Bio:

Name: Hollywood
True Name: Ezra James Katz
Gender: Male
Age: 16
Birthday: October 31st, 2005
Greatest Ambition: Just to be able to live without worry

Physical Description: Hollywood isn’t the tallest person, but he certainly isn’t short; he stands 5’11 and weighs around 155 lbs, giving him a lean build. That lean build is more muscular than others would ever assume it would be. This is not only because of the physical activity he does, but also due to the fact that he works out. He knows that in order to survive you have to be strong; he was lucky when he was younger, and doesn’t ever want to have to rely on luck again. He has olive skin, black hair and dark brown eyes, which give him two looks; a mysterious one and an adorable one…. That’s about the long and short of his looks though.

Distinguishing Marks: A long scar down his back from falling into the sewers.
Sexual Orientation: Questionable
Single or taken: Single
Best friend: Hazard

Personality: There are many layers to Hollywood’s personality: He is the outgoing, adventure seeking, skateboarding boy who doesn’t know when to call it quits and seems to have no fear; there is also the person that will do anything for anyone and doesn’t seem to notice others walking all over him; no one can forget the boy that just doesn’t seem to fit in and doesn’t seem to want to, that dislikes others for who they are instead of what they are; and finally there is the boy who disappears into himself, leaving what seems to be a hollow shell of a person. Although he may not be the easiest person to classify there are certain things that he is not. He is not mean (at least not purposefully), he is not judgemental, and nor is he discriminating.

Personal History: There are not many children who wouldn’t have wanted to trade their families for Hollywood’s, to be truthful he would not have traded them either, but the grass is always greener when you don’t know the reality of the situation. Ezra James Katz was born on Halloween night in 2005 to Raleigh James and Omri Katz, they were the newest and brightest couple on not only the Hollywood side of things, but the country music side as well. His father was a B list actor who was lucky enough to have been born good looking which got him roles in movies that were much better than those generally given to B list actors. His mother, on the other hand, was a very talented country singer and songwriter. Although she had a dedicated following, she had not been a star until she had started dating Omri.

They had been dating three months when Raleigh found out she was pregnant. Due to Raleigh’s Catholic upbringing three weeks after she found out she and Omri were walking down the aisle. They were young and in love, but as with most young loves they quickly fell out. By the time Hollywood was 4 his parents were divorced and living in different states. Omri was back in Los Angeles and Raleigh had chosen to duck out of the spot light and had moved to Sundance, Wyoming. It was a small city that was starting to grow, but the real call was the fact that this was previously the town that she had grown up in and thus where Hollywood’s grandparents lived.

When Hollywood first started school he was likely the most popular Grade one, maybe even student in the school. Everyone knew who Ezra Katz was and if they didn’t their parents did. As he was enrolled in a private school the gawking was at a minimum, but slowly as the years passed the others students found that Hollywood was not who they thought he should be. Instead of pushing himself outwards towards others, they found him recoiling into himself and not in a fad artsy way. He also didn’t give anyone ‘hook-ups’. There were no invitations to red carpets at his father’s movie premiers, nor was he on them himself, preferring to see his father’s movie on the DVD that were sent to him. There were not any concert tickets to any of the numerous performers his mother wrote songs for. Basically he was not trying to be popular and to the other children there wasn’t any benefit to being nice to him.

That was when the teasing and bullying began; it slowed down after they found out that Hollywood wouldn’t react, which just made things boring. Unfortunately the bullying made him turn into himself to the point where he had no friends and spent his time alone skateboarding or studying, the two S’s in his life.

When the virus struck, his father was among the first to die, just as many aging actors and actresses; “anything to stay young” generally being their motto. His mother who had chosen to age ‘gracefully’ as she put it wasn’t spared for much longer than his father though. By the time the ‘epidemic’ hit both of his parents were dead, just like most of those in his private school.

Although he didn’t have any friends he found himself aligned with the Mountain Lions, those in their ranks were the people he had grown up with after all. Even though he disliked everyone around him, there was comfort in knowing who those around him were or use to be. With all of the change in the world though, everyone was searching for their place and there was no one easier to walk all over than Hollywood, and he wasn’t really the type to stand up for himself, which at the time made him the best target for those who needed to prove that they were strong. Unlike before, it was not merely pushing and harsh words, now it was fists and slander.

Luckily for Hollywood, Hazard lived up to his name. On that fateful day Hollywood had been attacked in the heart of the city and had taken off on foot. All that he remembers is running and turning a corner and falling. Hazard had come out of the sewers to grab some wires from a store and had left the sewer grate open. Hollywood had fallen in, but he had also gotten caught on the edge of the ladder, which had cut through the skin on his back down to his spine. It took time, but his back healed and he found himself with people more like himself than any of the Lions had ever been. Usually the Carrion would have never trusted anyone who had been a Mountain Lion, but because it had taken months for him to recover, there was no doubt as to who he was and could be within their ranks.

Unlike with the Lions, Hollywood felt no open confrontation and slipped into his position within the tribe seamlessly. Nowadays he can be found riding his skateboard through the sewers, setting traps and spying with Hazard. Life is good for him, at least for the moment.
