Appearance;
Dustil has semi-long red hair that is spiked. He has amber eyes, and his irises are lighter in the middle and darken toward the edges. He is slightly muscular, has somewhat tan skin and is average height for his age.
Personality;
Upon first meeting him, Dustil's personality can easily come off as cocky and annoying. He's impulsive, shortsighted and often downright rude and ignorant. He hardly ever lets anyone come close to him, but occasionally he will make a few friends. He has a habit of only thinking about himself and what's best for him. Despite this, it is possible for him to care about others who respect him just as much. He really does have a heart deep down there, but nobody'd believe it. Even toward friends, Dustil makes a habit of making jests that more sensitive individuals would be offended by. He defends his pride at all costs, which makes one of the easiest ways of angering him to humiliate him. While he can be difficult and insensitive, Dustil could never be cruel. Adding to that, he holds a soft spot for women and young children.
History;
Dustil grew up in a fairly large city, complete with dark back alleys and shady individuals. The town was crawling with gangs, though most were relatively harmless. Dustil was in one of these gangs, but not the kind who'd rob people, steal cars or deal with drugs. They spent most of their time trying to act tough for whoever happened to pass by. Every once in a while, you'd hear about two or three real gangs get into a war. And, every time it happened, you'd hear about some innocent who took the wrong route home and got caught in the crossfire. Dustil's mother, three months pregnant at the time, was one of these victims. Dustil was only ten years old when his mother never made it home from work.
After his mother's death, Dustil cut ties with nearly everyone he knew. He rarely left his room, and only did so with enough coaxing from his father. He stopped going to school, and so instead was home schooled by his father. For years after his mother's death Dustil was a sad, bitter person, He hated everyone, and he made sure they knew it. His father empathized with him, but Dustil's behavior was becoming taxing. Finally, Dustil's father said something to him that caused him to change his demeanor.
"Your mom would hate to see you acting like this. And it isn't going to bring her back, either."
It made Dustil angry, at first, but then the anger turned to shame. It wasn't too long after that he began to open up. At the age of sixteen, he went back to school for the first time in six years. He was horribly behind (both academically and socially), but he learned quickly, and with the help of a few tenacious teachers he managed to catch up with the rest of his classmates. He managed to graduate on schedule, having made a few acquaintances and memories along the way. He made the decision not to attend college, and instead began looking for a job.
