"happy&optomistic. ever since he met river, demetri has been a completely happy person and always gets excited when he sees his riv-riv. he's full of life and is always smiling, well most people always think he is. he always has a spring in his step and is very optomistic about everything. no matter what he always looks to the bright side of things. when him & river fight, he always thinks of it as making them a stronger and more loving couple. he's the one friend to go to when your life is crumbling, because demetri knows how to give people hope and he knows how to make everyone else feel better.
patient. demetri is the perfect person to go shopping with. he will stand in the line for you and he wouldn't care how long it took. when he was younger and he had to wait for his dinner plate, he always be the one who would sit there with his hands crosed and waiting so graciously. when dealing with someone he could be patient for a long time. the people he gives the most patience to is his fans. he loves them all dearly, and even if they want to touch him, he lets them. after all they got him where is today, and with a little more help from them they will make him get all the way to the top.
energetic. when dem was a kid, you didn't have to give him sugar to start bouncing off the walls. he was always very energetic and excited for everything. this quality makes him a great performer and he tries his hardest to make his bands concerts the best anyone could ever experience . demetri is the kind of kid who could make you excited for anything. he definitely knows how to pump up a crowd and he is constantly the life of the party. let's not forget when you give him a bud light or two. he goes basically nuts. point being, this kid knows how to party and have a great time. he's the ideal person to hang out with.
stubborn. despite all of his positive qualities he does have a couple negative ones. the one that is the most negative is his stubbornness. when he has an idea, and someone tries to improve it, he puts his foot down and keeps insisting that he's right. this sometimes makes his other band members want to knock him out but hey, they still love him for his other qualities. it's extremely hard to change his mind. he will persistently try to prove that he's right and everyone else is wrong. like i said, good luck trying to change his mind.
self concious. that's one thing dem has always been. he's terrified of being weighted and the way he looks. when he was younger he used to be a fat little kid who never really had any confidence in himself. he was picked on, especially by his own sister. the nickname he hates the most is fademetri. his sister still makes fun of his weight even though he is the appropriate weight for his size and age. a lot of people try and tell him that he's fine the way he is but he doesn't believe them. no one ever really showed him how much they meant to him. they also thought he was just a comment fisher and we all know thats what he wasn't.
on a cold december night, december 29th to be exact, marcella and ernest gave birth to a beautiful healthy boy. as marcella held the small infant in her hands, she looked up to her husband and whispered, "he looks like a demetri, don't you agree?" since his father was a big fan of mary tyler murray show he chose his middle name to be gavin and of course they already had the last name of parker. they already had a son of nine years old who was waiting patiently in waiting room. as soon as river was called into the room, his eyes sparkled. he was so happy to finally have a younger sibling. when they brought him home, they all sat in front of the fire and relaxed. just a year later they had tegan, but still wanted another child.
as a toddler he was a good kid. he was smarter than the kids around him. when he was three he learned all the letters of the alphabet, how to write them, he could count to fifty and he was already learning to add. that was pretty good for someone his age. he had help from his brother river. even though he was nine years older than him he always helped his brother out and played with him. when dem was four, his parents had another daughter named joelle. now, they were one big happy family and they were complete.
in grade school demetri was really shy. he made some friends but he normally avoided the rest. he had one best friend in grade school. her name was lilianne. they were pretty much inseparable. that was until she moved in fourth grade. dem was really upset, he even cried for days. he got over it because they exchanged email and then kept talking. they still talk today. at the end of fourth grade, his parents were called down to the office. dem was, also. they all were in fear that it was something bad but when they go there, the principal told them that it would be wise if demetri would skip the fifth grade and go straight to sixth. his parents and dem agreed.
in middle school demetri was picked on for his weight. he was a chubby kid, he still is a bit chubby. for a month or two, he starved himself and when he did he eat he made himself puke. that made him loose the ten pounds. he left it alone for awhile. actually, he was never picked on for his weight to bad anymore. there would be a few jokes, but he would just ignore them. he was still a straight a student and teachers loved him. they always thought of him to be a good kid and a terrific student. he also picked up electric guitar around this time. he taught himself how to play and people were surprised on how good he was. his parents were shocked when they heard him play with a bunch of kids from school. they were so proud of their son. his brother river was proud of him, too. everyone was.
in high school he still had those straight a's and was valedictorian of his class. once again, his entire family was proud of him. when he graduate from high school, his brother gave him a big hug and bough him a laptop. no one was more proud of him then his brother. he only had a couple girlfriend his entire school year, but he only had interest in one girl. she ended up breaking his heart and cheating on him. she also called him a fattie, and no matter how much weight he lost he'd always be fatmetri this really upset him, but he got over it.
now, he's in a band called love like poetry. he's the drummer for the band and he dropped out of college to pursue his career in music. yes, he was going to go to yale. his parents were disappointed in him then, but they knew that their son had a good chance of making it big. river also helps him out and sometimes sends him gifts here and there." "
hey, so i'm beth. i've been roleplaying for five years now. as well as this character, i also play no one. you can reach me by pm is fine if you need me for anything. i found cross your fingers by alyssa! and i'm pretty glad i did. here's an example of mah skillz. (:Thackery was very thankful for both of his parents to be very much alive. He loved them ever so dearly and could not imagine life without them. Even though they got into fights and constantly got frustrated with Thackery, he loved them. When they found out he was causing himself to throw up everything they ate, they we're so afraid and angry with him. Why couldn't he just accept his body? Why couldn't he just eat healthier? What did they raise? Those were the questions that flowed through their mind the second they found him leave the bathroom that one faithful afternoon. His oldest brother had been hinting that there was something wrong with Thackery, he could tell he was bulimic by the way the acid was slowly staining his teeth. He told his brother to watch him eat and then see where he would end up next. They did this, they made him a lunch consisting of a red jello and a small chicken cesar salad. He always ate jello first, so when he was puking everything up when he finally got to the jello he knew he was almost done. So, they followed him to the bathroom and pressed their ears to the door. They heard him gagging and puking. This made Marcella's eyes tear up. When they brought the issue up, Tegan tried to say it was her throwing up because of her stomach ache. But they knew that it was Thackery and they were not pleased. They almost sent him away to a rehab center in Dallas, Texas. That's when he told him he could stop on his own, and for the first time he called them the shittiest parents a boy could ever have. He still regrets every saying this to his parents. Ever time he goes into a deep thought about regrets this is the first thing that pops up. Thackery was suppose to love his parents, not call them the shittiest ones. He felt disgusted with himself when it happened. What if he had no parents? But the fact that they we're going to send him away made him feel horrible inside, but he just didn't want to go to a rehab center. With other teens who had problems and probably whined more then anything? He just didn't see it to be fit. Plus, he'd probably just fall in love with another girl with an eating disorder there and that would probably make it worse. He'd learn how to hide it better more then to cure it. Sometimes Thack wondered if he went to the rehab, would he have ever met River? Would Trey replaced him? He knew Trey would have kicked him out of the band. Trey was so serious about the band, so he didn't really didn't ponder on this so much. Anyways, he never got over his disorder and he constantly battles with it. Poor kid.
When she said that she had no idea why he was with her he just let out a chuckle and gave her a funny look when she called him hot. Sometimes Thackery believed she was the blind one and not Storm or whatever that girls name was. He was not hot, was she mad? Well, there was a lot of girls who would do anything to get in his pants but before River he'd be like 'eh, you don't want me.' and he totally would refuse to have sex with anyone. Then after River he was fine with having sex with her. She meant something to him, and he knew it just wouldn't be a one night stand. "Babe, I'm the farthest thing from hot. I picked you because you are absolutely flawless in every way shape and form. I picked you because you have the loveliest voice I have ever heard and your personality shines brighter then anyone I have ever met. You're the most beautiful, scratch that, breathtaking girl my eyes have ever set upon." He explained with a huge grin on his face. All of the above was completely true on why he picked her to be his girl. He loved just about everything about her. Even the few flaws she did have, it made him love her even more. How cute is that? Very. He had no idea what would have happened if he had never met her. That's one thing he thanked 'god' for. Not going to rehab and being able to be with River. Singing, oh he loved singing to her. Anything she wanted to hear he'd be more then happy to sing it to her. One thing he loved was writing songs about how much he loved her. She was the main thought of most of the songs he wrote. These two were just so cute, that you just wanted to squeeze them. I adore them, oh so much. Thackery's good friend Pierce was pretty jealous that they had such a close and cute relationship. Thack could see why, after all they we're with each other very often and always showed each other affection. A couple people even suggested that he should just get her name tattooed on his body. He thought about it a couple times. After all even if they did break up, he was convinced that he would always love her. She was the most influential thing in his life. They just ooze adorableness.
Boy, did she know everything right to say to him. I swear, if his smile grew any larger it would just explode off of his face. "Yes, you tell me this all the time. Even when you don't I'm very much aware of it." He said kissing her back gently this time. He knew after they unwrapped everything there would be plenty of time for them to kiss and that would probably lead to other things. After she began to open the shoes that's when began to open his gift. It was a brand new microphone and with this he got all excited. He felt like he was 12 and at Toys R Us, that's how thrilled he was with both of his gifts. They both we're fantastic and he knew the rest of his gifts wouldn't disappoint him at all. People told Thackery that it was very difficult to shop for him, well he didn't believe that now since River basically got him everything he could ever want in just two gifts. After he opened his and she opened her second one that's when he handed her the small box in wrapping paper. He had no idea why he wrapped it after he thought about it. He felt like an idiot, but hey it would buy him 2.5 seconds to see her wonder about it. Ha ha. Anyways, after he handed to her he got a bit nervous. Now was the perfect time to let her know how he felt. "This gift, is just a promise that one day we're going to get married. That sometime soon I'm going to propose to you. It might be next week or next year but I promise you it's going to happen. I don't think I could ever fall out of love with you. I believe that you we're made for me." Thackery exclaimed both with excitement and a bit of nervousness. He had no idea how she would react to this. That's what made him a little jumpy but he had a feeling she would reply to this in the most positive way possible. That eased him a little bit.
