William Timothy Harrington

Significant Others: Knox is an only child and doesn’t have much, if anything, to do with his parents anymore, despite their attempts to reconnect. He has had multiple girlfriends and even more hookups, but nothing ever lasts long enough to be considered serious. When the women find out what he is really like, they leave.
Relationship Skills: Knox has pretty much no relationship skills. He finds being around people uncomfortable and usually avoids relationships, only sticking around for sex, making sure she knows that and then leaves. He is cold, but incredibly protective of those that he cares about. If you manage to capture his heart, he will do almost anything to make sure that said person is happy.

Weight: 70.6 kg (approximately 155.4 lb).
Eye colour: Deep emerald green with darker shades of green around the iris
Hair colour: Black, but in the light some strands look a dark chocolate brown
Skin colour: White
Distinguishing Features: His green eyes, built, lean body and height put together make it very hard for people to miss him and even harder to resist. He is also covered in scars, from where his parents used to beat him when he didn’t live up to their expectations, and his own.
How Does He Dress?: Knox normally wears long sleeves and long pants to cover the scars that cover his body. He is very self-conscious of them despite how he acts. He wears very expensive clothes and normally layers no matter how hot it is. He also will normally wear a silver watch on his wrist, a gift from his father. He hates it, but it tells the time and it reminds him of his parents.
Mannerisms: Having grown up in a wealthy family, Alexander is a proper gentleman, opening doors and always insisting on ladies first. He is polite, but can also be rude. He despises his parents. He is often a blank canvas, but his anger can sometimes make him snap; in that case, he will often take his anger management pills. He can be snide and self-centred, but underneath it all, he is a massive softy.
Habits: Knox suffers from depression which he tries to ignore, but sometimes it can get to be to much, which in that case he has a tendency to draw his own blood which he will feel incredibly guilty for afterwards and will do everything in his power to hide the wounds until they heal fully, in most cases leaving more scars and starting the cycle of again. He is hooked on his anger management pills, and sometimes, if he feels angry, sad, or depressed, he will take a few pills just to get a little high. He once tried to OD on them, but he doesn’t like to talk about it. He often will stay quiet at gatherings, it being a habit of his to just remain silent, just like his parents taught him to. He can also forget to eat for days at a time, only remembering when his body starts to act up, which makes him annoyed, thinking that he is weak.
Health: His mental health is a wreck, but he is in very good physical shape, despite his sometimes present wounds, and neglected eating habits; he works out all the time, finding it relaxing.
Hobbies: drinking, reading, working out, staring into space for hours at a time, boxing, rock climbing, piano, painting, and a list of other things that his parents made him take up when he was younger.

Speak Patterns: Despite his parents' best attempts at trying to teach him proper diction, Alexander tends to use more modern phrasing. He has a very wide vocabulary (including insults) and tends to use larger words that most people don’t know, which would often get him scolded.
Disabilities: When he was young, Knox fell off a brick wall while trying to run away from home and broke his leg; it never really healed quite right, and now, in the colder weather, it can cause him pain. As well as when he runs over large distances, or just some days, it will act up. Despite this, he still trains with his ‘bad leg’, doing extensive runs to try and strengthen it, but it only causes him pain and for his condition to worsen.
Style: Moody Elegance
Greatest Flaw/s: He hates himself and the world. He is dark, untrustful and rude and can’t seem to get out of his own head despite how hard he tries. He is incredibly emotional when he opens up to people and then hates himself for burdening others with his own problems, which he thinks he should be able to deal with on his own.

Extrovert or Introvert?: Ambivert - Depending on how he is feeling he will either stay at home and do quiet activities, but sometimes he craves to be around ‘friends’ and will often get himself drunk which will turn him into an Extrovert.
How Does This Character Deal With Anger?: Knox can’t deal with anger, without his meds, he will yell, and possibly become aggressive or maybe just take his anger out on himself, harming himself or others. With his meds, he still gets angry, but can manage it better often however, he will take more pills than needed to get himself high.
With Sadness?: When he is in public Knox will build mental walls around himself and will seem mostly unaffected by such things. But as soon as he is alone his response can range from having a mental breakdown, crying, SH’ing, SA, anger, or more.
With Conflict?: He will often just watch conflict, finding it entertaining, but when he has to step in he does so calmly. However when he is in the conflict things tend to escalate quickly and can often lead to broken bones.
With Change?: Knox has been through enough change to not mind it anymore. He will just try to go with the flow, but big change can make him feel uncomfortable and very isolated, which can result in a mix of other emotions and reactions.

What Frightens This Character?: Himself, he fears the things that he can, might, will, and has done in the past. Also he has a phobia or rulers and belts which are just a few of the objects that his parents used to beat him with.

Such as hitting a ruler in the palm of your hand.

Fight-Flight-Freeze-Fawn Response?: Knox often freezes in the face of danger or fear. Something that he did as a child when his parents punished him, but also something that has just stuck with him. Sometimes however he will throw himself head first into danger with no regards for his own safety just so he can feel something.
Spiritual Characteristics:
Does This Character Believe In God?: No, neither his mother nor father could agree on a religion that they wanted to nurture into him as a child, so instead they left it up to him.

That was the only thing he could trust, and sometimes he couldn’t even trust himself.
