CHARACTER - PERSONALITY

skylar is kind and would give the shirt off his back to someone else who needed it. he has been through a lot in his life and you wouldn't know it. he doesn't like to talk about his past unless it's with his therapist as he likes to be seen as a happy go lucky guy and there for everyone. 

CHARACTER - BIOGRAPHY triggering / sensitive content: death tw, sibling death tw, house fire tw, fire tw

Skylar grew up in a loving household where he was close with his twin sibling and his older sister, natasha. he was on good terms with his older siblings, but he had a connection with natasha that was undeniable. he was young when his oldest brother passed away but for some reason it didn't effect him the way that it did with his other family members.

in school skylar was a wiz. everyone was surprised when they found out how much skylar knew. he was in high school at the age of twelve and graduated at sixteen. college was a no brainer and he was in school to become a surgeon but he decided to wait until he was eighteen so that he wasn’t made fun of like when in high school. he had been in his pre med days when there was a fire in his dorm room and there was a faulty fire alarm and he wasn’t aware until he had woke up and was on the front lawn of the residence hall surrounded by a bunch of emt’s and firemen. if it had been just a few minutes longer before he wouldn’t have survived. that night reminded him of losing his big brother and it brought back all this trauma he didn't know he had. 

just one more year of pre med and then he was going to be on his way to the big university where he was going to learn everything he needed for his future. however, things changed in the blink of an eye. skylar dropped out of school and he fled merrock. for months, nobody heard from him. he has only contacted his immediate family every week to update them that he was okay but he didn’t give away where he went. he had to get away without being tracked down. he did some traveling around the country, made his way to canada and told himself he needed to live due to almost losing his life that night. 

when he felt like he was ready to go back, he knew that becoming a doctor was not what he wanted to do. he decided to become an emt and got licensed before moving to merrock to be closer to his sister.. he tried living somewhere else for a bit but he did miss his family so that’s why he traveled so much before coming here. he doesn’t talk much about the day that scared him the most, but when asked why he became an emt he just tells people it was a calling. he is in therapy and even has an emotional support golden retriever who he’s always seen with on walks.

OPPOSITES — Zeke would attest that in their profession, being partnered with someone different, in morals, beliefs, and temperament, was both a good time and a good learning opportunity. Skylar's outgoing, nurturing nature made up for his brash, abruptness and when it came time for business, he got to teach the younger medic more than his level of certification would allow. The older man grins. "I think Taryn made cinnamon rolls again — what's up, Adams? Enjoying a day off for a change?"

[skylar-adams]

"cinnamon rolls? those sound amazing actually, like i might need to go out and get me some of those." skylar laughed a bit as he looked at zeke and laughed a bit, "but yeah. i am having a good day off so far. how about yourself? are you enjoying a day off or is this just your first stop?" he asked the other individual who he looked up to when it came to their job.

"I'm not sure that there is any real 'point' of karaoke," Isabel mused, "aside from to allow drunk people to feel like celebrities." Isabel could hold a tune but she had come to learn that most people who signed up for karaoke couldn't sing, it seemed to be on the requirements. She laughed lightly at the mention of guts, "maybe it's guts, maybe it's vodka." Isabel knew that the woman currently on stage had had quite a few drinks before making her way to the stage. She nodded at his request and started making his drink, "sure, flash me that ID babyface."

[skylar-adams]

"i don't think it's just drunk people that do it. yes, they're probably the highest number of people that participate in it but i think some people like to go out there and just feel good about themselves even when they know that they aren't the best. we can just help motivate them." skylar replied with a playful shrug of his shoulders. "i figured you would want to see it too." skylar replied before he reached into his wallet and he took the license out and showed it to her. "i get a lot of weird faces when people see my real age."

"Purple's pretty good. I'm just looking for something cute. Don't know when or where I'll wear it, but that's the fun of it, isn't it? A little mystery," Mandy grinned. She loved shopping when it was thrifting or exploring and just seeing what she could find that was fun. It wasn't hard to pick out a little treasure here or there. Well, the hard part was just picking which one she really wanted. She grabbed a claw clip, playing with it a little bit. "So something like this?"

[skylar-adams]

"as long as it's not something that you buy and then it sits around as a potential. otherwise, yes it's fun to have something and not be sure when or where you'll wear it. you just don't want to be too careful about it." skylar reminded the woman. he watched her as she grabbed other things and then he looked at something she was showing him, "oh yeah that's nice!"

Who: Open Where: Bonne Merde

Isabel handed a drink to the person at one end of the bar before moving towards the other end. She spotted someone waiting and smiled as she approached them, "what can I get you?" she asked, "and unfortunately for you we don't sell ear plugs, but luckily karaoke only has about 15 minutes left." Isabel liked chatting to people, when it was really busy Isabel would work quicker but when she had the opportunity to chit chat, she certainly took it. She was good at making drinks but it was her people skills that made her a good bartender.

[skylar-adams]

skylar shrugged his shoulders when the woman approached him and began to speak about the ear plugs. "oh, i don't mind. i know that if i came earlier than i would've participated in karaoke and some people may not have wanted to hear that, but that's the whole point of having it. let the people have fun." he smiled. "i'm sure it takes a lot of guts to get up there and do that, especially if you know you're bad." skylar admitted. "and i will take a gin and tonic with extra lime please. also i was asked for my id when i came in but if you need to see it again, i don't blame you. i know i look young." he requested from the bartender.

Who: Mandy & open!

Where: shopping at hideaway market

When: sometime early August

Mandy decided that she wanted to get a few things done, grocery shopping, picking up some shampoo. Maybe even fill up the refridgerator. And then she could work on putting together something for the gala that was coming up. She sipped on her smoothie and rocked on her heels as she looked at the display in front of her, pursing her lips in deep thought. "Important question. Pink or purple?"

[skylar-adams]

skylar found himself doing the chore that he dreaded the most, grocery shopping. he was walking around with a cart where he had a bunch of instant meals or stuff that could be cooked in the oven or microwave with no preparation since he wasn't really all that much of a cook. he did enjoy baking, but cooking was just too much for him. he was stopped in the middle of the aisle and he shrugged his shoulders, "i guess it depends what we are talking about but i'm a purple guy usually!"

WHO — zeke & open

WHEN/WHERE — late morning, cobblestone cafe

MONDAY — his favourite book; the smell of roasting beans and yeast; peppermint tea, gone cold, sits in front of him in the absence of company. The soft music overhead is thankfully not loud enough to distract him nor is the chatter of patrons boisterous and all-consuming. A shadow blocks the sun that filters in through the window and when it doesn't budge, Zeke looks up, meeting eyes with another. A grin, so subtle that it could be missed with a blink, curls on his lips as he sits back. "I didn't know there was an eclipse today..." He trails playfully, though his flat tone doesn't give it away entirely. "Are you going to sit? Or just stand there like Lurch?"

[skylar-adams]

cobblestone cafe was a place that skylar enjoyed. he needed some coffee every morning and he was willing to pay for it instead of making it because it just tasted so much better to have someone else make it for him. he was walking around the cafe and he met eyes with zeke and then heard about the eclipse comment that zeke was spewing about. "oh sorry. i mean i can sit down and whatnot." he mentioned to zeke as he looked at him and then plopped down in the chair that was across from zeke. "sorry about that. what's going on today."
