Bio: Paris

Name: Paris Howe Strewe
Nickname(s): None really. Dave sometimes calls me Blue and I once got called Howie by a kid at school, but only once. Over the years, I've got used to Paris, and it's pretty cool being named after a prince ;) *glances at Dave snickering* Achillies isn't a nickname!
PHYSICAL APPEARANCE
Date of Birth: 23rd February 1977
Birthplace: Auckland, New Zealand
Hair color: Sun bleached blonde
Hair style: Shoulder length, usually a little on the shaggy side
Eyes: Cerulean Blue
Glasses: Nope
Skin tone: Pale golden tan
Facial hair/makeup: Five o'clock shadow is the norm, or one of those short, carved beards when I've got the time
Height: 6' 1"
Build: Well built, lean
Special physical characteristics: Amazing blue eyes, kind smile (*blushes modestly*)
General health: Very good. Practised Aikido and Tai Chi since I was a kid.
Specific health problems: None now. I was in hospital for 6 weeks when I was 20 with a viral infection. Temperature was up so high, I was out of it for weeks, and not expected to pull through. I did survive, but it changed things. And I have very vivid, lucid dreams
First thing you notice: Er, apparently the whole package (well, that's what Sophie told me!)
What does character consider his/her best physical characteristic?: My smile
Worst characteristic?: A jagged scar, towards the back of my neck, just where it meets my left shoulder, about three inches long. One of the reasons I keep my hair the length it is. And don't bother asking how I got it, because whatever I tell you, it won't be the truth.
PREFERENCES/TASTES
Favorite color: I like spicy colours, terracottas, ochres,
Favorite foods: Pizza!
