Personality:
Cicero (or CY) is a comedic genius. His remarks are often witty and can even reach mulitple levels. From simple to intelligent, it is within his grasp. However, the fact that he finds most sitautions hiliarious (even if they are not) can lead to some awkward questions and gut wrenching glares. He is obessessed with love and lovers, often throwing one away after only a few days. He is known as a player, but CY merely gets bored. And easily. Same boring flavor will not do it for him. He needs constant excitement and stimulation. Which is why comedy is his niche. You never know what's going to happen. He is pretty flexible in the way he deals with things and can change pieces of his personality to fit situations (but this only lasts for a bit before he slips up).
He is generally happy and carefree and enjoys spending his time rapping. He loves to mix lyrics and beats to create new ideas and expressions. Most of his lyrics come together to form songs such as 'I'm on a boat' and 'I'm Awesome'. He cannot be serious, even in music. He loves to read and will often carry around hard hitting novels such as The Color Purple, A Brave New World, and Catch-22. He enjoys the classics, like Shakespeare and enjoys the man's comedies the best. His favorite play to date is Julius Ceasar, especially the part where Cicero the poet is mistaken for Cicero the rebel and killed. He loves irony.
Cicero deals with the fact that his father, once a bold man with a great sense of humor rival to his own, is now an ex-gang banger and a failure. He is deeply ashamed of his father and wishes the man would either die or get a job. CY does not trust his younger half-sister Nia. She dresses like a hooker, does drugs, and is involved with several members of a local gang at any one time. He refuses to talk to her or his father, and often spends his summer at comedy clubs, friends houses, and at the library.
History:
DeAndre Young was known all through LA as the funniest man in LA. People would rather line around the block for his comedy show then a famous comedian like Jerry Seinfield. DeAndre enjoyed his sudden popularity and took advantage of the many eager women. He went by the 'First Night' policy. Meet them, take them home, never see them ago. He met a young woman with a sense of humor to match his. He charmed her enough to be allowed to take her home. He never even learned her name.
He believed himself to be rid of the woman and went on with his life. Unfortunately, she was not done with him. Nine months later, DeAndre was awakened by a pounding on his door and as his latest conquest opened it, she yelled at him, calling him a cheating good for nothing loser. It was the woman. She promptly informed him he had a son. She then deposited into his arms a small and wrinkled baby. DeAndre, not quite sure how everything had happened, put the baby on the couch and then went to tallk to his girl. She threw a book at him. It was a small paperback copy of Julius Ceasar. He saw the name Cicero, thought it sounded cool, and used that as the boy's first name.
Growing up, CY was a favorite among classmates and teachers for the funny stories he told. They were neither dirty nor inappropiate. People just loved to hear him tell jokes and stories. He won Comedic Poetry and Song prizes at school events, won the talent show with his routine. Everyone believed CY was destined for something big. But it was not what they expected. At twelve, merely two days before his thirteenth birthday, a comedic mask appeared over his head, claiming him as Thalia's son. His father was shocked. Mostly by the fact that the woman was a goddess. He did not mind his son much, for he had another daughter who was only four months younger then CY.
CY was immediately shipped off to Half-Blood Academy when his father learned of it. He discovered he could rap quite well there. He adopted the moniker CY and showed off his talents back in the ghetto. His father was in and out of jail, CY was forced to take care of his sister Nia. His sister was out most nights, all night long. His father sank further into ghetto life, never to emerge. CY clung to HBA, begging desperately to stay year round.
He goes home only when he absolutely has to.
