Basic Stats
Full Name: Silas Avery Harlow

Aliases and Nicknames: Sometimes goes by Avery online for anonymity.

Gender: Male

Ethnicity: English and French roots

Blood Type: B+

Age: 19

Birthdate: 23 March [Aries]

Birthplace: San Diego, California

Hometown: San Diego, California

Languages: English, some French

Occupation: College student

Appearance
HEIGHT: 5'7" / 172cm

WEIGHT: 130lb / 61kg

Body: A bit on the smaller side; naturally lean and slim-waisted, making his hip- and collarbones more prominent features than his boyish muscles. Very modestly toned, as he doesn't work out much. The softer look seems to flatter him, however, as he still looks pleasantly slender and shapely without clothes on. Modest (but cute) butt; makes up for it with appealing thighs and a graceful waist/hipline.

Hair: Slightly thick, wavy if it gets long enough; medium-light ash brown in color. He keeps it pretty short these days, usually just long enough to cover part of his ears or sometimes get in his eyes.

Eyes: Green: a hazel-y sort with flecks of warm colors when seen in the light, but not especially bright on their own, even a little muddy. Very deep-set and heavily-lidded, good "bedroom eyes", made for giving heated stares. He can give some pretty nasty looks; hard to tell sometimes if he has a bitchy resting face or he's just that moody all the time.

Skin: Not   very  tan, usually, but living by the beach in California will keep a certain sunkissed glow on anyone. He's blessed with healthy skin (though he still suffers occasional acne if he's not careful) but it's not entirely unblemished; he's covered pretty thoroughly in beauty marks, most noticeably all over his torso. Very subtle freckles along his nose and shoulders, too, if you look closely.

Voice: Typical Californian accent. Usually light in tone, and not especially deep besides; a bit boyish. Has a playful edge to his voice much of the time, good for teasing and sassy quips. His laugh is similar and is often contagious (and especially adorable when he's drunk). Surprisingly appealing to listen to sometimes.

Clothing: <span style="font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;">His moods shift often when it comes to his wardrobe. One day he'll be wearing rumpled (sometimes skinny-) jeans and a simple band tee, and the next he'll be dolled up in something like capris, v-neck shirts, and near-girly sweaters. He doesn't like to appear especially flamboyant or girlish, but he has "broad" tastes, and can often be caught wearing something from the women's department either way. It suits him, thanks to his modest build. Lots of beige, white, and other neutral colors, but wears bright shirts often. He seems to have a fondness for plaid: pants and sweaters, mostly.

Additional: <span style="font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;">Pierced his ear in high school, the upper cartilage on the right side; usually keeps an inconspicuous stud in it, but might put in a ring on his dressier days. The left side of his bottom lip is pierced as well, but he doesn't wear anything in it anymore. Also, he's very particular about self-grooming; he shaves his legs and other choice areas regularly. Face is always smooth (though he doesn't grow much hair there anyway).

Background
About the character's life history.

Lovers

 * Luca Bellini (Love Bite): vampire husband boyfriend. Started out as "vampire attacker", but, well, shit escalated in weird ways.

Friends

 * Alexander "Lex" Antonov: best friend and ex-roommate. They've been more or less glued together since they met in middle school. Definitely one of the most important people in Silas's life; he felt pretty guilty about moving out to live with Luca. They never dated, per se, but they've always been extremely close, emotionally and, well, physically.

Family

 * Susanna Boiselle: mother.
 * Nicholas Harlow: father.

Pets

 * Isabella: Collie baby. Loves her very much and walks her every day. She's a mama's girl. (Guess who's the mama.)

Housing
Lives with Luca in his nice two-story townhouse with their child, Isabella.

Additional Info and Trivia

 * Intense love for music, and pretty talented with a guitar. Doesn't usually go more than a day without playing.
 * Secretly a pretty good dancer. Doesn't usually do that unless he's alone or he's been drinking, though.
 * Seems like a lazy asshole a lot of the time, but actually has a lot of energy to spare, and if he doesn't get it out somehow during the day he'll get pretty restless. (Unsurprisingly, sex is one of his favorite ways to burn that energy.)
