basics: he's 27, from dallas and has lived in austin for 7 years. he's a writer who writes and edits classroom textbooks but in his free time writes short stories. he's a shy person who is really awkward and neurotic. he's often second guessing himself and saying things because he doesn't always catch on to social cues. he's earnest though and wants everyone to be his friend so much that he often worries too much about what people think about him. he lived with his father growing up and was emancipated at 16. his father was drunk and abusive and he eventually made his own way and got out of it. his relationship with his mom, who still lives in dallas, is complicated but they see each other enough and communicate. he really has a bad luck fairy around him. he seems to always seem to break things just by touching them, for example multiple times he's gone to open doors and the door knob will just come off in his hand, etc.
