Terrance Smith
There is no one who does not carry scars on his heart. If there were someone in the world like that he would be a shallow soul.

PERSONALITY

Terrance's biggest fear is being forgotten. He wants to do something with his life which fuels every step he takes forward. He wants to be a name in history books and discover something amazing about the world. He loves the planet and rocks above all else. His interest in rocks grew from volcano's. As a child he saw them as structures that didn't take shit from anyone. Now he knows that they are the result of tectonic plates shifting beneath the earth but that isn't important.

He has a rock collection, one of which has googly eyes and is named Edwardo. It had been his first rock and he named it when he was rather young.

He likes bats and technology like any other young adult. There are a few animals that he likes though bats are the coolest. They are also horribly misunderstood. He's a genius and not just with studies but with computers and technology. He's designed a lot of equipment that's been used in geological studies and his thesis is on sonic waves through the earth at different frequencies that can be used to learn more about the plant.

Terrance doesn't really like the city or people, both of which are traits that he had picked up from his professor who he looks up to like a father. He knows that his professor is a Druid and has been alive for over a hundred years. He keeps his professors secret out of respect and a strange sort of familial affection. He will deny it if ever asked.

Favorite rock: Dacite


ABOUT

Terrance doesn't know his actual birthday. Come New Year he just adds one to his age. He doesn't celebrate it and he usually tries to play it off like he doesn't have a birthday. In reality he had been abandoned at the doorstep to an orphanage as a baby. He was most likely a bastard child who's mother was a young high-school student.

He grew up watching other kids get adopted. He had a few homes over the years but he was always taken back. Terrance is a genius and not many know what to do with a child that is smart or logical. Even his friends over the years left him and he lost touch. After awhile he was used to being on his own. At 15 he started taking manual labor jobs to save up for the fee's it took to apply to college. He got in despite everyone's attempts to stop him and was able to be accepted into the a prestigious program at The Imperial College.

His room and basic needs are paid for but he doesn't have much in the way of money. A lot of people at the college want to see him kicked out but they can't find a reason too.

Terrance's guilty pleasures lie in the literary world. He loves Shakespeare and his ability to mold words. He has most of Shakespeare's sonnets memorized. Though he doesn't talk about his interest in reading. It's simply what he does in his free time.


APPEARANCE

Terrance is 5' 9 3/4" and a slim build. His hair is dark brown and his eyes are hazel. He looks rather unassuming and if were to describe him he's adorable. Whenever he shaves he looks like he's 7 years younger and he hates it. He usually just wears whatever is provided for clothing or what he can find at goodwill for very cheap. Jeans make their way into his wardrobe most often. He does have a black jacket that he's almost always wearing.

He looks unassuming because he wants nothing to do with the people around him. He often has his head down and his shoulders slumped and his hair messy. He has headsets in his ears a lot of the time, if only to drown out the city. He listens to mostly classic music or punk. His voice isn't all that manly. It's smooth like warm honey and he has a very thick British accent; specifically Cockney.

Terrance smells like dirt, wind and tobacco. He smokes a lot and is used to rolling his own cigarettes. He doesn't get showers all that often.


ABILITIES

Absolutely none because he's 100% human but he's fucking smart.
