describe physical traits in one passage. Dovydas has around an average stature. His hair is generally a little messy, though not tangled, and gives the appearance of someone that might have just woken up from a nap and hasn't gotten the chance to run a comb through it yet. Occasionally, when he's busy or out and about, he'll tie it back into a short pony tail, but would never do such a thing in a formal setting. He's the kind of guy that doesn't really put too much emphasis on looking polished, though, when it comes to basic appearance details. Bangs cover a decent portion of his forehead, though don't hide too much of his face. While not exactly masculine, his features aren't exactly feminine. It's easy to discern that he's biologically male at first site, he does have softer features such as his eyes, nose, and facial structure aren't the most masculine. He has somewhat delicate mannerisms, though not stereotypically hyper-feminine; he's the kind to sit softly, cross his legs and dress for occasions. While you couldn't tell from how gangly he may look while dressed, he's actually quite toned. Not like a sex pac and rippling muscles, but he does have definition, more apparent when he's actually using them.

&FAMILY/RELIGION.

parents. Dalia (mother, 43) and Lukas (father, 40)
siblings. Suzanna (sister, 15), Lynne (sister, 13), Eglė (or Ellie) (sister, 13), Eric (brother, 10), Luther (brother, 8), Daniel (brother, 6)

significant others. None as of opening, one in the past (sort of).
children. None.
other relatives. Three uncles, two aunts on his father's side. A great aunt and cousins on his mother's side.
pets. None.
friends. He has a couple from work, but no real person he'd consider his "best friend". He has acquaintances more than he has friends.
enemies. None.
relationships (other). N/A for right now.
ethnicity. Lithuanian Caucasian
religion. Catholic in the loosest sense. Usually the family went to church on holidays and the children were baptized, but that was the extent of church involvement. He doesn't go to church living on his own.
beliefs. Dovydas isn't immoral by any means, but he doesn't think about things like that a lot, mostly because he's not often presented with things that involve morals. He's obviously religiously liberal in ways, being a bisexual and a casual drinker. He's kind of got a "live and let live" philosophy, but it's mostly just apathy.
superstitions. He throws salt over his shoulder, brings gifts to people when he visits.
diction, accent, etc. He speaks well and politely. Not completely proper english and he does use slang, but it's not like an every sentence situation. He swears, occasionally, but isn't the most practiced since he's used to not being able to swear (since lots of kids were usually around). Not to say he didn't swear in school or anything. He doesn't have an accent, but he does know some phrases from his homeland and can use an accent while speaking Lithuanian. He has a moderate tone and sound, in terms of gender. It's not deep but it's not high.

&SCHOOL/WORK/HOME.

education (highest). High school diploma.
degrees. None.
vocation/occupation. Both a convenience store clerk/stocker and part-time bartender.
employment history. Same as above.
salary. $35,000 a year at the convenience store, $13,000 a year as a bartender + tips.
status and money. He lives comfortably for him. Most nineteen-year-olds would want more amenities like video game consoles, furniture, a large TV. He has a computer, a small TV set, and the basic furniture (couch, table, bed) but not a lot of other items other than basic kitchen wear, clothes, shoes, etc. He has a nice amount of money in his bank account regardless of his jobs because of his father but he's still living like someone who's middle-lower class.
own or rent. He rents the apartment, $950 a month. It's easy to maintain with his jobs + a small bit of his father's money.
living space. His apartment is a two bedroom, with a living room, kitchen, front room and a bathroom. The furthest bedroom is vacant, not used since he lives by himself. Dovydas' apartment is pretty bare, not having a homely feel at all. A typical bachelor pad, it's got the bare minimum when it comes to design, but he's getting there. The front room is painted a baby blue, even though the furniture doesn't match. He likes to paint it, but he's stuck on what to do with the other rooms. His furniture is also mismatched.
work space. Quakers are typically large, sort of like a mini mart or a truck stop but marketed as aconvenience store. They sell a myriad of items to basic necessities, snacks, small foods, and have food vendor systems and local business aisles. It's really just set up like a normal truck stop. The Exit is kind of small with a wrap around bar and seating on the rest of the floor.
main mode of transportation. A 1998 white Ford Taurus.

&PSYCHOLOGY.

fears. He's afraid of bugs (specifically crawling bugs) because one once crawled into one of his little brothers' mouth. A non-tangible fear, he's also vehemently afraid of sudden death.
secrets. He's not a typically secretive person, just not very forthcoming. His parents, his situation, his sexuality aren't secrets just not something he announces or goes into unless he knows someone. His co-workers that have spent long amounts of time at Quaker know about everything, but that's because they've known each other for anywhere from four to two years.
iq. 122.
eating habits. Dovydas is really used to eating like a bird and eating while doing something. He'll usually eat at work (either left over wrapped or vendor food like sandwiches, smothered fries, box salads at Quaker and chips, clubs at The Exit) and very little. At home, he'll make something light and eat it.
food preferences. He's not a big eater but can be a little picky. He only likes certain toppings and isn't in tune with eating things that contain them but he's used to eating things he doesn't like. He likes desserts, dislikes spicy foods, and enjoys bread products. His favourite drink is coffee and he takes it with a lot of flavoured creamers and sugar.
sleeping habits. On off days, he enjoys sleeping in as much as possible, but doesn't sleep much on work days. He can become over exhausted easily, causing him to sleep long hours on weekends. He's glad that he doesn't hold a lot of outside commitments because on Sundays when he's got short shifts or none at all, he's dead to the outside world. When he isn't sleeping, he does like to work on his apartment or go running.
book preferences. Over the years, Dovydas hasn't read much. Because he likes to keep busy, he doesn't like a long and hard to read book. Reading isn't something he hates, but it's not something he's used to outside of school reading.
music preferences. He's become accustomed to the Muzak that plays at the convenience store and the soft rock stations that get played at the pub. He likes to listen to softer music sometimes while he's at home. There's not one particular genre that he's into, though. He would rather pick certain songs than genres or types of music.
groups or alone. When it comes to this, Dovydas is a little torn. He likes to do things on his own, but he can also be very lonely. While he's not the best at interacting with large groups of people, or even one on one, he's slowly doing it more and getting better.
leader or follower. A leader since he does tend to do things on his own, but he's not one to take a lot of initiative. He leads himself, but he follows behind others while doing so, if that makes sense.
planned out or spontaneous. He actually has a little notebook he keeps with plans and little charts about things to do, the order to do them in, goals, and likes to write things down and plan them out. He keeps it in his pants pocket, no matter what he's doing or if he's at work. It also contains phone numbers, important dates, addresses, and it's like datebook. He has a cellphone, which all of that could go in there, but he's eccentric in that he likes to only put things like that in his notebook.
journal entries (do they keep one?). Not really. He will jot down little notes, sometimes doodling or jotting down things he sees or how he feels but never actually doing anything in lieu of journaling or keeping a diary or anything.
hobbies, recreation. House work (specifically in the form of building, repair, or painting), running, spending time alone in restaurants.
how do they relax?. Baths, housework, sleeping, sometimes watching television, reading the news and drinking coffee.
what excites them. Dovydas isn't the most excitable. Which, he can come off as boring, but instead of being a very open and loud person, the interesting things are in the details like watching him dump eight sugar packets and three creamers in his coffee or watching him doodle a caricature of a customer. He does enjoy pleasant surprises, nice food, and his family.
pet peeves. Pushy customers, drunks, overly loud people, ill-prepared food, messy homes.
prejudices. Not very prejudices. Usually, though, once an opinion is formed, he's set on it unless he's really proven otherwise.
attitudes. He's not very easy to anger, but can still get irritated and at his bar job, he's not afraid to show it. He's usually mild mannered and meager, but can get angry with enough prodding and pushing.
stressors. Picky customers really stress him out at Quaker since complaints are big deals and sometimes when he works late at night it can be a little stressful since there can be an added element of danger to the job. Not hearing from his family or hearing of an injury or sickness keeps him on pins and needles for weeks, sometimes.
obsessions. He really is a food snob, especially when it comes to desserts and coffee. If a coffee isn't prepared correctly or is too bitter, he'll send it back (but politely). He also may or may not be addicted to several cell phone apps.
ambitions. He really just wants to provide for his family. He could be doing anything in any situation and as long as his family is taken care of, he's fine. If he wanted to have a personal dream, he would have one, but he's never been in a position to seriously consider having a set goal or career for himself.
as seen by others. He's considered to be quiet and a little quirky, especially by customers, though he's known by most to be a nice guy. His coworkers think he's a nice guy to know, friendly and generous to them. But even they think he's a little quiet and not the most extroverted guy, it doesn't lower their opinion of him.
as seen by self. He generally sees himself as a normal guy with a lot of responsibility and thinks he could and should do better in a lot of areas in his life, be it relationships, works, being a friend, a brother. He doesn't look down on himself but he does think that he could stand to improve a lot.
