Well, giving this a shot in the dark. Let me know if I'm doing things wrong >.<
Name:
Charles Anderson
Age:
40
Appearance:
Bio:
Charlie is what you'd call a beta male. For every dominant, take charge guy, there's Charlie sitting comfortable with his hands folded in his lap on the opposite end of the spectrum. He's polite, chivalrous, non-confrontation to the point of cowardly, and a bit more afraid of the world than one would consider healthy. He's the shoulder to cry on, the non-threatening best friend, the 'love you like a brother'. He is completely unable to break this mold, and as such, hasn't been laid in eleven years. Although that is mostly due to the fact that it's been eleven years since he lost his wife.
Natalie died giving birth to their first and only daughter, Madeline, and for years its been a struggle for Charlie to pick up the pieces and continue on with his life. He owns and runs a second-hand shop, living in and renting out the small apartment space above it. Natalie was his entire world, and with her gone, even 11 years later he's still a little lost. The only thing keeping him grounded and on this earth at all is Madeline. She's the only piece of Natalie he has left, and as such, he's fiercely protective of her. While Charlie may be passive and submissive with regards to everything else in his life, if someone puts his little girl in danger there's going to be serious trouble.
That being said, their relationship isn't exactly a strong one. His over-protective nature naturally only ever succeeds in pushing Maddy away from him. At times he feels his daughter is closer to Tessa, the hired help, than she is to him. While this does bother him, his passive nature keeps him from talking to her about it. So instead, he just grudgingly accepts it.
Trivial Facts:
-Clean freak
-Hasn't bought a single article of clothing in the last fifteen years, instead choosing to dress himself with whatever people bring in that catches his eye
-This leads to a rather eccentric style of dress
-Has taken to walking around with a sword-cane someone brought in
-He thinks it makes him look classy, yet badass
-Is constantly avoiding Tessa's attempts to set him up on dates
-Fires at rehires Tessa at least twice a month
