Gender:
Male
Sexuality:
Bisexual
Place of Birth:
Arezzo, Italy
Appearance:
Haven is of Japanese and Scandinavian descent. His hair is as close to black as it can get. He keeps it parted down the center and has an almost militaristic undercut. Haven's hair is long enough on the top to run a hand through as well as grab as it often hangs in front of his face. Haven's eyes are hooded and gunmetal grey, taking after his mother in that aspect. His face is sharp to put it bluntly. A slightly elvish jawline with a thin nose with nearly nonexistent lips that are a light shade of pink. He looks younger than he actually is, but not in a preteen way. More of... You don't look old enough to have committed art fraud.
Haven has little to no freckles, perhaps a few pop up in the summer while he's outside, but asides from that he stays rather unblemished. He also has a bar piercing going through the top of his left ear that has the capability of a standard lockpick. He crafted it himself and he's rather proud. Asides from that he doesn't wear much else jewlery. There are two piercings in each of his lobes that normally hold just studs. There are no rings on his fingers and he rarely wears necklaces in fear of it being used to choke him.
Haven stands at about 5'8 with a lean figure. On top of being quite literally on the run, he enjoys cardio activities such as running. He doesn't enjoy sprinting, but a mild marathon will do just splendid. His legs and adominals are well toned, but not overly muscular. His arms are lightly toned from hand to hand combat training, but no where near as strong as they could be if he wanted to do arm workouts. Haven is for the most part a lightweight, stress eats him down on top of constantly moving in general.
Haven's attire is nothing special. Literally. Often seen wearing cargo pants and a tee shirt. He prefers navy for his clothing a lot. Asides from dark colors he enjoys neutrals and greens. His attire as of the past few months hasn't been a concern for him. He's too busy concerned about who the fuck is tracking him down. Depending on the day, he'll wear either a light gray bucket hat or a black beanie in order to cover his hair, or in the bucket hats case, cast a shadow over his face. He's normally wearing tennis shoes of some sort, in case of emergencies. Haven wouldn't be caught wearing flip flops. Ever. That's a whole other conversation anyways.
Personality:
Haven can be a handful with his personality. Sometimes it feels like being slammed with a dictionary because of how much he talks and the various things it could be about. Its all in good humor though. He loves thoughtful conversation and is rather invested in others when they talk. All people have a story and his curiosity wins out in hearing about others.
While Haven comes off as quite friendly, he can be rude, selfish and the shortest way to put it; a brat. He's extremely petty when he's upset, always going the extra length to make sure that something inconvenient is happening to whoever he's mad at. He has a long way to go when it comes to maturing, but he doesn't mind. He has plenty of time, and can treat life as a game as long as it lets him.
Haven is big on teasing and snide comments. It's basically his last defense when backed into a corner. His wit. When he doesn't know what to say, he's quick to shove in an insult. While not necessarily efficient, they do start a conversation. Not all of it is with the intent to cause anger. Haven often partakes in playful banter with his friends, which ends in a lot of laughter. When put one on one with someone he trusts and cares for, Haven is just normal. He has no need to hold up a facade. Some would argue that him being relaxed is the facade. How exactly does he turn off the jittering and incessant comments? It's really hard. Those who think that his relaxed version is a facade are wrong. He's simply bone tired. Anytime he's around friends, he's safe and doesn't have a care. He can let loose and put barely any energy into what he's doing.
Likes:
Haven enjoys running quite a bit. Helps keep him in shape.
Aquatic life has always been a big hit to Haven. On his excursions to different countries, you can bet he'll stop by an aquarium. The criminal has a keen eye for art and can often be found at museums that present lovely displays that may or may not be fake due to his own past handiwork. Long distance shooting doesn't come into play much in Haven's life, but he does carry and is most of the time a good shot. Not only does he love art, he is infatuated by literature. Reading is something he can always enjoy and on long trips he doesn't even need his phone. He has books.
Dislikes:
Most people share Haven's dislike for blood. Gore and blood don't bother him in movies or drawings. On himself and other people is a different story. Scrapes and small cuts are fine, but anything that might require stitches leaks enough blood for Haven to be uncomfortable. He's not going to pass out, or panic. If it's on him, his agitation levels and fidgeting do expedite. Haven is already very fidgety as is. Condescending tones also hold a special place in Haven's heart. He hates them. Haven does not like to be looked down upon. It bothers him to be thought as something lesser than what he is. It honestly riles him up quite a bit. Bad Hygeine is something the entirety of the world can agree on, is not a good thing. Just like when it comes to blood being on him, he hates the feeling of being dirty for long periods of times. He's not going to whine when he's in the middle of a heist and some sort of dirt gets on him. Its the sweat, smell and feeling that gets him.
Strengths:
Mentioned once more now, Haven is agile. If he had more time he would be interested in parkour. He knows a few tricks here and there, but nothing like what the pros do. He likes to think he's extremely observant, but sometimes it's not what he should be observing. Important information? Nah the interesting color choice of that wall over there? Now thats something. While that's an exaggeration about his intake of information, Haven is good at remembering important details. Such as bank account numbers, SSN's, important locations but it doesn't extend to where he left his keys.
Weaknesses:
Haven's brash and he knows it. He pretends that his quick thinking is flawless, because most of the time it somehow turns out ok. He's lying to himself. In the heat of a moment Haven finds himself second guessing what he knows and it leads to trouble. He moves without thinking sometimes, everything turning into a gut instict instead of a well thought out plan. What a surprise, Haven does have a moral compass. It doesn't point the right direction all the time, but it does when it comes to family. He'd never let anything happen to his family. Unlike some people, Haven doesn't see his family as a strength. It's a weakness, because he would drop everything to help them if he could which makes him vulnerable. Its debatable on whether this last one should be in weaknesses. Haven can't shut up a lot of the time. When he's nervous, he talks. Same for if he's interested or bored. He especially likes talking when he was told to shut up. Which leads the criminal into trouble once more. Saying too much isn't something that happens to Haven. He's tight lipped about secrets, but he can be easily swayed with the right motivation. While Haven has been working on hand to hand, he's still not very good at it. He can hold his own against someone on the street, but a trained professional will beat him in close quarters combat any day.
Kin:
Mother: Aris Mannix (deceased) Aris died in Haven's preteen years due to a car accident. There wasn't a very firm relationship between Aris and her two children, so Haven can't truthfully say her death effected him.
Father: Ensign Mannix Location Unknown Ensign and his son are estranged to a degree. Ensign was often not home well into Haven's teen years. Genevieve was the one who supplied for the household most of the time. Ensign was not a bad father, and there was no animosity between him and his children. Haven one day just got up and left, and he hasn't seen his son since. He has received an occasional postcard or sum of money, but they come scarcely. He does not live with Genevieve.
Sister: Genevieve Mannix Lives in Verona, Italy. While only a couple years older than Haven, she has a husband and a young child. Genevieve's husband knows little about Haven, only that he causes problems and when he comes by its never for long. Genevieve has done well for herself and brings in more income than her husband.
*While born in Italy, Haven does not have any Italian ancestors. That he knows of at least.*
Relationships:
Kristoff Andrews: Kristoff is well into his forties and supports Haven when he needs it. They met through the organization Haven formally worked for. Kristoff was an ally to the company, but was never too involved with any of the buisness. He took an interest in Haven after seeing his artwork. The connection was magnetic. Basically Haven's cool uncle. Kristoff supplies his criminal with safehouses in a couple of countries as well as advice when he needs it.
Henriette Fleur:Henriette and Haven met in France during one Haven's trips to visit a museum. She is purely a civilian and knows nothing about Haven's doings. However they do keep in contact. Henriette is also in her early twenties and wants to be a musician in a symphony.
Music:
While Haven's music taste is kind of... everywhere? He does enjoy a couple of hits to listen to while he runs. As well as contemplating his problems.

Other: During the last year of Haven's stay with the SSC, tensions were high. He won't disclose what he and his managers argued about. Perhaps it was pay, or maybe it was something that made his morality come out. Regardless after a brief falling out, during a mission Haven ended up stealing an encrypted drive along with attempting to sell out the SSC during the mission. The SSC evaded legal trouble because of their connections, but could not catch their thief. A bounty hunter was hired after learning of the drive being stolen. He is wanted alive and mostly unharmed. No broken bones, but apparently knife wounds and sprains are fine. Haven is too big of a risk to have out on the streets, he knows too much. If he is successfully taken back, not to worry they don't want to kill him. They'll keep him around to hopefully convince him to run more jobs under close watch. The SSC has some buttons they can press in order to keep him compliant. If it comes down to it, they might kill him. However he has value and they'd like to keep hold of it.
