History:
Zaid was born in a big city back on earth to a single mother who was a drug addict. When he was one years old his real mother gave him up for adoption. Being that young Zaid doesn’t remember the day or the woman. Annemarie, the owner of the adoption center, was said to have taken him in with open arms. When he was three years old he met his best friend Nicolette. She was stealing a cookie from the kitchen and he was walking in with Annemarie to get a snack. The two became inseparable after that. In the adoption center Zaid was known as the clumsy goody-two-shoes. He often got on the other kids nerves when he told on them if they did something wrong. The only person he never told on was Nicolette. At age ten the boy became obsessed with numbers for some odd reason. Which was hard for any kid in the center to do considering the schooling sucked. It was a pretty run down place but Zaid loved it there. Especially as he got older and spent more time with the others.
When the boy turned sixteen, he got a part-time job at a fast food place. Always giving Nicolette and other kids from the center free food. At the time Annemarie had gotten sick with cancer. Adam and Nicolette were the oldest kids at the center during this time. The rest had gone up and left, doing only god knows what. Zaid soon had to learn to grow up and become a dad and mentor to the kids. He watched adoptions go successfully and fall through horribly. Two years afterwards Zaid graduated from high school and Annemarie was cured of the cancer she had. Zaid later that week found out he had a full-ride to Princeton for ten years. Annemarie told him to go since she had everything handled but Nicolette told him if he left he would be abandoning all the kids there. After a few days of thinking he left and went to start his own life outside of the center. Two years past and they person from the adoption that he talked to was Annemarie. Though on his birthday Nicolette showed up at his dorm to celebrate and tell him she bought an apartment near by.
Once again the two became inseparable. The two hang out with other college students and enjoyed their life being away from everything. Two years later on his birthday him and Nicolette were asked to join the Odyssey and travel to Twirkth. The two slept for eleven years, that was the longest the two were apart. Zaid had woken up after the crash happened only to find that his best friend was dead and they weren’t on the planet they were suppose to be on. Wanting to help out Zaid informed the other scientists of his school background. He now assists in the Avatar program and helps study the planet. The boy will occasionally make up a math problem to entertain himself when he has nothing to do. Which is often since he’s so young and most of the scientist don’t trust him with as much stuff as they work with. Due to his living background.----------------------------------------------The Present----------------------------------------------

Personality: two paragraphs about your character
Feelings toward the Na'vi: He approaches with caution, like how he approaches everybody else. He doesn’t think Na’vi are that much different then humans.
Feelings about Pandora: Zaid thinks it’s a beautiful planet but if there was a chance to leave he would take it in a heart beat.
Response to Authority: Zaid does anything he is told to do to avoid being yell at. Being yelled at is something he cowers from.
Aspirations: Learn more about the planet and leave
Special Talents: He can make others smile and often figures things out in his head within minutes that most people need hours to figure out.----------------------------------------------About Yourself----------------------------------------------
Preffered Name: Temp
RP Experience: About a year or two (on and off)
Age: 17
Password: The Bond
RP Sample: This is from another site from my character Temperance. Her boyfriend and she are talking out a very awkward scenario that happened before this thread dealing with them and her roommate. Link: bindilee.proboards.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=forbiddenforest&thread=9011&page=1#42267
Temp waited a few minutes nervously. She really wasn’t sure what to expect out of Rylan. Before the whole even the girl would probably expect him to be rational about the whole thing. But after seeing him blow up on Tristian like that she wasn’t sure. Though the girl wasn’t scare. Temp had faced scarier things then this sixth year. She couldn’t definitely hold her own if things got bad. But hopefully it would not come down to it. The moment Rylan opened his mouth Temperance held her breath ready for what was going to come next. Though surprisingly the question wasn’t that bad. Okay so maybe it was bad to answer but it was better then him excusing her of things she probably did but shouldn’t have done to begin with. Ugh, why did everything have to be so confusing? “Honestly? Because I knew how to handle Tristian. Him and I have gotten into fights before and I just knew how to handle him more so then this.” Temp waved her hand at her and him before continuing. “And plus I was really mad. Not just at him and you but myself as well. I didn’t want you to get the whole thing and thought yelling at Tristian to let some of it out would be better.” Temperance knew that, that was for sure the truth of why she had stayed. It was decided just now in her head. Though how bad did it sound when she almost said that she opened up to her friend and not her boyfriend.
“No,” the girl stated louder then she expected. Temperance’s face formed into a confused look as she shook her head. It was like a sudden outburst that happened. Didn’t she just want to drop this and move on? It would be a good idea and way less stressful then anything else they would have to do. But no, Temp was tired of not confronting things. She was tired of not talking things out, of just letting things stay hidden and slide by. “I can’t just let it go like that. It happened and forgetting that it did might seem like a good idea right now. But what about later when we’re hanging out or something and we’re reminded of it. I don’t want things to be awkward between us anymore. I want you to ask all the questions you need to ask. I want to talk about this.” Temperance finally dropped the stick and stood up from her sitting position. It was the first time in her life that she was actually facing something that scared her. The first time she was going to confront her true feelings whether she wanted to or not. It was going to be done. Now or never. And she was sick of having mental break downs because she held in more emotions then should have to begin with. At seventeen you shouldn’t be this of an emotional wreck. Should be enjoying your life. Something she was not doing, but at this point was determined to do so. No matter what the consequences might be at this very moment.
Slowly reality started to sink in as she realized she pretty much set her self up to lie to him. No doubt one of his questions would be ‘what happened once he left?’. Temperance had wanted to talk about this and made that clear. But she wasn’t ready to lie. Not yet. Not now. But it seemed to be her only option. If they were ever to talk this out and get things going again she was going to have to lie. Nobody other then her and Tristian were going to know about what happened in that room. Maybe a few nurses, but what student talked to them anyways? Hopefully not Rylan, then she would just be creating a bigger mess for herself. But it was a risk she was willing to take to keep him in the dark for as long as possible about the whole. Though Temperance knew the truth would be revealed eventually. It would just be a matter of time. The truth always came out, whether people wanted it to or not. Which most didn’t.
