Biography:
Physical Appearance: When someone said Forest looked ridiculously handsome, they were not far from being correct. To the average person he looks beyond gorgeous, with his short, spiked, blonde hair, which is only accented further by his gorgeous, midnight eyes. The combination give him an almost godly glow, and people appreciate it - because it is a real thing of beauty. To further his gorgeous appearance, he has a medium sized body, which is well toned with muscles from over the years. On top of all the rest, his fair skin brings out his key features, showing off his excellent cheek bones and his gorgeous nose, as odd as that may sound, and his gorgeous dimples.
At first glance he seems nothing more than a scrawny person that has clearly ignored physical exercise for the sake of obsessing over being boring and ordinary, or for the dedication of time that he gives his work. That assumption would be wrong, because under all his designer clothes and his fancy jackets - Forest actually has a very sexy, toned body that is riddled with muscles. This is from constant dedication to his sports and working out in the woods, when he has nothing better to do. Of course they are not bulky, they are compact, tight fitted to his body to show off as something gorgeous, as opposed to being large and grotesque. His body is just the perfect size too, weight wise - not being to large or to small, but being at an appropriate 'in-between' marker.
Style is something that he definitely posses, and whatever he may lack in the skill is easily fixed by his female friends. He tries to keep with the current fashion, like most teens, well when he can. Of course there are some fashions that he can clearly pick out as distasteful to him, but with that being said - he has found his own sense of fashion, which is rather comfortable with a slight hint of athleticism, yet posh and quite easy on the eyes. Everything he wears is designer and accents each and every aspect of his body, to the point that the theory of him being a god or model almost seems entirely true. Between his looks and his fashion sense and his body, he seems to be a knock down drag 'em out - and that is something he is proud of.
Personality: Honestly, Forest is the kind of guy to pick you up when you're down, not kick you like most people would. He is one of the few 'good' people left in the world and it is truly rare to come by. He tends to be a very fun guy to be around, except when he gets angry. He has a short fuse and can easily blow up when the wrongs thing are said. Of course he has some weird obsessions with animals, not anything sexual or corrupt - he just loves certain animals to no extent - like the wolf and lion, probably because they are powerful. He is a bit paranoid, constantly feeling like someone is watching him - which freaks him out, but he replaces his constant feeling of paranoia with a weird arrogant like point of view. And he is fine, unless someone points out that he really isn't sane - then it is a non fun time for everyone around him. His only guidance comes from law enforcement, the faculty in school and by whoever leads the current pack he is in. But he is also impossibly protective of the people he cares about, even going into sacrificing his own life to keep them safe.
Above all else he is someone that you would require on a bad day, just because of his overwhelming, not constant, positive energy. If you've had a bad day just look for him, because he is a total sweetheart and can easily make you laugh. His niceness goes to a point that it is beyond overwhelming, and when it gets annoying - you can't help but laugh, because he is that lovable of a person. Once you get past his semi-elitist like ways, you can get down to the core of the husk of a man that is Forest, and find an innocent, loving soul that just needs friends and lovers to keep him occupied. His life is meaningless without people that care about him, and people for him to care about - so he is definitely searching for people that will do those things for him, so he can in turn do them for those people.
He is actually a kind person, showing extensive signs of his caring nature and affection to his friends, and his family - prior to the problems he encountered with them. Above all else he is a perfections and strives for that academically and athletically, even if it is just a recreational club sport - he doesn't care. Forest is one of those people that doesn't believe in giving anything but one-hundred percent, and then some to the cause. He is very dedicated to anything he does and has a tremendous amount of loyalty to those he cares about and that deserve it - so he would never dare to back down from sticking up for them, or defending them. But with such a huge ego comes a rather small sense of elitism, where he believes he is somewhat better than everyone else, but is quickly snapped out of it. On another note, he is a sweet person that would do anything to make someone smile, but also gets into a lot of problems because of his bravery, which is to large for his own good. But with his depressive moods also comes a point where he just shuts himself off from people and doesn't go to work or talk to anyone, which is incredibly unhealthy.
History: He grew up in the quaint town of Vail, Arizona - to live a simple life. Leading a life of wealth, well not immense but a great deal of it, he went on to go to private schools and what not. His life was a tad bit sheltered being that he never knew about murdering and typical things like that, until he was about seven or eight. After a few years of living in Vail more specifically ten years, his father was offered a job elsewhere, which was closer to San Francisco, California so they gladly accepted and moved. Even if he had protested, his parents didn't care - they were excited for their big move to the new city.
Life went on as expected here, still living a somewhat wealthy life - but constantly being hung over with an odd shadow. From the get go he could tell that his father had begun to dislike him and it was a growing suspicion. Things were different from there on out and he believed that his family hated him and became very paranoid. Soon after that the depression hit him and he began to see a psychiatrist to help him with his problems. After he was given anti-depressants his life went back to normal and he returned to his middle school as a normal kid, again. At that time he was able to focus more on sports and spend most of his time with friends and playing football - which kept him away from his father.
From that day forward he was permanently in a state of paranoia because he thought his parents wanted a divorce and that they hated him. He never got over that fact and was constantly reminded that he was not worth his father's time. Keeping to himself and occasionally seeing a psychiatrist, he manged to get back into the groove of things - without being entirely awkward. As time went on, he filled that empty void of his 'paranoia with his parents,' with constantly working out and participating in athletics. As the years progressed, he started to read up on myths and supernatural creatures - thoroughly studying them all, including the vampire - and that one in particular. Even if he was in denial, it didn't mean that he entirely shunned their existence, so he wished to research them more.
Being a sort of jock, he had plenty of opportunities and was at the top of the social ladder, but that seemed to not really matter after he entered his senior year. At the end of his junior year his parents threw him out of his house, leaving him on his own with only his job as a little league coach to claim as his own. He saved up enough money and bought an apartment at the halfway point between school and his job so he could walk or ride a bike to both. He found out later that his parents died in a car crash and he received a large sum of money via the inheritance from their death. He was able to get a cheap car and still have is money to spruce up his apartment. Now he had to finish up his senior year and get college sorted, or so he thought.
How he became a werewolf was totally unexpected, well, so he thought. He was at a party one night and had a few too many to drink and decided he was still sober enough to drive. Upon entering the highway he was hit by a car, because he clearly had slowed down reflexes, but he kept trying to drive, swerving and then he went off a bridge - killing his passengers. Nobody knew it was him, nobody looked for the car. After he killed them he immediately noticed he triggered something, and he had remembered reading something about it in his grandfather's journal - he was a werewolf now. With that he took all of his money and his SUV and loaded his motorcycle and other possessions into it. Now it was his time to drive around the country.
He graduated online, because he couldn't return to his hometown - so he got his diploma at some high school in Mississippi. From there on out he began to bounce from state to state, trying to be in different packs - but it just didn't work out. From multiple falling outs he began to search for other places, but it just wasn't cutting it. Eventually he found himself in Mystic Falls, Virginia - and it seemed pretty great, somewhere he could stay. The money he had received had been far more than he had ever hoped, so he was literally rich - so he found a foreclosure on a big house and decided to buy it. With an extensive line of credit that his parents had established for him, and his money in hand - he began to furnish the house, hoping it would feel like home.
He is now living in The Falls and is enrolled at the local college, hoping to finish up his degree in Orthopedic Surgery. He hasn't been in it long, so he is relatively new. He is just hoping that this town is better than any other one he has lived in.
Example RP: Forest had never been one to really pay attention to his surroundings, so he wouldn't have noticed her even studying, if he hadn't looked down. In that instant he felt sort of bad, not completely, but enough that he felt the need to apologize. "Sorry.. Didn't see you were studying." He said in a sort of apologetic tone, before scratching the back of his head. She was nice about it, at least. That was all he could think about. A normal girl might have gotten angry and hit him with the book, but it might have just been a pack thing - comfort in numbers. Because to be honest, Forest felt at ease when he was around them and he was hoping he didn't make any of them nervous, because he would do anything he could to change that fact.
"It's going pretty well. I've made a conscientious decision, for the well being of my sister and I, to stay in Mystic Falls. We're both happier here." He says sort of proudly as he indicates where his sister is sitting in the booth with his thumb, as he turns to see her leaning over it, a bright smile across her face. As he looked back down he noticed her Biology book among other things, which meant she was studying for her finals, obviously. The few times he had actually gone onto the Mystic Falls Community College campus he hadn't really met anyone, well, yea, for the most part. There were faces that were insignificant and he exchanged hellos with some people and asked for directions. That is how he had known that redhead that he had seen during the fireworks during the Founder's Festivities. But he quickly regained his composure and smiled down at her. "What about you? I mean besides the fact that you have to study for finals." In the time he had been in town he had never seen Kendra at MFCC so he was curious as to what she was majoring in, because he could swear if she was in Biology that he would have seen her at least once or twice.
