Name: Sylvan Dane Peters
Age: 20
Birthday: January 17th 1995
Appearance: Sylvan is a lightweight. Standing at 5'7 and weighing just a few pounds over a hundred, he tends to wear clothes that reveal and embellish his skinny frame rather than hide it. His charming mug and confident smile do a great job in distracting from his faults, works like a charm when testing out his sleight of hand under the watchful eye of a shopkeeper. He's procured several tattoos over the years, the most obvious one being a bird upon his neck. They go up and down both arms as well, to his hands. He keeps his hair pretty short and will touch it up with pomade but not enough to start resembling a greaser.
Personality: He loves to be a sneak, even if he doesn't blend in that well. If he finds that he is in someone's immediate attention he does not hesitate to find out why. There's a way to his words, he can talk himself out of just about any situation. With his profession as a freelance thief, it definitely comes in handy. At a distance, Sylvan has the standoffish badboy kind of demeanor to him - if the tattoos and constant air of detached observation about him weren't a dead giveaway. He's always looking out for a loose wallet or open purse and he'll wait till the time is prime to take his pickings. It gives him a thrill, that adrenaline better than any sort of upper on the market as far as he's concerned. He gets that same adrenaline from his love of heights as well. Often a lookout for his friends when they alternated their crimes down the stretches of highway unlucky enough to be in their path. Also, main reason his body is practically covered in tattoos, he gets his kicks off from that pleasurable pain that comes along with them. If it's not stealing or heights or pain, it's sex. He can be a bit of an exhibitionist at that. The more exposed, the better. Many a time he had his close call, though unfortunately for his kinks, many folks don't exactly like walking in to a closet that is groaning and rustling.
Likes: stealing
tattoos
the ocean
heights
sex in public
cigarettes
Dislikes: being broke
religion
fire
trains
fake laughter
Backstory: Childhood for Sylvan was always a wild adventure, whether it was tagging along with his dad and swindling people using "newly used" auto parts to fix their vehicles or going along with his mom to her "dance classes" hanging out backstage with all of her usually nude or scantily clad coworkers - Little Syl always had something to get in to. That is, until his mom and dad just sort of left. Though Hank was hardly around anyway, Sylvan couldn't understand why. His dad's auto shop seemed to be out of business and packed away overnight, hardly a trace left of it when he tried to convince himself that his dad couldn't have left so quick. But he was wrong.
With only his sisters to rely on, Syl found it much harder to sneak off and stir up trouble but then again there was always something brewing at home anyway that he didn't really have to stray. He learned a lot from Pansie's boyfriend, eventually looking up to him and picking up so many tricks of the trade from him and the friends that always hung around. But again, over the course of the worst day of his young life - all that was taken away too. Syl and Lillith were able to hide away during the raid and with the help of one of Pansie's loyal customers, they were able to stay in their home. For awhile. He fell in with a group of peers who had more or less the same kind of upbringing he had, putting all the skills he'd learned in to practice.
On the eve on his 15th birthday, Lils had Sylvan tag along with her and a few friends - train hopping and busking for cash, doing reasonably well in their travels. This inspired Syl to convince his buddies at home to hit the road soon after returning, which was seen as a quick escape from all of their responsibilities. The five year period was a blur of the hard and fast life, of stolen goods and dire situations. Syl got back home, resolved to never go on such a romp again - no matter how exhilarating it had been. Resolved to not end up in jail for anyone else like a few of his friends had. He gets in to enough trouble on his own anyway and Lils continues to put up with it - a miracle considering all of the times she's threatened to kick him out so far.
