ScaramoucheAvatarScaramouche — bio
Full name: Scaramouche (surname never given; he doesn't use one).
Age: 28.
Looks: tall, lean, sharp-featured. Indigo hair, usually slicked back with a few strands escaping; indigo eyes. Piercing in the brow and one in the lip — both removed for school, both back on stage. Dresses either like a teacher (shirt, slacks, nothing out of place) or like a musician (leather jacket, rings, whatever's clean).
Work: math teacher at a run-down New York school — permanent now, after the last one quit. Also guitarist and vocalist in an unknown band playing basement clubs; lately the band has been picking up traction online.
Personality: dry, sharp-tongued, allergic to being fussed over. Talks in flat one-liners, teases instead of comforting, and hates mess and being touched without warning. Under all of it — patient to a fault with the people he's decided to keep, and quietly, stubbornly loyal. Sets boundaries and then breaks them himself, which he hates.
Living: a big, clean, deliberate apartment with high ceilings and a wall of windows. Guitars in the corner, tea in the cupboard, coffee in the morning. Doesn't sleep enough, grades papers too late, rubs the bridge of his nose when the numbers blur.
History: a loud house growing up — he learned early that peace isn't silence, it's not waiting for the next thing to fall apart. Keeps his family at arm's length; his mother has a spare key and a habit of showing up.
Weak spots: a sixteen-year-old with a battered notebook and a bad attitude, who he lets sleep in his spare room and can't quite stop worrying about.
