Eric is an outgoing, straight-shooting type of guy. He's generally enthusiastic about most things; when he's not drinking. He's a "doer" who tends to live in the world of action. He's blunt, straight-forward, and liked to take risks. He lives in the here-and-now, and places little importance on introspection or theory. He looks at the facts of a situation, quickly decides what should be done, executes the action, and moves on to the next thing. Maybe at times he makes his decisions a bit too quickly and tends to be impulsive. Eric also has an uncanny ability to perceive people's attitudes and motivations. He picks up on little cues which go completely unnoticed by most other people such as facial expressions and stance. He's typically a couple of steps ahead of the person he is interacting with. Normally, this would be a good thing. But Eric uses this ability to get what he wants out of a situation. Rules and laws are simply guidelines for behavior, rather than mandates. If he has decided that something needs to be done, then his "do it and get on with it" attitude takes precedence over the rules. However, he does know the difference between right and wrong, and he will stick to his principles no matter what, unless he's drunk. The Rules of the Establishment may hold little value, but his own integrity mandates that he will not do something which he feel to be wrong.
Eric has quite a strong flair for drama and style. This is probably what cause people to think he was gay back in middle school. He's fast-moving, fast-talking, and he loves the finer things in life. This includes fashion and theater, though he has repressed that part of him. It caused too much teasing and he couldn't handle for people to think that he was anything but manly. He's also very good at storytelling and improvising. Eric makes things up as he goes along, rather than following a plan. He loves to have fun, and is considered a very fun person to be around. He can sometimes be hurtful to others without being aware of it, as he generally does not know and does not care about the effect his words have on others. It's not that he doesn't care about people, it's that his decision-making process does not involve taking people's feelings into account. He makes decisions based off of what's best for him and him alone. After all, it's a kill or be killed world out there and Eric is going to do his best not to be hurt.
Eric's least developed area is his intuitive side. He is impatient with theory, and sees little use for it in his quest to "get things done". When Eric does have strong intuitions, they are always way off-base no matter how sure he is. As a result of this, Eric does not trust his instincts, and is suspicious of other people's intuition as well. He also is weak in school, especially when theory is more important then facts. He simply gets bored with classes when he doesn't find them useful. That's probably why he's dropped out. He's intelligent, but school was just a chore for him.
Due to the abuse that he's gone through in life, Eric doesn't really know how to hold his tongue. He would never hit anyone, but verbally he is an abusive ass. When he's not angry or drunk, he is very eloquent. But anger and alcohol make him trip up and say things out of sheer frustration. This has lost him many friends and perhaps the only person to ever care for him, but he simply doesn't know how else to handle his anger.

Eric was born in England to a Mrs. Marissa Jones and a Mr. Chris Delaney. No, his mother and father weren't married. His mother was though. Only not to his father. This led to her life falling apart. Her husband found out, her parents sided with him, and she never saw Chris again. After a messy divorce and an even messier fallout after the divorce, she found that it was too late to have an abortion. And after all of this, she was laid off of her job. In other words: Eric destroyed his mother's life before he was even born. And he will never live it down, no matter how much he tries. He has tried though. He's tried everything. When his mother got remarried, he tried his very best to like his "new dad," even when he lost his temper and hurt Eric. He even tried to like his stepdad when Marissa spent a day away on their 'second honeymoon'... on Eric's birthday. He stopped trying though when he came to school with a black eye and broken wrist, and his mother didn't care less. He is fairly sure that this was the turning point in his life; the point where he stopped caring what the fuck authority thought about him.
When he first met Emmalinna, she was his dream girl. They were young, attractive, looked great together, and were great together. She was sweet, cute, and the complete opposite of what he was. In his eyes, she was more than perfect. And he was happy. They met in school, like most couples. He was a junior and she was a sophomore; not much of an age difference. He was much poorer then she was, but he still scrapped up enough to buy her a gift every now and again. After two years, he was beginning to think that maybe he loved her.. He had his occasional outbursts (like when he was upset but didn't want to say anything, and she was her bubbly self), but a few months before the break, he loved her, and was even vocal about it a few times. But as his life spiralled out of control, so did his relationship. When his stepdad lost his job, Eric became even more temperamental. He would yell at Emmie for no reason at times and never provide her with an explanation. Then he started up drinking and he became violent. No, Eric never hit her. He would never go that far, but he did say some pretty awful things. He called her names, insulted her intelligence, and even made her faint a few times. Then he began cheating on her. She didn't know at first, but when he got lazy, it got obvious. Whn she caught him, Eric actually waved her off. He was drunk and she was annoying him. Now, he hasn't exactly broken up with her. He just stopped talking to her. So yea, they're probably broken up now.
Maybe he's gotten better since they split, or maybe he's gotten worse. He really doesn't know. He still drinks , though not as much. But Emma was the best thing to happen to his life, and now she's gone.
