PHYSICAL APPEARANCE:
Eye color: brown

Fitness level: He doesn’t activey make an effort to excersize but he’s got a ton of energy and frequently finds himself doing so anyways. I’d describe his fitness level as slightly above average but nothing too crazy. (He still gets winded going up multiple flights of stairs.)
Clothing style: comfy yet stylish, many layers (he often wears either a jean jacket or a faux leather one), dark colors/monocrome, boots and sneakers
Piercings: n/a
Tattoos: one on his forearm of an octopus (like this one )
Scars: a small dent above his eyebrow from where he fell and hit his head on the corner of a table, scars from staples and an incision from when he broke his arm really badly at fifteen, various faded ones on his shins from being a clumsy kid
PAST:
Best memory: His best memory is probably the day he graduated High School. Montague wasn’t exactly into the whole school thing and considering he’d slacked off until the very end of junior year, it was a lot of hard work on his part to turn things around.
Worst memory: The first time his mom killed in front of him in order to restore her youth. She did it with such nonchilance and it terrified him.
Biggest secret: He’s a pretty open book, but his biggest secret would have to be the fact that he feels stuck and stupid without any college education or a really stable job to work towards.
Biggest fear: Isolation
When they arrived on the island: Monty arrived on the island two weeks into December of 2018 in order to connect more with the supernatural community and hopefully sate his mid-twenties hormonal mess of a mindset.
How/why they arrived on the island: Montague swam to the island, not from the US but from nearby, because he’d always wanted to go to France. He had family there (500 year old family, but family nonetheless) and as he’d taken the language in school since the elementary days, he was pretty well spoken. Life in his hometown was fine but he found the whole thing boring...and there were no other supernatural’s even close to him so that was a pain in the ass.
First kiss: His first kiss happened when he was twelve, it was with a girl two years older than him that basically just attacked his face. He had no idea what to do and decided to go along with it, the result being a horrifically bad kiss with way too much teeth.
First love: The first person outside his family that Montague truly loved (romantically, that is) would be his first boyfriend. The guy was called Justin and he was everything Monty wanted to be at age seventeen. Cool, calm, intelligent, and just a little big rebellious - Justin made the siren feel like the star of a romance movie and he was instantly hooked.
First time: His first time was also with the girl that stole his first kiss. Her name was Navami and she became one of his closest friends, someone he trusted and cared about enough to not regret having sex with. The whole thing was, once again, a bit of a disaster but he did discover a few things about himself (like just how much he liked surrendering his pleasure to someone else.)
Childhood best friend: Montague was an extremely social child and as such had many friends to choose from, none were ever defined in his mind as the ‘best friend’ but three were probably the closest to that definition: Navami, Sidney, and Zach.
MISCELLANEOUS:
Bad habits: smoking, impulsive decision making, picking at his lips,
Positive traits: genuine, optimistic, sociable, loyal, kind, and empathetic
Negative traits: impatient, immature, occassionally self-centered, naive, talkative, and gullible
Emotional stability: decent
Sociability: he loves people, parties, and anything with groups of new and exciting personalities
Relationship with mother: Montague’s not very close to her but he does think she’s incredibly strong as a person and takes her advice incredibly seriouosly. She’s the type of person he admires for their hardass attitude and ability to take shit from no one. He loves her very much but they don’t often talk.
Relationship with father: His father is the person that knows
Siblings: two brothers and a sister - he’s not close to any of them but would probably sacrifce himself on their behalf nonetheless
Pets: cat called tybalt
Role models: His father, Batman, Captain Kirk, Beyonce (?)
Favorite place: the beach by his childhood home
Favorite animal: octopus
Favorite book: Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy
Favorite movie: Star Trek
Favorite music: Classic Rock, Alt. Rock, Classical
Favorite food: French Fries/Chips
Views on romance: Montague’s a romatnic, he loves romance - chocolate, flowers and all. He’d love to find a partner who shares the same views and is willing to humor him and all his silly little date ideas.
