PERSONALITY
Where to even begin. Loyal to a fault. He tends to make friends easily, and once he thinks that they have a friendship worth fighting for, well, thats the end of it for you. You are stuck with him. His friends are his family, because that is all that he as been left with. No attachments other than the ones that he forges, but instead of keeping to himself, he would rather surround him with people that he loves and cares for. No matter who they might be. Preston has been known to be a drifter of sorts, but only due to the fact that not many people have returned the friendship that he shares with him. So with being as loyal as he is, sometimes he is overly blunt with what they might intend to need him for.
He is also passionate about his work. Hunting, well anything can be taxing, but for Preston he gets rather dedicated when he has a task at hand. He likes to show that he has completed something, even thought in the back of his mind it will never be good enough for anyone. Perfectionist to a T.
He tends to stay calm in stressful situations, which helps him to analyze a way out of the problem.
Preston also has a problem when it comes to saving people. His hero complex kicks in the moment he feels that someone might be in danger, and he has to get the ball rolling on a plan to get them out of that situation. No matter the danger to himself. It can be a hindrance to anyone that might be along for the ride, or there to help him, but if he gets to save one life, even if its just one, then he will fight tooth and nail to do so.
HISTORY
Most of it is a blur for him. Bits a pieces still filter in through when he does manage to sleep but Preston James has had a difficult life. He was born into the life. The life of hunting. Well he wasn't born into it, more like forced. His parents were killed when he was just a baby, and from then on, instead of shipping him to a foster home, Preston bounced around to different hunters that wanted to take in a child for a small time.
He never really felt like he fit in with anyone while he was growing up. Mostly awkward and totally uncoordinated as a teenager, it was odd for him when he decided that he wanted to be a hunter. Not that he enjoyed the thrill of the kill, he just wanted to help as many people as he was able to. And hunting was all that he had known.
As he was trained by so many people, he just found that doing things the way they suited him was the best. Sure it was nice for other people to take the lead for him in the beginning, but as he got older, and more experienced, came the want to run the hunts his way. After long, he was hunting on his own. Even when he shouldn't be.
At the age of 18, Pj as most of the hunters came to know him, decided that he was going to set out on his own. Sure, he could have gone the route of going to college, and getting out of the life, but how many 18 year olds knew exactly what they wanted to do?
Over the years he had begun to piece together how he had been passed around from hunter family, to hunter family.
It was the one thing that he had rarely hunted, because he knew that they would take him out before he could do any damage. Vampires. And he owed them. As much as it made him sick, he owed them for the life that he did live. If not he would have not found what he loved to do, until he was at a much older age. Sure, his parents were hunter, but they were retired. They wanted to settle down and start a family. Raise him to do something other than hunt, at least that he had been told by those that had known his parents.
So he traveled the world until he had found a nice little spot in California that seemed to be a great place for him to join a small town college, Beacon Hills. Sure he had heard the stories of the supernatural kind, that were drawn to this cute little town, but for him, he was mesmerized the moment he had first set foot there. It was here, or nowhere for him.
