☄ First Impressions

♚ VISUAL: Sawyer stands at 6' 1 1/2", with blue eyes and blonde hair that, at the point he's coming from, is almost to his shoulders. He's in pretty good shape body-wise, though not overly muscled or anything. It's all that island livin'. He's also pretty tan, thanks to a combination of being from the south as well as the aforementioned living on an island.

Scar-wise, Sawyer is not without a few of them. He's been shot, stabbed, beaten up - though most scars, especially bullet wounds and stab wounds are hidden under clothing. The most prominent one would be on his shoulder, where he was shot at one point, as well as one on the inside of his arm from where he was stabbed.
♚ FASHION: Generally, Sawyer tends towards jeans and simple T-shirts, or plaid button-up shirts where he'll roll up the sleeves.
♚ DEMEANOUR: Outspoken, confident, and full of himself; he's all about his own survival, though at the point he comes from in canon he's sort of about everyone else's survival as well. That isn't to say that he doesn't invite conflict - he practically thrives on it, and picks fights with almost anyone to get a rise out of them. Even in the face of potential death or even just a beating, Sawyer can't keep his mouth shut and will be a cocky asshole right to the very end. He also has a habit of calling people by a nickname of his choosing, rather than by name.

Of course, he does have a soft side to him, especially with women he cares about. He'll open up, and rather than getting the redneck asshole they'll get someone who's very different from the act he puts forward otherwise.
♚ AURAL: Southern drawl! Here's a video.
♚ OLFACTORY: Clean! If he's got access to it, he probably wears some kind of aftershave.
♚ MENTAL INFORMATION: Sawyer doesn't act like an asshole because he is one - well no, okay he is one but it's also an act he puts forward to keep people at a distance. Sawyer is a man who's taken the wrong path in life one too many times, and holds onto a lot of his guilt for a long time. He keeps his feelings to himself and acts like an asshole to keep people at a distance and to protect himself from getting hurt. Without going into spoilers, there are a lot of events in his life that have stuck with him - some of them for years and years, and while he's slowly getting past them, it's still a knee-jerk reaction to be an asshole first.
♚ MAGICAL INFORMATION: Absolutely nothing whatsoever. Sawyer's a normal human!


☄ OOC

♚ BACKTAGGING: Always!
♚ FOURTHWALLING: Go for it! Sawyer's from Lost, which was a very popular show, so feel free to recognize him! The only thing I ask is that no one spoilers him from mid-season 5 and on. ♥
♚ PHYSICAL AFFECTION: By all means! He'll either be all for it (hello ladies), be awkward, or outright reject whoever it is.
♚ PHYSICAL VIOLENCE: The man was made for punching in the face. He will retaliate, however! Comedic violence, however, is always welcome.
♚ RELATIONSHIPS: I love playing out ships, so let's talk. ♥

♚ TRIGGERS & OFFENSIVE SUBJECTS: OOCly I'm alright with anything as long as there's contact via some sort of messenger service! ICly, there's nothing in particular that offends Sawyer however if something does pop up I'll be sure to make mention of it!
♚ BEING OFFENSIVE: Sawyer has a tendency to say some things that may make people uncomfortable, and some things that may border on being racist, ie: making a crack at someone's race by suggesting they work in a specific job, and so forth. I will always ask if he's about to do as much, because I want people to OOCly be comfortable! But if saying things like that do make you uncomfortable, please let me know and I will make sure to avoid it.
