His zany and highly unpredictable personality contributes to his ability to shift into different roles with ease. Prone to be highly animated, there is never a dull moments with this man about. He has a fondness for the spotlight in social events, but not obnoxiously so. He can mingle with nearly any style/personality of person. Most find him very refreshing on the set, and due to his charismatic self, approaching him is usually very nonchalant and easy. This ultimately makes his fan base rather wide and obsessive, finding that at times he tends to be too giving and too revealing about himself to his fans/strangers/co-stars. Kind Hearted - This is oddly enough a very overlooked trait in Hollywood. Styles, however, has managed to retain this quality about himself. He is genuinely kind. Having a strong affinity towards children and animals, finding their innocence relatable and endearing. This trait seems to come out rather strongly by the amount of charity work he involves himself in. He acquired it in his humble upbringing, and has kept it intact thus far. Charming - This is definitely one of his defining strengths. Styles had somehow managed to obtain that “IT” factor and most of it can be chalked up to the absurd amount of charm this boy exudes. It’s in the subtle nonchalant way he moves, and how he never holds himself in high regards. Fame hasn’t gone to his head, and with his years of experience it is unlikely to. There’s a down to earth quality about this man that is addictive and contagious. The way he can seamlessly work a room, and then shift into a one-on-one setting with friends or family is astonishing. Always having the right thing to say, or line to drop to lighten the mood. Intelligent - Witt is something Styles views as being very important. Despite his seemingly natural talent at acting, he is also rather brilliant. Having acquired the ability to speak multiple languages, he is also quite articulate and well educated. Throughout his career, in-between his films, he has taken multiple college courses to expand his knowledge. Though he has no said degrees in anything specific, he is quite the history buff and has become addicted to traveling. He’s always interested in learning a new trade be it something as whimsical as the art of glass blowing, to being a decent polo player, he has a drive for learning that is unlikely to ever fade. Awkward/Funny - Somehow he always manages to come across as being a awkwardly funny guy. Meaning most of what he does that is hilarious is usually unintentional. He has a mean bad luck streak, and is rather accident prone, causing for some rather ingeniously funny scenarios to unfold. This comes alive on the silver screen, and most end up falling for the loveable goofy traits. In person, it is much the same case. He has no qualms with tripping all over himself in order to make a moody friend crack a smile. He also isn’t embarrassed to admit he trips on flat ground every now and then, and can’t walk a straight line to save his life. This sort of human flaw only adds to his his fans being able to relate to him and his infamous charm. WEAKNESSES Addicted - By far, the largest weakness for Styles is his drug and alcohol addiction. It had been a very hush-hush issue for quite sometime back in his early twenties. He’d been known to nearly tank entire filming projects due to his addiction. Becoming entangled in them enough to warrant a court ordered rehab stint back in the mid-twenties. These days he has managed to keep relatively clean, though his life tends to be a bit lonely and whenever he becomes too absorbed in his depressing moments he can have his relapses. For the most part he has kept this under control, but all our demons live just beneath the surface. Lonely - Styles, despite his fame and fortune, has a nasty tendency to become lonely. Though he can be quite the social butterfly, he dreads the moments when he finds himself alone in a strange hotel with nothing but his own thoughts to keep him company. Perhaps this is why he has become such an animal person as of late, finding a four legged companion easier to keep around than an actual human one. This sense of loneliness and inability to relate to others can cause him to tail spin back into his old addictions. Though he is slowly getting better about reaching out for help during these times. Giving - Where most would see this as a strength, unfortunately for the good natured Mr. Sawyer it has to be categorized as a weakness. This especially applies towards his fans, he feels he owes such a debt of gratitude to them that he has placed himself in multiple dangerous situations just to attempt and please them. He gives far too much time and money in trying to return the favors of their adoration. Being mobbed by fans is a common issue with him, and his reluctance to leave or avoid unsecured areas in order to greet his fans is also a primary issue. He is a notoriously difficult case for any security group to take on, and trusts only a handful of security guards to follow him into such unstable conditions as a crowd of fans, and keep him safe. His fans have been known to be some of the craziest. Gullible - You would think what with living in Hollywood and all that Styles wouldn’t be prone to being gullible, but he still is. He genuinely wants to believe everyone is capable of being a truthful and trust worthy individual, but that is rarely the case in tinsel town. He has learned the hard way that there are people in this world whose main objective is to take advantage and abuse relationships with him. Anything from falling for a punch-line, to believing a friend when they say they’ve lost their rent money due to a sick relative, instead of blowing in on booze and drugs. He likes to help, and any excuse to do so works for him, no matter how far-fetched it may be. Loyal - Here is another one that seems like it should be a strength, but yet again Style’s manages to over do it and cause it to be a weakness. He is fiercely loyal, to a fault, well almost always to a fault. There are a handful of people involved in Style’s life that take full advantage of his position and fame. He is unable to shake them due to his condemning sense of loyalty. Depending on the person, this can be easily earned as well, and highly undeserved. Once he views you as an important person in his life, he will literally give everything he has to keep you happy. This has cost him a lot of time and money.

EXPERIENCE
Styles was born and raised in the desolate town of Springfield, Missouri. Where he has been quoted describing it as “Mark Twain and Jesse James country, with a lot of hills and a lot of lakes”. He lived on a family owned ranch, and spent much of his adolescences contributing to sustaining the family business of cattle farming. This attributes to his horsemanship and affinity for nature. He initially started out as a model at age 12, starring in local advertisements. However as he grew, his looks became more defined and quickly he was snatched up by a modeling agency from California called “MC Modeling” in a freak coincidence when one of the more prestigious agents caught sight of him at a family outing on the West Coast to visit relatives. From there his life was a whirlwind. Styles's onscreen career began in 1987, with uncredited parts in the films No Way Out, No Man's Land and Less Than Zero. His television debut came in May 1987 with a two-episode role on the NBC soap opera Another World. In November of the same year Styles had a guest appearance on the ABC sitcom Growing Pains. He appeared in four episodes of the CBS primetime series Dallas between December 1993 and February 1988 as Randy, the boyfriend of Charlie Wade (played by Shalane McCall). Styles described his character as "an idiot boyfriend who gets caught in the hay." Speaking of his scenes with McCall, Styles later said, "It was kind of wild, because I'd never even met her before." Later in 1999, Styles made a guest appearance on the Fox police drama 21 Jump Street. In-between he did various modeling jobs. Catching his first big break in Legens of the Fall (1994) and then FIGHT CLUB in 1999 which rocketed him to fame and fortune.

RP SAMPLE
(from a Ironman rp, hope this works :3)
The sound of delicate flutes, tinkering against one another in a celebratory fashion, had never been more obnoxious to one Tony Stark, then at that very moment. The wedding had been beautiful, lavished and filled with grandeur that Mr. Stark’s himself had insisted on footing the bill for. So here, in the very posh location of New York City in the infamous Salong de Ning. A stately flagship which was home to one of the sunniest and most well-appointed rooftops in the city. It was even more extravagant with the numerous white tents and, floating soft lantern lights, and the overwhelming amount of flower décor of lilies, the brides favorite. This was a remarkable occasion, when one dearest Pepper Potts was tying the knot, at long last. Though it was not to who the majority of Tony Stark’s followers would have guess. The man’s name was Hoss Gensen. He was a moderately wealthy business man from the mid-west, and had a very bigger than life demeanor about him. He enjoyed being center of attention, and took comfort in hearing his own voice. Sound familiar? Of…course…not.
So here stood the infamous Tony Stark, the renown Ironman. Reduced to plowing through an abandoned tray of delicately fluted glasses of champagne. Downing them like mints while waiting for progress at the DMV. It was killing time, among other things. His somewhat glossed auburn eyes stared intently at the elegant Pepper Potts, whom was making the necessary rounds with her newly acquired…Hoss…and thanking all the mingling guests. Her thin arm linked endearingly into her groom’s, her elegant gown shadowing after her with each step. She was unspeakably beautiful tonight, that much was undeniable. That all to familiar shade of golden blonde hair was piled up in soft ringlets atop her head, a few unruly curled strands trailing down her exposed shoulders. His expression flickered from a stupefied stare, into a look of momentary pain, and then back to a emotionless glower.
Hoss was boisterous, throwing his arms about as he spoke like some sort of sign language utilizing chimpanzee. It caused his gut to roll slightly when he witnessed the man stoop over Pepper and place a overly salivated kiss on her perfectly blushed cheek. This was honestly too much to bare, he was almost as red faced and drunk as Tony, well no that’s not true at all Tony was far beyond any reasonable state of inebriation, if such a state ever existed in the first place. Eventually he came to terms with the fact that standing upright on his own accord really wasn’t suited for his current condition, and he lurched to turn his back towards the scene. Stepping a few feet out until his elbows came to rest on the rooftops ledge. Staring down at the various flickering lights of New York City’s urban night life. He’d drug along the tray of half emptied champagne that was crowded with so many glasses you easily concluded that he must of started out with two trays at one point.
He tilted the glittering flute to the side, allowing some of it’s bubbling overpriced contents to pour out and trickle down to the abyss below. “For my dead…..homie…,” he stammered out, really he was referencing Pepper, and looked at her choice of husband as an actual death sentence. A life of nothing but dreary boredom and misery. She’d refused to wait for Tony, because honestly you could never get a guarantee that there was something to wait for. He wouldn’t come clean with a iconic I love you but would without hesitation throw himself in harm’s way to protect her. It was a conflicting and confusing relationship, if that’s what it even was, whatever it was, it was surely over now. He flinched slightly and twisted his expression into a look of dissaproval “What the hell kind of name is Hoss Gensen anyways? Hoss? Honestly, it isn’t difficult to guess he came from the mid-west,” he grumbled to no one but the vacant space of air before him. He half debated on retrieving his Ironman attire and crashing this shin-dig, but Jarvis would talk sense into him before he made good on the idea, and he didn’t think he had the spine to bring himself to ruin her moment. He was dressed to the nines, none the less, despite his disapproval in the occasion. A sleek Martini Tux, with trademark Stark Enterprises cuff links, and a skinny black tie that broadened the appearance of his chest and shoulders even more.
He’d given Pepper away today, it was an unbearable experience. Handing her off to some low life, cow fucking, imbecile from out west. He’d made a point not to recommend releasing Dove’s in fear Hoss would have his way with one of them, when he mentioned his fears to Pepper she would shyly scold him and change the subject. They never talked about him, only about this day, and what a social high light of the year it would be. By all means it was, the Mayor was present, various important heads of government branches had attended in connection with Tony and Stark Enterprises. Technology mogel’s and CEO’s all had flocked to wish her well, and give grief laden hand shakes to Tony as they passed him. As though they could have a inkling as to what he was feeling, or as though he would ever admit to feeling it. Hell of a party though.
