FULL NAME:
Michael Benjamin Newton
NICKNAMES:[/b
Newton, Mike
AGE:
Eighteen
BIRTHDAY:
March twelfth
SEXUALIY:
Hetero
JOB:
Employee at Newton’s Olympic Outfitters. Fun
SPECIES:
CANON:
I don’t think I could come up with a character this… persistently annoying.
I’m nothing but a human, after all. Nothing special.
GENERAL APPEARANCE:
Mike Newton, though hated by most of the Cullens for reasons he’s not entirely sure of, is actually relatively popular amongst most of the girls at Forks High. At five foot eleven inches tall with skin a bit tanner than most Forks residents and some toned muscle that’s often unnoticed due to having Emmett Cullen as a comparison, no one can honestly say that he’s an eyesore. His eyes- which would be the same color as the sky if he lived anywhere other than Forks- usually hold an arrogant gleam or a mischievous spark. Add in a disarray of blonde locks that never seems to want to obey the law of gravity without at least half a jar of hair gel and it’s quite obvious he has the whole boy band look going on. Heck, he’d be getting most of the looks of any of the guys if the Cullens hadn’t come along.
Let’s face it, the fashion sense in the Olympic Peninsula suffers because people have to dress to accommodate with the rain. Like most people who’ve spent their entire lives in Forks, Mike knows to always wear or take something that has a hood, because even if it isn’t raining when he leaves, chances are it’ll be raining by the time he gets back. So, with that limitation, his wardrobe consists of many hoodies, a bunch of tees -what teenage males’ closet contains more than tees?- and jeans. After all, formal events don’t really happen all that often in Forks; but somewhere in the back of his closet are some dressier clothes that often go untouched for month s at a time.
MOST LIKED FEATURE:
Mike rather likes his hair, and at one point tried to imitate the look that Edward Cullen had going on. He has since abandoned that look after realizing that it was getting him nowhere.
MOST HATED FEATURE:
Mike doesn’t particularly enjoy his height, considering the majority of the males at Forks are at least six feet tall; he always curses the fact that he’s one inch away from being able to claim that he’s, in fact, six feet tall, thank you very much for asking.
HERITAGE:
I guess American, since it’s impossible that he’s a human-golden retriever hybrid.
ETHNICITY:
Caucasian
You’re not the only
GENERAL PERSONALITY:
Mike is the prime example of how twisted a mind can get when raised in Forks for a vast period of time. He’s loyal, obsessed with following people around, often compared to a Labrador retriever, overly helpful, persistent, competitive, arrogant, and jealous. They’re -mostly- completely normal human emotions, but he just has a way of making them more annoying than they actually are. Though he’s relatively popular amongst his fellows at Forks High, he has been and always be his own number one fan. Oh, I forgot to mention that he’s forgetful, annoying, vengeful, and a complete and total sexist pig.
Very much in denial, he believes that every girl wants him, even if they’re currently in a stable relationship with someone else. I swear, someone needs to come along and burst his bubble; bring him down from his high horse so he can get back in touch with the reality that he long ago ceased to see.
Frequently and easily confused, his unobservant self takes a little bit longer than your average teen to catch on to something blatantly obvious. Things that aren’t so obvious, however, appear on his radar in the blink of a second. On a positive note, Mike can be charming every once in a blue moon, friendly, kind to most, humorously sarcastic, and the class clown- therefore making him the cause of many laughing fits.
HOBBIES:
being persistent, annoying people, unknowingly imitating a golden retriever, ticking off cullen (any cullen), daydreaming about bella, working, being an overly helpful pig in disguise, you get the picture. oh, and playing video games, procrastinating, and facebooking.
DISLIKES:
edward cullen, being alone, being turned down, the la push gang, pistachio ice cream, leafy green foods, edward cullen, english class, losing, pop bands, blindingly bright lights, and rodents. did i mention edward cullen?
LIKES:
snow, snowball fights, himself, girls, acting goofy, hiking, dogs, french fries, gym class, competition (as long as he wins)
FEARS:
Uno) Growing up a lonely old man with a trillion cats.
Dos) Dying young.
SECRETS:
1) He’s still totally into Bella. It’s obvious, but he likes to think that no one knows.
2) Big words terrify him because he doesn’t know what they mean. -it explains so much-
We can’t all be freakishly strong.
GENERAL HISTORY:
((ooc- have i ever mentioned that i hate doing histories? no? well, i hate doing histories.))
Mike is one of the many people born and raised in Forks. After all, not many people move to the dinky little town of Forks willingly after actually tasting freedom in some town that doesn’t rain constantly. His parents, John and Karen Newton, brought him up as best they could. The tried to teach him right from wrong, to teach him good manners, and to teach him some important life lessons and social skills that he’d need to know as he got older. By the time he started pre-school, he knew that rough housing with his friends was wrong- he still did it anyways, but he knew he’d get yelled at it when he got home- and that he was supposed to say please when asking for something.
Throughout his school years, he succeeded in making friends much more than he succeeded in getting good grades. His grades always were just enough to scrape by and pass to the next class; never enough to get him any special awards nor too poor that he had to be held back. School went by in a blur, one year melting into the next with glorious three month breaks known as summer vacation stuck in between each so that the children didn’t die of brain overloads. Looking back on it now, Mike remembers more of what went on during the summers than he remembers what happened from day to day in the classroom. Somehow, though, the major information that he learned in school stayed with him; he knows his alphabet and numbers, after all.
High school had been the best years of his life. It’s usually the best years of anyone’s life- next to collage that is. High school has also been the most interesting point in Mike’s life, what with the arrival of the Cullens and Bella Swan and a failed relationship with the latter that led to an on-again, off-again relationship with Jessica Stanley. Sadly, since Bella moved into town, the Cullens have felt the need to attempt to make his life a living hell- and they usually succeed in this devious little task that they’ve assigned to themselves.
