first name ➳ taylor.
[size=13px]↳[/size] tay-ler; surname derived from the anglo-french taillour (tailor).
middle name ➳ alexander.
[size=13px]↳[/size] al-ik-zan-der; a compound greek word name which means defender or helper of mankind.
last name ➳ york.
[size=13px]↳[/size] york; an english surname.
gender ➳ male.
[size=13px]↳[/size] sexuality: heterosexual.
age ➳ twenty-five years.
[size=13px]↳[/size] birthday: december second.
[size=13px]↳[/size] birthplace: sandusky, ohio.

hair color ➳ brunette.
[size=13px]↳[/size] taylor's hair is a rich chocolate color and rather wavy, though when it is particularly unruly one can imagine it used to be very curly when he was younger. there aren't too many times that taylor styles his hair in a way that looks stylish; rather he places it somewhere in that category of messy and just-rolled-out-of-bed look. some might consider it charming or sexy, but all taylor really cares about is the fact that it doesn't take too much work to do but still allows him to look like he isn't sinking under.
eye color ➳ blue.
[size=13px]↳[/size] taylor's eyes are a pretty shade of blue - light near the middle but circling out to darker around the edges - and seem like they don't belong in a mental hospital. perhaps, rather, they belong on the face of some rich man with a fancy car and too many ladies to pick from. alas, taylor didn't get that end of the stick in life and instead has a pair of perfectly-shaped eyes. however, when it comes down to during one of taylor's episodes, those sky blue eyes turn into the raging depths of a stormy sea.
height ➳ five feet, eleven inches.
weight ➳ one hundred and fifty pounds.
build ➳ tall, but gangly.
[size=13px]↳[/size] overall, taylor's build isn't too shabby. he could definitely use some fine-tuning and a bit more muscle across the board, but he doesn't have a sickly look or a poor build. in fact, perhaps if he were living in better days, taylor might've once been looking very in-shape with a stature that could easily impress. unfortunately such situations are hard to come by in taylor's life and he didn't end up in such an event. rather, he is tall and lankly-built, with a gangly look to his figure as if he's still just getting out of the teen years. he's in no way a bodybuilder, but there are still strong, natural muscles sewn into his frame that give him a slightly more buff look than many of the average guys in the hospital.
body modifications ➳ one tattoo.
[size=13px]↳[/size] [color=darkgray]click - the chinese symbol for 'anger' to symbolize his illness, which is located on the nape of his neck. it's small, but significant.
clothing ➳ casual.
[size=13px]↳[/size] [color=darkgray]click, [color=darkgray]click, [color=darkgray]click.
face-claim ➳ aaron taylor johnson.

positive traits ➳ protective, caring, gentlemanly, respectful.
[size=13px]↳[/size] protective: it can be said that taylor is protective. he's been in wickery hollow for a long time and because of this he has grown particularly close to his three other friends. if anything were to happen to any of them, taylor doesn't know what he'd do. he protects them with his life and is, perhaps, the bodyguard of the four of them. if someone were to abuse any one of his friends, one should always know that when they mess with one, they mess with taylor too. even outside of his four friends, if anyone were to hurt someone he might enjoy spending time around, a smack-down is sure to ensue.
[size=13px]↳[/size] caring: when taylor is not being protective, he's being caring. when he's not having an episode he's rather empathetic, taking care to tread lightly when it comes to explosive personalities. he knows first-hand what happens when someone suddenly gets mad and so he knows how to be careful and caring at the same time. if anyone were feeling bad, you'd be sure to find taylor there trying to figure out why and solve the issue. although he goes about it in a somewhat serious manner, his ways of cheering someone up involve trying to make them laugh or even smile.
[size=13px]↳[/size] gentlemanly: if there comes a time when a woman needs to undress in his presence, taylor would be the one to turn around and never glimpse back until she is fully clothed again. perhaps old-fashioned (he did, after all, come into wickery hollow at a young age when it was still appropriate to pick up your date at the front door and open the car door and give her flowers and ask for permission before doing anything sexual) in his mannerisms, taylor is normally well-behaved.
[size=13px]↳[/size] respectful: just as taylor is gentlemanly, he is also respectful. he's always willing to respect someone's boundaries unless there is a dire situation. he doesn't try to pressure anyone into really doing anything, despite how much he occasionally wishes to, and he's capable of restraining himself well, with a strength that comes with practicing such things over the course of many years. it often becomes difficult and tiring to resist the episodes, but given the strength of taylor's positive personality traits he is normally able to ride it through with minimal damage. this is both due to his respectfulness and urge to be a better person.
negative traits ➳ manipulative, masochistic, violent, vengeful.
[size=13px]↳[/size] manipulative: when it comes down to it, taylor is very good (too good) at getting what he wants. with a charming and suave outer appearance, it isn't hard to turn up the levels of his facial features and gentlemanly behaviors in order to get what he desires. whether it's something for good or bad, usually only he knows.
[size=13px]↳[/size] masochistic: in taylor's own mind he will only reveal his pleasure in destruction. whether it is destructing himself or someone else or simply an object, he loves it. when taylor got his tattoo on the back of his neck, he found a sheer exuberance to feeling to pricking of the needle. when taylor knows the proper time (since he has mastered the routine of wickery hollows) he will often inflict harm on himself, small enough that it will heal before anyone can see but severe enough to feel the pain. just as well, he internally enjoys the sight of someone writhing around like a squirming worm, although he would rarely admit these things aloud.
[size=13px]↳[/size] violent: it goes without saying that taylor can be very violent. his mental illness is part of the reason, but it also comes from his own personality. perhaps being locked up so long has caused him such violence and rage, or perhaps it is because of other experiences he won't mention. whatever the reason, taylor can easily work himself up into such a state of mind it can take hours - even a few days - to calm himself down. during these points he is nearly inconsolable, so fierce and angry that anyone who tries to get near him runs the risk of getting severely injured in the process.
[size=13px]↳[/size] vengeful: perhaps due to his protectiveness over his friends, taylor can be vengeful. if anyone tries to hurt him or someone he cares about, they must know there is a price that will be paid eventually. taylor doesn't allow anyone to touch a harmful finger on his friends without getting payback, in its many forms, and he will continue to do so to the best of his ability until he's tied down or sedated. his violence often comes into play when he turns vengeful, as well as his masochistic side. it is easy for him to hold grudges and form them easily, which can often make him a very testy person to talk to if you manage to get on his bad side.
likes ➳ baking, fall, motorcycles, old movies.
dislikes ➳ wickery hollow, summer, airplanes, pop music.
mental illness ➳ explosive violence.

history ➳ taylor was born into a family that wasn't altogether rich, but overall was held together by their closeness and love for each other. his family owned a business affectionately called "york's bakery" which sold a wide variety of baking items. from pastries to bread to crusts, his family made it all. their little shop in sandusky, ohio was well-known, especially considering the fact their baking was very good and they also delivered. taylor's birth proved to be an exciting moment for the tight-knit family. he grew up in a loving environment, surrounded by a large multitude of relatives who all lived nearby.

however, when taylor got into high school things began to change. despite the love his family provided him, school was biting his butt and causing him to react in ways no normal teen would. if he didn't understand a problem to a question, he might explode during the class, raging and throwing his papers and yelling words no one could understand before slapping a student nearest him and storming out of the school. of course this earned him many detentions, suspensions, and time to think about his actions. even outside of school, however, taylor would react in the same ways. there were little things that triggered him, but often there was nothing at all.

with his actions, it didn't take long for wickery hollow to find him. when he was only sixteen years old he was forced to move into the mental institution, where he spent the rest of his life so far. nine years later and he's still in the hospital, almost rounding an entire decade of trying to control his anger and violence.
