Occupation: Lighting Tech with a side specialization in Pyrotechnics
Hobbies:
Fire Spinning -- When Halston was five he wanted a baton-- a silver baton with rubber stoppers on either end, weighted perfectly for twirling like the majorettes he saw on the screen during the halftimes of the college football games his father watched with his older brother. When he was fifteen he attended auditions for Mayet Community Color Guard and while he didn't quite make the cut he was approached by a member of a different community. At age sixteen Hals ordered his first baton online with his mother's credit card, preparing to attend the first meeting of the Wheel in the Sky fire spinning group and he's been doing it ever since. The dance with fire is just dangerous enough to be thrilling. The passion and creativity that goes into planning a routine, from selecting the music to picking which medium to work with (batons, swords, fans, poi) gives him something to focus on... And the attention he gets from it? Well, that's not all that bad either.
Karaoke -- While he may not have the flare that some of his friends have for certain forms of stage performance, Halston never misses a chance to show off his vocal range at karaoke night. His preference in song ranges and he'll even take requests, as long as the attention is all on him until the end of the set. Just... Do him a favor and don't invite his brother, alright? He always insists on duets and he really can't sing.
Pros:
Yes I CanConfident -- Halston has never lacked in the confidence department. As a second son once might think that he'd take the back-burner to his older brother, but he was determined to stand his own and find ways to set himself apart. He thrives off of performing in front of others. Public speaking? Not a problem either. Why would it be when he knows he's that good and he's got what it takes.
All or NothingPassionate -- Passion isn't just for dollar store romance novels. Passion is real. It comes from the heart and it sings through the soul. When Hals finds something to dedicate himself to he does so wholly, giving his all and easily pouring his everything into it.
Cons:
Never My WayPessimistic -- No matter how much confidence and charisma he exudes, deep down Halston knows that things just aren't going to work the way he wants them to. Why would they? They're just destined to go wrong because they've already gone right for someone else-- No, really, this is a terrible idea. It's even worse of an idea if it wasn't his to begin with. The sun isn't going to come out tomorrow... It's just going to rain all day.
Temper, TemperMoody-- Halston is a pot of water always on a low boil and all it takes is a nudge for it to bubble over. He tends to lash out verbally more than physically-- why get your hands dirty when there are so many other ways you can ruin someone? Like getting someone else to do it, for example... His temper can be hot and explosive with grudges long lasting. Fool me once and never again..
