My real name is too hard for most people to pronounce so I go by the alias of 'Bad Wolf' on most RPs. I haven't been role playing for a very long time but I've been writing for the past four years, so I don't think my role playing is too bad. Although I know I still need a lot of improvement.
As a warning (a very important warning), watch out for my grammar; it's absolutely horrible. I grew up speaking a mixture of three languages and I don't think I ever recovered... if you get what I mean. It was one language for school, one for home, and one for grandparents. After all that, I started learning a fourth language in school, German. Even after all these years, I still mix up all my grammar. In fact, I'm starting a new language next year, Spanish. Imagine how mixed up I'm going to be after that!
Oh right, age! I might have forgotten about that. I'm currently sixteen years and approximately seven months old. I'm just starting my Junior year in High School (my school doesn't actually call it that ...different system. It's the eleventh grade for us.)
As for where I live, well, that's hard. I live in one country, go to boarding school in another and then visit at least two other countries while I'm on vacation. I'm based around South East Asia but I am in either Europe or North America (and sometimes both) at least once every year.
You can't make out where exactly I'm from by my appearance or my accent. I'm Asian but I've been called Mexican, South American and even Spanish and my accent is mostly English. If someone does ask me where I'm from, my only reply would be: 'Oh, all over the place."
My character is actually a lot like me, apart from the tattoo (which I wish I could have) and the fact that I can't actually play the guitar.

Wow. Growing up with three languages? That's pretty cool. What three?

More confusing that cool! I must have invented a few words while growing up. Hindi (National language of India) is what I needed to speak at school, Mum and Dad are both pretty bad at Hindi, so we speak English at home, my grandmother only speaks Bangla (National language of Bangladesh) so I had to learn that as well. Oh right, I might have missed Assamese. That's another one of the many many languages spoken in India, I can understand it but I can't speak much.

That's still pretty cool. Not to mention - a useful skill to have.

I thought I'd add on a picture: That's me, right after I got the fringe.

You know this like so cool... I grew up speaking three as well due to my parents different backgrounds and me living in another country, As you know I live in Australia, born there, and grew up in it. My dad came from Armenia to Australia with his parents and we do speak Armenian at home, but in school I had to speak English and with mother's grandparents I have to speak Arabic for my mother is Lebanese. It was kinda confusing in the beginning but it's all good now. I wanna learn Spanish I think it's pretty awesome.. I speak some french though learned it in school and my mum she's a french teacher. I think you'll find my grammar a little bit screwed up as well neva been good with it but other than that am good

This is nice, you've got a nicely mixed background! My mum speaks a little bit of Arabic, she had a friend who taught her. It sounds really nice! That's one language I really want to learn. Since I was in Greece this summer, I learnt a few words and I know about three words of Chinese (Mandarin), two words and one sentence of Korean and two words of Welsh. I'm almost fluent in German and till now, I can count up to five in Spanish and wish people 'Good morning'. If I manage to get my grammar sorted, that really might be good for me!
