| [atrb=border,0,true][atrb=style, background-color: #EEEEEE, border: #59b1ba 5px solid; width: 400px; height: 500px;] hey there. the name's icarus mcgregor koufidakis! i go by icarus most of the time, and greg to the people who for some reason can't pronounce icarus too if you were wondering. also i'll have you know that i am twenty eight & loving it. oh. you've heard that I'm heterosexual? & that I'm from athens, greece? well the rumors are true for once. well I gotta get going, dinosuar bones are calling. see ya'! history, icarus was born and raised in athens, greece. he was raised greek orthodox, and taught the language. he spent his whole childhood there, before his family moved to the states, but that doesn't come for a while. for now, let's start with his family. his mother, maria, and his father, aias had him at quite young ages, his mother being seventeen and his dad at twenty three. his mother's family was never predominant in his life, for the mere fact that they didn't like aias koufidakis. his father's side of the family adored maria and the child, unlike maria's parents who that icarus was an abomination. icarus' father's side was fortunate when it came to finances, but for the first four years of icarus' life, his parents weren't very good with budgets. thats why, in the sixth year of his life, they moved to america, where aias' would finally attend college and gain a degree in veterinary science and icarus would finally be enrolled in kindergarten a year late. despite that language barrier, icarus' was a very intelligent chid. he learne the english language in a breeze, and as he got older, taught himself how to mask his greek accent. also as he got older, he gained a fascination in dinosaurs. every christmas, he'd ask for something dino-related, and the same went for birthdays. whether it be a book of fossils or a robotic one, or even a discovery channel series or special on dvd, icarus collected them all. he turned out to be a nerd, and for that, he was never popular throughout his high school career. he was attractive, sure, and he wasn't weird, but instead of trying out for football, he was home studying dinos. as for his parents financial struggles, things brightened up for them. his father created his own veterinary practice which brought in most of the bills, while his mother designed cakes and other pastries. graduating high school, icarus attended college to get a degree for paleontology. he also worked on his social life. he gained more friends, went to more parties, and drank a whole lot'a booze. he worked on his muscles and his appearance, got contacts, and went on more dates. he didn't completely abandon his orginal nerdy self. he just masked it. that way he could be the guy he loved and the guy that he didn't love as much, but was required to survive college. as soon as he grauated college, and got his complete degree, he took an internship in australia. there he lived with the aborigines meanwhile digging up dinosuar bones. in australia was also where he met the love of his life... "so there i was, in australia, running around with a bunch of aborigines, looking for some bones, when i saw the hottest, most beautiful, amazing woman i've ever seen in my life. i'm not even exaggerating when i say she looked like a goddess. first look and i was in love. i'm not even kidding- love. 3oh3, love is a word i was taught how to say and it's this girl. so i met her. i talked to her. i liked her. and then we fucked. no, just kidding, but really, we did. we were exclusive for the rest of my internship, and when it was time to finally go home, i didn't want to. actually, i did want to. i wanted to go back home really bad. i just didn't want to go without adaline. they didn't hav girls like her back in the states. she was down to earth, mature, she liked what i liked, and she was beautiful. it didn't get much beautiful...er... than her. things were going awesome back in connecticut. she met my parents, we lived together, we had a grand time. but here's the thing- i don't like limits. i loved her, i wanted to be with her, but i couldn't. i felt like i was on a short leash in a relationship, which i was. you're always on a short leash when you're in a relationship, but i didn't want to be, and i was sure that she wouldn't be happy if i told her that. she wasn't happy when i did the next thing i could think of either, and that was dump her. believe me, it was a hard decision and a decision i didn't want to make. it was selfish, and stupid, and ridiculous, and just... i regret it everyday, but with her, i'm too chicken to do anything about it. that's all there is to it. i moved to hartford, and took a job at a high school teaching biology, and i'm doing pretty good. i haven't seen adaline in a about a year, and since i've cut my hair pretty short... ha. but uh, yeah. that's life. " personality, who is icarus koufidakis? a funny, charming, and all around awesome kid, and oh, does he know it. not only does he know it, but to anyone who asks, he'll tell them. he's a very proud person, but not a conceited sort of proud. he's accomplished a lot, and for that, he thinks highly of himself. don't worry, though. he's still a nice guy, despite his somewhat narcissisitic behavior. he knows what it's like to be the kid never picked in dodgeball or the one who never had a partner when the teacher said to form groups. because of that, he's extremely accepting of his peers, and doesn't like to leave anyone out of anything, nor does he like to see people being harmed in any way- emotional or physical. he doesn't take shit from anyone. it's a rare occasion that he ever has to take people's bullcrap, due to his ruggid and tough appearance, but what's that? someone else is being harassed? super icarus to the rescue. his rescuee doesn't know him? no problem. icarus is still willing to beat a villian's ass. he's not only a good friend to strangers, but he's a good friend to his own friends. while we're on that topic, we'll talk about how good icarus is at making friends, and oh lord, he is. if there was a contest that involved meeting and making friends, then icarus would definitely be in the winner's circle. he loves to interact and socialize with people, and most of the time, he'll walk away from a conversation with a stranger with the self satisfaction that he could add another friend to his list. there is nothing more rewarding for icarus than getting on someone's good side. his parents always told him to never listen to peoplee who used the quote "keep your friends close and your enemies closer." instead, they'd tell him one of their own. something about a bigger army, and the bigger it is, the less enemies you'll have- or something like that. with that, icarus doesn't usually get into fights, unless he's acting as a self acclaimed superman. he could surely take someone on, but he'd rather not. fighting isn't his thing, verbally OR physically.(even though he could beat a bitches ass) so now the actual personality, right? sounds good. despite his abundance of nerd-hq apparel, he is far from being your stereotypical-bookworm-geek. he llikes star wars, james bond, and indiana jones, and isn't ashamed. he reads books (on a kindle of course) and he listens to oldies instead of today's music that literally sounds like someone got high before they entered the studio. he has a degree for paleontology and watches jurassic park almost religously. however, this doesn't mean he can't get the ladies, which he most definitely can. he most definitely enjoys it, too. he'll only somewhat hesitate to give someone a little lovin', and that's only if they look questionable to having herpes or some other sexually transmitted disease. so, really, that's all you gotta know about icarus to get along with the boy. appearance, icarus is a pretty average lookin' guy, but he's been told that he's quite a catch when it comes to his good looks. he has a strong and atheltic build, but he isn't ripped with muscles. he has just enough to impress the ladies though. he has eyes the color of dark chocolate, and his teeth are probably the whitest possible. he isn't perfect though. every hunk has their flaws, and icarus' happens to be his ears. they're giant, and it doesn't run in generatiojs! in fact, every one else in his family has small and petite ears. his height is a whole different story. being the tallest in his family, he stands at a whoppin' six feet and four inches. the roleplayer, yo. i'm hannah. i'm eighteen, and i'm a senior in high school. (PARTY AND PARTY AND YEAH) i've been role playing for like, seven years, give or take. i like zachary levi. and chuck. and tangled. i'm kind of obsessed, yeah, okay. i made this site, too.  what else do i even say? |
