PLAY BY

Edward Speelers.

HAIR COLOR/STYLE

Almost a complete opposite of his brother, Paul's hair is a dark blond, though it tends to be a bit brighter in summer. It doesn't grow past his eyes if he can help it. The shorter it is, the curlier it gets.

EYE COLOR

Paul has deep blue-green eyes that give the impression of him being quite perceptive.

BODY TYPE

Paul is the typical jock. He's definitely got muscle, but it's not overly offensive. Considering his favourite sports are rugby and soccer, involving a lot of running, he's fairly lean, but has started to fill out his shoulders a bit more. He is close to 6'1.

FACIAL FEATURES

Blond hair, smoldering eyes, and a cute smile? This kid has it all going for him. His face is a lot more lean than his brother's, with a more delicate jaw, but there's no shortage of masculinity here.

CLOTHING STYLE

He likes to look good, but being a jock with a bit of an ego, he can pull off a lot more than just t-shirts. Still, a simple shirt is his go-to item, usually tight fitting. From there he wears anything from blazers to plaid button-downs, most of the time paired with faded blue jeans.

ADVANTAGES

strengths, personality only, at least four.
Confident - Sometimes he can take it too far, but for the most part he is refreshingly self-assured.
Persuasive - He's not above a little manipulation for the best.
Optimistic - He sort of lets the pieces fall where they may.
Lively - He wants to go out, spend time with his friends, anything that promises a good time.

DISADVANTAGES

weaknesses, personality only, at least four.
Arrogant - He spent most of his life being the 'baby' of the family, and is used to having his way.
Impatient - He knows what he wants, and he wants it now.
Prejudiced - Considering his background with his brother, its not hard to see why he has a problem with certain people who aren't quite...normal.
Naive - Like so many before him, he has an idea that he can get away with just about anything.

PERSONALITY

There's no shortage of personality. Paul can be anything from that cool charmer across the room, to the life of the party, a complete clown. That's not to say he's completely uncontrollable and hyper, but he does tend to cater to his audience, and gives the people what they want.

It's his confidence that lends itself well to where he is in life, and has carried him through much of highschool with a good reputation. Though friendly to most of the people he meets, he can come across as a bit arrogant or shallow. Call it immaturity, or naivity, but there are some things, he needs to learn, that won't always go his way, or work out for the best.

He works well in team driven environments, and is very much a part of sports and the brotherhood of jock mentality. He's not oblivious, or particularly stupid, but he could probably put a bit more effort in to school than he has in the past. That being said, he does have an interest in social sciences, and oddly enough, is interested in European history, though that is a little known fact about him.

WEALTH STATUS

Came from a middle-class family. While they might not be able to buy a Ferrari, they are able to support a well-sized home for four people on a reliable income. His father works with a local construction company, doing their finances, while his mother teaches at a school in La Porte.

HISTORY

If looked at the right way, Paul appears to have had a fairly uneventful life, but when the matter of his big brother gets thrown in, the whole thing is turned upside down.

His brother Jon was submitted to an experiment before Paul was even born. Things were almost normal at home back then, but by the time Paul was old enough to understand what exactly had gone on, the two brothers were able to feel the tension. Paul resented Jon for being something out of the ordinary, for making their parents look so miserable. Jon resented Paul for being the perfect son they had apparently wanted- not such a good mix between the two boys.

So it was that even before Jon was shipped off to that school in Seattle, Paul became preoccupied with living a life drastically different from his brother's. He was one of the popular kids with a love for competitive sports, easy going with his peers, the life of the party. He was able to shut out any unpleasantness at home, except for when things reached an inevitable boiling point, and things were taken too far. Paul had always known that Jon had...abilities, but he had never used them on someone before, until the night that he and Jon got in a fight and everything went black. Their parents were more distraught than anyone. Paul always got the feeling that they were more comfortable showing him affection than with Jon, simply because the dark haired mimic rarely let anyone close to him. This only cemented their relationship more.
Paul was coddled, and from that point on, when Jon was sent away, it was like being an only child. He embraced the life style, and all through high school things fell into place and they felt like a real family. Jon's visits even on holidays started to dwindle, and eventually stopped altogether.

As his high school days came to an end, Paul was faced with the decision of where he would go to university. Many places were happy to have him for the athletic abilities, but there were still so many options. To his utter dismay, he found the perfect fit in Seattle- Jon's hometown. It took awhile, but he swallowed his pride enough to make the decision and accept his spot there. Nothing said he would have to visit his brother- Seattle was a lot bigger than La Porte, and the chances of them randomly running into each other were slim.

In the coming months he hopes to get settled into his new dorm room, and start experiencing freshman year. Frosh week, here he comes.
