"Summer has always been good to me, even the bittersweet end, with slanted yellow light." - Paul Monette
Username: Mister Hollow
Chicoon Name: Hendrix
Gender: Male
Personality: This Chicoon is nothing if not fun loving, outgoing, and energetic! He loves to laugh, sing, sit on the shoreside and play his guitar for anyone that happens to wander by or that comes up to him to sit a spell. He seems to have an aura around him that makes people feel at ease and relaxed, and trusting of him. He's easy to talk to and always quick to ask what the matter is if anyone around him seems down, and genuinely cares about the people that are around him, whether that be his best friends or strangers that he's just crossed the street with. He is quick and early to laugh and smile, and believes that no action of kindness is ever wasted or in vain, even if it blows up in his face. People take advantage of him often because of his nurturing nature and how giving (and forgiving) he is, but he lets it, like he lets everything else, roll off of his back like water off a duck's.
Despite all of his good personality traits, he certainly does have a few negative ones as well. He can be aggressive (though he argues that he's not aggressive, he's defensive) when provoked or given criticism, something that he really can't handle well. He has a stubborn streak in him too, something that has kind of ruined a lot of friendships and relationships throughout his life. His carefree nature can make him reckless and irresponsible, throwing all caution to the wind and rolling the dice with dangerous activities, people, and hobbies. He's young and thinks that he can't be beaten down or can't lose at life, and he doesn't take his losses as seriously as he should. He lives every day as if it was his last, every day is an event and brand new beginning of some kind, and every night is a free-for-all.
I picked this quote to represent him because at the end of summer, he always grows deeply melancholy and lonely, because that's when the beaches begin to empty out and all of his temporary friends go away, back to college or back to work or wherever they need to go, while he's left alone on the cold and grey shores that were once so warm and sunny. Every summer's end he mourns for, and can fall victim to seasonal depression episodes if he doesn't closely monitor himself and his behavior, having to constantly remind himself to hold on tight to until next spring and summer.
Backstory: His love for summer began early on in life- he struggled at school so the best time of his life was always when school wasn't in session. Living in a beachside town (and in a beach house right along the shoreline) he practically spent every waking moment along the shore, he knows miles and miles surrounding his home both up and down the beach, and played outside from sunup to sundown, without ever growing tired of the beaches or taking them for granted. He has just graduated high school and is looking to make a fulltime career out of playing his guitar and singing songs, though he's not very good at writing lyrics, he's desperately trying. He finds a lot of inspiration in summer and the sights, sounds, and smells around him on the beach, and his music can often be described as party-goer anthems.
