Full Name: Adonis Jacovi White
Age: 17
Sexuality: Straight
Stereotype: Drug-Dealer :: Ghetto :: Thug
Personality:
Adonis is everything but what you see, nothing of what you assume. He has his pluses and his minuses and in the eyes of some, one out shines the other. You decide for yourself.
Charming - He knows what to say to a lady and when to say it. Plus he has a few tricks up his sleeve that'll have the girl he's trying to snatch up amazed.
Honest - Adonis is an honest person; if you ask him something he'll tell you the truth unless the truth hurts too much towards someone he cares about. Other than that, expect honest answers from him, and know that if you can't handle the truth, don't ask him because it's exactly what you'll get.
True - He's true to himself and to everyone around him. He keeps it real, and stays true to himself no matter who he's talking to. He doesn't try to pretend to be what he's not for anyone.
Funny - He's like a stand-up comedian. Always saying things that are on his mind. He's like Kat Williams or Bernie Mac when it comes to telling jokes and comparing things. There's never a dull moment with him.
Creative - Whether it's what he wears, how he plans something, he's creative about it and likes to be original. He doesn't like to do the same thing someone else has, he likes to think out-side of the box.
Protective - He's very protective of himself and doesn't spill his entire life story to someone he just met. At the same time he's very protective of his loved ones, he'll fight for someone he gives a damn about without any second thought.
Argumentative - Adonis won't hesitate to put up an argument; he HAS to be right. Whether it's about music, about sports or about the answer on homework, Adonis is willing and able to put his evidence and reasoning on the table and put up an argument.
Temperamental - It doesn't take much to piss him off. Someone saying something he doesn't like, someone bumping into him without saying "excuse me"; he's just in general quick to jump on someone for slipping up. He's always on edge, and is that way with the majority of the world. He's stuck in the mind frame of thinking that if he doesn't protect himself when he can, someone will bite him in the ass when he can't.
Stubborn - He's been that way since he was little. He doesn't like to admit people are right, and he doesn't like to do things that people tell him to do. If you're not his mom, he's not taking orders from you plain and simple, but after having an attitude, he'll be able to admit he's wrong.
Fighting-Spirited - What he can't solve with words he can solve with his fists. It doesn't take much to make him snap into his fighting spirit, and it's mainly if someone puts their hands on him. He won't fight over someone someone says, actions speak louder than words in his eyes, and if you don't hit him, you're either too scared to, or never was going to in the first place, thus, he doesn't waste his time unless someone hits him.
Extreme - He has the quality of going deep into his emotions to the extreme. Part of it is because he's bipolar (maniac depression) and part of it is because he's been through so much in life. His mood swings vary; at one moment he could be extremely depressed and five minutes later he's never been happier. With Adonis though, depressed isn't as common, he doesn't like to show his weaknesses so instead, he masks it over with extreme anger.
Out-Going - One wouldn't think that he was a social person, but he likes to make new acquaintances which means he loves to go out and do things. He hates being in the house too long with nothing to do so if he has to go to the zoo to find something to do he will.
Gentlemanly - He'll open the car door for a date, let the lady walk in first, he'll pay for everything on the date and doesn't curse around adults. It was how he was raised to be, he can't help himself.
Fearless - Like his zodiac sign; the Scorpio, he isn't scared of anyone but his mom with a belt in her hand. He won't take back his words when some one's in his face, and he doesn't run from a fight. You could be 6'7" 320 lbs. and he'll still fight you without hesitation.
Loving - Though he has no clue what love feels like, he does have the ability to be loving. He'll do anything for his loved ones just to put a smile on their faces, but there's a thin line between him doing anything for you and you using him, and he knows one from the other.
Careless - It's simple, if it has absolutely nothing to do with him he doesn't care. If bob got hit by a car, he'll shrug his shoulders and say "He should've looked both ways." It's not his job to look out for everyone, and it's not his job to keep tabs on people. If it has nothing to do with him or someone dear to him, he just couldn't care less.
Random - Because he speaks everything that's on his mind, it includes things that have nothing to do with anything. The majority of the time it's hilarious what he asks or says, but other times he could be a question that'll make you think just as hard as he was before he asked it.
Hard-Working - If he has something to do he'll get it done. Now how he gets it done is an entirely different story.
Playful - Adonis is the guy coming up with outrageous things to do to entertain himself and people around him. He'll spit freestyles knowing damn good and well that he can't, he'll go around telling girls his brother or his friend wants to get with them. He'll even dress like a nerd and act like one just for the hell of it. He's a wacky guy. A little childish but what's wrong with having an inner child?
Flirtatious - If he sees something he likes he'll go at it. If he's with someone already he knows when flirting becomes trying to get with someone and knows not to cross that line. There's nothing wrong with flirting; the thought that he can leave someone to want to see him again is a great motivator, he loves to do it.
Competitive - It's the main reason why he likes fighting games and racing games because it give him a chance to prove his abilities. "Bet you i can..." and "Five dollars says i can..." have a solid spot in his vocabulary. He like to win, and likes to know he won even though his challenger gave their 150%
Skeptical - He doesn't believe everything he hears. You have to give him solid proof or he won't believe you. He does his own research and believes what he find before believing someone else who has no evidence.
Mature - For a 17 year old kid, he's very mature for his age. He has his moments just like the next person but he acts a little older than his age.
Intellectual - Don't let his accent fool you, he's very intellectual. In face he has a 167 IQ level and reads at a college level. He had a high vocabulary but only uses it accordingly, surprisingly the most is when he's angry.
Confident - He walks with his chin high and a pep in his step. He has his own swagger that demands respect and he respects himself. He has that confidence that's so high no one can bring him down from.
Sarcastic - What's worse than a smart-ass? A sarcastic smart-ass. When he has an attitude with someone or just in general, he has the tendency to be a smart-ass which usually irks people's nerves.
Party-Boy - He drinks, he smokes weed which he wouldn't encourage in kids but he does at least. Though it isn't everyday; it's only when he's out with friends he trust because once he starts drinking he doesn't stop and it gets to the point where he forgets what his own name is.

History:
The white family spreads all over America; in Colorado, Texas, California, Illinois, New York even Hawaii. But Adonis' journey started in Bankhead Atlanta Georgia on October 27th, 1990. Though he was born into a big family, they didn't have much to show for anything. All the males in his family had been to prison at least once, and none of the graduated high school, and even his own mother was a gang banger. His father was never really there for him or her against his mom's will, and he soon left Atlanta to California after she was merely months pregnant with Adonis.
Bankhead is the north-western section of Atlanta full of poverty, drugs and guns and though it isn't inner city, Bankhead is a place where people don't play around, but much like all of Georgia, the neighbors had warm hearts and southern hospitality; everyone on the block looked out for each other like one giant family. His mom had him right after she had graduated high school and she was already in the local Crip gang, and had been for four years. While she was gone; almost all day every day, his grandma took care of him; reading him books and doing crosswords out loud with him every day. In return, by the time he reached talking age, he had unknowingly called his grandma "Mama" while his mom was there. It was a reality check for her and was the point where she had decided to change up her life not for herself but for her son.
She moved out from her mom's house and got her own little apartment with her best friend and of course Adonis and began to take on odd jobs to help pay for her nursing classes at the local community college. She would be out all day; before the break of dawn she'd be at the gas station or the morning shift at MacDonald's, and in the afternoon through part of the evening she would be in school, so Adonis spent a lot of time with his grandma until she graduated with her CNA license right before Adonis started ECE.
Adonis was the brightest amongst all of his class-mates and probably the most adored because he was so funny. He had a high vocabulary and had no problems with doing the easy class work they had given him. He would get it done so fast in fact that he would be doing nothing while everyone else was doing their work. This caused him to be restless and impatient so he would try to help the other kids or get up to go play with the toys but he would get in trouble. And when he got in trouble, the teachers were in trouble as well because Adonis would snap and make a huge scene. On a temper tantrum rage he would throw things, yell and hit the teachers but it wasn't the kind of tantrum a normal kid would throw; it happened a lot more often, almost everyday, and was always taken to the extreme over something little like the teachers telling him to sit down or to give a toy back. They tried to give him harder work thinking it was because he had nothing to else to do, so they gave him work that the kindergarteners had. That wasn't hard enough because he was still finishing it in almost record time. So they gave him work for the first graders which slowed him down a little but not enough for all the other kids to have a chance at finishing their work. What slowed him down the most was the work of the second graders but he could still get it done, and he was still throwing his tantrums. That's when they believed it had nothing to do with the work, it was something else.
They brought him to the school psychiatrist and had him take a number of testings and asked him numerous questions. When the results came back, he was strongly positive for having bipolar disorder. They believed it would fade though; it was just something he had in his early ages but as he got older it got worse and by second grade he had switched between a total of 5 schools due to his behavior. It didn't help much that his mom had taught him how to fight and to hit people back when they put their hands on him; she told him not to let people think that he was a punk. He had to go to a behavior school lastly as a result, where teachers had been trained to deal with bad behaved kids and even then, Adonis was a little too much for them. It was against their policy to kick him out of school which made the job for them a lot harder because Adonis was a hand full. His mom had to pay for numerous things he had broken in the class-room and the final straw is when he got mad over having to sit still after completing his work. He was already angry because the teachers kept asking him if he needed help and the answer was always no and having to sit still caused him to lose his cool entirely. He started punching the wall and tearing down blinds and knocking over stacks of books. When the teachers went to try and stop him he would bite them and kick them. It got so far that he threatened to kill everyone in the class-room including himself and at that point they had to call the ambulance and the police.
They couldn't get a hold of his mother who was at work so under emergency contacts, his grandma was contacted. She rushed down to Children's' hospital and got all information, later getting a hold of his mom who was down at the hospital with the quickness as well. His grandma explained the situation and the doctors ran a few tests that really weren't any good because of the situation. They suggested he be sent to Fort Lattersdale which his mom immediately opposed because Fort Lattersdale was a Mental Hospital or in layman's terms, a psych ward. She said she was taking him home; they had already been in the hospital over night but it surprised the both of them when the van to Fort Lattersdale pulled up to pick him up. The police had a 48 hour hold on him and because of that, his mom pretty much had no say in him going. The walls were made of concrete over-painted with white and the doors were heavy with a small glass window at the top so that the monitors could look into each bedroom that only had a small metal bed and hard mattresses and a small closet where the kids could put their clothes that were brought from their parents. It surely had an "8 Mile" feel to it, like the children were being held captive; the "Solitary Confinement" room putting the cake on the whole situation. In solitary confinement, the walls were padded, and there was one bed in the small room and a camera in the corner so that the child could be monitored. Solitary confinement was where the dangerous children sometimes spent their nights if they were a threat to all the other children and adult well-being. The playground was fenced in by a twelve foot fence and the windows in each room having bars over them but to make it seem a little less like a prison, there were Disney characters painted on each wall in each room. Adonis was lucky enough to get the room with Donald in it; how fitting.
The first few days he spent there was basically Adonis getting used to their schedule and what and what not they were supposed to do. His mom was told that he could get out in as little as three days but a week passed and another week passed and another week passed and Adonis still hadn't got out. They claimed that he was still showing signs of being a threat to society and was trying to arrange for him to attend a "Day Treatment" program which offered on site therapy and such but in the form of school, so he would get to go home and such. He had to get passed them however which he had a hard time doing. The doctor on site resulted to medication to help him calm down and maintain his anger, which his mom was against. It because a ultimatum because he either had to take the medicine or stay in Fort Lattersdale so she had no choice but to agree to the situation. They gave him Depakote which was a mood stabilizer and Lithium which helped with his extreme mood swings. It helped indefinitely and after a month and a week, he was finally released to go home. The medication made him tired; he lost a lot of the energy that he had, and it made him quiet as well as a little slow. So, his prescribed amount was one of each 3 times a day but his mom reduced it to once a day, in the morning. He still flipped at certain times but not as much so he was able to make it through third and fourth grade in Day Treatment. In that time however he met a boy named Lorenzo who became partners in crime quickly and happened to live around the corner from one another.
They were both able to go to a public school by fifth grade and it happened to be Palmer Elementary; a school full of bad-ass black kids. They met the rest of their crew here made up of himself, Lorenzo, a boy named Rollin, Lamont and Trevaughn. By sixth grade at Martin Luther King Middle School they had the reputation as being as the "Pre-Gangster" they had the quality of being gangster's even though they weren't. They spent a lot of their free time at the local skating center, Adonis becoming a player and hitting on every pretty girl he saw. Unlike kids his age he was successful at it, he flirted like a high school kid would. Unfortunate for him, some dumped their boyfriends to be with him and he quickly gained a lot of enemies, for that, and for his fighting because he never lost. He was taken to juvi once where he stayed for two weeks and was given another two weeks on the ankle box because of his drinking and smoking under-aged and his fighting spirit.
Seventh grade came and in no time flat it proved to be one of the biggest years of his life. Lorenzo and himself had pissed off some ninth graders who were in a gang. Lorenzo had went toe to toe with one of their little brothers and knocked out his two front teeth and Adonis had jumped in because one of their boys did on Lorenzo. They were sitting outside on Lorenzo's porch smoking because his mom was at work when the two boys came rolling up in a black Lincoln Town-car with much older members in the car with them. The recognized the speed they were doing and upon instinct they started running which proved to be smart because the car peeled off after them. Being only around 5'6" at the time and a great runner after being all too used to it because he was often getting in trouble with the police and having to run. Lorenzo however was a bit taller which resulted in a bit more weight and made him just a little slower than Adonis. They ran passed a Toyota Corolla and Adonis tripped just in time as shots fired. By the time they pulled off, all the bullets directed towards Adonis had hit the car but the ones directed towards Lorenzo had actually hit him; twice in the side, three times on his back and one in his chest. He picked him up in panic and tried to keep him awake while yelling for help but by the time the neighbors called the hospital Lorenzo had died in his arms and he wasn't willing to accept it, he also wasn't willing to accept that it could've been him had he not fallen.
As if that wasn't enough, his mom had slipped on a oil spot at one of her client's house and broke her kneecap. She wasn't allowed to work for a year and had plummeted into debt. His Grandma was moving to San Diego, California with another good chunk of their family and told them to come with her and thus they did when Adonis was 12. He only managed to get himself into even more trouble out there. They had no income because his mom couldn't work and thus he turned to get money the best way he knew how, and that was to get into trouble. He was too young to work, and the Crip gang on his block welcomed him with open arms. He had two jobs before he was actually in the gang and one was to be a drug runner; getting drugs from one place to another, and the other was to be a "Scope" which was basically someone who looked out for the police and alerted everyone else when they were coming so that they wouldn't get busted for anything or anything along those lines. It paid well for such an easy job at a young age and it got bills paid and from he and his mom having to live on the street.
He met his two brothers, Trey and Bryan the very day he started 8th grade however, when they first met they had no clue they were at all related. At this time, he knew a bit more about his dad; what he did, who he was, but it didn't cross his mind that when he met Bryan in Math class that he was his brother until they brought in the two mothers. Though Adonis looked more like his mom, he had a few features that were undeniably his dad's and from there on it was confirmed that Bryan and Trey were his brothers and that his dad was a hoe.
Before he was 16 he'd be looking at another 2 visits to juvi and a quotation into the gang he was working for. They quoted him under the name "Babyface" and got the spit beaten out of him by 6 guys for 3 minutes. To finalize the process, he had to tag up his rival's turn in broad daylight to show hi heart in which he did in fear. When he was done he was upgraded, and transformed into a street smart Drug-Dealer.
Everything was alright; his mom was back at work only working part-time now because of doctor's order, and he was making money to fill up the patches in the rest of the bills. He spent the rest of his money on shoes and clothes, his phone, and what he didn't spend he saved. He saved up enough in fact to put on a down payment towards his first car; a 1964 Chevrolet Impala SS that he sold right before his mom announced that they were moving to Texas, not because they were moving but because it was a piece of shit that cost him too much money. He thought they were moving because the amount of trouble he was getting into; but he had good grades surprisingly, figuring that if he didn't at least pass high school, he was going to end up like the rest of his family; nothing to show for out of life. But in truth the move was due to his mom's new boyfriend ho had been dating since a few months after they moved to California. He had money, and even though Adonis hated him, he supported his mom and could take care of her. He bought a house out here and packed all of their shit letting the movers move it all out here. Which was about a year ago, and since then, Adonis has been trying to stay out of trouble, but he found the dope game a hard thing to leave behind.

They believed it would fade though; it was just something he had in his early ages but as he got older it got worse and by second grade he had switched between a total of 5 schools due to his behavior. It didn't help much that his mom had taught him how to fight and to hit people back when they put their hands on him; she told him not to let people think that he was a punk. He had to go to a behavior school lastly as a result, where teachers had been trained to deal with bad behaved kids and even then, Adonis was a little too much for them. It was against their policy to kick him out of school which made the job for them a lot harder because Adonis was a hand full. His mom had to pay for numerous things he had broken in the class-room and the final straw is when he got mad over having to sit still after completing his work. He was already angry because the teachers kept asking him if he needed help and the answer was always no and having to sit still caused him to lose his cool entirely. He started punching the wall and tearing down blinds and knocking over stacks of books. When the teachers went to try and stop him he would bite them and kick them. It got so far that he threatened to kill everyone in the class-room including himself and at that point they had to call the ambulance and the police.
They couldn't get a hold of his mother who was at work so under emergency contacts, his grandma was contacted. She rushed down to Children's' hospital and got all information, later getting a hold of his mom who was down at the hospital with the quickness as well. His grandma explained the situation and the doctors ran a few tests that really weren't any good because of the situation. They suggested he be sent to Fort Lattersdale which his mom immediately opposed because Fort Lattersdale was a Mental Hospital or in layman's terms, a psych ward. She said she was taking him home; they had already been in the hospital over night but it surprised the both of them when the van to Fort Lattersdale pulled up to pick him up. The police had a 48 hour hold on him and because of that, his mom pretty much had no say in him going. The walls were made of concrete over-painted with white and the doors were heavy with a small glass window at the top so that the monitors could look into each bedroom that only had a small metal bed and hard mattresses and a small closet where the kids could put their clothes that were brought from their parents. It surely had an "8 Mile" feel to it, like the children were being held captive; the "Solitary Confinement" room putting the cake on the whole situation. In solitary confinement, the walls were padded, and there was one bed in the small room and a camera in the corner so that the child could be monitored. Solitary confinement was where the dangerous children sometimes spent their nights if they were a threat to all the other children and adult well-being. The playground was fenced in by a twelve foot fence and the windows in each room having bars over them but to make it seem a little less like a prison, there were Disney characters painted on each wall in each room. Adonis was lucky enough to get the room with Donald in it; how fitting.
The first few days he spent there was basically Adonis getting used to their schedule and what and what not they were supposed to do. His mom was told that he could get out in as little as three days but a week passed and another week passed and another week passed and Adonis still hadn't got out. They claimed that he was still showing signs of being a threat to society and was trying to arrange for him to attend a "Day Treatment" program which offered on site therapy and such but in the form of school, so he would get to go home and such. He had to get passed them however which he had a hard time doing. The doctor on site resulted to medication to help him calm down and maintain his anger, which his mom was against. It because a ultimatum because he either had to take the medicine or stay in Fort Lattersdale so she had no choice but to agree to the situation. They gave him Depakote which was a mood stabilizer and Lithium which helped with his extreme mood swings. It helped indefinitely and after a month and a week, he was finally released to go home. The medication made him tired; he lost a lot of the energy that he had, and it made him quiet as well as a little slow. So, his prescribed amount was one of each 3 times a day but his mom reduced it to once a day, in the morning. He still flipped at certain times but not as much so he was able to make it through third and fourth grade in Day Treatment. In that time however he met a boy named Lorenzo who became partners in crime quickly and happened to live around the corner from one another.
They were both able to go to a public school by fifth grade and it happened to be Palmer Elementary; a school full of bad-ass black kids. They met the rest of their crew here made up of himself, Lorenzo, a boy named Rollin, Lamont and Trevaughn. By sixth grade at Martin Luther King Middle School they had the reputation as being as the "Pre-Gangster" they had the quality of being gangster's even though they weren't. They spent a lot of their free time at the local skating center, Adonis becoming a player and hitting on every pretty girl he saw. Unlike kids his age he was successful at it, he flirted like a high school kid would. Unfortunate for him, some dumped their boyfriends to be with him and he quickly gained a lot of enemies, for that, and for his fighting because he never lost. He was taken to juvi once where he stayed for two weeks and was given another two weeks on the ankle box because of his drinking and smoking under-aged and his fighting spirit.
Seventh grade came and in no time flat it proved to be one of the biggest years of his life. Lorenzo and himself had pissed off some ninth graders who were in a gang. Lorenzo had went toe to toe with one of their little brothers and knocked out his two front teeth and Adonis had jumped in because one of their boys did on Lorenzo. They were sitting outside on Lorenzo's porch smoking because his mom was at work when the two boys came rolling up in a black Lincoln Town-car with much older members in the car with them. The recognized the speed they were doing and upon instinct they started running which proved to be smart because the car peeled off after them. Being only around 5'6" at the time and a great runner after being all too used to it because he was often getting in trouble with the police and having to run. Lorenzo however was a bit taller which resulted in a bit more weight and made him just a little slower than Adonis. They ran passed a Toyota Corolla and Adonis tripped just in time as shots fired. By the time they pulled off, all the bullets directed towards Adonis had hit the car but the ones directed towards Lorenzo had actually hit him; twice in the side, three times on his back and one in his chest. He picked him up in panic and tried to keep him awake while yelling for help but by the time the neighbors called the hospital Lorenzo had died in his arms and he wasn't willing to accept it, he also wasn't willing to accept that it could've been him had he not fallen.
As if that wasn't enough, his mom had slipped on a oil spot at one of her client's house and broke her kneecap. She wasn't allowed to work for a year and had plummeted into debt. His Grandma was moving to San Diego, California with another good chunk of their family and told them to come with her and thus they did when Adonis was 12. He only managed to get himself into even more trouble out there. They had no income because his mom couldn't work and thus he turned to get money the best way he knew how, and that was to get into trouble. He was too young to work, and the Crip gang on his block welcomed him with open arms. He had two jobs before he was actually in the gang and one was to be a drug runner; getting drugs from one place to another, and the other was to be a "Scope" which was basically someone who looked out for the police and alerted everyone else when they were coming so that they wouldn't get busted for anything or anything along those lines. It paid well for such an easy job at a young age and it got bills paid and from he and his mom having to live on the street.
He met his two brothers, Trey and Bryan the very day he started 8th grade however, when they first met they had no clue they were at all related. At this time, he knew a bit more about his dad; what he did, who he was, but it didn't cross his mind that when he met Bryan in Math class that he was his brother until they brought in the two mothers. Though Adonis looked more like his mom, he had a few features that were undeniably his dad's and from there on it was confirmed that Bryan and Trey were his brothers and that his dad was a hoe.
Before he was 16 he'd be looking at another 2 visits to juvi and a quotation into the gang he was working for. They quoted him under the name "Babyface" and got the spit beaten out of him by 6 guys for 3 minutes. To finalize the process, he had to tag up his rival's turn in broad daylight to show hi heart in which he did in fear. When he was done he was upgraded, and transformed into a street smart Drug-Dealer.
Everything was alright; his mom was back at work only working part-time now because of doctor's order, and he was making money to fill up the patches in the rest of the bills. He spent the rest of his money on shoes and clothes, his phone, and what he didn't spend he saved. He saved up enough in fact to put on a down payment towards his first car; a 1964 Chevrolet Impala SS that he sold right before his mom announced that they were moving to Texas, not because they were moving but because it was a piece of shit that cost him too much money. He thought they were moving because the amount of trouble he was getting into; but he had good grades surprisingly, figuring that if he didn't at least pass high school, he was going to end up like the rest of his family; nothing to show for out of life. But in truth the move was due to his mom's new boyfriend ho had been dating since a few months after they moved to California. He had money, and even though Adonis hated him, he supported his mom and could take care of her. He bought a house out here and packed all of their shit letting the movers move it all out here. Which was about a year ago, and since then, Adonis has been trying to stay out of trouble, but he found the dope game a hard thing to leave behind.
