[color=20B2AA]APPEARANCE[/color]
 __________________________________________________________________________
[indent]
[sub]In a crowd, Malachi wouldn't necessarily stand out. Short brown hair, brown eyes, a slight tan, and maybe a little on the taller side, he could be just any other college kid. He takes care of himself as best he can - semi-regular exercise has kept him in shape, if not athletic. 

He dresses nicely enough, for a college student - they're not necessarily the newest clothes, but they're practical, and he likes them. His wardrobe almost entirely consists of jeans and plaid shirts, with a number of jackets, tank tops and other items to add some variety.[/sub]

Compassionate [color=20B2AA]|[/color] Dedicated [color=20B2AA]|[/color] Reliable [color=20B2AA]|[/color] Headstrong [color=20B2AA]|[/color] Reclusive

Malachi has always been distant from his peers, and responded poorly to many authority figures throughout his life. He doesn't actively push people away, but there is a wall that he has built around himself, and only a few people can break through it. The root of it is because of his childhood, but after a while, it just became... comfortable.

On the other side of that, is a responsible and caring young man that refuses to give up. Once he's decided he's going to do something, he'll stick by it - even if it's reckless or it lands him in a spot of trouble afterwards. When it comes to animals or young children, Malachi isn't afraid to show a more vulnerable side of himself - he's often visibly happier when interacting with them, and he's good at comforting them and calming them down.

[color=20B2AA]BIOGRAPHY[/color]
 __________________________________________________________________________
[indent][sub]
Still working on this, so here's a synopsis
Block 1- Childhood/early-mid teens. Malachi was essentially the caretaker of an ill or disabled family member (parent or sibling), meaning a lot of his time was spent between them and school, leaving little time for friendships or extracurriculars. Other family member (single parent if sibling, or uncle/aunt/grandparent if parent) would have been working constantly in order to support the ill relative's healthcare and other needs. Many teachers do not understand/know/ignore the situation, leading to Malachi's general disrespect.

Block 2- Late teens. Support/therapy dog was acquired in the form of a 2-3 year old dog (german shepherd, golden retriever or mutt mix; all are irl support dogs used for this purpose), in preparation for Malachi starting at the nearby college. Unfortunately, due to the disability/illness, family member was hospitalised and didn't make it (they had specified DNR; Do Not Resuscitate). Cue small funeral, with Malachi and other family member being only relatives. Other family member makes sure Malachi gets to keep the dog.

Block 3- Early 20s/present day. Malachi and dog are living alone in childhood house/maybe moved to apartment, studying (one of: premed/vetinary care/childcare/teaching). Other family member checks in with him periodically, but they and Malachi have a hard time connecting. Malachi spends most of his time at college or at home - still no extracurriculars or close friends. Mostly reads, watches TV/YouTube/Netflix, or takes dog on hikes.
