Hi, my name is Mabs and this is my First character. I found this site through ROCKY. Something you should know about me is I am a super RP nerd and a nervously fast poster. ;].
Canon: Greek Mythology
Custom Title: All is fair in love and war.
PHYSICAL
Age: 32
Gender: Male
Appearance: Reed possesses a decidedly dark appearance about him, his dark hair and dark eyes giving him an almost dangerous and stern appearance when he is not smiling. He has a look of older affluence, much like a young lawyer should look to be. Reed embodies all things masculine and possesses a decided male vitality, paired with his charm that offers an attractive aura to women. He appears charming and handsome, arrogant and affluent as well. In a word, he appears as the typical womanizer.
Height: 6' 3"
Body: Athletically built
Other distinguishing features: He has a scar above his brow, close to his hairline on the right side, from a brawl when he was younger.
Wardrobe: Reed is rarely seen in anything other than a three-piece suit, impeccably dressed and thoroughly slicked back like the slick bastard he is. He had a pure silver pocket watch that was his father’s, and the only thing he owns that he doesn’t necessarily resent completely when thinking of his father. He is always dressed in perfection, with the exception of his occasional get away to Martha’s Vineyard when he wants to escape with a lovers for a vacation, and then he really doesn’t wear clothes at all. [/ul]
Play By: Hugh Jackman
PERSONALITY
General personality: One look at Reed Armstrong and you’ll automatically put a few words beside his name. Charming, successful, and handsome. But he’s more than that. Oh he’s a womanizer, and a cad in truth, and he really doesn’t care. Reed possesses a typical greedy personality, wanting the best for his selfish needs and that is it. His ex-wife continued to whine about that, but in truth Reed is rarely kind enough to recognize his own faults to help others.
Reed doesn’t attempt to hide this side of his personality and one may wonder why he married in the first place, but that of course was a suggestion from his father, whom he detests. Reed charms the pants off, quite literally, of any woman he encounters that doesn’t look like a dog and doesn’t try to tell him what to do. Though occasionally he feels up to a challenge, when he gets bored of the bimbos, but that is a rare occurrence. It is obviously no secret that Reed enjoys his selfish life and will make no effort to change it.
The deeper parts of Reed are hardly as terrible as his exterior seems, at least certain parts. He has a fondness for cooking and smooth jazz music, and he enjoys dipping into piano bars, for as long as it takes for a smoky broad to try and make him swoon for her. Reed enjoys the fine things in life. Fine dining. Fine music. Fine clothing. Fine wine. Fine women. And he will hardly sacrifice his selfishness for anyone, even a wife.

BACKGROUND
Family:
Janice Armstrong (deceased), mother
Harrington “Harry” Armstrong (56), father
Franny Ransford (28), ex-wife
Education:Graduate of Harvard Law School
Occupation:Corporate Lawyer
Worst past experience: His marriage to Franny Ransford. She was always a boring woman of ill looks and behavior and Reed only married the woman to appease his wretched father.
Best past experience: His first major deal. Reed drew up the contracts for a company takeover that would later collapse one of his father’s clients, in turn taking millions out from under his father’s feet.
Image: To the untrained eye, Reed appears as a charismatic man worth any woman’s affections. A closer look shows that he is in fact a selfish and greedy sort, though he provides his lovers with enough attention to appease them as he sates himself. Reed is rich and arrogant looking to anyone, and he is well known as the ruthless lawyer who’s name is dabbled through the papers in various columns of appraisal, reproach, and gossip.
History: 32 years ago, Anthony Reed Armstrong was born in an affluent home in New York, a decorated and well maintained town house belonging to Janice and Harry Armstrong. Reed, as he later chose to be called, was spoiled by his mother and ignored by his father, while his blue blooded trust fund grew and his silver spoon was put up in the good silver cabinet. He was privileged from the beginning, which later served to push him into private school, a boarding school in Ithica that catered to the affluent children of the upper class New Yorkers. Reed was well-liked and popular with the boys, being athletic and the star of every sports team he could play on. And the girls swooned at the sight of him, wanting to just spend a few hours in his company if they could. He continued this Gossip Girl aura up to college, when he was accepted to Harvard easily.
Despite his athleticism and his selfish and slightly underperforming attitude in high school where grades were concerned, Reed excelled in law school. Perhaps it was that he took to the warring world of law easily, like a fish to water, and he soon found himself interning under his father’s company upon graduation, moving back to New York. Reed worked for his father, of course that was liberally put. He oftentimes put off the grunt work on other colleagues because he was Armstrong’s son, and he wafted through the firm with ease. That was, until Reed was told that he would marry, or his father would cut all his funds.
Reed, being the slacker he had been, hardly had the means to keep up his lifestyle without his father’s aide. And so he made an offer to the plain looking Franny Ransford, one of this father’s old friend’s daughters. Reed wafted through the engagement, marriage, and honeymoon much likehe had his first years of his career: eternally bored.
Reed finally discovered his penchant for corporate law elsewhere, and signed over to working for a firm opposing his father’s own firm. With Reed’s first big deal he collapsed millions of dollars out from under his father’s feet, and completely severed the ties between them, which had already been strained since his mother’s death a year previously.
Reed and his wife Franny, were unhappily married for 7 years, yielding no children between them, as Franny slowly came to suspect she was infertile. Though that was hardly the motivation for Reed’s divorce from her. He was glad that there were no children to muck up the process, in truth, and he was finally financially stable enough and settled in his career to divorce the hand-picked bride, casting her aside with little endeavor of civilty in truth. Within the same week that his divorce was announced in the papers, so was a large piece about another case that he won out from under his father’s company, his reputation slowly overshadowing the elder Armstrong’s.
THE SAMPLE
In Character Sample:
”Well Evette, I know I can count on you to keep up to date,” Reed commented back, casually rubbing her bottom and thighs. He and Evette had been lovers before, and occasionally enjoyed a roll in the sheets together, with no strings attached.
”I haven’t seen you around in a while,” she continued, taking a sip of his drink before lowering her voice sensually. ”Tonight’s your lucky night too. I happen to be awfully free.”
Free. Goddamn did he love that word.
She was already standing and leading him up to her flat, as she was the owner of the shady little piano bar, and he was already loosening his tie. Reed Armstrong was back in town. And business was booming. [/ul]
