[align=center][div style="width: 425px; text-align: justify; font-family: times new roman; font-size: 8pt; line-height: 1.5; letter-spacing: 0.8px; word-spacing: 0.6px; color: #333;"](  i.  )——VERNON JEREMIAH GREEN ; almost solely introduces himself as ❛ Green ❜ or ❛ Greenie ❜, often used interchangeably. Only a select few will call him by his first name, and he is better known by his surname as it was what he was called whilst homeless on the streets as an orphan. He identifies as a cisgender male, using he/him pronouns. He is twenty eight years old, born on the twenty first of April which makes him a Taurus. Formerly residing in Northstar District, Greenie was the Guardian of the group after he stood up to the Badlands who occupied the territory at the time. He has since relocated to The Black Sky Republic after a natural disaster destroyed the coastal town.

(  ii.  )——Green is an average height of five foot ten, he has quite a well-built frame. His weight has fluctuated a lot in his life; as a youngster, he was naturally slim but he gained a lot of weight after being spoiled by his foster parents. Once they passed away, living on the streets left Green malnourished with sunken in features and prominent bony landmarks. When he found his permanent home in Northstar, he had the chance to eat well enough to sit at a healthy weight. He has a generally upbeat and borderline restless stance — he must always be shifting his weight, using dramatic hand gestures or walking around whilst he expresses himself. Green often stands around with his hands on his hips, an open and friendly appearance of looking in control ; face claim & voice claim. Taron Egerton. He has muted grey/blue eyes and a triangular face shape with deep-set dimples. His hair is dirty blond hair which is often very simply combed over.

He has very many scars, mostly across his torso region. This is from when he was being abused by the now deceased Mateo Suarez, a malicious man who manipulated Green before blackmailing him into giving him authority to run Northstar District in a way which would protect Mateo from being hunted by Bluestem Prairie. Whilst he doesn’t have any tattoos, Green has his right ear pierced. He tends to keep a stud in his ear. Greenie very rarely wears long sleeved shirts, hoodies or sweaters, even when it’s cold. Instead, he likes t-shirts where he can layer it with very colorful, patterned overshirts. If he’s not wearing his jeans which are fraying at the seams, Green likes to wear shorts. He either wears a pair of sneakers or slides. Additionally, Green owns a baseball cap that he often wears — it was his foster father’s, so Green holds it very close to his heart. When doing patrols or leaving the safety of the city, Green has a protective, padded coat that he wears. It’s bulletproof so will protect him from an attack, which gives him great peace of mind.

(  iii.  )——ENFJ ; Green is a natural-born leader who tends to radiate authenticity, concern and altruism when guiding a group of people to work together in order to improve themselves and their community. He is naturally confident, unafraid to stand up and speak his mind when he feels like something must be said, even if sometimes this can place him in compromising positions. As a passionate altruist, often to an extreme degree, he appears courageous and firmly loyal when taking slings and arrows whilst standing up for the ideas and people he believes in - even when it is not his fight to win, he will try and take situations into his own hands in order to show his support. His leadership is selfless in the way he wishes for a brighter future, one where violence should rarely be an option.

The interest that Green has in people he cares about is genuine. He thrives off of emotional intimacy with another and in many cases his authenticity and kindness will inspire those they care about to improve themselves. But, on the flip side, Green can also overextend that optimism and kindness. Sometimes he pushes himself too far, attempts to spread himself too thin until he's left himself vulnerable. Even though he has lived a life that should have rightfully made him jaded, he is far too trusting of people, which will someday be the cause of his greatest downfall. Green is particularly vulnerable to taking on far more than he can chew. If he gets involved in another person's plight, he tends to take the issues to heart as if they were his own problems. He will always try to see fault in himself because he believes that if someone reacts badly to him, it’s because of a defect in himself rather than in the other person and he will try to bend over backwards to alter what he can change.

Academically, he is not smart - he never had the opportunity to attend school and was instead home-schooled; but, since the environment he was in was disorganized, it was difficult for him to learn. Instead, a lot of his intelligence comes in the form of interpersonal and bodily-kinesthetic smarts. He is very thoughtful as a person and, with his life experiences, he has grown to not naturally know the ways of the world but have the eagerness and determination to figure it out for himself. People tend to underestimate Green because of his background. He never sounded particularly intelligent when he spoke, unable to read or write very well, and he could come across as somewhat cocky and cheeky; his heart has always been a place where he'd welcome all sorts of people in, making him maybe too lenient, too warm, too vulnerable... It was easy for people to try and take advantage of him, especially when he never came across as much of a threat.

But, the one thing Green does possess is a stubbornness and tenacity to defy opposition. He is capable enough to do so and, in many ways, people tend to tell him that he has a lot of nerve to stand up to so many powerful figureheads. Especially since he does not believe in fighting physically for his rights, it is bold for him to believe that he can talk his way to freedom which, in many cases, he is actually successful in doing. His words are often persuasive, passionate and have sound reasoning. He is rebellious and will tackle opposing ideas which he believes will be detrimental to those he cares about. With his very boyish and innocently arrogant charm, he often can come across as quite naive and starry-eyed, or even irresponsible. He is so idealistic that sometimes he isn't really realistic about his own goals, yet he is too stubborn to listen if anybody was to tell him so.

Overall, Green is a charming and confident man with a benevolence that could kill him if placed in the wrong hands. He is hardy yet still sensitive, tough and resilient yet also open to share his own weakness. He sometimes pretends to be more self-assured and knowledgeable than he truly is, yet can also admit gaps in his wisdom. He can be evasive towards issues that he does not quite feel ready to acknowledge, yet also unswerving towards problems even if they throw him off guard. He is someone with a heart of gold and natural ability to lead, but also can sometimes seem like a boy trying to make it big in a man's world.

(  iv.  )——Vernon Green was born in Damariscotta, Maine where he was raised as an only child by his widowed mother, Cassandra Griffiths. David Green, Vernon’s biological father, was a banner tow pilot and died in an aviation accident only weeks before Vernon was born. She passed away from terminal cancer when he was eight years old. He moved to Castine, Maine to live with a foster family. He used to help his foster father repair the boats in the harbour and, as well as this, he began to learn archery in order to help channel behavioural problems into a hobby.

His comfortable living was fleeting, though. His foster parents, Carol and Steve Murray passed away within a month of each other when Vernon was eleven years old. Carol was an innocent victim of a shootout. Only a month later, Steve keeled over in front of Vernon. Even to this day, Vernon could not tell what had caused Steve to suddenly die; he could only guess that it was a cardiac arrest. After Green was orphaned again, he went to live on the streets. He met an older man named Gus Henderson who decided to look out for him the best he could as he was well respected within the homeless network. Gus was like a mentor to him, teaching him survival and combat skills which were relevant for the streets, and since Gus was a veteran in the military, Green knew to listen to him and take his advice.

Green does not identify with any particular sexuality as he dislikes labeling himself when he sees his sexuality as being completely fluid. Instead, he is gender-blind and is attracted towards people based on how they treat him. He has dated Fallon Rude, Winifred Maddison, and Amor Valdez. He was also in a serious relationship with Mickey Serge where they were raising an orphan named Arlo together. They took Arlo under their wings as he reminded Green of himself when he was a scared, lost orphan. But, Mickey eventually lost his battle with depression, leaving Green to discover him one evening. Since then, Green has struggled with the idea of intimacy with anyone else, but has since grown fond of Bellamy Harlow.
