pierce michael gold ,, Nobody's perfect, and I stand accused. For lack of a better word, and that's my best excuse. I'm the son of rage and love- The Jesus of Suburbia. The bible of none of the above, on a steady diet of soda pop and Ritalin. [App] Pierce has... actually only left New Jersey a handful of times. He's mostly just kicked around Princeton, although he has played at bowling alleys across the state. Ever since he was around sixteen, Pierce was selling weed, around eighteen, he began making special capsules that packed a punch. He was also working at his local bowling alley, and had joined a league as a semi-pro. He split from the group for a few years, and worked at Amazon for a while, before being incarcerated for a robbery gone wrong. Where to find him: Outside of classes and meal times, Pierce is almost always at the bowling alley in the rec center. Other than that, you'll sometimes see him at the school store. He also runs laps around the garden in the courtyard for at least a half an hour every day. Affiliations: None Pierce knows he fucked up big time. And, if he were a different person, he'd probably want revenge. But what he really wants is to do what he loves. It's his single minded focus- and while he's at Infinity it's going to be all he cares about. ...Until he figures out that in negotiating the cunning deal he did- he shafted himself... again. At first, due to his experience and routines from being incarcerated, Pierce is going to mostly keep to himself. It's really only a matter of time before he starts to open up some. No one ever died for my sins in hell as far as I can tell- 'least the ones I got away with. Pierce isn't the type of person that goes out of his way to make friends. He's more likely to get absorbed and/or adopted into a group. In fact, he feels much more comfortable and confident with a friend group. Perhaps if he were more of a social butterfly he'd keep better company! But Pierce doesn't really have high expectations for his friends - or anyone really. Do you keep your word? Does he at least marginally enjoy being around you? Then you're cool. Pierce is a competitive person, but he only really cares about bowling at the moment. He could potentially be persuaded into caring about something else though- so long as it won't get him into trouble. He is going to try and stay out of trouble as much as possible. He's probably going to say: "I'm going to pretend I didn't hear that," and look the other way a lot. As a friend, Pierce is a considerate person. He's very good at getting people out of jams- he's not much of a planner, but he can execute the hell out of something. He's great at thinking on his feet. » Like Family » Almost Like Family » Attached at the Hip » Partners in Crime » Best Friends » Really Close Friends » Somewhat Close Friends » Pretty Good Friends » Growing Friendship » Friendship Crush » Party Friends » Online Friends » Childhood Friends » Enemies Turned Friends » First Name Basis » Acquaintances And there's nothing wrong with me, this is how I'm supposed to be. In a land of make believe that don't believe in me. Get my television fix, sitting on my crucifix. As I wrote in his app, Pierce flirts with everyyybody. While he is very good at adjusting and adapting, there are probably going to be people that don't like that. Or maybe they're fine with him flirting with them, but become suspicious, irritated, or distrustful of him when they realize that he's flirting with everyone else too. Because of his calm and cool demeanor, and the fact that sometimes he keeps his responses short even if he's interested in something- it's pretty easy for Pierce to come off as insincere. Pierce has a bad habit of getting hyper-focused on one thing, and not being able to let it go. Sometimes the thing is very trivial compared to whatever he should actually be focused on! Sure, sometimes the thing turns out to be actually important, but it's annoying anyway. He is cunning, calculating, and opportunistic. If he sees a space to squeeze into something, he's going to take it. He never purposely tries to hurt anyone, but... Trying to do better often means that he's holding himself back. And there are also a lot of things that he skirts by or refuses to talk about- seems pretty suspicious to me! Pierce is trying to stay out of trouble, so he's unlikely to make any sworn enemies. He tends to forgive most slights- even if it takes him a few weeks. » Choke and Die » Hardcore Hatred » Mutual Hatred » Pierce Hates You » You Hate Pierce » Mutual Dislike » Pierce Dislikes You » You Dislike Pierce » Annoyance » One Sided Annoyance » Pierce Backstabbed You » You Backstabbed Pierce » Non-Friendly Rivals » Friendly Rivals » Friends Turned Enemies » Love-Hate » By Association At the center of the Earth- in the parking lot of the 7-11 where I was taught. Pierce has only genuinely been attracted to three people in his entire life. Yet, he feels compelled to be desired. It's a curse- he flirts constantly- even if he doesn't mean anything by it. Pierce just likes to dance. If he did actually like someone, he'd ask them out. He doesn't really desire much of anything- although if he actually were interested in someone, he might change his mind. But if he were to like someone enough to ask them out- he probably wouldn't be 100% sure what to do! He's used to flirting and playing games- not trying anything serious! He does, occasionally, get the urge to do more than flirt. Although in that circumstance he usually hooks up with someone that's very clear on, and very cool with, it being a one time thing. » In Love » Pierce Is In Love With You » You're In Love With Pierce » Current Relationship » Past Relationship - Good Terms » Past Relationship - Bad Terms » Past Relationship - Still Chemistry » Past Relationship - Want it Back » Mutual Crush » Pierce Has a Crush on You » You Have a Crush on Pierce » Friends With Benefits » Fuck Buddies » Fling » One Night Stand » Make-Out Buddies » Sexual Tension » Physical Attraction » Innocent Flirting » Shameless Flirting » On and Off I read the graffiti in the bathroom stall, like the holy scriptures of a shopping mall. And so it seemed to confess, it didn't say much, but it only confirmed that the center of the earth is the end of the world- and I could really care less. Pierce is going to be pretty secluded for a while. He's gotten used to prison, where he didn't really do much, or talk to most people. And because of that- he is often zipping his lips and biting his tongue. Pierce is going to be holding himself back- a lot. There is a part of him that misses being the executor- that relishes making a plan really work. He's actually never met another gifted person before. I think there is a part of him that's interested- but instead of asking people about it, he's more the type to just observe others quietly in class. He wouldn't be against teaching someone how to bowl 'properly' (or at all!), or teaching them some tricks to get a better house score. But there is a part of Pierce that will miss being part of a fun little team. He doesn't miss the coke, or the guns and shit- he misses loading up the car and driving to the boardwalk- or just getting up to trouble around the neighborhood, before they started stealing shit. Pierce is- at his heart- just a normal Jersey boy. He genuinely wants to change, and be a better person. ...With that being said, I'm not against someone from his past (perhaps even Frank himself!) suddenly showing up. Pierce is genuinely going to work on his power here- and good thing too- once he learns that he's screwed himself again, he's going to want to get the hell out of here... He'll just be following someone else's plan to do it. » Bad Influence » Good Influence » Mixed Feelings » Mutual Respect » Pierce Respects You » You Respect Pierce » Mutual Admiration » Pierce Admires You » You Admire Pierce » Pierce Is Protective of You » You're Protective of Pierce » Emotional Support » Stalker » Obsession » Fake Friend » Knew Each Other Outside » Anything Else/Other Anything striked out is unavailable for one reason or another.

name; Deven Kim gender; Male age; 21 orientation; Asexual relationship(s); Pierce wants absolutely NOTHING to do with Deven, but he wants him! He'll probably even let him dog-walk him in bowling multiple times just to talk to him. He also wasn't sure how to respond when Pierce tried to flirt with him- like.... Thanks dude? you say; "I'm not even sure what I want him to do yet, but I want him on my team." name; Teddy Lamis gender; Male age; 19 orientation; Unsure relationship(s); He doesn't remember it (or rather who,) but Pierce actually taught Teddy how to bowl. He also flirted with him, and his face turned so red he thought his head was about to explode. He somehow felt both better and worse when he realized that he's like that with everyone. you say; "He's... Uh... yeah." name; Andromeda Adams gender; Female age; 24 orientation; Homosexual relationship(s); Andromeda is going to be very interested in Pierce- nope- not that way! His power over space is astounding to her- and although sometimes it's only one word- he does answer her questions. She's pretty used to guys trying to hit on her- so Pierce didn't really phase her, and now he doesn't even bother. you say; "Space- wow! Incredible!" name; Dianna Jackson gender; Female age; 26 orientation; Bisexual relationship(s); Dianna likes to flirt, Pierce likes to flirt- they're a perfect match. But that's about it between them. you say; "Well, he does put me in a good mood!" name; Stephen Choi gender; Male age; 35 orientation; Heterosexual relationship(s); So Stephen's number one pick isn't going to work out. At first Pierce is going to fly under his radar, but Stephen is aware of many things, and he'll definitely notice that Pierce is a smooth talker... When he finds out about his record he's only going to be more interested. But if he learned anything from his piece of shit mentor- it's that the approach. Is. everything. you say; "He's got the goods, and he wants to waste his time bowling?" name; Haneul Cho gender; Male age; 23 orientation; Pansexual relationship(s); Pierce will eventually be one of the few people that will play any kind of game with Haneul. As for the flirting... Well, he'll be pretty disappointed at first that Pierce's attention was just attention- but he could certainly use the ego boost. you say; "I would have dated the fuck out of that guy." name; Casey Jung gender; Nonbinary age; 26 orientation; Queer relationship(s); Casey will, naturally, want someone like Pierce on xer team- and in class he's happy to do it! If only xie could convince him to do anything else but bowl all day long. you say; "Bowling is one of the most boring games on the planet- good luck to him." name; Helena Lutz gender; Intersex age; 24 orientation; Pansexual relationship(s); Helena will be disappointed when he realizes that Pierce's fleeting interest is just that. She'll still flirt and play around with him though. you say; "I almost choked on my drink when he told me he wanted to be a professional bowler. Like... for real?" name; Vincent Shin gender; Male age; 25 orientation; Heterosexual relationship(s); Bowling is barely a sport, right? Vince doesn't really enjoy it enough to do it over and over again like Pierce does, but he respects the guy. Sometimes they play, and Pierce laughs a little at how much Vincent supposedly hates the game he keeps coming back and playing with him. you say; "He can roll with the punches, that's for sure." name; Jason Jae gender; Nonbinary age; 26 orientation; Pansexual relationship(s); Pierce is one of those people that just lives in the moment. When Jason feels like taking pictures, he usually heads to the rec center. you say; "He's good at bowling. I don't think he even notices me."
