Beau has been called handsome by many a granny back home and his cheeks seem permanently rosy from all of the pinching. He always has a smile on his face and is usually seen acting jumpy or moving swiftly from board to board or problem to problem. He's pretty tall, but tat's just his good genes talkin'. His southern accent is pretty prevalent, much more so than his sister. And his style is pretty modern. He tends to wear the geekiest t-shirts he can find, but when he's not in that he just layers solids and calls it a day. Did I mention that he has massive spectacles? Able to see a kinked wire from a mile away, but they're a small prescription anyway. And his body is all lean muscle. Him and Evanne understand the importance of physical fitness and are regular workout buddies when she actually does it at a decent hour. He needs his beauty rest.
Beau has always had a lively personality. He has that typical southern charm that he's never afraid to use. It's got him out of more mischief than he could shake a stick at and hasn't failed him since he was in diapers. One bat of those baby blues and you might as well kiss your free will goodbye. Not that he would ever use that for evil. Under that mischievous and playful shell lies a heart of gold and a genuine sense of humor and wonder about the world. It's why he got into computers and electronics in the first place. Along with a fascination with it's complexity and capabilities, he loves puzzles and anything that can challenge his smarts.
The exact opposite of his twin sister, she keeps him grounded and is absolutely the most fun person to poke and prod until they EXPLODE.

Beau has always been fascinated with learning how things worked since he was in little diapers. He'd take apart his toys and, much to his mother's dismay, her appliances, just to see the working bits inside. But he knew just how to get out of trouble. His mother always said that he had a silver tongue, the God of mischief himself come to curse her for all of her wild and crazy days, but she always smiled when she said it.
Once he got to high school age, his twin sister started to act out more. She had problems sleeping when she was a child, but it grew into full blown insomnia by the time they were seniors. Never sleeping can effect mood drastically and Beau found himself doing whatever he could to make her smile, even for a little bit. She was brooding already, but the medicine the doctors gave her never helped much and it only made her more irritable.
This was made even worse for both of them at the sudden death of their mother right after their graduation from high school. A car accident, which luckily managed to take her quickly, instead of suffering for days in a hospital. He never remembered smiling much during that time. Evanne hardly spoke. The mourning period was hard on the both of them as they had no father and their grandparents were long gone. But with Beau's wits, and some help from their mother's life insurance, he was able to put them back on track.
Soon they were in college. He for electrical engineering, while Evanne was off learning to be a mechanic. He excelled at his classes, but his worryfor his sister always pulled him away, much to her chagrin. Pretty soon they both graduated...barely. And were off to find their own adventure together, putting out separate adds that just so happened to be answered by the same band. And the rest is history, really.
