Personality
○ Outgoing: Despite what people may assume of him at first glance, Ethan is actually the type of guy who loves social interaction, feels the most at home in crowds, and doesn't mind initiating or receiving physical contact. What maybe the right assumption of him, however, is his way of getting people to do what they don't want to, or normally don't do. He has lead more than one astray but they can never claim they didn't have fun. Well, there's a first time for everything.
○ Seductive: Ethan tends to flirtatious and open to both genders, but, and this may come as a surprise to some, doesn't treat sex, or the topic of sex, lightly. He's easily attached to people and a bit of an attention seeker. To his credit, he's more empathetic than most would give him credit for.
○ Enthusiastic: Ethan leans more towards the idealistic and creative side of things. He strongly believes he can do whatever he sets his mind to and won't back down from a challenge. He's excited by new ideas, open minded, and flexible; the type of guy who is comfortable even in unfamiliar situations and takes new developments into stride. The Kroian is attracted to strange things and counterculture. He has a broad range of interests and isn't afraid to live life in accordance to his inner values.
● Disorganized: As one may expect from a young bachelor, he doesn't tend to keep his personal living space, or his workspace for that matter, organized. He doesn't live in complete filth (though he can be lazily and slow to get around to cleaning, but he does it eventually), he just prefers things in a cluttered mess. Unfortunately for him, he's not one of those people who knows where everything is and if he isn't careful, even his everyday items can end up buried and forgotten until the next time he cleans.
● Irresponsible: On top of placing things down and forgetting seconds later where he exactly put said things, he tends to act without thinking and jump into the thick of things often without a thought to the consequences. Ethan can even be considered selfish in the way he doesn't consider how his actions may affect others or even himself. He believes rules are merely guidelines and not the end-all-be-all, bending them when he sees fit but doesn't know when to stop before they break.
● Unfocused: Ethan is easily distracted and bound not to see projects or even his own personal interests through. He bounces from one idea to another and has a million-and-one uncompleted stories stuffed in boxes around his room. His professors favorite thing to say to him is "you have so much potential, you just need to focus". He pretty sure he has some mental disorder keeping him from doing just that but hasn't seen a doctor to be diagnosed.
Appearance
Hair & Eyes: Ethan keeps his dark hair shaved on both sides and long on the top. If he really wants to put a classic twist on it, he'll sometimes slick it back. His eyes a shade of faded green.
Body: The Kroian stands 5'11" with fair skin stretched across lean muscles earned from the push-ups and sit ups he's so accustomed to starting his day with. That, and males and females alike appreciate a tone body. Tattoos are inked into his left bicep and on the side of his neck. "Free" is written across his left knuckles and "Me" is written across his right, each letter taking up two knuckles. His right ear's helix is pierced twice on top of the typical lobe piercing, and so is his bottom lip. Some speculate something else is pierced but no one has gotten far enough with him to figure out if those rumors are true or not.
Dress Style: One will see him wearing everything from gender ambiguous-edgy outfits to the classic leather jacket and blues jeans. He's also been known to wear suspended slacks with a casual shirt and fedora. But no matter what he wears, he's always wearing his colonial coin around his neck on a silver chain.
History
▪Born and raised in Wen Kroy, he has never ventured outside of the country despite being an army brat. It was his father, a soldier himself, who mainly raised him while his mother wasn't often around due to being in the army.
▪When he turned ten years old, his mother finally came home but was suffering from PTSD and depression. His home life situation was made delicate and often times Ethan didn't understand why his mother was so prone to outbursts.
▪Because his father spent more time looking after his wife than his son, Ethan grew up rather fast and dependent, but also starved for attention. This lead to him causing trouble in school and getting into fights when his peers thought it wise to bad mouth him and/or his family.
▪Things didn't start looking up for him until he turned fifteen and his mother's PTSD was more well managed. With the his home life feeling more balanced, he became less violent and more open. They moved from their small town to the big city of Sneeuq for a change in scenery.
▪When he turned sixteen, he wasn't given a car. Instead his father gave him an old Colonial coin that had been in the family for ages (or so he claims). It turned out to be a relic of protection (something he's not sure to be offended or endeared by).
▪Ethan enrolled in college mainly because it was either that or follow in his parents footsteps and join the army. Not they were forcing him to pick, but Ethan saw didn't see a third option for himself. He plans to major in scriptwriting.
Strengths
Physically Fit: Being raised by two military parents, his father specially made sure to instill some discipline in him. This means that unlike most kids who either got yelled at or spanked, he was made to do push ups and sits ups everytime he got in trouble, and he got in trouble a lot. While some of his father's discipline didn't stick with him, he still starts his day with push ups and sit ups out of pure habit.
Creative Writing: Ethan isn't much of a poet, but he is a big fan of horror and macabre and this is reflected heavily in his works of fiction. It's also been his dream to write his own comic series, but unfortunately he can't always draw what comes to mind, which is probably for the best. To make up for this, he's taken on script writing and found some enjoyment in the new style.
Charisma: Ethan is very charismatic and knows how to use that in his favor. His favorite pastime seems to involve corrupting the pure and making sure things go his way. He doesn't mean much harm though; he just likes seeing people let loose every now and then and have a good time. When he's not using his charisma for evil, he's using it to get close to people and read others as if he's browsing the selection at the local library.
Weaknesses:
Book Smart: The Kroian isn't exactly as dumb as a rock, but he isn't the sharpest tool in the shed either, especially when it comes to the books. But as his father always said, "I'd rather have a son who had common sense but couldn't add two plus two than a son who could solve the mysteries of the universe but couldn't figure out how to look both ways before crossing the street". He was such an eloquent man.
No Personal Space: Ethan doesn't know to take no for an answer when it comes to physical contact, especially if a person is within his vicinity. He doesn't see the harm in propping his elbow on someone's shoulder or occasionally wrapping and arm around them in a friendly gesture. I mean, he can see if he was trying to kiss them or grope them, but if they object to platonic touches but make the conscious decision to be by him, then to him their the ones with the problem, not him.
No Filter: An unfortunate side effect of charisma is not knowing when to shut up. He also has very little clue when it some to the time and the place to mention something, and lacks tack when it comes to breaching subjects that other considerate people wouldn't think to breach. He has a nasty habit of talking back and if angry, losses all ability to talk his way put of trouble and instead makes the situation worse for himself.
Other
Stress Smoker: He doesn't usually smoke, at least not often, but when he becomes stressed or high strung, he usually has a pack on hand to soothe his nerves.
