OVERALL
I've been told I'm "hard to put on paper" a lot by people, mainly because I'm quite...twitchy in a sense. I don't like to sit still and when I was younger, I suffered from mild ADHD and I still suffer from the twitching slightly, though now it's isolated to my legs and fingers when I sit still, like in my car or on a plane. Anyway, I'm the guy who has the confidence to do whatever he wants, I'm an intelligence analyst for the local police here as well as the FBI branch in the nearby bigger city. I'm also a hacker computer geek on the side, so basically if you need help with anything electronic, come to me. I have a tendency to look at people and then judge them based on how they carry themselves, and I like to people-watch. It's a hobby of mine that I like, including magic. Like most witch hybrids, once I accessed my magic, it flows through me like a regular witch, which is a plus. I absolutely love my magic and what I'm able to do with it, and while in high school I used it to woo my then girlfriend, Jolene into falling in love with me. Too bad that didn't last.

I'm a good guy I'd like to think. I'm loyal, and I'm a natural-born leader. Sports are also my thing, and I have a bit of a Nazi-grammar streak in me. I minored in English - don't ask - and therefore I'm the type of guy who if I happen to be reading over someone's paper, there will most likely be red marks all over it because I'm like that. Sometimes I'm labeled being a perfectionist, but I blame it on due to the fact that I was in the Navy for three years, most of the time I was on a ship when my daughter was growing up, once I got out I wanted more time with her, which I got, till Jolene took her away from me. Anyway, yeah, anything else?

OVERALL
Ok, Amy (Amelia) and my dad, Marshall met when they were in college. Amy was studying International Business and my dad was an English major, getting a secondary degree with Education. They fell in love, and 'lo and behold, my older brother Nathan was born. At this time they were in Eureka, California - I know right? - and they then moved down to San Diego when Amy fell pregnant with me about two years later, wanting to be closer to their parents, our grandparents. So then, Amy gave birth to me, and at the time, they knew what we would be. Freaks in a world of freaks. To be honest, they knew with the witch blood, we could turn into any other animal we desired with magic, but our easily-shifting animal would only be one, like our father's blood, a shapeshifter. I was born on a chilly day on December 9th at about 3 in the morning to my mom, and I was a healthy baby - fortunately. My younger brother, Grayson came about two years later as well, placing me in the middle and all three of us boys two years apart. Personally, my mom admitted she had been wanting at least one girl when we were older, but she said she loved us just the same, and we trusted her, she cared for us three boys, kept us in line, though I usually was the one who kept Grayson and Nathan from killing each other, not literally, you know what I mean.

So when I turned 9, I really got into computers and sports. Nathan was involved in surfing at this time, and he showed me and Grayson how do to it. We loved it. Course we wanted to do the big waves and our parents let us, as long as we wore a necklace, fortunately it looked "manly" for us so they could make sure if we got caught in a riptide or flipped off our surfboard, our mom could lock in on that collar and pull us to safety with magic. Nevertheless, we were home-schooled with our magic, and attended a nice private school, our grandparents wanting us to get a good education and such. So there we were, three blonde-haired boys, tan and surfers in California. Stereotype? Well, my love for computers came around when I entered middle school. There I learned my passion for them, I even built my own first computer when I was in 8th grade. Nevertheless, I fell in love with them and I currently use that has a hobby too - even if it might be a bit dangerous.

We moved to - god forbid - Montana when I was 15, going on 16, and Nathan was heading off to college soon after he graduated this year. So he was okay, but Grayson and I hated it. We hated Montana, and Nathan offered when he left, that we could live with him as long as I at least got a job and helped support them, while our parents helped out as well, though wanted him to get out on his own. We missed California. The beaches, the surfing, the soccer. In Montana - we felt like fish out of water. No pun intended. Course I entered my sophomore of high school there, and then I got into smoking. I loved it, and I also picked up being on the soccer team and boxing with my younger brother, Grayson when Nathan moved out. Shortly after I started smoking, I started to shift for the first time one afternoon at home. I fell to the ground and my dad ran to me, and told me to envision an animal, to just let it come naturally and the animal would be chosen for me, to give me the best animal for my personality, and what I wanted. I initially thought of the Wolverine, proud, strong, and stubborn like I was, but with a side that would kill to protect their loved ones. I shifted, and my dad, a bear shifter, shifted as well, and supported me while I literally stumbled around as a Wolverine, before managing to shift back, and my dad said one thing he said a few times, of being proud of me.

So needless to say, after getting out of my ADHD with soccer and smoking, I met Jolene when I was 18, and just signing up for the Navy when I graduated high school and attended college as well. Jolene was gorgeous, a runner, blonde and funny, sweet. She caught my eye and soon we began dating. She asked me multiple times to quit smoking, and finally, when I was 19 going on 20, I quit. It sucked, but I did it. I was enrolled into the Navy, and then, about a year before I would be deployed for my first tour, Jolene told me something I couldn't believe. She was pregnant. I felt like she had just shot me with my own gun. I couldn't believe that she, being only 19 then, was pregnant. I had let it happen, and I told her I would take care of her and the baby. Jolene trusted me and I promised her I would be there, and though I was on tour, I managed to make it back about an hour before Sydney was born. My daughter was absolutely breath-taking beautiful, and perfection. Jolene and I were engaged by then, and Jolene asked if for now, Sydney could have her last name. I was hesitant, but let her do that anyway.

Needless to say, I was 22 when everything happened. Jolene broke off our engagement about two months after I got back from my tour in the Gulf, and I told her I wanted to still see Sydney, I loved my daughter and still do to this day. Jolene though, had found someone else. I promised her, that Sydney would look for me one day when she got older, Jolene was only human, Sydney would have witch and shifter blood in her all her life. Sydney cried so hard when Jolene left, and I couldn't believe it had happened. I called Jolene multiple times, but in the end, she ended up changing phone numbers, and saying I had been a horrible father to our child, and she never let me see her except in photos once a year, on Sydney's birthdays, like she's taunting me with her. I refuse to let it get to me, and just recently I have received her 4-year-old photo, but Jolene also told me she's married to this guy, Kenneth. What-ever, at least Sydney is happy and healthy and safe, and that's all that matters. I also relapsed into smoking about a year ago when I got this job with the police department and FBI, but I gotta love those nicotine patches. I stopped that fully, and now I hate bars due to the smoke, but a bit of magic never hurts. I love it here in Manuka, and I don't plan on moving if I have to, though I do search for that special someone...the one for me, even if I'll never admit it.
