I am famous for my generosity. They say I am the kindest. It is easier to give than receive love, give than receive love. It doesn't really matter where it all began. All I know, I was COVERED IN DARKNESS.</font>

wanna_rp
did you place a hold in connection with this application? if so, under what journal name? Yes, undercassie_mckinley
your character
full name: Camden Drake
birth date: May 8, 1976
age: 31
hometown: Born in Brisbane, Australia and moved to Las Angeles, California.
job: Lifeguard
sexual orientation and marital status: Gay and single.
ten positive traits:
1. He's a very good listener. Camden is capable of listening to anything you have to say, and then giving you his two-cents if you ask for it.
2. He's very loyal to those he loves. He's always been taught that friends & family come first, and he believes that.
3. He's got a great sense of humor. He laughs at almost anything, and it's easy for him to tell a stupid joke and make someone laugh.
4. He's outgoing, in general. Except when it comes to his singing. But, in general, he's always up for hanging out and meeting new people.
5. He's a very skilled songwriter. He can have an idea in his head, and then fifteen minutes later, have most of the song written.
6. He's got a very diverse taste in music. From growing up listening to everything under the sun, he's developed a very diverse taste.
7. He's a fantastic swimmer. He took up swimming in high school and has kept with it ever since.
8. He knows how to take a joke. He doesn't get offended if someone teases him about something. Most of the time, he'll join in.
9. He knows when to stop. Granted, he can be a jokester, but he knows when to cut it out if someone's getting annoyed.
10. He's independent. He can stand on his own two feet, but he does enjoy having someone to lean on once in awhile.
ten negative traits:
1. He's a tad bit forgetful. Some would call it a selective memory. He remembers some things, but others? No chance.
2. He tends to be a bit scatterbrained, so sometimes it's hard to keep up with him and follow where his train of thought is taking you.
3. He can sometimes have a bit of a short temper, but he's learning how to keep it in check.
4. He has a severe soft spot for fast food. His favorite is Arby's.
5. He sometimes retreats into himself while thinking and blocks the rest of the world out. And that can be frustrating.
6. He's somewhat OCD about washing his hands. His mother always taught him that hygene was important, and she took it to the next stop.
7. He lets music affect his mood. If he listens to or writes a sad song, he can be sad for days. But if he listens to or writes a happy song, his mood can get lifted.
8. He's kind of a technology geek, and loves spending time on his computer.
9. He's shy when it comes to singing for groups of people.
10. He had moods where he doesn't want to be bothered by anyone, and in those circumstances, the best thing to do is let it pass and leave him alone.
five important personal events that have shaped who your character is:
1. Discovering he was gay. When Camden was fifteen, he realized that he was more attracted to men than women. He enjoyed having female friends, but he was never attracted to them. As he got older, he figured out what it meant. It meant that he was gay. He fought it for a little while, but learned to embrace it.
2. Running off the stage in a musical. Camden could always sing for his family, that was never the issue. Once he entered high school and tried out for a musical, he got the role. The audition was in front of two people. But up on stage, opening night? He froze and ran off the stage. He hasn't sung for an audience since.
3. His first heartbreak. Camden had his first boyfriend, Josh, when he was 17. Neither of their parents knew, so it was just kept a secret. Once Josh's parents found out that he and Camden were more than just friends, Josh freaked out and dumped Camden, leaving him behind. That was Camden's first taste of heartbreak.
4. Becoming a lifeguard. Since he wasn't singing in high school, Camden needed something to do to keep himself occupied. He joined the swim team. He was pretty fantastic, and he quickly became one of the top swimmers on his team. Once he needed to find some kind of a career, he decided that being a lifeguard would be a good idea. He took all the necessary classes, and was certified as a lifeguard, and got his first job on a beach in LA.
5. Coming out. Once he got his job as a lifeguard, Camden had become financially stable, and was able to move out of his parent's house. He came out then, telling his parents and anyone he knew that he was gay. He was accepted, thankfully, by everyone. Well, except his father. His father chooses to ignore that fact, but he doesn't dislike his son because of it.
three fears:
1. Mascots
2. Dying alone
3. Enclosed spaces
three desires:
1. Making it big with his music
2. Meeting the man of his dreams
3. Having a family
one secret: He sometimes hates himself for his fear of singing in big groups. It's the only thing holding him back from having a music career. And some people don't even know he can sing, because they've never heard him do it.

STORYLINES.
LISTEN ALL YOU PEOPLE: {open, multiple m/f --gwendo} Camden is a very friendly person, so he has a few friends. He loves laughing and having a good time, and these are the best people to do that with.
CASEY: {open, multiple m/f} This is Camden's best friend, his partner in crime. Whenever they're together, there will most likely be laughing until sides hurt, and probably some trouble caused.
WAKING THE MONSTER: {open, multiple m/f} Since he's so friendly, there's few people he doesn't like. But for whatever reason, these people have given him a reason to not like them. He's not a confrontative person, so he won't seek them out to show how much he dislikes them, but he won't go out of his way to be nice to them, either.
HOW TO BUILD A TIME MACHINE: {open, multiple m/f} These are the people that Camden sees on a regular basis at the pool. They're friendly, but are mostly acquaintences. He doesn't really hang out with them much outside the pool, but they're people he consideres friends as well.
THE ONLY ONE: {dustinwood} Camden has it bad for this man. He has a tendency to wear his heart on his sleeve, and that tendency has gotten him hurt more times than he'd like to admit. He's had his heart broken plenty of times, but it doesn't seem to stop him from putting his heart out there. He just wants someone to be with, someone who understands him and loves him for who he is.
