Body and Appearance
1. Describe the character's height and build. Is he heavyset, thin, short, rangy?
Cross is about 5'5 in height. His build would be considered lithe. He could be considered muscular in the sense of a runner's build, he's built for speed not power.
2. How old is he?
He's currently fifteen
3. Describe his posture. Does he carry himself well or does he slouch?
He carries himself very loosely. He doesn't slouch but he's never standing straight or at attention. He stands very relaxed but aware.
4. How is his health? Is he fit or out of shape? Any illnesses or conditions? Any physical disabilities?
He's in good health, he trains every day so he's in great shape for his age. As for disabilities, he's missing his right arm which has been replaced with a mechanical arm. So yeah, kind of disabled if he loses that.
5. How does he move? Is he clumsy, graceful, tense, fluid?
He's fluid in his movements when he fights. He's quick and he's unnaturally graceful for a person, if only because he's had so much training in acrobatics. However, when not fighting he can be a bit of Klutz or when he needs to suddenly stop he tends to lose his balance easily.
6. How attractive is this character physically? How does he perceive himself in the mirror?
Well, obviously being drawn in an anime/disney style he'd be considered fairly good looking. However, he's not one for appearances so he doesn't exactly have the presence of mind to care how he looks when he see's himself in a mirror.
7. Describe his complexion. Dark, light, clear, scarred?
Cross is tanned but that's only because he's out so much. When in the winter months or there's little sun, he could be considered fair of skin. Like most teenagers he can get acne but it's very far and inbetween.
8. Describe his hair: color, texture, style.
His hair is a light brown which tends to have a messy but straight look to it. It's usually sticking up in all ends. His hair usually is messy and points to the right most of the time.
9. What color are his eyes?
Boring brown.
10. Does the character have any other noteworthy features?
His metal right arm is the feature that would stick out the most. Other than that, he's pretty average looking.
11. What are his chief tension centers?
Cross puts a lot of strain on his legs and arms. He trains to be fast and swift so there's a lot of stress he puts on his legs. With his arms he needs one to keep one arm strong enough to be able to move around the prosthetic he has one arm, and the other one is just not to make himself look off balance.
12. What is the character's wardrobe like? Casual, dressy, utilitarian? Bright colors, pastels, neutrals? Is it varied, or does he have six of the same suit?
For every day where it's pretty casual. It's mixed with bright colors and neutrals. He does have a variety of clothing however, but not that he cares. The only thing in his wardrobe that would stand out is his battle armor which takes on dark colours or neutrals.
13. Do his clothes fit well? Does he seem comfortable in them?
He wears what makes him comfortable but his clothes fit his shape.
14. Does he dress the same on the job as he does in his free time? If not, what are the differences?
When he's out fighting crime it's different. He's wearing a bunch of armor and more closer fitting clothes to better his movement and to avoid things catching. His armor is usually black with shades of blue thrown in there.
15. You knew it was coming: Boxers, briefs or commando?

7. Is he eloquent or inarticulate? Under what circumstances might this change?
He's not exactly either. He doesn't have problems talking or expressing himself so perhaps he's more eloquent. But, sometimes he can become inarticulate when people essentially destroy his logic and he can't find an argument.

7. Describe the character's temperament. Is he even-tempered or does he have mood swings? Cheerful or melancholy? Laid-back or driven?
He's even tempered most of the time, but he can be subject to violent rants and outbursts when his ideals are taken into question. Most of the time he's cheerful, putting on a happy face but that's usually a front and is easily prone to depression. He does have drive though, he wants to accomplish his goals and he won't sit back from them to come to him.
8. How does he respond to new people or situations? Is he suspicious, relaxed, timid, enthusiastic?
He's enthusiastic. He always likes to meet new people, especially if it means they will like him in return. After all, when people like you, they give you lots of attention, right?

9. Is he more likely to act, or to react?
Either or. But in most times he will act. He wants change and wants to help others be good, he can't do that if he's not willing to take the first stuff when others don't.

Fight, definitely fight.
11. Describe the character's sense of humor. Does he appreciate jokes? Puns? Gallows humor? Bathroom humor? Pranks?
His sense of humour, while good, is not exactly adult like. He doesn't understand any type of sexual joke or pun given to him as it often flys over his head. But, Cross is easily capable of making fun of himself without much thought. He can take a joke at his expense and even laugh along with it too. Cross will sometimes tease others if only mildly and not to the point of upsetting them.
12. Does the character have any diagnosable mental disorders? If yes, how does he deal with them?
None really.
13. What moments in this character's life have defined him as a person?
-His father ignoring him the majority of his life made him seek out attention through heroics.
-Watching his brother excel constantly through his life, made Cross want to also stand out with his own abilities.
14. What does he fear?
That he's going to be a nameless person in a crowd of people. He fears that he's going to be alone the rest of his life without a friend or someone to look to him and praise him. Cross very much wants attention and if he doesn't get it he's afraid he'll end up being alone forever.
15. What are his hopes or aspirations?
On the surface, his biggest hope is for everyone to get along and be happy together and there no longer having to be anymore fighting. But, internally, he just wants his father to give him that attention and praise he always hungered for. Cross just wants to feel the love of a parent that he grew up without.
16. What is something he doesn't want anyone to find out about him?
Cross is deathly afraid of others finding out that he's not being a hero for the right reasons. He only wanted to be one so others would look up to him and praise him. He feels that if someone found out that out he would be thrown away and left alone for the rest of his life.


Relationships
1. Describe this character's relationship with his parents.
Cross didn't know his mother since she left him and his brother at a young age. His father, however, is a whole different story. It's not a story of outright abuse or a ragey father that he hates. It's way more complicated than that. He grew up, his physical needs being taken care of, but none of the emotional ones being satisfied. His father outright ignored him, literally. Everytime Cross went to speak with his dad, his father never would respond. He would always come home to silence if he ever wanted to talk to his dad. So, in the end he's met with a lot of unmet attention and love that he sorely wants but won't have, which leads Cross to trying to be a big damn hero so his dad would actually look at him and say something.
2. Does the character have any siblings? What is/was their relationship like?
His only brother is his best friend. Literally, without Crown in his life, Cross would have been a big puddle of emo. They are as close as brothers can be since they grew up together being the only ones that really loved one another. Cross idealizes his brother as being the kind of person everyone would want to be and look up to. So, he's very jealous but very awestruck by his brother, Crown.
3. Are there other blood relatives to whom he is close? Are there ones he can't stand?
Cross isn't really close to anyone else in his family. There's no one he outwardly hates, but he does seek for love and recognition from his father who constantly denies him any form of affection.
4. Are there other, unrelated people whom he considers part of his family? What are his relationships with them?
None really. He never made many friends back home and while the maids looked after him he didn't form a very close bond with anyone.
5. Who is/was the character's best friend? How did they meet?
Cross never had many friends growing up. The best one he probably made was a puppy he found on the streets when he was about 8 and that he would take care of in an abandoned shed in the back of his school. He ended up losing the puppy though when a teacher found it in the shed.
6. Does he have other close friends?
No.
7. Does he make friends easily, or does he have trouble getting along with people?
He attempts to make friends, but usually when your as happy an optimistic as he is with a set of strange hobbies to boot, people tend to find you weird. He gets along with others fine, it's just the fact that he's kind of a weirdo.
8. Which does he consider more important: family or friends?
Family. They're the ones that are always with you through anything, but that could be subject to change.

14. Does he have any rivals or enemies?
The enemies he has are probably the criminals he beats up on the streets.
15. What is the character's sexual orientation? Where does he fall on the Kinsey scale?
While icly he would look completely confused by being asked this, oocly if he were to grow more mentally mature and aware of such things he'd probably be okay with either gender.
