Appearance: When it comes to Darren's appearance, it's sort of bland though typical for a boy of teen years. He wears a generic t-shirt usually with a black tie, and black pants to match. He only wears this on certain occasions, deciding what to wear whenever and wherever he chooses. His attire is ever-changing and vast, so it isn't really usual to memorize Darren's attire because like your typical teen, he has tons of clothes. He has shown more a preference in jeans and t-shirts however, and has even been seen wearing a red leather jacket from time to time. With black hair and auburn eyes, Darren is a sight to behold. His face just shines with cute innocence, and his kindness doesn't help him. Steve even said once to him Darren has a 'face anyone would want to kiss, and that will get you raped one day'. Darren didn't know if this was true, but he shrugged it off with a toothy grin. Darren usually slicks his hair back, but if he doesn't do that it's a messy frizz all around his head area.
Personality: As expected from the young teen, Darren is a naive fellow. He believes everyone has some good in them, even people who continuously act sadistically and no good like his friend Steve. At first glance Darren is a friendly fellow, though at a closer glance he is somewhat of a klutz. He can be seen tripping and falling from time to time, though gets back up as nothing had happened. His resilience is surprising, though it's not really ever since he met Larten. He's very respectful of his elders, calling people 'Mr' and 'Mrs' as he does with Larten. Due to Steve being his childhood friend, Darren has developed a fear of the occult when it comes to zombies, vampires, and the like due to Steve's obsession. Darren likes spiders, yes, but not anything else that fits into that category. Otherwise, Darren is your typical teen who is easily prone to anger. He isn't the bravest of people, always having Steve to stick up for him, but he will fight if he knows the time is right. Most of the time he is a coward however, and doesn't know what to do or how to do it. He has always proved to be a genius, acing every exam he has ever had and usually does not do things against a set of rules unless willed by Steve.[/font]

&&--A glimpse of the past
[/size][/center]NOTE THESE ARE NOT THE ACTUAL CANON FAMILY MEMBERS, ONES I MADE UP TO FIT THE FORUM.
Father: Darius Shan, Forty Seven
Mother: Adrianna Shan, Forty Nine
Sibling/s: N/A
Other important relatives: N/A
Pets: Madame Octa , oddly colored tarantula, unknown age.
History: Darren was born to the Shan family, though you probably already knew that did you not? Life was normal, and in kindergarten was the day that he met the boy that may very well have captivated his heart. His name was Steve Leonard, and the two immediately hit it off. They became friends and have been friends for a long time, hell ever since everything that has happened recently the two were inseparable. Throughout life, Darren was the ideal kid. He got straight As, and always followed the straight line of the path of his life. His parents always reminded him that he had to stay with a certain line; 'school, college, job, family'. This started to get to him, and of course the pressure from his best friend to do a few bad things got his parents thinking of him as a bad influence. His fear for the occult grew due to Steve inviting him over his house to watch a few horror flicks about vampires, namely 'Dracula'. Darren never allowed Steve to know because he didn't want to hurt his best friend and wanted to stay friends with him. A freak show rolled into town one day when Steve and Darren were wandering the streets, and they came upon the show which turned out to just be a circus and it had a freak show section. One of the performers named Larten Crepsley was known for being able to control a spider through a flute, and Darren instantly thought that he wanted to own it. Steve ushered him to steal it, and completely pushed into it Darren would attempt to swipe the spider. However, Larten caught him as Steve escaped, and had informed Darren's parents. Because of this, Darren was forced to obtain a job helping Larten at the circus, thus he had to travel along with him. He met various people along these travels, and when they came back to his hometown, Steve and Darren met up again. Steve was angry with Darren however, stating that Darren wasn't even in to all of this stuff and that he had betrayed him by getting a job there. Darren didn't want Steve to think this, and their friendship was broken off due to it. However, during the day their friendship broke, Darren finally made light of the fact that he was beginning to have feelings for Steve. A sinister person, Steve sent Darren to La Campana after informing him of what had happened. This enraged Darren and almost made him want to cut off their friendship but his naivete caused him not to. This information however ended up bringing both Steve and Darren to La Campana. It was here that Darren met most of his associates, including new best friend Evra and one-time fling Rebecca.
Roleplaying Sample: Despite the cold and despite the dark, Darren's eyes stared around with a sort of lulled sense of security that could only have been acquired throughout his life. Stepping along the streets, why did Darren have such a peaceful life? Was it due to all those people he met and the connections he had made, therefore having them protect him? Whatever the case was, Darren continued his stroll down the street awaiting anybody who came into contact with the naive little boy.
