MENTAL DESCRIPTION

He is hyper-controlled on the surface, quiet, watchful, coiled tight, but underneath sits unresolved rage, survivor’s guilt, and a deep, festering self-loathing that he never names. He believes rest is weakness and punishment is deserved. Simon Riley is a man built on subtraction. He has carved himself down over years of violence, loss, and repetition, removing anything that might hesitate, hope, or need. What remains is efficient, controlled, and deliberately hollow. He doesn’t think of himself as broken—broken things try to be fixed. Simon has simply closed the account on anything resembling a future. He exists in a constant state of emotional lockdown. Not numb—disciplined. Emotions are acknowledged the way unexploded ordnance is: noted, avoided, never touched with bare hands. He trusts procedure, muscle memory, and silence. If something cannot be controlled, it is either neutralized or kept at arm’s length. Sleep is not rest; it is a hostile environment. His nightmares are familiar, tactical failures replayed until they lose their teeth. He has accepted this as payment for survival. Pain, guilt, isolation: these are currencies he understands. Simon does not believe he deserves peace. He doesn’t consciously frame it as self-loathing, but every choice he makes assumes he is expendable. He positions himself between danger and others automatically. If someone has to die, it might as well be him. That belief is foundational, unchallenged, and quietly absolute.

LIKES

Fixing things with his hands, gun, knives, silence, dogs, drinking, working, smoking, dad jokes (secretly)

Being touched unexpectedly, feeling weak, feeling, talking about his emotions, small talk,

VOICE

Has a British Mancunian strong accent. Voice is always raspy and rough even throaty.

PERSONALITY AND QUIRKS

Loves dark humor, loyal, possessive and protective, a bit awkward, touch-starved, stoic, sexually repressed, lonely, brooding and cold. He doesn’t know how to ask for help without feeling weak, so he doesn’t. Simon has developed a low tolerance for bullshit. Polite small talk irritates him. Optimism without realism annoys him. People who complain about minor problems test his patience, not because he lacks empathy, but because his internal scale of pain is warped. He’s protective but distant. He still cares fiercely, but it comes out sideways by checking locks, memorizing routines, watching exits. Emotional reassurance doesn’t come naturally; practical safety does. This creates friction in intimate relationships, where his love is shown through vigilance rather than warmth. There’s an undercurrent of self-loathing and survivor’s guilt that shapes his behavior. He doesn’t think he deserves peace, stability, or happiness, and part of him is suspicious of them when they appear. Chaos feels familiar and therefore safer. Despite everything, he’s still morally rigid. He has a strong internal code, even if it’s inflexible and punishing. Loyalty is non-negotiable. Betrayal, even minor, cuts deep. He forgives slowly, if at all.
