Bye Bye Beautiful - Nightwish http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HenMUlvxJIA
"But should the shadow take the earth
In rolling waves of grey
Ere' stands defiant man in rage
To fight for fading day
In amber doth he take his ground
And shouts to heaven high
With all the might of God's own light
'To die, o' Lord, to die!'"

Description:
Red stands at 5' 11", his stature well proportioned to his toned physique. His fitness is a product of a lifetime of enduring trials and hard labour. Jutting along the insides of his hands where his fingers meet his palms are a collection of rough callouses. His eyes are peircing and serious, his jaw sturdy and defined. His hair is the rich color of blood, from which he derives his name. He walks in a slow, careful manner, his feet beating some metronomic cadence with every cautious step. His vibrant sanguine eyes are constantly flickering, watchfully observant to its every surrounding. Beneath his shirt is a faded collection of deep scars, merely a single example of the many painful consequences merited in his life of struggle.
Personality
Straight-forward, quiet and steadfast, Red is a courageous young man who's seen alot in his short life. While his hardened attitude often makes him appear cold and distant, he holds true to a strict sense of morality imparted to him by his mother. Understanding the value of hard-work and the power of determination, Red finishes what he starts and perseveres in even the grimmest of situations. But the young man is not without his marks. Red's short temper and often violent outbursts of rage have gotten him into trouble on more then one occasion. Feeling himself alone in his life; frustrated with the corruption and desecration around him; Red prefers silence and solitude.

History:
Abandonded by his father and raised by his mother, Red's life has been a difficult journey. He took up work at an early age while still in school to help support his ailing mother, and learned many of life's lessons on the cold, harsh streets. Despite his callous upbringing, his mother talked with him every night, often reading him stories from fairy-tale books or ancient mythology, teaching him about the importance of virtue and nobility. Though his mother is gone, Red swears to uphold her message; striving to live by a code of moral honor. Barely finishing highschool and with no money to go onto college, Red became a drifter. Moving from job to job for as long as each petty career would last; the young straggler simply wanted a place to sleep at night and three square meals a day. Too often he was denied.
Living on the streets for a long portion if his life; Red quickly learned how to fight (and occasionally, how to get his ass kicked). Frequently ill and undernourished, Red found his only solace in his daily readings. Whenever time would allow, a quick passage from one of the volumes in his backpack never failed to raise his spirits. Still in love win Classicism and Romanticism, Red continues to believe in the messages personified in his books. Honor, virtue, love, loyalty...
...and that good will always overcome evil in the end.
