Lewis Jeremy Adams

I'm trying to decide whether or not to change his name to Lucas, instead. Read through his character and see which one you like best. This is a supporting character in my Death Book. He also may or may not be loosely based on Adam Hardy...

Lewis is a boy who doesn’t care what people think. He doesn’t fold to any norms at all. He’s most recognized for his large hat collection that contains hats from various cultures and centuries, and well as various outlet stores. If anyone were to observe him over a lengthy period of time, they would realize that each hat signals a different mood that Lewis is in at the moment.
Besides the hats, Lewis has a very large nose that people have associated with Nintendo’s Mario brothers. He has thick brown eye brows over unassuming brown eyes, a relatively small forehead, prominent cheek bones that are further defined by lengthy sideburns, wide ears, and a soft jaw. He’s quite tall (roughly six feet) and broad-shouldered, but most of his peers consider him short because of his consistent stoop. His hands and feet are like bear paws. His shoulders and elbows are knotty and modestly muscular, but mostly knotty.
He was home-schooled until Junior High, after his mother (who calls him L.J.) overheard him talking to his pet snake and decided he needed to experience a more social environment. This could explain his self-isolation. In a tiny high-school, in a grade that’s known each other since elementary school, Lewis is mostly an outcast. People have tried to place him into different cliques. Some people consider him a Nerd, because he’s so smart in class, but he doesn’t associate himself with the Scholastic Team (called “Nerd Club” by everyone not in it) because he doesn’t share the same D&D interests. Others have tried to place him in the Goth’s group, because of his preferred wardrobe (usually along the lines of a turtle neck, leather jacket or grey trench, black wristbands, sometimes a scarf, and whatever hat he’s in the mood for). His favorite color is actually green, but he doesn’t wear it too much because then it wouldn't be special.
{He’s very good with cars and electronics. He’s hobbies, aside from his reptile collection, is to dismantle and reassemble cars, after which they usually run a lot better. He wants to go to a mechanics college in Washington and open his own garage someday. }
Most people think Lewis doesn’t have a sense of humor because he seems very stoic at school. However, those who know him best (i.e. his extended family), would say he has a very dorky sense of humor, involving things like puns and sarcasm. He isn't very opinionated and doesn’t plan on voting when he’s 18 years old.
Lewis {Adams} does want friends, despite his self-imposed isolation. He just doesn't want friends who are “plastic,” or too many of them. He thinks one or two true friends would be plenty.
