CIVILIAN

Ueli works as a librarian at the Huntington Library. He's been working there for a few months now and he's very skilled at his job, very dedicated and very focused. However, he has a tendency to be cold to others and extremely unhelpful, as he generally doesn't speak to them unless they've harmed a book somehow.

Personality

[+] GENIUS - Ueli is extremely intelligent. What he reads, he's likely to remember, and subjects in school were a breeze for him. His grades were perfect, ignoring group projects or presentations. However, this isn't school anymore, and he realizes that. His IQ, while extremely high, does not account for a vast majority of 'common knowledge' that most people his age have, such as sexual education or past times or proper etiquette during a date. But given a mathematical problem to solve, and he'll solve it.

[+] ORGANIZED - Although extremely organized, he is not obsessive over the fact, and has concluded that he is not OCD. He simply prefers to have a system in his head when it comes to items, time-management, clothing.. well, everything, really. So maybe he is a tad obsessive, but it isn't like he'd admit that. He doesn't like his systems tampered with, and often gets frazzled, nervous and confused when things aren't as he's accustomed to.

[+] FRUGAL - Despite being well off from his deceased father's money, Ueli is extremely frugal and rarely spends more than absolutely necessary. He will not buy the most expensive item unless he has the belief that the other, less expensive items are inadequate or faulty. He is uncomfortable with the prospect of spending a particularly large amount of money, and as such, he lives in a smaller and less 'fancy' home than he can actually afford. He has his collection of books lining the walls and surfaces, and that's really all he cares about. As frugal as he is, after all, he can never pass up a good book.

[+] (HIDDEN) HERO COMPLEX - He likes helping things as much as he can, but this often doesn't extend to people, unless it's something important. If he finds a stray animal, particularly a kitten, on the street, he'll likely take it home and take care of it and make sure it's healthy before finding it a family. If he finds a kid lost on the street, he'll take it to a police officer. It's easier for him to help animals than people, as people tend to distrust most help, particularly from thirty year old men who don't talk much.

[?] QUIET - While it's probably a good thing for Ueli's occupation, he's naturally extremely quiet. Some may assume that he simply spoke quietly, and he does.. when he speaks. It isn't only that his voice is quiet, but it's also very rare for more than a single word answer to a question. If the question is not a yes-or-no question, then he'll likely not answer, direct you to someone who can, or lead you to what you're looking for... or just not even bother. The one thing he does have full sentences about are books, unless he's close to someone emotionally.

[-] STOIC - To almost anyone around him, Ueli is very expressionless. His tone is flat and his face is bored or blank. His insistence to void himself of emotions to others is to protect himself against them, as he's terrified that when he does express them, they'll be used against him, thrown in his face, or mocked, or all three.. or worse. He also struggles to feel much around people as a whole, which makes it even easier for him to remain passive.

[-] CRUELLY HONEST - When asked questions of his opinion of others, or what he thinks of your hair or what have you, he can be extremely blunt, cruelly so. He has no consideration for peoples' feelings when he cares little for them. He answers simply, to the point and he doesn't really care to hide his opinions on things that are frigging awful. If you're close to him and he to you, then you may avoid this flaw, at least for serious things. But less serious serious things are free-game.

[-] INFERIORITY COMPLEX - He hates himself. He has very few things for which he allows some amount of pride, and the rest of him could go to hell, for all he cared, and had, at one point, attempted to do. He doesn't feel worth anything but the pain he's already been given, and the loneliness. The only thing of which he doesn't feel inadequate is his intelligence, and when this is threatened, he becomes extremely anxious and embarrassed.

[-] OBLIVIOUS - Toward sexual actions and romantics, as well as some every-day things, such as going to movies, Ueli is surprisingly sheltered and oblivious. He doesn't understand the actions, he's completely lost when it comes to movies and movie theaters, and he hates acknowledging this fact. For all his wits and intelligence, even simple flirtations will be completely lost on him. His analytical nature doesn't help this.

[-] SECRETIVE (LIAR) - He is paranoid to let anyone know anything about him. He will lie over the simplest of things and he lies extremely well. If you ask him where he's from, he'll likely answer Israel or somewhere near by. If you ask him his favorite color, he'll answer blue instead of green. The simplest things he still keeps hidden. It isn't that he's afraid of them being used against him, like he is with the more serious matters of his life--he simply is afraid to let anyone close, even in the smallest amounts.

History

His parents were an arranged marriage to sweeten a business arrangement. His mother had little interest in marriage, but wanted to appease her father for hope that she would one day take over her father's company, and his father had little interest in anything that wasn't meaningless intimacies or booze, but the idea of an heir appealed to him. His father was to be the head of an oil business based in Egypt and while his mother's preferred business was in Switzerland, she moved to be married, although she refused to speak Arabic at home. Ueli was born a year later in a hospital in Damietta, Egypt. His father had always been a drunk, just a tad aggressive. He broke his arm when he was three, but he assumed it was an accident, until his brother was born.

You see, Ueli had been the only child the couple meant to have. His little brother, Pietro, was unplanned and not his father's at all. His mother didn't even know who his father might have been. Once she had heard that she was no longer being considered to take over her father's company, she'd stopped caring about being careful with the men she met in bars to distract her from her less than satisfying husband. Pietro's birth sent her into a depression, and Ueli's father into a rage that wouldn't stop. Aggression turned abusive. His mother lashed out. Ueli turned, instead, to his baby brother. He obsessed over him, the only source of affection he found in his household.

As they grew, he continued his obsession. He was protective to the point that he didn't let his brother become close to much of anyone, which created bitterness. Pietro's sickliness only encouraged Ueli's over-protectiveness, which pissed the boy off even more. As far as school went, Ueli excelled with little to no effort. His work was his smallest pride, and his brother always encouraged him, which made him even more proud of himself. His mother disappeared when he was eight. Well.. the word 'disappeared' is used loosely. She left. She was awake in the morning when Ueli and Pietro left for school, and gone when they came home. Although he wouldn't admit it, her leaving affected him greatly, and he clung to his brother even more, protecting him from a ruthless father as much as he could.

School was.. difficult, but not because of his studies. His studies were extremely easy, and if he were more ambitious, he imagined he'd have advanced more quickly than normally. However, his ambition was quite lacking, and his mind was preoccupied with his brother. His father became less of a business owner and more of an alcoholic. He was sixteen when he'd come home too late, caught his father trying to hurt his brother. He couldn't.. let him. He tried to pull him off and it didn't work. He just shoved him into a wall and continued hitting. So Ueli took the gun they'd kept for years for protection, and shot him, twice.

There was an investigation to make sure the intent was as Ueli said it had been. He'd wanted to save his brother, that was all. He just wanted him to stop. As minors, they had to go to family with the death of their parents, but they had none. They went to an orphanage, instead, and his brother's dislike for him grew even more. He was always a harsh child, manipulating him with threats to hate him to get him to give him things, calling him an idiot, disgusting, but Pi was his everything, so Ueli.. didn't mind so much. He loved him, more than he should. A lot more than he should. When he graduated, he took Pi with him, taking custody.

He applied for a foreign college in Los Angeles, California. They needed a change.. Pi got even worse, however. He was hospitalized when Ueli was twenty-four, and he confessed to him his sinful affections. Pi laughed at him, called him sick and disgusting. He died a week later. Ueli attempted to join him soon after, found by the maid. He was placed on suicide watch at the hospital, given medicine. He didn't take it. He didn't leave his house. For two years, he lived as a complete recluse, living off the money from his father's death. Two years, and he finally got the courage to leave his house.
