Freddie Tachys

This is modified from the original posted version, both through things I've 
developed more, and responses to that post.

--------------------------------------

     This is based on the idea I mentioned in an earlier message [to the 
MZML], a track team guy who often gets mistaken for a girl when in armor. 
This is more of a "story notes" format than stats; since I'm more into the 
visual and background aspects of things than the stats angle this is a lot 
easier to whip up on a whim.

G: Enemies:
     Ms. Knight      Nasty old battleaxe of a math teacher
     Shinowaki Kano  Star of the Crosstown High School track team,
insufferably
                        arrogant and self-centered to a fault. He also doesn't
                        seem to realize that his being BMOC at Crosstown
doesn't
                        mean much off the campus, and even less on someone
                        else's campus.
     Tricia Johnson  All-around jockette, determined to be the best athlete at
                        PSCHS. Reluctant to cause lasting harm, though, and is
                        civil and pleasant outside of competition. Does have a
                        powersuit, but it's not a combat model.
H: Romance: S. Amanda Pulverston is his girlfriend, but Reggie Gray wants to
     separate them, as does Jeanna Winters
I: Physical and Personality Traits
     Hair Color: naturally pink, and a swatch of it will never take to being
          dyed. Currently, the rest of it is only slightly pinkish brown
     Hair Style: midlength and spiky-- classic Anime Hair Syndrome. A pair of
          longish locks (one pink) hang down in front of his ears.
     Eye Color: silvery grey
     Thing Freddie Values Most Is: Being a Manly Man. His father lived long
          enough after the wreckage of his plane crashed to have Freddy
promise
          to "be a good man... make me proud of you..."
     Most Valued Possession: his powersuit (without it, he couldn't fly)
     Person Freddie Values Most In the World: SalAmanda
Other:
     Theme songs:
         Combat theme: "Hazy Shade of Winter", the Bangles
         Funnin' around date with SalAmanda song: I'm thinking about it.
         More serious date song: "More Than Words", instrumental version, or
              "You were Meant for Me", by Jewel.
     Notable Possessions: MCR-III powersuit, leather bomber jacket with an
         airbrushed picture of Amanda on the back.

This last part (song lyrics) probably shouldn't be included in any
archives, for
     legal reasons.

"Hazy Shade of Winter"
performed by The Bangles
"Less Than Zero" soundtrack

<music begins, soft guitar and "windy" synth, with vocals almost
     indistinguishable>

Time, time, time
See what's become of me

<music changes to driving rock guitar rock guitar and drums, the synth comes
     back stronger but with similar feel>

Time, time, time, see what's become of me
While I looked around for my possibilities
I was so hard to please

Look around
Leaves are brown
And the sky
Is a hazy shade of winter

Hear the Salvation Army Band
Down by the riverside
It's bound to be a better ride
Than what you've got planned
Carry a gun in your hand

Look around
Leaves are brown
And the sky
Is a hazy shade of winter

Hang on to your hopes my friend
That's an easy thing to say
But if your hopes should pass away
It's simply pretend
That you can build them again

Look around
Grass is high
Fields are ripe
It's the springtime of my life <echo> ife ife ife

<music gets about halfway to as soft as it was in the intro>

Seasons change with the scenery
Weaving time in a tapestry
Won't you stop and re-mem-ber me

<music speeds up again>

Look around
Leaves are brown
And the sky
Is a hazy shade of winter

Look around
Leaves are brown
There's a patch of snow on the ground

Look around
Leaves are brown
There's a patch of snow on the ground

Look around
Leaves are brown
There's a patch of snow on the ground

<music cuts off leaving just the echo to end the song> ound
