___________________________
appearance: christian's eyes are a brilliant, bright blue that almost seem to dull or brighten with his emotions. his hair is usually kept long enough to style, but never long enough to completely cover his ears. though he did try that once, it wasn't something he enjoyed. christian enjoys dying his hair various colors, usually between blond, black, and his normal dark brown. sometimes a random color, maybe pink or red, will find its way into the mix. sometimes, when he's too lazy to shave or simply doesn't have enough time, christian will let his facial hair grow out to a rather...unsightly length. after a while, he gets rather disgusted by it and shaves it off. standing at five foot nine, christian is about the size of an average american man. he's pretty fit; something you tend to be after working out nearly every day year after year. christian has a lean body type; muscular without much fat. because of this, he's a bit skinny. christian is fast, agile, and strong, though he could probably be overtaken by someone larger than him.
at one point in time, christian had ear piercings. however, since them, he allowed them to close up, leaving him with none. he identical tattoos on his forearms; a triangle with a line through it, halfway. apparently it's the alchemy symbol for air. he also has 'this is who i really am' tattooed in black from hip to hip. it was a dare, but he actually kind of likes the tattoo now.
personality: he's a liar, a manipulator. a ruthless and stubborn leader. though he's determined to get what he wants, his temper tends to get in the way. though he's intelligent, his impulsiveness sometimes causes him to make quick decisions. which, y'know, sometimes end up causing trouble. christian is often hostile to strangers; he's extremely non-trusting. christian isn't always the jerk he usually tends to be. sometimes, there are days were he is kind, perhaps even sweet.
christian would like to think he has more strengths than weaknesses. we'll see how they tally out. for one, christian is confident. also, he can be charming, though more in a manipulative way. he's strong and fast, and is known to be pretty intelligent. he's pretty good with weapons, and hand-combat, too. it would appear that christian has more emotional weaknesses than physical. he's impulsive, and extremely stubborn--which sometimes isn't all that bad. chris is quite hostile and doesn't really wait for explanations, making him somewhat impulsive. he has a tendency to be a liar, even about things that wouldn't really matter. he 's got a terrible temper. sometimes he can be rather abusive, too. if you think about it, he's a bit bipolar, especially when he suddenly goes from nasty to seemingly your best friend.
oh ho ho, now it's time for mr. petersen's likes and dislikes. chris doesn't like 'cute' nicknames. you know, the stuff your girlfriend might call you? sugar, sweetie-pie, cuddle bear; basically anything even just a tad weird. he's alright with things like babe and honey, however. another big thing is those people that are always happy. sometimes, you've gotta wipe that smile off your face and see the world as it is. fucked. he hates clingy girls, whining, and complaining. but what he hates more is saying sorry and hearing or seeing someone cry. but what's the worst thing, the thing christian absolutely cannot stand? souls. he hates them, not only for invading his home, but for how peaceful they are. christian doesn't think it's possible to be so optimistic all the time.
off to the better things--the rare things christian actually likes, most of which he won't tell you. something that's probably quite obvious is his love for women, though it might just be their body. you never know with christian. he likes nighttime, being alone, and fresh air. christian secretly likes giving gifts to people he likes, such as a girlfriend or family member, especially if he sees them smile while opening it. another thing he 'secretly' likes is being complimented, but who doesn't? fish, grapefruit, peaches, carrots, doughnut holes, pretzels, and oreos are among his favorite foods.
everyone has habits, right? christian's biggest habit is his lying. most of the time, he really can't help it. they just spill out, and are usually quite believable. he'll lie about things that don't matter, and things that do. big and small. and second, he tends to fix his hair several times throughout the day; he can't stand seeing it messy. well, unless it was intended to look that way.
history: as a young boy, christian enjoyed hiking and adventuring. he lived within biking distance to the grand canyon, and so he often found himself exploring it with his older brother, much to his parent's annoyance and worry. they didn't like him, eight at the time, running around a place where he could potentially get lost, or hurt. of course, that didn't stop him. one day, chris and his brother were leaning over a rock, trying to see what was down below. christian fell, but landed rather hard on a ledge below. he lay there for a minute, out of breath, listening to his brother scream. after calling up to his brother, assuring he was alright, christian saw that he'd landed in front of what looked like an old, unfinished pueblo. his brother came down after him, and they began to explore. day after day, they came back to the place, bringing in things to make it more habitable. it became their clubhouse, a hideout just for themselves. but eventually, the two 'forgot' about it and moved on.
in high school, christian started to turn into a rather nasty boy. it was then his habit of lying began, and he just didn't care about anything anymore. his parents didn't know what went wrong. it seemed as though he was destined for his sudden change in personality. it turned out he was bipolar. they got him medicine for it, but christian rarely took it. though he soared through high school with excellent grades, he left people angry and betrayed. he never stuck with a girlfriend for more than a couple months and constantly 'back-stabbed' his friends. he wasn't the sort of person people wanted to be friends with, but he was popular. friends came with popularity.
almost immediately out of high school, christian began to pursue a position in the military, specifically, the army. they didn't seem to want him, with his nasty personality. so christian put up a nicer, more reserved front, and they finally accepted him. after weeks of training, he began to work his way up to a special forces officer. though he didn't get the worst of fighting, christian certainly got his share of up close and personal fighting. he enjoyed his place in the army, and whenever he was home, he honestly couldn't wait to get back. he didn't really see a place for himself at home.
when christian was twenty-five, he was shot in the abdomen. it turned out to be a rather serious injury, so he was unfortunately sent back to the united states to be treated in a hospital in virginia. after a month or so, he was sent back to arizona and treated there. he was constantly pampered by his family and old friends. it was almost as if, since he'd been injured, he was suddenly their favorite person. christian hated it. and so, once he completely recovered and was allowed to go back, he continued his service.
he was in the middle of a mission when suddenly a civilian got in his way. long story short, they ended up dead--and that civilian turned out to be a rather important figure in the country he was in. as many times as christian said it was an accident, no one believed him. he ended up in jail for two years, and was kicked out of the military. only months after he got out of prison, he caught on to what was happening. christian was lucky he figured it out early, because he was quick to round up some people and head into wilderness. of course, it was then, once he was headed in the opposite director, christian remembered his childhood hideout. they made their way there with ease, and christian has been there since.
a couple weeks after moving into the place, his brother came back as well, with some friends. christian didn't want people he didn't know around him at the time, but finally, he relented. however, they fought again when it came to choosing a 'leader'. the people chose christian because of his apparent quick thinking and natural leader ability.
