---personality---Ekho is a tried and true jerk. He doesn't care what others feel, he just cares that you leave him alone. Anyone who has
come close to him has certainly felt his bite. Even with the lose of his voice, Ekho has still proven to be as rude as
possible. It's not really his fault he can't stand people, it's just that other people have never understood him. It takes a
resilient personality in order to get past his defenses as he doesn't leave many openings visible. Growing up as he did,
this was a character trait that not only protected him but got him into more trouble then he can count. To bad he can
no longer talk with way out of the corner. This builds on his next characteristic, his inability to to not keep his
theoretical mouth shut. He is always at the ready with a smart-alack reply for even the most mundane comments. Count
on him to be the spoil sport.
He also is very quiet, as can be understood. Someone without a voice is of course unable to speak. But he is also quiet in
other ways. Ekho has never had a problem with keeping to himself, tucked away where other's can't find him. He just
doesn't understand people. Always looking for a chance to escape, Ekho uses his blunt personality in order to get away. He
is also quiet in other ways as well. Being a hunter requires it at times. He has never had to practice the stealth skills it
takes to sneak up on a sleeping vampire or a wayward werewolf. That is a skill that has always just come naturally to him.
Ekho is the epitome of nervous. It used to only be a small thing, helping him keep an eye out in crowded school hallways
and loud foster homes. It was a trait that has saved him from many a bully. Now though, this trait has grown exponentially
as Ekho struggles to still get over the fact that he was cursed. He no longer has the ability to call out to someone should
he need help, so keep and eye out he does. There are to many people and creatures out there who intend to do him harm
and he is utterly to aware of this fact. This at times has made him even jumpy when he doesn't hear the the bell jingle on
the door or when someone approaches him and catches him unawares. One can never be to careful...
Lastly, Ekho is vindictive. He has tried to tame this trait, as it is one of the reasons he is stuck in his current situation. It
feeds off his need to be seen and heard instead of ignored. This trait has only festered over the years as he wishes he were
the one to kill the jerk who had taken his voice, who had planned to take more. A common houshold bully usually only
garnered the need to fill the jerk's locker with rotting fruit or some other disgusting object, but once having played witness
to the hunting community and seen the damage done to families Ekho just couldn't help himself. He wanted these families to
be able to finally get the revenge they deserved for the injustices set upon them.
