Distinguishing features: In a tuxedo, Cenek almost looks like a businessman. The green rolex stands out in every outfit he wears, however, as does the fact that both of his ears are pierced. He also wears a variety of necklaces and rings; aside from the fact that he almost looks like a model, the jewelry is what most people are drawn to at first.

Any Mental Illnesses: Cenek is on medication from time to time for his paranoia. He constantly feels like the world is out to get him or that the people he knows are talking and doing things behind his back. He almost has two personalities; the confident mask he wears when gambling or socializing and the paranoid broken down reality that is him drinking and staying on the phone all night with his sister with the tv on.
Character's short-term goals in life: To live life to the fullest; money, women, booze.

Mental Strengths/Weaknesses: His mental strengths are that he is not easily attached to others, so he can move from person to person without any lingering side effects. This is also a weakness, however; he has trouble keeping friendships because he doesn't attach enough occasionally.
--His weaknesses are many. He is very paranoid, and one saying may send him into his nervous state where he often loses his cool and/or strikes(if with others; alone, he just breaks down). He believes he is better than people to some extent, but no longer believes he is godlike. He also can't tell when and when not to keep a secret, and cracks easily under pressure.

Cenek's Past and Recent History
Up untill he turned 21, Cenek's life was meaningless to him. He was born in Paris, France and lived there with his mother, father, and two sisters. When he was 12, Cenek moved to Oregon, a place he had barely heard of before moving there. He often wondered why he had to leave his country with only his mother and Josephine, but later learned it was part of a divorce(his mother hadn't told him). He was suddenly thrust into a new culture, and by the time he was 15 and in high school, he was suffering nervous breakdowns almost every week. Distraught, he was finally expelled from his private school and forced to attend public school. There, his breakdowns were almost daily until he was finally medicated. In high school, he realized that he most definitely was better than everyone else. He was pretty, and had a few close friends during that time. After graduating with decent grades, he decided to become independent and work in...

Las Vegas. His dream city. Or so he thought; he imagined the money would be easy. He struggled with everything for two years. Food and showers were scarce during his first few months, but he finally landed a job working at a McDonald's. He left after he turned 21, and was instantly hired at the Paris for his skill, appearance, and accent(which he only uses when he wants to). He has been working there for nearly 8 months; every once in a while, he still suffers a breakdown. He usually turns to alcohol for this...and often calls his sister while he's drunk and watching some late night tv show. His social life changes from month to month, always hanging out or being seen with different people. He tried the dating scene, but he can hardly stand someone for more than a few weeks.

Getting There
((Yeah, I'm sorry. This is the part I'm most confused about, so sorry if I'm so totally wrong here...I'm just throwing out an idea.))

Cenek won a ticket to the location in Greece through some luck on the gambling floor. It was the grand prize, and just like every other time he gambled, he risked it all. Sure, it wasn't France. But Cenek didn't mind. He was going back to Europe at least.

Ideas for an Animal
Cenek has never been really into animals. He does, however, detest birds. If they were feeling particularly playful, they could choose a species that matched his name. Which is why I chose it; It's not really a French name, however...

1. The Black Mamba
2. Egyptian Cobra
3. Some other type of snake

((I don't really have any ideas of how I'd expect the changes to occur, as I'm not even sure if snakes are being accepted.))

I'm really glad you like Cenek. I put a lot of thought into him.

I'm having trouble choosing a snake for him, however; if you have any ideas as for what would make a good one, please tell me. I always picture his changes to be completely covered in scales, but with clawed hands(a naga tradition, I'm told) and a snake's face. If possible, I'd like to see what would happen if he kept his hair.

Is his way for getting there acceptable? I had a hard time thinking of a way. Either way, I'll get to the literacy test soon.

Yay, someone likes Cenek. That makes me so happy~
