Name:
Bryce Tobias Cornelias Krowely (Rarely goes by "Toby")

Age:
23

Gender:
Male

Appearance:
Bryce is a handsome young man, standing at 6'3" and weighing in at 160lbs. He has a very lean figure, having a far from muscular frame. His arms and legs are very thin, even his fingers and toes being long and slender. He has a very graceful kind of apperance, looking almost like a weeping willow when he idles and slumps his shoulders like he always does. His eyes are a very pale, blue-green, and are light enough to look almost colorless from a distance. He usually wears a T-shirt with some kind of buttonup shirt over it, or just a long-sleeved top of some kind. Unless he is forced to wear otherwise, he wears jeans or cargo pants with tennis shoes, having a very casual look to him. He has longer, auburn hair which is always messy and unkept, despite being clean, which is cut barely an inch and a half above his shoulders, while his bangs are kept shorter and swept to the side to stay out of his face. All in all, Bryce just has that typical stoner look, longer (but not long hair) hair and some light stubble that he rarely bothers to shave. The only real notable thing about him is that he has some scars (some large, some small) from a car accident he had at the end of Junior year. (Click here for awkward High School Bryce)


Secret:
Bryce drugged and boozed up his little sister at a party, his sister always being the good studious girl that wanted to break free and have a good time. Near the end of the party, Bryce passed out after getting rather intoxicated and high, making his little sister have to drive them home. Due to her being under the influence of both alcohol and drugs, she was clearly not okay to drive, and ended up crashing the car. While Bryce suffered from various injuries and had several surgeries, he lived. His sister, however, suffered very severe injuries and barely kept her life, but has been comatose since then, with no signs of waking. In the end, they blamed peer pressure for her drug and alcohol consumption and didn't once suspect her loving brother. So, because of that, he still does drugs behind closed doors where no one can see, almost overwhelmed with guilt over his sister.

Background:
Bryce (Born April 27th) is the second oldest child in a family with four children. His parents were kind people, his mother being a teacher and his father being a company official who worked from home so that he could keep an eye on the children, being rarely called away to one of the company buildings. His siblings weren't just his family, but also his friends. Derek, the oldest brother (older than Bryce by 4 years), was a bit of a jerk at times, but was also fun to be around and always spent some kind of time with his other siblings. Bryce was the second child. His little sister, Rebecca, (younger by two years) was his best friend, kind and thoughtful, extremely studious, with a bit of a secret wild side. Their youngest sister, Lisa, was five years younger than Bryce, being the baby of the family - Bratty and a immature, but prone to random acts of kindness and generosity.

Bryce's home like was like the typical family really, living an almost ideal life. Living in a house with two parents who loved each other, three wonderful siblings, and - Yes - even a dog. Bryce was a bright child through school, though tended to be easily distracted. Then Bryce became a freshman in high school and found the wonders of partying. He was turned onto alcohol and drugs, and was drawn in due to the peer pressure as well as the thought of something out of the ordinary. He kept this a well kept secret from his family, that is, until he was in an accident at the end of his junior year.

He and Rebecca had been driving back home from a party, Rebecca driving illegally, when they swerved sharply to the right to avoid traffic at an intersection just outside of town and hit a tree head on, both he and Rebecca being thrown through the windshield. After he recovered and was released form the hospital, he went home to grieving, worried, and relieved parents. Since then, they blamed the accident on the peer pressure and assumed bullying for the drug and alcohol consumption which they think is behind the accident.

Since graduating high school, Bryce entered a college and is almost done with his double major of Computer/Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. He lives in his own apartment away from the town he grew up in, trying to both excell in his studies and kind a girlfriend he can stay with, who won't leave him for his unhealthy habit, which is smoking weed as well as getting drunk with friends he has on campus.

Personality:
Bryce is an extremely laid back person, making jokes in tense situations and trying to keep everyone relaxed. He tends to be somewhat childish in some ways, in possession mostly, rarely in action. He doesn't really take things seriously until it's clear to him that something could possibly hurt them or his friends. He's the kind of person that if danger, may try and fight at first, but is quick to turn, run, and hide. Occasionally, he'll babble about some kind of conspiracy to explain anything he can't understand. Bryce is quite the partier, as well. He always has some weed on him and always seems to know a way to have fun, or at least try to. His personality is almost that of an eccentric older brother. He's protective, friendly, and helpful while also being irritating like most siblings are.

Other:
Bryce has a crippling fear of water he can't see to the bottom to, or even bodies of water he can see to the bottom to but are around the size of a large swimming pool. Bryce's fear of water comes from an irrational fear of sharks, irrational meaning that he assumes they are in every large, deep bodies of water - Lakes, Pools, and even very large bathtubs. Bryce also tends to have weakness in his left leg and right arm, due to the accident he had at the end of junior year, sometimes walking with a limp or holding/massaging his upper arm/shoulder.
