Name: Paul Sykes
Age: 16
Sex: Male
Appearance:Personality: Paul was not an incredibly happy person. From years of bullying, he found himself to be a sarcastic cynic who hardly trusted anybody. Any attempt at interaction with him is usually met with distrust and cynicism, leading to him having very little friends - only those who really tried would be able to crack him, at which point he would likely be a lot friendlier.
Bio: Born in southern England, 1976, Paul had a wonderful family. His early childhood was some of his best years, with his father and his mother together in happiness. All was well.
When he was six years old, his father left Great Britain and fought in the Falklands war. When he came back, he was a changed man. Far from the fun-loving father he used to be, his father became was plagued with post-traumatic stress. And that did not do many favours for his family.
He grew dis-attached with his father as he grew up, and his father became further and further reclused. To top it all off, nobody exactly liked him as he entered secondary school, and they made sure he knew. Of course, Paul wasn't one to take things lying down, but eventually it became hard to keep trying.
Instead, he just became sarcastic. A coping method, if you will - it got him a few laughs from some, a few fists from others - but it helped him keep sane, per se. But those that laughed with him, he learnt the hard way, were never his friends.
Soon enough, his mother landed a job in the United States - Wichita, to be specific. Apathetic to such a move, Paul didn't resist it. And soon enough, they arrived in a small town in Kansas - Bedfield. (This is WIP, I'm defo gonna expand on it a bit more when I have time.)
Strengths:- Sarcastic. As weird of a strength it might be, it's often a good coping method for him.
- Intelligent. He knows his stuff.
- Cynical. He'll try and spot what most are missing, and question things he thinks should be questioned.
Weaknesses:- Cynical. It's a double edged sword - he has a firm belief in reality, and anything supernatural
just simply isn't real.
- The tall fall hard. If his belief in reality is broken,
he will be broken. Sarcasm can't deal with everything.
- Not a fighter. If, for whatever reason, he needs to fight - you can't count on him.
Quirks: Paul likes to 'believe' in fringe political beliefs just to screw with people. Hate communists? He'll pretend to be a communist. Hate racists? He'll pretend to be a racist. He says it's a devils advocate thing to make people look at all sides, but in reality he likes to watch people spew their politics.
Worst Fears: Solitude. Not just being locked in his room, but simply nobody else being around. Across the globe. He couldn't deal with that. At the same time, he's terribly scared of drowning - especially considering he cannot swim.

Tell me if the whole migrant from Britain thing isn't really plausible, It's not entirely important. Also what's going on right now? I'll read up on the whole thing when I can but just for a quick reference (if I'm accepted)
