Name: Gideon Drake Age: 17 Appearance: Gideon is rather short for his age, standing at 5'8". He has dark brown hair and eyes, and due to an astigmatism, he needs to wear his glasses at all times. His skin is quite pale, since he tends to stay inside most of the time. Personality: Gideon is very much a bookworm, spending his free time reading books or graphic novels, being on the computer, or playing video games. He is quite awkward and shy around people, so he tends to be quiet. Gideon is very intelligent, to the point that many things-- especially sports-- bore him. Short bio: Gideon's life has been far from easy. Prior to his parents' divorce when he was eight, his father was physically and verbally abusive towards him, his mother, and sister. When he was twelve his mother attempted to commit suicide, and he and his sister were placed in the foster system. The combination of this made him a cautious, quiet young man, afraid to get close to people because they might hurt him.
