Name: Mark Venier
Age (18-45): 22
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Gay
Personality: Fun loving, and not afraid to show his emotions, Mark is very good at managing himself. While he can sometimes come across as a little strong, he means well. Making others smile is one of the joys he holds close. He fancies himself a bit of a loner. While being nice and exuberant for other people, he still feels lonely.
Biography: For years Mark had led a fairly simple life, despite the depressing state of his school life. No matter what he did, he never quite seemed to fit in. Eventually, around his early high school years, he adopted a personality that was all different than how he felt. Rather than be quiet and thoughtful, he tried to be loud and laughable. While more personable and exciting to be around, doing this sort of thing has sort of become a part of who he is. It's almost on instinct now that, when he deals with people, he turns into this louder, stupider version of himself. Talking to most people becomes somewhat of a chore now. Despite this personality he's adapted, he's still an introvert at heart. Over the more recent years, he's in senior year of college, getting a degree in photography. He doesn't have a boyfriend, and only a single real friend by the name of "Kylee". She has been the only person to make Mark reveal his true colors.
Likes:
Climbing. He hates spending time alone with his thoughts, so instead he gets out a lot. What started as mere jogs and morning hikes turned into something more. He started climbing a lot. He'd become so good at it that one day he decided to start practicing what he saw in a few video games and movies-- "free running". He's practiced it over the past two years and has become very good.
Music. There's little else Mark loves as much as singing. He likes all kinds of music, from rap to show tunes, but he always loves singing sort of sad and softer music to himself. He'd never get up on a stage if he had the choice. Stage fright always overtook him.
Peace. There's nothing better than the feeling that the world is completely still and calm. This is the little joy that Mark tries to find in everything he does.
Dislikes:
Conflict: He absolutely hates conflict. When fighting starts, it reminds him of his parents and so he shuts down. He reverts to that shy lonely kid he'd been trying to cover up for so long and gets angry.
Bullies: If there's one thing he cannot stand, It's bullies. When someone decides to pick a part the "weaker" man for his own gain-- it makes him sick. And will, under intense situation, make him violent.
His Family: Mark always avoided going home for as long as he could stand it. His parents often fought. Usually when his father was drunk. One day his mother disappeared and his father directed his anger at the young Mark.
