NAME:
Devon Eckes
NICKNAMES:
Devvie, Dev, X
AGE:
19
GENDER:
Male
FACE CLAIM::
Joseph Gordon-Levitt
APPEARANCE:
Soulful brown eyes, wavy dark hair currently cut short, almost six foot tall...ok, so I'm five ten...Engaging dimples...160 lbs of lean muscle...I am 19, but I have ID that says I'm 24, and I must pass for that because no one looks twice.
EMPLOYMENT:
Student/Musician
GROUPS:
SAA
HOUSING:
14421 167th Ave, Apartment 3A
LIKES:
Art, Film, Literature, History, Music, Women, People, Sex, On Line Gaming
DISLIKES:
Myself, more than half the time. Men who don't treat women well, bad music, cooked veggies except stuff like potatoes, rodents, people who yell for no reason.
GOALS:
Become a better man, marry Amy, get famous for something I do well.
FEARS:
To be unable to rise above my baser self, to lose Amy, to fail at breaking out of the mold my parents cast me in...Oh...and mice.
PERSONALITY:
I used to be the popular kid. You know the kind, the ones who collect these hangers on, people who want to do things for you so they can be seen with you. I treated it like a job, to be popular.
And I was the perfect 'trot out for public' kid. Always the perfect show dog for my parents who forgot about me and my sisters the rest of the time.
Behind the scenes though, my father was some kind of sex manic and my mother was cold as ice, and I somehow blended the two things together to make myself into this almost toy for women. Trying to please them but really using and being used by them. Then I met Amy, and she started me on the path of realizing that it wasn't as normal as I thought.
At Hadley, I continued to work on this and I'm a lot better now than I was, but I also realize I have a long way to go. I'm still pretty much a pacifist, and I still don't' say no as often as I should, but I'm in SA now and go to the meetings weekly. And I don't hurt myself anymore, though I still seem to find myself in the position to get hurt by someone else more often than I should.
My core self: Friendly, outgoing, wanting to please others, really hasn't changed that much. But, how I go about it is much healthier now, I think, and will continue to get healthier I hope.
WHAT FIVE ADJECTIVES FIT YOUR CHARACTER?
Agreeable, ambiguous, charming, gullible, pleasant.
NATIONALITY:
Jewish-Irish
FAMILY:
Parents: Evie and Stan Eckes, Lawyers
I have an older sister Eve (Married, Accountant) 24, who coddled me, and a younger sister Anya (Student, Dancer) 14, who I coddle. Leaving me the heir apparent, even though I am the middle child.
RELATIONSHIP STATUS:
Committed to girlfriend Amy Wilson who currently is in jail for another year for solicitation of a minor via Internet. Although Devon sleeps with other people and has 'dates' he never hides his relationship with Amy, or alludes to ever leaving her for anyone else.
I HAVE READ AND UNDERSTOOD THE STYLE OF WRITING EXPECTED AT THIS SITE::
Yes
OTHER NOTES:
Born and raised in Eugene, OR my parents are hugely dysfunctional and highly successful lawyers. I was raised mostly by staff, which gives me a common person outlook although my family is upper 10% income for our state.
I had a sort of on line affair with one of the teachers at my school and when we got caught out I had a bit of a break down and had some self damaging moments. I saw a therapist who said I was suffering from: Narcissistic borderline personality disorder with hyper sexual tendencies and addictive behavior patterns. . I was on anti-depressants for a while, but didn't really feel any effects, and stopped taking them.
When Amy was sentenced I went on a self destructive spree which included me picking a fight with a known drug dealer which left me in the hospital with multiple injuries. When I recovered I applied to go to the Hadley Institute for Troubled Youth in a further effort to punish myself for Amy's arrest. There I met several good folks, including my roommate Rave.
Now I'm on my own for the first time, away from my family, and really can make a new start of things.
