Dead Winter: A leather, dark blue jacket with cotton around the neck area that's left closed most of the time concealing his plain grey t-shirt that's tucked into a pair of black jeans; said jeans are held up by a brown buckle belt. His footwear consists of black combat boots.

Accessories: He has a pair of black rimmed glasses, without them he can still see but not as good. Anthony has a black smartphone he's had for a few months now.

Personality: Around school Anthony's often seen as a very vigorous young man, he's never seen just lazing around unless allowed to do so and is always busying himself with something. Anthony speaks much more comfortably with people older than him like teachers, often asking them if there's anything he can help them with or if they would like for him to go fetch them something to eat. Of course he remains respectful and makes sure to never snoop around were they don't want him to. With people around his age, Anthony's a tad more timid and shy... especially if he doesn't know them too well... nonetheless Anthony will treat them kindly, even if they were to return that kindness with the complete opposite Anthony wouldn't stop treating them the same way. With those he grows used to more, Anthony will show a much more playful-chilled side; often cracking jokes which nobody really seems to get or just asking them if they want to eat lunch together. Anthony also shows some more backbone with them; for example, most of the time Anthony will get pushed around at the school due to by taking small errands, homework or answers they usually need to figure out themselves, but for those he's friendly with he'll state that THEY are supposed to do that. He's easily embarrassed and very shy around the opposite gender, especially if they are attractive, since he doesn't have a lot of experience with women in general Anthony much less dated one before he just nods his head and does whatever they ask him to do; if they just want to talk, Anthony will reply with the usual "Yes" or "No" and if he's feeling a bit daredevil-ish, " Oh, i see."

He's a neat freak and hates any sort of a mess, no matter how big or small and if nobody else is doing it Anthony will clean it up himself. He's got a soft spot for animals and is that guy that won't let even an ant be hurt if he can help it. Since he tends to gain weight real easily Anthony has switched to being a vegetarian. He's very strict with himself and can be extremely harsh if he messes up or makes a fool of himself. Anthony believes there's good and bad to everything and everyone , so he always tries to look at the more positive side of situations/people and isn't as quick to judge someone. From reading and watching so many thriller mysteries Anthony has a developed a "question everything" type of trait; he always tries to look at the bigger picture and isn't quick to assume things. Anthony loves mysteries and really wants to be a detective, though he isn't sure if it's solving the crime itself that excites him or just the fact that someone died that gets him so excited... and that honestly scares him, but that doesn't hold him back.

Anthony can come up with great ideas/thoughts, but he's more of the type who just suggests stuff. Something else that should be noted is that Anthony's really paranoid, so he'll most likely have a few tricks up his sleeve, all possible exits they can take already memorized and have everything that could go possibly wrong in mind. To those that can read people pretty good they would notice something... slightly off about Anthony. In truth Anthony, whenever face with danger, has this little voice inside telling him ways to harm his enemy... which tend to be really, really brutal. If he ever hurts anyone Anthony will feel bad in a couple minutes and depending on what he did, will start crying. Having studied on a lot of human biology, he knows a lot of human's natural weak-spots... so despite being far from Hulk, Anthony knows where to land his hits. This might hint that while he won't go full-on sadistic, Anthony doesn't have the slightest shame to strike from behind or fight dirty... as for example, hitting a man in the "Family jewels" or aiming for their eyes. If anyone's life is in danger, he isn't afraid to kill ... but if he's all by himself it's mostly likely he'll try to talk his way out of things and have whoever peacefully surrender himself.

Likes: Vegetables, being a vegetarian, lotion, dancing, fruits, churos , all sorts of instrumental-music, his aunt, his mom, a good hygienic-state, neatness, making himself useful, reading, learning new things, cleaning, everyone he gets along with, some rock, the color white, animals, mysteries

Dislikes: Any sort of meat, mistreat of animals, large messes, any sort of dirt, being useless, people laughing at him, being the center of attention, platypuses, metal, most rap, most pop, hard candy, the color pink, pineapples, hurting others more than needed

Strengths: Anthony is fantastic in academics and has various knowledge on all sorts of subjects ;wherever said knowledge is useful or not depends on the situation, he's got a very strong memory and can memorize anything if he sets himself to it; this certain trait is the reason why he does so well in academics (especially with math, science and history), Anthony can take gorey scenes and pain very well; he always found it odd that a lot of things that were supposed to hurt never really did and if he did feel pain it wasn't as much as he expected - when it comes to gore Anthony isn't sure why but it has never disturbed him, Anthony works great under pressure and is one of the few times he has a backbone and can react quickly; this is usually for the sake of others though, his stamina is one of the few things he's proud of in physical terms and can last pretty long with running, Anthony can also take insults and negativity in general pretty well due to his time in junior high, it should also be noted that Anthony is very flexible

Weaknesses: Raw strength; Anthony isn't the strongest person and can easily be overpowered so fights are usually decided with whatever tricks he can come up with, Combat of any kind; in a fair right as he is right now Anthony has the barest minimum percentage of winning , Using guns; Anthony has no experience with firearms, Being a leader; due to his low self esteem problem and constant fear of messing up Anthony can't be a leader, Isn't really the type to speak up; unless he's one hundred and ten percent sure Anthony will never make accusations, Social anxiety; because of this Anthony feels like anything he says will either offend or hurt the other person (even if there is no reason it would) so it takes a while before he can make a friend, Low self - esteem; even with being great in academics and always giving it his all in school and work Anthony firmly believes that it isn't enough and that he could do better - he also feels like his academic success isn't a big deal as all he's doing is memorizing stuff and anyone could do it. Anthony has a very sensitive conscious and can't act properly if he felt he was too mean with someone, he's not the fastest runner either, Anthony tends to put his safety before others which often leads him to risking his life and potentially screwing him over.

Dreams: For a long time he dreamed of becoming a superhero, but once realizing how stupid he was for that he decided to become a police officer like his aunt. Anthony dreams of having his own collection of anime merchandise someday and getting a girlfriend.

Fears: The ocean, he's fine with lakes, rivers, and large pools but something about the ocean makes him feel... scared. Anthony fears dying or turning into one of Them, or someone he cares about dying and turning into one of them. The high school student also fears: some bugs, black furred cats, some birds, platypuses, confessing to someone and being rejected, cows, no more internet ever, guns, going to the bathroom without some sort of light, looking under the bed at night, knifes, anything with a blade, heights, old ladders, puppets, Barbie dolls, baby dolls, clowns, people taller than himself, being the first or last one, any kind of live fish, turtles, large forests, eating fish and choking on small bones, eating something rotten and possibly dying, failure of any kind in front of anyone, someone figuring out even one of his fears and using it against him.

Secrets: He actually envies jocks, and thinks they are pretty cool. He misses his old friends. Sometimes he feels very lonely and wishes to have someone he could talk about anime, books, and the like with. Anthony really wants a dog.

Fun Facts: Claims to have a crush on a fictional character named Saber, tends to hit his head on some hard surface whenever he's mad, he likes imitate some scenes he's seen in anime in real life when nobody is around.

Romantic Interest?: Someone with an attitude, confident, smart, strong willed.

Weapon(s)-

The Festival Begins: A wooden broom.

History:Not a whole lot is known about him to the common folk. Since he keeps to himself the people who would know him the most are past friends from his elementary school days… and generally anyone who attended the same schools with him as he’s lived around the same Seattle area for all his life. To anyone that attended elementary school with him Anthony wasn’t always the shy, meek guy he is nowadays; Anthony was a talkative, friendly and full of vigor in his earlier years who could seemingly never be shot down mood wise. This was only furthered back up by when his dad, a firefighter, died inside a burning building. Anthony shed his tears, but he kept going. If anything it was his mother that couldn’t bear with the loss of losing the love of his life so easily.

His mother failed to take care of him properly. There was a time when Anthony kept reusing the same clothes for weeks when suddenly, out of nowhere, he started wearing fresh new clothes again. According to him, he figured out how the dryer and washer worked. The lack of his mom doing anything was what made him grow as independent as a 5th grader could be… by this point they were only living with his dad’s life insurance. Something that changed him forever though was when his mother attended his graduation, all drunk and dirty from the head down. She reeked of someone who hadn’t taken for months. The woman caused a scene and police reinforcement needed to be called after that.

Since that happened Anthony’s friends seemed to tease him about, eventually becoming his bullies. They would tell him he was just as gross as her, that he would turn out as crazy as his own mother. Because of this the boy grew to self reserved, quiet, and studious. Although the bullies never seemed to take the next step and simply kept it as verbal harassment all throughout middle school and early highschool years. Despite seeming defeated and turning into a shell of his former self… Anthony attends school everyday and nowadays he is known as the teacher’s pet, a study bug, such and such. Whatever happened to his mom is kept in secret, although it’s common knowledge he is now being taken care by a family member who is a cop.

Most Memorable Moments: Going to the zoo with his aunt, discovering anime for the first time, graduating middle school with perfect notes.
