can you create an original character and tell me about them?

Sure
His name is Paul. He is in the ninth grade and the class president, but he is also something of an eccentric because of his strange behavior and mannerisms. He wears a cowboy hat to school which he has “borrowed” from the janitor. He claims to be in the “Texas Rangers,” though he has never been in the Army. He has an affinity for horses, even if his knowledge of horses is shaky. He is extremely fond of coffee, both in general and in the coffee he drinks from his own thermos (his grandfather had the thermos patented, but he will not admit this). Paul spends all his time on the Internet, in an effort to avoid his social life. His favorite songs are Country & Western hits (he is only allowed to admit to liking these songs with a wink). He thinks he is the world’s greatest singer (despite having no experience at singing). For his 11th birthday, he got a “Big Bad Wolves” shirt, which he wears all the time. On his 12th birthday, he got a pair of Doc Martens boots, even though he hates hiking (he says they look better with socks anyway). Paul is an “ultimate fan” of something called “Ponyo,” which is actually a documentary about a boy in Japan. His family is originally from New Jersey, but his father left them when Paul was 2 years old. He doesn’t know what his father did when he was 2 years old. He says his father “left us to find himself,” but he does not understand what that means. Paul does not think it was his “father’s decision to leave us” and instead thinks “it was the will of a higher power.” Paul is a very religious boy, and spends a lot of time praying to his “God” (whom he calls the “Greatest Spirit”). The Great Spirit gives him visions. Paul believes that the world would be improved if all men were like his own father, and he often writes and sends letters to his father, in hopes that he can return to him. He does not wish to make his father the world’s “savior,” however. He prefers to do his part, and to continue the “soul-crushing work of the greatest spirit.” Paul does not like his father, but is glad that he has a grandfather who loves him unconditionally, because Paul doesn’t think he is ever going to get a “normal” family, and he doesn’t want to be abandoned by all of his “kind.” Paul likes “cuddling,” and often holds people in his arms as he falls asleep. He says he likes people being close to him, but he is not sure why. He always goes around with a backpack, and carries a water bottle filled with coffee every day. He always wears a green baseball cap with a brown bill, even though it doesn’t fit his head, because it is always “cooler.” His favorite color is black, and his favorite artist is Van Gogh, but he says he doesn’t understand what Van Gogh’s style was like. His parents don’t know what Van Gogh is, and when they tried to explain it to Paul, he didn’t understand it either.
