I'd like to give this a shot if that's ok.
Here's my character if you'll have me:
Name: Jake Hammo
Age: 23
Gender: Male
Occupation: Pro Soccer Player
Looks: Thin semi-muscular build, Straight Dark Brown hair, Black Denim Pants, Dark Brown T-Shirt, Forest Green Hoodie, natural tan skin except for his underside of his arms, Running Shoes.
Items: Cell Phone, iPod, $29 (lost his wallet when jogging one day).
Skills: Jake is athletic so naturally he'd be a decent fighter. He has some martial arts training but he was injured in a soccer game and had to stop. He is a decent chef and knows a little bit about herbs and what is safe to eat.
Personality: Jake is very social around people he knows well but rather distant around strangers. He has a realistic attitude (sees things how they are, depending on the situation he is optomistic or pesomistic), he has a humble personality, he doesn't brag or boast very often and he likes to help people.
Background: Jake has a brother and sister but they had a different father. He didn't live with them so you could say he is an only child. He grew up peacefully and became a proffessional athlete. One day him and his family were having a family reunion at O'Brian's Pub when the riots started. They thought people were just angry because the cubs won but then things got more violent. There were murders and people were acting strange. He had his family and him go down into O'Brian's Cellar.
Others: As a child he was anxious and often confused. As he grew he got over his fears and became happy with his life.
Hope this alright!
EDIT: Is this good now?
