history- He doesn't normally like to talk about his past.  His mother died in a hotel room.  Room 213 on October thirteenth, once again when he was thirteen.  His fear of thirteen keeps him alert for anything that may have thirteen in it.  His father also died on the thirteenth of January a few year after his mother.   has inherited their money and he lives comfortably though he is not wealthy.  He love music and  goes to live concerts or performances whenever he can.  He was never much into sports although he used to be pretty good at basketball.  However he couldn't handle it when either team scored 13 and he would never play on the thirteenth of any month.  In school he excelled and chemistry was my bread and butter.  He  loved it and now works in a lab under the tutelage of an extremely intelligent and creative man.  They help develop drugs for a major pharmaceutical company.  His dating life is on and off and right now he would say it is mostly off.  He is looking for someone and maybe he is just too picky.  He gets along well with others and he is a good leader when necessary although he doesn't seek out the role.  He is also very resourceful when he needs to be.  One final note is that he is very superstitious and he will avoid certain situations when he sees what he perceives to be a bad sign.<br/><br/>People who know parts of his past  There are two people in the group that he tends to associate with and that is the guitar player and what others call the loud one.....He is likely attracted to them because like him they put on a false face.  Their true nature is clouded by their self defenses.  He can relate to that and they to him as they never ask probing questions.<br/><br/>Likes and dislikes- He loves weapons of all sorts but especially guns and he is a very good target shooter.  He is a scientist so lots of people find it strange that someone so educated, especially in the sciences can be superstitious.  He loves woman, fine art, single malt scotch, music, astrology, and astronomy.  His dislikes include anyone asking personal questions that he feels are inappropriate.  He hates disorder and that was one of the reasons he was hesitant to go on this trip.  He also has a dislike for people he considers stupid or illogical, although he doesn't think his superstitions are illogical.<br/><br/>Fears and wishes- His superstitions give him terrible fears.  He is afraid of the number 13, spilling salt on the table, a hat on the bed, broken mirrors.  Any superstition that you can name he probably is aware of. He has found 3 dead bodies in his life and says he is afraid he will find another.  His wish is to find a woman he can make happy and she can return that favor.  He also wishes he could lose his superstitions but feels that since they are signs it is foolish to ignore them.<br/><br/>Weaknesses-  His superstitions can paralyze him at times or prevent him from doing things out of avoidance.  His other big weakness is his intolerance for those he considers illogical or plain stupid.  He can be impatient.  He is curious by nature and as a result he can go places that he shouldn't just to see what is in there so to speak.<br/><br/>Relations to the group.  Being curious by nature he knows them fairly well.  However, he and the guitar player are close do to their mutual love of music.  He also has a crush on the loud one.  He thinks she knows but isn't sure.  On this trip he hopes to find out.  It was the main reason he decided on going.
