PAXTON HEY THERE, THEY CALL ME SY AND I'M CURRENTLY THIRTY-FOUR YEARS OLD. I'M A CITIZEN AND I'M HETEROSEXUAL. ------------------------------------------------- 1.) Computer Genius 2.) X-Files style geek 3.) College Professor 4.) Witty, clever Simon makes a living as an English Lit. professor at the University of Chicago, and he has on occasion substituted for the Psych professor. He also has a side business programming security software for people's PCs. He has an above-average IQ, pretty much genius level, and as far as he's concerned, it's given him nothing but grief. His exceptional intelligence first started to show itself in his toddler years, but it wasn't until he was twelve that his parents took him to a child psychologist to be tested. When his father realized Simon's potential, he saw a bright future for his boy, and deep down, Simon knows that everything Richard did, he did so Simon could have a good life. But bullying and pressuring a young boy on the cusp of adulthood is not the way to win his affection, and Simon was never really interested in any of the things his father wanted for him. His relationship with his father grew somewhat strained, though not as much so as one might expect; they could spend a lot of time together, but they could never discuss Simon's work. Despite that, Simon was much closer to his father than he was to his mother, because Janice suffered from an early-onset of Alzheimer's, and most of the time hardly remembered who Simon was. It hurt, but she been losing her memory since he was seven, and he quickly adapted and accepted it. He and his father took care of Janice for years, and even after Simon moved out, he found an apartment only ten minutes away from his parents' house, and he visited frequently, and often stayed over, to help his father. His father suffered a heart attack recently, and, worried that it might happen again and kill him, ultimately decided to move his wife into a care home. Simon insisted his father move into an apartment closer to hi mother's new home, because it was close to a hospital, and Simon worried about Richard's health. Sy had always had friends, from childhood to high school, to university and afterward, he'd always had a small group of friends, and a larger pool of friendly and neutral acquaintances, as do most people. He enjoys spending time with his friends, going out to a bar for a few drinks or whatever it is they decide to do. He's not particularly interested in romance right now, he hasn't got the time or the inclination to go looking for love. With his friends he's easy-going, a little bit cheeky and quick to laugh, either at something you said or the fact that you just fell off your barstool. At his jobs he's no nonsense; at school he tolerates zero disrespect from his students, though he welcomes friendly, good-natured ribbing, and isn't averse to a prank or two, in good fun. When he's doing his computer programming, he usually goes to his clients' homes, and he tries to maintain a completely professional manner. Something that should be noted about Simon, is that he's a geek. He loves everything, from Star Trek and Doctor Who to Merlin and Lord of the Rings, and he's not just a geek, he's also something of an alien hunter. He does it in his spare time, as a sort of hobby, but he really believes aliens are among us, and he's determined to find them. ------------------------------------------------- THE PERSON BEHIND THIS WONDERFUL CHARACTER IS GENERALLY CALLED CRICKET AND SITS AT OLDER THAN THIRTEEN. HE LIVES IN THE MOUNTAIN TIMEZONE. ALSO, THIS CHARACTER LOOKS PRETTY SIMILAR TO BURN GORMAN, DON'T YOU THINK?
