 THE BASICS
Name: Sawyer Madison
Nickname: Fix
Age: 19
Birthday: May 28
Sign: Gemini
Gemstone: Emerald
Blood Type: B
Fav. Food: Anything crunchy
Hated Food: Anything spicy
School: Hillworth Grammar School (graduated); due both to his being in and out of foster homes and to his general delinquency, especially shoplifting. He put in the minimum effort to eke through to graduation.HOBBIES
Fashion Chameleon: - Sawyer has a vast and completely eclectic wardrobe, predominantly assembled in thrift stores, but gathered up (cough cough) from department stores as well. He derives pleasure from assembling ensembles to blend into any given group, but left to his own devices happily piles on things at random, layering patterns and colors with a disregard for style. He has a dozen (and counting) pairs of All Stars, and likes to wear a different color on each foot.
Mad Midnight Tagger Wot Tags At Midnight - Sawyer is not good at graffiti, but he enjoys it. His nickname--Fix--was born of his tag, which he chose largely because it is all straight lines and has an "i" in it, thus making it easier to tag. His projects tend be of the sharpie-bomb-and-run type, but he will indulge in a larger piece if he feels he can do so with relative safety. Then again, running is fun, too.
Kids' TV: - Sawyer knows the PBS Kids lineup backwards and forwards, and can watch Cartoon Network for hours on end. He has an internet connection almost solely for the purpose of torrenting entire seasons of Hey Arnold and Recess. He can name every dragon on Dragon Tales and give you a dossier on its personality. His fascination for television begins and ends at children's programming--no sitcoms or daytime TV or dramas hold his attention, but he will absolutely drop everything to catch an episode of Zaboomafoo. Even if it's about cats.APPEARANCE
Eyes: Pale, watery grey, and too big for his face, with sparse lashes.
Hair: Black, in a fluffy, ill-kept mop typically, although when he is playing Fashion Chameleon he will slick it down or even back. It's kept long on the sides, but not so long in the back that it can fit into a ponytail.
Face: Boyish, big-eyed, with an upturned nose that is nearly always red, and chapped lips that he picks at incessantly when he isn't busy chewing his nails. His eyebrows are shockingly bold and thick for such a childish face, and during the summer he sometimes has a light dusting of freckles.
Body: Thin but not athletic--although he is slender, he has the soft contours of baby fat, not the wiry outlines of muscle. He is short, as well--standing at a scant five-foot-six.
Clothes: His day-to-day attire largely consists of whatever is comfortable, close to his hands, and doesn't smell too bad. He layers up patterns and colors, wears mismatched All Stars nearly every day, and rarely goes out without a winter scarf, even in the heat of summer. This last is only partly affectation: having fringe near his fingers and fabric near his mouth helps keep him from his habit of constantly chewing his nails and picking at his lower lip.
That said, he will when the mood strikes him play "dress up" and attempt to emulate a particular style with the items he has on hand, from skater to, hilariously, business man. He pulls off the latter with nearly as much aplomb as the former. He also has a stock of what he crudely calls his "homeless" clothes, which he deploys when he feels like making the odd buck or two panhandling.

VIRTUES
Everyone's Buddy - Sawyer is irrepressibly outgoing, and will gladly approach any stranger in the street to bum a smoke or offer it, or just to chat about... whatever, really. He adores company and conversation, and is never happier than when he chances upon an "interesting" and chatty new acquaintance. Then he will put his chin in his hands and listen to everything they have to say, no matter how banal. He has a network of casual friends, and is on a first-name basis with nearly every cashier and waiter in a ten-block radius of his house.
Bend Like a Reed - Sawyer rolls with changes easily and well, despite a slight tendency to histrionics. He adapts quickly to new situations, deals well with trauma, and has a knack for finding a way out of tough scrapes--including, most notably, financial ones. Sawyer has a marvelous turn for scraping up cash, whether it's through a spot of dishonest panhandling, a bit of yard sale action, or just sweet-talking his manager at the thrift store into throwing him a few extra shifts.
Absolution - Although he is childishly prone to having his feelings hurt and has mastered a look of wounded pride like few others ever could, Sawyer's grudges, though intense, are short-lived. His benevolence extends even to quite grievous offenses against him: whether it's from a need to be loved or from a genuine talent for forgiveness or just because he hates personal and emotional conflict, Sawyer will handwave quite malicious affronts. He is also something of a natural mediator, intervening when friends fight to see them both on good terms again whenever he can. FLAWS
Pants on Fire - Although a friend can trust Sawyer implicitly with her life, she shouldn't trust him to tell the truth about... anything. Nearly every word that comes out of Sawyer's mouth is a lie, and his particular favourite method of bending the truth is to tell it exactly as it is, a tactic which can lead to surprising dishonesty. He gives false names, embroiders his stories, and fibs his way into parties, all with equal aplomb. If called on it, he will typically not even bother to make excuses. To Sawyer, the truth should never stand in the way of a good story.
Like Velcro - Sawyer is clingy--needy even. Although he is forgiving, his feelings are easily hurt, and so he is in a position to forgive often. He holds desperately to those he perceives as friends, and has an exhausting need for both emotional and physical closeness. He has very little sense of personal space, and despite knowing this, can't seem to help but insinuate himself into hugs or even just too-close-for-comfort standing.
Just Say Yes - Gullible, fun-loving, hedonistic, and easily-led, Sawyer's a tempting target for manipulative people. His eagerness to please often has him thrust into situations that are bad for his health, and his love of partying and good times mean he'll as gladly do a line of coke at your suggestion as he will indulge in his usual, less-harmful vices of pot and cheap booze. Additionally, some of the people he would refer to as "friends" are honestly nothing more than leeches availing themselves of his generosity and inability to turn down a request or favor, or even a "loan" that inevitably ends up being a gift.

Negaverse Alias: Lieutenant Bornite
Challenge: This should trip you up!
Weapon:
Lieutenant: A finger-sling, fashioned from... shoelaces? It flings paintballs, which are a messy pain in the neck, but do no real damage.
Captain: An actual shepherd's sling, now, although on close inspection it appears to be made of bootlaces. Some things never change. An ammunition upgrade means that the paintballs are less flimsy--enough to leave a mark.
General: The upgraded shepherd's sling dispenses paintballs that explode on impact, but the paint is caustic and leaves a lingering burn.
Why the Negaverse? Mostly, because he was chosen for it. That said, he is easily persuaded by what seem to him like big ideas: Chaos would be appealing; he would feel almost instantly that it was right. He is gullible and easily-led, and so the first to pump his head full of ideas would have his loyalty almost instantly; the first to persuade him that he might be useful would win his approval-craving heart immediately. Then, too, he has a turn for dishonesty and vice.
