[color=#89cff0][b]Appearance|[/b][/color]
[indent]Philippe stands at a bit over average height, at 5'10". His posture is usually lax and casual, befitting of his general disposition. His gaze is usually all over the place, unfocused and dull, until and unless you somehow manage to catch his attention. His dirt blonde hair is left to its own devices, allowed to flow freely and rest on his face with only an occasional, indolent swipe upwards to be kept out of his line of sight. 
[/indent]
[color=#89cff0][b]Personality|[/b][/color] 
[indent]Before he met Sarah, Philippe cared alot about the pecking order, the 'cliques'- the jocks, popular kids etc. This extended to his style of clothing, and mincing his words so that the 'popular kids' wouldn't oust him and keep him within their circle. He even did things he himself was not very comfortable with doing. Basically Philippe was a shell of a person, who didn't form his own opinions and just followed the trend, and norms. After meeting and becoming friends with Sarah, he began to really not care for the social hierarchy of the school and disregarded it entirely, going out of his way to stop petty things like bullying- feeling empathy and guilt towards those who couldn't fend for themselves. 

To many others who really didn't get to know him, Philippe seemed uncaring and rather lazy. Which was a fair assumption as he seems to, thanks to Sarah's influence, not really care about what other think of him, his personality, clothing, attitude and similar. His actions started to become be fully from his own choosing- as he stopped letting others opinions affect his, although he still takes them into (relatively careful) consideration. This made him feel more like a person than before, forming his own 'identity'

In his highschool days, though he doesn't try to be, he comes off as charismatic and easy to talk too, this is accentuated by his rather naturally free spirited nature, coming off as a guy who seems like he will listen to your troubles with an open ear. This trait was further trained and developed by his past part time job as a Bartender. Furthermore, he openly despised gossip and hearsay, not so much to himself but more towards his friends- antagonizing those that he shouldn't.

One of his most respectable but damning traits is his willingness to help, if he sees an individual in real need he can't help himself to, well, help them. Even the thing that can help them is out of his reach, he will try his damned hardest to do so, even at times being frightfully naive always trying to see the good in even bad situations. In that vein, it is hard to truly anger Philippe. Though others have managed to in the past.[/indent]

[color=#89cff0][b]History|[/b][/color]
[indent]During his youth, Philippe was what one would call a 'faceless doormat'. His parents didn't have much of a presence in his life, as both worked long hours into the night. By the time they did get home, they pronounced themselves tired, and did not indulge Philippe in the antics you would with a child. This neglect instilled a sense of desperation in the young child who sought a place to 'belong'. He slowly turned this sense of desperation to his peers in school. He stopped at nothing to be accepted by them, and become a social chameleon, changing his devoid shell of self to fit those around him. 

This went on through his school life- from middle school to his entrance to highschool. While he wasn't despised and was, in the loosest sense of the word, in the popular clique. Not many wanted to be involved with him however, from inside and outside of these cliques. The people inside the cliques did not at all hang out with him outside of parties where everyone was there, they subconsciously felt that Philippe didn't have a real, tangible personality to him and opted to avoid him. People outside the cliques also disliked those within said clique, as they weren't the most well-liked due to their antics- usually outright bullying a chosen 'target'. He subconsciously realized the toxicity of this kind of relationship, but the fear paralyzed him from doing anything.

It was after the first year of highschool was when he met Sarah, who openly laughed at his own clique, and disregarded their haughty reminder of the hierarchy when they displayed so. Philippe was utterly flabbergasted by this, and secretly began to admire her. Someone who seemed so 'real' and 'genuine' compared to everyone else in highschool. Despite the clique's utter disapproval, and blacklisting of Sarah, he began to talk to her more often, being fascinated by her outgoing, and free-willed personality. Slowly he began to change, he distanced himself from his old clique, and started to hang out with Sarah, and began forming his own personality. For better or for worse, Sarah rubbed off on him.

A few years later, his parents work dragged him away from the quaint life of Higgins, to move into the bustling city of Los Angeles. His leave was abrupt, however, and he was in a heated argument with Sarah. He recently had heard that she had began to dabble in drug usage, he didn't care about the supposed rumors of her dating a teacher, nor her overdrinking during parties, but taking drugs was where Philippe drew the line. The argument ended in both sides getting heated, both saying words they would end up regretting. 

Philippe never got to say he was sorry.

[color=#89cff0][b]Anything Else?| (likes, dislikes, quirks, bodymarkings.)[/b][/color]
[indent]• Spinning his pen between his fingers when idle; so much so that it's fairly impressive.
• Fixes the crinkle of his clothes whenever he sees it (and if he's close enough with the other person, will try do so nonchalantly).
• Passable singing voice.[/indent]

[color=violet][h3]Penny Harlowe[/h3][/color]
[color=89cff0][sub]"We disagreed on alot of things regarding Sarah, but beyond that she's a sweet person who cared alot for her friends."[/sub][/color]
[hr] 
[indent]Philippe has a close friendship with Penny, one of the few people (barring Sarah) that Penny felt comfortable around. Both would usually end up debating on more than a few things in a friendly manner, and only ever got serious/heated up in regards to the late Sarah's actions. Philippe corresponded with Penny, with Penny being the one to inform him that she had abruptly left for New York. She periodically kept him up to date on the status of Sarah when they found the chance to message each other.[/indent]

[color=7ea7d8][h3]Lucas Atkins[/h3][/color]
[color=89cff0][sub]"For lack of better word, he was kind of a dick, didn't really talk to him much so I can't say much else."[/sub][/color]
[hr] 
[indent]Philippe didn't have much of a 'positive' impressions of Lucas due to every interaction with him ending, at best, poorly, and at worst, at odds. Philippe could tell that Lucas was gunning to air petty grievances to Sarah and he tried to target her friends to lash out. Other than that there's not much to say, Lucas didn't specifically target Philippe, he really didn't single anyone out other than Sarah. Philippe didn't keep in touch with Lucas due to these aforementioned reasons.[/indent]

[color=f7976a][h3]James Albright[/h3][/color]
[color=89cff0][sub]"Y'know underneath all that, James is a big softie, even if he is unbearable at times."[/sub][/color]
[hr] 
[indent]James and Philippe were acquainted before being in Sarah's circle. They both ran around the same cliques, but never really bothered each other. They became great friends when they both begun hanging out with Sarah. Philippe slowly noticed that he was a 'jerk with a heart of gold', even if they didn't agree all the time. Presently they occasionally send messages to each other, but found it hard to have time to truly 'hang out'. It was James that had informed Philippe about the late Sarah.[/indent]

[color=#008000][h3]Tommy Armstead[/h3][/color]
[color=89cff0][sub]"Tommy's, for lack of better word, intense. He's silent but exudes the most 'aura' in a room, if that makes sense. Great guy who listens to you though."[/sub][/color]
[hr] 
[indent]Like most of his other friends, he never really got to know Tommy (outside of rumours) before he met Sarah. Since then he has struck up an odd sort of friendship with the man, even if more silent than Philippe was used too. Eventually this friendship became one of the closest ones he's had. Philippe had frequently visited a few of his prize matches due to them falling under holidays most of the time, and were enjoyable to watch (especially since Tommy insisted on giving him a VIP pass each time). Philippe liked the 'thrill' of a fight, but it pales in comparison to Tommy.[/indent]
[hr]

[color=8493ca][h3]Alexis Wright[/h3][/color]
[color=89cff0][sub]"Initially I thought she was a bit standoff-ish and that we wouldn't get along, but towards the end of my school years my initial impressions were proven very wrong, she's a good person with a broken heart."[/sub][/color]
[hr] 
[indent]Before being in Sarah's circle, Philippe was aware of Alexis' reputation around the school- many really didn't have nice things to say about her. Philippe readily admits that these rumors actually formed a sort of assumption in his mind about Alexis. He still feels a pang of guilt over this, as later in the years when they both began hanging out with Sarah they formed an odd relationship where both slowly became 'tenured' friends. His initial impressions of her slowly washed away, as he began picking up bits and pieces about her past, going as far as to empathize with her current situation.

It went as far as them becoming really close friends, where Alexis slowly began to confide in Philippe about her troubled past. He tries at each opportunity to give her his support/help- either with his words, or his actions. He is the only one who Alexis had informed of her suicide attempt. Philippe had felt horrible not being able to be of help after her attempt, and blames himself for not talking her out of attempting it in the first place.

Both have kept in touch after high-school, with Alexis being the one he spoke to the most in Sarah's inner circle of friends, outside of highschool. His work takes him to business trips near London, and he has visited her a few times to check up on her.[/indent]

[h3][color=a36209]Annora Yates[/color][/h3]
[color=89cff0][sub]"If I had the energy of a battery, she has the energy of a generator- self perpetuating and neverending. Ahaha, it's almost blinding sometimes, really."[/sub][/color]
[hr] 
[indent]Despite the girls boundless energy, they formed a sort of odd friendship. Philippe helped even out her as much as he could, sort of 'grounding' her. They almost always speak in a banter-like, lighthearted tone, so much so that others who do not know their relationship assume that they disliked each other. This couldn't be further from the truth. He always respected her courageous speech, unflinchingly uncaring for those it lands on. He knows that those words come from the heart however.[/indent]
