PERSONALITY ♥

Shawn is usually all about business. He doesn't look like someone you would care to mess with. He is still very marine, after being in the army for five years it just rubs off on you. Shawn does what is asked of him, and asks no questions. He is very business oriented, just caring about the money usually. Only a few people can break him out of his constant business charade. Usually it's kids, or people who mean a lot to him. Shawn's quite a nice guy outside of what he does for a living, but he is getting help for his post traumatic stress. He just retired from the marines about six months ago, and memories can still hit him pretty hard.

HISTORY ♥

Shawn Butler was born on the coast of California. He was raised very strictly by his father, and his mother died during childbirth so Shawn was never able to meet her. When he was young, he was told that promptly after from high school, he was to join the army. His father was also ex-marine, so he raised already knowing every detail in how to act and speak. Because of this, Shawn isn't a very big talker. Shawn's father's strict raising of him caused Shawn to have sort of an indifferent feel to his father. He didn't consider his father to actually be his father, but more of the guy in charge. Their relationship wasn't always the best, so right after high school, Shawn did what his father asked and joined the army. He doesn't like thinking about his experiences from war, as the bad memories trigger his pstd. He has been going to therapy once in a while so he can get over it, but sometimes it isn't enough. Shawn had panic attacks and mood swings, all the symptoms of post traumatic stress, right when he retired from the marines. He had thought about someday going back, but decided against it during the year after he retired.

After getting out of the marines, there was a year long depression for Shawn. He lost some good friends, right in front of him. His PSTD was the strongest then, Shawn would experience panic serious attacks and mood swings. Knowing he needed help, Shawn went to therapy and was able to accept what he witnessed while in the army. He no longer had the insomnia, because there were not more nightmares. He freaked out less when he was alone and heard crashes, everything was on it's way to recovery. Now that it isn't that much of a problem now, he feels much better and moved to New York to get on with his life. He can't remember much of the year after he got out of the marines. It is probably for the better. He moved to Port Charles to become a mercenary, he didn't really care what organization he ended up in, he just needed a job. Mercenary seemed easy enough, he has all the skills needed and really didn't care. There are some things that he just won't do, which mercenaries aren't suppose to have a preference. He'll take care of that when it happens though. Once arriving in Port Charles, he soon actually got a job as a bodyguard. Sonny Corinthos had hired him to be a guard for his daughter Adelina. It wasn't exactly what Shawn had in mind, but he accepted it. It was a job, and he was qualified to be a bodyguard. Shawn explained to Mr. Corinthos as to what job he was actually looking for, and sometimes he gets sent out on a mercenary as well.

Shawn actually prefers his job as a bodyguard more then he would have liked his profession as a mercenary. He actually gets to help people in a way that is more healthy. Shawn gets along well with kids, and while Sonny's daughter is a teenager, she is nice, well behaved kid and he gets along with her well. Shawn loves kids, as he would like some of his own someday so he could give his children what he never had while growing up, a father. He really adores children and that is usually the only time his true personality shows. Right now his focus isn't on family though, he is just worried about doing his job right and making sure that no one that doesn't deserve it, doesn't get hurt.

-If any of this isn't okay I'll change it.... I just needed something to put down.-

ROLE PLAY SAMPLE ♥

oh god role play samples always suck ass


I sat on a bench across from the high school Adelina was in. My arms were folded neatly across my chest as I waited for the bell to ring so I could safely escort her back home. I kept my eyes open for anything suspicious, but made sure I didn't look suspicious either. The school police on campus had been eying me since the beginning of school started. I was sure I didn't look like the safest guy around, but they hadn't approached me yet. Surely I had been doing this long enough for them to accept that I was picking a girl up from school, but they still looked at me like I was going to shoot the place up. I heard the bell ring, and I stood up, putting my hands at my side and I waited for Addy to walk out the doors. I had been her bodyguard for about half a year now, so while it was odd picking her up from school before, now I was quite used to it. This is where I always stood and waited for her, she I knew that she shouldn't have a problem finding me. I was pretty hard to miss regardless. I stood over many people in the crowds. I spotted her and glanced around the crowd, making sure I didn't miss anyone that could have been trying to find her as well. I had promised both her, and her father, that i'd keep her safe and I was going to keep that promise. Once she approached me, I smiled.

"How was school." I asked her, but I figured the answer would be the same as it has been for the past couple of months, with the usual change of something especially good or bad happening that particular day. I doubted it though, Adelina didn't like school. I began to walk once she was with me. She told me that it was the same, and I nodded. It was a shame that she was treated differently then she should be. "Would ice cream make it better?" I asked her, and she replied by asking me who would turn down ice cream, and I laughed. "Alright then, ice cream it is." I said with a smile as we walked down to the baskin robbins that was on the way back to her home. We walked inside the store, and I told her to pick what she wanted. I on the other hand didn't really feel like getting anything today. We always stopped here once in a while, and sometimes I'd get something, other times I wouldn't. Adelina chose what she wanted, and I bought it for her. Adelina was really a sweet girl, as far as I've seen anyway. It's a shame that she doesn't like school because of some of those kids. Well most, from what I've heard. High school should be some of the best years of your life. It was decent for me, but back then I was just ready to get out of high school so I could join the army and start my life away from my father. Well, she only had a few years left anyway. We left the store and continued to walk back to Greystone.

a c c e p t e d!

Haha I was a little confused as to why you were using the myoc app, but I get it now. Well, I don't know much of this guy, except whatever you and Chrissy have told me in awe of him, but the app seems like the little I know of him! Nah, the history's fine, they probably didn't give much on the show.

Sample is great, of course, oddly kind of reminds me of Grant. So yeah anyway, great sample, shush you.

Great app, of course. Get Brit to accept, read and sign the rules, and then start playing!
