Tony Flynn Arkell

Anthony "Tony" Flynn Arkell

Yo.

Tony is a very down-to-earth kind of fellow.  He's sweet mannered and ridiculously adorable.  He stands just over six feet tall and is built a bit on the under-average side of the weight scale.  He looks skinner than he really is as he's got a slender frame.

Needless to say, the male has brown eyes with a green core and golden flecks.  He has thick, long eyelashes that constantly make him look like he's wearing makeup (he really isn't).  A smile is almost always on his cheeky face.  During the summer months, Tony even gets himself some freckles around the nose and cheek area.

His hair color varies depending on the season.  Spring and summer tend to show off lighter shades of brown whereas during the winter Tony has a reddish shade of brown.  He likes to wear his hair longer, but he never lets his hair never falls past his chin.

Regarding his attire, Tony likes to keep things casual.  Some fancy jeans with a nice v-neck usually do the trick.  If it's a tad cool outside, he'll toss on a leather jacket.

The brunette doesn't have any piercings or tattoos.  He does, however, have a few scars.  One scar is on his "ring-finger" toe.  His cat accidentally tripped over his foot and split his toe open.  He has another scar on his left hand just above the index finger.  Again, it's another cat scratch.  His last scar is on his right ankle.  He got into a tussle with a wire-fence.  Let's just say he lost, shall we?

When it comes to making the world a better place, Tony is all on board for it.  He was a Boy Scout his entire childhood.  He was also an avid participant in 4-H and the Rotary Club.  Having a mother who is a doctors without borders and a father who is a volunteer EMT, Tony just grew up having an open, caring heart.

You've probably never met a man as cute and cheesy as Tony.  He's one-of-a-kind.  He'll remember your birthday and give you flowers.  He knows how to make you laugh when you feel like your world is ending.  He's the first person to break the ice in awkward situations by singing some random song right off the cuff.  Tony is always laughing and always smiling too.  He's just a great guy through-and-through.

He really is the first to volunteer for anything.  He's also the first to provide a better solution too.  The kid's smart and his smartness comes hand-in-hand with being so outgoing.  He's exposed himself in so many situations that he has pretty much done it all.  He's also heard a lot of stories so he has a lot of ideas.  He pairs his mind with his personality to unleash a hell of good time.

Sometimes Tony is a little too outgoing and comes across rambunctious.  He is always talking with his hands and he doesn't have an indoor-voice.  He's naturally loud and very boisterous.  This can sometimes be a distraction and a lot of people can read into it the wrong way (they think he's a fake because he's trying too hard).

We all have our flaws, right?  Well, Tony's is that he suffers from L-A-Z-Y syndrome, making him a bit sloppy and clumsy.  He's one of those guys who has a messy room and his desk is always cluttered.  Now don't call him forgetful as that's far from true!  Remember, Tony can recall little important details of your life.  He can remember things; he sometimes chooses to be lazy and forget them.

You've probably never met a man as eager as Tony.  He's the first to raise his hand for everything.  He's also the first to try everything out.  If you want to do something, odds are, he'll do it with you.  He comes across a bit… well, let's just say people don't always like how passionate he can get.  He can act like a copy-cat too.  The girls don't mind it as they have themselves an adorable shopping buddy.  The guys?  Let's just say they're not sure if he's gay or straight yet.

Let's face it, being a healer doesn't exactly make you the strongest guy on the battlefield.  In fact, you're probably the most vulnerable as your enemies know you're their to save your teammates' asses.  In other words, you'll be the target of all their attacks so you're pretty much a sitting duck.  Fun, right?

Well, Tony's weaknesses get better.  He's a n00b.  He's not that strong yet.  In fact, he can't even raise a fallen comrade.  He can do some basic healing if you have a flesh wound.  But anything deeper?  You'll need to pay a visit to the operating room.

Another issue with Tony's powers, especially his ability to view the human nervous system and bloodstream, is that it's extremely taxing on the body.  Not to mention, the larger and more severe the wounds, the worse it is for Tony.  What do I mean by that?  Well, you can't just make a giant hole in your stomach go away.  It has to be displaced and put elsewhere.  Where do you ask?  Tony.  He has to inflict himself with all serious damage.

Thank god the kid has stamina and heart, right?

Shall we skip the part about his sister's death and go right to Tony's middle school days?  I think yes!

His father practically paid to put his mom through medical school.  It really took its toll on the family but it was a justifiable cause.  While she was at school, Tony was in the fifth grade.  That's when he started to notice he was different from the other boys.  Now, he never thought himself gay as he wanted nothing more than to date a woman, but he did notice that he just wasn't fitting in.  The usually bullying started and by the end of eighth grade, Tony was the kid to pick on.

Thankfully, his parents moved and Tony got to start over.  It was great -- for all of them.

Upon starting his high school days, Tony decided to really make a name for himself.  He was smart, funny and charming.  He joined clubs and even found a local equestrian club to join.  It was a pricy thing to be a part of but he earned his keep when he offered to work at the stables during his free time.

As he moved up the totem pole and eventually became a senior, Tony had turned his life around.  He was the popular kid in school that everyone loved -- literally!  He wasn't your typical backstabber but he wasn't a conceited prick either.  He was just a really nice guy.  And smart too.

He received a letter from Heaven asking him to be a part of a week-long shadow program.  Accepting, the male was paired with an unlikely partner that just so happened to spark a real relationship to bloom between them.  Nothing romantic -- no, no!  It was simply a bromance that couldn't be matched.

A year later, Tony is now eagerly awaiting to catch up with his Heaven mentor, Renner Casanova.  He can't wait for college to start and he's super excited to pal around with Renner -- as well as all the other kids at the school.

My sister died when I was two.  I never knew her but apparently she was a pretty cool gal.  Candy lost her life when she was eight.  Mom and dad don't really like to talk about it but I know it had something to do with malpractice and cancer.  I do believe it was leukemia.  Ever since her death, I've been frequenting hospitals and getting bi-yearly blood tests and exams done to make sure I don't have anything cancerous within me.  Let's just say I lost my fear of needles long ago.
