the appearance

Face Claim || Jensen Ackles

Identifying Features || Scar on Left shoulder
Overall || Nixon is pretty rough around the edges, with his scruffy facial hair. Not exactly the type of guy you would expect to be teaching college students let alone Anthropology, but hey don't judge a book by its cover. Brown hair and Brown eyes, nothing that really stands out much. Though he knows he is a good looking guy. His clothes are pretty simple as he is a big lover of plaid and more of a laid back look compared to his colleagues. Nixon is pretty expressive with his face just one look and he can make you feel like the dumbest person in the world without saying a word to you. He has a nasty looking scar on his left shoulder from a accident while playing with knives with his little brother when they were younger and stupid.

the personality

Dislikes || Losing, being alone, being lied to, change,  Dancing (but only because he sucks at it and he hates to be embarrassed), asking for help
Strengths || Brave, Determined, Loyal
Weaknesses || Big Ego, Sarcastic, Over thinker
Dreams || Right now his dream is pretty simple and that's to be the best dad he can be to his daughter.
Fears || His biggest fear is that he is a failure when it comes to raising his child, he messes up a lot and is a bit of a mess himself.. luckily even if he doesn't see it he is a pretty good dad.
Overall || Nixon is a pretty likable person and teacher, at least most of his students like him once they get past the way he looks. Not exactly the kind of guy you would imagine teaching about Anthropology, he looked more like a PE teacher or something. Once they learn that he is actually quite intelligent and enthusiastic about his work they tend to start respecting him. Nixon likes people and tends to go where large crowds hang out, such as bars. Nixon had a huge love for alcohol and woman, it was almost a addiction. Having no problem messing around with his older students on occasion. Despite some of his reckless behavior he is also quite responsible when it comes to his child. Being a single dad isn't easy but he really does try his best. He is there every night when she goes to bed, every morning when she awakes, at every pre school function exc. So far he hasn't brought any girls home either and he wouldn't until he could see a relationship in the future. He isn't about bringing strange woman around his child if they won't be a part of their lives, that just isn't fair.

History || Nixon is the oldest of three children, he has a younger brother and sister that he is very close with. He was always a smart student, but also a reckless teenager and trouble maker. None of that changed much when he got older. As much of a trouble maker that he was, he was also very smart and managed to get his school work done and get good grades. He was often accused of cheating because the teachers never so anything more than a trouble maker in their classes. Except for maybe his History teacher who saw that the boy had more potential then he let on, it was that teacher who eventually got him interested in Anthropology. Pushing the boy to send out some college applications and pursue those interests. Nixon never thought he was the type to attend college but with some pushing he decided to give it a try. To say the least, he loved it! College parties were crazy and he even enjoyed the classes. His first year in college his dorm mate eventually turned out to be his best friend, the two were crazy and reckless together. After graduating he Interned as a research assistant for a few years, then continued on as a researcher for a few more years after that.

At this point in his life he had grown a little more mature and responsible but deep down he was still the same trouble maker. It was when he met a girl named lauren that things really changed for him. She really was no good for him and eventually because of her influence he lost his job. Drowning in his own sob story he didn't feel like getting his life in check and ditching lauren. Instead he stayed with her and got a job working as a bartender. It was out of the blue when Lauren left him, he was devastated even though he knew that his love for her had dwindled down a while ago.

It was 10 months later that child services showed up at his door with a sleeping baby in hand. It had turned out that when Lauren left that she had been pregnant with Nixon's baby. Lauren had recently died do to a overdose leaving the baby with no one. It took Nixon a bit to accept all this but eventually he decided that he needed to step up. Nixon was not one who ever thought of having kids, he was scared of the responsibility. He had been living with his college friend, since well college. Besides random one night stands and occasional long term relationship neither guys wanted to take it any further with real commitment. So they had been living in a house that had been the ultimate bachelor pad. Now there was suddenly a baby girl in the mix, The two men attempted to put their brains together to raise the baby. As you could imagine this sent the wrong impression of their relationship to people. After being insulted they usually got a kick out of it though.

Good bye spare room that had been used as a in home gym and hello pink walls and stuffed animals. Knowing that he had to get his shit together he applied for a teaching position at a college, not really expecting to get it. With some luck though he was hired, and has now been working their for 3 years.
