Appearance:

Riley Atkinson stands at an impressive six foot two, towering over most of his friends. His weight also has more to do with his height and muscles than anything else. He is the tallest in his family and it shocked them when they watched him continue to grow over the years, both his parents just touch on 5 foot something and are, in a way, proud of there big strong baby boy. For Riley it was a little hard at first, always being the tallest in his class, looking older than all of his peers, but as he aged it deemed lucky with the ladies and so his self-conciousness soon faded. As he grew more confident he noticed that girls tended to like a guy with a toned body, so he spent every evening at the gym working on his now amazing figure. He's not totally ripped and disgustingly muscualr, but he has enough to make girls smile. Enough to make himself feel sexy which he tends to try and pull most of the time. His arms and legs are visably bulging, and his stomache is pretty much washboard under those cute little shirts.

When it comes to his looks, Riley takes great pride in his face and keeps his skin flawless as much as possible, he tends to steer clear of crap and junk food to keep that baby soft complexion of his glowing. Naturally his tan is okay, but Riley being Riley he likes to sit out in the sun and catch a few rays to top up that golden glaze he has grown so accustomed too. His mother often told him about sitting out in the sun too much and how it could affect him and burn him and cause this that and the other but Riley never seemed to listen, although despite his mothers warnings he never had any trouble and his skin was there on out, his best feature. When it came to facial hair he struggled, all through his early teens where his friends had begun shaving he still had no signs of any stubble, not one hair on that pretty boys face. Not until he was atleast seventeen did a slight shadow begin to appear. Then a year later and boom! Shaving everyday, to keep a clean cut appearance then became routine. Growing up had been hard for Riley body-wise, he was too tall and too freash faced, but when puberty hit, it hit hard and now our gorgeous boy has blossomed nicely.

To add to his innocent cute little boy charm, Riley was blessed with big puppydog brown eyes, which he learnt as a child could get him anything he wanted from his mother. Almond in shape and deep chocolate mocca colour made telling him off a lot harder for Mrs Atkinson. His mothers favourite feature of her sons adorable face was his long lashes, again Riley saw them as a curse, setting him apart from his friends, and not in a good way, now he was tall-baby face-with girly lashes, for his entire childhood. All gifts inherited from his father which at the time felt like the death of him, but again growing up proved him popular with all the ladies! His nose was once quite ordinarily plain but after a football mess up at fourteen he bares a small bump from where it snapped on the shoe of the goaly as he attemped a victorious dive, which innevitably failed and left him with a broken nose and a bloody uniform. His peach coloured lips, bear a slight pout, which again he tries to hide, but his bottom lip, full and kissable had always been harder to keep subtle, Riley is concious of his lips the most and he feels are his most femine feature, something that he truley hates.

Although to make up for almost all the things he hates about his face, he was given the gift of strong jaw and prodominant cheek bones, giving him that ambercrombie guy chisled features look. Something he could finally be proud of.

Ontop of that cute little head of his, sits equally yummy chocolate hair. Naturally curly and of course hated by himself. When he was younger he went through a stage of thinking that keeping it longer would make him look like more of a guy, where his face had failed him, but now as looked back on school photographs he realised he hadn't done himself any justice. But yes, from the age of twelve to sixteen, Riley kept it to a length that just broushed his ears. Not attractive in the slightest and his boggest regret, but his mother had seemed to love it. great. (just what every guy needs, his mothers approval) But reaching those crutial sexy years he chopping to a new style and has kept it that way ever since. Short and clean it frames his face well and has just enough length for the girls to wind there fingers through at those all important moments (wink wink!)

When it comes to his dress sense, Riley isn't that fussy. Everyday wear consists of a pair of baggy faded denim jeans and some form of vest, ideally thin enough so that the girls can get a load of that scrummy body, but nothing to man-whore-ish. Around his neck he keeps a chain bearing a key, he never takes it off and it always seen wearing it to any occassion. The key is from his brothers motorbike, his brother died in an accident on his bike three years ago and Riley keeps the key as a rememberence to his best friend.

When it comes to going out, Riley is definetly a suit type of guy, wether its to a premiere or just out to Nitro he always wears his black trousers, a shirt and jacket or blazer, he likes to keep it smart, to give people the right impression about who he is.

Personality:

Riley has definetly changed a hell of a lot from the boy he was to the man he is now. He has grown in so many ways thanks to his experiences and the people who affected him most. As a young boy, Riley was shy and timid, kept himself to himself and had few friends. He was very self-concious about his height and was picked on a lot by the kids in his class, they knocked his confidence and made him a quiet contained and slightly weak character. He never had the confidence to make new friends and talking to girls was just out of the question, to them he was 'scary giant boy' and so he spent his lunchtimes alone. His heart was always in the right place but his confidence never was.

Then as he grew up and his peers started to catch up with him height wise, he slowly became more brave and started to talk to people and as he aged and his body matured, he finally began to grow a personality he was proud of. Enter current day Riley...

One of many qualities is how amazingly laid back he is, having being laughed at and pushed around so much as a child and then suddenly having no pressure at all, really relaxes a guy. He always seems mellow and manages to keep his cool in heated situations, if someone challenges him in something or accuses his of anything, he is able to stay calm and talk it out rather than shout it down and cause more drama than needed. He's Mr Chilled and takes everything in his stride as much as possible. He keeps happy and keeps a cool head and deals with his problems when he is ready, he hates to rush into anything and just simple stands back and takes a second look at situations before adressing them.

But before all of this Riley tends to be a little arrogant and it's only when trouble arrives does his cooler, calmer side appear, because right on top of that is the Riley he never got to be as a child. He likes to show off a little, wether it be to do with his work or with his girls, he likes to let people know that Riley Atkinson is achieving. He would happily slide a snide comment in to a an enemy if he is doing better than him, or make arsey unessary marks at the wrong time. He finds a little amusing to flaunt his victories and such and thinks he has the right to do so, and he will never hesitate to let people know that.

But he only tends to show this side to people that provoke or annoy him. At first glance and oppertunity to meet Riley, you will see he is actually quite a sweet friendly guy, he thinks that his ability to be able to talk to people confidently is a new skill of his and never fails to make it obvious how friendly and light he actually is. A friendly smile and hand shake is what he offers and as cheesy as it may sound, he just likes to know that the new him is capable of making friends at long bloody last. He treats people equally and tends to ignore the cliques and food chains of the high school. Although he is twenty, he sees age as just a number and wont judge anyone by it or hold it against them in a debate of any kind. He knows many a person brighter than him and younger and so will never use his wisedom of age as an excuse for anything.

When it comes to girls, Riley has the absolute time of his life. Why have just the one? He never tends to allow himself to fall into relationships with just anyone, and so enjoys his life as a good looking guy, going from girl to girl quite contently. Although he isnt the type of guy to cheat on a girl and sees each one as a precious gem, each one unique and to be handled with care. Although he likes fast woman, he couldn't think of anything worse than hurting a girl by sleeping with another.

When it really comes down to relationships, he doesn't mind them. he's no whore, infact he's quite lovable and when he does decide to call a girl his girlfriend she knows she is special becuase he doesn't use that term lightly. Riley treats a girlfriend with the highest respect and when he falls in love there isn't anything he wouldn't do for her. He would happily kill any guy that so much as tounches her and he wouldn't mind being the guy she cries on, falls asleep with and can't wait to see every morning if he really cares about her.

History:

Riley Harvey Atkinson, Born and bread in California itself, His Mother Lucy Anna Bravas married his father Nicholas Martin Atkinson just two years before he was born, on a beautiful beach at sunset. They built there house together down by the shore having little money and barely enough to get by, yet they were happy just to have each other. There love was amazingly strong and just two years went by before they were expecting twin boys. Soon Riley and Finn were born and completly identical, not just in looks but in character, the boys grew up along side one another in perfection, never arguing, never fighting. They became the best of friends. Finn however was slightly more confident and looked out for his brother when he was picked on at school.

Being in California his whole life, Riley really got to know everyone and became everyones friend. Although he often wished he could travel out side of the state and go see the rest of the world. Unfortunatly his family never had the money. His mother wasn't working because arthritus had dominated her left side and so the family relied soley on there fathers wages. Which wasn't alot. Both Finn and Riley promised they would find good jobs so they could help out there parents and get them a real house and lifestyle.

Riley was the first to land a job and he became a motors engineer. He was brilliant at what he did, any car or bike that needed fixing or servicing Finn could do it in an instant. Everyone in California seemed to be asking for Finn Atkinson, it became quite a talent and Lucy and Nicholas were extremely proud of him. Meanwhile Riley was finding it very hard finding something he was good at. He didn't seem to have a natural skill like his brother and although he had tried out many things he never seemed to get a hold of anything. On their seventeenth birthday, a huge clients company that had come to Finn with a bunch of bikes to service earlier that year, gave him a brand new harley as a present. A huge black Motorcylce with is name ingraved on it. Finn had taken it out to ride straight away and he let Riley ride on the back.

They sped down the road so fast it felt amazing and Riley saw his brother in whole new light. He was biker Finn the coolest brother around. As they turned a corner to head back home, Lorry coming the other way lost control and skidded sideways. Finn quickly swerved out the way and Riley was flung from the vehicle onto the pavement, where he broke his leg. It cripped him with pain, but nothing was more agonising then what he was about to see. He looked up to find his brother to see the lorry had fallen over on it's side and crushed the motorcylce and Finn along with it.

Riley lost his best friend that day. He never felt the same, When the ambulance arroved and claimed him dead, all that was left was the motorcylce key, which Riley took and has never let go of since. It hit the family hard and they all mourned Finn for a long time. A couple of years later and Riley decided to do what he and his brother had started doing and working hard enough until they could make there parents a nicer place to live. Riley got to it straight away, he didn't want to let his brother down. One day will settling up some work for his father a film director came into his office, Riley recognized him from an award show and began talking to him at once. Soon he offered him a job as a runner on the set of his new film, just fetching coffee and doing the paperwork. After a years hard labor and clever talking Riley had made his way up to Casting Director and at last could afford a lifestyle for his parents. He bought them a nice house in the middle of California and moved out, buying himself a little apartment. It didn't feel right doing all these things with Finn, but Riley knew his brother would be proud.

I'd just like to point out that you have grown so so much since you first started here. This application is great! You have really showed great progression and this application is the perfect example of it. Everything is well written and articulated. I will have to cut you off after this character, however, seeing as you already have six. But you are good with being active and keeping up with them so I will accept this (:
