Name: Farran Cai Jernigan
Age: 15
Hair color: Copper
Eye color: Crimson
Height: 5'7"
Appearance: Farran is skinny, awkward, and angular. This is mostly due to the fact he's fifteen and in the middle of growing. When he's older he'll likely be quite attractive, but right now he's a collection of mismatched angles with a gift for finding sensitive spots. His hair is coarse and wiry, kept short because there's really nothing else to do with it, and the color is true metallic copper. He tans easily, even in winter, and is usually at least a few shades darker than his peers. His eyes, the most immediately obvious signs of his heritage, have a slightly smaller ratio of white to iris than most human eyes, and are a vibrant crimson.
On his shoulder blades, approximately where wings might be, are a set of marks in black that look like a knotwork take on 'devil' wings.
Biography: Farran is half-human. His mother is human, and was daddy's little girl up until the point she got pregnant. This was a one-way ticket to disownment city. His father is a currently unidentified demon, someone of some importance if his mother's tales of that one night are to be taken seriously, but Farran has never met him and is, in fact, thoroughly unacknowledged. Farran's feelings on the subject are mixed. Yes, his heritage has so far been good for absolutely nothing but strange looks and a marked aversion to all things holy, but he's not so stupid as to think that the good fortune he and his mother occasionally happen across, usually at great cost to someone else, is a gift of the universe.
Farran has always been bright. Not a genius, for certain, and he coasts too much to be considered a hard worker -- his usual level of effort nets him a B- average. But he picks things up a bit quicker than most other people do, and as such is often plank-bored, in school and in other things. Homework will keep him busy for a time, but usually around three quarters of the way through he gives up and goes to find something else more interesting to do.
So far, he's made it through his education with very little injury to himself or others, and only moderate property damage. Hopefully this trend will continue.
Personality: Farran's general state of being is apathy. Unless it is relevant to his interests or solves the issue of boredom, he will be completely uninterested. However, once one gets him interested in participating in conversation/activity/etc., Farran is the main source of puns, sarcasm, and Bad Ideas. He appreciates practical jokes and explosions, and has a habit of keeping grudges long beyond reasonability.
Skills: Farran's heritage is, as far as special powers are concerned, completely useless. It's entirely possible something will crop up as adolescence progresses, but for now he's rather not supernaturally gifted.
On the subject of more mundane skills, though, Farran has a talent for finding flaws in the floor (read: tripping on them) and, even better, taking the nearest person down with him. He also knocks things over a lot, and as such has developed an eye for which items in the room are the most expensive, and stays far away from those.
It is worth noting that usually, his 'something more interesting to do' involves computers. Farran has been coercing those to do his bidding for some years now, ever since he determined that English was mostly a waste of time.
