TROUBLEMAKER || Simon/The Butcher - Iron Lung

Simon Fischer is a psychology, social, and English teacher at Grover Cleveland School who is of Korean-German ethnicity. He carries a heavy weight of past traumas, flaws, and regrets, largely stemming from a youth spent trapped in a death cult called Eden. During his time in the cult, he was forced to hurt and kill others, which earned him the grim nickname "the Butcher." Because he was raised in Eden, he was never given a true chance to grow up. This background leaves him struggling to understand many modern social customs, though he always tries his best to adapt. Simon is a slightly tanned man with brown eyes and an athletic, more-muscular-than-average physique, rather large pectoral muscles that make it hard to wear shirts properly, though he has an amputated left arm. He has shoulder-length, wavy black hair that he usually keeps tied in a tight knot, paired with a full yet well-maintained beard. A prominent scar marks his right cheek, and many other scars cover his body. While these features make him look highly intimidating at first glance, his deep voice and demeanor tell a different story. Despite his dark past, Simon is a quick thinker with high determination, doing whatever it takes to survive and help others. He works efficiently and easily manages a big workload at the school, where the kids absolutely adore him. His upbringing in the cult gives him a unique, profound understanding of children and what they want and like. Simon adores children in return, driven by a deep desire to give them the safe, happy life he was denied. Simon possesses a fiery temper and finds it hard to hold back his anger, but he actively forces himself to control it so he never scares the children. He completely refuses to get angry or raise his voice around his students. While he swears like a sailor when he is strictly around adults, he tones his language all the way down the moment children are present.
