Personality (in 3-4 sentences): At first sight, Shiloh isn't the easiest of boy's to understand how to take. Naturally, he is sarcastic and filled with witty remarks. While his general personality is far from bitter and hurtful, it comes across that way when he doesn't mean for it to. It's never his intent not to make friends, although he can be seen as both rude and annoying at once. There haven't been a lot of people in his life that understood him right away, but those few that have connected easily. He's a fun-loving boy; the type that enjoys partying with his friends without being a complete lunatic.
At school, he works hard, although often complains about the work. While intelligence, his failure often lies in his attention span. He's one to bore easily and to need a little more to hold him over. And when it comes to studying text books, he would much rather doze off right there.
History (in 3-4 sentences):
The boy that held it all together.
In 1985, a young woman had been consciously pondering the idea of marrying a man that she had fallen for. However, the love wasn't the kind of bond that felt like forever-- It simply had a potential that she didn't want to leave undiscovered. Charles Ferguson was a man set to inherit his father's business and already came from a family of old money. Now, while she didn't want to consider herself shallow, it would be the best man to start a family with. He already had all of the other caring attributes that would make him a wonderful father. Charles wasn't in a rush to marry, however, and it wasn't until news of his girlfriend's pregnancy that he decided to tie the knot.
Neither of them wanted the child to be born out of wedlock. They didn't want to consider themselves only marrying for him-- He was just the jump that they needed, and of course the woman was far more content with it. He was the seal on their permanent deal. They would be together forever, because they shared one thing. A kid.
Two years later, another son was born, and the family was off to a wonderful start. The parents had more than enough money to support their family and it was their mother that stayed home with them for a good portion throughout the day. It was a happy and luxurious childhood for the two boys and Shiloh was grateful, even at his young, selfish age.
Most of his childhood was spent never wanting to go anywhere else. He had good friends, a wonderful school and access to the beach whenever he wanted it. In fact, since his younger years, it was hard to ever get him away from the water. And when he wasn't allowed to leave, he made his home in the swimming pool, wishing that he could be out in the ocean.
This perfect life went on and on for years. After he finished secondary school, he decided to take a break and to travel. With a couple of friends at his side, he took a trip around Europe and wound up back home again. After he had seen all that he wanted to, he decided to go back to school. Two years into Westminster, however, and his entire world started to fall apart.
His father's business caved-- And with that, so did his paycheck. While they should have had more than enough money, it turned out that his father hadn't been keeping up on a lot of debts and moneys owed. The family lost practically anything. They shot from upper class to lower-middle class in a matter of months. It was devastating for their way of life, and Shiloh nearly lost his education. Even now, he barely hangs on a thread in his sophomore year. His only hope is his scholarships and those aren't easy for him to keep.
