[Name >> Jernej "Violin" Zgonc
[Age >> 14
[Gender >> Male
[Tribe >> N/A
[Rank >> N/A
[Nationality >> Slovene
[Politics >> Doesn't have
[Romantic orientation >> Asexual (leaning towards homosexuality)
[Appearance >> Jernej is a short guy, with short, curly and light-brown hair and uncoloured eyes, like a very light, almost white, teal, due to being blind, but he usually has them shut so you can't really see it. Although, being blind made his other senses much sharper. He's very frail, a little feminine due to his timid nature, with a pale skin and some freckles on his cheeks and nose. He looks helpless a lot of the time. Jernej usually wears shorts and a t-shirt, with a long coat over it and sandals on his feet. Both a strong sign he was probably very poor due to the worn out aspect of it. He has long, slender hands with equally long fingers, hands for playing a violin, which he always carries in a backpack with care. He also always walks with a cane, since he's blind and needs help.
[Attitude >> The boy's aspect says a lot of his character; he's very timid and doesn't speak at all, probably because he doesn't understand much of English - let alone speak it. He is, however, passionate about his music. Helpless and innocent, Jernej is a lone soul that likes peace and quietude. He feels very awkward in social situations, since he never really had a friend asides from his family. Although quiet, he's very hard-working and determined. He's also an excelent musician. His blindness doesn't stop him from playing marvelously. He has a big problem, however; he's asthmatic and has heart problems. Therefore he avoids running or being put under pressure. He's not a coward, but he's not very brave either. He has a low self-esteem, even though he's an inteligent young man. He can't be fooled easily, for he can actually hear a lie or detect nervousism. He can hear, smell, feel and taste better than most due to his heightned senses; being blind doesn't seem to annoy him. He accepts his disability very well.
[Notable History >> Jernej comes from a poor slovene family. They were farmers back in their country, which barely made a living out of it. His older sister had to go sell herself on the streets. His brother went to the city to find some work, which he did, as a mechanic's assistant. They were a very large family, too. Jernej was born the last. He wasn't really liked by the family due to all of his health problems. The only one who seemed to care was his older sister, that used part of the money she made to buy him medicines.
One day, when he and his sister went to town to buy some pills for his heart condition, Jernej picked the sound of a violin. He fell in love with it almost immeadiatly. The old man who was playing it noticed the blind boy alone, hearing him carefully. For sheer luck, he had two violins, even though one of them was a little worn out - which he gave to the boy. Enchanted, he started to practice right away. Although it wasn't perfect - nowhere near it, actually - for a first time it was reasonably good. From that day forth, Jernej started to play the violin, therefore also being able to collect some change to help his family.
On his fourteenth anniversary, his family had enough money to buy themselves a ticket to a clandestine boat to America, where they thought they could make a better living. Unfortunately, the boat had a malfunctioning problem with the motor and it sunk. Drifting unconsciously in the sea, Jernej got to New Pork's port, only carrying his clothes and his violin. As it is obvious, he's a newcomer to this forsaken city, being around for only one month and a half, which is probably the reason to have not been found by a Tribe yet.
