Overall Personality:Sawyer is great at putting on a masquerade, and being sarcastic. On the outside, he is nothing but a self caring person, however, he is actually making sure that no one really gets to know him. He wants them to dislike him, because he dislikes himself for what he's done. He became the man that killed his parents, and for that, he hates himself. Sawyer prefers that people dislike him, because he wants them to see him in the way he sees himself. However, Sawyer has softened a little. He puts on an act so that people can't see that, because he doesn't want anyone to feel sorry for him for anything.
On the inside, Sawyer actually yearns for someone to understand him, but he keeps everyone an arm's length away. He has even built a wall around his heart to make sure that no one can get to it, because he doesn't want to feel another heart break like Cass caused him. He makes up nicknames for everyone, and sometimes he can be down right rude. The reason behind that is the same for his attitude, he wants people to dislike him. Anger wise, he has a pretty short fuse. Sawyer is not one to hide his anger. If someone hits him, he'll hit them back, unless it's a woman. Sawyer can be a gentleman when it comes to women.
Background[/u]
Family Members:
Mr. Ford - Father (deceased)
Mary Ford - Mother (deceased)
Reason for Being in Sydney: Sawyer became conned by a man named Hibbs to do his dirty work. Hibbs claimed that he had word that the real 'Sawyer' was in Sydney, and Sawyer flew there to kill him. Unfortunately, it was the wrong man, a man that Hibbs wanted dead.
Reason for Flying to LA: Sawyer was just heading back home after unknowingly at first, finishing up Hibbs' dirty work.
Character History:
James Ford was born in Jasper, Alabama. Life was excellent until a con man who went by the name of Sawyer entered his mother's life. Sawyer conned his mother for everything that she and his father had, leaving them nothing. Young James heard everything, even his father killing his mother, before shooting himself.
Ever since, James' parents died, he swore to himself that he would get revenge on 'Sawyer'. However, his full intentions changed as he grew older.
Dropping out of school, because money was tight, James became the very man he hated. Around the age of nineteen, he conned his first victims in order to pay off a debt. From there, it was like an addiction. He morphed into the very person he hated, Sawyer. He even dropped his real name and started to call himself that.
During one con, a child, probably around the age of eight, stepped into the picture. He was about to finish the con, however one sight of the boy and Sawyer was painfully reminded of himself, so he quit the job, only to go for another con job which ended up to be a little different. A woman, Cassidy, was the person on his list. He had to have the big bucks, 600 grand to be exact. Sawyer even let her in on a few cons. However, he even let her into his heart. Cassidy was the first woman that he really fell for. His partner wanted the money and Sawyer didn't want to con her anymore, however his partner threatened their lives and Sawyer couldn't let her die, so he finished the job. Cassidy, on the other hand, didn't see it like that, so she called the police and Sawyer was arrested.
During the time in jail, Cassidy came by for a visit. She told Sawyer that she had given birth to a baby girl. The news, naturally, was a little shocking to him. However, he made a deal with the warden that he would help find the ten million dollars that an inmate had hidden, as long as he got a percentage of the money and he was a free man. The warden agreed. After coning in prison, he found the whereabouts of the money and told the warden. Sawyer also asked that his percentage of the money go into a bank account in his daughter's name.
Once he was released from prison, Sawyer started his coning again. This time, he ran into a man named Hibbs. Hibbs claimed that he knew the whereabouts of the real Sawyer. Naturally, Sawyer took this information and flew to Australia. This action ended up making Sawyer a murder, with the real Sawyer still on the loose. Hibbs had coned Sawyer into doing his dirty work.
One his way back to America, Sawyer took Flight 815. However, the plane never made it to America. It crashed somewhere out in the ocean, and the survivors ended up on an Island. While on the Island, Sawyer is attempting to have a new life.
The Rest[/u]
Roleplay Sample as your character:
Sawyer sat up slowly with the sun beaming down on him. His eyes adjusting to the sunlight, he noticed that he was still in his damned cage. Looking across from him, that cage was still empty. He gave his head a shake. Where was a book when he needed one? Or even a beer for that matter?
Looking around his cage, he noticed a big red button with a spoon and a fork on it. His stomach gave a growling noise that signaled he was hungry. Sawyer pushed the button, nothing happened. "damn it," he cursed under his breath. He looked around the cage again and started to mess around trying to get the button to work. Finally, Sawyer sees water and a fish biscuit come out. He walked over to the fish biscuit and looked at in before taking a bite to make sure that it was edible.
Sawyer glanced over to the cage across from him and noticed that Kate had been placed over there. "Well hello Freckles," he said with a smile on his face. He pressed the button again and waited for another fish biscuit to come out. He tossed it over to her. "Eat it." Looking back to the rain gutter, he took a handful of water and drank it. Those fish biscuits, or crackers, were pretty stale, but they were edible, so Sawyer didn't really complain.
Looking over at Kate, he found himself beginning to wonder if she was alright. He was about to say something when one of the Others came by, noticing he got the little thing to work. A smug look came over Sawyer's face. "The bears figured it out quicker," were the words that came from the Other's mouth. The smug look fell a little on Sawyer's face. "Well then mister, how many of them bears were in here," Sawyer replied. The man didn't reply to his question, he just kept on about his business.
