Meet The Rejects Cast No.1

Ethan Rowe
Age: Mid 20’s
Sex: Male
Species: Red Fox
Occupation: Street Artist and Skatewear Designer

Bio:
Ethan is a shadow of a shadow. His work and exploits are known across the city, but he remains an urban legend, and some even debate if he actually exists or not. With his passions for skating and provocative street art reigning supreme, he’s gained a reputation as a creative, but elusive force to be reckoned with.

Born in Central Brooklyn to an old school, working class Catholic family, he’s the only child, as well as the black sheep of the Rowe family. Ethan embraces his unconventional, rebellious attitude without apology, disregarding societal norms and modern judgments from every end of the spectrum. Labeled a "reject" and an "outlier", he wears these titles proudly. Now residing in Washington Heights, at the tail end of Manhattan, Ethan exists as a face in the crowd; that’s just how he likes it. Whether working on his latest tag, or simply going out for a thrash session: he’s often seen bumping MF DOOM, Run The Jewels, or the Beastie Boys, with his wired headphones serving as the perfect “Leave Me Alone” symbol.

Personality:
Ethan is known for his rebellious, defiant attitude and a rough exterior that he uses to defend himself from outsiders. He is sarcastic, often crude, and perpetually at odds with the modern world. However, his wit and biting humor are his primary tools for deflecting the emotional scars he carries. Whether it manifests in crass, witty comebacks directed at people who genuinely worry about him, or sometimes simply shouting at a slow walker, Ethan has clearly built a fortress around his heart.

But despite his confrontational, devil-may-care attitude, there's a sense of intelligence and perceptiveness underlying his actions, often revealing glimpses of a more complex mind. Ethan possesses a keen intelligence and perceptiveness that often catches others off guard, but he seldom shows it to anyone besides those he trusts the most. This comes at a heavy cost, as his cynicism and distrust of others often causes him to sabotage his own opportunities for growth and connection. By pushing people away, he avoids the risk of being hurt or rejected. His self-imposed isolation is a way to protect himself from the emotional pain that comes with closeness and vulnerability.
