|Birthmarks, Tattoos, and Scars|
"My only real outstanding feature is my glasses. I'm ridiculously plain."
a few light scars across his wrists and upper arms, nothing more complex than that,
though. he also has his glasses, which he only wears about half the time anyway.
|Personality|
"I'm definitely not the nicest guy around. Runs in the family. But I'm an optimist."
starry-eyed and hugely passionate, rory is a lover, not a fighter, but he's still a bit rude to
those he doesn't know. it's borne of a slight shyness he's masked since he was very young.
an introvert, it takes him a long time to learn things and longer still to comprehend change
in a positive manner. with a great memory, he holds onto feelings very passionately and
has a hard time feeling neutral about something, he must instead feel either very strongly
positively, very strongly negatively, or simultaneously strongly in both directions, he also,
as a result of his holding onto emotions, has a very hard time giving up grudges or
found-less fears/first opinions of people he makes upon meeting them. quick to rely on
tobacco, alcohol, or marijuana, he has an addictive personality, not only with substances
but with food and people just the same. he loves people who share his interests and have
a good amount of affection for him. when someone is good to him, unless they've been
exceptionally bad to him in the past, rory will be twice as good in return. he becomes
fiercely protective of and loyal to those he is very close to, and if someone so much as
touches his little sister when she doesn't want them to, he's more than willing to defend
her tooth and nail.
|Likes|
β comic books | especially spider man, that's his favorite, he and his sister read it together
and have since they were both very little. they're both devoted to and in love with comic
books and such.
β lighters | rory loves collecting lighters, any cool kind he can find, he buys and he's
actually got quite the collection at the moment.
β his family | this doesn't extend to rory's parents or anyone besides his sister in his
blood family, but more refers to both his sister and his friends he deems his closest,
and in some perfect way, they are kind of his family.
β his glasses | this is more in line with 'being able to see' for rory, but he has to take
them off to work with animals, which he loves to do, and for most other tasks because
he's broken so many pairs doing those things, and he gets quite forgetful putting them
back on.
β animals | rory fucking loves animals, he volunteers at the denver animal shelter every
single day that he doesn't work and he absolutely adores dogs, this goes along with how
well dogs also seem to like him.
β reading | before rory worked at a book shop, he actually hated reading, mostly just
for the fact that it took a lot of patience to sit down and digest a whole book, patience
he didn't really have when he was younger. but now he has a lot of fun doing it and
enjoys it quite a bit.
|Dislikes|
β tests | well, this should be, 'taking tests sober', because he has huge test anxiety and
when he doesn't get high or drunk before big tests he tends to freak out, he really
really hates them.
β school | this kind of goes along with the one above; rory has a really hard time
learning in quite the same way as school would like him to. it stresses him out a
lot and
β wet cigarettes | he doesn't mind the paper being wet but he has a huge grudge
against cigarettes that have a wet filter, so if his friends get his cigarettes wet stealing
drags, he gets pissy and grumbles for a couple seconds in their general direction.
β gardening | as many times as he's tried, rory can never get his green thumb to
activate.
β 90% of his sister's boyfriends | taking over where his careless father's given up
some slack to the reigns, rory is ridiculously protective over those who sleep with or
date his baby sister. it's kind of funny, actually.
|Strengths|
"Do I even have any?"
protective and loyal, rory is a great friend and would be an amazingly careful and
dedicated lover. he's wicked passionate and actually pretty creative, and he's actually
alright at thinking very clearly in a crisis. gentle, he respects life in all he can. he
has a nurturing soul and loves to help those around him. he's usually rather open
about himself, his faults, and how he feels, and is a particularly good listener. his
charisma isn't terrible either. and he's an undying optimist and hopeless romantic,
as well, so he can't be that bad at heart.
|Weaknesses|
"Where does the list fuckin' end?"
a brat on first encounter, he's rude to people he's just met and very shy, when not actually
in any danger, he's extraordinarily anxious, and has too much adrenaline to really
know what to do with it. he's physically awkward and holds grudges, he's stubborn
and will cling to his ideas long after he's been disproved simply to try to be right,
often a little jealous, he can be a little vain and likes a lot of positive attention.
alongside that, he has a horridly addictive personality, is very self loathing, and
excruciatingly self destructing, which is a toxic cocktail most days, and is
extremely volatile when his very commonly shifting moods are also in swing.
rory can also be horrifically impatient at times and when he's moody he's
particularly antisocial.
|Fears|
"I really hate large bodies of water. Anything bigger than a bathtub is not for me."
large bodies of water and the fear of both drowning and, strangely enough, wales and
dolphins plagues rory. he feels ill at ease around large fish and sharks, and
aquariums actually both terrify and titillate him.
|Equipment|
"Search me, officer, I'm totally clean."
rory usually has on his personage, a pack of marlboros, a half dozen assorted lighters,
a smidge of the green stuff, two or three one hitter pipes or spoon pipes,
a pack of mechanical pencils, a sketch pad, a graph paper pad, at least one
pathfinder book, at least one reading book, his housekeys, his wallet,
which contains his pocket cash, his library cards, his driver's license, a
single safety pin, a toothpick, and a piece of thick wire (coated black at one
end). rory also often has a text book, a classbook or two, his cellphone,
a necklace his sister gave him when she was like nine (a simple silver chain),
a couple tangerines or other small, transportable fruit, his mp3 player,
a comic or two, and he constantly has extra tobacco shoved into his
clothing and bags' pocket crevices.
|History|
"My childhood was fine. What about you?"
rory's father met his mother when he was eighteen and she was twenty-three. the five
year age difference bothered no one so much as the fact that he was an
air force man and she an american romanichal gypsy. rory's mother's
father was a truckdriver, and the small family traveled around with him
most of the time. both of rory's parents' parents hated the idea of them
being wed. they did it anyway, and never deployed far from home, rory's
father settled down with his mother in a two bedroom apartment in salt
lake city. to make ends meet, his mother took on a part time catering
job and for most of rory's childhood, his mother and father were working
and he was left to his own devices or to a constantly shifting daycare
facility's staff. he was an inquisitive child, but impatient, and too intelligent
for the small amount of attention his parents payed to him. his one year
younger sister (who took much more after their father, in both demeanor
and appearance) suffered much the same problem in her early years.
whe young parents were also terribly bad at providing the stability a pair
of young children needed. when their father was removed from his position
in the airforce for his rude drinking behaviors, he never really held down
another job and slipped in and out of alcoholism through most of the
siblings' formative years. their mother was flighty, a woman with hardly
any inspiration to stay in one job or place for very long, so after their
father was no longer an airforce member (which happened when rory
was in fifth grade), the family was constantly on the move, staying, usually,
only long enough to stay out a school year or semester here or there.
this shook the siblings up quite a bit and taught them to cling to one
another. rory looked for comfort from outward sources, while his sister
cut inward and cut herself off from the rest of the world. both siblings,
though, were damaged a lot by the inconsistencies of their adolescent
and childhood years.
the siblings' parents divorced when rory was in ninth grade, and their
father remarried within the year, to a much more stable woman, who
had no children of her own but was very wealthy, thus bringing about
both a new state of improved wealth and a huge amount of stability to
the siblings' lives. rory, his father, and his sister, moved in with their
new step mother just outside of aspen briefly before rory's sophomore
year and then moved to denver just this past summer, this is the
siblings' first semester at east high, but they're pretty used to new
schools, all told.
