PJ Knapchuck (Epiphany)

THEME: PJ Knapchuck is a character in Epiphany. A technical prodigy and gifted student, PJ is also very street smart and knows his way around the urban areas surrounding him. He is quick on his feet, though his own physical ailments hold him back. He is embarrassed by them, though, and doesn't like people to know so he puts on a tough act. He tries his hardest to have a relationship with his older sister Winnie, but she does not make his efforts easy.

Personality
Curious and sweet with an inkling of rebelliousness, PJ is an independent, playful spirit with a crude and goading sense of humor. He is charming and easygoing, capable of striking conversation with anyone he meets. Intuitive and expressive, PJ is not one to be devoid of emotions. He is an open book and this makes him a trustworthy person, and a loyal friend to have. He is not afraid to do whatever it takes to take care of the people he loves, and is willing and fully capable to cross moral boundaries. However, PJ feels everything so deeply that he will definitely be affected by the decisions he makes, and knows not to pull the trigger on tough choices without thinking through them clearly.

PJ is self-conscious about his epileptic seizures and poor vision, and doesn't like to make his impediments common knowledge to the people around him. He doesn't appreciate or welcome pity.
