Appearance:

Able is tall, dark haired, and usually has a smile on his face. He has brown eyes, a piercing in his lower lip, and a tattoo on his stomach matching the cover art of his favorite album. He wears mostly black clothing. When he wears a shirt, it's usually button up, but never tucked in. Just as often, though, he goes without a shirt to show off his tattoo. However, he's never without his half jacket.

Able usually has odds and ends in his pockets that he uses to make bracelets, necklaces, and other jewellery when he gets board. Generally, they can be seen hanging or poking out of his pockets.

Personality:
Abel Cunningham is a fun-loving soul. He enjoys a good game, or a good night at the pub. Flirting with pretty waitresses is one of his trademarks, but he rarely is seen coming out of one's room in the morning. He does his best to ensure everyone around him is having as good a time as he is. He isn't afraid to reveal his more-gay-than-not nature, and has had to fend off attackers more than a few times because of it. He's not afraid of a good fight, but he never goes looking for one, either. He'll stand up for himself, and for those he cares about, and won't back down when he knows he's right.

Abel is proud of his heritage. He doesn't have a choice, in his mind. His father's blood surges through his veins so strongly that he can't help but be what he is. He embraces it, for the most part. He loves having fun, but his greatest desire is to do the one thing his father never managed to do: find someone he can settle down with. However, he refuses to do it with just anyone. He'll flirt with anyone, but it takes a very special person for him to consider a real relationship with them.

How Their Life Is / Was

[/color]Father: Larence Van Winkle (deceased)
Mother: Jessica Cunningham
Sibling/s: None
History:
Abel Cunningham was born into English high society. He never fit in. He was always a little odd, and everyone noticed it. His mother did everything she could to teach him proper etiquette and manners, but they never seemed to stick. Not because he wouldn't learn them. He knew them forwards and backwards. It's just that he never saw any use for them. He loved his mother, and wanted to make her happy, but he just couldn't bring himself to follow all those ridiculous rules. As he grew older and hit puberty, yet another oddity appeared. He found himself attracted to the same sex just as much, of not more so, than the opposite. What was worse, he never learned to hide it. As such, his mother was even more shamed in her social circles.

Abel didn't like causing his mother grief, but he couldn't deny who he was. So, at sixteen, he ran off to Ireland to find his father. His mother had told him about his father since he was little, and told him the full story when he was old enough to understand. With these stories to guide him, he trekked all across Ireland searching for his father. Along the way, he learned what it was to be and Irishman. What surprised him was that the things that made him odd in England made him fit right in in Ireland. Well, all but one. Luckily, he learned how to fight fairly quickly, too.

It took him four months of travelling the countryside, going from village to village, before he finally found his father. When he finally did, it was only to find that he had died. Abel's adventure had come to an end, and the end was a bitter one. He attended his father's funeral, and stayed at his father's place while he figured out what to do next. That night, he realised he was lost. His father was dead, he couldn't afford to stay here, and he couldn't go back to his mothers. She was finally able to live the life she wanted without him there as a cause of ridicule.

That night, in his darkest, lowest hour, he was dragged into Wonderland.

Roleplaying Sample:
Abel walked down the halls of the giant castle, a bottle of Wonderjuice (as he called it) in one hand, and nursing the other hand. He knew his actions got him into trouble a lot, but why were there those that wanted to kick his ass even when he hadn't done anything? Maybe it was because he hoarded all the alcohol. That could be it. Speaking of, it was time for another shot, so he raised the bottle to his lips and took a long drink. When the bottle came back down, he was walking a little more irregularly, but still upright. "Ah," he said, "Now that's good stuff. Not quite as good as they 'ave back home, but good, nonetheless."

The Irishman kept walking down the hall back toward his room, hoping that he could avoid anymore trouble for the day. It had been a long one, and he was ready to relax on what passed for a bed around here. Hopefully his mistress would get here soon. He wanted to go back to her place. Things were a little more friendly there. A little. Oh, well. Maybe he could make his mistress a new necklace. She did seem to appreciate his work, and making thing always made him feel better. Yeah, that's what he'd do.
