...appearance*
hair color Dark brown
eye color Deep brown almost black.
build He is average to say it simply. His build is neither muscular or skinny but somewhere in between.
height 6'0”
clothing style He dresses for his work. Usually he is dressed nice, business suits or dress shirts. He doesn't often escape his work life and tends to almost never loose the work look. At times he unbuttons the shirt or loses the tie and it makes him look a little less stiff, but that is rarely.
distinctive traits He is a definite specimen of masculinity. He has a strong jaw, deep eyes, and a presence that makes him attractive, if not for all that fierce pride and distant attitude.
...personal*
personality Oh he has the looks to kill but his attitude needs adjustment. He is overbearing and confrontational. He is known to be short with people and more then a little blunt. It is not in his nature to hide the truth but he keeps secrets well. He seems cold and callous to those he doesn't know his gestures and words are almost always dismissive. His problem though is he is horrible at new relationships. He is just afraid of social situations.
So he became a workaholic. The boy was born a genius in business and so he took to it like a fish to water. Most people who really know him know about the only thing he obsesses over is his job. He has had few relationships most of which have ended for that very reason, he works too much. It takes a special sort of woman to turn his head and he tries his damned best to act indifferent. He just doesn't do affection very well, perhaps his parents just didn't love him enough, who knows but he just doesn't meddle with it often.
His friends will tell you if nothing else he is a good guy. He gives to anyone who is needy, he helps the employees in his company. He has worked very hard for his place in life and he enjoys the lifestyle. He loves having people he cares about over and entertaining them. He just doesn't do well with new people but once he knows someone he shows his true nature. He smiles and laughs and is generally sweet tempered. It is rare he ever loses his head.
He has a strange sense of honor. He feels his trust is something that must be earned. It is hard, once his trust has been lost, to ever restore it. His giving nature makes him need to keep himself that way in order to protect himself. He feels no need to deal with people who find it alright to hurt him or the people he cares about. He is the guy you call when your car was broken into, its pouring rain, and its three am. He will come in a heart beat.
past Gavin was the prodigy son of a wealthy Business man. His father was the president of one of the biggest Law firms in Oregon. So he was born rich and raised at the hand of a brilliant man. He graduated high school at 14 and had his first first degree by 18.
His father raised him hard though. The best he could do was never good enough. If it was an A why wasn't it an A+? If his clothing was wrinkled he had to go back and iron it again. His father was a good man but he wanted a son who know the good in a proper lifestyle. Maybe that's why his mother took off when he was four. So his father pushed him harder making sure to keep him busy to get him through it. Still they had a good relationship. When his father died of a heart attack just after his nineteenth birthday it nearly killed him, however he was the soul heir to his fathers fortune. So he took care of all of the funeral rights and then he became lost.
At the age of 19 he was massively wealthy and alone. So he started out his new life by searching out his mother. Well it turned out he had a younger sister. He went to meet them and found himself wanting nothing to do with that life that could have been.
He left Oregon just a few months later and picked up school in New York, New York. He discovered he had a knack for the stock market and began investing. In three years, and some very good business choices, he became the CEO of Snap, a major search engine (think google). He graduated that same year with his two degrees and moved into his cushy corner office to manage the company.
In the last year under his command he has improved the business almost three fold. He was born to rule the corporate ladder. However he can't leave his work at work. He loves what he does and does it with ease. On the eve of his one year mark as CEO he rented himself a penthouse apartment, complete with a roof top garden. Then he bought himself two pure bred dogs and settled into his life. His house is full of very nice, very little used furniture. The only rooms that look used are the bedroom and the office, with a little use in the living room.
The entire place is spotless however, everything has a place and everything is in it. He hires one maid and does the rest himself.
present Benson spends his time in three places for the most part. The office, his penthouse apartment, or the park with his dogs. He will go to events when he has to and occasionally takes a breather, but it is rare, to wander the city. His night life is a sometimes thing but usually only with close friends. He tends to avoid places with large numbers of people he doesn't know.
He is most often seen in central park throwing a ball or Frisbee to his dogs. He has recently found himself lonely up in his fortress of solitude. He has started roaming the city either alone or with one of his dogs. He just doesn't feel comfortable being cooped up for so many hours. It's new and odd.

other notes Gavin is a little ocd. He needs to keep his home spotless or he goes a little batty. So he will clean himself as well as hiring a maid.

roleplay sampleThe sun glimmered off the ocean early on this summer morning. The sand was pretty much empty so far, it was too early for most and though it was already warm people weren't ready to jump out to the beaches just yet. Seagulls road the breezes calling back and forth to each other lazily as they skimmed the waves in their haughty way.
Alexi watched them from her perch in a beach chair lazing the morning away. Her umbrella was already set above her head leaving her pleasantly shaded from the sun as it began its climb upwards through the sky. She held a simple notebook in her slender hands and was sketching a new dress over the lines of the paper, her tailor would kill her, she would be happy. Thus was life. She had gotten lucky. She had been born into the body of a woman who people simply wanted to believe what she said.
She liked to compare herself to that Russian spy who had recently been caught, but that was the difference. Alexi was confident she would never be caught. As far as she knew that damn hound was still trapped up in the heavens and would be for all eternity. So much the better for her extravagant life style. She was the most notorious thief in existence and had never been caught, and as chance would have it that was just the way Zuse had shaped her. She flipped her sunglasses down and stared at her sketch through the gray tinted world.
“More slink.” she said and tapped her lip with the end of her pen. Her eyes raised to watch a couple jog down the beach and she smiled. “After all I can't be looking like your average hussy at this party. This is important. I need access to more connections and I need to be noticed.” She turned her gaze down to the paper and ripped it out with a frustrated sigh. She crumpled it up and chucked it into the sand.
“I'll work on it later.” She tucked the pen into the spine of her notebook and snapped it shut. With a shake of her head she tucked a lock of red hair behind her ear and stood up. Her wrapped skirt fell and hung about her knees, slit up one side to show a little more leg. The simple green bikini top went well with the brown, fern print skirt, simple and flattering. If nothing else the woman had style.
“Being a stylish monster is so difficult in this day and age.” She slipped the notebook into her purse and slid her toes back into their homes in her flip flops and started back to the car, “Well thus is life, and a good life it is after all.”
