The Mysterious Romantic--
Name: Skylar Josen
Age: 18
Birthday: October 1
Height/Weight/Athletics: 6', 140 lbs of pure muscle, works out and plays soccer for recreation
Occupation: Guitarist/Vocalist in a band
College or High School: College - Majoring in creative writing/music, minoring in the arts
Appearance: Skylar has black hair cut in an emo/scene style. He has bright blue eyes, but sometimes wears bright purple contacts. He has snakebites, his ears gauged (but not very big) and tends to wear black eyeliner and dress in skinny jeans, with band tees on a casual day, or collared shirts with a tie on formal days.
Personality: Surprisingly enough, Skylar comes across as shy, because he's so quiet and tends to keep to himself a lot of the time. Really, he just spends a lot of time thinking and observing the world around him; there's not much that he doesn't miss. He's very into music, writing (mostly poetry), and drawing. When he first gets to know someone, he comes across as kind, but slightly aloof. Once you get to know him better, however, his sweet, romantic, and caring side comes out. He's the type of guy who will stay up all night with an emotionally distressed friend, doing everything that he can to help them. He's a helpless romantic, believing that everyone has a soul mate, a perfect other half - but he doesn't know if he'll ever find his, because he feels like he's done too many bad things to deserve her.
History: He had what seemed, on the outside, like the perfect life. His family, which consisted of his mother, father, and older brother, were rich. He was given everything he wanted, and even some things he didn't! Despite his tendency to isolate himself at school, he was popular, always being followed around by many lovesick girls and guys who wanted to be like him. Nobody knew that his brother had been molesting him since he was ten years old, and that he didn't tell anyone because his brother threatened to kill their parents. Nobody knew that he cut himself, and wrote depressing poetry to deal with the pain. Finally, when he was sixteen, he couldn't take it anymore. He tried to slit his wrists, but was found by his mother, unconscious in a puddle of his own blood. His life was saved, and the truth of his brother's sexual abuse came out. Even though his brother was now out of the picture, Skylar still remained slightly isolated. He blames himself for what his brother did, thinking that he somehow brought it upon himself. He's stopped cutting himself, and is beginning to recover (with the psychiatric help) from the abuse, but he still has his rough times, just like everyone else.
Boarding School: His parents decided to send him there in the hopes that he would find a special girl who would be able to "fix" him, breaking him out of his shell and helping him to get over the abuse he had suffered.
--For School Use--
My Type of Girl... I like someone whose not afraid to be herself, no matter what. Someone whose intelligent, able to carry conversation, but also has fun, and a sense of humor. Someone who won't judge me for my past, or hate me because of my scars. The girl for me has to enjoy music, whether it be listening to it or playing it. She has to enjoy romance, and believe in true love. I want someone who will appreciate everything I do for her, even the little things.
Eyes: Looks don't matter
Hair: Looks don't matter
Height/Weight/Athletics: Looks don't matter
Anything In Particular: I'd prefer someone who will be able to understand what I've been through, but it's not required. I'd also like someone who will appreciate my writings and artwork.
Other Information: Umm...none?
