## Personality

Seems to be brooding and angry all the time, but it's just his resting face.  Can be quick to annoy, but rarely does he get angry.  Overall a very happy person -- simple and easy to please.  A bit of a workaholic, he likes to keep himself busy and moving around.  Straightforward and to the point, he doesn't like wasting time beating around the bush.  Tactless when it comes to interacting with people and reading the mood of the situation -- a serial mood killer who's completely oblivious to his own doing.  This usually causes the situation to get really awkward or create misunderstandings.  He's fairly sensitive and emotional but has great difficulty expressing them outwardly.  Struggles the most with expressing affection in a way that others accept it as a genuine gesture.  Enjoys being alive and living his life.

## Background

Seth was born in Tijuana, Mexico.  A few weeks after his first birthday, his mother went missing and her body was found in a burning car that seemingly appeared to have fallen off the side of a cliff.  The death was ruled an accident and the case was closed rather swiftly. His father remarried not too long afterward and the family immigrated to the United States to Chula Vista, California when Seth was around 3 years old.  He doesn’t remember too much about his mother since he was too young when the incident happened but, he isn’t too hung up about her or her death.

Life onwards was quite average and uneventful.  Seth didn't have any burning desires or dreams to achieve in his life and was wholly content with just enjoying what life had to offer day by day.  Upon entering elementary school, he didn't mesh too well with the other kids since they found him too serious and hard to mingle with.  There was another outcasted kid in the same grade called Hal who was deemed too eccentric and aggro.  The two initially became fast friends and clung to each other since they only really had each other for company, but soon realized that they were more compatible than they had thought.  The two drifted through their youth as if they were tethered to one another.  Although they weren't necessarily together all the time, they were always within each other's reach.  Eventually, both managed to graduate from high school and entered the same college together.   Hal dropped out after a year while Seth continued his studies and graduated with a Computer Science degree.  He had trouble landing a job within the field of his degree nor did he have any passion to pursue it in the first place.  So, Seth drifted from job to job and tried many things, never staying in one place for too long.  One day he received a call out of the blue from Hal asking if he wanted to work at the pet store that he was currently working at.  Seth agreed and has been working there for the last 3 or so years, the longest he's ever held a job.

The pet store he currently works at is one that specializes in reptiles, best known for carrying exotic snakes.  It's run by an older lady named Eunice who is a certified herpetologist.  The storefront is attached to a house that Eunice, Hal, and Seth all live in together.  Seth is in charge of stocking items, taking care of the animals, and occasionally helping out at the check out when Hal or Eunice isn't there.  More recently, through Eunice's suggestion, the trio started venturing into making a business out of snake milking (extracting venom out of snakes) on the side.  Hal does most of the grunt work of extracting the venom while Seth helps out with organizing and preserving the collected venom.  Neither of them are certified to do this and the business isn't exactly legal.  They're just really good at handling the animals.  Once the snake milking business started to take off, it brought in a significant increase in income for the trio.

Seth learned once he moved into the shared house that Hal had become a serious hoarder at some point between the last time he had seen him and had also developed a serious addiction to splurging.  Hal would drop a lot of dough for random expensive items just for the sake of getting that high/thrill of spending a large sum of money.  He usually doesn't care for any of the items and/or gets bored of them quickly so it just piles up in his room and starts to creep into other parts of the house on some days.  And thus, Seth's purging war began.  One day on one of his routine room purges, Seth discovered a letter with what looked like a luxury vacation brochure to New York City.  Upon questioning, he found out that this was, to no surprise, the result of another one of Hal's splurges.  Apparently, it was an exclusive and limited voucher that allowed the holder to have a dream-like vacation for a month in NYC that Had won from a premium auction site he frequents.  But the presentation of the paper package looked like it was designed to fit in the party section of the dollar store that Seth was convinced that Hal was scammed.  Seth blew up and had enough of Hal's shit.  He probably yelled something like "I can't fuckin' believe you spent $$$$$$ for a piece of paper???? *I*NEED A VACATION, BYE."  He snatched the brochure and clouded by anger, he stormed to the nearest travel agency to try his hand on getting any sort of refund.  But, he discovers that the brochure was actually legit and receives a ticket to NYC and is like oh shit what.  A bunch of gaudily dressed guides show up out of no where, a limo drives up, and Seth is whisked away to the airport.  And to NYC HE GOES.  He's currently in NYC and not entirely sure if this is the real life or if this is fantasy------ but since he's there for the month, all expenses paid (thanks Hal, I guess)... might as well explore.

## Trivia

* Has a corgi called Chicken.
* The tattoos on his arms weren't his idea.  Hal somehow convinced him to be the canvas for a tattoo artist he wanted to commission (another one of his $$$$ splurging sprees).  Seth felt like he went through the circles of hell there and back 69 times during the session -- only his soul screamed while he sat there with his back straight and motionless like the Moai statues.  The tattoo artist was very impressed.
* Shaved his eyebrows once in the past in an attempt to make them less furrowed, but it made him look more like a thug.  He's been a wee bit self-conscious about his brows since then.
* Rarely uses social media.  Prefers to call or meet in person.
* Modelled for a budget men's underwear brand at some point.  You might've seen a print of his lower torso plastered on a package of briefs in the underwear section.
* Out of all the odd jobs, he's found himself working for various different moving companies.
* Has a thing for ankles(?????)  Thinks they are nice to look at, he's not sure why.
* Just a dude, honestly.
