Name: Ethan CuskleyAge: 17Date of Birth: November 1, ((Year depends on the campaign date XD ))Birthplace: Beldore Hollow, Virginia ((Now Shenandoah National Park area))Hair: A little past the shoulders, very curly, light brown.  Sometimes down, sometimes tied back with a ribbon.Eyes: Hazel-Amber Height: 5’7”Skin: Fair, with frecklesBuild: Thin: gangly that is starting to put on some muscle (growing out of the awkward teen stage)Race:  "Human" (as far as he knows) Really: Half-demonDistinguishing Features:  Ethan has six fingers – (complete extra digit – mid-ray duplication) on his left hand.  ((He is also left handed.)) He is also never seen without his intricate silver Celtic Cross pendant around its cord around his neck (though it is sometimes tucked into his clothing). General Appearance/Attitude:Ethan, thanks to his (half) Irish ancestry is fair-skinned and thin, with curly hair, and freckles covering his nose, cheeks, and over his shoulders and back.  He is sometimes seen sporting stubble (his closest approximation yet to facial hair) when he is trying to make himself look older and not at a point where he has realized that his sparse stubble only draws more teasing.  His hazel-amber eyes flash with defiance and curiosity, eager to see the world and make his mark.
