DETAILED APPEARANCE:
people say that there are a lot of things that distinguishes people from others for Eric there may not been a lot. His first features that one sees would have to be his smile that shows his dimples and his white teeth. Cliché I know but its true. But really he doesn’t really have any distinguishing features. He doesn’t have any tattoos or anything however he does have a scar on his back from when he fell off the roof of his family’s house while helping with the reroofing. The scar is more than one but it is shaped like an L. He does have really long arms, he makes fun of them by calling them his “ape arms”.
Eric is a guy that some people don’t quite pick out of the crowd that easily. His looks are not godlike at all at least he does not believe that. To him, he is just another guy just another Joe Blow. Many women have fallen for him with just his looks. His hair a golden blond and his warm yet dark brown eyes pull you into his aura. Many people have said that the things that make him so appealing are his manly features like his chin and jaw and his bone structure in his face. There isn’t really a girly look to his face like some of the actors have today. Most of the time he is sporting stubble on his chin and jaw and above his upper lip which always gives him this more dangerous look.

[/size]- - - PERSONALITY
There are a lot of things that he likes in life. He usually has a thing for brunettes and normally girls that are 5’6 and shorter. But the thing that always gets him is a girl’s eyes and the way she can smile. He likes girls that are not too crazy and too into the party scene. He does like girls that are younger than him but also legal. He is always looking for a committed relationship rather than a one night stand but he does have his flings and friends with benefits and so on. Well duh acting or why would he even choose this crazy lifestyle. He loves to slip into new people and see things from a different person’s point of view. Eric doesn’t always get the leads which is fine with him because all he cares about is the simple fact that he is happy with his job and getting the chance to bring a story to life. Eric loves to write scripts. After a good book, he writes up a script and then hides it away in his room. He always thought that his writing was never good enough to actually happen after all who would believe an actor who was considered a pretty boy. his parents whom he loves and still talks to, always made sure that he had enough things to read. His loves to read a good book when he has nothing better to do. He reads a lot of classics but also loves a good mystery and scifi book. He has a kindle that is always loaded. Keeping in shape is a big deal for Eric’s career. Eric first started to work out just to keep on top of his game when he played on football, basketball, and baseball in high school. In college, it was to impress the ladies and to also keep his game up. However now though he works out to pump all the stress and anger out of his system and to keep his career going. Eric like any typical guy is a fan of sports. He watches and keeps up with many sports. He watches football and his favorite team is the Washington Redskins. He is a fan of baseball and the team he is for is the Baltimore Orioles. He watches basketball and is a fan of the L.A. Lakers. He does watch Nascar too after all who can not not watch fast cars, his race car driver for that is Kyle Bush. When a game is on or a race, he is either having a party at his place or at a sports bar watching the games there. Eric is a social person just like everyone else. He loves to woo the ladies when he gets the chance and he also knows when to just have fun. He hangs out at clubs and parties quite a bit but he does not do drugs. He likes to be around people it makes him feel like a normal person instead of a celebrity. Growing up in Maryland, even though he lived in Baltimore, he always enjoyed nature. He liked the country and especially his parents summer house in the southern area of Maryland. Eric goes over to the oceans a lot and does hikes and such. He is really in love with the nature and the joys and mysterious wonders of the world. Eric’s family grew up with music. His mom and dad made sure that each of the kids were taught an instrument. Eric was taught how to play the guitar and he still plays to this day. He has written a few songs but hasn’t told anyone about it. But generally he just really enjoys listening to music. He always has his ipod near him.
Eric hates the people that are always out there looking for trouble. You know the ones that do things that they know they shouldn’t but they do it anyways because they know it will give them attention. He thinks that it is degrading and just annoying since it seemed childish to him. After all why would people want to be thrown in the spotlight especially the spotlight that will damage their image to the public. The Easy Beasyes that annoy eric are the girls that are easy. Easy in all ways. He doesn’t like a girl to hit on him first. To him he finds it a little awkward since he grew up thinking that the guy should do all the advancing and the fact that he likes and enjoys the chase. He even likes it better when it’s a chase to something that he knows he may never have. He has always been cautious about those crazy fans that seem to follow you everywhere. He really hasn’t had that experience yet but a few of his friends have and he wishes that his life never becomes like that. To him this is a career choice and people should understand that instead of acting like a bunch of crazies and think they should have a piece of him or something. These are the people who lie, cheat, and do all sorts of wicked evil things to others. Eric doesn’t like these people and yet he finds himself surrounded by them all the time. To Eric they are nothing good and honestly he doesn’t see how they can live with themselves and think that their life is just fine. He does not like it when people play him or use him. Every time that happens it seems like it was just not real. He always feels angry afterword and that is never good. He hates getting played to advance people’s careers and hates it when girls just play him to get in his bed or phone book or wallet. Like everyone else, Eric has a problem with being alone. That is why he has a dog so that way he had someone to talk to when he needed it. But now he is hardly alone since he also has joint custody of his daughter, Annabelle, who is his daughter to his ex-wife. He is alright if he is alone with people around him or if he goes off into nature alone because he is busy with everything around him. Cliché but its true. Normally directors get him to feel that he is nothing but an idiot when Eric doesn’t play the roles the right way that they see them. Eric will generally do what he thinks is best and what is true to the character. But sometimes directors can get fussy when something doesn’t go the way they had envisioned in their head.
Just like any other person, Eric has his quirks too. First thing he does when he wakes up is turn on his radio or stereo or ipod. He has to have music the first thing or he can be in a grumpy mood. He has been this way for a long time and he is not sure why but it is just a habit that he adopted in high school. Before he goes to work, he does 50 push ups and 50 sit ups. His acting coach told him to do this when he first started out and so it just sort of has become a thing now. After every meal, he brushes his teeth and flosses. He likes to keep his pearly whites just that white. He also has a thing where he constantly fears that he has bad breath. He wears a forced smile when he is too nervous about things which are generally any event that he has to attend that he has to be a public figure. Even though he maybe nervous, he can act relaxed and at ease. He can even make everyone else around him feel relaxed. Some have said that when he walks and talks to a group that he can make it seem like they have been friends for ages when they just met that night. He has gum on him at all times. When he is really stressed you will always see him chewing on gum. He used to smoke but he quit and now he just chews gum instead.
Eric's aspirations are not a whole lot really just the typical usual things. He always wanted to be an actor and to not be judged by his career. Being an actor, many other have changed and Eric would like to stay true to his own character rather than change himself to fit into the film industry. To become a good father like his father was to him. He also hopes to have more kids later on in life when he meets a good girl. To help out with those that needs it. He does a lot of charities and tries to help out when bad events happen to those in the world. He also wants to make sure that he will always be there for his family and friends.
Just like anyone else, Eric has skeletons in the closet and would like that they stay there. He owns a night club in Baltimore called “Doing No Wrong”. He has a few other businesses throughout Baltimore. He doesn’t want people to know about this because of the simple fact that he doesn’t want his private life apart from acting thrown in the tabloids. He has a degree in business management and a degree in film. He has attended many anger management sessions when he was married to his ex wife. He has been married once to a girl that he meets in college. They never dated but once they found out she was pregnant they decided it would be better to have a wedding so things would run smoother so they thought. Their divorce was finalized a year ago. He is currently developing a production company that will be based in the east to help spread out the film industry and possibly create some new competition. He is an actual alcoholic. He has spent many nights drinking too much and coming home drunk out of his mind. He can hold his liquor well which is why when he leaves clubs he looks fine so that way the tabloids don’t get a hold of him. Romance novels, you may think I am joking but I am not. He has a few romance novels that he loves to deal. This does not make him gay but quite contrary. He thinks that it is a great insight into what a girl would love to have. So he sees it as a guidelines and even he just gets swept up in the love story that unfolds in front of his eyes on the pages. Lost his virginity when he was 18. He does not know the girls name but he remembers her Lily tattoo on the side of her body near her chest and hip. He will never forget that tattoo even though he has no idea who that person was. On Prom night, one of his friends had over dosed and he didn’t do anything to stop it. He sometimes wishes that he could have waited longer before he had his daughter and got married so that way maybe life would be different.He has full custody of his daughter since his ex-wife failed to show the courts that she was capable of supporting a child on her own.
HONESTY
Eric is a man that is brutally honest. So make sure that you are ready to hear his thoughts, if you ask him about anything about what he thinks. He will be bluntly honest with you and you may find yourself thinking that what he said was cruel and cold hearted. To him there is no point in lying when he sees that there are things that can be improved on. That would be like giving a kid that didn’t turn his homework in an A. It just doesn’t work out right nor does people really learn and understand how to improve themselves. However if he ever does say something that is meant towards a complement you may want to take that to heart because it really did come from his heart or he would have never said it to you.
JEALOUS
Just like any other male in the world, Eric tends to get jealous especially when it involves a girl that he is passionate about or likes a lot. You may just be a friend with benefits or a girlfriend but know that you should never make him jealous especially with another guy. Dangling a guy in front of him would do nothing but tick him off. When he is ticked off over jealousy you can almost guarantee that the guy will have to go to the hospital or will have some massive bruises on his body from Eric. He normally does not get jealous over roles and his career but mostly just when it comes to girls and personal life. So if you want to make him jealous you may want to take carefully venture into these waters and to always remember that there will be consequences to making him jealous and generally they do not end very well for anyone not even for Eric or the girl.
MYSTERIOUS
His life seems to always be a mystery. He hardly ever lets people into his life. He is always careful and very selective to who he is friends with truly. He keeps a façade up that he wants everyone to think is the real him but in reality it is nothing like that at all. There will be many secrets about his past since he is not one to live in the past or well more likely share his past with others. He does not like to disclose this not only because of his job but because he feels like only the ones he truly trusts should get that privilege. He likes to solve other mysterious people and because of this you may have to play detective work with him until he opens up about himself if that ever happens. But generally once or if he feels like you are the one then you will know everything that you want to know about him and probably even more than what you bargained for.
NEED TO ALWAYS WIN
Yes, you read that right. Eric feels like he has to win in every aspect. If he does not then he feels like he has failed himself and everyone around him. He may see everything in a game but that is alright because he is no bad sportsman. He feels like that he has to win in everything. He loves a chase in a girl and if there is no chase than there is no game. He enjoys winning people over to his side with his charm and wit. If you ever hurt him or beat him at something expect there to be some destructive acts coming. He is a man that does not like to lose at any aspect or part in life and once he has admitted that he fails than he will forever be changed because that failure will always repeat in his mind.
PASSION
Everyone thinks that only females can be passionate. That is not always true and that is very true when it comes to Eric Dawson. He has this way of keeping his passion concealed beneath a calm and relaxed façade. His passion is not only to acting but he is passionate about everything around him. He is even passionate in sex and in love and even in what he does for a living. Some people are drawn to his passion when they are finally invited to see under his cocoon while others are terrified of it because he will do whatever it takes to defend what he is passionate about. If you do something or say something wrong about what he is passionate about you may want to start running because he will attack in both words and in the physical way and even if he is really upset enough he will do thinks to sabotage the person who made the remarks. Some people may think that he is fake or that he is a bit cheesy when it comes to relationships and the person he is in love with. He is very passionate in love and anything that has to deal with romance. This may have to do with the fact that he even secretly reads romance novels from time to time again.
POSSESSIVE
Eric is a guy that once he claims you as a true friend or if you are more than a friend you should know that he will be very possessive over you. He will keep an eye on you so that way you will never be hurt since he will be careful that no one does that unless it is him. If you are a lover or a one night stand be sure to ask him or talk to him about just what he thinks of you because he may become possessive over you even if you are nothing but a one night stand. This goes back up to the jealousy thing if a guy is hanging all over you and Eric feels possessive over you than you may want to watch out for what Eric does because that guy that is hanging on you may end up severely hurt before the night is over with.
WHEN IN LOVE
Love is something that may not happen a lot with Eric or it may happen to many times. No one really truly knows because that is the type of things that Eric keeps buried. However don’t get thinking that life is going to be the end if you happen to fall for this combo caveman and prince. Once he makes an opinion about you, it will be hard to get him to think otherwise unless you yourself do something to prove that his opinion is wrong. But if he ever feels like you could be the one or to him you are the one you will find yourself drowning in his passion. The one thing though that he does not like is public display of affection in other words PDA. He will be very upset if you try to push him into that or if other people urge him to show off with some PDA. If you ever find out that you are about ready to throw in the towel or kill the poor man, he will do something to make you fall in love with him all over again. It may be something sweet and innocent like a whisper of all the reasons why he loves you or something that is sweet in your ear. But then again he may go all out and do a be ravishing thing like roses and candles all throw out your place or his depending on living conditions. When the time comes that he has wrapped his mind and heart around you that you are the one for him expect to be charmed so much that you will feel like you never have before. His entire focus will be on you both emotionally and even gaze wise. If you have the courage and patience, his touch will be as cool as ice and his passion as hot as molten lava. He will take you along with him and you will see the world like never before. If you manage to understand him, he will become the most kind, considerate, loving and selfless man in this world.

HISTORY:
High school was all pretty much the same for Eric. He played sports so he was considered a jock and he dated a few girls in high school. In other words he was your typical high school kid. He got good grades, he did his homework, he attended all of the school events. On his senior prom night though something awful happened, a group of his friends and himself had went to a hotel room that they all paid for with their own money and one of the kids had convinced some of their adult friends to drop off some beer and liquor. They partied and had fun but somehow drugs had been brought into the hotel room. Eric had no idea how that happened but one of his friends had over dosed that night and he regrets that night his whole life because he knew he could have done something to stop that from happening. Some of his friends had some jail time but he just had community service.
After high school graduation his friends and he had split paths and all sworn to never bring up that night of Prom to anyone. Eric went to school at Northwestern where he had done a lot of partying. The first month while in college, he had lost his virginity to some girl whom he has any idea who it was but he remembers her piercings and the one tattoo that traveled up her side with Lilies. So Eric always just called her Lily. A month later he meets Victoria Roberts at another dorm party. This time he did not drink as much but he had unprotected sex with the girl. She wound up pregnant this time around. At first Eric was pushing to have Victoria have an abortion but she decided to keep the child and since he felt bad about everything, he asked her to marry him. She said yes for more than one reason. They moved off of campus and began their hard life together. About five months into the pregnancy, Victoria had miscarried. The two still decided to get married as they planned since they thought they were actually both in love. While in College, Eric had played in numerous theater pieces for the college. This was when he really fell in love with acting.
Shortly after he turned 25, after he had graduated from college, he had gotten a job in Chicago writing scripts for plays. He and Victoria had been trying to get pregnant and they finally managed to do it this time around. On the night of one of Eric’s plays, the main actor had fallen ill and could not perform that night. Eric filled the spot in and he did such a great job. This is the night that he had gotten his manager and the manager kept telling him that he had talent and that he should use it in Hollywood. Well, Victoria thought it would be great to live in Hollywood but she had a job in New York waiting for her. After a lot of discussing the couple decided New York would be better for them. Eric turned down his acting dream once Victoria had been put on bed rest shortly after their arrival to New York. Eric worked two jobs and then did small side jobs to make money. Soon he opened up his own club and thought everything was going great until he found Victoria in bed with another person this time it was a girl and not a guy. That was a hard blow to Eric’s ego. He came to terms that the marriage was no longer working out and that he wanted a divorce.
After the divorce, Eric moved to Los Angeles with his baby girl. He still owned the club but now it was in joint partnership with the bartender back there. He went out and found the same manager that he had before and decided that now he wanted to give Hollywood a chance and he hoped that Hollywood would do the same. Within six months he had landed a spot in a small web series that did not do good but he has just been doing odd end parts right now. He is hoping to make it out there one day even though the manager is feeling that Eric may be too old to be given a chance. Eric won’t believe that so to him its him and his daughter against the rich and famous.

[/size]- - - OUT OF CHARACTER
ALIAS: Jess
EXPERIENCE: sevenish years
OTHER CHARACTERS ON AWA: ummm yeah lol
ROLE PLAY SAMPLE:Last night was crazy in Eric’s life. Annabelle had caught a cold from the colder and different New York weather. He was alright since he used to live here before and he didn’t have a problem adapting pretty quick. Most of the night though he was up with Belles and reading to her and comforting her. Times like these were the times that he wished that Belle’s mother was still around but he knew that it was better that she wasn’t. He was honestly glad that he got some sleep even if it was only three hours because he knew that today he would have to put in twice as much work since he had to cut out early yesterday which meant that the director was probably pissed at him. This morning he was glad he didn’t have any dark circles under his eyes just a quick stop for some coffee would do the trick.
Walking onto the set this morning seemed easy. Eric had a cup of starbucks in one hand and his cell phone on the other. His leather jacket covered his arms and shoulders as he talked on the phone with his nanny for his daughter. A few people seemed to linger on the set more than usual, he thought as he hung up the phone. Eric hid his eyes behind a pair of dark sunglasses as he sighed slid his cell in his jeans pocket. Ever since that magazine was released there had been more people on the set and more fans and more screaming girls. Taking a deep breath, he walked over to the crowd and smiled his dazzling smile and began signing autographs and took a few pictures with people. His manager and agent said it would be good for everyone if he did this at least 30 minutes a day. So here is he was with a bunch of people screaming and gasping.
After 20 minutes of doing that security came over and ushered people away. He walked back toward the trailers and hopped into the dressing and make up on. He needed to get ready since he didn’t want the director on his case today. Once he had on the black slacks, he grabbed the white button up shirt and looked at the notes that the costume director wanted and it was the shirt needed to be button only part way up. Glancing back at the script he sighed as he realized this was going to be a stressful day. A day that was mostly about him and his body and him getting shirtless. Chick flicks, he thought as he rolled his eyes and shook his head. He finished getting dressed and then walked over to make up which they didn’t do much really just some touch up and made sure he had a clean cut face today which he did.
Finally after a long time, he was walking onto the set where they were in Daniel Young’s Apartment/loft. Looking around the set, Eric knew that he was ahead of the others. The girls always took longer but that was because they had to spend more time and had more things to do. He unfolded his script and walked over to where a few clean chairs were and began to read the script more like going over and making mental notes. After a moment, he got up and walked onto to the set and stood where he was going to which was in the kitchen area getting himself a glass of whiskey. Shit, he hoped they substitute or he was going to have a buzz going by later on today. Looking around the set, he began to hear noises but didn’t see anyone but the set crew. Shaking his head a moment, he went back to reading and going over the scene today.
