Fact Sheet (in progress)
Quick facts:
- 34 years old
- FBI agent (profiler) based in Washington DC
- Originally from Bahston and it shows whenever he opens his mouth
- Born August 14, which makes him a leo
- "Mild-mannered" and "polite" or really wants to seem that way
- Uses an AI with VR features called ARI to gather and investigate evidence
- Also uses a drug known as Triptocaine to offset the cerebral damage done by ARI
Appearance:
- Short, dark hair and very pale grey eyes
- Just over 6 ft tall, quite slim but not underweight
- Creased dimples in his cheeks are always visible but deepen when he smiles
- (which he rarely does, beyond a crooked closed-mouth grin)
- Face often shows signs of exhaustion, especially his eyes: heavy lids, dark shadows, etc
- Can also look sickly pale and sweaty at times
- Small scar near his mouth on left side, right by his dimple
Mannerisms:
- Shaky hands, from the Tripto/ARI withdrawal
- Strong gestures with his hands and arms, possibly to hide the tremors
- Very slight twitch of his mouth to denote amusement or wry agreement
- Halting and stiff speech when trying to socialize
- Awkwardness generally bleeds out of him like an open wound
Signs of withdrawal/ARI damage:
- Incapable of walking a straight line, prone to stagger
- Very pale and sweaty
- Bleeding nose
- Hand tremors spread to his entire body
- Can't handle bright lights
- Switches rapidly between insistence that he doesn't need Tripto and desperation to take it
- At his worst, outright hallucinations that bring on panic
Personality:
- A W K W A R D
- Can talk shop with workmates somewhat comfortably, but struggles with small talk and is easily shut down by even slight coldness or disinterest
- Tendency to roll with those interpersonal punches to keep the peace since he's aware of his own social failings
- Prone to moodiness and can be a bit quick to complain about small things despite how wildly he downplays any big issues
- However, can be very pleasant when people are patient/kind with him and makes great company when he clicks with someone
- Sense of humour as dry as dry toast, sharp but unique wit that doesn't often translate well to anyone else
- Can be fiercely protective of those he feels strongly about
- Wicked temper buried deep beneath his placid exterior that takes a lot of pushing to surface
Deeper nature:
- Workaholic to his own very literal detriment and damage
- Strong moral compass to a fault, in that he often judges himself very harshly for necessary actions taken in the line of work
- Bit of an obsessive saviour complex tied to his work
- Falls in love incredibly hard when he gets close enough to someone for it to happen
- BUT often loves from a distance because of self-worth issues and isn't one to force his emotions on someone he cares about
- Takes undue criticism/antagonism very badly when his efforts to placate aren't honoured
- Constant undermining of his own needs fuels his flashes of violent (at times) temper
- Tendency to escape from the world in general which ARI exacerbates
- Very internally focussed in general, far more likely to observe and monologue inwardly than interact
