In Depth Appearance;
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 you somehow manage to catch his attention. His dirt blonde hair is left to their own devices, allowed to flow freely and rest on his face, with only an occasional, indolent swipe upwards to keep it out of his line of sight. He sports a slightly muscular, frequenting the gym and exercising on a weekly basis, thus allowing him to stay at around 145 pounds.

Clothing Style;
He prefers wearing plaid shorts, opened/unbuttoned with a clean white shirt underneath. He abstains from buying new clothes, as he sees no reason to buy new shirts if he still has wearable, decent ones, though if he sees it necessary he does so. His pants usually tend to be black, the style mattering little to him. His sneakers are old and worn out, preferring it that way.

✘ Others unaccepting of differing opinions; overly opinionated individuals.
✘ People who feel the need to scream during every rep.
✘ Being wilfully ignorant.

Habits;
• When in deep thought his eyes glaze unintentionally.
• 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).
•Needlessly polite to others, even to his juniors.

• Wandering aimlessly.
• Gym.
• Reading.
• Track and field.

• Being controlled.
• Drowning.

Personality Traits;
Observant ツ Empathy ツ Free ツ Insightful

Personality;
To many others who really don't get to know him, Philippe seems uncaring and rather lazy. It is a fair assumption as he seems to not really care about what other think of him, his personality, clothing, attitude and the like. His actions can be said to be fully from his own choosing- normally not letting others opinions affect his, although he still takes them into (relatively careful) consideration. He really does not care for the social hierarchy of the school and such, and even goes out of his way to stop petty things like bullying and such- feeling empathy towards those who can't fend for themselves.

Though he doesn't try to be, he comes off as charismatic and easy to talk too, this is accentuated by his rather free spirited nature, coming off as a guy who seems like he will listen to your troubles with an open ear. This trait is further trained and developed with his job as a bartender, and him being somewhat easy on the eyes helps. Furthermore, he openly despises 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, but when you do it's something that one wouldn't expect it from, he dons a striking glare that pierces right through you, and he becomes more abrasive and more brutally sarcastic.

Place of Origin;
New Orleans, Louisiana.

Background;
Philippe was born from parents who came from nothing, both worked their way up the ladder and became successful. His parents while loving, and caring chose to teach that lesson in humility for their child Philippe- sending him enough money to get by, and a bit more during his birthdays or special occasions. They always taught him to be humble, and take special care in money as both his parents struggled immensely during their teenage lives. This nature had ingrained in Philippe, choosing to budget himself efficiently but still have a little fun on the side.

It also helped that got a scholarship, being somewhat clever and doing his duties. He never neglected study and set schedules for himself, this self-sufficiency was also emphasized by his parents. He also somehow attained a job as a bartender during his tenure in Hollywood university, and he was a natural at it, being able to read faces/emotions and body language easily and being a shoulder to lean on at times.

He had an honest love for computer sciences but is still deciding his permanent job, nevertheless he also has a knack for most things tech related. This was also part of his reputation on campus- the local 'it' guy that can help with your tech if need be. He always tries his best to help- even if he does fail at times. Otherwise he is usually seen on track jogging if he has nothing else to do, or just meandering about and appreciating the local beauty of nature on campus. He isn't really seen, or neither does he want to be seen as a 'popular guy', feeling that such things are completely unnecessary and trivial, making little to no effort to further his 'social status' being a "You get what you see." kind of guy.

Extra;
Hard to pick a favourite but the one I enjoy the most is Jack black.

► "Charlotte, huh? I see her around, gives off that popular kid vibe." ◄
Philippe, being a newer arrival, hasn't really heard of the social hierarchy as of yet, though he does not care for it much eitherway. Though he himself does know that she's one of the top brass if there was a social hierarchy. Nothing much else to say, though he has glimpsed her appreciating the dawn and dusk on more than one occasion, and a person who can truly appreciate nature isn't a bad person in his book.

{☯} E D D I E . B E E C H M A N
► "I think I saw his nametag in the on-campus bookstore. He seemed pretty okay, if a little bit out there." ◄
The few occasions he has met Eddie was in the bookstores, and he didn't really make a good-first impression but hey, not everyone does. Other than that he has caught him in a morning jog at times, though never really conversing due to not knowing each other. Overall, Philippe doesn't have much of a problem with him.

{☯} R O B E R T A . B R U C E
► "I actually don't know her to well, so no opinion." ◄
Philippe scarcely sees Roberta around, partly due to their timings lining up, and having differing interests. He has heard that she enjoys the arts, and while he himself does, not to the extent that Roberta does. As such she pretty much remains a mystery to him, and will likely stay that way.

{☮} D A N N Y . V E G A
► "Kinda clumsy at times but his heart is in the right place." ◄
Danny and Philippe are roommates, they quip and joke around with each other. Danny is one of the few people who understands the essence of why shitty jokes make individuals laugh, and such they resonate on stupid jokes together. Philippe has been actively encouraging him to attend the gym to take care of himself much better, and even actively helps him against his klutzy nature. They get along well enough, and are really good friends.

► "Mark is a chill, and one of the few that frequents the university gym." ◄
Philippe and Mark are on friendly enough terms, nothing to really make them close or anything but they do have a few alligning interests, the most prominent being their  interest in... well, the gym. They have spotted each other or idly conversed while doing their sets and reps, and as due to them having students schedules they pretty much go at around the same time. Other than that both can appreciate silence at times, making that another point where they can get along, even if it's nothing special.

{☯} P A R K E R . A S H F O R D
► "Who wouldn't know Parker, she's a tad 'well known' on campus." ◄
Even Philippe has heard of her, despite not knowing her personally. Even when he tries to avoid gossip it seems like people can't stop talking about her.
Though Philippe himself has nothing really to worry about from her 'work' (in his case), and even if he personally does not agree with what she does at times he can see why she does what she does. He has indeed read her blog on more than a few occasions, but doesn't really actively seek it out. Though he does get a hearty chuckle whenever he spots the more popular individual come to talk to her, cause it's fairly obvious as to what they came there for.

{⚜} H E L E N A . K O V A C H E K
► "She frequents the gym I go too, I think she's a trainer. Gave me some great insight in my routine on more than a few occasions." ◄
Philippe encounters her occasionally in the university gym, and has struck up conversations pertaining to routines and such. He has see her outside of campus but seldom so, and he doesn't really know how to start a conversation, the one thing they talk about mostly is... well, gym stuff. He has spotted her reading books around the campus, and he appreciates a person who enjoys a good book.

► "Ah a kindred spirit, kinda." ◄
Tabitha and Philippe are fairly similar, they both are willing to look at perspectives different from their own and have a natural inclination towards admiring the silent beauty of nature. Both also relate to each other fairly well as they both require to finance their budgets, almost to a fault. Because of this they tend to have similar assessments of situations and can come to agreements easier than most. Even when she is more frugal, Philippe thinks she dresses well to the point where she would count amongst the prettiest, natural beauty and all that.

{☯} B E N J A M I N . H I L L
► "The local Tyrion Lannister eh? He exudes the aura of a partyman." ◄
Philippe has heard tales of this whimsical and beaming man, he drifts from party to party, dorm to dorm and hall to hall. Maybe people either enjoy his presence or just openly disdain him. Personally Philippe thinks he's a pretty chill guy overall. It's a feat to have tales of you told to a person who barely has been here for two weeks. It's earned too, from the few times Philippe has seen it he basically exudes the aura of a partyman brimming with confidence.

{⚜} A N D Y . V A R G A S
► "He has more of a dislike towards the more mean spirited, rich type than I do despite being pretty popular himself." ◄
Since Philippe is still relatively new, and so is Andy they are acquaintances for now. Though they do have no problems being within each other's company. His down-to-earth attitude is something that Philippe encourages, especially in a university like this where the rich now intermingle with the poor. Though he can see them becoming friends given time as they both have similar dispositions.

{⚜} C H R I S T I N A . P A T R I D G E
► "Tough nut that one, she's probably one of the more stubborn and hardminded folk I've come across, cause once her mind's set it's like cement." ◄
Both are scholarship students, so they can relate to each other in a minuscule way. However thats where the similarities end (barring reading). Philippe has a distaste towards opinionated individuals. If they disagree with each other it can cause spats of sorts. Though he doesn't know her fully enough to make a conclusion about her character, the few times they've talked and met usually ended in a disagreement. Otherwise, if they agree they can get along well enough.

► "Divine, huh? Has that confident stride about her. We share creative writing with each other with her being, probably, one of the best there." ◄
Philippe initially became acquainted with Divine through 'Creative Writing', further getting to know each other by running into the library and having conversation about books. His interest piqued when she mentioned a novel she had in the works, he even offered reading it if she wanted. All in all they are solid friends and talk more often than not.

"A human-like wolf, then? I suppose that might explain some of the...strangeness. Regardless of what it is, though, I can't allow it to bleed out somewhere--that wouldn't be right. Or live if it's the monster the other hunters spoke of."

"I have heard of hearsay in my travels that these creatures existed, I had no real way to prove or disprove, well, until today." he replied, his eyes swam across the never-ending green of trees. One wouldn't expect this tranquil forest would have a veil of spiritual pretense. This world held more secrets than any man could ever hope to keep, and this was interesting to Ander, so much so that another smile placated his face, thinking that even if he tried his best he would not be able to uncover every mystery.

"I'm going to do what I originally set out to do: Fish. I'm still hungry, and the village is still rather inhospitable. One of those two I can fix, and I am going to do so. Good day."

"Well if you so desire, mention my name in the local inn to it's keepers and they will prepare a room for you, even if disparagingly done so. Let's just say they owe me more than a few favours." he called back to her, whom had already began her work. All work and no play was what Ander associated her with in his mind. With a shrug he disappeared into one of the trees branches, keeping his sword between his legs as he scrunched his back onto the sturdy trunk. His eyes landed on a flock of deer being led by a rather stern looking buck leading them up further upwards the stream. Nature never fails to please Ander, it's silent, serene scenery was a guilty pleasure of his.

A blacked-haired individual entered his field of vision from down below. From first glance he could tell that he wasn't a Northerner, baring more of a semblance to his company earlier. He wasn't a hunter, as evidenced by his lack of weaponry and lack of any basic armour. "He is either extremely brave or foolhardy, it is a thin, blurry line after all." he said to no one in particular, continuing to observe this new person. He seemed not far from Kiyanna's fishing spot. Ander wondered how that meeting would go, well it's entirely possible this odd fellow could spot him as he wasn't trying to hide himself and he wasn't too far up.

Whatever the case may be, human interactions were endearing to observe. It was beautiful and utterly mysterious to the wanderer.
