He is unusually perceptive and can pick up when something is wrong with someone he knows, whether he's super familiar with them or barely knows them. No, he isn't psychic; he can just read people well. He isn't a fan of social get-togethers and is awkwardly uncomfortable in new, unknown situations.

He is exceptional at baseball and was proclaimed as a "child prodigy" by his coach at the tender age of eight. This caused his emotionally unstable and slightly alcoholic father to push him way too hard at the sport, and he now wants nothing to do with it anymore. Every time he sees baseball on television, he cringes and immediately changes the channel. He doesn't even like it when people talk about it.

When he was twelve years old, he donated one of his kidneys to his best friend since they met when they were only four. The two of them are inseparable, always have been and always will be. They grew up together, and they are still close.

He is entirely logical and has a hard time accepting things that don't make sense to him. He is sometimes unforgivably stubborn and loves to be right, which just means he can't stand being wrong. He is never one to admit when he doesn't feel well, is exhausted even when it's obvious, or if someone or something has made him upset. He's a "stone wall" in the fact that he has a hard time opening up to people.

Of course, there are exceptions to his "wall-ness" attitude. His best friend has always been there for him no matter what, so he will mention what is wrong, but he never goes into any elaborate detail. His friend will try to help him, but sometimes it doesn't work. His wife of three years is the *main* person he goes to, but it's still sometimes a struggle to get him to open up and know it's okay to feel sad or emotional.

His escape from life is music. He can sit and play the piano, his true passion, for hours and hours on end. He can also play the guitar, drums, alto saxophone, and trumpet. It helps him get his anger and frustration out, and it's easy access.

Looks:
-- Male, 27 years old
-- 5'10"
-- Scrawny
-- Pale
-- Blue eyes
-- Loves to wear beanies and baseball caps
-- Has short, but messy brown hair

Some other aspects about him:
-- He can't live without coffee.
-- He has two older sisters.
-- He truly believes his dad never really loved him.
-- However, his mother always tried to stand up for him.
-- He and his wife met when they were in high school.

Please DO NOT suggest any crazy or too "out there" of names for him. Remember, he was born in the 1980's, so nothing too modern that screams "2013." I like simple, masculine, and handsome names. Please don't list James, Sean, or Zachary. I was personally thinking names like Nick or something. Any ideas?

He seems very deep, so his name should reflect that. Nick seems to...simple. I would suggest Edward because it's modern but still classic-sounding...but it's too Twilight. Christian or Christopher could work. Or Alexander. Michael. Joseph. Maybe Josh but that's not too great.



And it's too bad you don't like James 'cause that's a good one too.

Jordan?

I like the Nick, or Nicholas, but of course Nick is short, basically no difference.

Robert

Richard

Nathaniel

Those are all the names I think are pretty good for a character like that ^-^
