His lashes make up for it because they are thick and curly. His eyes area almost edging towards a circular shape. His eyebrows are thick and are pretty straight not arching much.

He is usually seen smiling and in some kind of laid back position. His face tells his emotions so if he isn’t smiling you can tell exactly what he is feeling.

Character
General Character Traits: Neil is extremely bubbly and dorky. He is enthusiastic about anything and everything and will do anything for a laugh. He is really loud and can be a bit of a dork. He has plenty of confidence and he has the kind of energy that just fills up a room. He is friendly to everyone and wants to see a good side in everyone.
His ability to see the good in everyone is often his downfall. He trusts his emotions way more than he probably should since most of his emotions are happy-go-lucky. He is often times crushed when betrayed but doesn’t show it.
He is extremely protective over his little sister who is basically his life. He loves her to death. He would risk his life for his little sister and if she is in danger he’s much more scary than happy.
Likes: Neil loves technology. It’s his thing. He just gets it. He likes making things too. Whether is some half working kind of whistle thing or a cool invention of some king its how Neil likes to spend his time, working with his hands. This shows how he interacts with the world as well, hands on. He needs to do things to understand and so sometimes he isn’t the most empathetic. He loves kids. The younger the better. He is a huge softy for the little ones. He likes them because well he is a kid basically. He likes the innocence and the trust that kids show adults. It’s like him. He loves anything sweet which again ties back into how he is a kid at heart.
Dislikes: Neil hates mornings. He is not a morning person at all. He wakes up a grouch who doesn’t talk much for the first 15 minutes or so after he wakes up or until he eats. He also hates blueberries. The small fruits just taste gross to him. He hates seeing anyone upset or hurt. He just wants everyone to be happy.
Habits/Mannerisms: Neil is constantly doing something with his hands especially when he is nervous. He is very analytical when stressed. He can be a little OCD about where things go. He likes things to be orderly and really neat, like the school in a way.
Strengths: Neil is very friendly. He’ll say hi to everyone and as long as you don’t give him too many reasons to hate you he likes you. He is really loyal. He trusts easily and that creates a really a pretty close bond to him with whoever gets close to him. This makes him a pretty good flock member because his easy going nature helps others adapt to new surroundings easier along with his enthusiasm to have fun it makes the hard stuff easier so they can keep going even when it’s hard.
Weaknesses: Neil overly trusts which makes things hard in when they are on the run all the time. He is indecisive which makes him a slightly crappy leader because he can’t make up his mind quickly. He needs things to be in order and that can get annoying when constantly on the run. Neil grew up just trusting people. He grew up around a lot of lies about how the world works and after that carefully crafted web was broken he just got rid of the whole idea that there was evil outside the school. He never had to make decisions in the school. They were always made for them and the school was always so neat and tidy that he needs that to keep his head straight.
Mother: Dr. Anne Beckerman. Age 36. Works at the school
Father: Dr. Joseph Beckerman Age 38. Works at the school.
Siblings: Zoe Rachel Beckerman
Background Story: Neil’s parents both work at the school. They met in college and not long after got married. After they both graduated at the top of their class they were recruited to work at the school. They were young and the school approached them to be a part of something revolutionary. They had a baby for science.
That baby was Neil. He was given to the school. His parents oversaw most experiments on him. Throughout his years as a kid in the school he was told that the outside world was evil and all the kids inside the school were getting saved. He was told that there were people who killed each other over silly things like the color of their skin. He was told lots of things just to make sure he stayed in the school. Neil believed it all.
Neil was always the kind of person who wanted to help others. He was allowed to wander because the scientists had complete trust that he wouldn’t ever run away. He would try to comfort kids with the same lies that his parents fed him about how inside the school was the best place for them. He would goof around with the older ones trying to get them to smile and be happy.
When Neil was ten his parents had another kid, his little sister Zoe. He loved her immediately. His generally caring and sweet personality had him being a perfect older brother. He loved his sister with all his heart and at a young age he was already protective of her. But he trusted his parents and even though they did tests on her he kept thinking that it was for the best. But his trust was starting to waver a bit.
When he was 12 his little sister had a surgery on her to change her digest track so she would absorb more nutrients from foods. It wasn’t needed it was just an experiment. Zoe nearly died from it. That was the clarifying thing for Neil. They couldn’t be good if they nearly killed his sister.
His parents tried to make amends to Neil and fed him more lies to try to fix everything. Neil finally saw through it all. The school was the bad guys and that meant that everyone outside was the good guys.
Neil created an elaborate plan and broke out of the school taking Zoe with him.

Approved Powers: As the rules state all powers must be approved before being used
The looks section of the character sheet is intended for you to describe the physical appearance of your character. It is very important to be thorough and detailed to best aid others in picturing what your character looks like. Please keep your descriptions objective and factual.
Eyes: In this section, please describe your character's eyes. Ask yourself how the colour and shape is, if they are wide set or not; you can also describe lashes and eyebrows here. Please refrain from using phrases such as "she has beautiful eyes." It is a personal opinion, and as such doesn't belong in a character sheet. Don't give your character an eye colour that doesn't exist. Colour changing eyes are not accepted either.
Hair: Here we expect a description of the hair; you can talk about the colour, length, whether the hair is curly or straight, how the character usually styles it etc. Please stick to natural-looking hair-colours.
Height: Please just insert a height here. Make sure that it works for your character's age though.
General Appearance: This is the part of the Looks section that needs most attention. It is recommended to structure it. You can start describing the face, for example. Think of how the face is shaped, how the skin looks (colour, does the character have freckles or dimples, etc.), the lips / teeth, nose and any striking facial features should be described here.
When you've dealt with all aspects you wanted to describe, you proceed to the build of the character, are they lean or not? Muscular? Are there any recognisable things about the body?
You can also add something about typical expressions, body language etc. here.
When you are done with this part of the sheet it should be possible for the reader to imagine how your character looks like. Therefore you should make sure that your description covers a lot of aspects of your character's appearance.
Dressing Style: What does your character wear?
General Character Traits: Here you describe your character's personality. Ask yourself how your character ticks. You can write a few paragraphs here. Try to structure them a little and make sure that you explain the character traits which you mention in some way. If someone is nice but also occasionally mean then please, explain in which situations they act in which way. Tell us if your character experienced something that made them feel and act in a certain way.
It might help to collect some key words first and we strongly advise you to look for both positive and negative character traits. Bear in mind that nobody is perfect and your character, therefore, should have some flaws as well.
Likes: What does your character like? What interests them? Which hobbies do they have? Is there any food your character particularly likes? Please explain these likes and show us what they mean for your character. Usually things someone likes tell us something about the person.
Dislikes: This section is very similar to the Likes section. Tell us something about the things your character dislikes. You can list things, situations and also a behaviour that others might show. Be creative and explain us why your character doesn't like the things you chose.
Please note that both, likes and dislikes, are listed to show how your character ticks. Therefore, sticking to common dislikes such as mean people, lies etc. might not be the best way to go as they don't set your character apart from others. Try to find a couple of unique likes and dislikes that help us understand your character better.
Habits/Mannerisms: Does your character have any ticks? Things they do all the time? You can list things like chewing nails here. Also mannerisms such as, for example, doing something in the same order all the time, can be listed here. If there's something special about your character's facial expression, body language, or voice you can add that here as well. As always, explaining the things you chose is appreciated. You could tell us something about how they developed a habit / mannerism.
Strengths: What we are looking for in this section are personality strengths. Being good at school subjects doesn’t belong here. Tell us about character traits that are positive about your charrie. Are they friendly, helpful, determined, loyal,...? Please, point out how these traits apply to your character and write this section in complete sentences.
Weaknesses: Which bad character traits and weaknesses does your character have? Usually there should be about as many weaknesses as strengths, if not more. Subjects at school don't count as character weaknesses and should not be listed here. Examples for weaknesses would be when your character is mean, disloyal, lazy, intolerant, etc. Please explain how these traits affect your character and where they stem from.
Mother:
Father:
Siblings: As with all relatives you are supposed to list the siblings' full names and ages.
Background Story: The Background Story is an important part of your character sheet. Please bear in mind that the personality of your character developed because of the things that happened in their lives. Their personality and their morals stem from their experiences, after all. This being said, you should make sure to show this in your writing. If your character is very tense and overly shy there might have been something in their life that made them behave like that. It is essential that you also describe the relationship your character has with their parents, siblings or any other people who play a big role in their lives. If your character has a rocky relationship with their father, for example, there is certainly a reason for this.
The history should always be written chronologically. That means you start in the past and move up to the present.
Talk about character's birth and early childhood. Describe anything that is important and influenced your character. Relationships with the family members, some special events can be mentioned here..
Other: I’m not perfect and neither are my charrie sheets. If something doesn’t belong post it here.
