Ilyas- The Green Jacket

First up, theres are our dear hero, Ilyas. Hes an average kid, whose parent are really protective of him, and no wonder, cos his supposed to be the heir of the throne of Java(or something to that extent), but see, he is only one of the few heirs thats left, and according to the prophecy(ie: see The Prophecy) the heir shall become king through Fire and flame. The prophecy also states this will only happen ata point of time when things are getting bad, and thats where the evil arch enemy comes in(ie: see The Politician). But again im getting ahead of myself. i wanna talk about my hero.
As Yet, Ilyas does not have a last name. But he is just ending his secondary school days, starting on his first three months of his 17th year, and he really is trying to find himself. He wants to do art and stuff like that, but his parents, ever thinking of his future, wants him to strongly do something safe, like engineering or teaching.
Coming from a background of single sex schools, this is also a time to introduce girls into his life, of which i shall take much joy. ill add a few experiences of my own, and if its a little obvious, i beg ur forgiveness.. but itll be funny, i kid u not. :)
He is quiet when with strangers, shy when talking to girls,can be loud when with his mates, always cautious. He has a lot of good in him, yet has a naivete and innocence of a lost duckling( y duckling? i have no idea). But he is also capable of great things, only he lacks the self belief to do this. Thus, he has his two friends, the Gangster(i havent decided his name) whom he saves one day, and his mentor, a man who seems to (almost) pop up unannounced to give him advice and comfort when he needs.
Whew.. thats a lot. ill keep on thinking of Ilyas, and hope i can come up with more.. but as the great stephen king says, " Just write" (or sumting to that extent).
