Short Personality description;
Hailing from Scotland, Desmond isn’t one to mince his words. However, failing to mention certain ideologies of his has sometimes caused him more pain than he would like to dwell upon: such as his six year relationship with Ruth, ended with her saying he was too afraid to commit.
He suppresses this by keeping quiet about his feelings, or just drinking the nearest bottle of booze.
What he brings to the table, however, is the power to make people laugh in the face of danger, and to get it together with his military persona when times get tough.
Any Interesting History?;
Desmond has had a diverse range in careers. The first time we see him is as a monk – exiled from the monastery for coveting many bottles of wine after being punched by his ex-fiance’s brother. After meeting Penny at said monastery, she and him fall deeply in love and move in together. One day, Desmond’s consciousness is pierced by his future self, which he soon dismissed as some form of de ja vue.
After two years of a happy relationship, Desmond asks Penny’s father, Charles Widmore, if he may take her hand in marriage; to which Widmore says most certainly not. Feeling low self worth, Desmond decides to take his boat (a present) around the world in a competition to win Widmore’s approval, so that he might be happy with Penny once more.
Fate tore him away from his life as the boat crashed onto the Island, where he became resident button-pusher in a Dharma station. Freedom was rare and hope was sparse until Locke blew the hatch up and Desmond was reintroduced to society.
Now Desmond intersperses himself with the natives of the island, although he spends most of the time brooding alone.
Anything else we should know?; Nothing I can think of.
Four Sample Paragraph AS that character;;
A chill in the air grasped the blades of his back and sent a ripple through the fine hairs of his body. It quenched the sensation of numbness, mostly from the inside out. More than that, the breeze reminded Desmond he was still human. Still alive. He dared one lid to pry itself from the base of his eye; he could see the sun through the film of membrane that was his eyelid and now he could see the sunlight itself. It got old pretty fast, but never failed to capture his attention first thing in the morning. Desmond rolled over onto his side, propping his head up on a hand.
Taking the photograph from a knot in his tent which he’d reserved for the picture, he let it roll in his hand; Penny’s face staring back at him – both of them timelessly happy. “Good morning” he mouthed, and then put it back on the wall of his makeshift home. Emerging onto the beach, the calm atmosphere soothed him – nobody was rushing about, for there was no need to. Time was at a standstill, nothing was wrong – for what that stood for, it helped him a little.
Desmond smiled at a girl walking by, though her face was only memorable for more than a second because of the similar gold locks of hair Penny had. When the girl had walked past him, he continued to look at the back of her head and just....just imagined.
A sigh pried itself from his lips, never to be uttered again. But, like the eternal rhythm of the waves, that sigh would soon be reprised by another; tomorrow morning. The mornings were the hardest, the hardest because he woke up alone.
