Parker grew up in a middle class neighborhood in southern Massachusetts. He was raised by his mother only, since Parker's father, and her then-boyfriend, left as soon as he found out that she was pregnant. His mother wasn't a teenage mother, she wasn't drug-addicted and had decent family support, so it wasn't like things were completely working against them from the start. However, raising a child on a single income, especially when you hadn't gone to college yourself, was difficult, and Parker's mother realized that soon after his birth. She refused to move back in with her parents for pride's sake, and found a small one bedroom apartment in a decent middle class neighborhood that she could afford. Parker grew up in a good school district, with the best possible life that his mother's income as a hairdresser could provide, but he was always "the poor kid", compared to his friends. It wasn't like any of them were very wealthy per se, but moth of them had two working parents, or at least one working parent who had a better job than his mother's. They all lived in real houses, with backyards and driveways and their own personal mailboxes, and it was the little things like that that always made him jealous. Even then, though, it wasn't like Parker was bullied or treated poorly by his peers as a young kid, so he was content with just internally longing for a more normal family life.
When he got older though, that changed a bit. His mother had only dated a few times when he was a child, and all of them were short term things, to a point where Parker never even met the men. His mother was good, in that respect, that she wasn't introducing random men to him and trying to force someone to fill the father role that created a void in his life. However, by the time that he entered middle school, as a middle aged woman, his mother was finally embracing her sexuality, and that she was bisexual. She began a relationship with another woman when he was in sixth grade, and by the time that he was in the ninth grade, the two were married. It wasn't something that bothered Parker personally, but once his friends found out, they did pick on him. It began as what probably seemed like harmless jokes by then, but as more people found out, it somehow convinced people that he was weird. He wasn't from a traditional upbringing like him, and therefore, he was suddenly unable to be related to, even by people who had acknowledged him as a good friend just weeks before. He still wasn't being completely bullied, to a point where he was tormented or physically picked on, but more than anything, it made him insecure and forced him to become a bit reclusive from his normal peers. He quit the baseball and track teams, stopped calling his friends on the weekend to see if they wanted to hang out, and began to hang out with a different crowd. It would be a lie to say that he suddenly turned into some "bad boy" rebel, but he began to tamper with gateway drugs and alcohol. Luckily, he had always been pretty smart, and he maintained his grades well enough, just because he knew that once it was time for college, he wanted to get out. Out of this town, out of this state... hell, at one point, he even considered leaving the country. However, he eventually settled on Fulton University, and has been attending since.
- He has a known "type" when it comes to girls, and that's girls who tend to be virgins or have little sexual experience, and who rock that whole "innocent" girl demeanor.
- He's surprisingly smart. He's not the next Einstein or anything, but people wouldn't expect him to do as well in his courses as he does. However, he isn't studious and rarely studies for anything. The only indicator of him being a good student is that he tends to do his assignments right away, when they're assigned, rather than putting them off and procrastinating.
- He likes spearmint gum, and is frequently carrying a pack.
- He's rarely late for anything.

Controlling | Manipulative | Sensitive | Impulsive
Personality:
Parker is one of those guys who are dangerous, because he'll rope you in with that charming smile and those bright blue eyes, maybe a question about your childhood or an intelligent conversation about something, and then he'll pounce. He'll get you thinking that he's a nice guy, someone who's genuinely interested in you, and not just your body, and you'll only realize the truth the next morning when you wake up alone in your bed, since he left an hour before without saying goodbye or even thanks for the fun night. He'll either never speak to you again, and act like nothing ever happened, or he'll insist that you do it again, but he'll never want more than just casual sex, on his terms, with you. You'll realize that his flirting is strictly an attempt at getting into your pants, and that he's so manipulative and good with his words, that even you, someone who prides themselves in being perceptive and on-guard, fell for it. That's his biggest strength, in his mind, but also a major flaw, in mainly everyone else's minds. He has a thing for girls who seem like they're new to guys like him, and will fall for his tricks, and it's fucked up, but he lives off of that power streak.
On that note, you would probably wonder how anyone could be friends with Parker? He's a power-hungry, manipulative guy who seems to prey off of girls who are just looking for love. You're right there, but just like any other human being, Parker has more than one side, and if you're not someone that he wants to have sex with, you probably will never even see that side of him. What you will be more privy to, is the side of Parker that makes him so easy to like, that he can manipulate people. And if his intentions aren't to manipulate you, than this side is pretty genuine. He's playfully competitive when it comes to sports or video games, and never turns down a challenge. He's friendly and can keep conversations, intelligent or small talk, going without any issues, and since he knows what it feels like to be belittled, he does a good job at making people feel like he's interested in what they're saying. Especially with his Sigma brothers, he's loyal and dedicated, but this extends to anyone who he's friends with, really. He's intelligent, punctual, and a responsible student.
Aside from the girls who see him as a guy who just wants to use them for sex, most people actually find Parker to be a decent guy. That's because most of his other flaws are internalized ones, where he's very insecure about himself and is always looking to fit in with other people, even if it means going against his values and morals.
Greatest joys in life:
Right now, his greatest joys are partying, and all of the bad vices that come with that, girls, and feeling in control. Catch him wasted on three AM after a Friday night of partying, though, and he'll tell you that pizza is the absolute best thing that has ever existed in his life.
Greatest fears:
He has a fear of being outcasted or looked down upon, due to his experience in high school. He doesn't like being the odd one out in a group. He's scared of failing out of college (even though it's pretty unfounded), and of not being able to get a job.
Life philosophy:
"Just do it."

Parker really enjoys being a part of Greek Life. He never had any siblings, so having his Sigma brothers has given him a sense of family and brotherhood that he never had growing up. Being a Sigma, and being so understandably involved in partying has been appealing to him as well, not only because it's fun, but because it gives him an excuse to drink and use party drugs excessively, rather than confront his emotions and thoughts. In terms of sororities, he has to admit that he probably favors the Thetas and Alphas over the Zetas only because he has a thing for that "good girl" type. It's more prevalent in the Thetas than the Alphas, but even some of the Alphas have that whole "I'm too good to even think about touching you" thing going on, and he loves proving them wrong.
Plans for after college:
His biggest post-college goal is to get a job, and a good paying one, at that. He wants to make money, and even though he has no intentions of starting a family any time soon, he wants to save up enough money so that his future kid will never be deprived of anything. Although he likes Florida (aside from its heat), he thinks that spending some time in a big city, like New York or Los Angeles, would be fun, while he's still young.
Parker stands at 6'0, and maintains an athletic figure that's neither too bulky, nor too frail. He goes to the gym regularly but does more cardio than weight lifting.
Hair Colour:
It's a light brown color, that, when it gets frequent sun, sometimes almost turns light enough to be considered dirty blonde.
Eye Colour:
Blue
Distinguishing Marks:
N/A
Style:
His style is simple and mainly casual. T-shirts or sleeveless shirts and shorts, matched with a pair of sandals or sneakers work fine for him. He dresses for comfort, plus, he doesn't have the money to buy designer stuff, even if he was interested in that.
