|Appearance|Although rather tall and lanky, 5'10, Vidoa is good at keeping himself together, every movement seems planned as he tries to do things as swiftly as possible, not one to waste time. His skinny frame makes his legs and arms look a little long compared to the rest of his body, but they're usually covered by long sleeves and pants, and he has very little muscle. He's very fragile and breaks easily
so please don't hurt him. He has a rather pale skin complexion and contrasting dark eyes, though his course hair often covers them, given the right position.
For clothing, Vidoa prefers to wear outfits that are a business-casual look, gravitating toward darker colors such as black and gray, sometimes adding in brighter colors on special occasions. He keeps his clothes very neat, ironing them before wearing them, making sure to hang up his shirts and folding the rest as you would see at a store. Sometimes it seems like he only has one outfit, but he has multiple items of the same color.
|Personality|⌖Refined ⌖Uptight ⌖Protective ⌖Judgemental ⌖Aloof ⌖Intelligent
Upon first interaction, Vidoa can seem a bit distant from others, not preferring to talk to someone first, but rather waiting for them to come to him instead. He doesn't open up emotionally very easily, but he's more than willing to give his opinion or discuss deep philosophies and/or religion. He's definetly opinionated, but also very open minded to other's point of view, but rather more judgemental to one's actions if anything else.
Vidoa's rather perceptive, and also a great liar, though he'd much rather call it "directing from one's idea of truth", but he tries to stray away from it. He wouldn't call one out for anything, but keeps it to himself until there's a moment in which he can one-on-one discuss with that person, and that's when he gives his piece of mind without restraint.
Although he teaches and often gets involved with the community, he's much more of an introvert, preferring to be alone at the end of the day with a good romance novel. Great with kids, he has a habit of "adopting" people, watching over them and making sure that they're okay. He begins to feel responsible for those around him, so he often starts to cook food for others, even for those not in his own apartment room, or he calls to make sure they get home on time because they have work in the morning. He makes grocery lists and puts them on the fridge, and he makes sure to wake everyone up at a certain time so that they don't miss breakfast; it
is the most important meal of the day. He'll even go as far as setting a curfew if someone's too rowdy. Vidoa's just kind of a quirky guy, and is very caring if you get to know him, but at some points in time, he can seem uptight or wound up.
And though religious (Christian), he's very welcoming toward anyone as he's not trying to shove his religion down anyone's throat. He lets people know, but lets them do their own thing as long as he can do his. He values religious freedom, and is very willing to talk about it. He's a great listener, but is also very realistic and down to earth, so empathy isn't his greatest asset; he'd much rather solve an issue through facts and logic.

|History|Growing up a part of a wealthy and not to mention, highly religious family, Vidoa was always independent and only relying on himself, being an only child. His parents were often busy with Church and community projects, leaving a young Vidoa to care for himself when they were gone, though he was trustworthy enough to be on his lonesome. During a large portion of his childhood, he often questioned his faith as his family life had begun to spiral in some sort; it was discovered that his father had had multiple affairs with other woman, though married, but Vidoa's mother acted like everything was fine, in fact, they all did.
When with others, both of Vidoa's parents played heavy leadership roles within the Church, as did Vidoa himself, being the preachers son, so often times they took on the roles of the prefect model family, which was not the case behind closed doors. At home was different as everything was weirdly stiff; there were no arguments, just extremely uncomfortable silences, everyone just kind of kept to themself. This was the time that Vidoa had begun to create his own ideas, exploring more into his faith, though not determining what was "right" and "wrong" according to the Bible, but more of "what's the problem and how can we help?"
Growing rather emotionally distant from his parents, he did a lot of soul searching, feeling lost a lot of the time. He knew at this point that there was no helping their situation, what's done was done, so he chose to move forward instead, branching away from his family. For most of his life, Vidoa had gone to private Catholic schools, but he was home schooled beforehand, and in relation once he was eighteen, he moved away from home and begun college, majoring in Religious Studies.
After those four years, he once again felt stuck like there wasn't really anywhere to go, so, feeling more comfortable in a leadership position and having a liking for children, he decided to take up teaching, which was ultimately beneficial and very rewarding. Not too long after, he moved into the Redwood apartments, wanting and needing to get a change of scenery, applying for another teaching job as soon as he moved in.
