Character Details
Appearance:
Credit to myo_cmsn on Picrew
As most of the people born in Everlong, Amos is naturally pretty. He has a heart-shaped face meaning he has a larger forehead and a pointed chin with higher cheekbones. His hair is dark brown and is slightly wavy and styled to fall on the right side of his head. It's long enough that it occasionally falls into his eye, but not so long that it's overly annoying.
Amos stands at about 6 foot and weighs about 190 lbs. He has an athletic build with broader shoulders and a slimmer waist. His legs are long and strong, and his hands are large with strong fingers. His best weapon is his words, but he can certainly handle a sword well, even with little professional training.
Mos has fair skin with thin lips and hazel eyes that are guarded by medium-length eyelashes and shadowed by slightly thicker eyebrows without a very prominent arch. They have a few scars on their hands and one on their left cheek along the jawline, but most of their bigger scars are hidden. They have several longer scars on their back, all verticle, and a couple scattered on their legs. They also have several scars on their shoulders and inner arms that they keep hidden well.
Onto what Amos wears! First off, he likes to be comfortable, though he's careful to wear nice enough clothing to blend in well. Often, they're seen with a long-sleeved, linen shirt with a dark green surcoat over the top along with black pants. He also has a leather belt and leather, buckled boots. They keep a knife with them at all times in a little cut out of his boot, just in case.
Personality:
The first thing to know about Amos is that they are a very good liar. He blends in easily with crowds and is easily able to maintain eye contact without fidgeting when lying to someone. They keep a straight face and play along with the rules of Everlong despite disagreeing with all of them.
Those who meet him in his work as a shadow will only ever see him being polite and kind, always well dressed. Of course, they aren't afraid to show their intelligence, and they use their cover as a Perfect to debate laws and throw around ideas that slightly toe the line of illegal, but never cross. He's respected in the court as fair and level-headed and many of the younger Perfects look up to him.
Outside of his disguise, however, Mos becomes a completely different person. He's very caring and protective of the Exiled and Shadows, especially the younger ones, and he's more playful and sassy to those who know them best. Amos loves joking around when he gets the chance, and he loves to see other people smile.
He's very kind and generous, never hesitating to give up something of his own in order to help others. They love kids and music, and they're almost a cool dad to the youngest of the Exiled group, jumping at the chance to hang out with them and teach them new fighting techniques or communication skills. Along with this, however, Amos can be somewhat sharp-tongued. There are occasions when he says something he'll later regret because someone pushed him too far. In situations where he's with someone he really dislikes or finds annoying, they'll become overly sarcastic and exaggerated, as long as it doesn't affect their job, he doesn't mind sharing his annoyance.
Amos excels in communication and can strike up a discussion with pretty much anyone, enjoying the social life. However, he's always very alert and aware when talking to someone, he remembers little details about what they're told and uses them to his advantage. He'll redirect a conversation so subtly that the person might not even recognize what's happening until after the conversation is already over. Because of this, they accel at their job, both as a Shadow and a Perfect lawyer.
Now, even though Amos is generally pretty generous and kind, there are occasions when he can become overly opinionated and somewhat arrogant, believing they know what's best for everyone and trying to make decisions that they shouldn't. They'll continue to argue their point until they're absolutely shut down, and even then, he may still be difficult. He's very stubborn and very strong-willed.
Now, onto how he actually views people. First off, Amos doesn't trust anyone until they've proved to him that they can be trusted. They've been hurt before, and they don't intend to let it happen again. He'll talk to anyone, but he's not as open as he seems. Everything he does is testing everyone around them, searching constantly for potential threats. He's an extremely mistrusting person, and it's rare for them to actually let someone in.
So there we have it, Amos, a slightly manipulative, generous, and kind, but somewhat arrogant, sarcastic, and stubborn demi boy.

Dislikes:*
Fears:*
Amos's worst fear is definitely losing those he cares about. They've lost people before, and it scares him to even think about it happening again. He hates the idea of those they love going through anything painful, and it's especially bad when they threaten to leave him behind. He's also terrified of sudden loud noises and overly tight dark spaces. This is mostly due to trauma.
