..::Basics::..
Name:: Ethan Lucas Carter
Nickname(s):: "E" or Luke
Preferred Name:: "I don't really have a preference. Since I was kid my family has always called me by my middle name. Not because I asked them to but just because I guess. So at home I'm use to being called Lucas or Luke. Outside of my home and family members everyone else calls me Ethan. So, typically my friends and school teachers and stuff call me Ethan or if were talking about friends it's just "E".
Age:: Seventeen
Birthday: December 9th
Gender:: Male
Sexuality:: Questioning
..::A Bit More in Depth::..
Group:: Outcast
Personality:: When it comes to his level of openness Ethan falls somewhere in-between Jane and J.T. There are certain things that Ethan just doesn't like to talk about and if you do bring up something that he doesn't want to speak on he'll either be silent or try to change the topic. When pushed about things that he obviously doesn't want to get into he goes into a sort of fight or flight mode and depending on who you are he'll either just walk away or punch you in the face. This response to things has gotten him in a lot more trouble then he'd like to admit but it's just the way he is. He doesn't like to fight but he is a fighter and when pushed he's not afraid nor will he hesitant to let his fist start flying.
Ethan is generally a cheerful person with a good sense of humor. He is a very honest and straightforward person. So much so that people have often said that he is "rude" and "unemotional". Which Ethan doesn't really agree with. Yes, he is blunt but typical the so called "rude" things that he says he doesn't say meaning to be intentionally rude. People just take it wrong way. As as him being "unemotional" he personally feels that he is the exact opposite. He actually feels like he is far too emotional. Ethan isn't one of those types of people who hides or downplays or lies about his emotions. So, with Ethan you never have wonder what or how he's feeling because he doesn't hid it. Between that and his straightforwardness, you never have to wonder where you stand with him or how he feels about you because he'll flat out tell you or show it in the way he treats you.
On the lighter side of things Ethan is extremely ambitious, especially in regards to his art. While his grandparents aren't exactly enthusiastic about his want to be a legit artist, they've supported him in his aspiration which means everything. When it comes to his art Ethan can be very sensitive and he isn't always respective of everyones criticism. If your not one of the other Outcast or a member of his family he doesn't really value or give a damn about your opinion. Unless of course your opinion is a positive one or your someone important in the art community.
For the most part Ethan is a really laid back guy. He isn't the kind of person who goes looking for a fight or drama. He'd rather spend all day in his studio or with his friends then waste his energy dealing with people he doesn't care for. While he isn't the most social person in the world he is definitely not antisocial or socially awkward. He can carry a conversation with just about anyone if he really wants to, it's really just about him figuring out if he wants to.
Likes & Dislikes:: "The one thing that I love possibly more than my family and friends is my art. In the beginning I use to just tag graffiti and murals everywhere but I think back then I was just trying to be rebellious or something. Nowadays, I've stopped tagging other peoples' shit and you'll find all my work in my studio ... otherwise known as the garage. I would really like to become a legit artist one day but as my parents haven't failed to point out on numerous occasions it's highly unlikely that it will happen. Call it my pipe dream. Am not a fan of animals but I like pets. Don't know if that makes sense. By pets I mean I like domesticated, household pets. Cats, dogs, rabbits, hamsters and all those kinds of pets am fine with. I don't do scaly pets though. I don't do lizards and snakes and I think fish are like the worst possibly pet a person can have. You spend all this money on tanks, decorative things to put in the tank, the fish themselves, fish food and when it's all said and done you do nothing but look at them. It's always been stupid to me. I can't cook but I love to eat. I wish I could cook but I just can't. I tried. Failed. Stopped trying. I like music. All different kinds of music. As long as it's in a language I can understand I'll listen to just about anything. "
Fears:: "Death scares me more than anything else in this world. The thought of closes your eyes and never opening them up again. Your corpse rotting in the earth and you becoming nothing more than maggot food. It just scares the hell out of me and the thing that makes it worst is that I know it is one day going to happen. If your fear things like heights and clowns and flying you can just avoid that stuff, but the one thing that no one can avoid is death. Which just makes it that much scarier."
Secrets:: "I know that am attracted to woman. That's something that I've never had to think twice about. The thing that I'm struggling with and I guess questioning is whether or not I also feel the way about men that I do about women. No one outside of my sister, Sebastian and myself know I have feeling of confusion towards my sexuality. I told my sister just because were close and I guess if anything I needed to know how she would feel if I did turn out to be ... not exactly straight. I told Sebastian because I know that he's bi and if there was anyone who was going to understand what am going through it would be him.
With senior year just around the corner I've started looking into colleges. When it comes to my art, while my grandparents have been supportive enough to let me turn our garage into my personal art studio they are not exactly optimistic about me turning it into an actual career. Which is why I've been keeping it a secret from them that I've actually been looking into art schools and have begun developing a portfolio that I will hopefully have finished by the time it's time to send it out."

Tattoos/Peircings:: "I have one tattoo and it's on the right side of ribcage right underneath my chest. It's a quote from peter pan and it means a lot to me. I’ve always had a fear of death but realize that when I do die, I will just go on to a new adventure.”
Faceclaim:: Jeremy Sumpter
Scars:: Nothing serious. Just the usual old cuts, scratches, and scrapes from childhood that have long since healed up.
Brief History:: Three months after Ethan's first birthday and a few weeks after the birth of his little sister Nicole, their mother brought them from sunny LA to the small town of Riversdale. Their mother, Claudia Carter, had been born and raised in the small town and her parents still resided in her hometown. In California Claudia was a model on the rise and she was far to busy living in fast lane to make the commitment that being a mother required. So, after spending less than a week with her parents, year old son and newborn baby Claudia pack up her stuff and went back to California leaving her children with their grandparents. In the beginning she would call twice a day everyday just to talk to him and she was fly in on his birthday and christmases to be with her kids. However, as both Ethan and Nicole got older the calls and the visits became less and less frequent.
Instead of calling or visiting she would send Ethan and Nicole packages and money from California. Every once in a while she would even send a postcard or letter telling them how much she missed them and how she would eventually send from them and they could be one big happy family in California. It's been seventeen years and Ethan has given up all hope of his mother ever actual "sending" for them. While he could see himself moving to California for college he doesn't see himself having much of a relationship with his mother if he did. When it comes to his personal feelings about his mother he can't really put into words how he feels about her. He doesn't know if his angry or resentful or if he just doesn't care. He doesn't know who his father is and probably never will and his mother has never been much of mother. He loves his grandparents who have basically been his mom and dad, and in spite of the fact that the run in different circles Ethan and Nicole are nothing like Charlotte and Sebastian. They do argue sometimes and neither one likes the company that the other keeps but at the end of the day they do love each other.
