CIVILIAN . KIDD, SHILOH

shy; it can be difficult to get creative with such a name. so far shy has been the only nickname that stuck. he doesn't mind being called by it and responds when it's used. still, he always introduces himself as "shiloh," what they call him after that doesn't much matter to him.

shyguy; his best friend in elementary school was the only person to ever use the nickname "shyguy." when his friend disappeared from his life, the name went with him. he has yet to hear it from anyone else, and he truly doubts he ever will.

kid; the only other nickname people have tried to call him. since most don't know him by his last name, it's rarely used. it used to be called when he was younger to try and get a reaction, but it never really worked. it's unusual for him to hear it, but he answers to it anyway.

23/12/1985; he's a capricorn, and if anyone asks, he'll tell them so. really though, horoscopes were more something his mother was interested in. he's not a fan of stars, signs, blood types and all that. he doesn't even like for his birthday to be celebrated. if anyone manages to shock him with a party, they can expect a rather disappointed expression of dull surprise.

pansexual; showering with a bunch of naked guys for a good portion of your life can make seeing people naked get to be less and less of a thrill. he doesn't find people to be terribly attractive in a sexual sense, but isn't opposed to romance and doesn't care if he finds it in a man or a woman. though, honestly, he wouldn't mind some curves. he'll be the first to tell a person he's seen enough "man-ass."

newspaper reporter; a stringer for the los angeles times, he works more to turn in reports of events than eye-catching photos, never quite having an eye for design. he's skilled with words, though it tends to come across more in his writing than in his speech. he does a good job, a number of his articles have been printed in the papers or posted online. he has yet to be picked up and taken on permanently, though.

las palmas villa; a nice enough apartment complex in downtown la. the kitchen is small and cramped, his furniture is worn and all hand-me-downs from relatives. his decorating skills leave much to be desired and he doesn't have the greatest tv, the newest systems, or a great speaker system. still, the little place gets the job done. most of the apartment seems untouched with the acception of the random ties and sometimes the awkward shoe just thrown to lay somewhere, his desk area being the only place he hangs around. of course, with him spending most his time there, it's become quite cluttered.

6' 0"; at this height he towers above most women. he's taller than your average man, but doesn't stand out as terribly unusual in a crowd. he's eye-level or taller than most others he meets, and on the occasion he meets someone taller than himself he has the odd habit of not tilting his chin upward to look them in the face, but keeps staring straight ahead instead.

158 lbs; he's more on the lighter side for his height, no doubt due to his more slender build. he's not muscular or heavy by any means, just tall and lean.

face; a good portion of the left side of his face is scarred. the scars mark his cheek bone, temple, and the flesh of his cheek, making it look darker and a bit rougher than the rest of his skin. the scars were obtained during a prank pulled with his friends as a child.

arms; when he used his arms to try and hide his face from the flames of the prank fire set by himself and his friends, he scorched them as well. while his right forearm is scarred a bit more darkly than his left, his left arm shows a bit more damage higher up and near the shoulders.

shoulders & back; proof of abuse suffered at the military school, he's more physically than emotionally marked by the lines along his back and upper shoulders. one of the staff was a little less than impressed with his attitude, and shiloh doesn't blame him a bit for his actions.

ass; unfortunately for him, that dog bite to the ass that the doctor promised would eventually fade away never did. the bastard chihuahua left a nice little chomp on his ass, and there's not much he can do about it.

shoulders; covering some of the scarring on his shoulders, he has a red sun-like design marked into his left shoulder. it's rather large, about as big as his hand. on his right hand is an intricate circular design, also done in crimson ink.

wrestler; for some reason, after being cooped up in a theater or stuck on a couch to watch an action movie, he really needs to move around once its over with. he'll start wrestling whichever friend is nearby to get out some of his energy, whether they want and expect him to or not.

pen chewer; he has the habit of nibbling on his pens and pencils, and his notebook always looks a little unkempt whenever he pulls it out.

coffeeholic; the man is absolutely addicted to coffee. he loves it. he drink multiple mugs a day to keep himself going and uses it to help keep him up when he's not quite ready to go to bed. it often results in him passing out within the next couple days and sleeping a long day to catch up.

night owl; he's much more active at night, with or without his coffee. as much as he loves sunlight and warmth, he enjoys stars and stargazing just as much, and finds the cool evening breeze to be refreshing. that combined with the feeling of isolation being up at night gives makes him often get up at midnight just to bask in the moon's glow while he writes.

collector; he's never thrown away a newspaper crossword he's failed to complete and has an entire box full in his closet.

signer; shiloh is fluent in american sign language. while he isn't very expressive when he speaks out loud, he becomes extremely expressive and dramatic in his signing.

chicken knight; he and his friend raised some baby chickens when they were little and called themselves chicken knights. he still weaves feathers into his hair every day for nostalgic purposes.

cast iron stomach; no matter what he eats, whether it tastes awful, is terribly spicy, or just isn't good for him, he's able to stomach it without getting sick. he can tell when food is bad, of course. his stomach just doesn't tie itself in knots over it. he also seems to have trouble knowing when he's full.
