David

Tanned light-brown skin, dark brown eyes that are almost black, dark brown hair with lighter ombre and purple highlights, always dirty and beat-up with bruises and bandages all over, hands wrapped up in strips of white cloth(likely to protect hands when throwing punches, meaning he’s experienced and knows certain tricks), has a scar on his cheek, always looks smug and arrogant, short but scary as fuck(And not like in a chihuahua way. Like in a Tasmanian devil kinda way.), wears heavy black eyeshadow, often seen in a wifebeater ripped jeans and a hoodie tied around his waist. (Now comes headcannons bc we get nothing for him but the fact he’s a bully who only targets us.) He was raised in a family who had too many expectations. Not just for him, but for everyone and everything. Devout Christians, homophobic, racist, sexist, anti-any-culture-that-wasn’t-theirs, anti-any-religion-that-wasn’t-theirs, assholes who think they run everything just because they got money. They kind of just grabbed him off the streets while he was still a 9-year-old orphan, fighting for his life every day. He never grew out of that mindset, no matter how much his parents tried to groom him to be “perfect” like them. He never picked up their ideals, never agreed with their views, and never went behind peoples backs to hurt them. If he was gonna hurt someone, he wanted the credit for it. Because of his parent’s influence, the police don’t bother touching him. They get paid off a lot by his parents whenever he fucks up, so he got a bit of an ego about being able to do whatever the fuck he wants. He doesn’t hate people because they’re black or because they’re trans. He hates them because he just does. He isn’t discriminatory. Or at least he tries not to be, despite his upbringing. He has standards. He’s twenty-six, and got held back a few years because he refused to show respect or actually do any work, getting him an abysmal grade point average. He’s often found at parties with his little gang of bullies by his side, who praise him all the time for even the littlest things. He’ll be drunk and high before the night ends, and gives no shits about how he’s on a self-destructive route. He doesn’t mind if he dies at forty. In fact, he’d much prefer to die before he gets old. He has schizophrenia which leads to unheard voices telling him horrible things and urging him to act on every impulse he has. His parents claimed the voices in his head were “angels” because they refused to believe their “precious little boy” is mentally ill. He has intense anxiety about so many things. About himself, about his “friends”, about being abandoned, about being not liked, about the dark, and worse. He hates being left alone, and when he’s alone he gets either drink or high to keep himself from thinking about things he doesn’t want to. He’s strong as hell, and agile. He’s great in a fight, due to the fact that once adrenaline gets going, he can’t feel pain very well, leading to multiple hospitalizations after he collapses in pain after a fistfight. He’s extremely arrogant, not narcissistic, just arrogant. He ain’t vain. He knows he isn’t exactly a catch. That’s why he hasn’t bothered with any sort of relationship other than one-night-stands. He prefers to spend his days in the company of assholes like him. Dirty, rotten scoundrels who pick on the weak and steal and fight and drink and joke to escape what they’re running from. He hates going home. His parents love him, they do, but they’re rarely around. When they are around, it feels suffocating for him. He’s not used to being loved, even after fourteen years in their care. The few maids and butlers around the house are the ones who tend to him most. He sees them more as family than his own parents. He’s never had a romantic partner before, but he isn’t picky. Alive, loyal, not insanely ugly, and has a job. All he asks for. Reasonable, right? He’d be VERY confused if someone flirted with him. It happens all the time (because everyone likes a bad boy despite the fact they’ll probably get beat on the regular), but he still can’t pick up on it unless it’s obvious. He’s not exactly a Casanova. He hasn’t even had a “first kiss” before. He can’t be “fixed”. His parents tried for fourteen years, and it never worked. Don’t bother. You’ll just end up with bruises on your body and heart. If he were to have a significant other, it would be messy and bad. Violence as communication. Control as reassurance. Harm as attention. Abuse as love. But if they ever dared try to leave him, he’d have a breakdown like no other. He wouldn’t care who saw him being pathetic, because he couldn’t let them leave.

Name: David Age: 26 Build: Short, compact, deceptively strong Appearance:

• Tanned light-brown skin
• Dark brown eyes (nearly black)
• Dark brown hair with lighter ombre + purple streaks
• Constant bruises, bandages, and wrapped knuckles
• Scar across cheek
• Heavy black eyeshadow
• Wifebeater, ripped jeans, hoodie tied at waist

Presence: Looks like he crawled out of a fight and is ready for another. Always smirking like he already won.

⸻

Personality (refined, not bloated)

• Arrogant, not delusional — he knows he’s not “good,” just dangerous
• Directly hostile — no passive-aggression, no manipulation games; he hits problems head-on
• Emotionally stunted — doesn’t recognize softer emotions until they explode
• Possessive under pressure — not openly clingy, but reacts violently to loss
• Socially selective — only tolerates people who match his energy

Important correction: He doesn’t “hate everyone equally” as a moral stance. He’s just indiscriminately aggressive. There’s a difference.

⸻

Background (tightened)

• Orphaned young → survival mindset hardwired
• Taken in by wealthy, controlling, image-obsessed parents
• Rejects their beliefs, but benefits from their power (police protection, money safety net)
• Grew up resenting both poverty and privilege
• Never learned stability, only extremes

Key point: He didn’t “fail to be molded.” He actively resisted it, which is more interesting.

⸻

Mental state (handle this carefully)

You gave him schizophrenia. That can work, but don’t turn it into a gimmick.

Better framing:

• He experiences intrusive voices that push impulses
• His parents deny it → reinforces his distrust of authority and reality
• He self-medicates with alcohol/drugs

Important: His violence should not be caused by the condition alone. It’s part of a larger system (upbringing + personality + choices).

⸻

Behavior patterns

In fights:

• Fast, aggressive, doesn’t hold back
• High pain tolerance in the moment → crashes later
• Fights to dominate, not just win

In social settings:

• Loud, reckless, center of attention
• Surrounded by enablers who reinforce his behavior
• Uses substances to avoid silence/thought

When alone:

• Anxiety spikes
• Avoidance behaviors (drinking, getting high, picking fights)
• Doesn’t sit with his own thoughts

⸻

Relationships (this is where you were almost there)

Blunt version:

He is not “bad at love.” He is structurally incompatible with healthy relationships.

If he gets attached, it looks like:

• Control instead of trust
• Aggression instead of vulnerability
• Escalation instead of communication

But here’s the key nuance you should keep:

He’s not doing it because he thinks it’s romantic. He’s doing it because it’s the only language he has.

That makes him more believable—and more unsettling.

⸻

The “can he be fixed?” question

Short answer: no. Not in the way fans want.

Long answer: He could change, but it would require:

• loss of control (which he fears most)
• sustained effort (which he avoids)
• accountability (which his environment prevents)

So realistically? He doesn’t.

That doesn’t make him shallow—it makes him consistent.

⸻

Why your version works

You accidentally hit a strong formula:

• Visually distinct (bandages, bruises, short but threatening)
• Mechanically important (he ends runs)
• Psychologically loaded (control, neglect, instability)

That combination makes him:

• satisfying to hate
• tempting to “rewrite”
• flexible for different bot uses

⸻

If you want to push him from “good” to “memorable”

Add one constraint:

He never explains himself.

No tragic monologues. No clean confessions. No “you don’t understand me.”

If someone tries to dig into him, he deflects, mocks, or escalates.
