Name: Steven 'Bonkers from Yonkers' Oscar Ritzski
Age: 15-and-a-half
Physical Description: Steve is around 5' 6". His hair is naturally light brown, but as he has mood hair, it often changes colour according to his mood. His eyes are grey and inquisitive. His face is oval shape, with a strong jaw. He is quite thin, due to times when he doesn't like the eat.
Clothing Description: He likes to wear whatever he wants. He likes to dress-up and layer t-shirts on shirts and jumpers under hoodies. He also likes army jackets, and treasures a U.S. Army jacket that his grandfather gave him when he was young. He will often wear worn-out jeans or combats. Steve loves to put things in his hair like feathers, leaves, paper, or whatever else he can find. He will often not wear shoes, but will run about in bare-feet.
Personalty: Steve has a fun personalty. He has A.D.D., which at others' expense, will make him talk rather fast on a number of subjects at the same time. He has had a very hard life, which comes back to him at times, and influences his actions. He doesn't want to hurt people, or be annoying, but that may come across. He doesn't really understand other people's emotions, let alone his own, which can make his mood-hair come in handy.
History: Steve was born in Yonkers, NY, and has lived there all his life. His parents, Olivia and Marty, found it hard to raise him, as they didn't have a lot of money. His father was a Heroin addict, and was unemployed and his mother was a schizophrenic artist, who had powers too, but never went to gifted school to help her control them. She was able to create people and things from her mind, and make them real, but this made her terribly confused about what was real and what wasn't. She was soon detained to a mental home in New Jersey, and Steve hasn't seen her much since.
Mean while, driven by his addiction, Steve's father had been sent to prison under the charges of armed robbery and possession of illegal substances. Steve had to live with his uncle for that time, but he was abused mentally and physically. At some of his lowest points in his life, Steve had been forced to take drugs, and almost died three times: He O.D'd of prescription drugs when he was 12, he was almost killed by one of the gangs round his neighborhood, and exploded the place he was living in one time.
When he turned 14, and getting terribly bullied at school, getting abused by his uncle at home, worried sick about his mother and what they could be doing to her, and if his father would ever get out of jail and off the drugs, Professor Hoodham visited him, saying that he belonged at Orchid Hill. His uncle didn't want Steve to be going anywhere, and Steve himself didn't know to trust the professor. Finally his uncle let him go, and Steve realised that he belonged here. He doesn't ever want to leave, as he feels safe and can be himself.
Gifts: Steve can explode things with his mind, he can control electricity and he has 'mood hair', where his hair changes colour reflecting his mood.
Pets: none
Other: Steve has A.D.D., a mild form of O.C.D., and Schizophrenia. He has to take a lot of medication, which changes his hair to his natural colour for a while. He may refuse to take his meds sometimes, but when that happens that school has to strap him down and force him. He often visits the hospital wing if he has exploded something too close to him and hurts himself.
He has been labeled as 'un-stable' by many teachers, and people tend to judge him before they get to know him, but he's really a nice guy.
