FULL NAME. Owen James Harper
PRONUNCIATION. I don’t think it needs to be spelled out lmao

physical characteristics !
HAIR COLOR. Brown
EYE COLOR. Brown
SKIN TONE. Fair
BODY TYPE. Wiry, slim
ACCENT. English, London
VOICE. Not sure what to say here, so here’s a voice clip.
DOMINANT HAND. Right.
POSTURE. Relaxed and impersonal. He doesn’t slouch, but he does favor putting his weight onto one leg and folding his arms/shoving his hands into his pockets, so nothing prim and proper.
SCARS. Gunshot scar (left shoulder), gunshot scar (waist; left side), gunshot wound (chest; not healing; post-“Reset”), slice on left palm (from scalpel; wrapped up; not healing; post-“Reset”), broken left pinky (wrapped up; not healing; post-“Reset”).
TATTOOS. None
BIRTHMARKS. I imagine a few small birthmarks, like freckles, but nothing noteworthy.
MOST NOTICEABLE FEATURE(S). I’d say his facial structure. People say it’s shaped like a Dorito lmao. Or his mouth being slightly wider and his lips being almost of the same height, like one solid line instead of a noticeable bow.

HOMETOWN. Plaistow, London, England
BIRTH WEIGHT. On the low end of average
BIRTH HEIGHT. Average
FIRST WORDS. ?? Who knows. a mystery
SIBLINGS. None
PARENTS. Unnamed
PARENTAL INVOLVEMENT. Lacking. His parents were always at each other’s throats and too busy shredding each other to pieces when they, particularly his mother, were not taking anything out on him. His mother kicked him out at the age of 16 and I could only imagine his father, before his death, was either out of the picture, for the most part, or neglectful, seeing as nothing was done about Owen’s being banished. His relationship with his parents has always been wrought with turmoil and interspersed with very rare moments of a stepping-on-eggshells kind of peace. Owen does make an effort, to an extent, to repair whatever is there, but it never works and often dissuades him from trying again.
OCCUPATION. Doctor and chief medical officer of Torchwood Three
CURRENT RESIDENCE. Cardiff, Wales
CLOSE FRIENDS. Jack Harkness, Ianto Jones, Gwen Cooper, Toshiko Sato, Suzie Costello (past), Amira Hussein (past)

SEXUAL ORIENTATION. Bisexual
ROMANTIC ORIENTATION. Biromantic
PREFERRED EMOTIONAL ROLE. Submissive | dominant | switch
PREFERRED SEXUAL ROLE. Submissive | dominant | switch
LIBIDO. High
TURN ONS. People who know what they want. A sharp mind, witty, and with a biting, playful personality. Someone who’s strong-willed. Of course, sexiness. Seductive and charming. That said, really, he values kindness, tenderness, brains, and loyalty. He’s always honed in on casual sex before, but he later starts caring about and actively seeking the qualities that make for a good life partner rather than a one-night stand.
TURN OFFS. Cutesy, callousness, indecisiveness, someone who is wholly submissive and bends to someone else’s will too easily.
LOVE LANGUAGE. Touch and physical affection. Gifts. Remembering details about them.
RELATIONSHIP TENDENCIES. Owen, in a relationship, is quite supportive, protective, loyal, devoted, and reliable. He is a full supporter of continually wooing, flirting, and surprising --- it doesn't stop just because you’re in a relationship. He does, however, also have the tendency of keeping things close to his chest. Lack of communication is a terrible weakness of his, and this can often manifest into spats and arguments.
CHARACTER’S THEME SONG. There’s always “Owen’s Theme.” Honestly, though. everything on this blog is comprised of The National lyrics, and I’d think their entire discography fits him. I also named my url after the band Placebo in tandem with, well, a placebo being medical-related. A lot of their songs also fit him.
HOBBIES TO PASS TIME. Drinking, sex, sleeping... He also games!
MENTAL ILLNESSES. I cannot say for sure, but Owen is not well-adjusted.
PHYSICAL ILLNESSES. None. He’s very healthy, minus being dead post-”Reset.”
LEFT OR RIGHT BRAINED. Left-brained, although Owen’s emotions usually control him.
FEARS. Abandonment, loneliness.
SELF CONFIDENCE LEVEL. Confident, but on the surface. He hates people doubting him --- he’s aware of it --- and used to chase casual sex due to the fear of being hurt in a relationship. You can’t be wounded if you’re not invested. But what he really wants is a relationship, not meaningless sex, even if he persuades himself that that is what he really wants. When put in a position of power, he can make poor choices, feels the weight of those choices and choices still yet to make, and crumbles.
VULNERABILITIES. He’s very emotional. Although Owen puts on a tough front, a lot of who he is manifested out of the need to protect himself from emotional pain. He can additionally make decisions that protect the people he loves rather than the good of all, which can be exploited, though he cares a lot about people. More than he lets on. He’s noted to brood and be too fixated on death --- there’s always someone to save; he thinks his own life is worthwhile if he can save someone else’s --- and he gets riled up easily. His ability to put himself in other people’s shoes is lacking. I’d say he doesn’t critically reflect on himself as much or as long as he should, either. He “moves on,” but with little of the healing.
