Mordechai Kyle Tanner
Morde is a terribly confused and troubled young man.
Studying psychology at university because it was the only course that would take him, he's a introverted character and is struggling to settling into university life. He doesn't like going out to clubs or drinking, nor does he enjoy the hectic lifestyle and independence. He's growing ever more lonely and stressed and its all amassing into something dark and worrisome within his heart.
The more he learns about the psychology of the human mind, the more he starts to question his own psyche. He's noticing traits of his personality he'd rather not and its starting to trouble him. He's tried talking to lecturers, the student services, even his doctor but none seem helpful. There's a lot to him that has remained hidden for several years, including his almost crippling self-loathing. He hated who he was, so he changed everything about himself in high school. It didn't improve his own feeling of self-worth, but the new persona he adopted seemed to gain him more friends.
Then, when he started university, he realised that he wasn't too sure what had happened to the old him, but it just wasn't coming back. It was gone and the new him was even worse. He straight out failed to integrate with his fellow classmates, only making a couple of friends from the off-chance that one of them remembered him from a out-of-school college class he took a year before and the other friend because he was sharing a flat with her.
If he's honest, his first year at university wasn't so bad. He was eager to embrace the new learning materials and style, happy to be away from home. Even with his trouble settling into student life, he did enjoy his first year to an extent.
Then summer happened. When he returned for his second year, his friends didn't respond to him the same way they did the year before. Feeling that he was to blame, the self-loathing previously ignored returned with a vengeance and now he feels like he's falling.

Mordechai has always loved skateboarding. Not because it was cool in the 90s, when he was a kid, but because its something for him to take his mind off the world. He dons his bandanna and his backpack then off he goes, skating about the local town and letting his mind wander. He still clings to the skater culture - baggy jeans and big hoodies, band tees and board shoes. To him, its an integral part of who he is.

Of course, despite all his personality flaws, Morde likes people. He really does - or at least, he tries to. He likes making people laugh and smile and if he didn't have such crippling anxiety when it comes to being presented in front of a crowd, he'd probably be a comedian. He has a robust sense of humour and an enjoyable way of getting people to laugh along with him.
For such a shy, reclusive boy, he can really draw people together in a strange sort of way. He's incredibly good at bridging the gap between groups and back in his High School days, he'd float between the groups of children at lunch time, delivering news and messages to and from people who would otherwise never communicate. He just likes seeing people happy and unified.

Official man, delusions grand and now I'm a free agent
I'm here to make a stand for causes I don't understand and make a statement
I fall short on knowledge, I don't even watch the news
Can't be arsed with college, it's nothing but a human zoo

Cause I'm a big boy an adult now or nearly
If I pull the wool back from my eyes I can see clearly
The world is at my feet and I am standing on the ceiling
And I fall, fall, fall, when it all comes down
And I won't be crushed by the weight of this town
I fall from the sky but I won't fall forever
I fall but when I'll rise I'll be stronger than ever

Big explosions crack through thunderous mountains
Hearts exploding, minds, volcanoes pop and blow
I'm not alone, I'm not alone
Who am I kidding? I'm sad, no ideas coming
It's driving me mad and I'm fighting it
IIt's turning me bad, I'm loaded, pages taking me over
I just wanna be home with all my friends and family
Mum and dad, it's closing in on me, I need recovery, coming home
I'm coming home and I need closure, I need closure
