**Personality**

Hal has a generally dark and moody personality, and he's a bit socially awkward due to his Asperger's Syndrome. He has a hard time talking to people and understanding feelings, his own or those of other people. As a child, he was happy and made jokes and, as a general rule, swearing. When he grew up, he ended up depressed, miserable and suicidal. He doesn't like to talk about problems and has a hard time trusting people. He's secretive, easily defensive and gets angry when people make fun of him because when he is upset, he feels anger before sadness. He is uncomfortable with physical contact and his expression rarely changes. He also gets panic attacks when there is too much going on, sensory overload. He is a loner and has no interest in making friends most of the time. He's quiet and cold, usually letting his head rule and ignoring what his heart says.

**Appearance**

Hal has messy dark brown hair that falls over his brown eyes. He is described as having a broken look in his eyes and an awkward way of moving as if he is uncomfortable in his own body. He is small and scrawny, only 4'11 when he is 12. When he is fourteen, he is 5'10 and stops growing. He typically wears ripped black jeans, t-shirts and leather jackets with black boots. He sometimes wears a black beanie, but he usually is wearing a navy blue baseball cap that says "Jersey" on it. He has scars on his wrists from suicide attempts. He has a small scar on his chest and back from being stabbed in The Golden Dynasty. He has a faded tattoo of ice and snowflakes on his left forearm, but there is a scar running lengthwise through it.
