History
Born and raised in Roanoke, Virginia, Casper Sloane enjoyed a childhood where his every desire was appeased. He was the first to receive the newest toys and nicest clothes, due to his father Evan's winning the lottery a year after he was born. Opting to stay in Roanoke, Casper and his father, who soon after opened a small comic store to keep busy, moved into an old Victorian mansion that he had always said they were going to own one day. Casper's mother Denise ran off with an old boyfriend just after Casper was born, which has affected both father and son irrevocably.
Growing up without a mother, Casper soon learned that money did not at all equal happiness, and has since cut all ties with her, even though she has repeatedly attempted to contact him. Living off the interest of his fortune, Evan runs his small store with a huge popularity with the youth of Roanoke. While his father doesn't care for Casper's clothing and musical tastes, he and his son share a very close bond. When Casper was five, his father adopted a daughter. He felt as though a female presence in the house would be positive, as well as keep his son from getting too spoiled. And so, the Mediterranean girl named Kalli was soon living with them. The two children didn't take too well to each-other at first, but as the years went on, they became best friends.
As he grew, Casper immersed himself in music of all kinds, but especially hip-hop. Resisting the stereotype that white kids had no place in rap music, he soon began writing rhymes, and immediately fell in love. As his interest grew to the point of obsession, his father caved and let him turn a space in the basement into a small studio. Experimenting with different beats, from classical to house, Casper distinguished himself as an excellent DJ (DJ Dreamz to be precise), already having distributed CD's he's made throughout the local high schools and working parties in the city. On Christmas Eve, just after Casper had turned seventeen, he and his family attended church services as they did every year. This would be the night Casper's life would forever change. He skimmed through the Bible that he found in the pew in front of him, and came across a passage: "Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the Kingdom of God. Behold, I show you a mystery, we shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed..." Upon reading those words, something deep inside Casper stirred. He looked up at the huge cross that was before him, and passed out.
In his sleep, he had visions. Visions of realms that he had only heard of. Heaven. Hell. Those words did no justice to actually being there. In his dream, a great voice had spoke to him: "The seven angels stood before God...and another angel came and stood at the alter, having a golden censer...and the angel took the censer, and filled it with fire of the altar...and the seven angels prepared themselves to sound."
Then a single drop of white flame fell to Casper's hand, and he awoke. When he came to, he was safe in his bed, and it was later he was told that he had simply fainted. He shrugged it off, and went downstairs to open his presents. It was only afterwards that he noticed the strange silver band on his finger, crowned with a winged cross. Casper has since forgotten the incident, but cannot take the ring off for any reason. He doesn't feel right separated from it.
Personality
Casper is arrogant. Arrogant to a fault. Between the fame of being a school celebrity and the attention of the ladies, its given Casper a full head. His attitude is being foul-mouthed and extremely self-centered, but inside he's a pretty good guy to know. He's trustworthy and sensitive, being an artist at heart.
Being white and adopting the hip-hop look has gotten him a lot of negative attention as well. While most respect his flow and musical ability, black and white, some cannot accept him as a hip-hop artist. To them, he's just another white boy trying to be black. Casper shrugs off these "haters", pointing out that his skill speaks for itself, and goes way past what color he is. One of his major pet peeves is that he's often compared to Casper from the movie "Kids", which usually sends him into a rage, flinging insults at light speed at whoever said it.
One major fault of his is his lack of respect for women. Casper goes through them like their going out of style. With his charm and talent, combined with the appeal of his money, he's had a turn with most of the attractive female population at William Fleming. His sister speculates that since his mom leaving him under the circumstances that she did, he formed the notion that girls are nothing but nymphos at the core, willing to do everything and anything for sex, and can be disrespected as such. He's had a few girlfriends here and there, but dismisses them quickly when he gets bored. When asked if he's ever been in love, Casper replied: "Love ain't nothing but a chemical reaction in our brains to make sure our seed gets passed on."
Appearance
Casper is 5'8" and 150 lbs. His weight is constantly changing because of wrestling, but his build is chiseled, with lightly bronzed skin. He has brown hair with a hint of blond. It is curly to the point of a fro. He usually wears a hat or a bandana that matches his outfit to cover it up.
His clothes are hip-hop oriented, and always cutting edge. Baggy blue jeans, Timberland boots, and Fubu sweaters are his wardrobe choice. H.is brown eyes are slightly slanted, giving him an almost Asian appearance, even though he is fully Italian. He has numerous piercings: his left ear and eyebrow, and his tongue. He always wears a silver chain around his neck, with a charm that says "Playa4Life".
