part 1, part 2, part 3, nsfw version

In terms of physical appearance, Simon is said to resemble his mother more. The hair and eye color came from his paternal side.

He's also the tallest member of his immediate family.

Also has one cheek dimple, courtesy of his mom.

To piggyback off the second bullet point, this came as a surprise to his parents. They didn't expect him to shoot up like a beanstalk, especially his father.

In fact, for the longest time, his brother was bigger than he was.

He would always win when they wrestled, though.

Has two major pet peeves: broken promises and people assuming that because he's from Manchester, he must positively, ABSOLUTELY, love Manchester United.

His first pet peeve comes from the fact that his father would make empty promises as a way to keep the family (especially Simon) under his thumb. He never came through with them, always moving the goalpost to justify reneging on them.

As for the second, well... watching soccer is a pretty good way to pass the time and he doesn't mind the banter or two but he actually prefers rugby. When he was a wee lad, he actually wanted to be a rugby player when he grew up. He's also developing an appreciation for American Football as well.

Remember when Simon joked with Johnny about not being ugly under his mask? Well, it's the truth. He's not ugly. He DOES, however, look incredibly boyish when he's clean-shaven. Doesn't like full-on beards because it's too much work for him to maintain but prefers to keep a five o'clock shadow. He's tried the beard game before and it wasn't for him. Had to deal with a shit ton of ingrown hairs.

That may be why he also thinks Price's beard looks ridiculous sometimes. But he’ll forever keep that tidbit to himself.

His favorite homecooked meal is Toad in the Hole with peas, potatoes, and extra gravy.

His favorite tea is chamomile. Ghost enjoys it with two scoops of sugar and one teaspoon of milk. Will only use honey as a last resort.

Usually drinks his coffee black, too.

However, when Autumn rolls in, Simon's inner basic bitch comes out and he'll treat himself to a pumpkin spice latte every so often.

If/When he gets hot chocolate, he likes it with a lot of marshmallows and/or whipped cream.

Part of the reason he got his tattoos was that he wanted to rebel against his father who forbade any ink or piercings in the house.

And if he wasn't in the military, he'd have a couple piercings in his ears, too.

He wants to get a full sleeve next.

There's this one childhood bully he has beef with. If he ever sees the fucker again, it's on sight.

His brother wanted to name his nephew after him. Simon had to convince him not to. ("Give the kid his own identity, yeah?")

Despite his size and bulk, Simon has pretty delicate-looking wrists and ankles. His brother used to tease him about them, too.

His hair is naturally curly.

One of these days, when he has some downtime, he'd love to visit Tintagel Castle out in Cornwall.

Has a tendency to crack his phone screen more often than not.

Sometimes, when he doesn't feel like replying to you in text, he'll send an emoji. Just one. It's usually this one: 💀

And if he doesn't feel like doing that, he'll call you.

Doesn't mind FaceTime but also doesn't care for it because Simon would rather not look up into people's nostrils. ("Huh?" "Long story.")

Does. Not. Like. Mosquitos. And gnats.

When it comes to alcohol, he never has more than two drinks.

When he takes showers, the water is scalding hot. When he takes a bath, the water is ice cold.

Can't sleep with ANY light on. It has to be completely dark for him to get even a sliver of rest.

He collects knives as a hobby.

His favorite takeout food is curry. Likes it spicy as fuck, too.

Was attacked by a gull once. Don't ask.
