Family & Childhood

What was your character’s experience with discipline like growing up? There wasn’t much to be had, in a family as busy and as high profile as the Prescotts it was usually left to the hired help to try and impart right and wrong to Phillip. Luckily he had some good people around him during his adolescence.

What is the economic status of your character’s family? The Prescotts are very much among the wealthy elite in Los Angeles, both of his parents are movie stars and well known in the highest social circles. To say they’re rich would be a massive understatement.

Describe your character’s relationship with their parents. It’s never been a particularly close relationship for Phillip, since he can remember each of his parents have been guilty of using him for photo ops and together they’ve attempted to shape his future for him. Trying to marry him off to Aurora, determining he should follow their lead into the movies... it’s always kept him at a distance from them emotionally. And now physically, it was one of the reasons for his decision to move across the country to Costa Serena.

Personality

What are three words your character would use to describe themselves? Misjudged, Addictive, Reserved.

Describe your character’s sense of humor. Phillip’s sense of humor is on the dry side, close to outright sarcastic but rarely does he ever say something to be outright mean to people. It’s the flip side of being personable, he doesn’t always catch what he says until it’s too late.

Describe how you character acts around animals. Phillip loves all kinds of animals, not just horses. He feels more at lease around animals than he does people at times, knowing they won’t judge him.

Appearance/Physicality

What does your character wear when they’re home by themselves? Phillip prefers comfort over all else, and usually when he’s alone at home he’s dressed in flannel pajama pants and a weathered long sleeved henley shirt.

Is your character currently sporting their natural hair color? Despite attempts by his parents to try and make him over, brown is indeed Phillip’s natural hair color.

What is your character’s favorite outfit? A simple pair of jeans and a t-shirt is where he feels most comfortable, he tries to avoid wearing suits whenever he can.

How does your character style their hair? Phillip rarely does a lot with his hair. Most days it’s wake up, shower, grab a bit of gel and go as you are. He tries to keep it freshly cut as much as possible though, being in medical school Phillip knows his professional appearance does matter and looking too crazy would prevent him from being take seriously.

Relationships

How would your character describe their romantic interest? Phillip sees Joy as someone who’s genuinely earnest and brilliant, impossibly beautiful and a pleasure to be around. Her bright smile is what drew him to her in the first place, but the more he gets to know her, the more he finds everything else about her irresistible too. 

Does your character enjoy being in big groups, or spending time with a few close friends? He prefers smaller hangouts with a few close friends to a large group, though his upbringing taught him how to command a room in order to succeed in large social settings. It also taught him that alcohol is a good icebreaker, perhaps too well.

What is the first thing your character notices when meeting someone for the first time? Usually his first impression of a person is based more on their personality, and their sense of humor in particular is what he notices more than anything beyond the superficial.

Who would your character give their life for? His closest friends, mainly Aurora and Joy and his beloved horse, Samson. And despite the gulf between him and his parents, Phillip would have no issues laying down his life to protect them either.

Psychology

What are your character’s core values? Most strongly, Phillip believes that everyone should be true to themselves and be allowed to choose their own path in life. Trust, faith and assertiveness are all very important to him.

What is your character the most proud of? That he was able to make the move to Costa Serena and in effect start over with a blank slate and the ability to pick his own path forward.

What is your character’s biggest fear? His biggest fear is that despite trying to get out from under the influence of his family, he’ll eventually be drawn back to it and doomed to live the same kind of shallow existence with the lure and promise of fame and fortune.

What has been your character’s biggest personal struggle? Being able to break free from his familial pressures and find his own path to happiness.

What is your character’s deepest secret? That he drinks too much, but its less and less of a secret as of late.

Spiritual/Temperamental

Hogwarts: Phillip’s house is Hufflepuff, his friendliness and humility keep him grounded even though his background would suggest otherwise.

Ilvermorny: Pukwudgie

What is your greatest strength as a person? I would say that never giving up would be my greatest strength, but I could also say that about being a better family to Lillian than either of us have ever known.

Do you like yourself? Yes and no.

What goal do you most want to accomplish in your lifetime? Already answered this.

Where do you see yourself in 5 years? Hopefully in the same place with an expanded farm. Same goes for Lillian's side of town. That and I also hope this town will be less... troublesome... With their rivalry.

What three words best describe your personality? I'm sure we all have different words to describe me, right? I could go with diligent, strong, and callous.

6, 10, and 19

Are you generally organized or messy? Organized. I do enjoy finding things at a faster pace.

What goal do you most want to accomplish in your lifetime? Putting them in their place once they've seen how better off I truly am.

What makes you laugh? I can't help it when I see my dear sister drinking something with whip-cream. Every single time, she manages to get some of it on her nose and she'll talk normally as though she doesn't notice it.
