personality
Friendly - Henry gets along with anyone and everyone. He's always the one to save a conversation from an awkward silence, usually by virtue of some crude joke about his excretory system. He tends to make friends easily, and is always willing to, no matter how awful a person may seem to be--he likes to find the good in everyone.
Ambitious - Henry is proud of his work, and he's always thrilled to talk about it to anyone who's willing to listen. That said, this can sometimes get in the way of forming relationships with people; in the end Henry will always choose career over friends if necessary, and when people ask him about long-term romantic relationships, he'll always tell them that he's married to his work. And while this ambition may hold true for his career, unfortunately it doesn't translate over to his schoolwork; Henry believes that he can succeed well enough on his own without much help from professors, so he tends to sleep in class, which translates to less-than-admirable grades.
Selective - While he may be all about the ladies, when it comes to actual romantic relationships, Henry rarely forms them. Henry is friends with a lot of people, but no one ever seems to be good enough to be girlfriend-worthy. Henry is the type who's looking for perfection, and nitpicks every little detail. As far as he's concerned people can date who they want, but what he wants is only the best.
Dorky - Whether you need to know video games, comic books, computer problems, or useless scientific facts, Henry's your guy. He keeps a pretty wide domain of information regarding all things 'dork', and tends to reveal this information at the most inappropriate of times. Henry is far from embarrassed by his hobbies, randomly referencing obscure quotes or memes in regular conversation, no matter who he's talking to. While Henry is certainly confident, he's far from 'smooth.'
Crude - Henry loves potty humor, sexual innuendos, and really anything dirty or otherwise eye-roll inducing. Though most people would keep this kind of talk limited to good friends alone, Henry uses it in even the most polite of company. And while Henry finds it hilarious and completely acceptable in public, many tend to get easily annoyed by his sometimes excessive use of it.
past
Henry has a very boring past. So boring a past that I don't know that I'll actually be able to write three paragraphs of five sentences each on it. In fact, it would probably benefit you to not even read these paragraphs, as it would only be a waste of thirty seconds doing so, and the opportunity cost of doing so far outweighs the quality of his extra-ordinary past. (And yes, I do mean 'extra-ordinary,' which is an entirely different word from 'extraordinary' altogether, keep in mind.)
April 6th, 1989, Marguerite Gosse gave birth to the Gosses' first child, a little boy they named Henry Bishop after Marguerite's grandfather, who had died just a few months earlier. Henry was a perfectly normal child; he played football (the English kind, that is), got decent grades, had plenty of friends--everything the Gosses could have expected without any particularly exceptional skills or qualities. Ten years later they gave birth to their second and last child, a daughter, Beverly. When Henry grew into his teens he gave up football for his preferred interests in video games and writing. In this time he also became rather proficient in computer programming, having taken a few classes after being introduced to it by a neighbor.
Thus he grew up in a very normal manner, without any striking events in particular to account for. Despite the huge age gap, he was very close to his younger sister, whom he had sort of trained to become his 'protege,' at least as far as their shared interests in all things nerdom. When the time came for him to go off to university, however, Henry looked across the water for a school with a bit more opportunity than his hometown offered. Finding New York to be a perfectly suitable location to carry out his dreams, Henry settled into J. Barrie University, initially majoring in English with a minor in Computer Science, but later switching to a double major in Electrical Engineering and Computer Engineering.
Henry did well enough, at least well enough to graduate and then attend graduate school for Computer Engineering. While he was at school he also made friends with a few of his fellow STEMmates, with whom he decided to start an independent video game development company. With the help of some students from the English and art departments, they began to develop their first full-fledged game, and are still in production stages.
present
Seeing as how his indie game company is still in its infant stages, Henry of course had to find a job outside of it to pay the rent. Henry juggles graduate school, his company, as well as working as a Geek Squad Agent at the local Best Buy, performing only decently in school and his real job so that he may focus on his development company without completely neglecting social interaction. He occasionally enjoys the particular company of females, but rarely the same female more than once or twice in a given month.
As far as people back at home go, Henry still keeps in touch with his family, particularly his sister who he keeps a strict 'call-at-least-once-a-week' rule with, and a few choice friends from his childhood. He has lost touch with most people he knows from his hometown, however, aside from 'friending' them on various online social networks. Henry doesn't foresee himself returning to Chester any time soon, if ever, preferring life in the big city of New York.

...literature*
book title The Princess and the Pea
backstory There's this prince and he's going all around the world looking forCarmen San Diegohis future wife, but he refuses every princess because they're not perfect. So then he goes back to his castle to probably whine to his mother about how he's forever alone, and, lo and behold! Some wretch shows up on his doorstep in the middle of a thunderstorm claiming to be a princess. Now, the queen-mother is all "LOLWTFNO," and to be honest I don't really blame her, because why the fuck is a princess trouncing around all alone in some foreign country during a rainstorm? But anyway, the queen is like "LOLOKAYFINE, COME IN," but then secretly plots to stash a pea beneath a dozen mattresses piled high for the princess to sleep on. The princess is like, "LOLOKAYTHX," for what I'm assuming is her astounding ability to recognize strange customs of sleeping on dozens of mattresses at once, which they must do on a nightly basis in this foreign land. Anyway, she can't sleep because she feels that gd pea in her back all night, and the prince is like "OMG YOU ARE A PRINCESS YOU'RE SO DELICATE AND FLOWERLIKE AND NON-PEA-RESISTANT OMG I LOVE YOU LET'S GET MARRIED" and then they get married and the last line of the story is "Now this is a true story." which is a terrible way to end a story.
