O3 ─── ✴️ PERSONALITY & RELATIONSHIPS!

PERSONALITY. 

📰 vance is what you call a doggish individual. he can't help it. he literally doesn't give a damn, no matter how much he'll try to. he spends the day lounging around, waving around a little red lazer and wearing headphones. hell, he, has a artist of many years, still struggles with GODDAMN color theory. how's he supposed to teach it to a bunch of annoying little brats?

not to mention, he exhibits everything but exemplary behavior in class. he's literally made paper balls to throw at students and will pour water down their backs if their falling asleep and the laugh it off. vance is a fuckin' jerk. he's prone to underestimating students and their capabilities by hundreds of thousands of miles. they're just dumb kids to him. he's made it clear he's the only intelligent being in that classroom, and everyone is either sick of it or thriving off his snarky behavior. 

but, when it comes to art, he can't help but he a bit more passionate. he's not a bad art teacher, he's just a mean guy in general. his own high school art teacher was one of the best, while his middle school art teacher used to tear up his drawings and yell in his face. he remembers how that made him feel. hours of effort to have it sacrificed for the flaming pit of angry teacher. sure, he's an asswipe, but he wouldn't dare do such a thing. not everything should be bland realism, after all. people should have their own taste! fuck color theory, add pink and blue together if you want, kid!

LIKES. 

📰 vincent van gough. michelangelo. luis wane's cat art. cats in general. helping students. giving students freedom. coffee. cigarettes. spring color pallets. movies. the cranberries' 'linger', music in general. 

DISLIKES. 

📰 color theory. most students and staff. people being nosy and trying to get into his personal life. crayons. dying plants. minimalism. 

HOBBIES. 

📰 painting. scrap—booking. smoking blunts. nintendo wii games. watching movies. 

STRENGTHS. 

📰 art. digital design. computers. cat—taming (?). gardening. 

WEAKNESSES. 

📰 literally never fully sober. refuses to teach like a normal person. rude.  low-key an idiot. 

RELATIONSHIPS! 

MOTHER ─── aurelia sharpe. being interracial, vance actually only grew up with his very white mother. naturally people were rude about it. he doesn't like talking about it, no matter how much he loves her, he could never escape the stares or the people muttering. thinking his mother was some sort of saint for "keeping him".  aurelia is the only important individual in his life aside from his cat. 

PET ───  chanterelle sharpe. a bug—eyed american curl cat who was, yes, named after the mushrooms. he loves her little idiot self to hell and back, even if he really does get to arguing with a damn car sometime. the students already know he's really threatening to get rid of a cat and NOT his girlfriend. they were scared for a minute. this bickering is all in good efforts, though. he loves the annoying feline and the annoying feline loves him, back. 

SECRET. 

📰 literally high most classes. he always starts on a joint in the morning and has to take a shower afterwards, considering the headmaster is terribly allergic to cats and he'll smell like weed if he doesn't. it's surprisingly hard to tell, considering how much effort he puts into faking being sober.
