༼ Physical Description ༽
« His dirty blond hair is mostly combed over, somewhere at the beginning of the day. But by the time the clock hits noon he has ran his hand through it so many times it is tousled. He looks young, very young, but don't let that mislead you. He makes up with it with his on point wit. His honey colored eyes mostly have a gentle and friendly look in them. Yet at times they can be fierce and determinded. His unimpressive height of 5'8" completes his child like look. Underneath the clothes he is more toned that someone would expect him to be, seen his job as a DA. However he makes a point of it to hit the gym every day in order to clear his mind. His clothing style is mostly simple, jeans and a button down shirt when he is at home. But once he leaves his home he is dressed in suits and knows how to carry himself. Something that nevers seems to fade from his features is his laugh, unless he is concentrated on a case. Determination will show his true age, when he is bowed down over files or thinking about connections between cases or people. Most of the times he just looks like an easy going guy and there is no trace of his harsh work or past in his features to show, other than the burn mark on his left wrist. »

He had quickly learned to be indepent and take care of his mother, since she was in no state to take care of him. He never really got anything back for it as she would not hesitate to use him in any way possible to get to her beloved herion. As a child he had already learned to inject the drug in her veins, when she herself was not able to. He was a smart kid, always able to find solutions even in the seemingly faithless life he had. His schooling? Thanks to his looks and the way he could play people with his big honey puppy eyes. That and the fact that the school principal had probably some things to keep covered up.
At the age of 15, his mother was shot dead in cold blood by her pimp. Their house burned down to ashes, as the pimp could not find her son. He escaped the flames, the burning mark on his left wrist was the only silent reminder of that day. He had managed to keep himself alive on the streets for a few days, before a rich, childless, couple had taken him in. A lawyer and his wife, whom paid for his further schooling and send him happily of to Law School. For the first time his life actually seemed to have a future as he was a smart young male and he finished top of his class.
