Height: 6’2”
Weight: 190
Physical Description: ..build..:
Craig treats keeping in shape very seriously, but you would never guess it because he’s worked it into his routine so simply. He goes out for a run every morning and evening and owns his own home gym equipment for building muscle. He is nicely toned, but he doesn’t overwork himself because no one likes to be exhausted during their free time. His exercise has become more of an enjoyable activity for him rather than a chore.
..hair..:
One thing you can usually recognize about men with Scottish backgrounds is the color of their hair. It’s usually rather dark and for Craig, it’s no different. He tries to keep himself fairly clean-cut, although he sometimes grows out a slight beard. He has never bothered growing out his hair beyond the length he has it now which is fairly short, but not close to buzzed. His hair is purely black in color and it suits him perfectly so he’s never felt there was a need to alter the color one bit, even if it were to be some small highlights.
..eyes..:
Craig’s eyes aren’t really something people pay much attention to unless they are comfortable enough with him to look longingly into them. If that should happen, you’ll notice his hazel green eyes display many thoughts and feelings, should you be expert enough to translate.
..other facial features..:
You’ll always notice evidence of a beard, for it’s quite difficult to tame, which is why you’ll see him grow it out every once and a while. His skin is lightly tanned in the winter and grows a few shades darker in the summer, for he tends to tan easily. He has a very charming smile and his nose and lips are not obscure enough to make any unique comment about, but they suit him well nonetheless.
..scars..:
Craig has numerous scars, most of them from his teenage years of ridiculously idiotic stunts. He still has one on his back from falling from a twenty foot tree.
..flaws..:
Some may mistake him as completely untrustworthy (which may not be far from the truth) because of his ‘dark’ expressions. His eyes aren’t easy to connect with and so it’s difficult to know what he’s thinking or what he’s about to say or do. Very unpredictable, but that suits him just fine.
..tattoos/piercings..:
tattoo on his right arm
Physical Flaws:
--big nose
--small eyes
--eyebrows very close to eyes
--lines across forehead when stresssed/angry/concerned

Overall Personality: I would say the best way to describe Craig is insensitive. He’s first love is sarcasm and hardly a day goes by in which he isn’t throwing insults back and forth with one person or another. It takes quite the ego to be the way he is and rest assured, his is larger than life. You’ll never find a weakness in Craig unless you actually bother to get to know him, which few have. For all we know, he could be a sensitive guy inside, but he’s definitely not one to show it on first impression. He can be a complicated character and no one really knows how to describe him in words. Sometimes he’ll act very laid back and careless; other times he’ll be jumpy and dangerous….mostly when he’s drunk, of course.

Ah, yes. One must not forget the party life that Craig holds very dear. Give him a few shots of bourbon any day and he’ll like you just fine. He’s not what you’d call an alcoholic, but it has gotten him in trouble numerous times. It’s probably about three times a week in which he seeks a great night out and even if it has to last until 4am, he’ll find himself a good time. It could mean sex, it could mean getting hopelessly drunk and doing ridiculously stupid things or it could mean both.

Craig has a lot of Scottish blood, which can cause him to be rather stubborn at times and if he doesn’t get what he wants, things can turn pretty ugly. It’s safe to say that most of the time he is a completely harmless guy who simply wishes to poke fun at whomever he gets the chance to, but it’s not just to feed his own ego most of the time. He’s a natural flirt and playful insults seem to be a very popular method with him. As long as you know he’s kidding, it makes him fun to be around, even if all it is is playful bickering. He can also be quite the tease with women and some might find that charming and believe me, Craig is a very charming guy if things go right. He can lure women in like you wouldn’t believe, but there’s no sense in bragging about it. He can do that himself.

Craig is always well-dressed. He nearly always looks like a million bucks with his suits and his polished shoes. Yes, Craig has money and he wont hesitate to let people know that. One thing you might never guess about him, however, is he actually does donate some to those in need. Sort of a little secret of his that makes him think he’s a better person and that is all he needs to do for the rest of society. But as I mentioned before, he could very well be a sweet person underneath, but very few have discovered that as of yet.

All in all, Craig is mostly a laid back type of guy that doesn’t believe he has to work too hard at anything, except at his job. When he knows there is a standard expected of him, he meets it and is a very respectable man in those circumstances and even out on the town if he feels like it. It’s difficult to decode this man into simple words, which will make you keep coming back for more.

History: Craig was born the second of two children, three years behind his older brother, Glenn. His parents married very young and didn’t really have a clue of how to raise kids (the reason for their marriage) so it was never easy around their household. Of course, Craig caused the most trouble, constantly making messes and getting into trouble at school. He’s scream at his parents and pout constantly when he didn’t get what he wanted and by the mistake of his parents, they always gave him what he wanted so that he would quit behaving in such a way. So Craig went through the first fifteen years of his life thinking he could get whatever he wanted and if he didn’t, it was a crime. Teachers hated him and he was expelled twice in junior high. What a terrible kid, right? Well, he eventually came to terms with reality and gained enough maturity to realize that his way of doing things wasn’t right. Either that, or it was his dad’s explosion that knocked some sense into him. His father was so fed up with the way his boy was acting, he finally snapped and nearly kicked Craig out of the house. It was hard for his parents to believe that he could act this way, especially with Glenn always behaving more civilly.

Craig had several girlfriends through high school, none of which really meant anything to him. He broke the hearts of several girls who were silly enough to think they loved him. Craig never really believed love was possible, especially at that age. He doesn’t still hold that doctrine, but he has yet to find anyone that was worth caring that much about. After all, all of the women he hung around hardly had much of a personality at all, which is probably why they bothered to treat him as popular. That, and of course there was his good looks. He was known as one of the most desirable man on campus (he’d like to think so, at least). He was always well-dressed, since his parents were fairly wealthy and it seemed like they went shopping every Saturday.

Once he reached college, Craig’s ego started to fade a bit. He focused on his studies during the week, but partied on the weekends, of course. He wanted to get his college degree and maybe make something of himself. He would make sure he landed a good job, for he couldn’t imagine living on his own without a lot of money to support himself because he refused to live off of his parents’ earnings for the rest of his life. He wanted to earn it himself because that was where your independence started. He had owned a club outside of Manhattan for about a year, but after a while, he simply couldn’t stand all the loud music and ridiculous things that went on there. He needed a place that was possibly a bit less hectic and Isliton seemed perfect.

Craig’s now searching for a job, possibly as a bartender just to get him started on life in Isliton with at least some source of money. He still had plenty that he earned from his business in Manhattan, but he couldn’t simply assume that it would last forever. He’s looking for new things, new people and most of all, a whole lot of fun.
