He is Caucasian, but is pale from a lack of sun. His light blue eyes have dark circles around them from being too much on the computer and a lack of sleep. He is slightly overweight from lack of exercise. His dark brown hair is kept short for convenience, with the bangs around the middle of his forehead and the sides cut. Has stubble alongside his chin and around the mouth. He uses a pair of square framed glasses due to being long sighted. Seth has a round face with a long nose in the middle beneath a pair of almond shaped eyes and above a large mouth with thin lips. He has a light and lispy voice despite his appearance. On abduction day he was wearing his glasses alongside a blue and grey check shirt, a white t-shirt underneath, dark blue jeans and light green sneakers. Biography: Seth was born to Roger and Lillian Dunn on March 28th, 2000. Roger met Lillian at a party a few years before the two started a relationship. The two met repeatedly over the years at various parties and shops in the area. At the time he was in a relationship with another woman, but broke it off around the time he pursued her. They married shortly after Seth was born. The first of three children with Jillian being born 2 years after Seth and James born 2 years after Jillian. Seth gets along great with his family. He looks up to his father and finds him inspiring for his work as a computer technician at the hospital, meanwhile he looks up to his mother for dealing with her MS for years and working all the while, as such he tries to help out at home with chores such as cleaning and washing as well as taking their chihuahua named Tyson out for walks. He looks out for his siblings and tries to be more mature in their presence, although in recent years his relationship with James has turned cold with James usually disagreeing with Seth and the two fighting on the occasion, he gets along better with Jillian. Seth’s always been interested in video games. From the first time he picked up a controller at 5 it’s been one of the interests he’s kept up with the most over the years. Due to his attention span he found it difficult to keep his interest and focus on an interest as over time his attention would fade to something else, video games however he found a good way to keep his focus and attention on whatever he’s playing. With video games he enjoys the sense of accomplishment it would give him especially if it’s an RPG or strategy game. While he has a habit with of not completing games and switches up what he plays from week to week. He’s still managed to keep his interest in it for so long, mostly from how video games have been a substitute for him when he was lacking friends. And even when he managed to make friends with people, he found video games an easy way to spend time having fun and easy to learn. He enjoys RPGs the most out of all the genres he plays and his favorite game in the genre is Suikoden 2. It didn’t take long for his parents to realise that Seth was different from other children. He seemed to learn things at a slower rate than them and had troubles dealing with others socially. He also struggled with spontaneity and changes. Finding it difficult to adapt and taking a longer time than others to do so. His parents found that they had to teach him how to behave when out with people and it would take a while for it to stick. He also seemed especially clumsy and lacking coordination. His father once remarking he was like an octopus on land.This became especially prominent once he started at elementary school, enough for them to call in a psychologist. Not long after he was diagnosed with Asperger syndrome at the age of 7 and it was a frequent source of frustration for him. He would often blame it as if it was the sole cause of his problems. Due to this, Seth had problems with other students. Finding himself having an easier time identifying with people far older or younger than him than people of his own age. As he lacked the same interests as other boys or girls and had trouble keeping a conversation without turning it over to his own interests. Because of this they started avoiding him and he found himself lacking any close friends. Around his fifth year in elementary did he stop trying to gain friends and preferred to hole himself up in his room playing video games or watching flash movies on the internet using his father’s home computer. Seth had a trying time when it came to classwork. He often got distracted by other students antics or bored by the class and since his seat was by the window, would stare out and using his imagination, create worlds or stories in his head to humor himself. However, his teachers found that when he was invested in the class such as with history, he could be a great student who’d answer a lot of questions and would talk with the teacher one on one when it came to the subject. He found history an easy subject as it was static and as such easy to follow for him. He found himself naturally curious when it comes to history and loves to learn about various events and people. He would read up on history in his spare time and would go to great lengths to learn about various time periods he found interesting, in particular the second World War, an interest that was started by a viewing of Schindler’s List. He enjoys history because it allows him to broaden his horizon on various cultures and ideologies as well as learn about places and countries he's never been to. Middle school was an especially trying time for Seth. He had the same problems as he did in elementary school, with the added onset of puberty causing him to struggle with his self image due to a bad break out of spots on his back and bullying from classmates. He found himself holed up more and more in his room as time went on and had to speak with school psychiatrist on several occasions. His work in class deteriorated rapidly and he started speaking with people far less. His teachers took notice of this and through several conversations with his parents, managed to get him in smaller classes where he could work alone with a teacher to help him through. They also managed to quell the bullying he was suffering from and his time towards the end improved, even making a few friends that he kept in high school; because of this he’s very loyal to those who’s close to him. It was around this time he found his interest in professional wrestling after getting Smackdown vs Raw as a birthday gift from his parents. He found the larger than life characters interesting and the physicality of it all appealing. He started looking up old matches on Youtube, slowly working his way from there to watching Wrestlemania live with his parents. While they don’t see the appeal of it, especially Roger, they both see that it’s something he’s invested in and therefore support him in his interest. He’s also a member of a wrestling forum where he mostly posts gifs and pictures to share with friends. It was also around this time he found his interest in anime through watching movies like Akira and Ghost in the Shell and anime series like Gunbuster and One Piece. Finding them after watching abridged series online and finding the japanese animation more appealing than the western cartoon animation that he used to watch as a child. He found the status quo style plots and the overly silly humor of a lot of cartoons put him off and prefers the ongoing story style and seriousness of different anime. While he concedes to recent cartoons going with that style as well such as Gravity Falls and Steven Universe, he finds it difficult to sit down and watch. It was in high school that Seth joined the anime club for the purpose of meeting and talking with others about it after struggling to do so when he was in middle school. At first Seth would go from club to club, unable to choose and rapidly shifting his interests from week to week as his attention span made it difficult for most to keep him interested for longer than that. It got to the point his parents put their foot down and forced him to pick something and stick with it. In private Seth started writing on the internet, as a means of expressing himself creatively and he finds it easier to use his imagination with the possibilities of writing as whenever he isn’t doing something he tends to idly imagine new plot ideas for his characters and new worlds. He found himself preferring science fiction as a genre in writing and enjoys reading books in said genre. He enjoys how they can take allegories or metaphors to real life events in some form as a message to the reader. For his own writing however, he goes for a slice of life genre of writing as he likes writing different people and taking their mindset and how they would deal with day to day life. He also feels he has to get better at writing contemporary stories before he writes a science fiction story. He's put together a draft of a short story for himself that he hopes to show his parents once high school is over and hopes to one day write his own book. Seth has difficulties dealing with people who don’t understand something. If he’s in study group or in a class and someone doesn’t get something in the subject, he gets irritated, especially if it’s someone he dislikes. Because of this he struggles with group work and has trouble hiding his annoyance regarding this, which has made him a few enemies. In school Seth mostly gets average grades, though he excels in classes such as history while struggling with mathematics, finding its various forms confusing and hard to memorize. He prefers classes that are more static in their approach to teaching and found it more difficult in classes such as music and arts. In school Seth mostly sticks with his friends talking about whatever interest he has on his mind that week, along with video games, anime and wrestling. When it comes to dealing with disagreements, Seth can have a loose tongue on him and say things he doesn’t necessarily mean, especially when he’s frustrated or irritated. For the future Seth hopes to continue with his writing, aiming to start writing for video games. To do that he’s discussed with his parents that he wants to take a writing course in college and has applied to a few. They support his endeavors. Advantages: Seth's love for his family will be a strong motivation for him to survive. He has close friends that he is loyal to and could team up with. Disadvantages: Seth is overweight and lacks cardio, so he tires easily. He has little patience for those he dislikes or finds less intelligent, which can make it hard for him to avoid conflict.

Hi Inge. Seth is an alright start but is Denied pending a lot of changes and expansion that needs to be done to the profile. In addition to the changes I have pointed out please can you ensure that you carefully reread the whole profile and make sure that capital letters, commas and full-stops are all used correctly as a lot of the changes are things related to the incorrect use of these things. Only the first item in hobbies and interests should be capitalized as it is a list.
Was he wearing his glasses when he was abducted? March is a month and should be capitalized.
What does Seth's father actually do as a job? As if Seth looks up to his father for his work this would be something What illness did his mother beat? What does Seth enjoy about video games? What genres of games does he enjoy the most? Does he have a favorite games? I'd expect a lot more information on this as it's one of his main hobbies.
He should be capitalized here as it comes after a full stop.
This is one long run on sentence that should ideally be broken up into two or three smaller sentences to improve ease of reading. What does Seth actually like about studying history? He clearly doesn't just enjoy it because it is easy as he studies it in his free time so what about the subject interests him? This sentence would be better served going in the same paragraph that covers his Asperger's Syndrome. This sentence is very clunky
Why?
Does Seth have a specific type of fiction he prefers writing? Does he have a genre preference? What does he enjoy about the act of writing? A draft of what? A full novel or just a draft of a short story?
How does Seth plan on achieving his aim of writing for video games? Neither of these are really advantages. He's five foot eleven and only slightly overweight. In fact his height only puts him two inches above the American average for males. So he isn't exactly in the realm of intimidating presences and while he can be loyal that can also be a disadvantage as someone could use this to manipulate him. His loyalty could be an advantage if it if rephrased that he has close friends he could ally with or something similar but you will need to rethink his ability to intimidate people. Once this is all done please post back here and I'll give Seth another look for you! |

Hi Inge! Still a few things that need to be done with Seth's profile before it can be approved. Only the first item in hobbies and interests should be capitalized as it is a list. You seem to have missed this.
He should be capitalized here as it comes after a full stop. - This still hasn't be done. There's still no explanation of what Seth enjoys about history.

Hi Inge. Just one edit needed. Only the first item in hobbies and interests should be capitalized so only the word Video should have a capital letter. Once that is done Seth will be good to go. |
