take a look at yourself
Timothy isn't exactly one of the hottest guys to roam on this planet but he is the type of guy that is classified as 'tall, dark and handsome' which is pretty true. Both of Timothy's parents are fairly dark so it was only expected that Timothy would turn out the same. He has a fairly rugged bad-boy look that many girls seem to find appealing. It's when they get to know his personality that they get put off. Despite being a rather rugged guy who doesn't like to shave a whole lot, Timothy can pull off a tux pretty well. It's just a shame that his normal attire isn't quite up to the same standards. Usually you'll find Timothy in his favourite pair of ripped jeans and an old shirt. He isn't one to get dressed up or spend a lot of money on his appearance because he doesn't have that much money so he prefers to spend his small amounts of cash on better things.
when you look me in the eyes
Timothy has always had fairly small eyes but he doesn't really have a problem with them. They are small though and whenever Timothy smiles, his eyes crinkles at the sides, making them even smaller. He almost always has bags under his eyes because he is a night-owl and one of his bad habits is staying up late. He doesn't even spend his late nights studying like most people do. No, most of Timothy's late nights are spent reading, writing poetry, listening to music or sneaking out to chill with his mates until the early morning. No one else knows about his poetry though of course. His eyes are a deep shade of brown.
His strong chiseled jaw is one of Timothy's strongest physical features. He only started to grow stubble when he turned seventeen and still hates shaving so it's not uncommon for him to be sprouting a half-beard. Although he rarely smiles, his lips seem to always have the beginning of a smirk or smile on them as if he knows something you don't and he knows it.
soul meets body
Timothy has a fairly skinny frame. He was never the type of guy to work out a lot and doesn't actually enjoy sport that much so you won't see many muscles on his body. Timothy is the sort of guy that will run if he has to but he's rather walk everywhere. Sport was never his favourite sport and whenever the sports coaches tell him to run, whether it be for cross-country running, long distance, or just running around on the field, he walks just to annoy people and because he doesn't like it much anyway. Oddly enough, whenever he's bored, he is quite willing to go for a jog but that's mainly to keep himself fit in his own way and he prefers to run at his own pace without people telling him where to run to and how fast to go.
Standing at a fairly tall height of 5'8 feet means that Timothy definitely has the tall advantage over most of his family. Both of his brothers are shorter than him and only his father is taller than him but not by much. Timothy does like being tall because it definitely has its perks when he needs to hide things from his brothers because all he has to do is put things in high places and they're safe. He hasn't always liked being tall and before he hit puberty he was very long and lanky, giving him a much-hated goofy look and he was tripping over things all the time but he got over that thankfully.

character personality ,
personality:
introverted,, rebel,, jerk,, loyal,, softie inside,,
Firstly, Timothy isn't a big talker. He's very introverted and rarely speaks a lot unless he is asked to and even then you are lucky to get more than a few words from him. He's the type of guy that spends most of his days grunting out responses to questions and it's highly unlikely that he'll actually start a conversation unless he is talking to a very close friend. Timothy wasn't always so quiet and sullen though. As a young boy he used to be a lot more talkative and regularly annoyed his parents with his constant chatter. His father was always a bad tempered person though and one day he told Timothy to shut up so Timothy did. He is shy too and hates talking or performing in front of big crowds. Definitely don't expect Timothy to be standing up in the Debating Team or up at the school talent shows.
Timothy's personality has evolved a lot since his young talkative days. Another big change is the rebel within. Then again that part of him was always there but when Timothy hit fourteen his attitude changed a lot. Timothy hates rules and anything that requires him to do what someone else thinks is right is like death for him. He hates teachers and loathes school and he makes his opinion heard quite frequently. The only good part about school to him is seeing his mates and all the hot girls, and stirring up the teachers too. Timothy is the type of guy who will call out the crude comment that others were thinking but were smart enough to keep to themselves but Timothy seems to have no shame. While he is a very introverted person and hates having too much attention put on him, he doesn't seem to have a problem with getting into trouble in class. He spends a lot of his time in detention but doesn't mind a bit. He loves the adrenaline rush he gets whenever he knows he's in danger and lives for this rush.
Along with this rebel attitude is the jerk to go with it. Timothy has ended up with a very rude personality - mainly caused by his dad who isn't exactly a candidate for the Father-Of-The-Year award. With the bad influence of his dad and not to mention his friends, it isn't hard to see how he turned out like he did. Timothy doesn't say his please-and-thank-yous and won't hold the door open for anyone but himself, and don't even consider asking him to do a favour for you because chances are he'll give you a flat out 'No'. He never quite understood the whole 'Chivalry' concept which has gotten him no where with girls but occasionally there will be the girl who thinks she can 'save' him from his gloom and if they're cute enough Timothy will usually let them hang around so he can get a bit of action but eventually he gets bored and the girl discovers that all hope was gone long ago and that's the end of that story.
On the complete flip-side to this rude, introverted jerk is the softer side of Timothy Suresh that he really tries to keep undercover as much as possible. Deep down, Timothy can be a really nice guy and one of the best friends you'll ever have. He is very loyal to those he chooses to be loyal to and if he cares about you, you'll know about it. He stands up for those he cares about and if he hears someone bagging someone he cares about, he won't hesitate to stand up for them. He isn't so loyal to his family - especially not his parents - but he does love his brothers most of the time and his friends are probably the people he cares most about. With his friends he can really be himself and he doesn't have to worry about who is watching and how he needs to act right now. His friends have always accepted him for being who he is, even if other people aren't so cool about it.

history: ( a decent length. birth - now )meet the parents,
Harry Suresh was never a high achiever. He left that job to his older brother Frank who was clearly the brains of the family and always had been. Harry was used to it and while he got pushed to the sidelines, he found his own thing to do. He drank. And he drank. And then he drank a little more. Yes, Harry turned into an alcoholic much to the dismay of his parents and his brother. Frank was disappointed to see his little brother turning out like he was at such a young age but Harry didn't care about what his family though because he was simply too miserable. To him, they were only giving him sympathy because they felt they had to, not because they actually cared about him like he wished they would. In all honesty, the rest of the family did love him but it was difficult to show it when the person you love was constantly drunk and throwing fits at the most oddest of times.
Eventually Harry moved away from his family and ended up in the tiny town of Hinesville in Georgia, right in the Southern area of USA. It was here that he met Catherine Hicks who was only a few years younger than him and fairly pretty. Pretty enough to catch his eye around town several times anyway. Of course Harry still loved his alcohol a little too much so he didn't get around to getting to know Catherine but onedaynight when Harry was getting nice and drunk at the local town bar, Catherine took pity on his sorry figure and offered to take him home since he clearly couldn't drive. After that, Harry felt obliged to go and thank her and that thank-you somehow led to a date which led to another date which eventually led to an engagement. The wedding was fairly small and Harry did invite his family after Catherine insisted it would be rude not to. He was in no position to disagree with her and honestly he had no idea why she'd actually agreed to marry him but none the less, they had a perfect wedding and couldn't have been happier - well unless Harry wasn't the alcoholic that he was but he managed to keep his drinking to a minimum with Catherine around.hey baby,
After a almost a year, Catherine started getting clucky and it wasn't long before she gave birth to their first child Jackson Suresh. He was a fairly easy going child and a delight for both Catherine and Harry, but he wasn't enough but they wanted to dedicate their time to raising him properly before having another child. Of course they couldn't wait too long and only two years later, Catherine found herself pregnant again. She was overjoyed of course although Harry was unsure of how he was going to continue paying for the family's needs on his small postman's wage but none the less, on the Seventeenth of June, Catherine gave birth to her second boy Timothy Lucas Suresh.
Timothy's birth was a fairly easy one and he was home in a matter of days but his older brother wasn't so happy about it. Jackson might have only been two but he noticed the lack of attention he was getting. Timothy was only a baby though so he couldn't help it. He was a fairly quiet baby and didn't cry much so he was very much loved by his parents who enjoyed their good night sleeps. Having two children was hard on Catherine and Harry though. Harry was only a low payed postman and Catherine was a waitress at the local bar so neither of them earned much money and it was hard to afford nice things for the two boys so they didn't get many nice toys and their lifestyle was far from the life their cousin Nina was living over in the rich town of Valkyrie but the boys didn't know about that because they'd never been there so Timothy grew up feeling pretty happy.
A few more years later, Timothy and his brother were joined by yet another sibling but this time it was a girl. Little Alexandra was unexpected but very much welcomed and although Timothy and Jackson were a little wary of Alex, they decided that she was alright and loved her just like big brothers should.when i grow up,
When Timothy started school, he didn't think about the second-hand uniform he was wearing, or the small lunch with last week's bread he was eating because his parents couldn't get any bread yet. So naturally he was a little surprised when a couple of the kids decided to make fun of him, calling him 'poor'. Although he was only young and didn't understand the term, he knew it wasn't good. From that point onwards, he began to pay more attention to his family's lifestyle compared to others. Things only got worse when Uncle Frank decided that the petty feud between himself and Timothy's dad had gone on long enough and invited them to go and visit during Timothy's Summer holidays when he was fourteen. As soon as Harry Suresh's old beat-up ford drove into Valkyrie, Timothy realised just how different their life was. Everything about Valkyrie amazed him and seeing all the pretty people walking around with their seemingly perfect lifestyles - well to say Timothy was envious was a big understatement. He never wanted to go back to small town Hinesville ever again.
Unfortunately the short holiday ended and Timothy found himself back in Hinesville in time for school but now something had changed. Timothy was much more observant about everything and he noticed the way his dad went out late at night and didn't come home until early morning. He noticed the worry lines on his mother's forehead as she struggled to keep earning enough money while her husband's drinking only got worse and most of all, Timothy noticed the lack of nice things in the house and he hated it. Timothy loathed being poor and he hated his dad for wasting his money on alcohol. With all this anger inside Timothy, it began to show at school as he started acting up. He began to forget about the rules, or at least he didn't care about them anyway. He called out in class, made crude and inappropriate comments, and was an overall nuisance. His friends admired him and encouraged him but the girls weren't so impressed. Of course then there were the girls who thought they could 'tame' him but he wasn't a wild animal. He was just a boy who hated his family and wanted to break out and do better.just a teenager,
Things didn't change much over the next few years. Timothy spent basically every summer at his cousin's house in Valkyrie. Although he and Nina weren't the closest of cousins, they got along and she understood his love for the town. They didn't really have a lot to do with each other and sometimes the only time they'd be around each other was at breakfast and dinner time. Most of the time he was off doing his thing with the friends he'd made and Nina continued on with her life. It was the most relaxing part of Timothy's year and he spent all year waiting for it. Harry was now an alcoholic again and he was only getting worse while Catherine tried to ignore it. Jackson didn't seem too fussed about it and although he was concerned about his dad's health, he didn't show it much. Alexandra was too busy concentrating on school and her friends to be worrying about things at home so the problems slipped past her unnoticed. With years flying by, Jackson graduated and he got a job, moving into a town only a few minutes away, Timothy got suspended several times and Alexandra had her first boyfriend despite being much younger than her mother preferred.
But when Timothy finished school and his dad started talking about him joining the postman business since he hadn't got very high marks in his exams, Timothy had had enough. He was sick of watching his family deteriorate and in his eyes, it was because of his drunk father. Naturally a fight ensued and Timothy and his dad spent several long hours shouting at each other. There was no way Timothy wanted to stay in the small town for the rest of the life but his dad thought he had no choice. He wasn't particularly skilled in anything (well not that his dad knew of) so where could he go? Timothy was unsure of an answer to this because he didn't really have anywhere to go but eventually he ended the fight, declaring that he was leaving for good. Grabbing as many possessions as he could, he threw them into a suitcase and stormed out of the house without saying another word. Once he was out of the house, he caught the next bus out of town and realised he had no where to go. But then he remembered Valkyrie - the one place he always longed to live in so he called his cousin and made sure she was warned when he turned up on her doorstep. This was the beginning of a new life and although he missed his mother and his siblings, there was no way he was going back home. This was his home now.
