[spoiler= Personality]Sy's pure and baby-faced appearance makes him seem almost innocent... ha ha, no; don't let him fool you. Silas Overton is very much a wild card, his incredibly hostile, impetuous and extroverted personality often volatile and quite concerning to most. He tends to be known for his sarcastic, strong and snippy personality, sometimes his pompous presence a little too overwhelming for some. He's very assertive in his ways, often marching about oh-so arrogantly and demanding things to be done his way. He just tends to be more vicious than anything really, irrationally & bluntly showing people what he thinks of them whether he tells them straight out that he'd be happy to put "a bullet through their head" or whether he lets them know that they better stay clear of him, there is no doubt that you'll know what he thinks of you at the end of the day.
He has an almost false confidence, somehow pulling off the vain but not-too-disdainful, spiteful but not-too-irritating attitude, as well as having the appearance of something so virtuous. Being so outspoken and abrasive causes more people to steer away from getting too close to him, only a few able to really put up with his very unpredictable, manic ways. Many people just find him to be a cunning, grinning idiot whose venomous words are enough to make little kids cry, and even so he still manages to find people who actually like him for who he is; they may think this is only a very hard, stormy shell which, when cracked, will reveal an angel out of Sy. That is probably not true because he actually is an ass to just about everyone. However, if you dig deeper into the complicated boy's personality, you will find a boy with such a troubled self esteem, it's unbelievable. He is just incredibly defensive and so puts up a guard which means that just about nobody can really see him in a vulnerable state. He just doesn't do vulnerable.
Instead, you'll find the male very subtly clinging onto people he does get close to, noticing how he will gravitate towards them often to find support when he wants it. However, one can never really find out whether he is actually fond of somebody unless he says so himself (which is very rare to say the least) as he never really shows any appreciation and fondness towards people. However, those who do decide to give the boy a chance, they do manage to see passed his loud-mouthed, snarky ways and instead see a very intelligent and very caring male hidden behind his nightmarish facade. for the few who really manage to catch Silas' attention, they find themselves a very loyal & protective friend who will go to the very end to defend those he loves. He relies heavily on the few friends he's got mostly because, despite acting so independent and hostile, he craves any sort of affection and love. He is very closed off but does seem to silently appreciate those who do give him some sort of adoration and, despite his scornful attitude, he can also be a massive clown towards those he likes, his impulsive and daring ways allowing him to do playful things perhaps the average person knows is a really stupid thing to do.
He can be quite the awkward person to deal with as, when you do creep into his heart, he'll do whatever it takes to keep you there; even if it means blackmailing you or guilt-tripping you into being around him, he'll do it - sadly, he can't help but be this way due to his disorder. Relationships with him are intense, mostly because he himself is a very strong and pushy character, but alternatively you manage to see the very humble and sincere man he is who is determined to 'be there' for his closest friends. He has some wit and humor in his words when he's in a particularly good mood, too, and if you creep passed his bullish semblance, you will find a very faithful and, though he's very flawed, an incredibly genuine man in Sy. Some dislike him for his stinking attitude; others insist he's just a misunderstood little soul. as for Silas? Hah - Silas couldn't care any less.[/spoiler]
[spoiler= History]
TRIGGER WARNING
Silas Overton was born in London, England, however it was not long before his entire family relocated to America very suddenly. Though his parents would never say why they suddenly left, Silas expected that it was probably for a very important reason and just left it at that.
His story began at a very young age, unfair discrimination from 'fellow' school kids dampening his soul and causing him to feel like he was being hit in the face by a brick, over and over again. They would tell him that he was weird, that he scared other children by his hilariously dark and sinister jokes. And, that wasn't the only stigma which resulted in him being the misfit of the school; alas, his family's reputation was unholy. The Overton family, the family who nobody wanted to mess with. It wasn't long before Silas fell into a hole of self-pity and insecurity. Besides, he slowly began to truly believe that there was something wrong with him. He could never make any friends when he saw all the other kids had already formed little cliques, and he, instead of being the victim of a bully, was a victim of neglect. To all of his peers, he was invisible, he was a ghost to those who knew him. Nobody wanted to speak to a boy who was more intrigued with the idea of death than the idea of life. At this point of time, the boy was only six years old.
Years passed and still Silas was never fairly gotten the opportunity to redeem himself, even though he learned to conceal his dark and imaginative thoughts. He simply learned that he would forever be alone. However, in the beginning of eighth grade in middle school, Silas was introduced to a new student, a free-thinking girl named Norah. It really wasn't long before Silas liked his very first friend like a love sick puppy; whether it was genuine or simply him overwhelmed by the fact that somebody liked him for who he was, he didn't really ever know or find out.
Their friendship was intense, affectionate and loyal, and the two of them were like two peas in a pod. Silas was infatuated by Norah, absolutely obsessed with her and he couldn't spend a day without talking to her. The two mysterious partners in crime used to always go together around the small town they lived in, going on 'adventures' with each other. A relatively popular location for them to hang out was in the woods there they'd often bound over logs, kick up leaves, climb up trees and trudge through tiny streams of crystalline water. One day, Silas was perhaps a bit too competitive when the two of them challenged each other to a test to see who can climb the highest up a tree. And so up they went, in the middle of the woods. Up. Up. Up. The two of them scrambled through branches and leaves to get right to the top. Silas won.
As he got to the top, he peered down to where Norah was, struggling in the tree, until she lost her footing and fell, back down to the ground.
Silas stared in horror, screaming down for her like she'd vanished in a magic act. There was no answer. By the time he climbed back down the tree, he could see passed the leaves to reveal her body. And she was only a body. Lifeless and laid across in the leaves in the most horrifying position. In a blind panic, Silas dragged her through the woods, tears spilling down his cheeks where he left her body in a ditch, terrified that he would be blamed for her death. He didn't mean to hurt her. He loved her.
Ever since that day, Silas was a changed boy. The next day, he lied through police interrogations, informing them that "No. Norah went home one way and I went the other way and I haven't heard from her since." His loathing for the police grew more and more as the questionings continued. He was the last person to ever see her, after all. And, he had the real story sitting on the tip of his tongue, the officers' intimidating persuasion to have him tell them the full story resulting in Sy feeling unnaturally cynical and distrusting of cops.
That awful memory still haunts him.
By the time Silas reached high school, he was, yet again, not too popular with the other kids. He disliked his time at high school, trudging down the halls like he hated the entire world. And, he did. If the world never have had taken his baby girl Norah away from him, then maybe he'd be a little less bitter towards it. Not many people ever noticed him and this time he preferred it that way. However, he did actually manage to catch the interest of a couple of friends (and even a few boyfriends and girlfriends), of whom he all treated badly. He became the bully and yet also the bullied at school, his angry and bullish behavior both intimidating some people and then causing some people to try put him in his place, too, if you get the gist. It wasn't a surprise to people to hear that Sy had gotten into yet another fight. People either loved him or hated him, and it was mostly the latter. He remained abnormally cold and distant from any sorts of friendship or relationship, and he lost friends as quickly as he made them; nearly every single person who cut Sy out of their lives stated that he was either insane or a sociopath. Of course, neither of them were true. He was just kinda sad.
And so, one day his older brother, Colton, introduced him to his very own friends so that Silas was not all alone. These dodgy boys who Colton called his friends, however, didn't seem to be Colton's type. They began trading drugs and alcohol to Silas in return for his friendship, and Sy wouldn't ever say no because -hell yes- these people wanted to actually know him for who he was. Of course, they never made his bad reputation any better, but he didn't seem to care anymore. But, secretly, the boy was falling to pieces. His only way of escaping the real world was the world of, well, intoxication.
Being influenced by the older boys and, along with his pent up frustration, he began to intentionally commit crimes. First was a vicious fist fight with an older man. Silas ended up in the hospital for weeks recovering from two broken ribs, cuts and bruises. After leaving hospital, he was faced with charges and a man threatening to take things further and make sure he had a prison sentence for assaulting him. His second offence was the one time he set a tree alight in the front garden of his ex girlfriend's house whilst completely intoxicated and lonely, and as a result he was arrested for twenty four hours.
Perhaps three or four weeks after his offences, when he was sixteen, he was at home alone with Colton and his baby sister, Nova, when Colton overdosed on the implicit drugs he shared with Silas and he was sent straight to the hospital for his stomach to be pumped. Silas was left to lie through gritted teeth that, "No no, I don't do illegal drugs; only my big bro Colton does. You won't convict him of an illegal act, will you? Just rehab?... Okay."
Everything seemed to be going wrong in his life, and he felt like he was falling apart at the seams. He was just too hooked on the things which nearly killed his brother, he was thoroughly disliked by most people and seriously who would ever like somebody like Silas? And so, since he preferred this option than to waste away here on earth, he tried to end his life that night.
Silas felt like it was a dog-eat-dog world, with nobody in the world he could turn to. He felt so alone. The world let him down and so he chose to abandon it. He overdosed on the dangerous drugs he took and bled out in the bathtub, hoping that his family would only find him after it was too late.
But then, Silas woke up in hospital.[/spoiler]
