He's not a trusting person and will always consider someone's trying to trick him before actually trusting them. He can come off as a bit of a douche, but that;s just because he'd rather get to know you before actually trusting someone. However he's a good friend and usually a loyal one, never one to go behind a friend's back for his selfish needs, only if it helps more people than just himself. Although he can be a bit selfish sometimes when it comes to jobs, but that's only if he still had his partner. He's always up for a challenge, especially if it involves a challenging case or someone needs help with something he can aid them with. He can be a bit awkward though, going on tangents that no one really he knows but himself [b][color=a0410d]Habits:[/color][/b] Bites nails, daydreaming, running fingers through his hair [b][color=a0410d]Hobbies:[/color][/b] Reading Manga, Watching TV shows, Web Design, cosplaying [b][color=a0410d]Fears:[/color][/b] [list][*] Drowning [*] Being Alone [*] Being killed by a Client[/list] [b][color=a0410d]Likes:[/color][/b] [list][*] Anime [*] Sour candy [*] Crime Dramas [*] Dancing [*] Movie Marathons [*]Baked Goods[/list] [b][color=a0410d]Dislikes:[/color][/b] [list][*] Cops [*] Mainstream Music [*] Dogs [*] His sister [*] Physical Exercise [*] Waiting in Line[/list] [hr][hr][h3][b][i][color=a0410d][center]Cards On The Table[/center][/color][/i][/b][/h3] [b][color=a0410d]General World Skills:[/color][/b] [list] [*] Knowledge of gangs [*] Negotiating skills [*] Computing Skills [*] Good Liar [*] Bike Riding [/list] [b][color=a0410d]Combat Skills:[/color][/b] [list] [*] Simple Boxing Skills [*] Pocket Knife [/list] [b][color=a0410d]What Is On Your Person:[/color][/b] [list] [*] Satchel [*] Clothing - dress shirt, hoodie, dark trousers, doc martens, glasses [*] iPhone 4 [*] A packet of Starbursts [*] Keys to Apartment [*] Notepad and Pencil [*] Lighter [*] Wallet with ID [/list] [b][color=a0410d]Apartment:[/color][/b] [list] [*] PC Desktop [*] Bookshelf of books, manga and comics [*] Assorted cosplays [*] Files on Criminals Likely to re-offend [*] Set of spare suits [*] 4 potted cacti [*] Vinyl Player [*] Chess Set [*] DVD collection [*] Bike, painted red and black [*] Desk with lamp for clients [/list] [hr][hr][h3][b][i][color=a0410d][center]History[/center][/color][/i][/b][/h3] [b][color=a0410d]What Brings You To The City:[/color][/b] Lyle ended up in Justice for a couple of reasons. His first and most important reason is that there would be more job opportunities here than back home, and well hopefully the danger levels would be a bit better off than he had had back at home. He wanted a new place to start afresh in his career and to take one more course to complete his training as a lawyer. Since back at home he was seen as a stupid rookie and easy to take advantage of, he thought a new start in this city would make him seem not so bad if he just came out of nowhere. Another reason for that is he might've made a few bad connections back home with some groups of miscreants that he kinda got scared by. Of course all of that is true but it's not the only reason he travelled here. He also travelled here to escape the clutches of his sister. His sister had had an obsession with him since they were young kids, always teasing and belittling him. She knew everything about him, always being stuck to his side through his life, an annoying twin is the facade she had, but Lyle knew she was up to something else. She wanted him for her own, she was obsessed with him and he hated it. So the best option was to flee the state, get as far away as possible, get to this big bustling city where he could live out his life uninterrupted. [b][color=a0410d]Life Before You Moved In:[/color][/b] Lyle was born in Oregon, to a single mother, his father nowhere to be seen. He was born with his twin into their struggling household, their mother working two jobs to keep their income steady and the two of them safe. To this day Lyle has no idea what her jobs were but he knows they weren't desireable. He was put into a rough elementary, he got a small group of friends, all was well. He began to show an interest in technology and was seen as a very good writer by the time he entered high school. He did well in most classes, but only really did well in Computing, Music and English, even then barely scraping marks in Music, but marks were marks to him and he wished to get more education than his mother. Luckily his mother had started to give him money so he could buy some DVDs for his growing movie collection. During highschool however, his friends started to get interested in getting more money, his group of friends slowly turning into a group of hooligans that were doing some crooked jobs to earn some cash. They dealt in drugs and beating up people, Lyle didn't approve of either of these but, beggars can't be choosers. He accepted the group's fate and instead started to study law as hard as he could. This began when he was 15, hoping to be of use to his friends if the need for a more legal intervention ever came up. By the age of 17 it became his passion, Law that was, being interested in any local cases and court hearings. Of course his sister didn't approve of his friends or his interests, always making fun of him and stealing his books on Law, so he had to start hiding them in his room where she couldn't find them. He always ended up fighting his sister to even get out of the house, she just wanted him to be in the house with her and their mother, who ironically was hardly there. By the age of 18 he watched her destroy his laptop just cos he got accepted into University and she didn't. He tried to avoid her since then, moving away from her and his mom and started going to university. During university he made friends, had a few relationships that didn't really go anywhere. He was seen as a good lawyer, but never seen as a very morally grounded lawyer. He was 26 when he had decided his sister's rampage had gone on long enough. He had all the education he thought he needed and one day he bid all his friends goodbye, most of them only hanging around with him for his skills of lying to the cops and getting people out of trouble. He hadn't talked to his mom in 8 years, his sister still lived with her, but he'd never heard anything of his mother, so he refrained from bidding her farewell. [b][color=a0410d]Life Since You Moved In:[/color][/b] Since he moved in Lyle has made his two years of living there of getting his life back on track. He's finally got the places to buy movies and manga secured and already got his collection built up again. He's bought himself a bike for simple transport whenever a client refuses to meet him in his apartment. He's been able to get himself a few clients, being able to earn some money here and there for small cases clients need him for, nothing huge and victorious but it's a living. He's started to enhance his knowledge on the gangs around the city, getting to know some of their whereabouts in case he ends up getting a client that involves them when he has to try and get them out of shit. So life's been getting better for him as he struggles to find work, refusing to work for any big agency but seeming like a pretty reliable lawyer.
