[b]Appearance[/b]: Shawn generally gives the impression that appearance is the last thing on his mind. His chestnut brown hair is grown out long past his neck, which he keep tied up in a ponytail with his hair pushed back from his forehead. He has a rather poorly shaven beard as well, with random patches of his chin merely showing signs of stubble while others have obviously just been outright forgotten. His has a triangular face with a wide forehead and a pointed chin, with gray-blue eyes that often seem to stare and wonder around room, with straight eyebrows, and always seems to have a slightly irritated frown. Stands up tilted and rather slouched at around 6 foot tall, with a lean, athletic and physically fit body. His clothes are often messy, usually just throwing on the first thing he pulls out from his closet.

[b]Personality[/b]: Shawn [i]tries[/I] to be friendly and polite to people, but due to his deep-seated rage issues, this often proves difficult. He has always had a hair-trigger temper that he never, not once in his life, learned to control. This was always more out of a genuine lack of knowledge on proper social skills, rather than out of maliciousness and hatred. He just never quite understood subtle social queues or what is considered acceptable behaviour to other people, meaning that he can often be blissfully unaware of the nature of his action. When not factoring in his temper, Shawn just proves to be incredibly awkward, lonely, insecure, childish, and one big barrel of self-loathing, and a lot of his general rudeness isn't because he's an intentional jerk, but because he never talked to enough people to learn basic social etiquette

[b]Brief Bio[/b]: Shawn's upbringing and home life was positively idyllic -- he grew up in a middle class family in a reasonably sized two-story house in a relatively safe neighbourhood, his parents were more-or-less loving and doting people, and he went to wealthy private school where bullying was rarely a problem. All in all, there was no trauma or abuse that could possibly explain his behaviour -- yet to him, that just makes his rage issues [i]more[/I] troubling for him because he's convinced that he has no-one else to blame but himself. In school, he always instantly shut down any prospect of friendship by accidentally saying or doing say something abrasive or rude, leading to constant isolation. At his younger age, he never quite understood why no-one liked him, as nobody ever actually pointed out his anger until his teenage years, and thus he never tried to adjust his behaviour, always thinking that it was somehow other people's fault. When he actually realized what was wrong in his teenage years, he was far too entrenched in how he acted to actually properly change anything -- it was all unconscious behaviour that he was only barely aware of. After he left home he found that he could never really get any job where he had to work with many people, and after a while searching, settled on being a construction worker, as he was always quite physically fit. He stills fails to make any real friendships and relationships, despite constant attempts, and often goes to the library after or in-between work.

[b]Other[/b]: I love books, y'know. (I think the other CSes have... forgotten something, wouldn't you think?)
