Over his left eyebrow are two silver studs. He also has a silver lip ring on the center of his bottom lip. Below his lip on the left side of his face is a small beauty mark. His figure is relatively thin, but that might be due to the amount of black he wears. It's got a slimming effect y'know? Despite his smaller frame, he his surprisingly muscular, mostly in his legs, shoulders, and arms. He stands at around 5'6....short for his age of 26. He seems to have a slight mischievous smile stuck on his face. He wears a breathable black long sleeve shirt underneath a sleeveless black hoodie. Overtop of that is a pretty expensive looking bulletproof vest with plenty of pockets, pouches, and straps to hold his equipment. He also carries a compact black backpack with him that contains the rest of his equipment. He wears simple but functional black pants and on his left leg is a leg holster. For shoes he wears sturdy combat boots. However, that's mostly for when he's on the job. Casual wear usually consists of a hoodie or jacket of some sort, whatever t-shirt he could pull of the top of the laundry pile, jeans, and boots.
Personality: Averis is playful and mischievous, he loves a good practical joke. He prefers to keep the mood light and tends to try and laugh off serious situations, though that isn't always the case. Averis is very smart, well versed in firearms, tactics, and the general craft of being a sniper. When he finds something that interests him he sort of obsesses over it for a time, though nothing has interested him as much as guns. Despite his normally light hearted attitude, Averis can recognize when he needs to get down to business. When things need to get done, he works efficiently and effectively. Very goal oriented, if he is given a task, he will do his best to see it through.
Brief Backstory(optional): Averis was always a very smart kid, but didn't really fit the mold of schools. Preferring to do what interested when it interested him and often worked ahead or talked back to the teacher. He dropped out of school as soon as he could and pretty much went rogue. Deciding to try and live on his own. It didn't go well for the first few years... at all. Ending up on the streets, a kind older woman took him in and cared for him. Well, turns out that this woman used to be soldier and was well trained in the use of guns and after a lot of begging eventually taught Averis how to use one. That was all it took for Averis to become obsessed with the weapons and managed to get a job in order to pay for his first gun. Practicing on his own and teaching himself what to do with the help of his guardian, he quickly picked up on the art of the sniper. When he was about 16/17 he decided to try and use his skills to earn some money, and indeed found someone who needed someone who could do what he did. However, he let his pride get to his head and was overconfident in his first mission. He ended up falling from his perch and injured himself pretty badly, breaking some bones and his right horn in the fall. After he recovered he was even more determined to do well in his field and threw himself back into his practice. Years later, he had found himself a successful career and a well paying sponsor who paid for some of his gear and weapon maintenance. Unfortunately, in recent years his sponsor backed out of the deal and he hadn't been getting as many jobs.
Other: He likes to give people wild stories as to how he lost his horn, He has a few tattoos but no one has ever seen them, he refuses to get earrings because he doesn't want to get the caught on something during a job, he cuts his own hair and thinks the braid is cool despite what some of his past friends have said
