Personality
Rhys is perhaps a bit... what's the word? Sheltered from the know-how of the modern world. He acts as if he lives in times much more civilized than they are today, and is very much so chivalrous. He has mixed qualities of both an introvert and an extrovert, which vary in intensity from time to time. One moment he could be enjoying the company of others, and the next he could be wishing he were the only man alive, left alone with only his thoughts to keep him such joyous company. On that note, he doesn't show any apparent hate towards people, not even those he considers his 'enemies', and instead shows those labeled as such perhaps the highest regard he possibly can. He is very courteous with women, believing that they are delicate things and should be treated as such. He is the type to pull out your chair, or perhaps lay his coat over a puddle so you can walk over, if you were to label him to such stereotypes. And despite all of this, he never actually been in love. Nor has he felt any strong attraction. Rather, love is a concept he still doesn't entirely understand, and he feels it's something just within his grasp, but still far away enough to remain at the tip of his fingers.
Brief Description
Usually hidden beneath his coat, Rhys has a well toned frame. He is of just above average height, with well rounded muscularity. His hair is short, and a light blonde in color, with tresses of hair that fall into his face. His eyes are a golden color, which he likes to associate with the color of ichor, the blood of the Greek Gods. His skin is fair, with a light complexion, and he doesn't tan that well. It shows no apparent blemishes, and he has only the faintest of scars running across his body from various scrapes and scratches. Along the left side of his waist line, and also trailing up the left side of his torso, there is blue fire tattooed. He shows apparent care for his looks, fingernails always trimmed, teeth cleaned, and hair always brushed. His attire hardly changes, and he can be usually seen wearing his dark beige coat. The hood of which is lined with black fur.

History
He was born in the northern states of the US, in a place where it was cold ten months out of the twelve that make a year. And he hated it growing up, the cold. He disliked it all, the freezing, the snow, the lack of sunshine. It was a drag. As he was growing up, he had a bit of a sheltered home life. And was raised on a strict set of rules high into his teen years. Don't be out past a certain time, don't do drugs, don't drink, don't have unprotected sex, ect, ect. But there was one main rule that his father specifically instilled. "Treat a girl like you've loved her a thousand years. Treat her like she's the one, even if she isn't. That way, you'll be able to feel the greatest thing you'll ever know more than once." It was probably one thing taken to heart the most by Rhys, but also a thing he questioned the most. He doubted the sincerity behind it, and still questions the full concept of love to this day.
With the average home life came an average uprising, and Rhys experienced few tragedies. The only of worthy of note was the death of his mother, shortly after he had turned sixteen. It had been the first loss he had experienced, and it had been one of the hardest he ever would in the coming years. This was perhaps the tipping point for Rhys, for a short amount of time. And he indulged in a phase of recklessness and abandon, doing the things he never did before, and many times. This of course, was a phase that didn't last long. And he soon fell back into the same pattern, welcomed once again by his father. Upon his last year at high school, Rhys was called to Curious Academy, and humbly accepted, enrolling to start next term, on the condition that he jump back down the status of Junior.
Soulmate
To be announced.
Other
There was no traumatic events that led to the development of the phobias that Rhys has, and they just developed out of nowhere. To this day, he is not sure why he fears being choked. Nor does he know why he fears needles and sharp objects.
The Day I Left The Womb - Escape the Fate
Mother, where are you today?
You took a piece of me the day you went away,
No recollection nor the smell of your perfume,
I took a piece of you the day I left the womb.
Brother, put your needles down.
The best thing for you is to leave this awful town.
Pretty soon, you'll have kids to feed.
If you see mother, tell her I can sing.
Please don't worry, I am doing fine.
You're much too busy, to even find the time,
So use your chemicals and take this to your grave,
The boys you left are men you didn't raise.
And daddy, how are you today?
You must be proud of the boys that you have raised.
Your withered heart, and everything its seen,
Your cuts and callises, you had kids to feed.
You had kids to feed.
Please don't worry, I am doing fine.
You're much too busy, to even find the time,
So use your chemicals and take this to your grave,
The boys you left are men you didn't raise.
1.) Tell us, how old are you? What sex are you? When were you born?
I am an eighteen year old male, born July 13th.
2.) Tell us, what do you like?
What do I like? Well, I really like turtles. Reptiles in general, but turtles the most. I like roses, fencing, autumn weather, cloudy days, and both the taste and smell of peppermint.
3.) What kind of person are you interested in?
This is a very hard question for me to answer. You see, I'm not entirely sure to what extremity I can even be "interested" in a person. It's all still very new and confusing to me. I guess I'm interested in a person who makes me happy and I feel comfortable being myself around. Don't we all?
4.) What does 'love' mean to you?
I'm not quite sure I can answer this, I'm sorry.
5.) What is your love personality?
I'm not entirely sure what this means, but I suppose I'm very much about chivalry.
6.) Is your glass half full, or half empty?
Ha, actually, I'm quite the realist. Which is probably the exact opposite of an idealist.
7.) Tell me, what kind of soul mate may upset you if you got it?
I think the concept of soul mate would mean that I wouldn't end up being upset with them, because they're matched to me. How could I be upset with that?
8.) How sexually active are you?
I'm not sexually active. At all. Such an odd quiz question. . .
9.) What are places you like, or scenery?
I, for some odd reason, enjoy camping out on top of building roofs.
10.) What did you want to be when you were little? What do you want to be now? Why?
What did I want to do. . .? Oh wow, I'm not entirely sure I remember. I'm fairly certain it had something do with animals. It has something to do with animals now. I want to be a Herpetologist. That's the branch of Zoology that deals with amphibians and reptiles. And I love reptiles. So. Pretty self explanatory.
11.) What are your favorite bands? Favorite songs? Any genres?
Falling In Reverse. My Apocalypse, Not Good Enough For Truth In Cliche, The Day I Left The Womb. Post-Hardcore, Acoustic New Age, Ambient, Jazz, Improv, Rock.
12.) How do you spend free time?
Work at a nearby pet store, and volunteer at the city zoo whenever it's open, usually sticking to the reptile exhibits. Play guitar, read, write, listen to music.
13.) Do you read? What is your favorite book?
I do! My favorite book is The Invisible Man by H.G Wells.
14.) Who was the last person you dated?
I've never actually officially dated a person. Heh. . .
15.) How would you describe yourself?
I'd say I'm a logical person with a sound head on my shoulders. I perhaps think too complexly into things and can hardly grasp the concepts of others. I'm easy to get along with, at times. I can shift between wanting to hang out and wanting to be alone often.
16.) Where would your dream date take place? Why?
Dream date? Venice, Italy. Why? Because I've always wanted to go there since I was a kid. The City of Canals, just the sound of it seems beautiful. I think it'd be the perfect place.
17.) What is your spirit animal?
Spider. Artistic, intuitive, and independent, maybe even a little eccentric. Can become so absorbed in endeavors that it loses track of the outside world and the people in it. But what it gives in return is magic, pure and simple. Artistic genius, ability to see patterns and sense trouble from a distance.
18.) Is there anyone you've got your eye on? *wink* Why?
Not anybody in particular at the moment.
19.) Can you tell us secret you never told anyone?
When my mother died, I got very heavy into drugs for a while before I finally managed to help myself out of it. I was alone and scared and dependent on the chemicals I ingested.
20.) What are the lyrics to the song that describes you best?
Mother, where are you today?
You took a piece of me the day you went away,
No recollection nor the smell of your perfume,
I took a piece of you the day I left the womb.
Brother, put your needles down.
The best thing for you is to leave this awful town.
Pretty soon, you'll have kids to feed.
If you see mother, tell her I can sing.
Please don't worry, I am doing fine.
You're much too busy, to even find the time,
So use your chemicals and take this to your grave,
The boys you left are men you didn't raise.
And daddy, how are you today?
You must be proud of the boys that you have raised.
Your withered heart, and everything its seen,
Your cuts and callises, you had kids to feed.
You had kids to feed.
Please don't worry, I am doing fine.
You're much too busy, to even find the time,
So use your chemicals and take this to your grave,
The boys you left are men you didn't raise.
21.) What color resembles 'Passion', to you? Why?
Passion? In the simplest form of an answer, I'd say red. It's vibrant and demanding. It draws your attention and can be attributed as sexy. It's fiery.
22.) What gets you hot? Why?
I cannot answer this, as I have never had any sexual encounters other than personal carnal urges.
23.) If I walked into your bedroom right now, what may I see?
You'd see various paintings, my turtle in it's cage, two cats curled up on my bed, and myself in bed, under the covers and listening to music whilst using the computer or reading a book.
24.) You like TV, huh? What is your favorite Movie? How about Anime? Why?
I'm not actually that big of a television buff. I don't watch anything. I stick to music and writing and reading.
25.) How would you Impress someone you like?
I'm honestly not sure, I'm not the kind to show off. I suppose I'd just be myself and hope for the best.
