Picture: Pixiv Id 1051305 ~ zerochan
Appearance: The above picture is a sketch done of Squall by a girl he liked on his old world. It is very much how he looks today. Still the same shaggy brown hair. Same kind of pants and jacket. Squall has some almost lifeless green eyes that follow anyone's every move as they move around him. Some of his clothes are a little tattered but not to the point where he must dispose of them. His build is lean with still some muscle on his body. He stands at six feet tall and weighs about 185 pounds.
His expression is serious most of the time and a large smile is rare for him. He may be amused by something and smirk a little, but that is probably the closest that one will get to make him smile. The only one who would be able to make him smile would be the girl that sketched the picture. When he was happy, his eyes would shine with a new "life" and he would just seem nicer. Since the incident he has not looked like that once.
Personality: Squall is a very inward person, keeping everything he sees or hears to himself until such a time as it is needed. He is very quiet and may not react to someone calling him over for anything. He does have a soft side as his world was extinguished and feels pity for others that are like him and is willing to help anyone out for a small sum of munny. He wants to take back worlds as much as anyone else does but will act rashly at times and on his own if something intrigues him.
If Squall thinks that the place is safe and his companions are asleep he may climb up into a tree or other high place close to the camp and look up at the stars and sing. The singing is what made the orphans like him on his old world make up his last name...Heartsong. His songs were happy and funny, but his songs now are sad and about a time that could have been. Sometimes, he may just begin to sing on instinct during a battle unconsciously or while searching through the worlds. The singing is the only time that he actually expresses how he feels about everything. Original World: Destiny Islands
Current World: Traverse Town
History: I'll start off by saying that I wasn't always like this. The seemingly sad and depressed man I am today. I was a normal kid...well...I wouldn't say "normal" as I was without a home and lived in the orphanage in the Destiny Islands. I had no parents unlike some of the friends that I made during my "adventures" around the islands. I lived peacefully and even met a girl that I kinda sorta liked.
...
Okay...I liked her a lot. But that comes later. After I was born, my mother put me in the orphanage and disappeared. All she left was the name Magnus. I grew up with most of the kids and we were eventually taught different martial arts by the head of the orphanage for self defense. Around the age of eight I was wandering out further from the orphanage when I found the group on the island. In this group was a girl named Elaina and we usually went hand in hand together. She was the one who taught me to sing. And I sang good things then.
I was ten when I first picked up a wooden sword to fight someone. I got my ass handed to me which was funny but hurt...a lot. I eventually found a fighting style where my limbs seemed to be lashing out randomly and violently . That was where I got my nickname Squall. I think it was one of my happier memories from then. When I turned sixteen I went back to the Island to find only those who knew Elaina with grim looks on their faces. I tried to cheer them up with a song and got hit directly in the face by her brother.
He stood over me and I looked at him before he threw a newspaper at me. That was when I changed to who I am now. It was the obituary page and the first one was Elaina. I don't know how long I sat there and just cried, but when I was done, it was night and the others were leaving. I looked up for Elaina's brother hoping that at least he would be there to explain. Unfortunately, he was not there and I was all alone.
I practiced my fighting more and more becoming an expert in swordplay and Judo while staying proficient in Tae Kwon Do. I went to bed one night and found myself in Traverse Town the next day. I am waiting to get a job so I can get some munny to purchase the basic needs to live comfortably. I am currently nineteen and would like to act as a guard or anything that you can offer.
Role Playing Sample: Squall woke up on Destiny Island with the smile of Elaina greeting him. He rubbed his head and looked at her, hearing his name called over and over by her. "Squall...Squall....SQUALL!!!!" He felt the smack from beyond the dreamworld and fell sideways, his head smacking into some pillows that were nearby him on his left side. They were soft and made him feel like he needed to sleep more. His eyes began to close when he was pulled upright and slapped multiple times. For anyone looking it would almost seem cartoonish for the small girl to smack a nineteen year old's face back and forth.
Squall eventually reached out and grabbed the girl's arm. "I'm awake. Geez...calm youself...ummm...What was your name again?" He had forgotten the girl's name in the dream and the girl sighed. "My name is Lydia numb nuts. Now get your head out of the clouds and come with me. I want to play!!!"
Squall groaned and stood up, cracking his neck and knuckles. "Tag again? You know how the others here on Traverse Town feel about that kind of stuff." He looked around and sighed. "One game and then you won't disturb me for the rest of the week. Deal?"
He stretched out his hand for a handshake and the girl took it, shaking on the promise they made and he began to count with his fingers the minute that he would give her for a headstart. She disappeared into Traverse Town and he waited for another thirty seconds before waiting around and looking for her for the remaining ten seconds. He ran past a group of people as one was letting down her hair, but he paid it no mind.
If he had paid attention, he would have noticed the long black hair that cascaded down from her scalp and the bright blue eyes that would have given away the girl as Elaina...the one who he thought was dead. He ran after the small girl, the game of tag going on for a small bit of time before it was his turn and more children entered the game. He smirked a bit before continuing on with the game, running away from little stampeding children. It was like his old life. The one that could never be returned to him.
