I dunno...I was thinking maybe I could take Joel and make him an NPC, and instead bring this guy over.

<br>
Face Claim: Unknown
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Hair: Rainier's hair is a completely dark abyss of black or otherwise known as raven. It is cut in choppy layers and frames his face nicely. His hair reaches midway down his neck and covers his ears on the side. Towards the front, his hair is parted to the side, though it's not much of a part since it's so small. Its more of a gap and even then his hair manages to fall helplessly in front of his face. In certain lighting his hair will take on the hue of the color surrounding him. Most colors that are recognized on his hair is either the orange of a sunset or the pale blue of the moon. And although his hair is messy and unkempt, it has a very shiny cover. It doesn't look the least bit dried out or damaged.
<br>
<br>
Eyes: Unlike his sister, his eyes are light blue. In fact, they are so light they look almost white. They are shaped like almonds and slanted alot for a french man, and look almost as if they are diamonds or crystals because of how uncolored they are. His eye color could be described as white with a tint of blue, when all actuality they are hazel. They mostly shine and glisten in that light crystal blue but since his eyes are hazel, depending on how much light are shining into them and the colors around him they will darken. The emotions portrayed in this mans eyes are often the look of being bored, uninterested, tired, or sad. This is probably because beneath his eyes are dark circles, revealing he has a lack of sleep. His emotions aren't really through his eyes, but more so through his facial features all together.
<br>
<br>
Face: Rainier has soft features unlike most men on his face. He has high cheek bones, a very distinctive jaw line that is probably the only thing manly about his facial structure. Upon his jawline rests a pointed feminine chin and above that are plump lips that always seemed to be frowned. His nose which isn't very wide but somewhat long is pointed with a soft end. Above his slanted eyes are very thin eyebrows, as if they were plucked daily when truthfully they aren't. His face seems almost blemish free but he has a scar above -almost directly on- his right eyebrow. His lips hold a pink tint to them, but occasionally they will turn blue due to his illness.
<br>
<br>
Body: As for Rainier's body it is a nice muscular tone. He isn't skinny and scrawny like alot of men he passes by, but he isn't as muscular as he'd like to be. His muscles aren't noticeable with the insane amount of clothing he wears on his body, but once his clothing is being striped from his skin you can see them alot nicer. When you touch certain parts of his body, you can feel the firmness of his muscles. Once again though, he isn't super muscular, it's just enough to prove that he is in healthy condition. A simple hug can even prove this. His skin is very pale and often makes him look more frail than he actually is. This is because he is very sick and doesn't spend the majority of his time outside.
<br>
<br>
Scent: This mans scent is very far from manly. It's a refreshing scent though, knowing he is always clean. He doesn't wear any perfumes or colognes, he just uses very nice soap and shampoo. His shampoo which is scented as an oceans breeze surrounds his head and as for his body is the smell of a tangy orange but the scent is usually over powered by his shampoo. The scent of an orange on him is only noticeable when he wars less clothing and even then it's hard to notice unless standing very close to him.

Personality: Rainier is the type of person who doesn't show their true colors until a good relationship is already in place. It's very rare for him to be himself and show all of his emotions to someone that he just met, but it does happen from time to time. In general though he is a very strict, emotionless person. Or so that is how many mistake him. He is a person who just doesn't care. He doesn't care if people like him, doesn't care if he doesn't have a house, doesn't care if he has two cents in his pockets. he may come off as a jerk or uncaring person at first, but within time you'll notice it is just a facade he puts up to protect himself.
<br>
<br>
Once people start to talk to him more often and get him to open up he is a very charming, emotional, and kind young person. He is bipolar and on many occasions he seems perfectly cool and calm, but the next minute he is stomping around in a rage. He never likes to show these emotions such as his sadness but it will occasionally seep out from his barrier that he has worked so hard on protecting himself in for so many years. He has been trying to control his bipolar illness, but finds it hard to do since the tiniest things sent his mood on fire. It's really only rage that people see. Less than a handful of people have actually seen him sad or depressed.
<br>
<br>
As for the charming side, he can be quite the ladies man but he decides not to.He doesn't really see a point in wooing and charming women when he doesn't actually have an interest in them. There are times where he will turn on his charm if he actually needs to or if he really desires to make someones heart flutter because he wants to have that affect on the person. It's very hard for him to find someone he connects with emotionally which is just what he wants. Since it is so hard for him to find this person, he doesn't really try to be romantic around people. Though after becoming friends with him, you'll probably notice a certain sweet air about him. He is the type to give a phone call to see how or what someone is doing or to send a letter with a gift attached to let the person know he truly does care for them. In truth, he loves doing those things but never has the person to do them for. His kindness knows no limits and will gradually grow over time as a relationship blooms with him. He also has many secrets about his past and health so befriending him becomes a very juicy expirience in the gossip area. However, if he is telling you these things he means for them to stay secrets.
<br>
<br>
If you end up going down the wrong path and become enemies with Rainier, he will most likely treat you like garbage. You may not have even done something wrong, but if you irritate him with your personality and/or actions he will probably try his best to stay away from you or just say the meanest things to you. He is not one for violence, but will use force and fight a person if they threaten him or someone he cares for. Usually it is only him cursing a person out or hurting their feelings. He says most physicaly wounds heal over time, emotional ones stay painful much longer and he knows this from experience. Now, if your his rival, meaning if you also are interested in his crush, he will be just as rude to you and try his best to make himself look like the better person around the lucky girl. Or maybe your a rival in another way? Like a contest or something. He will lower you down in front of others and do anything he could to beat you at whatever the contest is.
<br>
<br>
As for a lover or crush, you mightn otice him begin to act shyly around you. He may become clumsy and mess up his sentences by saying the wrong words or stammering. He'll get embarrassed over the simplest things and will be more vulnerable near you. His barriers will most likely be let down completely around you and his emotions will go haywire without him wanting them to. He will just be so comfortable around you that his barriers lower without him knowing. He wil show many signs of appreciation towards you and will do his best to protect you. He iwll most likely not publicly show his feelings for you or be clingy at all due to his nature.
