Very Much Alive

Summary

Frank Iero was the odd little emo kid who listened to The Smiths and Black Flag. He never really fit in with the other kids. He was picked on by the jocks but also befriended by a few. Just another average life for the average Jersey kid. That all seems to change when the new art teacher enters his life...

Characters

Frank Iero

Frank is a senior at Belleview High. He's currently 17, almost 18. Frank has always had a passion for music, his guitar Pansy, comic books, and coffee. There are problems in his life, but hey, who doesn't have some?

Mikey Way

Mikey Way is 17-year-old high-schooler at Belleview High. He is an acquaintance of Frank's. They share a lot of the same interests and just so happens to be Mr. Way's younger brother. Mikey is really into arts and crafts (he's a bit of a dork) but can also be mysterious and introverted.

Mr. Gerard Way

Gerard Way is the new 23-year-old art teacher at Belleview High. He's got a dark past, but believes being around younger people will do him some good. When he meets a certain student, he realizes how much good it will do him... Gerard is always wearing waistcoats, ties, and is constantly dyeing his hair. Mr. Way is going to keep this year interesting.

Ray Toro

Ray Toro is the metal-loving, guitar-rocking friend of Frank. Ray is quiet (usually plugged into his iPod) and occasionally has spontaneous outburts. He's kind of the protector of the group, watching over everyone and making sure they all stay sane for their last year at Belleview.
