- - - - overall personality, Deep down, once you get past the rough exterior and on his good side, Trent can be a pretty swell guy and fun friend. His humor is grand, though sometimes he can pick on stuff that other people probably don’t think is that funny. He is loyal so long as people don’t start expecting stuff out of him – especially if they want him to change. Also, pity parties are a big no-no for Trent. He loathes people who either want to complain of their situations, or “sympathize” with his. In his mind, no one can really understand what he is going through and he’d rather not be offended by something attempting to step into his shoes.
Otherwise, Trent is blunt and honest. He says what is on his mind and usually provides unnecessary commentary of how he feels on a situation. Sometimes, he does this to purposely annoy another if he knows how to push their buttons – though, it is all in good sport. Trent doesn’t actually mean any harm by what he says. In fact, the guy is rather careless in that fashion. He sometimes says what people expect to hear, or want to hear; he gives them what they want and meanwhile, whatever he is spewing forth probably means absolutely nothing to him personally. This is especially true for relationships. Trent is known to spin tales that he understands will endear the girl to him. It isn’t that he lies (though if that needs to be done, he will since his honesty only pertains to his thoughts of a situation), he simply embellishes and exaggerates until they consider him the greatest thing to walk the earth.
Trent is a cocky, confident sort, mostly because he thinks it will attract people to him and he can enjoy himself when centered with such attention. Trent is as outspoken as he is observant. Its in his nature to shut his mouth and pay attention, which he can do fairly well. Things rarely escape his notice, unless his interest in the matter is unnecessary. He gives equal amount of time digesting a situation and (as mentioned before) providing commentary. Subtleties are his strong point – Trent’s overactive imagination can formulate many ideas around a certain subject until he merely ends up assuming which one is most likely. He spends an extraordinary amount of time dissecting others, and their behavior. It’s all he’s done his entire life anyway. Trent knows within the first few minutes of meeting a person whether or not he can even tolerate them. His behavior towards this unfortunate depends upon the judgment he makes. He is not one to form relationships of any kind – in an old-fashioned way; Trent believes if love ever happens for him, it will hit him when he first meets the girl. He seriously doubts he will ever meet a girl worthwhile to chase, and therefore just uses whatever a lady offers him until the passion between them has died. Though, truth be told, after witnessing what his father had with his mother, Trent’s a little afraid of true commitment. He won’t do anything to his lover if he’s dead, and doesn’t see the sense in causing unnecessary heartache (even though he seems oblivious to the hearts he’s already breaking).
He is also a very argumentative and confrontational person. Trent gets very defensive of himself; he does not like to delve into his personal issues, whether he knows you or not. He can get downright surly to those who are relentless, continually pushing for him to open up. Trent isn’t the nicest person out there – he is like a hermit, sheltering himself from the world and refusing to let anyone in to convince him he can be anything different. His language can get colorful, especially when his temper flares (which is actually quite easy to rile). Whenever he flies off the handle, it can be a destructive thing to either the person or environment he’s around at the time. Now, Trent would never hit a woman, but he’s got no issues with decking a man who thinks to try his patience, even if the guy can bloody him to a pulp. He will welcome the chance to be flattened, really, as it would take his mind off things. But Trent often throws or breaks things as well when he’s tantruming, and therefore casualties can be had.

- - - - overall history, Hayden and Sydney had a strong bond that a lot of people would be envious over – they had fallen, hard and fast, for each other within the first few minutes. It was the classic ‘love at first sight’ tale; they rushed marriage and neither family thought it would last very long, let alone the thirty-some years they were blissfully together. By the time Trent came into the picture, they were older and established in Australia. Hayden had made himself a successful mechanics business named for his family, which he hoped to pass onto his eldest son, Grady, when the time came. They weren’t wealthy by any means, but comfortable. They were a close-nit bunch, even the children despite the age gaps. Trent was closest to his sister Amelia, though he and Grady often wrestled and joked around too. Trent looked up to his brother, even. He wanted to be just like Grady and his father, who both spent long hours working together in the garage and came home dirty.
Good things never last, or at least that is what Trent believes now. He was sixteen when his mother got diagnosed with Leukemia; her sickly pallor and weakening health had alarmed everyone, and they finally got their answer. Sydney was a strong lady, though. Hayden was devastated by the news, even more so when she refused treatment that could very well save her or at the least delay the inevitable. Her belief was she had already enjoyed a long, good life and there was no reason to suffer through the last of it. Trent wasn’t sure how to cope. In private, he seemed angry and would often break things to vent his frustration. Around her, he tried to keep a smile to his features and ignore the wasted look that crept into her features. He loved her, as did his siblings. The family was at a loss, but Sydney refused to let them change anything. They did their best to keep things how they were.
Sydney passed away before Trent’s seventeenth birthday – she missed it by a week, actually. They didn’t celebrate his birthday; instead, the family spent time arranging the funeral and paying proper respect. At first, everyone was numbed. Trent stared at his mother’s casket for an hour, disbelieving that such a vivacious lady could have been taken away so quickly. Hayden bore the worst of it. His grief was rather public, and privately, he wasn’t much different. He turned to the bottle for solace, and all he seemed to do was talk about little things that reminded him of her. (It became common for the man to cry himself asleep every night.) Eventually, his father didn’t even want to remain in Sydney, Australia anymore – the name, the country; everything brought fresh memories to him.
Grady and Amelia chose to stay. Grady took on the family business for Hayden, and Amelia had her own life with a man she was engaged to. Trent was too young to make his own decision, and frankly, he didn’t want to remain where his mother’s memory was around every corner either. He also didn’t want to leave his father. The two packed up and headed off to the states, where other distant relations had already settled. With the help of his cousin, Hayden secured a two-bedroom home for he and his son. Within a few months, he began a new Carmody Mechanics, thinking he could lose himself in work. And he did – Hayden spent long hours slaving away for quality work, to keep himself from returning to boozing. Trent joined him often for the same reasons; he would come home, covered in oil and grease, happy that he had exhausted himself.
Doctors worried that Trent and his siblings might have what Sydney did. He was encouraged to go in for testing, and so he did. Trent went in for frequent tests (and continues to do so) to hear a verdict. Amelia and Grady called with the news that neither of them had any cause for alarm, it seemed. This relieved Hayden; the man wasn’t ready to handle the distress of losing his children, too. Trent didn’t have much luck, however. His results came back ambiguous; doctors weren’t positive, but things weren’t positive, either. The teenager couldn’t get anyone to give him a yes or no answer – he didn’t know if he suffered from cancer himself, or not. Judging by the reactions of those around him, Trent assumed his odds weren’t good at all. He made the decision early, though. He wasn’t as strong as his mother, and he planned to combat the disease if things got so drastic. To think of his father and how he would feel, having to lose his wife and then his son was what encouraged Trent the most. Already his dad was different, and he didn’t think he’d last through another depression. Not to mention the kid was rather scared of dying, too.
Trent keeps his history and straight facts a secret from people. His family are the ones who know what’s going on with him – they know where he disappears to every month, and why. He’s doing his best not to focus on the negative. After the loss of his mother, he became numb to the entire situation and vowed he wouldn’t just let himself waste away. The idea of dying scares Trent; he wants to live a long, healthy life with people he loves. For now, while his future is uncertain, Trent appears to be pushing people away so they don’t get too close. He has friends, and he has lovers, but things haven’t been going any deeper than that. And, as long as he knows things are bleak for him, Trent doesn’t plan to ever get too close. [/ul][/ul]
