History: Gerard Arthur Way was born April 9th, 1977 in Newark, NJ. His parents moved soon after that to Belleville, NJ one of the shitty little towns in Essex County within spitting distance of Manhattan. He went to art school and got a BFA in Cartooning but after seeing the September 11th attacks from the ferry while on his way to work at the Cartoon Network he quit his job and got a part time job working at Barnes & Noble with his little brother, where he stayed until a series of extremely unlikely events led him to move to Chicago in January of 2007.

He's had a lot of trouble adapting to life due to the extent of his differences from "normal" humans, and the death of his maternal Grandmother Elena four years ago hit him very hard, since she had the same condition that he and his brother do (though both she suffered from far less marked differences, much like Mikey does) and was one of the few people who accepted him for who he was.

Before he moved to Chicago he was frustrated with where his life seemed to be headed, and pretty much hated that he was a thirty year old virgin who lived with his brother in his parents' basement, but was terrified that he wouldn't be able to hack it in the outside world. But he wanted a change. A chance to really live. And when Frank offered one to him, he took it.

Now he's an almost-32 year old definitely-not-a-virgin, living with his brother in a condo on the 74th floor of the Trump Tower. His life is more complicated than he could possibly have expected it to be three years before, but he wouldn't trade it for the world.

Personality: Before moving to Chicago, Gerard had always been very withdrawn for fear of being noticed and "spotted", as well as because of the complicating factor of his power. He has very poor control of his body temperature and gets lethargic when he's too cold, which does nothing for his personability. But when he's warm and among friends he's smart mouthed and funny, very sweet and well meaning, even though he really doesn't know what to do with most human emotions, much to his endless frustration. He really just wants friends, people who understand him, since he's somehow managed to make something of himself and to find a way that he can live in society with the problems his "powers" bring him.

Connections: Living with Mikey Way, next door neighbors and ever so much more with Frank Iero, friends with complications with Brendon Urie, just good friends with Kristin Chenoweth and Sharon Kihara.

Availability: In one of the most complicated poly sprawls ever, with Frank as his primary and Mikey taking up a whole lot of his emotional energy completely outside of the naked sexy funtimes. But it's not like that would stop him.

Orientation: Snakey? He's got a big disconnect between attraction and sexual activity, but he's getting better at managing it in a non-creepy way all the time.
