PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION Before he became invisible, he had unruly, curly, black hair and brown eyes. His skin was pale, and he had two dimples, one on his left cheek, the other on his right. Now that he's invisible, only his eyes, which have lost most of their color, remain, and like his father, they're grey. He still has curly hair, but since it's invisible, the only thing it's good for is tickling his eyes and getting in his way. He also has an odd rash on the corners of his lips, though he isn't too sure why. He doesn't pay it much mind though, since it seems to come and go. He's also missing his left front tooth due to a fight he got into once. | |
PERSONALITY High-strung and anxious, he tends to have trouble trusting people and calming down. He only has a precious few friends, and even with them he's not completely comfortable, though he can be nice to a fault around them. Nobody has an odd tendency to worry way too much about insignificant things, and can be very self-deprecating. He has a pretty bad speech impediment which causes him to stutter and constantly say 'um' and 'uh'. He worries so much that oftentimes he'll have asthma attacks, which can be very difficult to deal with since it's not easy for him to get access to an inhaler. He dislikes getting people's things 'dirty' and will even go as far as refusing to enter a home to preserve its cleanliness. He's also scared of enclosed places and crowds due to his anxiety. He prefers the name 'Nobody' simply because he doesn't want people to know who he really is, and he doesn't want people to 'dirty' his name. Despite having lived on the streets for nearly eight years, he's extremely naive, and as a result, gets into numerous misadventures. His utter lack of grace doesn't help either. When he's not being a nervous wreck or tripping over his own feet, he likes to do parkour (which he's actually kind of good at), and practicing his reading and writing. He has an odd tendency to lick his pillow at night. | |
PERSONAL HISTORY After the death of his parents, which resulted from a car crash in stormy weather, Nobody was sent to live with his other family in his hometown of Dover, New Hampshire. However, he was soon abandoned in the foster care system after he became estranged from his family, who had never really approved of his parents' marriage, nor their odd child, who had gone nearly completely invisible by the age of four and had to be kept hidden away. By the age of eight, he managed to escape the system with a few other children. He stayed close to them as they roamed the streets, but was eventually forced to leave the state when the authorities began a search for the children. Under the name of Nobody, he lived on the streets for years, somehow maintaining a warped innocence as he struggled for survival. During these struggles, the need for a job came about when he realized handouts simply wouldn't be enough, nor the food he managed to scavenge. Since he couldn't read nor write, and he was a runaway minor, Nobody was forced to do more unpleasant jobs, such as what he calls "fluffing". He had considered stealing, but decided against it, even if the alternative was worse. Funnily enough, though stealing was a no-no, he somehow acquired a gun, which he has used a few times. Nobody lived this way until he was sixteen, whereupon some odd things occurred. He can't remember these things, but he knows SOMETHING happened because of a VHS tape he found in his pocket, which had some words on it that he, unfortunately, couldn't read. He feels older too, even though he's still sixteen physically, and although it bugs him, he's decided to just let it go. |
