[DeKlerk/Schuyler]
Full Name: Schuyler John DeKlerk
Nicknames: Iggy
Age: 17
Gender: Male.
PB: Alessandro Orlando de Marco
DOB: July 3, 1990
Hometown: Chowchilla, California
Apperence:
Schuyler DeKlerk doesn't really care what he looks like, honestly, but it's the fact that he likes to look nice and his 'everything must be just so at times' personality that makes himself look decent.
Hair: Schuyler, although 3/4 Dutch, has natural dark brown hair that will dry every which way, no matter how much he hates it. It's cut with those wispy, but sharp, edges and falls across his face however it falls. He hates getting it cut and has a dreadful fear of the barbershop or where ever he's getting his hair cut. It's something about those creepy ladies with the too long acrylic nails and the fact that they've all inhaled too many chemicals. Therefore, he does his best to either cut it himself or enlist a very good friend who he trusts to cut it. He does take good care of it; he mentally flips out if it dries out or threatens to get split ends and does everything in his power to keep it nice.
Eyes: Schuyler has pretty eyes. At least, that's what a lot of people have told him in the past and he rather likes hearing it. However, you know how people's eyes are supposedly the gateway to their soul? Iggy's aren't. Over the years, he has learned to keep his dark, dark brown eyes guarded. He doesn't want people knowing about him, deep down, and he'd rather not relay his emotions like that.
Everything Else: Iggy is tall, 5'10", but weighs about 120 pounds. He's a stick, but don't let that fool you. Although light, he can hold his own in a fight, but he prefers to avoid those kinds of conflicts at all costs. Really. Let's not go there. He's got fairly light skin for living at the beach, but that could just be because of his Northern European heritage. He doesn't like shorts much, but will wear them if it's hot enough, and he likes random clothing that's somewhat tight to his body. Not skin tight emo, mind you, but just close fitting. Like stated earlier, although he doesn't care what he looks like, he just can't help but TO care.
Personailty:
Iggy is definitely not the happiest or nicest person in the world. He's been through a lot in his life and because of that, he's not the most trusting person in the world.
Perfection: Although he doesn't want to admit it, Iggy is very much a perfectionist. Although he tries not to let it overrule his life, it's a very big part of it. It's probably the only way he feels that he can have control. It's definitely better than him destroying his body in any way, right? Definitely. His body being in good condition is part of his whole perfection obsession...even though Iggy doesn't see it as a perfection.
Shy: Iggy is very much a shy kid. It mainly stems from the fact that he does not talk much. He would rather be alone, listening to music than wasting his time partying and crap. That's a whole 'nother level to his whole perfection beliefs though...
Fun: Although it doesn't look like it, Iggy is always up for a good time. He LOVES having fun...as long as it doesn't involve either himself or someone else doing some extremely stupid. That said, "fun" does not mean sex, drugs and booze. No, Iggy likes clean fun...like everything else for the most part. He's not above playing Go Fish or Tag if he's bored enough. Heck, he'll play them with anyone. Hide N Seek is always a fun one, too...
Anger: Although it doesn't seem it on the outside, Iggy is a very angry person on the inside due to the accident he was in as a 6 year old. He's usually very good about keeping it on the inside, but if you do manage to piss him off, he's fairly scary to be around. He glares, he broods, and then, sometimes, he'll even go off and rip you apart. He's not exactly happy about this and really does want to get help, but lucky for him, he's got a pretty long fuse for people.
Creativity: Iggy is super creative when it comes to projects and stories. He loves art and if you catch him at certain times, he is rather...dreamy. If that's even the right word. He's a mad scientist at times and when the muse strikes, he won't be able to sleep until whatever is on his mind is on paper. He favors this part of himself and won't know what to do with himself if it ever dies.

History:
Schuyler John DeKlerk was born July 3, 1990 at 11:48 PM. Of course, almost being born on the Fourth of July was enough to make him want to say that as a little kid, but after a nice talking to from his parents, he stopped that. His parents, Jacob DeKlerk and Andria Meyers, really did love him, but the night of October 9th, 1996 changed their lives forever. They were on their way home, all three of them, when they were in a bad car accident which killed Andria instantly. Jacob died later the next day due to internal injuries. Iggy was orphaned that next day and the last word many people heard him say was, "Daddy?"
He was taken in by his mother's sister's family and he really didn't know what to do. His new family was already very close knit and they didn't know him well due to the fact that Iggy was completely refusing to talk. His aunt and uncle thought it was just because he was traumatized and gave him a few years to grow out of it, but two years later, when he hadn't said anything, they gave up and realized that this was now a permanent part of him.
School was never hard for Iggy, although he did dread those oral projects. Those were the few times he spoke for long periods of times. Oral projects. Of course, now that he thought of it, the only time he did speak was in a classroom setting. He couldn't stand getting bad grades and everyone was soon aware of Schuyler DeKlerk's perfectionistic tendencies. Kids loved him on their side for a project, but Iggy didn't care. He just wanted an A. During school, he became an avid soccer player. He loved soccer and threw himself into it. The kids on the team loved him for his quiet self and he found himself having a lot of fun. He played forward.
His life really wasn't all that interesting. He liked art as well and music and found himself able to draw quite nicely. He had placed well in a couple of art shows, but the moment his teacher approached him about more, he simply refused. Schuyler doesn't want to be known for his art, really...but what would he be known for? At 17, he's still quiet, still angry at his parents for dying and leaving him, but for the most part, he's okay with life and stuff like that.
