Hayden Shiri Anderson

Anderson is his preferred alias as he finds Hayden a bit too feminine for his liking. Calling him by his middle name is a sure fire way to piss him off as he feels its reserved for family only and it sounds too much like "Sherry" when english-speakers say it.

Anderson is most characterized by his resting, seemingly uncaring bitch face. That said, he does have a dashing smile that he shows every few blue moons. He's a tall man at about 6' 2" with an average built and has always looked young for his age.

His eyes are a dark coffee brown, already having stress lines and dark under eyes if you look close enough, and his black hair is slick due to either hair spray or gel. If he didn't take the time to "tame" it in the morning, chances are he'd look like an anime character. He does shave a lot as his facial hair can grow quite rapidly and thus he often experiments with different facial hair styles at a whim. Right now however, he's clean shaved.

The other major part to note about him is his hands, rough and dirty from his job of constantly making things (and his nail biting habits). No matter how well he cleans them, they will always have traces of dirt or oil or something. Despite how often he is hunched over something, his back is always straight up like a drill sergeant's.

Clothing wise, he favors working clothes or formal or something in between. Jeans and fancy vests are his favorite items though.

Perhaps the most prevalent thing about Anderson is his snark, now in varying shades of mockery, sarcasm, annoyance, bluntness and indifference. He's a very down to earth and pragmatic man with a strong and dedicated work ethic but that doesn't stop him from chewing the hell out of people, even his superiors can only have such an amount of control over his snark.

To the people he opens up to, Anderson's snark has more of a humorous side and his willingness to help them personally increases. However, he absolutely refuses to be connected to "special snow flakes". That isn't to say he'll sneakily help them in some way, but it means he just won't talk to them and point out their flaws more often.

Job wise, he's very stubborn, once he has an idea on how something should be made or handled, he will stick by it. This is a sort of double edged sword where on one hand, the things he uses and makes are of exceptional quality, and in the other, he tends to ignore deadlines and pre-set budgets. And because he puts so much effort and time into the stuff he makes, he hates seeing it destroyed. Thus, its not far fetched to see that Anderson doesn't hold the pyrotechnics people in the highest regards.

Ghosts, Bugs, spooky stuff, being unable to use his hands

Anderson was born to rural country girl and a city kid, his parents meeting in college. For as long as he knew, his mother had been a chemical researcher while his father had been a dentist. One would say here that it would make little sense on how Anderson would have acquired his skills set from this, but it was actually his Grandfather who taught him handicrafts and otherwise blue collar work (and his attitude).

Never the amazing student, Anderson gravitated towards the nerds who'd put models together and paint them or the robotics geeks who'd obsessed about making sure every screw was right and re-checked lines of code twenty times over. Getting into wargaming himself, he saved up pocket and job money to get into it, taking the time to hand paint and decorate his little models with custom creations which got more complex and elaborate as time went on.

His first experience with the fine arts came late in his high school career when he decided to join the props and scenery crew of the school theater club. Within his first show, he had become de facto leader of the crew after rather viciously chewing out the actual leader and out doing him by making half the things needed on his own. Impressive to say the least, he'd gotten himself a permeant standing as leader of said crew until he graduated.

After graduating college, he began to search for work, doing various odd jobs to stay alive. Despite his skill at producing props and scenery, his lack of finer points of social conduct made getting said jobs a lot harder. It didn't help that he was young and lack contacts within the industry to help him. After working on small films, Anderson's true break out into the industry might just be now.

He needs money and a break out role to prove that he didn't just waste his life going after an other wise worthless talent.
