Welcome to Gaia! ::

Hobbies:
Keeping Others Company - Shawn will always take the time to listen to others, especially due to his lonely nature. This doesn't just apply to people he considers his friends, but to anyone who seems alone without wanting to be - even people who he might not like or who might not like him. He's pretty easy to talk to because he's a good listener in that he will pay attention to someone and what they have to say rather than just be there to hear them out. Should anyone ever seem to need or want it, he will try to offer advice, encouragement, or support. He doesn't like others to be alone if he can help it and will hang around just to keep others company unless they request for him to do otherwise.

Virtues:
Determined - If this teen has a goal, he will stay focused on it until he achieves it. Once he sets out to do something, he will resolutely do anything in his power to see it through to the end as long as it doesn't harm others. He's very persistent and will endure whatever obstacles he needs to to persevere. He's very good at keeping his eyes on the prize and not getting side-tracked or changing his mind simply because a task seems difficult. Shawn is generally unwavering and resolute in his objectives, committing to them until he sees them through.

Flaws:
Paranoid - Ever since Shawn was an infant, his parents taught him to be wary of strangers; particularly because they often lived on the streets and in homeless shelters, so it was hard to say who they could trust. The boy developed a fear of many things, but most of all his parents warned him against the supernatural happenings of Destiny City, which they had more exposure to than most due to their lack of a proper home. Monsters and supernatural beings of various kinds roamed the streets and Shawn was told to avoid all of them because there was no telling which were harmful and which were helpful, but all seemed to disturb the peace of civilian lives. It was even rumored that some stole and ate souls; a rumor that kept Shawn up many nights and plagued the little sleep he managed to get with nightmares. When a particularly poisonous youma's residue caused Shawn's mother to fall ill and die, he became more obsessively suspicious of and anxious around youma and powered beings than ever.

Reckless - This teen may be paranoid, but that doesn't necessarily make him cautious. He finds it easiest to cope with his anxiety by taking action and doing so quickly, even if said action isn't the wisest choice and he hasn't spent time thinking it through. For this reason, he can tend to seem impulsive, even though it's fear that drives him more so than a desire to do the thing itself. He tends to avoid thinking before he acts because he worries that if he waits too long, he'll miss the opportunity to take action.
