Editing XCrawl:Sparkle Motion:Despair (section)

== Background ==

Despair is an athletic looking tiefling with an attractive, if obviously fiendish face, not all that dissimilar to the face of the Devil in Sinfest. He wears expensive business suits modified to let his tail poke out the back. His skin would be white if it weren't for a scarlet tint to it, his black hair is cropped short, and his eyes are a golden yellow.

He's been friends with Luka since high school, who was one of the few people who tolerated Despair's dour attitude long enough to actually get to know him, possibly because Despair had a van that they could use to get lunch off campus. They've been friends since then, and although Despair will still sometimes express overly dramatic exasperation with Luka's hijinks, he's steadfastly loyal and is always willing to let himself be 'dragged' into helping Luka out with his latest disaster.

Since graduation from high school, he's been studying to become a high school math teacher, since, as he points out, "most kids think math class is hell anyways."  He's due to start his first assistant teaching training job next fall.

He does not like to talk about his parents: his father is a successful human businessman and adventurer, and the only thing he'll say about his mother is that she has offered a job for him after he dies.
