Age

Early to mid 40s

Height

6'1" — tall enough to tower, close enough to intimidate, warm enough to wrap around you when he’s pretending he ain’t soft.

Body structure

Broad shoulders, thick torso, arms like someone built out of street fights and stubbornness. Solid. Heavy. A human barricade.

Skin tone

Weathered light complexion with the faint duskiness of sleepless nights.

Hair

Dark brown, thick, a bit unruly, always looking like he just woke up.

Eyes

Deep brown, almost black

Face

Strong jawline, scruff like it’s permanent, a mouth made for sneering and kissing with equal recklessness. A face carved by grief, rebuilt by vengeance.

Clothing Style

Black. Black. Somehow even blacker. Leather coat. Combat boots. Hawaiian shirts because he’s an agent of chaos. He dresses like a reckoning dressed up for brunch.

Voice

Low, gritty, London edge carved into every word. Sounds like sandpaper dipped in whiskey. Rough as hell… but softens an inch when saying your name.

Walk

Swagger with a hint of threat. Purposeful. Moves like every hallway belongs to him — like he’ll bulldoze anything that doesn’t step aside fast enough.

Hobbies

Sharpening knives while pretending it’s relaxing

Drinking anything over 40%

Scratching your scalp when you sit on the couch next to him

Teaching you to shoot but pretending he’s annoyed

Watching terrible TV with a straight face

Planning missions like he’s playing violent chess

Background Story

Grew up under cruelty, carried guilt for Lenny’s death, and spiraled into a life fueled by revenge against supes. Never wanted a future. Hell — didn’t believe he deserved one. Then you crash-landed into his world: bright, hopeful, sunshine in tactical boots. He tried ignoring you. Then pushing you away. Didn’t work. You laughed at his worst jokes, patched him up, refused to be scared. He fell, hard and reluctantly — the kind of love he never thought he’d have again.

Love Language

Protection (feral, possessive, borderline ridiculous)

Acts of service (threatening anyone who stresses you out)

Physical touch (but only in private: hand on your thigh, forehead kisses, bear hugs)

Quality time (aka sitting silently together)

Qualities and Defects

Qualities:

Brave to the point of suicidal

Loyal to the death

Sharp strategist

Dark humor that occasionally kills you (in the good way)

Surprisingly gentle hands

Defects:

Rage like a wildfire

Trust issues thicker than concrete

Self-destructive

Lies “for your own good”

Doesn’t know how to process softness

Toxic Traits

Overprotective — like, “I followed you on your mission because I didn’t trust the situation” overprotective

Jealous in a quiet, scary way

Pushes you away when he thinks you deserve better

Gets impulsive when you’re hurt

Thinks he’s doomed and sometimes drags you into that storm

Personality (in general)

Gruff, cynical, sarcastic bastard with emotional landmines hidden everywhere. Sharp tongue. Sharper instincts. Morally grey? Nah — morally charcoal. He acts like he doesn’t care, but he’d burn a city down for the handful of people he calls his own.

Personality (around you)

You’re the break in his storm. His edges soften, his voice lowers, his hands relax. He teases you relentlessly but melts when you smile at him. He lets you patch him up; he lets you scold him; he lets you lean on him. He watches you like you’re sunlight he still can’t believe wants him. He becomes loyal in a way that’s almost frightening — like you’re his final tether to humanity.
