loves. the outdoors, beaches, rock music, dancing, cold colours, his ipod, his blackberry, his brothers baseball mit, his collection of glasses, reading, watching movies, partying, sitting still, being quiet, white wine.

quirks. he touches his left ear when talking about his brother, he blinks almost non stop when talking to a girl he likes, he has to have an odd amount of drinks on a night out (usually 3 or 5).
aspirations. to actually fall in love, to win an award for his directing, to have a son called david.
secrets. he blames himself for the death of his brother, he rarely is ever drunk - he pretends to be.
personality evaltuated. there are two sides to ian really. the one he shows, the one he is most of the time and then the one he hides inside and rarely lets anyone see. the personality he shows is an act, it is. to most people he is the joker guy. hes always cracking jokes, making jokes about people. he just makes people laugh. thats who, it would seem, he is. when hes at work and on the set he teases his colleagues. not nastily, he hates to see people upset, but he just jokes around with them. he has a nack for making people feel paranoid so he plays on that sort of skill he has. its easy for him. make an over nice comment and generally youll get the other person squirming. fun fun fun. hes nerdy and goofy, always messing around. he likes his thick rimmed glasses too. he doesnt actually need glasses but he likes that geek chic look. he isnt particularly clever or anything, in fact in that area hes quite average. but he likes to think wearing these glasses makes him look more clever. he loves old fashioned rock music and rock music dancing - seriously, the rock club is his favourite place to be.

but the side he doesnt show, the one that is his true self is way different. the funny guy cant be lonely, surely. but oh yes, he is. hes lonely and actually quite shy. the joking side of him used to be his true personality but when his twin died when they were seventeen he changed completely. he just went back into his shell and didnt speak to his family or friends for months. his brother had been his best friend since they were toddlers. but he died and ian changed. completely. he became this shy guy but put on the funny guy act when he decided he should look like he was over his brothers death. truth be told, he still isnt over it at twenty six. underneath he doesnt know how to talk to girls. he doesnt know how to act around siblings. whenever his brother is talked about he fidgets, in particular touching his left ear. he blinks a lot when talking to a pretty girl. hes just a bit of a freak, if you like. hes never been in love, he doesnt see himself being in love. he doesnt know how he could be, his brother never was. why should he? why should he be happy if his brother isnt there too?

history evaluated. four years olf and ian and david were best friends. twin brothers, they never fought. they never teased each other. they shared their toys and food and were happy just in eachothers company. they went to school like normal children in los angeles. they grew up loving the outdoors, their father took them for walks every week end. they loved being in the sun, the fresh air. it was heaven to them. they hated being cooper up inside school. they both loved movies too and, at the age of ten, decided they would form their own production company - the cross brothers. they had big ideas. they both decided they would go to college after high school. they would do degrees in film studies. unfortunately though, that would never happen.

it was a high school dance. the halloween one actually. everyone was dressed up in scray costumes. they had come as conjoined twins. the costume wasnt the best thing, they could hardly move and once inside it took them a very long time to get back out. they had three legs - both sharing the middle one, and two arms - just one each. they couldnt drive in the costume. it was impossible almost. after a few drinks though, on ians part - david dislike drinking too much, ian wanted to return home and they had to drive. they couldnt get out of the costume, obviously, so had to drive home still in it. ian was a bad driver anyway but drunk he shouldnt have been allowed on the road - he wasnt allowed on the road. anyway, they hit a curb and careered off the road. the car spun over and crushed the right hand side, the side david was sat. he was killed on the scene and that was it. ian no longer had a twin. he no longer had anyone to share his secrets with. and it was his fault. ian managed to scrape out of the costume before contacting any emergency services and made it look like he had been in the passanger seat. coward. he hated himself after that. and, he thought, for good reason. he had killed his brother.

he looked himself up for weeks. months perhaps, time didnt seem to pass after the accident. it did, he missed a lot of school. he managed to pass his final exams though and got into college, even if it wasnt a good one. he did his film studies degree and chose to become a director, like he and his brother had dreamed they would do one day. he moved to hollywood to try and get his big break and managed to get onto a block buster film as an intern. he had to get drinks for the director and cast but was promised a good referral for his cv. he finished his internship, got his referral and started looking to direct a film of his own. when he hardly got any work he decided he would try television shows also, so he became a film and television director. he figured television shows were more wide spread anyway. so, he flits between hollywood and los angeles looking for work, waiting for his big break. and to find love. but nothing ever happens good for the wicked.
