[FRIEND OF SAMMY HERE. Hope you don't mind the fact that that personality is really tl;dr. I just made this character for another Pokemon roleplay forum so all I did was copy his personality from that since he's my new main character. :I Hope you don't mind me]
Full Name: Elias Griffin
Age: 23
Gender: Male
Species/Physical Appearance: Elias is just your average, every day human being. He's not special or anything and he may have a pretty face, but he's not too outstanding. The boy has messy brown hair with a light brown fedora resting softly amongst it. Brand new bandages are wrapped around his head from a recent injury, but they have grown loose and fallen below his eye given him a rather distinct look. His face isn't very sharp for a 23 year old male, but that's due to the fact that despite the amount of sports he does, Elias doesn't exercise much. He stands about 5 feet and nine inches and weighs just one hundred and thirty three pounds. He's got an average build for someone who use to partake in buildering. You can normally find him wearing a dress shirt and a casual pair of pants. His eyes are a nice shade of auburn with perfect 20/20 eyesight.
Personality: You would never have expected that Elias, being the injury-prone human he is, was once a professional assassin working for a rather well-known group of street rats in Castelia City. At least, considering how much of a klutz he is these days, constantly injuring himself in one way or another. That should be expected considering he's the guy who's the first to take up the dares and always pushing himself past his limits. It's completely unlike the agile and skillful teenager he once was. It's a shock that he hasn't yet suffered from brain damage due to the amount of times he's banged his head on one thing or another.
Ever since Elias was a kid he's never liked reading, or anything like it for that matter and he's always had an odd distaste for poem. Due to the fact that Elias only attended school up to the age of ten, that's the extent of his history knowledge and math. When it comes to writing, though, Elias was trained to forge signatures and he can pass quite a few different writing styles. He's never liked having to read back over his work, though and would rather play videos, preferably shooters or racers.
Elias is quite the looker, the kind of person that you would expect to attract all the girls. No, instead he somehow manages to attract guys whenever he attends bars. Elias has always had a hard time with holding a relationship and whenever he manages to end up in one he has such a difficult time ending them when he no longer feels love for his girlfriend. Due to this he can sometimes be accused as being a heart breaker. Not only that, but he's become rather skittish around women, in the terms of uncomfortable whenever he senses one of them flirting with him, the same goes for men. On the other case, if you can manage to get him drunk, something he's long since given up since his days as a rebel, then he will go along with both the men and women.
If there's one thing that Elias can say he loves the most, it's buildering. It was a bit of a fun skill Elias picked up during his life as an assassin, but even though Elias has made an attempt to put all those memories behind him this is one thing he's stuck with. The young adult feels much more at home scaling the sides of buildings than walking along the ground. During his days as a part of the gang, they had two choices, parkour or buildering. A majority of Elias' companions picked parkour, but Elias wanted something different and decided to go with buildering. His mentor taught him how to climb up the sides of buildings (nothing like pure glass ones, but more of the ones with rocks and such jutting out). He started out having to use ropes and cords to help him out, but eventually he didn't even need those and could skillfully scale the sides of them.
Life on the streets was extremely rough for Elias, even after he finally found a place he could live somewhat safely in. When Elias was a kid, his mentor told him to never have friends, so thus Elias lived a rather lonely childhood. He never knew his mother, nor his father, and hated people who would talk about their family. The brown-haired adult has also had a distaste for rich people who would always complain about everything. He normally laughs off their complaints or just changes the subject, but since he's rarely had anything in his entire life it makes him rather uncomfortable.
Around his friends, Elias is quite talkative. He's the guy who can hold a conversation and always manages to have something to talk about. He can sometimes say a little too much, but he means well and likes making people laugh. He learned a lot from the cocky moments of his past, and since then he's more laidback about battles and such. Unfortunately, Elias absolutely sucks at giving advice as he can never seem to keep a deadpan nature. The young adult will try to be supportive, but he normally overanalizes the situation and thinks he knows more about what's going on then he actually does. Since he's not too good with handling the negative emotions of others, though his joking nature may make him come off as inconsiderate it's really just his way of trying to cheer them up. It's just a cover-up for the fact that Elias, himself, hates showing depressing emotions and he sometimes worries that if he gives it to others he'll show a side of himself that he doesn't want others to see.
Now nobody who is an ex-killer is without their little quirks. When it comes to death, although Elias tries to be sympathetic since he knows it's a sensitive subject, but he's experienced plenty of death and has grown numb to the subject. Although he changed much of his personality to oppose lots of what he use to do, he couldn't change the fact that he doesn't feel anything when other people die.
Anything Else: He's an ex-assassin who use to work for a guild called GHOST. He left the guild when he was twenty after his heart was broken by a girl. Kenzie (Kennie) is a girl from another guild that he later fell in love with and he has a strong attachment to her.

There was a thud, then the sound of metal clanging against itself as a body found itself thrown into a clutter of paint cans placed against the wall. The adult male was dazed for a second as he gathered up his bearings, but he was quick to get back on his feet and curse.
"****. What the hell was that?!" He lifted a bruised hand to rub his throbbing skull, pain seeming to radiate from every crevice of his body. His beady brown eyes hopped from one corner of the room to another as he identified his new surroundings, trying to pinpoint just what happened. The basement he found himself staggering about seemed to have been occupied by a number of people in the more recent hours of his arrival, but that was merely the least of his worries.
"I could have sworn I was with just with Kennie and then...Oh whatever, might as well check this place out." Elias then found himself trudging up the shadowed staircase and into a bustling group of people. Most noticeable was a girl, probably around the age of 17, impatiently pacing along the floor of the bar. Her appearance reminded him somewhat of Kennie, so she was his first target, a soft smile playing across his lips as he made his way over to her and greeted himself with a simple wave.
"Hey you." Not the nicest of introductions, but then again Elias was known more for his joking nature than being polite.
"Mind telling me just where I am?"
