Scars long scar from forehead to cheek on his right eye reason why his right eye is unusable Personality Timid, shy, not easily roused. Tries to stay away for obvious reasons. Prefers to either immerse himself in his job, or stay in his quarters, secluded, passing the time watching old videos of Earth- primarily anime and video gaming videos- and reading books. Bio Although he is young, David has had a hard life. Like everybody onboard Hope, he was born on the ship and had never seen what a real lake, a real sunset, a real garden looked like- all he had to go off of was old videos. His father was a previous ship's cook,and taught David everything he knew about the craft. David's mother died during childbirth- unfortunate, but that's life. Form his earliest years, David was made to be some sort of pariah by the other children due to his size- whereas most people onboard Hope ran the gamut from 6 feet at the shortest at full maturity, David was in his mind cursed to suffer having been taller than nearly everyone in his age group by at least a good 4 inches. The children, they made David's life unbearable, calling him all sorts of hurtful names- if it had to do with his size, his height, or the fact that his mother was no longer alive, they wouldn't hesitate to pick on him for it. His father, bless the man, tried his best to console young David these earliest years- he certainly was a caring man. As he grew, David began to stop caring, keeping mostly to himself. He didn't cause any waves, didn't make any trouble, he never even fought back if he was provoked. The kids still made him feel horrid, and as their brains and bodies grew, so did their insults. Eventually, they would just lose their tempers at David's lack of retaliation, and he would end up taking more fists to the face than he could remember. But through all this, he never fought back. The children would belittle him over his size and weight.... but he never fought back. When they would call him a dirty troll or a motherless waste of life, he never fought back. Even when he was 13 and one child had gotten hold of a piece of broken glass and had all but carved David's right eye out, he never fought back. The scar healed, and though he didn't care that he'd never be able to use that eye again, that night, his face a mess of blood and bandages, he cried more deeply than he ever had before. It was also when he made a resolution- he'd simply stopped caring, and if people were going to abuse him, better to make himself a perceived threat rather than a real one. Not long after, he dyed his hair a deep shade of crimson, started to hit the gym religiously, and began to dress more rebelliously. Years later, this would evolve into having shoulder-length crimson hair, a body like a Greek god, and easily visible tattoos. This, he hoped, would ensure nobody would harm him again. When he was 15, his father decided to teach him about the ways of the Culinarian. It was a release for David, something that he could focus on that ensured he never had to deal with other people and their spiteful words, but at the same time make them happy and make David feel useful. In his own words, It allows a monster like me to make something that, if even only for a moment, is beautiful to everyone. David grew up in seclusion by choice, opting to stay alone and watch old vids from Earth rather than face the outside world. When the young David discovered Anime and Video Games, he was at peace. Books helped, but only these interactive and visual mediums could allow him to truly escape his everyday life and become somebody else. His deepest hope is that if and when Hope arrives at it's destination, he can start anew, a life free from worry and free from other people and their hateful ways. Though I have the shell of a monster, I am human at heart.
