Name: Tarik RashidNickname: ‘Rik
Age: 33
Birthday: October 5
Sign: Libra
Gemstone: Opal
Blood Type: B
Fav. Food: Smoked Salmon, Sweet Potato Casserole, Black Forest Cheesecake
Hated Food: Avocado. He hates to admit it almost, you see it everywhere, and people legitimately seem to enjoy it but… but… no. Cherries (he knows this contradicts the cheesecake thing. He doesn’t care.)
School: N/A (Ballet Dancer)
Hobbies:
-Crime procedural tv: He knows they’re inaccurate, and the villains can be predictable, and he tends to argue with the television over the predictable blanket of ‘terrorist’ characters, but he kind of gets a kick out of a world where, bull or not, where the bad guys inevitably get their due. Less CSI or Criminal Minds (He finds Criminal minds to be,as he put it, ‘gratuitously brutal’) than say, Elementary or NCIS. He has still however not forgiven them for Ziva, to the extent his wife has probably had enough hearing about her.
-Coffee Shops: As much as he otherwise abuses his feet dancing ballet, he heavily appreciates being able to sit down, take over an overstuffed chair and enjoy a few cups of overpriced coffee drinks, read a book, and people watch.
Virtues:
Do as I do:: If something takes a lot of work, especially the things he’s emotionally invested in, ‘Rik is your man, having been known to practice until he can’t anymore, because he refuses to ask others to put in effort he’s not willing to. He also uses this as something of a guide toward dealing with others, having done things hands on he tends to believe gives him a better guide to if others might be capable of the same, and he’s not above declaring a project impossible… though sometimes it seems that way when it comes to himself.
Suave: IN another life, and were he more interested in acting than in dance, ‘Rik might have made a good Bond. He’s smooth, knows how to flirt subtly without too much commitment, and how to bite his tongue and be polite. It’s come in handy at fund raisers and dealing with people, and he keeps a good poker face publicly even when he’d like to slap someone upside the head. The eyes give it away a little, more so these days when annoyance crinkles up around the corners of his eyes a bit more, but it’s still possible to misread. He and his wife might bicker and banter off to the sidelines, but for them it’s all part of the romance, and more than a little bit letting down their hair instead of smiling, nodding, and looking good in costume.
Flaws:
Give me Five more Minutes: While he’s not above admitting projects might be impossible, ‘Rik has trouble admitting that he, personally, might not be capable of something. Having grown up in a household of high standards, and having had to work particularly hard to prove the merit of his particular career, ‘Rik has trouble admitting to a potential defeat in something he’s been working on, and takes these failures particularly hard, even if they were doomed from the start.
You’re so Vain (And this song is totally about him). ‘Rik doesn’t just dress to stand out because it’s good for his image and reputation, he believes the image and reputation are fairly well owed to him because he’s just. That. AWESOME. He’s good looking, he works hard, and he knows he stands out among ballerinas and ballerino’s he can snidely dismiss as ‘whitebread’ behind closed doors. He dislikes being rumpled, and just because he’s skilled and athletic doesn’t mean he plans to get his hands dirty or wreck his manicure if he can help it. Screw you, he’s got places to BE.
