A lot leaner than he wants to be it's easy to mistake him as being taller than he is. He keeps in shape mostly with running but a small appetite and vegetarian diet don't add much to him. He looks like someone you could snap in half and he isn't much stronger than he looks, just fast. Sure he keeps some definition in his arms and legs, dreading the thought of adding noodle like limbs to his small frame, but he keeps mostly covered up in what he thinks of as an impeccable fashion sense of colorful or otherwise outstanding shirts, varieties of light sweaters, scarves, scarves, and more scarves. Yeah, he dresses like a hipster and he's a vegetarian music junkie, you can shut up now. What, was he supposed to be the worlds smallest jock or something?

People used to call him Pumpkin because of his orange eyes and hair, but if you call him that he'll never forgive you for it. Well, maybe if you were in a relationship with him you might get away with it, everyone else can eat s**t. He keeps his hair about chin length and messy, the kind of messy you work hard to get. On the back of his neck he's got a tattoo of the POWER ON/OFF symbol and on his left arm some fading track marks he isn't too proud of. If he spends a lot of time in the sun, especially around the summer months he develops freckles under his eyes and on his shoulders mostly. Yes, it's because he's really pale and yeah, obviously he'll sunburn pretty quickly since he's adamant about the smell of sunscreen being awful.

Boo's done some stuff and been some places he's not proud of, but he isn't regretful; he's much too stubborn for that. Too thick headed to learn lessons or sympathize with others. He gets himself into a lot of his trouble with his hot head and fickle attitude, somewhere along the line his body lost that memo saying it wasn't a teenager and needed to grow up. So here he is, annoyed moody and impulsive, worst of all is that he couldn't even tell you why. The thing that affects his mood most is music, he's constantly got his headphones jammed in his ears and whatever he's listening to is what he's thinking about and acting. Moreover he remembers moments by music, a constant soundtrack and if he wants to remember exactly what happened at any one time either five minutes or ten years ago he just needs to remember the song he was listening to. Actually, if he's not listening to anything he's more than twice as likely to forget what happened.

There's a sensitive side to him but it doesn't show; he's too antsy to stay in one place, running away from home and then skipping from town to town ever since. He doesn't stop moving and because of that he doesn't let himself find meaningful relationships. He loves getting flowers because they're sweet but they die, there's no responsibility or obligation there, and he hates photos because those are permanent and now he feels stuck with you. If you wanna hear him really go off on you then give him a sentimental photograph.

Being as restless as he is doesn't gain you a good chance of forming meaningful bonds. Well that and he's generally very poor in his people skills. Conversations are short and to the point, if you can get a full sentence in response you've either pissed him off or you're doing something right. Otherwise he's composed, talented at seeming calm and unfazed. To a point he is dangerously apathetic but he's the type to inwardly freak out while looking like nothing happened.

What gives him away is his body language; he's constantly moving or fidgeting or changing his balance, it'll probably annoy you once you notice it. Most often he'll bounce his leg when sitting or silently snap his fingers on one side or drum his fingers against his hip or whatever's the closest surface. Point it out and it'll probably just annoy him, then again most of what you do will probably annoy him so there's not much risk.

Last and very much not least is to outline impulsive once more. He doesn't really have a filter, if he wants to kiss someone he'll probably just kiss them and if he wants to tell someone off he'll do that too. It doesn't always make sense either, like throwing a perfectly good cup of coffee at the side of a building or dropping a plate just because he got the passing thought. He won't tell you why he did that, he's not going to learn anything from it, and he's not going to worry about it too much either. Worst of all it isn't very difficult to talk him into something plainly insane.

Biography
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
tab tab tab ♈

At one point or another Boo was always a problem child. For a period of time in his early years he was thought to be autistic or otherwise mentally deficient because he showed little to no response to mostly anything. He didn't show any interest in people, and even into school was very reclusive and distracted. It wasn't until he was in the school system, and even a while then, that it was looked into. This was the point in his life where he was mistaken for a genius. They had him take IQ tests and other such things and he scored far above average, which is why he strongly believes those tests are complete bullshit. He was put in a better school with harder classes and higher expectations where it wasn't long before it was realized that Boo had no place there. Rather than being smart Boo just had an eye for detail and a clearer memory than most people...but was extremely anti-social and unfocused.

He was put back into the average classes with the average kids where he continued to excel while at the same time closing in on himself even more. It's when he got immersed in his music that the world lost him. In school he would hide earphones under his hair and scarves and shirts at home he would expand his ever growing library of music.

The music had effects on his temperament that some people found troubling. Not only did it seem that nobody could get the adolescents' attention but when they did his moods were fickle and most likely extreme. It depended on what he was listening to and where he was, obviously at school he was always irritated but he was much easier if he was listening to something softer or pop based than if he was listening to something fast paced. But his memory improved even more, he could recall and event down to the smallest details if he flipped to the song he was listening to at the time, and he could always remember what he was listening to. Like a switch he could relive what he saw and heard and felt with incredible clarity.

Which helped him hold grudges and pinpoint everything that was wrong with wherever he was. When he graduated high school a year early he ran away from home, not days after but that very night. That first jump was messy, he took the bus and he wasn't sure how far he needed to go so he took several buses and then a taxi since he saw it and it just seemed appropriate. He ran out of money quickly and wasn't good at stealing or managing much on his own.

Then he met Koen. He had bright red hair and a sharp tongue and really had no interest in knowing much of anything about Boo or sharing anything about himself, which suited the pumpkin head perfectly. Koen taught Boo how to steal by acting casual and how to get into places you weren't supposed to be by acting confident. Koens song was Otherside because it was playing when he had been talking about causing trouble as a duty; that it was their responsibility to stir the pot to stop life from being so boring that the normal people cracked. "Children play games and when they grow up they forget to have fun. It's our role to make them come out and play." Something about that moment and the rain and they way he looked made Boo think that was a very right moment for Koen, like a favorite scene in a movie in a way he couldn't describe.

Eventually though Boo got restless and he couldn't say why but he felt the growing itch to get out. So he ran away from Koen too, hopping on the back of a train because that just seemed like the kind of thing he 'ought to do. Which is a little before he went from Arizona to Mexico and through a long string of other events - which included learning good Spanish - to South America where he met Lois who was charismatic and didn't ask too many questions either. Lois who also pulled Boo into much worse things than Koen did, most regrettably heroin.

It was probably the only point in his life where he didn't like how impulsive or easily swayed he was. More importantly it's something he refuses to talk about, not that he hated the whole of it.

After South America he went a little north again and decided to really clean up. So he got a job, until he could afford to drop the job and take a one way trip to try Europe on for size. From that point on he started a trend of picking up temp jobs and inns and other people and languages until he got restless again and left them as fast as he had come. There were some places he stayed longer than others, a town in Luxembourg was very nearly home while anywhere in France was little more than a two week trip. Wherever he stayed longer he would pick up classes in community colleges based on what piqued his curiosity.

The last thing that piqued his interest was an internship abroad he had stumbled upon more than looked for. Well, since housing was supplied he figured it fit him perfectly.
