THE INSIDE
Full Name: Doctor Harley Silas
Nickname: Affectionately called Doc by most people
Age: 47
Sex: Male
Nationality: Indian
Current Location: Spain, near the coast.
Affiliation: None, Harley works as a psychologist, his main areas of focus are veterans and children.
Personality:
Patient, Calm, Gentle, Giving
Harley is a perfect match for his job, destined from the start to helping people, he has the patience of a saint, and nothing ever seems to rile or frustrate the man. Years of helping people cope and better themselves has given him the ability to handle even the most closed off or belligerent patient with the same grace and relaxation that he always has, you can slap, punch, or bite him, and he will remain firm and sure. He also has a very calming nature, soft spoken and well mannered, and none of his words seem to sound phoned in, he speaks with the same calm, level headed sureness that just radiates honesty. He refuses to say words he doesn't believe himself, and he has jokingly been called the 'pep-talk master'. Harley has a capacity for gentility and kindness that give him an impeccable bedside manner, he is a genuinely good person, but no one is perfect.
Detached, Overly-critical, Pushover, Condescending
Despite his warm nature, there is sometimes a clear detachment between Harley and his patients, not out of any ill-intent, but spending so long in a profession where he has to be detached has made it difficult for him to shut that side of his brain off, leading him to keeping people at arms length without intending to do so, he has chased off several potential love interests because when it came time to be intimate, he seemed distant from it without intending to. He also has a habit of analyzing people around him subconsciously, and people have told him that he often stares at them in a way that is mildly upsetting, like he's reading into their every movement and nuance, and really he is unintentionally doing that. For the most part this stays within his mind, but sometimes he will make comments or remarks about people that can be off putting or upsetting, he never means to offend or hurt, but it ends up happening more often than he would like. He can sometimes be a push over as well, allowing people to take advantage of him without realizing he's doing it, he is endlessly giving, and this can sometimes take a toll on him, as he gives and gives himself ragged and tired, he neglects his own well being at times. One of his worst habits is his tendency to be condescending without ever really meaning to, using far to many technical terms to explain a concept and leaving the person he's speaking to in the dust, he means well when he corrects his speech to a simpler form, but it often gets taken as a 'I know more therefore I'm better' outlook.
History:
-WIP-
THE OUTSIDE
Overall Appearance: Very tall with a fairly fit body, definitely noticeable in his tighter clothes, his face is handsome, with a prominent nose and solid jawline, and somewhat thick, expressive black eyebrows. His skin is a smooth tan, with just a hint of stubble that trails down into a goatee that is kept in an attractive beaded braid.
Height: 6'3
Hair Color/Style: Black and medium length, impossibly curly and frizzy.
Eye Color: A very rich brownish gold.
Attire: When he's not dressing professional in vests and slacks, he tends to dress casual, jeans and tank tops, usually with some sort of over shirt. He tends to be very conscious of matching, you wont find many fashion faux pas in his wardrobe.
Weapon: He carries a simple handgun for his own protection, but would only use it as an absolute last resort. He's more than capable of defending himself with his fists usually.
