Clothing style
The Texan's never been big on clothing; he wears what he wants when he wants. Most find him wearing greens, blues, grays, and a fine collection of leather and accessories, such as necklaces and bracelets. He also likes plaid and flannel. Ripped jeans and work boots also make up his wardrobe.
Basic appearance
Avan's a pretty big guy, toned by hard muscles. His face is handsome, with a tight jaw and well structured nose, skin tanned. His light brown hair is often worn in a tousled fashion, naturally spiking up a little bit on the top. Avan's overall look could be described as 'rugged' in a way, considering he leaves a thin layer of stubble on his chin and jawline, wearing hard leathers. When allowed, Avan loves to wear his cowboy hat and boots, but when teaching he normally goes for a more 'simple' look. His light Texan accent also adds to his cowboy-ish charm.
personality
Avan has an adventuresome spirit. He's attracted to motorcycles, airplanes, sky diving, surfing, etc. He thrives on action, and is usually fearless. Avan tends to be fiercely independent, needing to have the space to make his own decisions about his next step. He does not believe in or follow rules and regulations, as he would prohibit his ability to "do his own thing". His sense of adventure and desire for constant action makes him prone to becoming bored rather quickly.
Avan is loyal to his causes and beliefs, and is a firm believer that people should be treated with equity and fairness. Although he does not respect the rules of the "System", he follows his own rules and guidelines for behavior faithfully.
Avan is actually excellent in a crisis situations. He is a good athlete, and has very good hand-eye coordination. He is good at following through with a project, and tying up loose ends. He is normally a patient individual, although he may be prone to occasional emotional outbursts due to his inattention to his own feelings.
Avan is a action-oriented person. He likes to be up and about, doing things. He is not person to sit behind a desk all day and do long-range planning. Adaptable and spontaneous, he responds to what is immediately before him. He usually has strong technical skills, and can be a effective technical leader. He focus's on details and practical things. He has an excellent sense of expediency and grasp of the details which enables him to make quick, effective decisions.
When Avan is over-stressed he may exhibit rash emotional outbursts of anger, or on the other extreme may be overwhelmed by emotions and feelings which he may feel compelled to share with people (often inappropriately). At times when Avan is down on himself he will foray into the world of value judgments and judge himself by his inability to perform some task. He will then approach the task in a grim emotional state, expecting the worst.
When teaching, may describe Avan as a good-natured, easy going teacher with a knack for sarcasm and unusual experiments. At times though, Avan can have quite the temper, and when he asks for something to be done, he expects it to be done the very first time he asks it; no arguments or anything of the sort, because it might result in a detention or a good long chew out which often includes lots of swearing.
Sexually, Avan approaches intimacy as a physical act rather than an expression of love and affection. He is a earthy and sensual being who enthusiastically experience sex with all five senses. He brings spontaneity, creativity, and enthusiasm into the bedroom, and enjoys new experiences. Since aesthetic beauty has such strong appeal to him, he appreciates the "setting", i.e. bedding, lingerie, cologne, etc.
If Avan doesn't like you, you'll know it from the start. It won't sugar-coat his opinions or thoughts, and will bluntly tell you how he feels about you. Too many, Avan comes off as an arragant rude axx hole that thinks about no one but himself. If he likes you, you'll get the chance to see his more fun-loving and sweet side.
& phobias
Melissophobia : Fear of bears
Ever since a horrific accident in his life, Avan has been terrified of bears; at times even pictures can set him off. His scars are a reminder of the incident, and he tries to bear them confidently, but it becomes difficult sometimes, even if the mauling took place eight years ago.
Nosocomephobia- Fear of hospitals.
Avan hates hospitals. Period. They bring back too many painful memories; when his mother was dying of lung cancer, when he almost lost his own life, etc.
& the good
!Adventurous!
Avan loves to have a good time, and loves to do anything that is spontaneous or risky. He'll try anything new as long as it interests him, and has a knack for exploring and learning things wherever he goes. Avan has a knack for stirring up trouble just to get an adrenaline rush and enjoy the thrill of the situation; its hard too have a dull moment with Avan.
Joker
Avan is always making a humorous statement, or cracking jokes. Witty remarks and smart-ass comments also consist of his joker-light attitude. Many find his upbeat and fun persona a joy to be around.
Good Listener
Even if he may come off as a rude jerk, Avan is actually very caring and a good listener when given the opportunity.
& the ugly
Rude & Blunt
'Asshole' is a good word to describe Avan if you don't know him very well. His rude, blunt, and straight forward behavior is a bit offensive and lacks shame. If he doesn't like you, he'll tell you without sugar coating it, and tell you exactly what he dislikes about you. This has led him to have a bit of a bad reputation among some people.
Expressing Emotions
When it comes to dishing out his true deep and internal feelings, Avan sucks at it. Its as if some wall has been put up inside him and he can't seem too break it down. He'll often put on a fake mask and display fake moods and emotions to hide the true part of himself.
Overly Private
Avan hate's talking about his personal life. Period. Unless he really likes and trust you, he won't tell you squat about his private life that he has. In truth, for Avan its a sensitive subject and when someone tries to ask him about it, he'll change the topic or lash out.

past
Family members
Father. Mark Roy Warren; 47; Owns a cattle and horse ranch outside Houston.
Long story short, Avan and his father do not get along period. On very rare occasions they can tolerate one anther's company and be laid back and calm, but mainly they fight, argue, and disagree completely with one another; like an out of control roller coaster that never seems to end. Avan never talks about his father; when the topic comes up, he brushes it off and changes the subject. He hates seeing people with picture perfect parents, because its what he wishes he had. But then again, you can't always get what you want.
Mother. Ellie June Warren; deceased
Avan loves his mother with all his heart, even if she's gone. He had had always had a special bond with her; she was the one he went too when he was feeling out of place. After her death, a part of Avan fell to pieces. He still talks to her when he's alone, and tries to do what he thinks his mother would want from him, even if his judgment isn't always the best.
Brother. Forrest Mark Warren; 18 ; student
Avan and his brother get along like normal siblings. They like one another, to an extent. Forrest has his friends, and Avan has his; they don't spend a lot of time together, and therefore they don't know each other very well. The thought frustrates Avan, because he knows he'll never be the big brother both of them wanted.
Hometown Houston, Texas (lived outside the city)
History
Avan grew up on a ranch outside of Houston with his father and mother, and his little brother Forrest when he was born, when Avan was eight. His family is upper class, even if he doesn't like to say it. When he was younger, Avan would help his father around the ranch; stacking bales of hay, training horses, herding cattle, etc. He knew how to ride a horse by the time he was seven, and as he got older he entered a few rodeos; at one point when he was sixteen he entered the rodeo wanting to try riding a bucking mustang, and ended up getting bucked off and breaking his arm, but in Avan's mind, it was worth it.
When Avan turned ten, his mother fell very ill, and was diagnosed with lung cancer. It didn't really surprise the doctors, for Avan's mother had been smoking since she was fifteen. She was a upbeat and caring woman, with a passion for animals, which was the reason she was a veterinarian. She died on May 21st, a month before Avan's eleventh birthday. He had had self esteem and emotional troubles before her death, but after her passing it grew worse and worse, and his father wasn't much of a help, considering he become bitter and stubborn over the years after Ellie's death. He then went into counseling, which helped slightly, along with being prescribed anti-depressants to ease his troubled mind.
When Avan was seventeen, him and a few friends went camping, which resulted in Avan getting mauled by a bear, leading him to have a horrific fear of bears and anything to do with hospitals. The incident left him with gory scars all over his back, left shoulder, side, hip and thigh. He had to go through three years of physical therapy, and yet still sometimes his shoulder and hip begin to ache and feel strained, which he has pain killers for.
