[ personality ]

Curious - Quiet - Blunt

Herschel is the most curious person you'll ever meet. Everything he does is for a reason, or for the most part, a response. He thrives off of the reactions others will give him, especially if it's something ludicrous he's done to get an even bigger one. He takes a great interest in others, because he doesn't know what they're like, and is one extremely curious cat. He can be easily considered "socially inept," but still somewhat extraverted because of how often he interacts with others. He doesn't really like to be alone and would rather be with others, but doesn't like big groups.

Herschel has an elegant poise to him. Even in his movements, everything he says and does is smooth and concentrated. He is quite the kind soul and believes in doing unto others that you would want done onto you, so he often goes out of his way to help and save others. Despite having the "savior complex" he has, Herschel is actually very neutral on most things and tries not to interject his own ideas or opinions. He just so happens to lean to a more humane side, but he honestly would not mind if he had to do the wrong thing to prove a point. He will fluctuate between loyalty and distrust, so play your cards wisely or else you will lose him.

This man is like one big, walking puzzle. It's extremely hard to tell what emotions he's feeling as they are not shown on his face, and not even in his words. Everything that falls from his mouth is in a cool tone, even if he is absolutely boiling with anger. Herschel will never outwardly show emotion other than sympathy or sadness, which tends to appear on his face easily. He is quite the sweetheart and finds a way to get along with everyone despite who they are or what their personality is like. He finds beauty in the small things, and has a particular love for nature. It may seem odd, but Herschel really likes beetles and butterflies, and even has a collection of them that he adds to regularly.

You would not be able to see it by looking at him, but he is highly religious. He rarely speaks about religion either, because he considers it inappropriate and he knows that not everyone will share his same ideas. Herschel has a leather bracelet with a silver crucifix on it, and he rarely ever takes it off unless sleeping or showering/bathing.

Herschel can get pretty obsessed over a person if they've got an unusual perception or personality, it leaves him with more to find out. Behind these facts, Herschel's a sensitive person and tends to be an open book. He's easily affected by compliments rather than insults, but most of the time is indifferent to them. He's very disbelieving of himself, ex: attractiveness, that he's a "good person," or that he's really got a purpose in existence. Compliments like those will be questioned relentless, even if you are a close friend.

[ appearance ]

Herschel is somewhat short and lanky, standing at 5'9. He absolutely hates his height, and would do anything to change it, but is at least grateful he's not shorter than any girl he's met. He has wispy white-blonde hair which reaches slightly past down his shoulders. Herschel usually messily braids it or puts in a bun. His also hair has a few streaks of brown and lighter blonde. His skin is peachy-pale color which is pretty clear without any blemishes or freckles. It's like ivory, giving him a porcelain look. He has a resting "nice" face, with soft eyes that look like there isn't a single thought bopping around in his head behind them. Herschel has a small, Grecian nose and thin, naturally smiling lips.

Herschel likes to wear ripped, light blue jeans with a white button-up shirt. It's usually his go to outfit, and has multiple pairs of the same pants and shirts. He also has a favorite zipper-hoodie to bring along when it's cold, and is constantly wearing a set of worn, white converse shoes. His lapis-blue eyes always match.
