AppearanceCharlie is 6ft tall with dark, messy hair and dark brown eyes. He's a good looking kid with seemingly flawless skin. He occasionally tries to grow some facial hair but seems to be incapable of growing more than just weird, patchy stubble so he's usually clean shaven. He dresses in mostly whatever he feels comfortable in which is usually jeans and a t-shirt.
"Sometimes I think I'm crazy because I see things differently than everyone else."
PersonalityCharlie is an oddball but does a good job of pretending to be more or less normal. Outwardly, he seems like a quiet, kind of shy kid. He tends to close himself off from other people and is not overly fond of being touched. He hates being hugged and cringes whenever anyone forces him into one. He doesn't talk very much but when he does, he tends to ramble on in a stream-of-consciousness style of speech.
He's secretly kind of a geek and loves sci-fi, anime etc but hides this from his family and friends for fear of looking like a loser to them. This geeky side is not really as well hidden as he thinks though. He has a somewhat obsessive personality and when he finds something he likes, he tends to focus all of his attention on it for prolonged periods of time. When he was younger, he was obsessed with superheroes and spent pretty much all of his time reading comic books and even pretending to be his favourite heroes. He still reads comics but has hung up his costumes for good. Although he does still fantasize from time to time about being a superhero. Some other examples of Charlie's previous obsessions include music, motorcycles, archery, computer hacking, the zombie apocalypse and, for some reason, spinning tops....He still has a collection of them.
Charlie is also very intelligent and actually graduated high school two years early, which he is very thankful for. He finds it somewhat hard to make friends as he's not the best at reading social situations. The few friends that he does have, however, he is unfalteringly loyal to.

"Everything happens for a reason. But sometimes the reason is that you're stupid and make bad decisions."
History Charlie is the youngest of the Carrington siblings. The tenth child of Reginald and Cassiopeia Carrington, Charlie was raised more by his older siblings and a string of nannies than by his parents who were too busy running half the world. Or at least that's how it seemed to Charlie. Despite the fact that his parents paid him very little attention, Charlie was ostensibly well cared for. By the time he was old enough to realize it, many of his siblings had already left home but a few, closer to his age, remained.
Charlie was particularly close to his sister, Marisol. Mari was only a couple of years older than Charlie and would always play with her little brother, which Charlie enjoyed, despite the fact that she had a tendency to get him into trouble. But like the rest of his brothers and sisters, there came a day when Mari left home too, leaving Charlie finally alone.
But the strange thing is, Charlie was fine with this. Sure, he'd miss his sister but he rather enjoyed being alone. It gave him time to do all the things he wanted to do. Which usually meant reading a book or learning some new skill. Charlie had always been a somewhat "odd" child, at least by some peoples standards. He didn't really seem to handle social situations all that well but he was very intelligent for his age so it made perfect sense to him that he should lock himself away in the Carrington family library and study.
He did eventually come at least somewhat out of his shell in high school where he made a few close friends who could overlook his eccentricities and see the kind hearted, goofball Charlie underneath. His relationship with these friends was strained somewhat when Charlie was pushed ahead in school and actually graduated two years early but he has managed to keep on good terms with most of them. Since leaving high school, Charlie has been courted by some of the most prestigious colleges in the country and even some abroad. He has chosen not to attend college yet however, much to the chagrin of his parents. Charlie was bullied all through high school for his intelligence. It was made all that much worse when he was pushed ahead two years. And so he has decided to wait until he is 18 to attend college so as to avoid looking even more socially awkward than he already is. Plus, he's much rather wait for his friends to catch up to him so they can attend together.
Charlie may be one of the heirs to one of the wealthiest families in the country but many people believe he will go on to do great things and make a fortune of his own one day.
EducationCharlie graduated from high school two years early but hasn't yet moved on to college, despite being accepted to some of the most prestigious schools in the country.
Favorite memoryHis first kiss. This was the first time he realized that physical contact with others didn't have to be as awkward as he always thought it was.
Least favorite memoryThe constant bickering of his family. It's hard to choose just one.
