Dylan Woods. [Dy Dy my darling....]

[Dylan Woods.]

Name: Dylan Woods.

Age: seventeen

Physical Description: Dylan has a thin face with a pointed chin and a definitive jaw line. He has soft kind eyes that are highly expressive and they often give away his emotions. They are brown but the colour changes quite a lot depending on his mood - just like his fathers eyes - when he's happy they're a chocolate colour, angry they're light brown, so light they almost look amber, and when he's sad or tired they are a brown so dark it looks almost black. Dylan has quite full lips but that mouth is usually and when he smiles he displays a beautiful set of white teeth. His whole face lights up when he smiles and he is much more attractive when he does smile.

Dylan has beautiful smooth porcelain skin that never seems to vary in tone all over his body - which he inherited from his mother. His skin is rarely marred by spots or black heads because he has small pores and he is very persistent about washing his face morning and night. He has quite long brown hair that is thick and never really sits the way Dylan wants it to. His hair is a dark brown colour that hangs around his face as a frame of a beautiful portrait, his hair is wavy and mostly messy but it’s part of his look. He doesn't really bother with his hair much though, he just leaves it most of the time. Sometimes he'll run a brush through it but that’s only if he remembers. However his hair always manages to be soft to the touch and pleasant on the eyes.

Dylan is quite tall compared to most boys his age and this gives him a slight superiority complex. He doesn't like it when people who are taller than him tower over him and look down their noses at him. He stands quite happily at six foot three inches. He is also very skinny, almost scarily so, but that is just because he exercises so much. Dylan rarely does exercise; he eats like a horse and doesn't ever seem to gain a pound. You would think he's a dancer by the grace of the way he moves, every movement that boy makes is beautiful and soft. Dylan has no issues with his appearance at all, in fact you might say he has a problem with vanity.

Clothing Description: Dylan mostly wears jeans and a skin tight t-shirt, the t-shirt usually bares some sort of band logo or skate board design and they are almost always splattered with paint. The jeans are usually ripped and scruffy and make a hobo look like he has amazingly well-kept clothes, these are also usually paint splattered. He favours big hoodies that are scruffy and worn, sometimes he wears his dad's old ones but he hates doing that because it just brings up the pain his dad caused him. When Dylan wear's jackets they are usually quite fitted and button up the front, because of his seriously slim physique he pulls it off very well. He loves plaid print shirts with the first few buttons open that aren't tucked into jeans and he loves big chunky skater shoes.

Personality: Dylan is moody and difficult the majority of the time. He can go from being insanely happy to rip-everything-apart angry in a matter of seconds. Quite often his mood changes with no real cause. He tends to let the little things bother him too much and he can be extremely stubborn. Although Dylan is extremely skinny and lean he is rather strong and often violent towards other guys that he thinks are getting in his face. Dylan would never hit a girl, he would stand and take awful beatings from a girl and never make any violent moves towards her, no matter what she’d done to him.

Dylan is secretive, he keeps his past and family out of conversation and he never tells anybody about them, things about his past and family can make him withdrawn during certain situations and conversations. He is quite reputation conscious, he doesn’t like to do things that will change someone’s opinion of him unless it is for the better. He tends to think too much and get himself stressed out over things that don’t actually matter at all. Dylan tends to get lost in himself when he’s doing something he cares about. This usually means he hides away in his room or disappears out of town for a day or two and loses track of time, he forgets everything and everyone else.

Despite being moody and aggressive, Dylan is extremely sweet; it’s usually just the small things he does like the way he smiles and the way he talks to girls he’s romantically involved with, and the way he makes hot chocolate or tea for someone who got soaked in the rains, a lot of his sweetness comes from how thoughtful he is and how much empathy he has for other people. Dylan is really loving towards his friends and towards girls he’s romantically involved with, he hates being betrayed or abandoned by the people he loves and he always shows a lot of empathy towards their feelings.

Dylan is very artistic, he’s always drawing or painting or taking photographs or creating sculptures or thinking about something artistic, his art often mirrors his feelings through the colours used or the picture portrayed. Dylan is a dreamer; he is always dreaming up some scheme or another for money or leisure or just for the sake of it. A lot of the time he doesn’t follow through with his dreams which are usually more of elaborate plans than heart-felt wishes. His emotional statues will always keep you on your toes and you won’t know what he’s thinking unless he wants you to.

Dylan is one of the mot vain people you will ever meet, he has serious obsessions with himself and a superiority complex that you would not believe. It's his way of dealing with the fact his mother tore down his ego during his early teens and now he's just making up for it big style. Deep down, under his self-adoration he is really insecure but he would never say it nor even think it. He cannot let himself slide back into that place of self-loathing because he knows it's not good for his mental health. Dylan doesn't know how to deal with insults, usually he'll just try to laugh it off and then he'll make a mental note to hit you - if you're a boy, or start telling people he slept with you - if you're a girl. He's not really as mean as he sounds, those reactions were just in extreme cases. Dylan is actually really sensitive and deep....when he wants to be.

History: Dylan grew up in a strange sort of environment, his mom [Estelle] was deeply in love with his dad [Lenny] who constantly cheated on her. He was never told about the situation but Dylan was an intelligent child who picked it up and worked it out all by himself, the heated arguments, constant absence of his father and his mother’s tears told him all he needed to know. Dylan didn’t want to talk to his mother about it so instead he drew cartoons and was generally creative and tried to ignore his parents’ life style. He didn’t like talking about his feelings and dreams and worries with other people, it made him scared and upset.

Dylan didn’t know the finer details of what was going on but it was simply that Lenny didn’t love Estelle and had a new girlfriend every week whilst Estelle clung to him using the excuses that he was married and he had a son to worry about to make him stay with her. Of course, Lenny as only staying because of the guilt tripping and the obligation he felt towards making sure his son turned out okay. Estelle was telling herself that he was staying out of love for her, but that was obviously not the case. Dylan was growing up not knowing what it felt like to be loved, only occasionally getting praise from his father whilst his mother drowned her sorrows or tried to force his father to love her.

When Dylan was ten, Lenny gave him a hug one morning, told Dylan to be good for his mother and then gave Estelle a quick kiss on the lips. The first kiss they’d had in two months. Then he walked out of the house and out of their lives. Of course, Dylan and Estelle had absolutely no idea that Lenny had left them until about a week later, when he still hadn’t come back. They were used to him disappearing for days at a time but if he was leaving for a week or longer he’d always come up with some bogus excuse like ‘I’m out of town on business’. Since there was none of these lame excuses the pair slowly began to twig on that Lenny had left them once and for all. Dylan spent week in numb shock, he’d never really liked his dad but his father’s betrayal really scarred him deeply. Because of Lenny, Dylan would grow up to be terrified of being abandoned.

Estelle took it worse than Dylan did. She went crazy with rage and began to spend her time morbidly drunk. After a few months her rage towards Lenny turned into rage aimed at Dylan, the continuous drunkenness had confused her and she now saw Dylan as Lenny. She began to beat him and tell him how he was a worthless piece of crap who no one could ever want. And Dylan, being young and impressionable, believed her. He spent the next five years of his life believing what his drunken, crazy, confused mother had told him: that he was nothing.

Dylan spent years where he didn’t bother trying to get to know people, he didn’t want to let them in because he was sure they’d abandon him and make him feel more like a worthless piece of crap than he already did. His pain was put into his artwork, his pictures and his sculptures. One day, when Dylan was fourteen his mother came into his room in a drunken fit of rage and beat him for fifteen minutes whilst Dylan did what he always did and stood there and took every blow that was meant for his father. When she was done beating him she tore down his paintings and smashed all his sculptures. Then she screamed at him that she hated him and she hoped he rotted in hell and stormed out of the house.

When Dylan was fifteen he got involved with his first serious girlfriend, Molly. Molly made him realise that he wasn’t worthless and he was an extremely talented artist. She was his everything. He adored her so much and he convinced himself that he was going to marry her. But since he was getting in trouble so much in school and his home life was in ruins he found it hard to express to her how strongly he felt about her. So she remained oblivious to the extent of his love. But the biggest event that occurred when Dylan was fifteen was a simple phone call. It was his father. Dylan spent a lot of the time in shocked silence whilst his father rambled on about where he’d been and how much he missed Dylan. When he said that he missed Dylan, Dylan instantly retorted with, ‘Come home then.’ Which was when the phone was abruptly hung up by Lenny and Dylan realised that he hated his father.

By the time Dylan was sixteen and a half he was beginning to realise that he had powers he couln't explain. Strange things had been happening during that year, he was able to hear peoples thoughts, when he was angry or very upset sometimes he could feel heat throbbing in his hands. Soon after this his aunt told him something he'd never known before that night, "Dy," she'd started, "There's something you should know about your mother's side of the family. We're spies. Estelle was spying on Lenny before she fell in love with him. We believe he was some sort of evil spirit or something else, we'll never know because Estelle fell in love with him and wouldn't let anyone near him." Dylan had been confused and lost but eventually his aunt had explained it all in sufficient detail. He was magical. She then sent him to Orchid Hill Academy so he could learn to control his powers.
