history_
Born in the summer time, he became the second son of Roselyn Beaupre and William Appleton. His birth wasn’t too glorious, being born in the backseat of a taxi and all. Nevertheless, he was the apple of his parents' eyes. Growing up in the California, Shawn would get into a whole lot of trouble. Shawn and his brother would fight constantly, but they had their moments of peace too. With the new addition of his little sister Jessica, it soon became an extremely noisy household.
Shawn found his love of art with the help of his father. William, a head architect for the city, would bring his work home with him. Shawn would then watch his father or attempt to “help” him via Crayola markers. His parents bought him little art sets of his own and Shawn was hooked. His mother would show him pictures of different works of art while growing up, mostly from the Renaissance era. This would be the basis of his art style from then on.
Growing up, he would get good marks in school and even better ones in art. William and Roselyn decided to expand his range of creativity and enrolled him in various music classes. That’s when he fell in love with the guitar. He was only 13 at the time, but he was addicted to the instrument. His commitment to it deepened when he found out that girls started to pay attention to him when he played. Later on, he picked up the skill to sing and play at the same time. Though his art and music is great, his voice is nothing special.
With a better job opportunity at Connecticut, the Appleton family moved and the children were to be enrolled in Banting University. Shawn was both upset and excited to move away from sunny California. Never truly finding a clique, he slipped under the “unlabeled” group and got comfortable.

likes&;dislikes_
beliefs_ Naturally, Shawn is very big on the creative arts. He likes to volunteer for arts and craft events at fairs or be a tour guide for local exhibits. Occasionally, he’ll perform for fund raisers or drives that support the arts, but he prefers hands on stuff. He doesn’t care much for politics and dubs himself independent. Prejudice is something he will never stand or stand for.
habits&quirks_ Shawn is a bit restless and can’t help but fidget. He’ll tap his foot while standing, strum his fingers on a desk table or do the annoying pen clicking thing. Sometimes, he doesn’t know that he’s doing. If something not grabbing his attention, he reverts to this kind of behavior. He’s also pretty nervous around flirty girls or girls he likes.
gen.personality_
Art has been his
For a while, one would think that reality would stomp his optimism into dust. Not with this guy, no way no how. Shawn is like sunlight in a jar; if you need some cheering up, Shawn will be there to make your day. Or, at least, try to. He is deathly loyal when it comes to his friends and expects the same treatment. He is very outgoing and quite friendly to just about anyone.
Socially, Shawn is a chameleon of sorts. Although he associates himself mostly with the artistic or nerdy types, he could fit in with the other cliques if he wanted to. He has a friendly demeanor to anyone who would want to speak with him. Shawn keeps an open mind when it comes to other people and ideals. He isn’t the type to shun or mock the different. As long as people don’t step on his toes, he’ll be just fine.
Shawn has a boyish charm to him and his naivety doesn’t help much. Often times, he is treated as a little brother when he befriends women. That, or their maternal instinct turns on and he ends up being babied. This has caused Shawn to try more “manly” activities, such as snowboarding or eating a pound of cheese under 30 minutes. So far, there hasn’t been much success, but he’s working on it.
Although the cash flow seemed endless, he wasn’t spoiled rotten while growing up. He had to earn his allowance, doing chore or helping his father draw out some simple designs. Of course, his doting mother would drop some cash for him once in a while. Other than that, he has learned to live with what he’s got and to earn whatever else he wants.
Overall, Shawn is the sweet “nice guy”. He keeps his loved ones close and isn’t afraid to show a little kindness once in a while. He’ll be the shoulder to cry on, the walking diary, or the emotional punching bag. All he really wants to see people happy, especially if it’s someone he deeply cares for. He tries his best to keep his chivalry active and in check, but he tends to slack off. Shawn is a passionate lover and when he finds the one he is absolutely crazy about, he treats her like a queen. He pours his heart into any serious, romantic relationship. He tends to be cheesy at first, but his creativity flourishes when he has the right inspiration.
