Charles Smoot
Charles Smoot, 57 Year old biology teacher born and raised in upstate New York. Currently living in Queensbury NY. Happily married, well, was happily married to my lovely wife Joy, and father of two beautiful children, Ben and Charlotte. We all are going through a bit of a rough patch recently. It all started when our youngest moved out to go to college. It has been a year since then; since everything went went down hill. Joy moved out, I lost the house, and I have been having to teacher extra classes on the side to help support by children with their college tuition. We all used to be so close knit, I honestly don't know where it all went wrong. With all the students papers piling up on top of all the stress I already had, I ended up picking up smoking again. No reason not to. Joy and the kids were the only reason I quit. Don't get me wrong I love my kids and my wife, but they have just felt so distant. Even my students who I used to feel so connected with and inspired by have felt detached from the lessons. I just want to get back to the way things used to be. I am trying to push forward to make amends to build back up where I used to be. My doctor says I have been pushing my self to hard, and that I might just need to accept things they way they are, but honestly I just haven't been able to sleep, and need something to do to fill all my empty time. The only wrong answer is to stand still, so I have been trying to push forward no matter how exhausted I am.
Physical Description
General Physical Condition
A tall 6’6” and broad muscular man’s man 245lbs. An aged and rugged outdoorsman. He has a very square jaw, chin, and temple as well as high cheekbones. Though he is normally very well groomed, because he has not been able to shave for many days he would definitely have the making of scruff. All of his hair comes in thick and full. Bushy eyebrows, thick hair, and a full beard would be quite possible if not tended to, though he is not quite there yet.
Mental characteristics
Personal history
He grew up boy-scout, and then later became an eagle scout. All the while he was on both the high school and college wrestling team, so he is no stranger to early morning wake-up calls. After studying biology to better understand the outdoors, he found a calling in teaching others the beauty of nature and has been a career long biology teacher. Even in his late 50’s he will still do 250 push-ups and 500 sit-ups every morning after stretching as part of a well practiced routine. He has tried to live life to the fullest, but after all the years of camping, hiking, exploring nature/wildlife, and the hardest of all teaching he has slowly been worn down over the years. While he loves to smile, have a good time, and watch others younger them himself grow and learn, his default facial expression would certainly be a weary scowl. From doing this so often he would probably have developed age lines and wrinkles.
