## Biography

Isaac was born in Bella Coola, BC, Canada, to Lea Arkwright and John Lewis.

### Childhood

At the age of 10, Isaac was illegally sitting in the passenger's seat of John's car when they collided with another car in an intersection. In the complications of the wreck, Isaac's foot suffered permanent damage that would lead to an infection. Within the week, he entered surgery to amputate his left leg above the knee.

When it was revealed that John had allowed Isaac to sit in the front seat, ran a red light, and on top of that was having an affair for more than a year, Lea decided to divorce John and fight for custody over Isaac. She easily got it.

#### High school

It took time for Isaac to stop being ashamed of his prosthetic leg. However, the more comfortable he became with it, the more comfortable he became with himself and with the high school environment. People of all cliques enjoyed his company. He was known as a class clown but was still well-read and intelligent.

He was very involved in study body politics, campaigning for other students and eventually himself. His senior year, he was selected Senior Class President.

He was also a member of Science Olympiad, the school paper editor's board, and robotics club.

### Adulthood

One of Isaac's most prominent romantic relationships would be called off due to his infidelity. He and the man, Garrett, had talks of marrying until he found out he was being unfaithful.

## Personality

### Traits

Unforgiving prankster. He likes his wine.

### ENFP

Isaac is an ENFP, otherwise known as the Campaigner.

Approachable. Cooperative. Empathetic. A far-reaching circle of friends. He gets along with pretty much everyone.

He appreciates hands-on experiences. However, he likes an intellectually stimulating concept every once in a while, too. He believes that every shift in sentiment -- every idea, every action -- leads to consequences in a bigger picture. Loves a good discussion about academia or his passions or hobbies.

He's particularly talented at networking. A natural conversationalist who's skilled at both small talk and the deeper, meaningful stuff. Regardless, he isn't all "nature of the cosmos" all the time -- he knows how and when to relax.

He's so idealistic, it's difficult for him to follow through with many of his plans. Difficult for him to focus. Dislikes abiding by strict routine -- spontaneous. Has a tendency to overthink -- which he occasionally "cures" by smoking. Deeply cares for others. Often looked up to for guidance and help -- a good mentor. (But he dislikes rules.)

Wants to be seen as a highly independent master of his own fate. (And loves a good board game.)
