. d e s c r i p t i o n . Dr. Henry Fines is never one to realize how disheveled he may look nor that anyone else would even be thinking about how he looked. Comfy is his only goal when it comes to his appearance. He's usually found a pair of old jeans or wrinkled khakis. He must have a dresser full of denim blue button-ups since that is almost always what he has on and is always as wrinkled as his pants. To complete the whole 'I don't care' look up, he wraps himself in a multi-colored knit sweater and slips on his well-worn Birkenstocks.
His hair, while pushed back, usually looks as if he just woke up, as do his eyes. He always looks exhausted even though he has an obvious love of coffee, drinking it whenever he can.

. d e s c r i p t i o n . James appears to be Dr. Fine's twin but only in their DNA, not in how they dress nor act. Some say he even looks younger, especially since he does not don any facial hair. James loves fine suits and is not caught without one on unless he is disrobed. He is a man who is always well-groomed and put-together. He usually smells of a hint of clean-smelling cologne and cigars. Unlike his apparent brother, he also does not share Henry's look of constant exhaustion. He is overall, a much more refined version of Henry.

. p e r s o n a l i t y . Henry is pretty introverted but enjoys his trips to the local cafe. He is pretty quiet but he likes to observe. Sometimes he butts in on conversations but not to be rude but because he thinks he is being helpful. He can seem nervous and jittery due to the high amounts of caffeine he consumes. Certain tense or overwhelming situations can cause a bit of a stutter. He is not a fan of crowded or loud places. He is often lost in his own thoughts.

§ . p e r s o n a l i t y . James is the opposite of Henry in almost every way. He stands tall with pride in himself. He loves himself and makes sure others know it. He is confident and bold, not afraid to say anything that may come into his corrupt mind. His favorite thing to do is to screw up Henry's life in some way by spending his money, destroying his relationships, and generally getting him into trouble.
Henry Jekyll grew up in a dark, dirty milling town in the Enchanted Realm, surrounded by what his father would call men's men. His mother died early in his life, too early to remember, and was left to the whims of his 'man's man' father and brother. Henry was not a tough kid. He was skinny and pale and didn't like to get dirty. He was the opposite of his brother and brought no pride to his father. He was a tiny, frail black sheep. His father tried to toughen him up for a time but eventually gave up and instead took it upon himself to berate and tear down his son about his size and temperament whenever he could. 'You'll never amount to anything' and all that.
When he was twenty he was accepted into a big city medical college on a scholarship and was able to free himself from his father's home by living in dormitories. When he departed his father had nothing more to say than he was wasting his time. Henry spent years in school earning the title of Doctor of Physical Medicine. He excelled in pharmaceuticals and was praised for his ability to create new tinctures and droughts for ailments.
Now almost 30, he opened his own practice and pharmacy but he quickly found how tough life was outside of the dormitories and in the real world of the dark city. He was frequently robbed and strongarmed. He could do nothing to fend the thieves off. He was too afraid to shoot a gun and had no strength to match them. All the feelings of inadequacy from his youth were bubbling up.
The last straw was the fateful day the thugs came to collect while the woman Henry fancied, Abigail, was visiting the pharmacy. He was again robbed of any coin he had and all his laudanum. She was also forced to give up her purse and Henry was left with a black eye when he tried to intervene. He could do nothing to stop them.
Henry shut himself in his offices and vowed to create something, some miracle elixir, that would bring out that dominant nature his weakling body was hiding inside. After weeks of failures, accidental poisonings, and sleepless nights, he emerged with something.. unnatural. He didn't remember exactly how it had affected him the night he tested it, just that his apartments were thrashed and trashed. Things he'd never be able to break were broken. He was too deep in his madness and humiliation to consider the dangers.
Abigail visited again, worried that her friend had been closed off for weeks. The same street thugs paid him a visit that afternoon as well. When they started throwing around threats when Henry refused to give them anything, he took the elixir. To everyone's horror, Henry's body contorted and grew, bulging with muscles but in a most unnatural fashion. His clothing tore and there was wickedness in his eyes. Sadly in the uncontrolled mayhem, Abigail was also a victim of this alter ego.
Desperate and destroyed, Henry could not keep the call of the man known as Edward Hyde at bay. He was always poking and prodding in Henry's mind causing him to succumb to the elixir. The cursed washed over just as the police were gaining on the truth.

Dr. Henry Fines has memories of always being the odd one out. He never fit in and he had a hard time keeping his intelligence from rubbing people the wrong way. He began hearing a voice in his head quite young and it took a while before he realized this was not normal. The voice was an amalgam of all the bullies that had ever picked on him, berating him. Some days he could tune it out, others he could hardly bear it, but he suffered in secret.
He managed to continue what looked like a normal life throughout school and into college. He graduated magna cum laude at Harvard and quickly set up practice in New York as a licensed psychiatrist, keeping his own mental health issues a secret from the medical board, not having ever been officially diagnosed. With an unadmitted desire to cure himself, he chose the career to help others avoid the suffering he experienced every day.
However, over the years, still suffering in secret from schizophrenia, he developed dissociative identity disorder as well. His alter, James, appeared in front of a colleague one afternoon. When he was himself again and his colleague told him what had happened he begged him not to report him to the licensing board and left the practice.
Dr. Henry Fines found his way to Essex somehow. He was drawn to the small town and decided that would be the place to land... and hide. James still speaks to him every day, berating him, trying to break Henry so he can be let out.
