    Personality:

    Intelligent - Gonzo is the kind of boy who can remember each paragraph he reads and each word it says. He, unlike most men can do several things at the same time and he will do them all almost perfectly. This isn't because of the fact he was born a seer.


    Strategic - Gonzo won't do anything without thinking about the consequences first. He tries to keep everything under control all the time, and with some things he can, for example, grades, homework, and his personal life in a bit, but things turn a bit more complicated when people surround him. Still he has a comeback for almost everything and he can think of a fast solution to almost every problem.


    Strong - Not only is Gonzo strong physically, but emotionally. He is a boy that won't let absolutely anything destroy him in any way. He will fight hard for whatever he believes and wants and will not let anyone get in between him and his dreams.


    Family Oriented - His family tends to be his first priority. He would do anything to protect them. He also does his best to help them in anyway. All the hard work he has put into his future has gained him a pot in upper class. Because of this position he tries his best to still provide for his family that are in middle class.
