to gain any weight. Though he is a fan of greasy and unhealthy food, he remains what he considers “skeletal and lanky.” He has never considered the possibility of drug induced “anorexia.” Like the rest of him, Asa’s face is long and thin, with his cheeks slightly sunken from his drug abuse and his eyes half hooded and generally distant.
Asa’s ideal dress matches his musical tastes. If he could make everything he wore out of vinyl and leather he would be eternally content, so he wears what of those materials he can find. Too, he tries to make his hair match the fabric, so he drowns it in gell to make it glisten. Oftentimes he does his shopping around Halloween, which is when he found his beloved vinyl trench coat. Horribly worn as it is now, he refuses to give it up, at least until he finds one just the same. Otherwise he sticks to black and band t-shirts. For having no job, Asa generally has clothes in good condition, since he is a fairly decent thief.

OVERALL PERSONALITY[/b]
;Cynical
Asa, for the most part, lacks faith in the greater good of mankind, putting emphasis on his own experiences to pass judgment. When people try to show kindness towards him or when he is told about a potential good deed he is likely to brush it off with a callous remark, always reminding people of his reasons why. This aspect of him can sometimes offend people, especially those used to or expecting to be praised. Praise from Asa comes with time and usually at a price: something he expects one to do and upon completion reaches his “satisfactory” standards.
;Flirtatious
This is a forced habit he formed upon coming to the realization he was homosexual. He forcibly puts himself out there for female attention and has earned himself a particular suaveness after years of practice. He does, however, have to catch himself when he naturally flirts with boys, though when there is someone he is genuinely interested in he puts slight effort to get himself noticed. Though he does not want to allow himself to enter into a relationship with another male, he would rather have the object of his affection as a friend than far away.
;Demanding
Asa likes things done his own way and to be done when he wants them done. If he does not get his way his mood is low and highly unpleasant and he will have a tendency to snip and pick at those around him. Generally his persistence in this will get people to cave to his demands and only people that have known him for a long time know how to work around him and deal with the petty annoyance he will cause until he grows bored of arguing.
;Natural Leader
Asa has leadership qualities and he will use them to his full advantage. This is why he prefers to hang out with those younger than him and those desperately seeking acceptance. He likes to mold “the youth” into versions of himself, and likes especially when they take to his guidance easily. Of course he is aware that he abuses his emotional sway, but often this is used to make up for his own insecurities, even though he does not like admitting that to himself.
;Insecure
Like all young adults, Asa has insecurities, though his are a bit above average. He is desperately insecure about who he is and thus gravitates to people who are just as unsure. Though he likes to abuse those who feel unaccepted, he feels unaccepted himself, by both his peers, his family, and by his own notions of who he is supposed to be. Generally he fights very hard to ignore these persistent feelings, but when they overcome him he is wrought with stress and depression. This is the reason he retreated to drug use.

`IF YOU THINK I'D LEAVE THEN YOU WERE WRONG
cause i wont stop holding on
(five or more paragraphs)
Asa grew up in what would be considered by most, unusual surroundings. He entered a world of what he would later consider to be religious fanaticism on 3 December of 1990. His parents, both very dedicated Evangelical Christians were intent on raising Asa as a good, Christian boy. As his father was a Pastor, Asa’s early years consisted of many hours in Church, many hours of devoted prayer, and many bible passages that he did not understand. Though this was all of little interest to him, as it generally is to all young children, this was normalcy, at least until Asa began school. As all of the parochial schools in the area were Catholic, Asa’s parents reluctantly sent him to a private, secular school. All of the other little boys Asa met had far different backgrounds than he. They had more interests, and more freedoms. Asa began to crave the latter.
Slowly, Asa’s daring was more prevalent. He began acting out in Church, demanding he be allowed to do something else. He would refuse to say prayers at the dinner table and before bed. At first, Christine and Patrick were unsure of what to do, until “the hand of God” began to reign over little Asa. His father thought that old corporal punishment would be sufficient, and Asa began to receive physical punishment when he went against house rules, after a time this forcibly tamed him, but he would always be plotting new ways to gain a sense of self.
That chance came when Asa was allowed to see friends and he took visiting someone’s house as a small victory, an escape from the constant, prying eyes of religion. As he got older he began to resent more his father’s profession as children would tease him about it. This was his first time truly wondering “why am I not normal?” He kept himself together at home, though, going through the motions as he always had, keeping his room a sanctuary to who he was on the outside and who he would be when he was allowed to leave. When he hit his teen years he was even less sure about who he was and who he would be. It was then he really began to notice sexual attractions, and that his were not matching those of his friends. As they were looking at pretty girls, he was looking at other boys. In truth this scared him immensely as by now he had gotten some acceptance from his parents, some sense of love, even if it was a partial façade on his part. After a long time, he came out to a friend, who encouraged him to come out to his parents. Asa, terrified of the idea, rejected it completely. He was unaware, though; that his parents had already begun to notice that something was “different” about him.
On several occasions Asa’s parents pressed him on it, asking “if everything was alright.” Each time he said “no” and each time they became more insistent until finally Asa broke down, and spilled his feelings to them. Like many parents, rather than being supportive they reacted with shock. Theirs, unlike many parents did not subdue, and they did not try to understand Asa’s feelings, but sent him off to a Christian recovery camp so that he may be “purified by God.” Asa came back unchanged. At that his parents took out their bible more often, drug him to Church more often and even on one occasion his father considered the ancient Catholic ritual of an exorcism. That was when Asa had enough and he decided to run away.
Living in Philadelphia, PA at the time he found it easy to get lost in the city, hopping houses with his friends until he ultimately made his home with other squatters in an abandoned apartment complex. Always he wondered if the parents had sent the police out looking for him, but considering the attitude they had taken towards him, he guessed not. Either way, the police never came and found him there. After a time, he grew bored of his surroundings and decided, with a few others he squatted with that they would see the country hopping trains. That they would live their own lives, and that no one ever need remember their faces. Asa embraced the idea, and they set off west. Stopping every so often in a big city. Still, Asa never found that freedom he had been looking for all his life, so he stopped his journey temporarily in Michigan where he met up with a girl named Crystal, and moved into her house. Crystal introduced him to drugs, and he found himself quite fond of them and hooked rather quickly. Unfortunately, he found himself in a bit of trouble rather soon, caught with a bag of marijuana and a heroin baggie. He did a month in a juvenile detention facility. Upon his release he returned to his old ways up until this point, as he was caught with heroin residue and needles. When the police shook him out of his heroin coma he learned two things: Crystal had overdosed, and jail would not be so easy this time.
