Personality

[ + ] EFFICIENT -- though he only does what he deems necessary, he will make sure the few jobs he takes on are done fully and efficiently. Seeing things through to the end is a motto he holds dear, you just have to get him to start something first. It will take some work, but if he finds it is truly important to either himself or someone he holds dear, he will get it done.

[ + ] COMPOSED -- calm, cool and collected are words that describe his personality quite well. He rarely takes anything to heart and will shove most negative comments as a joke, as well as positive. He really has no concern for anything that doesn't have any direct influence towards him.

[ + ] SELF RELIANT -- others cannot be trusted, leaving himself as the only person on Earth who can be relied on. A scar remains on his heart because of the disappointment others have brought to him during the course of his life. Even with the few people he cares most for, he has a hard time trusting that they'll do much of anything for him. All he can do is keep himself as distant as possible and hope that that's enough to soften the blow with the inevitable happens.

[ + ] CONTENT -- knowing full well that he can be an egotistical jerk sometimes, he really just doesn't care. He's happy with the way he lives his life and being alone and will continue to be that way through the rest of it.

[ + ] KNOWLEDGABLE -- he is extremely smart and is usually never found without a book in his hand. He loves to read anything he can get his hands on; tends to make up for the lack of human companionship he has.

[ - ] PESSIMISTIC -- everything will always turn out the opposite of how it's supposed to. Nothing ever works out in his favor; at least that's how he sees it. There is no need to really even bother, what would it help? He will always be the one that comes out with the short end of the stick and the only people who are attracted to him are those that end up hurting him in the end. In his eyes, nothing will ever work out.

[ - ] DISTANT -- he doesn't like being crowded by a bunch of people or anyone for that matter. He doesn't like being hurt as he has in his past, so it's best to just stay away from everyone and avoid that. He pushes people away deliberately to keep that from happening; it just seems best that way.

[ - ] INCONSIDERATE -- because he would rather be on his own, he is cold and inconsiderate on purpose. He hates being around others, especially annoying ones. Cyrus prefers to be with his books and sometimes will do whatever is necessary to get back to them. He'd just rather not chance being hurt again too, it's too painful.

[ - ] STUBBORN -- there is only one way. It is very hard to change his mind about something, he is pretty adamant on all his decisions, especially when it comes to whether he's going to participate or not.

[ - ] UNMOTIVATED -- he has no goals, no future plans, no anything. He is perfectly content with just living his life as he has always been. He doesn't really care to do it any differently, so why bother?

History

Cyrus has gone through a lot during his lifetime. With his parents divorce, being kicked out of high school during his tenth year, and most of his friends turning a blind eye to him; he hasn't dealt with all of the pain well. His parents divorced when he was nine years old, so he spent his life going back and forth between their houses, never getting any sort of explanation. He dealt with this problem the same way any nine year old would; blaming himself. That was the biggest disappointment of all. His parents were never truly there.

It was because of all the anger that he had built up because of his parents that he began acting out during and after school. He would earn detention at least three times a week, no problem. Because he became such a rebellious kid, the other students in school all eventually stopped talking to him all together. The few friends that he had felt did the same, feeling more that it was too awkward to talk to him. It was hard and eventually he was expelled from school.

Cyrus' mother had always been very ill, but something wasn't quite right about her illness this time. She wasn't getting any better, and no matter how hard he tried to help, in time, she eventually died. Cyrus was devastated. Knowing that he didn't want to move in with his father and now being eighteen, Cyrus got an apartment of his own with his last, remaining friend. Being rejected from every real job he applied for, Cyrus became content with picking up odd jobs that no one else really wanted to do. It was better that way anyway, nothing to keep him tied down.

He now lives his life like this, hoping for something better to come along, but at the same time knowing that it never will.
