"My name is Eric James Johnston,
but I would prefer that you just call me Eric.
Everyone does.
I am obviously male...
Or do you want to check?
Just kidding.
I'm twenty-three years young,
but some people say I look younger..."
Eric James Johnston is twenty-three years old, but in many people's eyes, appears somewhat younger. His behavior, however, is very mature. He knows when to be serious, when to laugh, and when to just shut up. However, he is a natural leader and it isn't a surprise when people go to him for help. He doesn't flirt very often, and keeps his attention focused on his career. He doesn't often date - which has led some people to believe he is gay. He isn't. He will go after a girl on occasion if he really thinks it will be worth it.
Eric does not take disloyalty and lying very lightly. Due to his past, these things are a major turn off when he meets someone new. If he sees these in someone, he doesn't hesitate to leave them. Eric is brutally honest, which can sometimes drive people away from him. He's not afraid to speak his mind, and if he thinks someone else is doing something wrong or inappropriate, he will say something.
Eric is very friendly and considerate of others - and their feelings. He is outgoing, and doesn't easily get stumbled in his words. He is the type of guy to go up to a stranger and start a conversation. He is very comfortable in his body, and wouldn't hesitate to do something crazy. He is mostly unaffected by what others think of him - or at least, he likes to think that. There are times that he worries about people's view on him, though it isn't often.
"I'd say I'm pretty sexy.
I've been told before that I'm handsome,
or something like that.
But then,
those were my girlfriend's words,
and she might have been a little biased.
But, to sum it up,
I have brown hair,
sea blue eyes,
and am about 5'11."
Eric stands at nearly six feet tall - which is not a bad height, if I may say so myself. He has brown hair - 'chocolate brown' as some might say. In different lighting, it will look lighter, darker, richer, or more dull - which is typical. His eyes are a brilliant sea blue, with a hint of green just around the pupil. No, he doesn't wear contacts, which is surprising, considering how bright they are. Eric is about one hundred sixty pounds - of pure muscle. Okay, maybe a tiny bit of fat- but hey, can you blame him? He can't work out all of the time. Back to the point here. Eric is pretty fit, considering how busy his life is, and has a strong build and great physical strength, even if it sometimes doesn't look like it.
"My history is really depressing,
and I would rather not speak about it.
To sum it up,
my mom was beat to death-
by my father.
I watched the whole thing,
but didn't know why he had done that.
I was only six at the time,
and was taken from him, along
with my younger sister.
We never got adopted,
because if one of us got adopted,
the other had to go to.
Plus, I was already at the point
in my life that most boys
would have an attitude,
so nobody ever considered me.
Finally, when my sis turned sixteen,
she got emancipated, and she moved
in with me. I've been taking care of her ever since.
As a young boy, his mother and father seemed like a happy couple. There were a few tensions on occasion, but no major arguments every broke out - at first. After my mother got pregnant and gave birth to a very blonde child, he realized that the child wasn't his, and beat her to death. Eric was only six at the time, and saw the whole thing happen. He was a smart child. He called 911 without his father realizing it. He didn't even know Eric had seen it happen. Eric's father had probably been planning to kill the baby girl too, if it hadn't been for the arrival of police, medics, and many other people. Eric and his little sister, Dahlia, we're put into an orphanage. The police found Dahlia's real father, but decided that he did not provide a safe enough environment, and wasn't ready to take on any children. The two were occasionally fostered, but nobody wanted Eric, and they could only be adopted together, so they never did get adopted. They moved around a lot, until Eric finally turned sixteen and could apply for emancipation. He still spent most of his time with his younger sister though, and when she finally turned sixteen and got emancipated as well, she moved in with him. He's taken care of her ever since. There are some tough times between them, but they are very close, and he is extremely protective of her.
"Well, one obvious thing is that I have a British accent.
Some people say it is very thick,
but they love it, and so do I.
My favorite color is purple-
and no, I'm not gay!
Purple is just an awesome color.
I love music and all forms art.
I enjoy winter above all seasons,
though I'm not sure why.
I can play the guitar fairly well,
and sometimes bleach my hair."
Eric's British accent is extremely thick, but most people love him more because of it. His favorite color is purple - but he isn't gay, or even bisexual. Eric loves music and art - including photography, sketching, painting, digital art, photo editing, and yes, dancing and music is art too! Eric has a strange love for winter, and almost every month that it is spring, summer, or fall, is complaining that it's too hot. Eric loves to play the guitar and sing, but this is his secret hobby that nobody else knows about. He does occasionally bleach his hair, but only when he's getting bored of it and feels like he needs a change.
"I am currently single-
not that it's any of your business.
I don't have a crush on anyone.
I'm getting a little annoyed with the pressure
to get a girlfriend and marry -
blah blah blah. I'm still young,
I still have time, and I have a sister
to take care of. I really don't think
I can have a girlfriend right now."
Eric is pretty sensitive when it comes to his love life. He doesn't like to talk about it, because that would mostly imply that he is searching for the 'love of his life' when he still feels he isn't ready. He has a younger sister that he is caring for, and doesn't think he should settle down with anyone until his sister is ready to move out. Eric doesn't have a crush, he doesn't have a girlfriend, he doesn't have a wife, and he doesn't have any kids. His focus in life is his career and his little sister.
