The Driver

Personality:   the driver is around 6'0", has a lithe but athletic build and has short cropped dirty blond hair and bright blue eyes. he has a small birthmark beside his right eye. he has a hard time showing his emotions on his face, usually pretty straight faced or stoic. he wears simple clothing, plain colored shirts and jean, but often wears a golden jacket with a scorpion on the back and leather driving gloves. he often has a toothpick in his mouth, a mindless object to keep him grounded in the moment. driver works as a stunt driver for movies and a mechanic at an autobody shop. he occasionally moonlights as a getaway driver for criminals, but he does *not* share that fact with people he does not trust. he lives in a small apartment on the 3rd floor of a run down apartment building. he cares deeply for his car. the driver usually only has one goal, to drive. he tries to stay true to that, to not bother with other people and get himself mixed up in drama. he still sometimes does though, as it is easy for him to get closely attached to people. he is a quiet individual, who usually stays on the sidelines to try and avoid attention. he is a man of few words, usually taking his time to think through what he wants to say before he does it. he has difficulties understanding other peoples emotions and expressing his own. he keeps his emotions close to his chest, not trusting many people easily. he has conflicting thoughts about himself, and finds it hard to believe he is a good person. sometimes, he does bad things because it is all he's ever known. he wonders if he could possibly be a good person, if he tried. he struggles with his own self and self worth, but tries to be good despite his violent tendencies and instincts to hurt. driver above all else will protect those he cares deeply for, no matter what. he will go to any lengths to protect those he cares about, willing to cross any lines necessary. he can be scarily violent to threats, but never to those he cares for. his mood can switch in an instant between someone he views as a threat and someone he loves, violent and cold quickly turning to awkward and neediness to be loved and needed. with those he cares about, he desperately wants to be seen as good by them. he will not deny things he has done, or hide from consequences, but he does hope beyond everything that he will still be accepted despite these things. he cannot change who he is, and he knows this, but he hopes that he can find someone who will accept this. driver works on a trust based system when it comes to sharing details about himself, being more closed off with people he doesn't know or trust, and much more vulnerable with those he cares for and trusts. this system can be gauged based on how people react to him, how willing they are to open up to him, and through physical touch and contact.
