Preferring the more street priced than the higher end he could afford. Wool and Wool Tweed Suits are the usual: Jacket, Vest, Pants, Shirt. His shirts can vary in color from white to light blue or purple to pale green and his suits are always muted shades of brown, green, or grey. Ties are normal, tucked beneath his vest, and are usually striped in various colors. A long overcoat is usually worn or with him, despite the heat. Hats are normally worn, Fedora for more formal occasions when in travel though a pageboy cap is the standard for George. He is usually cleanly shaven on his cheeks, jawline, and chin, but sports a painters brush style mustache. Rarely does he ever allow his stubble to grow and can be rather meticulous about his grooming - Not for style though, habit from his wounds healing and fear of infection and further scarring. Gloves he can take or leave as needed, just a simple pair of tan leather ones. Shoes are usually hand buffed [hr][center][img]https://uproxx.files.wordpress.com/2012/11/richard1.gif[/img][/center][hr][h3][b][i][color=598527][center]Psychology[/center][/color][/i][/b][/h3] [i][color=598527][center][color=00a651]Loyal[/color] * [color=ed1c24]Melancholic[/color] * [color=00a651]Thorough[/color] * [color=ed1c24]Reactive[/color] * [color=00a651]Courteous[/color] * [color=ed1c24]Escapist[/color][/center][/color][/i] [b][color=598527]Sexuality:[/color][/b] Heterosexual [b][color=598527]Relationship Status:[/color][/b] Single [b][color=598527]Personality:[/color][/b] George can come off as extremely shy and lacking in self-confidence. He is quiet, reserved, and often times seems to be just a background article that most over look until they lock eyes or actually eye with him: Then he becomes something people either stare at, reel back from, or try to avoid noticing. He says very little but the looks he can give speak volumes. He knows what people see, what they think; he has dealt with it for sometime now and has even thought the same when looking at himself in the mirror. In truth though he is just polite and reserved due to his appearance. He can seem depressed, both inside and out. Wanting to reach out more and feel acceptance but does not put much faith in humanity. He has few friends but is beyond extremely loyal to those that are. He is patient, learning how to sit and wait to do what is needed. Yet there are times when he sees or hears things that he will react. He has many flaws but nothing that would constitute him as monstrous or evil; he is just reactive to the world around him. A tragic figure that seems to ever have a melancholic persona. Sadness does not rule his life but it heavily influences it.

Losing half his face he was sure he would never pull through that but he did. It wasn't until he was back in the United States that his number finally came up. Out on the boardwalk of Atlantic City he had been hired to take out a new power player that had come to the city. Yet after Bill died he began to question what he was doing as a hitman. One moment of self doubt caused his hand to shake, his bullet to miss, and an innocent to die. During the gun fight that broke out at that moment, George was shot. He managed to get out and make his way down to the sands beneath the Boardwalk. He doesn't know whose bullet hit him but he doesn't care. He bled out in the sand smelling the salt in the air and hearing the waves crashing down on the beach. There could have been worse ways to go out and after the life he had lived as a hitman he felt he was lucky to have gone so easily compared to most. [b][color=598527]What Brought You Here:[/color][/b] George doesn't believe that anything good brought him back. In fact he looks at this as purgatory for hell refuses to take him. If he had died during the war perhaps he would have felt different but he knows the life he lived after the war was one that was anything but righteous. He was a hitman, a bootlegger, killed so many, and put so many more in harms way. Even that he could let go from his conscious. That was until he missed and took out the woman, the bullet wasn't meant for her. This was his penance. Then even more hit him. For those that have lived two lives it does that. George was crushed when he had the memories of his other life pressed into his consciousness. He truly was the most vile of men that had walked the Earth. This was not his penance, not a second chance. This was his punishment, to live for eternity atoning for things he never could. Heaven was ever out of his reach, hell would never take him. Then again, there wasn't either in his mind because if there was there would have to be a god and no god would allow men like him to exist. [b][color=598527]Does your character want peace:[/color][/b] George does not want peace for he feels he will never deserve it. Though a hiccup in the time line gave him two lives, one in which he never really lived as other Paradoxes did that had two lives, he still feels he must atone for it. He will hold onto this live for eternity if he can to do everything he can to make things right. He has to.

He understands she is no deity but she does have some control over death, he just wishes she would have used it earlier on either of his timelines. [hr] 💙 [b][color=9370DB]The Cards[/color][/b] 💙 [i]"She sees more than my scars"[/i] Why Nancy took a liking to George he has no idea and he was put off to begin with but over time he has come to call her a friend. So much in fact he has allowed her to photograph him and even see him without his mask on. She is the only in this new life of his that has. [hr] 💛 [b][color=A0522D]The Hat[/color][/b] 💛 [i]"He is a warrior, he understands"[/i] George spends much of his time in the Mill with Gilbert working. Though they do not talk much they have an understanding. If they need to speak a series of grunts usually works for the both of them. George considers him a friend. [hr] 🎆 [b][color=cca78e]The Watch[/color][/b] 🎆 [i]"He is better at letting go"[/i] George respects Gio. He understand where the man is coming from but George just cannot let somethings go. Especially what he did in the past. He might never be able to let it go.

Mostly because of his appearance to begin with yet the longer he lived the less he liked what he had become. The monster that everyone saw. Then when he died he found out just what a monster he truly had been and now he feels his outside matches the inside. [hr] 💜/♨️ [b][color=82ca9d]Peter Keystone[/color][/b] ♨️/💜 [i]"Good Man, Bad Choice"[/i] The first face George saw after his injury was Peters standing over him. He didn't remember much but when he woke up at the medic station, there was Peter. The two formed a bond few can and stayed in touch until Peter disappeared. [hr] 🌓 [b][color=ed145b]Alicia Gonzalez[/color][/b] 🌓 [i]"She's gonna kill me..."[/i] The two have never been close but they aren't enemies. They both have just done what they needed to do get along. George sees her from time to time when she is working with Gilbert but never says much. While he enjoys being around her for her energy he can't ever seem to make himself speak around her and tends to wander off to read instead.

Both enjoyed the same things, did well in the same fields, and so forth. It wasn't until the war changed George that their relationship changed. [hr] 💜 [b][color=82ca9d]Peter Keystone[/color][/b] 💜 [i]"Good Man"[/i] The first face George saw after his injury was Peters standing over him. He didn't remember much but when he woke up at the medic station, there was Peter. The two formed a bond few can and stayed in touch until Peter disappeared. George moved on in life but never forgot what Peter did for him. [hr] 💜 [b][color=598527]Billy O'Reily[/color][/b] 💜 [i]"He did more for me than the doctors"[/i] Billy found George sitting at a hospital in Chicago. Neither of them wanted to be there, especially to be some type of study for the government to measure just how much their physical pain affected them mentally. They both walked out and began working together. They were best friends until Billy was murdered in Atlantic city. [hr] 👿 [b][color=598527]John Pierce[/color][/b] 👿 [i]"I did to him what he did to Billy"[/i] John was the one that took Billy out. George did not know for sometime but once he was able to find out just who it was that pulled the trigger he hunted the man down and ended him. Normally George would not have if it had just been business. Billy was a soldier as well. Yet John didn't kill Billy because of business, it was personal - so he died the same way. Personally. [hr] 👿/🎆 [b][color=598527]Frank Sinclair[/color][/b] 🎆/👿 [i]"He took my face"[/i] Sinclair was the man that shot when he shot. His mirror during the war. The one that caused Georges rifle to backfire. They were enemies as soon as he was assigned to him but in the end George respects the man. He was skilled. Even though he took half of Georges face, George survived, Frank died. George wins. IT was worth the cost in some ways - in others he wishes the situation would have been reversed.
