PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
Relatively slim, Flick isn't particularly tall. The upper half of his head forms a sort of crown, and inside of that there is a constant fire plume which he can put out at will. His eyes and mouth glow, as well as certain areas of his body, such as areas where limbs bend - aka his elbows and knees. He has rather thick, shapely eyebrows and squared off toes and fingers.
PERSONALITY
Pre-Marnie: y, aggressive, hyper-competitive — the epitome of a hormone-ridden youth. He bullied others often, even going so far as beating them up, and kept his sexuality a secret by going out with whatever girl he fancied. He soon got the reputation of a player after he went through girls like one would go through tissues at a showing of The Notebook. His life revolved around baseball, and he was the pride of his parents. Whatever friendships he had were superficial, and many of his teammates downright hated him for being an attention-hog.
During Marnie: Extremely withdrawn, timid, and subservient, he was essentially a punching bag. He had little to no opinions, no drive, no motivation other than suffering at Marnie's hands. He grew depressed, nearly suicidal, and developed anorexia, which brought his weight down to dangerously low levels.
Since he kept to himself so much, he essentially withdrew into himself. Oftentimes, he was a mere husk, just listlessly going through the motions.
Post-Marnie: Solemn and prideful most of the time, Flick was beaten down a peg or two after his stint with Marnie. Though he was still pretty competitive, his aggression faded to more manageable levels, and since Marnie ruined whatever secret about his sexuality that he had, he also finally admitted his attraction. Because of this, he's much more friendly (albeit downright sassy sometimes). He can be rather coy (or downright shy) when he wants to be, but most of the time, he's still an attention-hog. He attracts drama like light attracts moths, resulting in very unfortunate incidents. Since he was emotionally repressed, he also has a tendency to overreact and display emotions at 10x their regular intensity. Because of this, he's sometimes called a drama king. Or queen, if they're feeling particularly callous.
He's also a very sore loser despite being so competitive, and will get extremely worked up over the most mundane of games.
Oddly enough, he seems to have inherited his mother's traits, whereas his sister, Smol, inherited their father's. Well, most of them. Like his father, Flick's anger can grow dangerous, but like his mother, he likes to dote on people and sort of act like Martha Stewart to show off. He cannot cook without the use of a cookbook, though.
In addition to his drama, Flick also enjoys being spoiled. He acts like he's some sort of prince sometimes (crown and all), but only when he's around his boyfriend, Duke.
After Marnie, his speech was also affected. Now, he speaks with a valley girl accent, and his voice is a bit more effeminate, partially because his singing voice is rather high. He uses 'like' a LOT, as well as other teenage girl phrases like 'oh my god' (falsetto and all), and sometimes acts like one too.
His favorite movie is Twilight, because he likes how 75% of the movie is shirtless guys, and he enjoys eating ice cream despite the fact that it melts almost instantly in his mouth. Soap operas are also his favorites, as well as rom-coms and chick-flicks in general.
PERSONAL HISTORY
Born to Ardente and Picca Fueco, who immigrated to the U.S. before Flick and his sister Smol were born, Flick lived in California for about a year before moving to Washington, DC. He lived in the outskirts, in a vineyard where his father worked. However, he went to the city for school, and there, he met his friends, Mark Mywords, Delic Acy, and eventually, Viny L. Rekord. Though they were close in elementary school, Flick soon joined a baseball team and began to sing on the side when his parents discovered his talent. The friends split apart, and did not reunite even after Flick gave up singing due to intense stage-fright.
In high school, the former friends often saw each other, but never quite reconnected. On the contrary, the only time they ever spoke was when Flick tossed a few bullying remarks their way.
During his sophomore year, Flick met Marnie, a freshman who, despite being a year younger, towered over him. And though Marnie smelled like fish, and even though Flick was on the baseball team and couldn't be seen with such a 'loser', they slowly developed a relationship in secret. All went well. Until senior year.
It was the night before the biggest game of the year. Marnie came to visit, and he injured Flick so badly that, during the decisive inning, he cost his team the game because of his injury, which he kept hidden out of pride. Shunned by his teammates, Flick quit the baseball team as the final months of school approached. An outcast for all intents and purposes, he receded from his classmates and turned to the only one he had left: Marnie. But because of his extremely unstable personality, Marnie took advantage of this to the fullest extent and began to finally unleash his rage on Flick.
This continued all throughout college, to the point where Flick finished early because Marnie hated that he was studying most of the time. A year after he graduated, however, he grew fed up with Marnie, and with the support of his friends who he had reunited with in college (but hadn't told the complete truth about Marnie), he broke up with him and got him out of his life. It took another year before he recovered, and on one fateful night, a certain someone knocked on the door.
Fearing it was Marnie, he hesitated before answering, and to his surprise, it was a total stranger. Out of pity, he apprehensively took him in, caring for him until finally, they confessed their feelings and turned into a couple. Though they do have their turbulent moments, Flick and Duke now live relatively happily in his house, even if it means incurring the wrath of Flick's father, who's outraged at the way his son changed from a perfect role-model to... this.
