warning! this character is deeply involved in the topic of actively self-harming himself, so if this is a subject that is sensitive to you, please avoid him or let me know to not play him around you.

• 20 years old | vocalist of brave child
• sweet and outgoing to the public eye, he presents himself as a very confident person with a lot of charisma.
• to an extent, he does believe it as a fact at times since he's very dedicated to the music that he makes; so when he feels that he isn't meeting his own standard, he gets easily stressed out.
• he often overworks himself and has a bad habit of forgetting to eat, drink, or sleep at times.
• may be a little bit clingy around the company of people that he enjoys.
• he's the type to get sentimental and brutally honest about his feelings when he's drunk (don't trust him with any secrets, seriously).
• despite how kind he is to the people around him, he judges himself quite harshly. he has a long history of self-harm which developed into a compulsive action that he indulges in even when things may be going right; he's addicted to the pain that it brings and how it grounds him, so because of how frequently he injures himself, he's usually seen with his right arm covered and wearing long pants.
• sometimes his scars or fresh wounds will show, but rather than admitting to harming himself, he acts like he didn't even notice the injuries until it's mentioned and then brushes it off, saying that it's nothing to worry about since he's already healing anyways. additionally, he does the same about his eating and sleeping habits; typically lying about the state of his health, even if he knows it sounds unbelievable.
• as friendly and approachable as he makes himself out to be, he has reoccurring feelings of loneliness as he tends to take everything on by himself. when he feels overwhelmed with this feeling, it leads to him self-harming too, with a box cutter that he keeps on him at all times.
• in secret, he actually experiences many moments of uncontrollable rage when he's frustrated about his music; he ends up throwing and breaking things before inevitably turning to hurting himself when it doesn't help him redirect his anger enough.
• still, he's a sweetheart to whomever he falls in love with; he treats his partner like they're his entire world and writes songs dedicated to them. because of his own habits, he has a tendency to overreact if his partner ever gets injured or is in pain so he does his best to protect them and keep them safe from any sort of harm or distress.
