Description
Introduction

Name: Prentiss Lewis Clayworth.
Age: 28.
Sex: Male.

Appearance

Height: 5.4 feet (1.65 meters).
Weight: 50kg (110 pounds).
Attractiveness: Prentiss falls into the "cute" or "adorable" category, based on appreciative standards, and in the "weak" or "pathetic" category, in terms of depreciative standards. His small frame and his soft facial expressions will not be able to endear everyone, but his natural fragility often drives people to care for him at first sight.
Complexion: Prentiss has very pale skin. He has a fair amount of freckles on his cheekbones going towards his temples, as well as on the sides of his nose. The back of his shoulders is also covered with this particular pigmentation characteristic of redheaded people.
Hair: His hair is curly, short, most of the time fattened on top of his head due to wearing his top hat constantly. He's red-haired, a bright, flaming shade of red.
Eye color: His eyes are grey-blue, fairly pale.
Handedness: He is right-handed.
Clothing style: The reasoning behind his small wardrobe is explained further in the socioeconomic status section. Prentiss' most obvious clothing element is his top hat. He never leaves his apartment without it, regardless of the weather or the season. He finds the accessory comforting, as he feels more confident when it's resting on his head, and likes to believe it makes him look taller.
As part of his main clothing style, he owns two different suits, some neckties and a pair of chic shoes he polishes every night. He owns neither glasses nor watch, considering his excellent visual acuity and his innate ability to track down time that passes.

Personality

Intelligence level: Prentiss' knowledge is extremely focussed and limited to specific topics. For instance, his knowledge in biology, botany and meteorology is vast. However, his knowledge in politics can be qualified as quite strange: he knows every details and particularities of what he's been reading in the newspapers, but doesn't have a clue about the external circumstances or the causes. Similarly, his knowledge in history is uneven: he knows specific events by heart and in details because he's been reading about them, but is completely ignorant about various other great historical occurrences.
Emotional condition: Prentiss is a perfectly happy little guy who always sees the good sides and the benefits of a situation. When he's having a rougher time doing so, his frustration quickly disappears, simply because he prefers shifting his focus and attention on more positive matters.
He is very curious, and sometimes his curiosity shrouds his reason and guides him towards danger. In these situations, he will often act as a coward, due to the surprise or the shock, and will run, hide, beg or even cry. It's momentary. As soon as his rational mind gets back on track, he is able to control his emotions and figure out a way to get out of the tricky situation he's in.
Prentiss can ultimately be quite shy or act overly independent when he meets new people. His reaction is based on the other person's behavior and attitude towards him. It's his way of making sure he doesn't get attached too quickly to a newcomer.
Introvert / Extrovert: Prentiss will generally be introvert. He observes a lot, listens extremely well and patiently, and doesn't feel the need to express himself much. He tries to never get himself involved too importantly in group projects or events. However, when a detail catches his attention, or when a discussion shifts towards something he likes, his passion will transform him into an extrovert monster. When he is given the opportunity to share his excitement about a particular topic he cherishes, he gesticulates, talks loudly, smiles, and will occasionally act impulsively.
Impulsive / Cautious: Prentiss is only and exclusively emotional. Everything he does is based on his emotions. When he accepts a job or takes a decision – no matter which type of decision it is – he bases his choice on the strong passion or repulsion he feels at the time. He's driven by his heart every second of the day. It's also a fairly impulsive behavior, as he doesn't keep much room for thoughts and reasoning in the process. Prentiss isn't afraid of ridicule. In fact, he doesn't know what ridicule is. It's a cultural barrier that certainly isn't blocking him in his impulsivity.

History

Language: Prentiss speaks English as his mother tongue. He has learned and masters French due to his numerous trips to Africa, studying reptiles and insects.
Religion: Religious beliefs and divine faith are abstract concepts, which make no sense to Prentiss. He has not even once thought about supernatural forces or spirituality. He grew up as a lonely child, feeding his thoughts with scientific literature material. He built his comprehension of the world around physics, history, facts and observations.
Relationship status: Single. His rather strange lifestyle, his odd social behavior and his difficulty to build trust are part of the many reasons preventing him from developing a love relationship.
Occupation: Prentiss is an expert in everything related to insects or reptiles. He has always been fascinated by these animals, and seeks to learn more about them on a daily basis. He will often accept contracts with museums or biology firms in order to share his extensive knowledge. He will also travel around the world, hunting down rare species for pharmacology companies. He doesn't have a stable job, but is lucky enough to be well known in his specialization, which allows him to cycle through different contracts at a steady pace.
Socioeconomic status: Prentiss is fairly poor, yet employs stratagems to appear rich and elegant. He gains a decent amount of money through regular, lucrative contracts, but has a tendency to be too generous when he donates money to orphanages, leaving his pockets practically empty. However, he is perfectly pleased to maintain this lifestyle. He is resourceful and is able to plan ahead of time, in order to minimize the impact of future, difficult times.
Whenever he's alone, or when no one is watching, he will gather up objects and possessions people no longer need. Robbery is not an act he agrees with, which is why he observes meticulously and draws conclusions, beyond all reasonable doubt, as to whether or not the item he is coveting is abandoned by it's former owner. If the item has been in fact discarded, Prentiss will gladly pick it up and give it a second chance. This is the chain of events that allowed him to acquire his occasionally mismatching socks, his one hundred years old worn out leather briefcase and his obscenely large collection of encyclopedias.
When he's in public, he acts like an impeccable gentleman. He owns two different suits and a few ties, through which he rotates in order to bring diversity in his appearance. He takes good care of his clothes, is very polite and observes the etiquette.

Lifestyle / Interests

Likes: Insects, arachnids, reptiles and batrachians and his reasons to live. Prentiss likes hunting them down, catching them, studying them and taking care of them. He also likes to learn everything he can about each and every single one of them, as if they were precious friends.
Prentiss likes to read, has to read, no matter what it is. He has a preference for encyclopedias, but will gladly read 3 months old newspapers if he has nothing else at hand.
He likes kids a lot, especially the ones at the orphanage. He often goes to donate his money there, and spends some time hanging out with the children, organizing cockroach races in the yard, or studying bees with magnifying glasses.
Prentiss also likes to fix things. Especially small things. Watches, locks, phones… Whenever he has an opportunity to pull out his magnifying goggles and begin some precision work, he's entertained.
Dislikes: He dislikes violence in all its' forms. He will prioritize diplomatic measures before using other dissuasive options.
He also has a complete aversion for pain, and, as a self-protection mechanism, has developed an intuitive sense for spotting incoming and probable danger. Some may call it "being a pansy", though.
In terms of diet, Prentiss tends to be difficult. He has never been a fan of fruits and vegetables.
Strengths: Without digging too deep into Prentiss' bag of tricks, let's just mention his swift and agile mind, his vast knowledge of potentially deadly or incapacitating substances, as well as his incomparable skill for lock picking.
Weaknesses: His small frame and the fact that he is physically fragile tends cause him some issues from time to time. His tendency to be very emotive in intense situations is also problematic.
Drugs / Alcohol / Smoking: Prentiss never took drugs and don't intent to either. However, he will gladly have a drink and a smoke from time to time, to blend in with the high social class and socialize with important, influent people. It's important to note that he doesn't tolerate alcohol very well.
Home: Prentiss lives in a small apartment, poorly decorated. The walls are covered with old, decaying wallpaper, but he makes it a point to hide them as much as possible with bookshelves and piles of boxes. He lives in a rather poorly organized, impressive mess, in which he frequently looses or forgets things. He's pleased, however, to live in such an environment.
In the bathroom, he keeps a large collection of spiders, in perfectly aligned jars. While not being insects, arachnids are also part of Prentiss' fascination for small, ugly creatures. He will sometimes allow some of them to walk around freely in the bathtub, and watches them with curious interest. He also keeps a forest scorpion in his sink (along with a large rock for it to hide underneath). Needless to say, Prentiss uses the kitchen's sink.
Small snakes and cockroaches are also part of his roommate community. He's lost many of them at some point in the mess that is his apartment. He sees them from time to time, poking their head out from under a pile of old newspapers.
