{|PERSONALITY|}


People tend to feel a certain calm when someone like Salem is around, he doesn't tend talk much about himself, or just in general, and calling him reserved would be a correct assumption indeed. Not much seems to faze Salem, and it is often hard to elicit a genuine reaction out of him, though it is clear that when he chooses to bare his emotions out there, he does so in a deliberate, and careful manner. At his best, he is polite to a fault, charming and eloquent through his speech and mannerism, and quite observant. If there is anything that strikes others about Salem is his ability to point out the tiniest of details out of a clutter, to listen to those who cannot speak easily, and to understand others. He makes a good companion if anything, as he tends to absorb the problems of others, and is able to relate with most anyone. Salem is not shy by any long shot, rather his quiet persona tends to lead to that conclusion, rather the times when he finds himself without words to speak are when he is deep in thought, the man is philosophical in his nature, he's the type of person to think before he leaps, and he never seems too out of his element, or panicked.

Although, beneath this reserved nature, lies a man deeply disturbed by his mental problems. Salem tends to have an overwhelming case of anxiety that seems to prey on him in his worse moments, though for someone who's had this as a life long problem, it has become shockingly easy for him to hide it. Not to mention that when he fears something, that fear tends to exacerbate itself in his subconscious and eat away at him. Owning to his OCD, the man has himself constantly checking the doors, rooms, and closets of his house, he stresses over whether or not he left the stove on before leaving home, and can sometimes find himself completely frustrated by the fact that he can't do something correctly the first time like he wants to. Many of these things tends to stretch his mind thing, to make him more aloof than he actually is, while at the same time observant of every new environment and detail. In a sense, it is the one reason why he finds it difficult to get close to others, as he has yet to encounter anyone who truly understands him, even if he's gone out of his way to do so for others.

||OCCUPATION||
English and Art Teacher at LSOA


||BIOGRAPHY||
If asked at any other time Salem would easily dismiss the idea of describing his life before moving to Elk River, he'd want to say something along the lines of him having a rather normal childhood, much like anybody else, but anyone savvy enough to know him, would know that is definitely not the truth. What you should know is that Salem is glad that he's away from the bonds he formed long ago in some other place, his presence here is all that matters nowadays, he has his dog, his small, cozy house, a nice job. He really couldn't ask for more. It should be duly noted though, that people often comment that the young teacher looks as if he going to doze off in the middle of his lessons at times, which can be easily attributed to his aggressive insomnia, his inability to relax his mind at the most pertinent of times has brought him this life long problem, regardless it hasn't stopped him from functioning in the daytime hours, he can, if he's lucky, get at least 2 hours of sleep, after though it's not too much of a struggle to stay awake. His days in college might have given him this resistance to drowsiness during the day, since in his mind that was his insomnia at it's peak. Yet, even if he can ward off the need to sleep, it doesn't stop others commenting on the bags under his eyes, and the general drone of his voice during certain parts of the day.
