Description

Personality

Simon is apathetic about most things, but tries to at least come across as nice in conversation. The few things he cares about are his cat Timothy and literature. On the rare occasion that he makes a friend, he does his best to do right by them. He tends to be socially awkward and is always the last one to get the joke, but is pretty smart about everything else. The weirdest thing about him is his acute sense of time and innate ability to tell you, to the minute, when you were born.

Equipment

Simon carries with him a beat up copy of William Faulkner's The Sound and the Fury at all times. He claims this is because he is considering writing about Faulkner for his thesis. This is probably a lie. He carries his things in a largish messenger bag, which has enough supplies to help a person survive the apocalypse. He always carries a pack of cards, a notebook, and a pencil.

History

Simon grew up in a middle class family in a suburban town only about an hour away from the City. He did well in school, and went on to major in Literature in a decent college in the City. He goes there on a scholarship, but he does not room on campus. He owns an apartment about fifteen minutes away where he keeps his cat and his things. He works the early shift at a coffee shop to pay his bills.
