Perry Nook/Recent Events

CURRENTLY:
Perry's feelings of having no direction only grew worse after feeling he no longer belonged in Grapeseed. He couldn't shake the feelings of silent assumptions and shallow accusations behind his back. He only opened up to a few trusted people about how he felt. Over time during his ICU stay he realised that he had been masking and doing things to please others. He got involved in farming because he thought he owed his grandad for sticking by him and supporting him... and though he did love farming, his true passion was the arts and poetry. Something his father had made fun of and belittled him for. Growing out his hair because he had never been allowed to grow it long, wearing clothes that he actually liked and taking up the pen... In loosing his legs finally he starting rediscovering something deeper he thought he had lost long ago. Others who never bothered to talk to him didn't see it that way. In their eyes Perry was turning away from what THEY thought was best for him.
Of course, as some tragic stories must play out, just as Perry was slowly peeling off the mask and showing pieces of his true self, his life was lost after being murdered by Hawke. In Perry's eyes Ork was still in there and since Hawke and Ork occupied the same body, Perry chose not to hurt him when he was kidnapped. He tried to talk, hoping that he could reach Ork. Sadly, it was not meant to be.
He died via blunt force trauma to the head and drowning.
RECENT HISTORY:
* After becoming paralyzed and having had both legs amputated bellow the knee; Perry stayed in the city ICU for a few months. He wanted to become strong and recover as best he could so thought it was best. However, people in the county thought he was being influenced by Bryce and the others, forgetting that Perry was still in the city to recover. This hurt Perry. The doubt and stares and snide remarks reminded him of his home town and gossip... 
* After the drag night, Perry realised he quite liked being a bit more groomed and so started to do his eyebrows and tidy his body hair a lot more. Might even start wearing some eye liner ;3
* Due to serious injury, Perry had to stop farm labor which led to vices cropping up. He was BORED and farming, doing stuff with his hands and being creative with art and poetry had a way to focus him. With farming out of the picture for a while, he started taking part in activities that would DEFINTELY dissapoint Harold.
* He still has nightmares from when Brandi went missing. Searching non-stop everyday during that time while many people didn't seem to care took a huge toll on him. Any time he doesn't know where Brandi is when she runs off in an emotional state, triggers him badly. 
* He has therapy session with Dr. Nycole Green and has been prescribed marajuana for his anxiety and PTSD. He insists he doesn't relay on it now, but a bunch of people have questioned him. 
* Perry has tried cocain and acid out of curiosity. Unfortunatly, he really enjoyed the acid trip because of the creative boost it gave him. The art he made after the trip was WILD.
* He currently feels like he has to toughen up. He isn't strong enough to deal with life on the island. His friends have told him to never stop wanting to be soft, but after all the events that have happened so far, he doesn't believe it. He has taken self defence classes with the Vespucci Queens and made friends with folks that are clearly gang related and criminal, partially because he prefers to judge people by their own merit, and partially because having strong friends might help protect him and the people he cares for.
* Farmer's Friends is doing very well, but because he is major distraction-seeking mode, he hasn't worked at the truck as much as he should. People seem to give him a pass, so he hasn't felt bad about it.
