APPEARANCE:

"You could see me stand on my own again
Because now I can see"

What does Autumn look like? Hmm well let’s see. He is on the shorter side standing at about 5’8”, most boys his age are at least a little bit taller than him. Having a medium build he weighs in at 155lb. Autumn probably weighed more when he was a career and had more bulk. Now that he’s a has-been he’s lost some of his muscle tone, but is not scrawny by any means. Lean muscle runs all along his frame, especially highlighted in his arms and legs, as well as his abdominals. Autumn has a compact build to go with his shorter height. The length of his limbs in comparison to the rest of him almost gives the impression of an awkward crane. Often finding himself looking up at others he doesn’t really mind his size. His skin is a mild tan, not overly dark but surely not pallid either.

Atop his head sits a mess of sandy blond hair reaching down to the very top of his higher set cheek bones. The hair is actually a few different shades, ranging from an almost platinum blond to a dirty blond that almost looks brown at times. It usually lies fairly flat, but from time to time it gets a wavy texture to it. This is especially true after vigorous exercise or in excessive humidity. His almond shaped eyes are a medium shade of blue. They lighten in color with a spark when he’s happy or on his valium and darken to a stormy color when he’s angry. Blonde eyebrows are of medium thickness although the left one is ever so slightly higher than the right. His face is somewhat angular, but not overly sharp. Despite hardships he’s endured he still has a look of youth about him. Although when he has overdosed on his pill of choice his eyes seem to glaze over and give the appearance of an older hardened addict.

His hands are callused from years of wasted career training. The right index finger is not perfectly straight as it was broken in training when he was seventeen years old. There isn’t much you can do to reset a break in the finger so it’s a little crooked. His fingernails are cracked at the ends from nervous habits like grinding them against concrete stoops in District One when his companions are frustrating him with their carelessness (namely Ender). A strange fact about Autumn is he doesn’t really like his knees. He feels like they look funny, but no one else seems to pick up on what he’s seeing, he can’t even specify what he doesn’t like about them. Autumn doesn’t find himself attractive, but could name a couple men he thinks are. And maybe a few women, maybe.

Overall Autumn is a pretty average looking guy, he doesn’t stand out as drop dead gorgeous, but he’s not a bad sight to see either. He never did have his brother Jaden’s pretty boy appearance, or Chris’s massive build. Too normal to be the excellent career his parents wanted.



PERSONALITY:

"Locked inside of me so deep
It always seems to get to me"

Autumn has been appointed as the unofficial mother hen of the group. He feels like there is no one else to look after them and there have been many times where they can’t count on Ender. Oh how that boy could frustrate him. Every time one of the boys is sick or hurts himself he takes it upon himself to see that they are taken care of to the best of his abilities. He never brags or really brings it up, but it is his family that keeps them afloat. His sense of responsibility is far greater than most nineteen year olds. Autumn is never one to leave his boys hanging or scoot out on obligations. If he was entrusted to do something, he’ll always find a way to get it done. His brothers are his first priority, but he tries not to let them know just how much he cares for fear of coming off as sappy or soft. Autumn always makes sure he is there whenever Ender needs him for whatever reason. That is his job right? Who else would take him on when he made the decision to run away from home…

There are some with short fuses who will go off quickly and explosively, Autumn is on the other end of the spectrum. He is laid back and easy going when it comes to just about anything although the valium may help with that. Almost seeming passive at times you could tell him your house is burning down and he’d be the one to remain calm and collected. His guitar is one of his best friends. When tension does creep up on him a good song makes it better. The sounds of the notes freeing themselves from his instrument are like a drug to him. His love of music far surpasses his love of violence. Perhaps this is why his career trainer was always so upset with him? His relaxed nature may make him seem almost lazy but this is not the case. He only allows himself to truly be at leisure when he knows his boys are all taken care of, which is never an easy task. For the most part he is cooperative and prefers compromise to strife although there are a select few things he refuses to bend on.

Coming from a rich family he has been schooled in proper manners and taught to be polite, not that the other boys really appreciate this. Manners aren’t exactly something you need in their situation. His devotion to the group is unwavering. Autumn is forgiving toward those close to him; he is willing to look past old mistakes. There are times when Autumn seems to suck back into himself becoming almost unresponsive. This is the time when the pills come out to ease any pain. In that moment before he feels the need to load up on his drug of choice he’s distant and aloof, a sign that he’s lost in thought about his old life. His generosity to the other boys stretches beyond using his money to buy them food and clothing; he’ll happily sit down with them and let them talk at him for hours. He’s much better at listening than he is at talking about himself. His maturity surpasses most teens, when you choose to throw away your sheltered life you have to grow up fast. Autumn is tolerant of most of his companions’ habits and addictions, but he often wishes they wouldn’t harm themselves in the way some of them do. He finds himself biting his tongue when Ender pulls out the ecstasy, trying not to be hypocritical having his own secret addiction.

Autumn has always had a hard time with his own emotions but he is able to show a certain kindness to his boys. One thing you can always count on is his sincerity. If he says it he means it, one never has to doubt that. He has an air of independence despite the fact he couldn’t see himself without his strange little family. After all, he did take care of himself before he joined Ender. Autumn has developed a phobia of abandonment from what happened when his family life fell apart, sometimes he has a hard time trusting others. Although he is mostly happy to just chill, there are times when a perfect mixture of valium and the influence of the others convinces him to get a little wild.
