Character Name: Dane Jeffrey Howell
Character Age: 23
Character Gender: Male
Character Sexuality: Straight.
Character Description:
He's outfitted typically with dark and depressing clothes, as he doesn't see the use in standing out in a crowd. That would affect the outcome of all of his experiments or observations. He’s 6ft 2in and 130 pounds, which is extremely underweight. This occasionally leads him to being dizzy, but he often forgets to eat and his fast metabolism is unforgiving. This is very bad for the situation the world is in, but he cannot help his tendencies.
His dark brown fringe sits comfortably on the left side of his face, but he is forced to straighten it every morning for it to be that way. If he does not, his hair is a bit of a curly mess that gets in his eyes and angers him. Despite his efforts, his hair is still relatively messy but he doesn’t care much, as long as it’s not in his face bothering him when he’s trying to work.
Dane’s got warm brown eyes, but they’re never fully focused and always seem to be thinking of something else, due to their almost glazed-over appearance. He’s got almost ghostly-pale white skin at most times of the year, but gets tanned easily when he actually appears in the sunlight. He’s got very good vision, and therefore has never needed glasses or contacts. He refuses to let any stubble appear on his face in the slightest, as he finds beards untidy and is disgusted by the thought of one. Thankfully, his body does not produce much facial hair and therefore it’s not difficult for him to prevent his hair from growing.
Character Personality:
Briggs Test – INTJ
He's a thinker that prefers to stay in his head. He thrives off of being by himself, and works best when he's alone. He's in the deep pits of being an introvert, but he is self-confident in that he knows that he's extremely intelligent. Dane sees others as beneath him, and isn't much of a small-chatter. He's good on picking up on lies due to his ability to read faces and memorize movements that people create when stressed, but he can rarely talk to others without unintentionally insulting them. He's very direct and frank when he speaks, and doesn't care much when others are upset.
When Dane confronts a problem, he is only interested in results, and doesn't see much harm in loss of human life if it means that the products of his 'equation' come out OK. He's more of an observer of the universe, taking in information from his experiments rather than participating. This leads people to see him as almost shy, but in all honesty it’s just because he finds human beings too fascinating and he’d rather not mess up the natural environment that they’re in, so he sits back and watches instead.
Sometimes he may come off as a brat, mainly due to the fact that he is very ignorant when he speaks. He’ll make very blunt comments about things or appearances that may make others easily upset, and this leads him to be rude quite often. He rarely realizes this, but never really cares whether or not others get offended. Dane will constantly nitpick on tiny imperfections that bother him, and therefore this leads him to constantly reach for flawless achievements. In others, he values competence and knowledge, as he personally believes that it’s the only truly useful thing to have. He desires organization in anything, from simply his bedroom to his life. Symmetry is something he feels is important in appealing visual images as well, despite him having no true interest in anything artsy.
Whether or not Dane tries to stay away from people, he quite often ends up being in the centre of attention. However, he rarely realizes this, as when he focuses on one thing too much, he tunnels out everything else. Fortunately, not many things require that much brain power from him, and therefore he can multitask rather easily. When he’s the centre of attention, to make himself comfortable, he only speaks directly to whoever is speaking to him, and ignores the onlookers. The majority of the time, they lose interest rather quickly, and therefore he has no reason to address them.
Dane has a natural thirst for knowledge that had shown even as early as when he was three, and therefore he was given the title of “bookworm”. While many others may have taken it as an insult, he was indifferent to it and still has. When alone, he can be found with a good non-fiction book written by great authors such as Stephen Hawking. He’s learned many useful talents from this hobby from his, including being technologically savvy.
Dane would rather design and execute a plan than gossip mindlessly about others, and he finds self-entertainment in working. If Dane was to find one similar to himself, he’d talk to them without thought and they’d be good braniac friends, but since he does not especially care enough to speak with others, it’s very unlikely he’ll find said person. However, he sees no problem with that, as he always looks at things with a rational perspective and he doesn’t see any logical benefits from friends.
Character Weapon: He utilizes knives the majority of the time, and throws them around at walls to practice aiming in his spare time, as he knows it’ll help him survive.
Character Family: Unknown.
Character Crush: Currently none.
Character History (Optional):
June 11th, 1991
Dane led what could’ve been considered a rather depressing childhood. However, due to his simple lack of emotions, he does not really care much for his history and when he’s asked, he’ll give a brief summary and shrug it off. It might bother him deep, deep down, but he’s hidden it all away and convinced his own brain that emotions lack use.
Dane was born and raised in Berkshire, England, and he has yet to lose his British accent. He was born to a 19 year old mother who had only gotten him due to simply protection not doing its job. Dane was fortunate that his mother did not drink when she had him, as she just felt too sick to go anywhere, as she was young. She still attended her university, but her grades were slowly slipping away despite his father’s efforts. When he was younger, his parents were typically out as they were both relatively young. He had inherited his intelligence from his father. Despite this, his parents were both alcoholics and they both went away everyday to spend time with their friends at the bar.
After some time, Dane began to figure out how to cook his own food and eat more than just the sandwiches he would typically have everyday with some vegetables. He both dreaded and loved school, as everyone around him felt so stupid in comparison, but he was able to spend all of his time in textbooks there and they slowly became his best friends. He was bullied constantly by everyone in the school, due to his unnatural body shape and logical outlook on everything. This led to him being hardened, and it’s when he started to lose the normal emotions and empathy any normal human being would feel.
At lunch, he ate alone with his books, and he spent more time with teachers than he did with students. However, even teachers he found to be stupid, and he eventually grew tired with them treating him as a young child when his mental maturity was significantly higher. He skipped two grades, and would’ve easily skipped another if the school had permitted him. Despite this, his height still matched those in his new grade, but this didn’t change his bullying problem. No one stood up for him, as they knew it was a lost cause. He was too thin to fight back, and no one was friends with him so they didn’t bother to help him in the slightest.
By the time he was 16, he found out from his Uncle that his parents had been arrested for driving under the influence. Dane quickly deducted that this meant he was going to go live with his Aunt and Uncle, most likely, and he didn’t want that, as he was almost a little fearful about living under a different roof with people that he did not know or trust. Therefore, he ran away and got a job working at a local market on the weekends and after his classes ended until the end of highschool, which was the same year.
Dane earned barely enough to scrape by, and took nightshifts at the market so that he could sleep there in a warm place. That summer he worked constantly, barely getting enough sleep, and after high-school finished he was offered a scholarship at a university in America. He accepted, and ended up completing his bachelors for both biochemical engineering and electrical engineering with flawless marks and a bored attitude, in six years, which might have been considered impossible to many others. After getting an easy job in the oil and gas industry that paid him more than any biomedical job could, he managed to begin renting a flat with the money he had saved up through many summer jobs.
When the meteor hit, he was fascinated by the idea, but was also one of the first to go in to hiding underground and save up some non-perishable food, in an attempt to keep himself alive to see what the content of the meteorite was.
