[b]Bio/Personality[/b]: 
There are those that are privileged and those who lack, but for the vast majority stuck in between, life is just the steady passage of time. 

Ephraim is the first son and eldest sibling of a traditional suburban lower-middle-class family. Grew under a working-class father exchanging his youth and health to provide a steady check.  Raised by a wide-eyed mother, sacrificing her own ambitions and dreams to build a loving home for him and his 2 younger sisters. Now, his parents are getting older but still together, his sisters growing or grown, are ready to find their own path. And so must he.

All that said, Ephraim is a man of little import, his work mundane, his life lackluster, his ambitions realistic, but he is not unsatisfied or wanting. But in all, life treated him well, as well as anybody can hope, so it would only be fair to live life to the best of his abilities through all its highs and lows. To Ephraim, nothing is a given, all paths have a toll, it is up to him and him alone to decide how it should be handled.

However, to Ephraim, there is mark and merit not only in the peaks and valleys but to the plains as well. The mundane has virtue, therefore, requires excellence. The lackluster is consistent therefore demands diligence. And lofty ideals and dreams only serve to disregard everyday responsibilities. To the layman, nothing in life is set in stone, the smallest steps create waves and ripples of all sizes in future travels. Thus, humans thrive under habit and methods, with their own way to life with vices and virtues; some can overcome, some may be forgotten, some may be found, and some others mistaken. 

Thus, Ephraim knows that the only agency he has in life is his own. He makes his own path, his actions and their consequences his own. There are no fates nor destinies. He does not make excuses, or bargains, for every choice has its own price and reward as well as a time to make them. But, he is human with his own share of anger, jealousy, pride, and greed. Thus he knows that others struggle through the same, but does not pretend to know how or why, but he will offer and accept help when needed. Ultimately, however, problems can only be solved by those that make them.

Ultimately, Ephraim came to this new city for a job, a job he has no intention of half-assing. He’ll learn what he can, take advice from those willing, and do his best not to disappoint. It doesn’t pay extravagantly, hours fluctuate from week to week, but its chance to live for himself. With a small studio apartment, an inkling on how to provide and take care of himself, he makes ends meet, sets a bit away for the future, but also recognizes the merit of taking a load off.

For now, he has no overarching goals, but he does find the appeal of finding someone to start a family with, but he knows that could be a long ways off. For now, he contents himself with working hard, finding comradery in his coworkers and spending his days off in their company around a table shooting shit in a room filled with the smell of booze and smoke.

*Your age: 21
*What part of the world are you from? Texas
*How many years have you been writing/roleplaying? Roleplaying for 7 years now, all through Tabletop RPGs though. Roleplaying like on this site is rather new to me, but I hope my history of writing dumb campaigns and scenarios for friends as well as creating a small company of characters (of “variable” quality) can help me out here. I usually have time on the weekend to really devote time to sit down and write, but I can pluck away at ideas in my off time on the weekday. That said I work around 60 hrs a week at a CNC Machine Shop, well into the late night, but depending on what I have to do for that week, I can usually find time to get on my phone.
