• Appearance

  At 6'1", broad-shouldered, and with an impeccable posture, Bedu stands tall and impressive, but his facial features are soft and kind. He has a natural charm, and despite his quiet nature people can't help but to be drawn to him. He's quite attractive as well; with his messy blond hair, light brown skin tone, good physique, and a million-dollar smile, it's certainly not just his charm that attracts people.
  
  He's not exactly a fashionista. His clothes are simple, and he usually wears hoodies, jeans, and sneakers. To the amusement of his friends, he'll even wear hoodies during the summer. This has a reason: he has prosthetic arms. Sure, his prosthetic hands are still visible, but at least this way he can pretend his disability isn't there. That, and he will attract a lot less attention from strangers this way.

  
  

  • Facial features: His face is oval-shaped with a strong jawline, thick, expressive eyebrows, and a slightly large nose. His eyes are narrow and slightly almond-shaped, and are a stunning shade of steel blue which can often be perceived as grey. They are one of the first things most people notice about him, along with his straw blond hair. His skin is soft and smooth, almost free of any blemishes besides a couple of scars and birthmarks.
  • Notable features: His eyes, and the contrast between his hair and the color of his skin. Also his prosthetics, despite his many efforts to keep them hidden to the best of his ability. They're incredibly high-tech, and even if they weren't, it would still be shocking to see both of his arms replaced by prosthetics.
  • Body type: Somewhere between ectomorph and mesomorph. Rectangular body shape, almost like a plank.
  • Body modifications: None, apart from a pierced ear. He barely ever wears the piercing, though.
  • Scars: A lot of small ones, stemming from when he was young. He was a wild child, always climbing into trees and getting into trouble, which occasionally went wrong, resulting in those scars.
  • Diet: He's not picky. He's a broke college student, he eats whatever he can get his hands on. He's always running on caffeine, though. He's got the added bonus of having a fast metabolism; he can eat his weight in food, and still barely gain any weight.
  • Style: Simple. Hoodies, jeans, and sneakers, maybe an occasional sweater. Always wears long-sleeved clothes to hide his prosthetics.
  • Scent: Old Spice deodorant or some cologne. Has a very pleasant natural scent. His hair often smells of vanilla or raspberry shampoo.
  • Health: Physically, very good. He rarely gets sick, and when he does, it's not too bad, and over in a couple of days. Mentally, also good, apart from the occasional nightmare or flashback about the event in which he lost his arms.

• Personality

  Around strangers, Bedu is shy and quiet. He has a very hard time making eye contact with people, and as such, he often comes across as awkward. If he doesn't know someone too well, he'll let them lead the conversation, only speaking up to answer questions. Despite this, though, he has a natural charm to him that people can't seem to resist. Most leave, disappointed, after being shut out by him, but others stay around long enough for him to open up around them.
  
  When he's opened up to someone, he's a completely different person. With friends, he's fun to be around, and quite funny, even if his jokes are pretty lame. His friends know how passionate of a person he is, and how he'll do anything to achieve his goals. You don't even have to be one of his friends to see this side of him. Just bring up music in a conversation and you'll be able to see the way his eyes light up, how he'll excitedly start babbling about his favorite thing in the world. His passion and dedication to music is one of the reasons his friends like him so much, and one of the most endearing things about him.
  
  Shy and quiet as Bedu is, he still tries to be kind to others. He'll smile at strangers passing him on the street, and he'll go out of his way to treat everyone with equal respect. Sometimes he can act fairly angry or annoyed, especially when he's stressed out, but he'll always make sure to apologize afterwards.
  
  All in all, he may be shy, quiet, and awkward as hell, but his passion, dedication, and kindness is what seems to draw people towards him. Talk to him about music, and you'll probably be friends with him forever.

  
  

  • Strengths: He is thick skinned, and there's not much you can say to him that will faze him. Additionally, he's very kind, and often goes out of his way to help others. He's creative, very empathetic, optimistic, and hopeful. He often shows great perseverance and determination.
  • Weaknesses: He's often too empathetic, and can feel guilty over the smallest things, even if they don't make any sense. He can lie a lot, either because he doesn't want to hurt anyone's feeling by telling the truth, or because they brought up a subject he'd prefer not to talk about. He has a very hard time working in a team, he's often too quiet, he is easily startled or scared, and he's not a good learner. He can be a bit moody, especially when he hasn't slept in a long time (of course he'll end up feeling guilty about that as well). Terrified of commitment.
  • Talents: Music. Music is his number one talent, and he has a knack for making others feel inadequate or untalented in comparison (of course he doesn't mean to, but hey, the guy plays eleven instruments. Making others feel untalented in comparison is going to happen, whether he wants it or not). He's also pretty good at mixing drinks.
  • Superstitions:: He believes immensely in the curse of the ninth. Before a performance, he always cleans the musical instrument(s) he's about to use, and he believes it brings good luck.
  • Vices: Cowardice, dishonesty, impatience, inflexibility, secrecy, stubbornness, can be quite jealous and resentful.
  • Virtues: Kindness, gentleness, creativity, determination, forgiveness, hope, idealism, modesty, passion.
  • Likes: Music, making music, rainy days, especially those with thunderstorms, that little click sound his prosthetics sometimes make, dogs, fall and winter, cuddling/being physically close to someone he loves, hoodies, cheering people up, caffeine, the beach, watching the sunset from the beach, carnival (the traveling kind), bagels, longganisa, the feeling of new guitar strings, barbeques, Mountain Dew Code Red, junk food, that feeling he gets when he can play a song he's been practicing forever flawlessly, staying up late, nostalgia, the Phillipines, sudden bursts of inspiration, bad puns, romantic movies and romcoms.
  • Dislikes: Small spaces, drama, silence, unfaithful partners, eye contact, being touched without warning, commitment, cats, summer, heat, arguing/fights/any kind of confrontation except playful competition, studying, reading, pda, tea, arrogant/conceited people, fish, being told what to do, warm beer, his father, phantom pain, too much formality.
