## Description

### Appearance

Byron has short blonde hair that he has always kept short, fearing that growing it out when he was younger might draw more unwanted attention from those with malicious intent and having no desire to grow it out now that he is older. Though he can grow facial hair, it is hardly anything impressive; he took after his mother's side of the family, where the men who do grow facial hair tend to have very thin beards and mustaches, so Byron prefers to keep himself cleanshaven. He has clear blue eyes and short lashes, a square jaw and a defined nose.

Byron likes to maintain his physique, which is to say that his form is well-built and rather firm with muscle, though he wouldn't consider himself buff. He has no tattoos or prominent scars, though he does have a small pockmarked scar on his left ankle from an incident in primary school in which said ankle was broken. He did also have his ears pierced for a time, but got lazy about putting in earrings, and the holes have since closed up.

### Personality

Byron comes across as cheerful, outgoing and positive. He likes to be around people, and he has a smile as wide and bright as the sun. He is a confident presence that people tend to gravitate towards. He paves his own way forward, since there hasn't been any other path for him to follow that suited him, and for that, there is an air of leadership about him. He is also a flirt, and rather good at charming people with his words, seducing people with his glances.

All of this suave façade hides, however, a deeply anxious and insecure individual. Byron's front is just that: a mask that he constructed over his years in middle and high school to hide how inadequate he feels, deep down. But he's so good at pretending, and the mask has only slipped once, very briefly, and then he was back to being his confident, self-assured self. He is very determined to keep his innermost weakness to himself.

## Biography

### Pre-RP

Byron was born in Aarhus, Denmark and lived there with his parents and siblings until he was four years old, at which point his family moved to Shawrose City. Most of Byron's family still lives in Aarhus, while some of them are scattered across Germany or Sweden or even live in Shawrose themselves, such as in the case of his uncle Marius.

In middle school, Byron began questioning his sexuality. In an attempt to prove to himself that he was just like everyone else, he tried to get himself a girlfriend in Loni Haybarger-Thakkar. After school one day, they shared a kiss, which Byron didn't enjoy. It worked out, however; Loni came to Byron the next day and confessed to him that she was a lesbian, and from that point forward, they became fast friends.

Byron dated several boys throughout middle and high school, a fact which he tried his best to hide from his parents. Unfortunately, he was caught in the middle of a sexual encounter with one such boyfriend by his older brother, Matthias, who tattled on him to their parents. Since then, Byron's relationship with his older brother and parents alike has been more strained.

Shortly following his graduation from high school, with his newfound freedom, Byron took to the rave scene, drawn by the flashing lights and the pounding music and the hedonism of it all. As is common at raves, he would experiment with drugs and alcohol, and for a time, that was what he lived for: the moments he could let go of it all in a room full of like-minded strangers. This changed one night, after one particular rave that he'd been invited to by Mickey Caron. He took a drug while at this rave, and that's about all he remembers. He awoke the next morning with a bunch of social media notifications and a text from Mickey simply saying, "I'm so sorry." Byron found that the same video of him had been reposted everywhere, dozens of times over: a video in which he was being gangbanged at the rave by about six different men. It was a violating experience, since he didn't even remember that happening, and he hasn't been to a rave since.

It was far more difficult for Byron to come to terms with the fact that he is polyamorous than anything else. This is because not a single one of his romantic partners was ever accepting of this lifestyle, up until he met and started dating his current boyfriend, Levi Lock. His simultaneous relationship with Killian Ashford is his first real step into the world of polyamory.

## Abilities

* **Sandskin**: Byron is, technically, made of sand. He can will his body to turn into sand at any point in time, and he tends to shed sand everywhere without meaning to.
* **Sleep Aura**: Byron can give off an aura that puts people to sleep. He can direct this aura like an invisible bullet in order to target specific people more intensely and put them to sleep.

* Marius Koskinen

Byron has always felt more of a kinship with his younger brother than with any of his other siblings, a fact which began to make more sense to him as Casper grew up and eventually started opening up to him about his sexuality. Of course: Casper, like him, was attracted to men, and in a household like the one that the Norr siblings grew up in, that wasn't a good thing to be. For a time, they were silently unified under the umbrella of this shared secret.

When Byron was outed to his parents and it didn't go over well, he offered himself as a refuge to Casper, should he ever need to confide in someone who would understand him. He knew not only that Casper had no one else, but that if his parents ever found out about Casper, things would be much harder for him. Over time, Byron came to find comfort in Casper, as well, in that he was the only one within his family he could talk to about his relationship struggles or his feelings about his sexuality.

Byron also feels very protective over his younger brother, a sentiment that he shares with their older brother, Matthias.

* Levi Lock
* Killian Ashford

Levi came as a surprise, to Byron. Originally nothing more than his roommate, Byron could hardly deny that he was very physically attracted to Levi, but didn't think much of it until a game of Never Have I Ever, where Levi surprised him by flirting back with him, and it wasn't long before they fell into bed together. More than that, however, Byron was caught completely by surprise by how quickly their sexual relationship became a true romantic connection, and how quickly after that he fell for Levi.

Levi is the first of Byron's romantic partners who is accepting of his polyamorous lifestyle, a fact which he appreciates greatly. His priority will always be to ensure that Levi feels comfortable and cared for in their relationship, but is delighted to finally be able to experiment with dating multiple people at once.

* Mickey Caron
* Loni Haybarger-Thakkar

Mickey is who Byron turns to for fun. Byron was raised in a strict household, while Mickey was raised in a messy household, and the two of them have been seriously deprived of having fun throughout their lives. And what better way to do that than to get drunk and put on makeup and dance with strangers? Mickey is Byron's go-to party companion.

There's also an unspoken understanding between the two of them that they are each other's vacation from an otherwise dark and serious world, and that they are never to ask the other about what is weighing on them in the moment. Their relationship is built on light things on a background of heavy things, and the heavy things are to remain in the background.

Loni was, perhaps, Byron's first real friendship. The two were for each other the very same thing: concrete evidence that they never had and likely never would be attracted to the opposite gender. From that sentiment spawned a kinship that could not be broken by time or distance, and regardless of how long it may have been since they last spoke, when they meet up, the conversation always flows easily between them.

More than that, however, the two helped each other throughout their high school years, complimenting each other in ways that surprised them. Loni, who was shy and quiet, benefited from Byron's more cheerful and outgoing nature, while Byron, who was far too good at pretending to be happy all the time, benefited from Loni's emotional honesty.
