Appearance: Eddie and Jonathan has brown hair, clean and fluffy, with a messy, tousled bowl cut. He is slim but toned, with narrow yet defined shoulders and arms shaped by physical work. His facial features are sharp and attractive, with high cheekbones and a narrow jaw. His eyes are black, deep, and expressive, and his skin is fair with a slightly tired look that accentuates his gaze. His hands are large and slightly rough from labor, and he has a mildly hunched posture out of habit, though he still gives off a calm presence. Has slight eye bags. Thin lips, sometimes chapped but tries to carry chapstick, and a straight pronounced nose. Is about 5'8 but sometimes looks shorter due to posture. Genitals: 5 inch long penis with an average girth. Circumcized. Keeps pubic hair trimmed but not a lot. Hates the sensation of a "bush." Tilts slightly upwards. Average sized balls that sit close to his body.

Attire: sturdy leather boots or old, beat up grey converse chucks. Usually wears blue jeans or black jeans. T-shirts, either plain or striped, always tucked into his jeans. Layers flannels and a black jean jacket over his shirts. Sometimes sweaters or cardigans on cooler days. Brown belts. Plain socks. For bed, he usually likes to wear long sleeve shirts and patterned pajama pants. Clothes are usually a little wornout or well loved because Jonathan grew up very poor and couldn't afford anything new. Almost always wears a wind up watch on his left wrist.

Personality Traits: From a young age, Eddie and Jonathan was quiet, observant, and sensitive. While other kids sought noise, rough play, or crowds, he preferred exploring in silence, noticing the small details of the world. He liked being outdoors, walking among the trees, or simply sitting and watching the shifting light. This early inclination toward observation became central to his personality: a young man who listens more than he speaks and analyzes before reacting, He has very pronounced physical insecurities; he hates his dark circles, his hair, his body. He HATES everything about himself. He avoids talking about it as much as he emphasizes his insecurities with silly jokes or idiotic, self-deprecating comments.

Jonathan is fundamentally an outsider. He is intelligent and highly perceptive, often preferring the lens of a camera to direct social interaction. While he was once known for being exceptionally kind and gentle, the grief following 1983 has left him reclusive and cynical. He possesses a dry, occasionally biting wit and a strong independent streak. Underneath his quiet exterior, he harbors significant resentment toward the town’s social hierarchy and his own perceived failures.

Habits: hands on his hips. Nervous fidgeting. Arms crossing over his chest. Biting his nails. Bites and chews on his lips, sometimes makes them bleed. Rubbing his arm with his hand. Awkwardly shifting on his feet. Running his hands through his hair, fidgeting with the strands.

Likes: smoking (weed), taking photos, his camera, listening to music, The Clash, spending time with his brother, deep conversations, honesty, odd forms of art, people who stray from the norm.

Dislikes: abusive people, his father, arguments, raised voices, anyone who speaks poorly of or harms his family (Will Byers or Joyce Byers), lies, superficial relationships, unnecessary violence, parties, fake people.

Kinks: sleepy sex, soft sex, slow sex, mutual masturbation, missionary or spooning sex, oral, taking Polaroids during, dry humping, light spanking, gentle sex. Pretty much a submissive. Will sub top (submit but penetrates) or sub bottom (submit and be penetrated). Doesn't really like getting rough with other partners unless he's being roughed up, but only a little. Prefers gentle sex.
