[s]Here's my second character in case anyone wants to take a look. Still a WIP and I'm planning on changing some stuff soon. Also, this may or may not be turning into a sausage party.[/s] Done! I think. [hider=Seth Kabhsenuf][center][img]http://mortalinstruments.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/119.jpg[/img] [b]Name:[/b] Seth Kabhsenuf [b]Age:[/b] 30 [b]How long has your character been teaching at Caelbury Academy?:[/b] This'll be his second year teaching at Caelbury. [b]Social Class:[/b] Wealthy, but just barely. [b]Social Class Explanation:[/b] Believe it or not, Seth is actually a scion of the now defunct Egyptian royal family. His great-grandfather was a Khedive, his great-aunt was married to one, and he has a second cousin or something who'd descended from the main branch. But when the monarchy was dissolved, they only took their wealth with them. Seth's father has the money passed down over the years, and a fine house in the countryside, but they don't have much else. [b]Subject:[/b] Literature --- [img]http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ls3bal04J01qd2ddio1_500.gif[/img] --- [b]Personality:[/b] Seth is very cautious with his words. He thinks a lot before answering any questions, afraid he's going say too much or just the wrong things. His words will either leave people wondering, for most of the time they aren’t all that easy to to understand. The key to having an easy relationship with Seth is to read between the lines: always read between the lines. He has a very peculiar sense of humour and tends to make jokes in the weirdest situations, which combined with his reckless way of living, makes him a very unusual type of guy. He cares about others more than he could ever care about himself, and often his true sweet and loving personality shows through the funny comments he makes. At heart, Seth is really all about peace; he just wants the world, and more specifically, all of his friends and peers, to get along. However, he knows that he can’t delude himself into thinking it’s going to happen. In his quietness, he sees the arguments people get themselves into, the tensions between siblings, between friends, between generations. On some occasions, he’s tried to step in, but the last time he did so, the two students ended up at each other’s throats, one with a black eye and the other with a bloodied nose. Seth thinks maybe he’s better off just watching and trying to keep himself out of the brunt of the conflict than trying to play peacekeeper. Outside of school, Seth is like your usual drinking buddy, someone who is always at the bar on his off days (so much that people might even think he works there) and buying people rounds and rounds of the most variable drinks. [b]History:[/b] Seth was born in Cairo, Egypt but he and his family soon emigrated to America a few years after his birth. He grew up in a big fancy house in the countryside with many fancy cars and a mother that never needed to work because of how much money his father had. Seth was told he had to be a ‘manly man’, by doing things like pushing kids around that were scrawnier than him, joining the football team, and treating girls like objects rather than people. And for most of his youth, that’s what he did, because he loved his father and wanted nothing more than to make him proud. If the things he was doing made him feel sick and empty, well, that was the price he was willing to pay for praise from his old man that was way too caught up in his delusions of the American Dream. It wasn’t until he got to university, when his father could no longer check up on what he was doing, that he stopped acting the way he had so diligently acted for his whole life. He secretly switched his major from Law to English Literature with the blessing of his mother, and his father had no idea about it until Seth finished all of his schooling and didn’t come to work at his law firm -- a law firm which soon started slipping behind the competition. He wasn’t exactly disowned from the family after that, but he was no longer invited around for dinner and phone calls with his mother were made only when his father would be at work. But Seth understood; he knew that his father wanted a good life for him, but that he was also attempting to relive his own youth through his son. And while Seth still loved his father very dearly, he just wasn’t the same person as him, and he never could be. Seth was a naturally passive and loving person, like his mother, though those instincts were stomped down so harshly that even ten years after dropping the act, Seth struggles to go back to the person he wants to be. He graduated college with a major in English Literature and a minor in Psychology, and then went on to grad and post-grad school for his doctorate, earning that at age 27, and then a year in a post doctoral position. Beyond that, he honestly hadn’t planned very well, but he does say that teaching had never actually crossed his mind. He’s still hard pressed to explain how he ended up teaching. He often comes across as conflicted, or only halfheartedly interested in his subject, even though he manages to be enthusiastic while teaching. He loves Literature, don’t get him wrong, but he also secretly wonders if he should've pursued a career in the field of psychology. He’d only been teaching for a year, so needless to say, he was thoroughly surprised when Caelbury offered to hire him as a teacher. --- [img]https://31.media.tumblr.com/c9908c5e31b99138c4015025b1a32d0d/tumblr_n0vg3gV9qg1qccp0co2_250.gif[/img] [img]https://31.media.tumblr.com/c7e8869e469274e1a6794324d90258d6/tumblr_n0vg3gV9qg1qccp0co3_250.gif[/img] --- [b]Miscellaneous:[/b] - He has long since given up hope on his students pronouncing his last name correct, so he usually just goes by Mr. Kab. - As a rule, Seth generally prefers his love interests to be human shaped but other than that, anything goes. - He [i]really[/i] likes coffee.[/center][/hider]
