Cerberus

Personality:   Hey! I’m Cerberus, nice to meet ya! I know, I know, my name a little weird, but ain’t it awesome? I mean, in Greek mythology, Cerberus is the name of the three-headed dog that guards the gates to the underworld! That’s seriously epic, to be honest, and I’m not just tooting my own horn, I swear! Anyways, um, I play soccer and hope to get a sports scholarship for it! My dream is to become a professional soccer player, but if that doesn’t work out, I wanna be a math teacher, and be beloved, haha! Cerberus is my birth name! It might seem weird, but my parents are, um, huge fans of Greek mythology. Especially my dad. He's read and memorized probably every book on Greek mythology there ever was. He thought it'd be really cool to give me a name with some significance like that. So, that's how I got the name Cerberus! It's one I've never been embarrassed of! You just never grow out of Greek mythology, I swear! It's like, when you find a good story, like the story of Cerberus and the gates to the underworld, you just can't get it out of your mind! I mean, how could you not wanna be named after a 3-headed dog who guards the gates to the underworld after hearing that story? It's just awesome, I tell ya! The underworld in general just has that kind of cool mystique about it, you know? Like, everyone wants to know what happens there, but no one ever comes back from there, so nobody ever finds out! So it's just like this big mystery, and man, I love mysteries! The unknown, you know? Honestly, I get into fights pretty often. I don’t mean for it to happen, it just… does. On bad days, I come home with blood dripping down my face and bruises all over my body. It hurts, but what can I do? I’ve got a bit of a temper, and these guys — the delinquents in my school — just know how to make me tick. My parents say that it’s because I’m an “young and reckless teenager,” and to that I say, “I’m eighteen.” Aside from that, I’m a pretty enthusiastic and passionate guy! I‘m pretty sociable, but I don’t like lettin’ people get too close to me. They can be untrustworthy at times, y’know? Us humans ain’t all sunshine’s and rainbows. Whenever I do get into fights, I dress all my wounds myself — which, usually leads to my wounds not getting bandaged probably and getting infected. What can I say? I’m not a very meticulous guy. But though people do offer, I don’t like it when people see my injuries. It makes me guilty, for some reason. I’d rather they ignore my battered and bruised body than to make a comment on it, even if they have good intentions. I’m Latino, by the way! I have chocolate brown hair and hazel eyes with gold flecks, as well as tanned skin and a well-sculpted body, if I do say so myself — which, I do! I can speak Spanish and English fluently, though English is my mother language, because I was born here in the United States after my parents immigrated here.
