deathworm
hippie scum
Name: Byron Lewis
Age: 18
Zodiac: Scorpio
Personality:
Byron can be a bit difficult. He's fiercely independent and has a lot of issues with authority. Although he's a bit on the quiet side he has an air of intensity about him that can make people uncomfortable. That's mostly just a front for strangers. Around his friends and family, he's laid-back and fun loving which some people mistake for laziness. That's pretty far off the mark- growing on a farm made Byron a hard worker and he can rarely sit still for more than ten minutes.
A hippie through and through, Byron has a whimsical, childlike side and it's hard for him to take most things seriously. But the things he does take seriously he'd fight to the death over. One of those things is the farm and his way of life. He's a staunch environmentalist and has been a vegan for three years now.
Despite all of this he knows how to have a good time and became known in his small school for hosting massive parties in the woods behind his farm, or as massive as you can get in such a small town.
Likes: Nature, dogs, camping, swimming, horror films, art, woodworking, poetry
Dislikes: Cities, large corporations, parking garages, SUVs, formal clothing, wearing shoes, sweet potatoes, most people
Quirks: Bites/chews on his lip when he's thinking, talks slowly and softly, makes a lot of eye contact
Background: Byron was born and raised in Creston on his family's organic farm at the edge of town. The oldest of six children, he's been helping out on the farm since he could walk but he loves it. His childhood was like a movie- nothing but running around outside, playing with animals, and climbing trees. And that's pretty much how it continued throughout his teen years too. His parents fostered his rebellious side, viewing it as a natural part of growing up, and as such Byron was free to explore whatever parts of life he wanted within reason.
He's spent most of his life in this one town. The few times he's visited a city he hasn't been very impressed, but he just graduated from high school and is planning on attending USC in the fall to study film and art history. He's excited but also slightly terrified.
