character facts ,
full name: Demitrius Cristophe Zervos
gender: He has a penis
age: 18
school year: Senior
art interest: academics, guys a genius
portrayed by: Dominic Cooper
appearance:
You suave and sophisticated delicious man you. Sophistication is very important to Demitrius, or at least the appearance of sophistication, he could care less about certain courtesies. He tends to dress always with style. Even when he is relaxing with friends he is wearing designer trousers or jeans, designer t-shirts that cost seventy-five bucks despite the availability of practically the same thing at Target for five dollars. He also has a vintage leather jacket that he quite likes. That jacket wasn't worth much, money wise, but it had belonged to someone important once. It wasn't exactly rare, nor is it very common to see Demitri dressed in the upper-class casual, but boy did he love his tailored suits, from casual suits to business suits, he was a fan of the sophisticated look they gave him. To him, dressing sharp was a way to demonstrate the intelligence and charm he tends to pride himself on so well.
As for his natural basic appearance, let's just say god was good to him. Born a native Greek, not a descendent from foreigners, and it shows. His skin is tanner than the average European, he wasn't tan enough to look Middle-Eastern or anything, more as though a white guy got a dark, natural beautifully toned and even tan that refuses to leave, if that description makes any sense. Demitri's hair is such a dark brown that it looks black in almost all lightings and backgrounds. His hair is thick and corse and oh so soft. He keeps it short, in a clean cut, more conservative style and it becomes him well. It's very touchable and it doesn't take too long or hardly any product to make it look fantastic and keep it touchable. Efficient, sophisticated with just a small hit of wavy locked flare, perfect for a guy like him.
As for his facial features and body...mmm. The tan skin continues down his neck and is pulled over his shoulders and down his back and chest. Nearly hairless chest too, naturally. He has a bit of stubble or whatever you wish to call it on the breast plate but thats it and all, which is good because he would probably force himself through waxing if his chest had been as hairy as some guys. Demitrius does take pride in his body and goes to the gym often. He is a very active person, not just at the gym and swimming laps. He loves playing sports, especially those played in water. Mostly because he loved water, but partly because he enjoyed playing sports like football and american football but he hated getting messy, and sweating. Jet Skiing, water skiing, wake boarding, surfing, he does them all. On his face, Demitri has large, dark brown eyes that show a smile before he even thinks about moving his lips. Straight teeth, manly pink lips, square chin, smallish ears, large adams apple. His only true complaint is his nose. It does turn up a bit, but it's decent.

character personality ,
personality:
Smart; Narcissistic; Cunning;
It is hard to describe the extraordinary abilities that Demitrius Zervos has under his belt but they all stem from a few key personality points. The most important of those being, the boy is smart. Not super genius math smart like Peter Fischer multiplying four digit numbers in his head by age four, but smart in the more practical sense. He catches on quickly and he doesn't mind doing the work if it's going to put him a step ahead of the world. He achieves top marks in almost everything and he has come to expect the excellent grades. He challenges the teachers if they try to say he was mistaken and hates criticism. Like any classic narcissist, when someone corrects him he tends to think they're idiots or that they're cheating. He blames them and never himself, or so he tells himself, part of him may know they're right. He is also smart when it comes to people, cunning and clever he tends to be able to sway a conversation to make it more profitable for himself, shine on him in a better light and it's hard to catch him doing it. He watches the persons responses to certain things and then modifies his own words and actions to make them feel more comfortable around him and like him more, but amazingly he always maintains a fair amount of himself into the words. He'll always be cocky but only sometimes show arrogance. get it?
Charming; Candyman; Promiscuous:
Oh oh oh, what a man, what a sweet sweet man. If there is one quality that shines through the most with this boy, it is his charm and way with women. He has the looks anyone can see that but he is so adaptive to the people around him while still keeping to his own personal flare and individuality that he is very good with people in general and he definitely has game. I am not saying that no one dislikes him, of course some do. More alpha males who feel threatened, his teachers, the husbands of the house wives he hits on or sleeps with. Tons of the girls who he's friends with might not even like him so much if they knew his past but his actions around them are nothing but charm cut and stapled to fit their personality like a puzzle piece. He doesn't even see himself doing it, its a natural flirtation in his system. It's what got him nicknamed the Candyman back in his old school. Girls just go for him, he tends to have surplus but he doesn't like the urge to cheat so he tends to only have open relationships and flings. He is in high demand and always has a date to run off to, but he not a cheater, nor does he take advantage of girls in drunken messes, mainly because he likes his girls conscious and not vomiting on his clothes.
Family; Ambition; Friendship;
For Demitri, family shaped him. Family is not what he sees as the most important part of his life but than again, family is not the most important thing in his father's life either. Read his history and you will know the example of a man Demitri had growing up. Demitri does not like his father at all but he does respect the man when he honestly shouldn't but Demitri was brought up to be ambitious and respect wealth and those who work to achieve it. So he respects his father and actually idolizes the man a fair bit, although he'll never admit to it. He admires his father's work drive and ambition. He respects the man for starting with nothing and then building up so much, self-made men Demitri respects a great deal. People who rely on themselves, who achieve the goals with the odds against them. Demitri may not have started with nothing but he is self made, he built his own website, does the work on his own and now makes more money than most upperclassman and he isn't even a high school graduate yet. But there is no doubt the cloud in his future has a diamond lining, not silver. His view on friendship are fairly average, despite everything. He believes in real friends, doesn't really have any but he believes they exist. He also feels that having blind and unconditional friendship with anyone is stupid, real but stupid. Same with romance. There's too much to lose if they screw up. So when it comes to real love, whether it be with a friend or a romance, Demitri tends to stray from it. He knows love exists but he doesn't want it. Remember the example of his parents again, his mother is in love, unconditional love with his father and his father treats her like dirt. He will never treat a woman like that, ever, but he's turning out like his father in a lot of accounts so what if he does? The solution, never get close enough for a serious relationship and there's no chance for him to be the husband his father is.
Guilt; Self-Loathing; Alcoholism;
These next few traits are all NEW ones, acquired after basically killing a boy for no reason but to have fun with him. Demitri is a bit of a narcissist but after him and his friends basically got the boy, Marcus, killed, he couldn't think of anyone being to blame but himself. Yeah maybe the other boys in the group but he was the ring leader wasn't he? He blamed himself for the boys death because lets face it, if he hadn't gotten the boy drunk, if he hadn't been the one using peer pressure on the kid, if he hadn't been such a dick, that boy would still be alive now wouldn't he? And so recently he began feeling something he's never felt before, self-loathing. He had never been self-conscious, he never worried about getting in trouble, he had always sort of seen himself and the people around him as invincible, this brought him down to earth a bit and he doesn't like being so close to the ground. So drinking... Scotch and brandy were his poisons. And when he does drink out of guilt, he doesn't stop. It's almost a suicide attempt, try to drink enough to not wake up. His guilt is at a very dangerous level, he keeps it hidden because appearances are important but get him alone and thinking about his life and it'll come out. That's why his game is handy on making sure his nights are usually occupied by some new pretty thing.
likes: scotch, good wine, romancing a woman for one night, paries, money, knowledge, money, the view of his future, comfortable couches, dogs, cigars, money, being admired, being right, suits, wearing ties, water sports: surfing, skying, wake boarding, jet skis, etc. his mother, his father's drive.
dislikes: being told he's wrong, critism against him, people who underestimate him, his father, his mother doormat qualities, most of his teachers, girls who cling, coke'a'cola, poor people, theifs, the girls he may fall for(avoids them like the pleague), 80's pop(80's rock is fine, 80's pop, no), dust, messy homes, slackers, awkward moments

character history ,
originated from: Athens, Greece[/size]
parents: Cristophe and Cybele Zervos
siblings: unnamed girl - 19 - was put in orphanage
other: none
living situation: Pent House in the Hotel
history: ( a decent length. birth - now )
Cristophe Zervos was not one of the lucky wealthy in Greece. He grew up in country, working for a living on a farm. When in the city for the farmers market he learned more and more about sales. Soon he got a job as a traveling salesman and he was fairly good at it. A Merchant to his core, he was still able to win the heart of Cybele. Cybele was a beautiful girl, young daughter of a wealthy lawyer around. She was head over heels for the handsome, well built(from farm work) man named Cristophe. Did she love him? Yes, very mush so. Did he love her? No, not at all. But Cristophe worked so hard for so long and earned so little that a wealthy girlfriend couldn't hurt. Yes, my friends this is one of those rare moments that the girl isn't the gold digger, the man is. He used her father's connections to get more widespread and soon his career took off. He no longer had to do the traveling, he ordered others to do the traveling and yet he earned the most. That's management for ya huh?
After awhile of earning up his wealth, Cristophe gained the standing of Upper Middle Class. He may not be the man who can buy fifteen football teams and a mansion in the 90210 area code but he was living very comfortably. Poor Cybele though. She loved this man dearly and she was married to him and yet she wasn't happy about it. He hardly spoke to her really. He was always so obsessed of getting everything in their lives to seem as perfect as they could be. But they never were. She loved him very much but Cristophe was bitter and controlling. He didn't seem to like his wife much and yet he would say he loved her in the way he "knew love to work." He loved what she brought him, the image, the connections and in a way it was as though dowries were making a come back. He treated her like an object mainly and the thing he wanted more than anything was a son. Though they tried, they just couldn't get pregnant. They tried for years and for years the whole situation was hell because it wasn't romantic or kind. Just determined, cold, focused solely on results.
After four years of trying, finally Cybele was given the news that she was pregnant, she couldn't be happier. But was Cristophe? No, no he wasn't happy, not yet. He wasn't going to be happy until he learned it was a boy. And regrettably, in wasn't. It was a baby girl whom Cybele immediately adored, fair skinned with dark hair. Cristophe was disgusted that his first born wasn't a male. He could barely look at his new daughter. He wanted nothing to do with the infant. He would ignore the child and then yell at the mother, blaming her despite of course the fact that it's the males sperm which determines gender. So Cristophe was determined that the young girl be put up for adoption. Cybele faught him and begged him not to separate them but he was convinced Cybele was honestly terrified of what her baby girl's life was going to be like living with this man as her father. So when the baby girl was 14 months old, they put her up for adoption and never saw her again.
Cybele was miserable and alone the next 2-4 years ((not sure if clare's juliette, his sis is 20, 21 or 22 yet)). Cristophe barely looked at her apart from when he ordered her around or fucked her, trying to get pregnant again. But she thought she loved him and needed him, so no matter what hell her life was, she stood by him. Then, just in time or so it seemed, Cybele found herself pregnant again. This time, thankfully, she gave birth to a boy. A Healthy little boy with some of the biggest eyes anyone had seen. Cristophe was thrilled with himself. He was thrilled with the little boy. His son would be perfect, successful, proper, everything. His son would get the chances Cristophe never had and therefore be even better. Which may sound honorable at first glance but believe me, Cristophes intentions were anything but good for his son growing up, but that's getting ahead of ourselves isn't it? Cristophe wanted to name his son Cristophe Zervos the Second, to start the line of namesakes that traditionally only the high society people did, which Cristophe had worked so hard to get into, Cybele didn't care about the boy's name, she loved him so much and she was so happy to have another child, one she wouldn't have to give up. But the more Cristophe thought about it, the more he wondered about the name issue. Cristophe was a fine name but his son was going to be the perfect member of high society and their names tended to be a bit more Western. So after the baby boy having gone without a name for three days Cristophe decided to name the boy Demitrius Cristophe. Thereby passing down his name as well as naming his son a name that even means wealth and prosperity and good harvest.
Demitrius, nicknamed very predictably, Demitri's upbringing wasn't ordinary, but it was extraordinary either. He was upper middle class, thanks to his father's work when he was younger, they made enough for a nice house and for Demitri to get the best schooling available in his fathers eyes. But growing up in Demitri's home wasn't easy. His father was everything, his rule was not only law but punishable by violence, no nothing extreme. And it slowly dissipated as the young boy got older. It wasn't so much these horrific beatings you hear sob stories about but more an example of the strict and controlling nature Cristophe exerted in his own home. As a young kid Demitri was always far closer to his mother. His mother was kind and loving and she tried to teach him the right morals but honestly, as a kid, he watched the kind and honorable one in the family getting walked all over and treated like dirt while the biggest dick in the family was obeyed and treated like a god. His father was so far pleased by his son though, overall, not that he showed it. Demitri was a straight A student, his peers seemed to follow him, perhaps his son should go into politics. Best way to start was a law degree. So that's what he decided his son was going to be.
In school work, Demitri was perfect, but as the boy got older, his mouth became sharper, he was starting to become a smart ass. And he got in trouble for it, a lot. Cristophe was not happy. He became more controlling although seeing as the boy was into puberty and was not a push over like his mother, the small bit of violence stopped when he hit age 11. Plus when he hit 11, he was sent to a boarding school, not just a private school. Demitri was once again a straight A student, and received praise for his intelligence but scorned for his behavior. With his peers, he was a hit. All the kids seemed to like him, admire him a bit, his spunk. And believe me, you would never have thought a 12 year old with so much game when it came to the ladies. Boy was trying to pick up chicks at twelve and he was pretty good. His first girlfriend was when he was twelve. Prettiest girl in the school in most of the boys minds, and she was British, her name was Diane, but you know relationships at that age aren't really real to anyone but other kids their age. Besides, after about a week, he was bored with her. Demitri even got two weeks of detention for hitting on one of his teachers and slapping her on the ass.
Things did not change as he got older. He got smarter, sharper and even more cocky and confident. But at fourteen, the young Don Juan was still frustrated with something in his life. His father, whom by now the boy resented like mad, claimed to be self-made and preached that he did it all for Demitri and yet Demitri was still more poor than most of his classmates. He hated this, he was better than them. And he could prove it. So he took his father's lead of he idea of being self-made. Up until this point, Demitri was actually a bit of a slacker, the good grades came so easily to him, he hardly had to work for them, and the charm with his peers, the sharp tongue that was all for fun, the reason he went for girls who were stubborn and hard to catch was for fun. But he wanted the money. So he put together a website, all on his own, took about a day to set up. It was a tutoring website, for a fee of course. At first he did all the tutoring but as it grew, he expanded. He made some automatics and then had the site connect and link to other FREE online tutors that's style of teaching was best suited for a kids style of learning through a free test profiler that he put together through some basic statistical analysis. He started getting paid from domain and advertisements on his site. The site grew and grew, and he got richer and richer. Now it's running so smoothly, honestly, he checks it once a week and that's all he has to do. This boy was a self-made millionaire by the age of 16. He's now a multi-millionaire and that's where he gets the cash to burn on his life, seriously by age 18 he'll have about 350 Million to his name. This website is world-wide and a huge name, not many people realize it's owned by a teenage prick though, but that means a lot of the brainy kids around here will have heard of the site. ((still thinking of a name for it))
That's when he really became the Demitri we all know and love today. Being self made there is more snootiness than being born obscenely rich because now anyone who isn't wealthy to him, could have been, and should be and if they're not it must mean they have a weak character. He is arrogant, smart, shallow, a charmer, persuasive, vindictive, easily jealous and feels rather invincible. He was serial dater and was very good at getting women in bed. At 16 he was even nicknamed the CandyMan because of the song. It was always his goal to get more and more difficult subjects into their beds with him. He found a cheap thrill from going for older women who were married. He loved going for teachers and got a few. He loved going for the wives of his teachers and then making sure they knew. And although he got himself suspended a million times, his grades were too excellent and his bribes were so great that he was never ever expelled. His father became increasingly ashamed and impressed by his son. His mother still loved Demitri and thought the boy was an angel.
He wasn't the only reckless, ladies man around though. For awhile one Petros Hayes resided in the same boarding school in Athens with as him. The two boys were quite a pair. Petros was born insanely wealthy though and it allowed him to slack off far more in the issue of school and grades. Demitri couldn't tell you how many time Petros Hayes was expelled from schools in a ton of different countries. On some level, Demitri always must have seen himself as more deserving than Petros, and yet for some reason Demitri was jealous of the boy. While the two were friends, the usual group of boys seemed to idolize Petros just as much as, if not slightly more than Demitri. That had never been before, and it was probably because it was a new face and someone who had been expelled so many times. But still, Demitri resented Petros a bit for it, he put up with it though because honestly, he too liked Petros as friend, and they were friends, a funny pair too seeing how similar and dissimilar they were to each other. They raised a lot of hell together, partied a lot together. Its not like Demitri was less of a ladies man, or less sharp with Petros around, he wasn't really even second place, Demitri just wasn't used to sharing the pedestal. When Petros was expelled and sent away again, no one was surprised.
When he turned 18 and was in his Senior year of highschool though, his more recklass side, finally got the best of him. After a party, he and some guys where hanging out, drunk of course, when they came across a kid from their school. A kid about two grades younger who actually admired Demitri and sort of followed after him. This kid was a tad nerdy and desperate but a good kid, with good parents. Demitri protected the kid from his pals beatin' on him a bit and put his arm around him, saying he was going to party with them. He eagerly did. Using a lot of peer pressure they got this kid to drink and do coke. After he had "loosened" up, this kid was trippin' like mad. When he accidently bumped into the wrong type of guy while the group was in the street, the kid high off his ass and feeling indestructable kept pushing it. The group and the kid all got into a first fight with this guy when he threatened the kid, when the man's gun went off and killed the young boy. The man ran off cursing, saying he wasn't going to kill him and what the fuck was wrong with them, the group all scattered except for nameless who brought the kid's already dead body to the hospital. Demitri of course lied and said he had found the body in the street, and he was basically believed because there was no evidence against him.
One thing the cocky boy didn't count on was the guilt. Tremendous amounts of guilt hit him, and instead of trying to change himself, Demitri did the next best thing and drown himself in alcohol, taking part in one of the most depressing traditions of drinking by himself. Demitri, drunk one night decided he needed to leave. But there was no way he was giving up his future so he picked a private academy in California, he had heard the place had some sweet ass parties and made his way there. He told his father that with the USA being the most powerful country in the world, that was where he needed to be for the furthest advancement of his future. His father bought it, his mother weeped and he left as soon as possible. Now he's riding the plane, on his way to Valkyrie, California. No clue that his old pal Petros is there as well.
