Persona
Now though it's almost as if Farren is hanging around just to see what could possibly happen next. He hasn’t lost the will to live or become suicidal like he did once before. He’s simply unsure what to do with his life: he is without meaning or direction, essentially a lost soul. He used to believe strongly in morality and “doing the right thing” but now he’s become largely amoral, drifting along and doing whatever catches his fancy. If you can't tell, Farren's personality is very complex. You have to learn in pieces, bit by bit.
Mentality: Sane, with touches of depression and rejection of reality.
Ideal: Cynical Idealism: he stills believes in what the world could be but hates everything about it right now.
Belief: Lapsed Roman Catholic
Hobbies: Vintage motorcycle repair and racing, road trips, hiking/wilderness exploration, physical fitness and fight training.
Talents: Accomplished driver of both cars and motorcycles and self-taught harmonica player. Also well versed in survival skills.
Favorite things: West Virginia moonshine, warm sun, and a comforting woman.

Combat
Years Practiced: 7
Description: During his run through high school, Farren was known for having a high-risk, almost suicidal style. Almost every one of his attacks was knockout powerful but they carried a high percentage of failing. Flying kicks, blind sided elbows, backflips and spins, jumping off of a two story building. He'd use any weapon that was lying around and made excellent use of the environment, once counter attacking an opponent by purposely getting thrown through a glass window just so he could kick a broken shard at the other man later. He was unafraid to put his body on the line. If you took a Mexican lucha libre wrestler, threw his soul into a six foot tall white guy, and gave him a mean right cross, you'd get Farren. Unpredictable, adaptable, and dangerous to both himself and his opponent, fighting Farren was a kill-or-be-killed event. Thus the reason he earned the nickname, "The Human Highlight Reel."
Now however, Farren is beginning to mature and mellow. After the traumatizing events since he left 552, Farren has begun to redevelop his style. While he still prefers high flying, high risk attacks, he is now just as likely to use old fashioned boxing and ground fighting to get the job done. He has been practicing his grappling and submission skills (his choke holds are especially powerful now) and he's polished his boxing counter attacks and defense. He has also become more brutal in his attacks, no longer messing around but aiming right for incapacitation and kill shots like the neck, groin, and spine right off the bat. With a little more time and energy, Farren will be as deadly a threat on the ground as he is from above.
Personal Weaknesses
Farren has just recently recovered from over two years of experimental medical treatment and rehabilitation along with a year's worth of depression and wandering. As such, his overall fitness is lacking to a significant amount, compared to his peak high school level, and given his amazing physical appearance. His strength and speed are nearly half of what he once had and while he intends to build them back up quickly, for the moment, he is relatively weak. He is also prone to getting distracted by too many events going on at once and bad memories suddenly flashing into his mind, almost akin to PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder). He could quite literally zone out right in the middle of a fight or become incapacitated by depression or anger.
Personal Strengths
One thing has always been true of Farren: he has a tough hide. Like a slab of iron, Farren can take massive amounts of punishment and remain not only alive but more than capable of carrying on any activity. For example, he once ripped open the corner of his lips several inches just so he could dislodge a man's fist from his mouth. Heart and determination; he's the Rocky Balboa of the high school world. Also, Farren now has several years of combat experience under his belt. He has become quite good at reading attacks and anticipating moves. And finally, though his emotional state is constantly in flux, his mental capacities are quite sharp. Given enough time, he can read almost anyone's true emotion or motive and figure out even the most complicated scheme. Given enough time that is.

I'm working on detail but let's get some bullet point basics, okay?
> Born in Odinburgh, West Virginia in 1989.
> Mother died in childbirth. Raised by father and his "Uncle," actually just an old friend of the family.
> Never knew much of anything outside the mountains of WV till he was a young teen.
> Father died in a hunting accident when Farren was 12. Now an orphan, he disappeared before child services could catch him.
> Spent the next three to four years wandering America. Many of his adventures are still untold.
> Picked up a habit for smoking during this time.
> At around the age of 16 he was picked up in New York City on misdemeanor charges of vandalism/assault.
> Sent to PHS #552 in lieu of time in juvenile hall.
> Freshman through Sophomore year was spent simply surviving. Ran into the likes of Vetis, James, Jyo, and several other top students and fighters early on.
> Came into his own his Junior year, defeating several high-ranked opponents. Opened the Fight Club, which still meets up to this day. Also the first time he met friend/enemy/comrade Xaier, one of his only remaining contacts in the City.
> Started getting involved with school politics. Meet up with many key figures and groups in the days to come, including Reign of Blood, The Defenders, Karel, Narin, Kate (his only past love) and some weird girl with a dog named Riesling.
> Mid way through Junior year was appointed a Pillar. Took to the job well but realized all too late the enormity of his task.
> Spent the rest of his Junior year battling for control of the school with limited help from his peers, resorting at one point to virtual martial law on school grounds.
> Toward the end of his political career, Farren discovered that his smoking habit had caused a jump start on lung cancer that he was genetically predisposed to.
> The cancer spread fast and Farren relinquished his title and disappeared, reappearing from time to time in increasingly terrible shape. Often drunk, drugged up, and violent.
> After battling the cancer for months, Farren gave in and committed "suicide" on school grounds.
> As fate would have it, Farren was tricked: a medical doctor faked his death and used the young man as a guinea pig for his experiments on treating terminal cancer patients.
> Despite bad odds, Farren managed to survive the treatments and rehab, but the damage mentally was done: it had taken two years to get him back to health.
> Farren returned to NYC briefly to see what the school looked like now, meeting up with old enemy turned friend Xaier.
> Not yet ready emotionally to face the school again, Farren disappeared again (Are you noticing a pattern here?).
After several months on the open road, and many of his past demons finally fading, Farren has decided to move to San Diego and try to start over. He never officially finished school and instead earned his GED before leaving NYC. Since he is no longer a student but listed as a former Pillar, he has privileges to enter and be in the school at will, though he can no longer take titles such as Captain. Mostly he spends his time hanging around the city and the school grounds, doing odd jobs and contemplating what the hell to do with his life.
**Note - All PHS #259 history is considered non canonical and thus he never went there but straight from NYC to San Diego.**
*This is going to take a while to finish so check back later. If you need any specific info, PM me and I'll be glad to give it to you.*

Living Status Information
Description: Farren has never been a big fan of expensive or complex things. Chalk it up to his small town West Virginian roots, being an orphan at a young age, or his many years wandering on the road. It could very well just be his nature to shun the flash and grandeur of the high life.
So when he finally settled down near San Diego it was no surprise he stayed true to his past. Since log cabins like the one he grew up in are scarce in California, he settled for the next best thing. He bought an old Japanese tea house (built by a former millionaire for his garden), moved it to a rolling patch of hills near the beach, and converted it by himself into a single room, bungalow-style home.
The entire setup is quite simple. He has two small porches, a front and back with a pair of handmade wood chairs on each. There is also a hammock set up on the back porch, facing towards the ocean. Inside are two twin beds, a dresser, two person dining table, overhead fan, and a large lockable chest where he keeps most of his valuables. Unseen in the photos is the front corner where he has a small refrigerator and oven/stove, just enough for basic cooking. Bathrooms and showers are located separately in a tiny stone building away from the main house, a few yards down a dirt path.

Torso | IMPACT Vest Sheet Metal (3 lbs.), Wire Metal (1.4 lbs.), Plastic (2.25 pounds), Studs (.3 lbs.) Originally designed as safety wear for wakeboarders and kiteboarders, Farren has had this vest redesigned with real world combat in mind. It is made of a blended Kevlar and steel weave with padding made of dilatant D3o technology that is normally lightweight and malleable but hardens like rock on impact. It is capable of stopping nearly all blade attacks and can dull the impact of nearly any blow, even bats and batons. It cannot stop bullets entirely but small arms fire like pistols will be greatly reduced in effectiveness, keeping penetration to a minimum. There are several points of adjustment meaning a perfect, snug fit every time. It is light, flexible, and can be concealed beneath a regular T-shirt with relative ease. |
Power 1: Fireproof and Lightning/Electric Proof when the vest takes the hit.
Power 2: Cuts the effectiveness of physical blows landed on the vest by a fourth. (3/4 of attacker's STR, taking into account increased STR due to weapons, items, etc.)
