Personal Questions

1. Describe your character's personality

Ridiculously silly, charming, goofy.

2. Describe how your character would appear to a stranger (I.E. typical dress, way they carry themselves etc.)

Vintage concert t-shirts, blue jeans, sneakers. He is the quintessential 80's cool guy with the Trans Am

3.What does your character like?

Red loves the 80's - the music, the movies, the lifestyle. He'd use a walkman if he could get away with it.

4. Dislike?

DC comics (MARVEL FOREVER)
light beer
politics

5. (For humans) Describe what abilities you see your character having if they were turned.

6. What are your fears? [COLOR=red](please choose and explain 3 minimum)[/COLOR]

Cockroaches - having been on a Piper mission in Madagascar, he had the misfortune of coming across a nest of the Madagascar hissing cockroaches. Well, more like fell in it. The other Pipers still tease him about his hysterical girl like screaming.

Commitment - his parents divorced when he was 5, and with most children of divorced families, Red had a hard time dealing with the separation from his father, thinking it was his fault. From what his mother told him later in life, she loved his father passionately, but there is a fine line between love and hate. Red never wants to feel that type of loss, so avoids long term relationship by sabotaging himself early on with a self fulling prophecy that it wouldn't work out because he's just not the marrying type.

Losing his thick, red hair - it's a plausible fear! If he went bald, what would they call him? Kojak? The thought of losing his hair compels him to take care of his healthy main and is obsessed about it.

7. What is your character's strengths and weaknesses? [COLOR=red](please pick 3 minimum of each and explain in detail how and why this affects your character)[/COLOR]

Strengths:
Medically trained - Even after dropping out of Medical school in Ireland, Red has maintained his studies over the 9 years of being a werewolf and is easily up to PHD level in his education. He is a talented surgeon and trauma specialist.

Musically inclined - Red enjoys music and can play the guitar skillfully as well as the piano. He likes to moonlight DJ'ing gigs and is quite popular on the amateur circuit. He can play by ear and has written many a ballad and rock operas. He also boasts quite the singing chops as well, having had a band in high school where he played the guitar and lead singer.

Mechanic - along with Marko, he has leaned side-by-side how to boost a car as well as reassemble a 64 Mustang's engine. Along with trauma, he is the second to repairing mechanical equipment next to Marko.


Weaknesses
Drinking - Red is currently on the wagon, but has been known to falter and over indulge. He is 3 years sober following a car accident that luckily did not involve anyone else, but managed to break his legs.

Masks emotions - Red is never in a bad mood, never upset visually. He uses humor to hide mild depression caused by his birth parents divorce and subsequent immersion into the werewolf life. There is no where else he'd rather be than with the Pack, but he left his mother in hopes of getting to know his birth father better, but after his gifting, all attempts to reconnect with his father has failed.

Reads supernatural romance novels - the cheesball romances never fail to fascinate him and he has a collection of worn novels stuffed under his mattress.

"Tell me a little about yourself, Reese."

"Red, ma'am."

"Prefer the literal moniker, do you?" Viv said with a grin.

Red leaned forward in his chair, closer to Vivienne, and ran his hand through his deep red hair. "It is also my initials." He over enunciated each word, eliciting a snort from her.

Crossing her legs and getting comfortable in her chair, Viv nodded. "Oh, very clever, yes."

"Aye, ma'am. Tis true!" Red laced his fingers and leaned his elbows onto his knees while making a face. With great flourish, Red began his tale. "As you may know, I have quite the infinity for all things vintage. I do appreciate pop culture, especially American pop culture, today, but there is something to be said for waking up at the crack of dawn to the Artist Formerly Known as Prince's 'Let's Go Crazy'."

"I feel a song coming on," Viv said leaning onto the arm of her chair.

Red gave her a wide smile and began, "Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to get through this thing called life...."


Red sat up straight in his bed as his alarm clock began playing a taped mantra of himself. Every morning he woke up to it and it set him on the path, right and true, to have an awesome day.

His voice began, reciting the mantra, "Red. Wake up, Red. It's another day and it's time to get out of bed. Let's ignore the fact that you're getting up out of your own bed and not some curvaceous young thing's full sized bed with lace trimmings and fuzzy handcuffs hanging from her bed post, but you're up. You're alive. And you know what time it is."

Red pulled back his covers revealing his Flash boxers and fair skinned, freckled body. Picking up his electric guitar and amp, he strapped them over his shoulder and busted out of his entry way door into the hallway with flourish and ear piercing wails on his Fender special edition, colored with sparkly silver flames over a cherry red exterior.

The church organs of Prince's 'Let's Go Crazy' fill the hallways leading to the other Pipers apartments. He yells loudly the first stanza wearing nothing but his boxers.
