Just as you'd expect from a studious honor student that aims to be a CEO of a large corporation one day, Theo is very clean cut. From his face, to his clothing to his hair and the pair of glasses that almost always hang on his face. He's tall and lean and has fairly sharp and handsome features to his face, but most don't notice this due to the fact that they are almost always hidden behind some sort of book or journal. Theo doesn't see himself as a handsome guy, nor does he care for looks to any extent, but takes care of his hygiene and makes sure his clothes are always pressed and ironed to perfection.

6 feet, 1 inch and 160 lbs
{Hair and Eye Color}
Slick, black hair that hands to just above his ears
dark brown eyes with subtle golden specks.
{Distinguishing Markings}
A long white scar (about 3 inches in length) across his right shoulder blade.
When Theo was merely nine years old, his family went on a trip to the Bahamas. One day while they were at the beach, Blue who was only six years old at the time, suddenly disappeared. The entire family went crazy looking for him. Finally, after a long frantic search, Blue was spotted at a construction sight near by, at the bottom of a narrow manhole. Construction workers tried their best to get the boy out while they waited on the firefighters, but with no result. Theo, being the only one thin enough to fit down the hole, didn't think twice before asking the men to tie a rope around his waist and lower his down to his brother. But on their way back up, a sharp metal beam hooked onto Theo's skin, cutting from the bottom of his shoulder blade almost to the base of his neck. The wound healed with time, but the scar remained as a reminder of how he almost lost his younger brother.

Over view here.
Theo is almost the definition of your typical bookworm. He's a quiet guy, keeping to himself most of the time, He doesn't go out of his way to socialize nor does he make conversations unless he is spoken to first. This does not mean he's shy, not by any means. He will never back down when confrunted nor will he let others walk all over him. That's the assumption most people make when they first meet Theo, taking him for a shy pushover. But they couldn't be more wrong. Theo is strong willed and determined. He will do anything he sets his mind to and no force on heaven, hell or earth is able to stop him. In that sense, he can be fairly stubborn. He's not one to back down from an argument, especially when he knows he's right. He also carries a bit of a short tempter, something only a select few have ever been able to witness. But underneath all the good grades and high expectations, Theo is as kind-hearted as they come.

Rolling his eyes when he doesn't have a comeback for an argument.
Being the middle child was never easy for Theo. When is was just him and his sister Ana, he would get babied often due to the fact he was the youngest, but his sister would get all of the good toys and presents because she was the only girl, and Theo was convinced she was their mother's favorite. And then, when Blue came into the picture, it only worsened his situation. He often felt ignored, Because Ana was their precious girl and Blue was their little baby boy. Theo couldn't help but feel envy for them, so he set out to be someone his parents could be proud of. He studied day and night, Monday to Sunday to ensure he got the best grades possible. In a way, it gave him what he always wanted, praise and attention from his parents. However, because he was so busy studying, he failed to see the obvious signs of a broken marriage.
Things were kept on the low for a while. Eventually, Ana got engaged, married a wonderful guy and moved out of the house. Hvaing been the oldest and aware of everything happening around them, Ana always managed to keep their parents fights at bay. So when she left, everything fell apart. At the age of 14, Theo watched his mother walk out their front door, leaving his father, his brother and him behind. This then sprouted a chain of rebelious attitudes in Blue, and Theo felt like he had no right to scold him. Had he not wasted so much time on being better than his siblings and actually tried to grow close to them, his younger brother in particular, he could have been of some help to him. He felt guilty for what happened not only with Blue but with is parents, and from then on swore to always be there for Blue no matter what the situation called for.
