Cross, Reginald

Literature Professor
Solways Character


Full name: Reginald Jude Cross
Nicknames/Aliases: Reggie What, what, WHAT?
Age: 34
Gender: Male
Occupation: Literature Professor at Solway's Academy

Hair: Occasionally tousled sandy coloured hair
Eyes: Light blue
Height: Five feet, ten inches tall
General appearance: Clean, cool and collected, Reginald always looks his best, in spite of his facial hair. Prefers suits (though without a tie), Cross favourizes dark colours over light ones. Though he does owns a few light coloured shirts.

Personality-Family: Reginald was born in Yorkshire, England, during a stormy night of July, the same day in which the well known Hessle Festival concluded . Has more siblings that anyone should, thanks to his unfaithful father, Cross and his little sister Reina were pretty much raised by his mother Rita who worked as a waitress in a local restaurant. Very rarely saw his father and from very young age realized that he was not particularly the most responsible man, Reginald thinks of him as some distant cousin he doesn't have much respect for and doesn't care to spend time with.

Due to the lack of paternal figure at his home, Reginald, from very young age, took it to himself to raise his own sister, and made sure to teach how to punch the lights out of anyone who tried to mess with her and to also say a curse word or two in the process. Attended a boarding school thanks to a scholarship his mother's best friend got for him, Reginald had no problem becoming friends with a couple of boys - however, thanks to his 'In Your Face', feisty, careless and impulsive nature, Cross spent most of his time on detention and would have gotten kicked out had it not been for the fact that the families of his two best friends were very influential. Thanks to said families (and good grades, bad behaviour or not) he earned a scholarship and was accepted in an American University. What University, you may ask? Princeton. So he packed up his bags, said goodbye to his mom and sister, and moved to America.

After finishing his studies, Reginald was hired to work as Literature professor in a Prep Private School in Connecticutt and worked there for a good six years before getting hired at Solways Academy as Literature Professor.

Pets: None.
Allergies: Strawberries and rich brats

Likes: Chocolate, being left alone, beach, grapes, brown eyes, coffee and books.
Dislikes: Oh, we could be here for days, but it's safe to say that his biggest dislike are the brats he has to teach about Literature everyday. Yes, he's talking to YOU, Solways students.

Anything else?: Currently engaged to Performing Arts Professor, Elsie Hayden. Took him forever to propose to her, and when he did, it was during a fight. They have not set a date yet - or rather, he hasn't for chances are that Elsie already picked the place where they are spending their honeymoon and has even named their first two children.
