<div align="center"><strong><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 14pt;">Shawn Albert Pierce (Buyer)</span></strong></div><br/><strong>Name:</strong>Shawn Albert Pierce<br/><strong>Age:</strong>38<br/><strong>Role:</strong>Buyer<br/><strong>Orientation:</strong><em>Mostly</em>Straight (Pushes limits with<strong>VERY</strong>effeminate men and possible hermaphrodites should the situation arise)<br/><br/><strong>Specialty:</strong>As it pertains to art, he's noted for looking for oddities. Women (and men on occasion) who don't fit the label, as well as images that portray this. Things to catch his eye tend to be that off-beaten piece all others have ignored. He is also a hunter, not a requester.<br/><strong>Fetish/Offs:</strong>Never Submissive (though doesn't mind equality if he deems someone his equal) and likes to explore otherwise. (Anything Else, Ask or see My Own O/O (http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=73110.0))<br/><br/><strong>Appearance:</strong>His hair is short (brown), well kept and made point to show he has class. This coupled with the manner he speaks and the way he walks (with purpose but not without grace while never with pompous attitudes) creates a very obvious air. He wears suits tailored specifically for him and are almost always in a shade of blue. They differ from day to day in shading to near black to a navy (and one holiday was even an odd shade of teal). Now his eyes are an interesting thing, they sit firmly in line with his nose and square with his mouth but have an odd little slant to them. This man is obviously causation and the slant to his eyes means nothing in his history but it does give an odd flow to his face. He is also well shaven and keeps a cane (though more for show than anything else).<br/><br/>(http://www.stormmodels.com/resource/38793.163563.itemlarge.jpg)<br/><br/><strong>Personality:</strong>Educated, classy and dignified are what others might use but no one is above their tempers. In fact Shawn has quite a few anger issues when there are those who do not treat him properly. Now, he does not expect tea and cookies but simply respect as any man would; however the consequences he puts on insulting him result in more than poor words and, instead, an out-right smear campaign. He is a fair lover but much more the fighter and further more has an odd, yet natural, curiosity. That curiosity (and eye for the odd) is what usually brings him to the studio and gallery auctions to begin with.<br/><br/><strong>Biography:</strong>Concerning the RP, Shawn has been buying the odd photograph or two for awhile now. He stops in quite often to see what (or who) is new in terms of exploration, and that curiosity of his tends to make each trip worth-while even if he does not purchase anything. He has bought a few photographs and has also not been above asking about (or for) either photographer or model personally when interests are intrigued in his manners.<br/><br/>As he has told several: "It is not the pose, the camera, the photographer or even the model but something all of these combined has created to join an odd quirk to which I find pleasing." Shawn is not above giving his praises to the talented artists and models inside  Waxing Rhapsodic, showing the pieces he's obtained very proudly in both his home and office.<br/><br/>Not RP related, Shawn is growing and requires further development. Other than: "He went to a fancy Ivy League college, worked the first chunk of his life and is now calming down in order to smell the roses," I have very little and require character development to obtain this.<br/><br/><span class="bbc_u">Character Relations</span><br/><br/>Avid Regular (Knows faces, but maybe not names)<br/>Currently has a<em>thing</em>for Matilda (Tilly)<br/>Friends with Aline<br/>Heavily dislikes Dorian
