[D4] Vale Welding {WIP}

By the seashore is a young man. His eyes are blue-grey and his hair is like the sand: brown and coarse. He doesn't wear a smile. But he doesn't look sad.

His skin is tan and his face is often blank in thought, looking towards you but not at you.

If he's not shirtless on the beach, he wears a thin tee shirt, in one of many colours. It is tight stretched across his chest revealing his muscular figure. He walks without shoes and his feet are hard and calloused because of it. His large hands are also thick-skinned, but deft and nimble nonetheless.

He is tall as well; 6'4" and well built. He has a necklace around his neck, with various pieces of scrap and small trinkets strung upon it.

A smart lad, he gets good grades in his classes. He talks to girls as much as he can, but he never gets too attached to any person. At least, no one his own age. Sure, he's on friendly terms with most people. But he doesn't have any close friends because he knows they could get reaped next.

Of course, he knows it to be true of himself as well. But you can't get unattached from yourself. So, he tries to avoid making close friends. Not that it couldn't happen of course, but he avoids it. He spends long times alone, on the beach or in the water. He likes to dig. To find things. Old things especially; he likes history.

Despite his muscular figure and good looks, he doesn't have an ego. In fact, he has low self-esteem, considering himself odd, and, despite his aversion to attachment, still feels like he should try to make friends. He feels more comfortable among adults than those his own age; he feels he is more mature than them.

He suffers from vices as well. His father introduced smoking to him, and he smokes often enough. He doesn't get addicted to anything though. Self-doubt plagues him. He often asks himself "Am I doing the right thing?" He never feels as if he is doing enough for himself and for others, and often feels bored with his daily routine. However, he never goes through the effort to change it.
