The Neighbor

My neighbor was one of my closet friends. He was snarky, quick-witted, and sarcastic. Truly a deadly combination. Those weren't exactly amazing talents to have, but in his situation, they were a way of survival.

Mental characteristics

Personal history

He grew up in a home similar to mine. Harsh, rough, not exactly friendly. We talked about this and we understood each other in ways my best friend couldn't. But we often argued and bickered and were almost constantly snapping at each other.

But we were still friends bonded together by harsh households and rough lives. He came over to my house often, just like I went over to my best friend's house. Only, unlike me, he complained. He nearly shouted from the rooftops how good my friend had it.

Whenever we were together he would make jokes about how nice and clean my friend's room was, and how nice his PlayStation was, or how neatly his lawn was mowed. Only to pass them off as jokes. But my best friend true to his character, laughed along with him.

Personality Characteristics

Virtues & Personality perks

My neighbor, although negative quite a bit of the time, had an amazingly sharp tongue. He cut bullies in half, and sliced teachers down the middle. And for the most part, they weren't bad. Sarcasm, quick-wittedness, they were his defense. The tools he used that made him feel powerful.

Vices & Personality flaws

My neighbor isn't the most attentive person in the world. He tends to focus on himself and his problems and wallows in self-pity. He never blames himself for his situation, but ends up blaming others. And even though he's in a bad situation, he has never looked for a way to better himself.

Instead he decided to live in his self-pity and wait for someone to force him out. He wouldn't do it by himself.
