[B]Name:[/B] Hunter [B]Age:[/B] 18 [B]Gender:[/B] Male [B]Appearance: [/B]Hunter has a tattoo inked on his right arm that flows into his chest. He prefers dark colors in his choice of clothing and owns a motorcycle. He also wears a pair of dog tags around his neck and a silver watch on his left hand. He has an athletic frame. He's 6'2'' and his eyes are green. His hair is black. He wears a black jacket. He actually really likes jackets and wears fashionable, tight fit jeans. He wears high-top sneakers. He tends to wear muscle shirts underneath his leather jackets and he wears aviator shades. His skin tone is tan. [B] Personality:[/B] One word to sum it all up for Hunter, he's cold and arrogant as Hell (okay, two words but whose counting?). He thinks himself above everyone else and although he won't be too blunt as to say it, he will single out others' mistakes. He doesn't easily forget and certainly won't forgive - normally. It doesn't take much to lose all of the trust you have gained from him and it will take you a monumental amount of effort to recoup it which might explain his lack of friends. Although he does have acquaintances, he doesn't necessarily consider the next guy to greet him on the bus, his "friend." Despite his inner insecurities, Hunter does have a couple friends here and there; he's definitely not the type of person you wanna piss off much less have an enemy but if you do find yourself in his inner circle of those he trusts, you can bet he will set the world of fire to protect you. Regardless of what others may think, Hunter is always right by his own book and absolutely hates it when he's wrong. Hunter is insensitive so don't go leaning on his shoulder if you need to shed some tears, it would be awkward for him and you. This isn't to say he won't offer a few words of encouragement but he has a very difficult time expressing himself, especially emotionally mostly because he can't quite put into words what goes through his mind. Some would say he possesses a problematic attitude but he simply calls it like he sees it and he's real about it. Screw backstabbing people, if Hunter needs to say something he'll go to your face and say it; he has nothing to hide. You should be advised against sharing personal information with him if you don't know him at that level mostly because he won't care. Certainly don't ask what you have no business knowing because chances are Hunter won't want to tell you where he grew up and such. If for whatever reason he feels the need to share anything about himself, he'll do it in his own terms and for sure in private. Those who have sought his friendship will tell you that Hunter is impressed through actions and rarely by words. His arrogance aside, Hunter is by no means socially awkward, he will speak up to get his points across regardless of whose feelings he hurts. He won't speak to mindlessly insult others but at times, he might have a different opinion and you can guarantee he will voice it. Circumstances of life have hardened Hunter's outer shell, numbed him even, to become highly tolerant of physical pain. He doesn't complain about cuts or bruises but he will make a scene about you trying to get too close to his personal space. That said, first impressions leave a tremendous mark in his mind. Chances are he will treat you according to the context under which he meets you and it could be very difficult to replace that image. Due to the general control over his emotions, Hunter is great at making decisions under massive amounts of pressure and won't hesitate to do what needs to be done. It should be noted that Hunter's greatest enemy is his own self. He takes failure too seriously and is highly obsessed with success. He will hate himself for his mistakes and will create walls between him and those that he does befriend (or befriend him, I should say) thinking he isn't capable of contributing. He doesn't like to be in situations of very little or no control, it drives him nuts to know that a group project depends on the effort everyone puts in. The spotlight doesn't scare Hunter, he's indifferent to it and will perform excellently either way. He's not afraid to throw down in the middle of a crowd and as simple as that, he'll pick up his stuff and be on his way when done. Under normal circumstances, Hunter won't brag about his actions, actually he won't. However, he will tell you how things are gonna go down even if things don't actually turn out that way. He has an insatiable thirst for destruction of sorts. He's violent. He's addicted to the adrenaline rush of being hurled into the worst possible situations where success means pushing himself beyond his limits. Despite his thick skin, Hunter suffers in the inside. He wishes he could get along with people but he just can't let go or rather, he can't trust so easily. He has a huge ego but doesn't care for the mainstream, although he certainly has an asserted taste in what is fashionable according to him. He does seem like an older brother who constantly lectures on why you shouldn't do "x" or "y." [B]History:[/B] Hunter Crux was born and raised in New York City where he has spent most of his life. Although he lived a very privileged life, things seemed to be in a constant state of tension when it came to family matters. His father was a stock broker on Wall Street; the money Crux Sr. ranked in permitted Hunter's mother to stay at home to raise their only child. Hunter rarely saw or spent time with his father and the little time that he did see him consisted of extremely structured discipline and grooming to follow in his rigorous footsteps. In the early years, Hunter grew up a quiet child that rarely seemed to attract or cause much trouble like other kids his age. At the care of his young mother most of the time, Hunter was well provided for in terms of basic nurturing but this seemed to slowly change as time went on. Elementary school was but a flash, he passed by like a ghost, unnoticed; still he stuck out like a sore thumb among his peers. There was a natural aura about him that radiated extreme control and self-confidence as his early achievements would prove. Despite the successes, he rarely accepted awards nor did he bother to partake in school celebrations (to which he was invited but always declined). In Hunter's young schooling phase, there was a professor that developed a mutual understanding with the enigmatic boy; this certain professor foretold that if Hunter did not change, no achievement in the world would prevent his ultimate downfall into the depths of his own self-destruction. Albeit not expressively told as such, the professor did phone home on several occasions inquiring about possible meets with Hunter's father - this never happened. Hunter's teenage years were perhaps the one's filled with the most action. He formed an unforgiving physical routine as a manner of coping with his figurative inner demons. He joined a local mixed martial arts gym where he practiced both Muay Thai and traditional boxing. He's been in a few scraps at school, usually because of others and very much to their own expense. In recent years, a natural rift occurred between Hunter and his father that further damaged their already explosive relationship. Hunter's mother was seemingly caught in the middle but ultimately sided with her husband when she failed to understand her own son. The young teenager began to 'let go' and numbed himself against social relationships thinking they''d all eventually sour like his own with his parents. Each day he wasted less and less effort in school but always stuck to the minimum required to get through for whatever reason, it remains unclear. Slowly but surely, a few people seemed to win his friendship; it wasn't easy at first due to the barrier he consistently held up in defense of his psyche but his guard eased with time. Finally, in a fortunate turn of events, Hunter's father amassed enough capital to fund a huge venture in the East Coast. To this day, Hunter's father expects his son to follow in his glorious footsteps... WIP...
