* FanFic/WithinAndWithout

* ThatOnePlayer: When it comes to [[FightingGame fighting]] and [[ActionAdventure action games.]] Oddly, he routinely fails miserably at [[RolePlayingGame RPGs]] and expresses disdain [[TheGrandListOfConsoleRolePlayingGameCliches all the cliches]] that come with them.

* QuirkyCurls: About two feet of them. Some people are surprised to learn he's a highly academic BookWorm as opposed to a rock guitarist.

* TheWorldIsJustAwesome: A staunch believer in this, despite being an introverted loner and [[TheCynic cynical]] {{bookworm}}. When given the rare opportunity, he usually travels around the world. Places visited have included [[{{UsefulNotes/Mexico}} Chichen]] [[{{UsefulNotes/Pre-ColumbianCivilizations}} Itza]], [[{{UsefulNotes/Malaysia}} Kuala Lumpur]], [[{{UsefulNotes/Singapore}} Singapore]], [[{{UsefulNotes/France}} Paris]], [[{{UsefulNotes/Morocco}} Tangier]], [[MonkeysLionsAndAnnoyedSpaniards Gibraltar]], [[{{UsefulNotes/Spain}} Málaga and Seville]], [[{{UsefulNotes/Thailand}} Thailand]], and [[{{UsefulNotes/Canada}} Vancouver and Victoria]]. That's not counting his trips to WashingtonDC, NewYorkCity, {{Boston}}, and a summer road trip around [[{{UsefulNotes/TheUnitedStates}} America]] when he was younger. Ironically, he rarely visits SanFrancisco despite living in its vicinity.

* WritersBlock: Dives into this occasionally, usually for no more than a month.

* PastimesProvePersonality: Writing, Reading, Gaming, Chess, Art, Music, studying all kinds of subjects...There's a pattern in there, somewhere.

* TheQuietOne: The written word is his preferred medium of communication. When he actually speaks aloud, most people can't hear him.

* HiddenDepths: He can actually sing decently, but is too self-conscious to show it. Instead, he claims that [[HollywoodToneDeaf no one should be subjected to it.]]

* RealMenWearPink: As mentioned above, he dismisses gender roles in favor of what he really enjoys. He was a {{Wholesome Crossdresser}} during his college days, and has a bit of a [[CutenessProximity weak spot for cute things]].

* GeniusBookClub: As a teenager, he made the effort to read every piece of classic literature he could find.

* JadeColoredGlasses: Occasionally falls into this.

* TheSmartGuy: Usually the go-to guy for ideas and planning in {{Real Life}}.
