Name: Gregory Ravi Viswanathan
Nicknames: Greg, Vish, Greg Vicious (self-appointed)
Age: 22
Blood: Halfblood
Appearance:
- Tall, thin, hipstery-looking
- He ties a rolled-up bandana around his head when he sings.
- If Sam was right, and voluminous hair is actually the ticket to success in the music industry, The Leodensian Collective (formerly Starship Enterprise, formerly Greg Viswanathan and The No-Names) have superstardom in the bag.
Personality:
- Moody, prone to arrogance, a little abrasive
- Strong opinions that he expresses in the bluntest way possible
- Rebellious!
- But also lazy
- Very intelligent and intellectual, but largely unmotivated
- He's 'That Guy': the one member out of a group of friends who's kind of a dick but people put up with him anyway, the one who somehow picks up girls despite seeming kind of dismissive and uninterested.
Background:
- Grew up in Leeds
- Only child
- His mother had an affair when Greg was fourteen, and his parents split up (in a particularly long, ugly divorce) soon after.
- Greg's been in therapy since the divorce -- a move imposed by his mother, who noticed his depression and acting out for attention. He often refuses to talk and is not sure the sessions are actually helping, but doesn't want to go off the antidepressants. So.
- He still lives with his dad in Leeds. They have an odd relationship: basically, Mr Viswanathan is too bitter and tired to censor himself anymore, and Greg never bothered to censor himself, so they trade sarcastic barbs and say horrible things to each other on a constant basis but seem to get on just fine. They rely on each other, in a strange way.
- Gryffindor at school. He skipped class most of seventh year and pretty much failed his exams, womp womp. Greg started applying for jobs in the Muggle world, enlisting his friends to act as fake positive references in return for various favors, and eventually got a 9-to-5 temp job at a call centre in Leeds. He HATES it. Oh, how he hates it.
- Greg is the lead singer of acurrently nameless recently named band with his friends Noah, Harrison and Elliot. He's arguably only the third-best singer of the group, and his other contributions are limited at best. He mostly brings charisma, fearless stage antics and a devil-may-care attitude to the table.
- Picks fights with Elliot constantly (it doesn't help that the two members of the band with the prickliest personalities are also the two with the most free time on their hands for useless debate).
- And, okay, so Greg's also a little jealous that Elliot gets to go to uni and fuck around with his friends all day.
Characteristics:
- Always slouches in chairs. He generally maintains the minimum ass-to-chair ratio to keep from sliding right onto the floor.
- His spelling, punctuation, capitalization etc. are pretty atrocious to begin with and worse when he drinks. Most of Greg's texts are nigh indecipherable.
Other:
- Likes working with cars, but never really pursued it beyond a passing interest. Also, his license was revoked due to drunk driving.
