[hider=Daniel Reyes] [center]Name: Daniel Reyes Appearance: Clothing style consists of dark neutral colors. Black and greys mostly, maybe brown or even dark blue or green when he's in a good mood. Likes to layer and loves hoodies and jackets paired with black or dark blue jeans and plain black sneakers. Anything comfortable and simple. Hates tight constricting clothing and "status symbols" or anything that would make him stand out in a crowd. [img]http://i.imgur.com/w9tnDVc.jpg[/img] Personality: Not your typical spoiled rich kid. On the contrary, he actually detests the lifestyle he was born into. Whether he admits it or not, Daniel was raised a gentleman. Can be rebellious at times if the situation calls for it but prefers to keep to himself and not draw unnecessary attention. Doesn't trust others easily but the people who manage to earn his trust are held very dear and close to Daniel's heart. He would do anything to help a friend in need, even if it harms him in the end. Quiet and reserved but will speak his mind against anyone who argues with his ideals. Strives to separate himself from his father's name; wants to be known as Daniel and leave a lasting impression on the world as such, not as "Derek Reyes' son" or "the Reyes boy". Likes: Quiet, sunsets, honesty, cold weather, thunderstorms/rainstorms Dislikes: Rich folk, flaunting one's status and wealth, his father, loud obnoxious people, liars Hobbies: Sitting on the cliff at sunset until the stars come out, meditating (self-reflection/spending time with his thoughts), playing piano and violin Background: From a young age Daniel has learned to create a different outward persona dependent upon what the situation calls for at the time. Being raised on the outskirts of Greenbriar by his father, money, and a prestigious name to boot, appearances were everything. Social functions, garden parties, hosting business partners from around the world. These were but a few examples of Daniel’s childhood. While other children his age were fussing over skinned knees and the newest video game, young Daniel was expected to be seen but not heard. He never knew his mother. She had died giving birth to him. People whispered rumors that Daniel was infected by the lights and his defect is what killed her. But he had been born perfectly healthy and the rumors eventually faded as people stopped talking about the lights. Raised to be the heir to eventually take over his father’s pharmaceutical company in Riverview; composed, reserved, only speak when spoken to, everything you do elegant and refined. Everything was fine at first because he didn’t know any different. It was simply the world he lived in. But as he reached his teenage years Daniel’s observant nature started telling him a different story. A story of cloaks-and-daggers, false smiles and pretty lies. Friendly conversation was only a guise for some deeper ill intent. All the pretty gowns and well-tailored suits he had admired as a child became loud exclamations of one’s wealth and status and nothing more. His father’s stern lectures and strict instructions for Daniel’s upbringing turned out to be no more than a business plan for his future heir. There was no longer any warmth in his father’s eyes nor kindness in his words. If they had ever been there to begin with Daniel no longer trusted himself to know. He lost trust in people and closed himself off, becoming wary of the deeper meaning behind their intentions. Hating the idea of being his father’s puppet and being no more than a pretty face with a powerful name led to a rebellious streak in Daniel. Not the kind of hell-raising rebellion they show in movies, but the more subtle rebellion of not listening to orders or making a rude comment to a guest while he knew his father was watching. However, these rebellious outbursts were few and far between as he didn’t like bringing more attention to himself than was necessary. He already had enough of that as it is. [/center][/hider]
