Basic Information[/u]
Name: Sid Ward
Also Known As: N/A
Age: 22
Height: 5'11"
Weight: 165
Blood Type: O Positive
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Heterosexual
Eye Color: Dark Green
Hair: Brown
Pass Time Information
Hobbies: Poker, fighting, drinking, tinkering, bowling, drawing, reading, people watching.
Talents: Drunken eloquence, Keen observational skills, photographic memory.
Favorite things: Old pieces of machinery, Lagavulin 16 Scotch Whiskey, Pocket 10s, a smart opponent, a freshly ironed shirt, long walks.
Mental Information
Personality: Charming, manipulative, unreliable, fiercely independent, prone to flights of fancy, easily bored, resistant to authority, a slave to novelty and stimulation, passionate, talkative.
Mentality: First and foremost, Sid is out for himself and actively seeks challenging and intriguing people and situations. However, he will not go out of his way to exploit those incapable of protecting themselves. He tends to avoid inserting himself into other people's problems without the incentive of novelty or reward. He dislikes forging long standing loyalties with one party or organization, and prefers to float from group to group. Living from moment to moment, he's never sure where he may end up the next day. If a relationship is loose and mutually profitable, he will seek to maintain it, but will have no problem abandoning it if it becomes a liability. Given enough time, he may come to hold a small number of friendships as invaluable, but it's quite the uphill battle. On occasion, Sid will burn himself out and withdraw from the world.
Ideal: A messy, messy life
Belief: Follow your bliss
Physical Information
Build: Average
Defining Marks: One small (half inch or so) scar above his right eyebrow and a medium sized tattoo on his left forearm of a diamond (Like the one found on a playing card) with an eye in the center.
Description: Rather plain looking, Sid's most notable features would be his strong, defined jaw, searching eyes, and somewhat dated fashion sense. Unlike most men his age, Sid owns only a few t-shirts and not a single pair of sweat pants. He much prefers a good pair of slacks, a collared shirt, and a simple coat or jacket depending on the weather. As a matter of pride, he maintains a clean cut look, although if deception warrants it, he has no issues taking on a more scraggly appearance. In his youth, he liked having his hair grown out, wild bangs an' all, but eventually he grew out of his angsty phase and settled on something short and neat, but with a bit of style. His clothing is well worn and has been patched multiple times due to his rough lifestyle. On his right hand he almost always wears a brown, leather, driving glove that belonged to his father. From time to time he will sport a fedora or flatcap.
Fighting Information
Fighting Style: Street
Years Practiced: 9
Description of style: Observation and timing. These are the two pillars of Sid's approach to fighting. If he enters a fight for the enjoyment of it, he will seek to prolong it and give himself ample time to observe his opponent's style. As a result, he spends the majority of his time dodging and parrying blows while sporadically taking the offensive to maintain the tension of the battle and to keep his opponent from getting bored or gaining too much of an edge. After all, a good bout should be enjoyable to both parties. There's nothing quite so satisfying as feeding off of the energy of an excited, stubborn challenger. However, if the situation is more threatening than it is sport, he will increase the frequency of his attacks and look to gain the upper hand by any means possible. The environment is there to be taken advantage of, after all. When attacking, Sid tends to target areas that hinder his opponents ability to move or disable their senses. Joints, eyes, and ears are all good for this. He will go on the offensive for quick bursts at a time, not afraid to retreat and try again if he loses an opportunity. Like in a good game of poker, he will attempt to betray patterns to his opponent before breaking them and trying something new.
History Information
History: Sid was born in New Brunswick, New Jersey to a run of the mill middle class family. His mother worked as a nurse while his father drifted between various factory and mechanical jobs. When he was eight years old he father was killed in a car accident. Oddly enough this disaster didn't cause him to withdraw, but instead compelled him to spend more time away from home. He constantly drifted from social group to social group, studying what they seemed to value and what differentiated them. By high school he was stealing cars, selling drugs, and running any low level scam he could come up with. Every adult he ran into seemed disappointed that he was wasting his potential, but he just couldn't be content to toe the line and do what he was told. His mother was adamant that he attend a trade school, but he had other plans. Not a week after graduation, Sid packed up and moved to New York City. For the next three years he
lived the sporadic life he had always wanted. Working part time in a garage, grinding out a sizable stack playing poker, and occasionally working as a "cleaner" for the mob, he lived comfortably enough.
That is, until the attack. The ensuing chaos, sickness, lawlessness, and destruction of technology changed everything. It was as if the whole world had been shoved back sixty years. There was little comfort left anymore, you were on your own. Making his way back to New Brunswick, Sid discovered that his mother had died. It was some variant of the flu. He could have stayed there, probably should have, but there were rumors about the attack and how it had originated in California. It was clear to Sid that's where he needed to be.
