OVERALL APPEARANCE:
Deka is sturdy, strong, and attractive in a distinctly forest way, almost like a forest ranger or a lumberjack. His height and size make him easy to pick out in a crowd and his curly red hair and warm green eyes make him really distinctive. He carries himself with confidence, and he radiates warmth and friendliness.
He takes care of himself; he's fit and he keeps his nails polished and manicured (as much as he can anyway) and, if you look closely, he sometimes wears the faintest hint of eyeliner. Just to make his eyes pop.

STRENGTHS: Strong, warm, kind, affectionate, genuine, expressive, excitable
WEAKNESSES: Pushover, dense, overbearing, avoidant, distracted
OVERALL PERSONALITY:
Deka comes off as large and imposing- and he can be when he wants to!- but he's actually a sweetheart beneath all of that. He's very friendly and enjoys chatting with people about everything and anything. If you need a hand, he's the guy to ask! He's well-meaning and does his best, even if he can't do much.
But, as much as Deka loves helping other people, he doesn't like asking for help, preferring to keep his problems to himself and shoulder through it. It's not fair to ask other people to take on his issues, after all.
BACKGROUND
HOMETOWN: A small rural town some distance away from Los Eurosia.
FAMILY: Estranged from his father; living with his mom, who has aging-related health problems. Friendly with his cousin, Nicole. Rocky relationship with his cousin, Red.
PETS: None, but he's remarkably friendly with dogs.
HISTORY:
If you asked Deka about his past, he'd say it was pretty good. His parents were happy together, if a bita lotbroke, and they did their best to give him a good childhood. He grew up running around in the forest around their home, learning how to be the best boy scout in the troop, and crushing it on the soccer field.
What he wouldn't say is that things took a turn for the worst when he was in high school. His mom- a bright and shining personality- started to get sick. At a young age, Deka became her caretaker. He did his best to care for her and support their small family, even as he started falling behind in school and eventually had to drop out of college.
But it wasn't all bad! His cousin, Red Ciranor, started staying with them after his grandmother died. It was exciting- he could have a brother, someone his age to actually hang out with. Someone he could call a brother.
The problem was that Red never warmed up. He was always distant and dismissive, and he barely engaged with Deka. It was heartbreaking, but what could Deka do really? He couldn't make someone like him. Not that it mattered really; one mediocre income couldn't support all three of them.
And then one day, Red disappeared. What little he'd brought with him was gone too, like he'd never been there. Deka spent weeks looking for him. He couldn't've just left- where else would he go? There was nothing but forest for miles. What if he was hurt?
But there was no sign of Red. Deka had basically accepted his disappearance when he got a call from Nicole. She had seen Red in the city and, if Deka wanted answers, he'd have to track him down on his own because "Red's weird and freaky." It sucked, but honestly, it could've been worse. The city had more jobs that paid better, and it was close enough that he could stay home and keep an eye on his mom. So Deka started searching, both for a job and his wayward cousin.
