basic appearance, Blake never seems to put too much into his looks, but because of everything else he is into he tends to have a very popular physique with the opposite sex. His basic build is almost all muscle, mostly because he spends a good majority of his free time working out or otherwise making sure he isn’t going to hurt himself while doing all of his sporting activities. Since he does have a very wide variety sports he is also very fortunate in being able to say that no part of his body or fitness component is really forgotten about. With horseback riding comes flexibility and very toned legs, and being male it makes the muscle look like muscle instead of fat. A mixture of basketball and football helps with his arms and he can flat out run for quite some time and distance thanks to well developed heart and lungs. He rarely, if ever, comes up with a physical challenge that he can’t handle or succeed in, which is always a good thing, after all.
His activity level is also a very good thing, for his metabolism is genetically low and he does love to eat, but it is also true that he is almost always hungry for obvious reasons when you allow people to think about it. All in all, everything is kept in check for Blake does have troubles standing still for long periods of time. If he wasn’t so athletic his tendency to not care what he looks like would probably lead him to not being nearly as attractive as he is, which he doesn’t like, since his looks obviously help him get the woman he loves to have following him around.
Blake’s hair is basically messy a lot of the time. It’s naturally dark brown, but staying outside so often it bleaches it to an even lighter color, which he doesn’t really like but there’s little he can do about it unless he wants to dye his hair and he has too much of a masculine sense about him to do something as feminine as to dye his hair any color at all. He usually calls running his hands through it in the morning and allowing it to settle. Sure, there are times when he does a little more with it and it is at that length where it looks good spiked, but that only happens when his female friends decide it would be fun to watch him suffer. It is usually kept short to keep it away from his eyes while playing sport, but it does go between a buzz cut to something quite a bit longer. Blake tends to keep a bit of stubble upon his face, simply because he is too lazy to shave it off everyday.
Blake has grayish eyes, too dull to be considered blue. These eyes, though, don’t exactly see as well as they should, in fact, they’re down right awful, but no one knows that. Blake almost always has twenty-four hour contacts in to counteract the fact that his sight is horrible. Only people close to him know this, mostly because he doesn’t think it’s an important thing to know. His eyes are definitely something that catches people’s attention, but he is also good at making people fall into them. He is good at pretending he’s listening, but his eyes also, sadly, show all of his emotions so it isn’t hard to tell what he is thinking, which he hates but it is something else he has to live with.
All in all, Blake isn’t bad looking at all, if he can say so himself, but his personality makes it so he simply doesn’t care either, as long as he gets what he wants. He doesn’t try to hide his flaws, even though he is human and has them. He often looks tired, is limping or otherwise favoring a limb and is quite covered in scars. Being the sporty person he is it’s hard not to come out of life without some bad scars, after all. He often tends to be dirty because people see him when he is working or right afterwards before he has a chance to shower, but if they can’t live with that he doesn’t see why they matter at all. So, in the end, Blake is basically okay with the way he looks and will never go out of his way to change it.

overall personality , Blake obviously has a very rough exterior for the people who just meet him. For the people he calls his friends he has to keep up a tough personality that over time has become completely natural. He’s not exactly scared to talk about someone behind their back and if it helps him get to the top he’s actually okay with that. Though it may not seem like it, he does have a general dislike for cliques of any kind. When it comes down to it, he doesn’t often get along with most other people labeled ‘jocks’ just because it’s hard to put a lot of egotistical guys together in the same room it doesn’t often turn out exactly well. Nonetheless, he does hang out with the people he plays sports with and lives with it because he actually doesn’t know of anyone else who would put up with him. In the end he’s happy with the arrangements so far.
As it may be easy to tell, Blake has a simple rule of life and that’s not to stress the small stuff, and has a general thought that most things are small. Sure, it doesn’t always seem like that when he misses a goal or basket, but all in all when life throws him shit he’s quick to turn around and not think about it again. He has realized over the last few years of his life where he runs ahead of him and leaves him behind he just realized that it’s not the end of the world if you’re running late or not quite ready for a test. Life goes on and you will wake up the next morning and it will be a new day. Life won’t be your perfect fairy tale, but taking to heart every bad thing that could happen will just make it all the worse.
Blake doesn’t always seem like a nice guy, but that isn’t for any other reason than he doesn’t know how else to compose himself. He knows what he wants and usually doesn’t talk and give an opinion unless he knows he is right so when people disagree with him it is actually quite annoying for him. Usually people will go look it up only to prove him right, but luckily he doesn’t rub it in people’s faces. Blake is a smart guy and it shows even though his grades aren’t the best. He simply doesn’t have time to do homework and to study and is often caught sleeping in class because of his busy schedule and how he finds time to sleep he’s not quite sure. Nonetheless, he has a high IQ he has a strong sense of reason and is quite good at using it.
When it comes to girls Blake doesn’t exactly know what he wants, but he will also be the last one to admit that. For now he’s quite happy being alone except for a few, ok, that’s a lie, a lot of one night stands with random girls, as long as they are quite hot of course. Secretly, though, he would like to have a steady, long term relationship, which is something he has never really had. Being so busy it just never really worked out after the first month or so. For now he hasn’t found anyone who he will willingly make time for so he’s just going to live how he had before, it has worked so far.
He is quite obviously a very hard worker for the things he cares about. His horses are always in top form as is he because of his love for sports. No one can ever deny that he works very hard, especially when it comes to horses, but that also doesn’t mean that he can get anything to perfect. Like anyone else he can make mistakes and work too hard or not hard enough or not on the right things. He makes mistakes like any human being but he doesn’t like to admit it. Yeah, it gets a little annoying, but it’s just one of those charming qualities of his, you could say.
Inwardly, Blake is a lot kinder of a person than he makes out to be. He really does care about the people around him, or at least his friends, and he doesn’t want them hurt. This side of him is pulled out only by his true friends and everyone who sees it really like it, unlike the other side which can be almost jerk-like. His real self is something that if he did show more often he could have a lot of friends, but he’s doing okay with what he’s doing now and it’s human nature to dislike change.
Something that Blake tries to hide is the fact that his self esteem really isn’t all that high. Sure, he knows he’s hot but he also doesn’t think he’s worth anything when it comes to an actual relationship so sticks to one night stands. He knows he’s good at the sports he plays but he is conscious that there is someone better out there and since he plans to be a professional rider that isn’t good. If someone is better than he is than he is then they’ll get the job instead of him. However, he generally doesn’t let this self doubt show. There’s no way he’d get the job or the girl if he let on that he doubted his abilities, now would there?

history , Eliot Taurus always wanted a son so when his beautiful wife gave birth to a little baby boy he was thrilled. The two named the child Blake and the child lived a happy life for years, even though his parents were never home. Both his mother and his father would in criminal law enforcement and it wasn’t rare for Blake to spend a three days straight with his grandparents. This, though, wasn’t so bad. Clinton, Blake’s grandfather, taught him the job of sports from a very young age, just as he did Eliot. As soon as he was old enough, when he was in kindergarten, Blake started playing soccer and simply fell in love with how fast paced the sport was. It wasn’t long before he flat out refused to miss any practices.
When he was in elementary school his parents found him junior leagues for soccer, so he could play with other kids as into the sport as he was, basketball and football, all of which he really enjoyed at this age, but before this he got an older pony named Harry, his parents being interested in him learning how to be an eventer as well. He was a quick learner when it came to horses and he was jumping in less than a year, meaning he quickly grew out of Harry, who was sold and a new pony was given him, but like Harry before him this gelding was outgrown quickly and a new horse had to be gotten, and so the pattern went on for years, but it never really bothered Blake. For the longest time he was just taught a horse was a tool to make it so you won, which he did a lot of mind you.
Through elementary school the still very young child was already very busy. Soccer, basketball and football twice a week for practice, if the season called for it a game or two as well and always being out at the stable to train his horses and showing those sometimes during the weekends. It was a tough life, and over time Blake stopped enjoying it so much. He wanted to quit football and possibly even go down a league in basketball, but his parents wouldn’t allow that. He was expected to be the best at every sport he played and that meant that he was supposed to play quite a few sports as well, at least one for every season when he got into high school, which happened a lot faster than anyone expected it to. The problem, by this time the only thing Blake really wanted to do was event (with a little soccer on the side) but there was no way his parents would allow that.
As Blake got into high school he made varsity in every team he tried out for, which is saying a hell of a lot for a freshman. Many of the upper classman disliked him because they were all convinced he took their spot on the team, but over time they realized that he was just good and could really help out the sports teams of the school the four years he was there. Though he was obviously very good at sports, academics were difficult for him. No, that wasn’t because he wasn’t a smart person, in fact, he was a very smart person with a higher than average IQ, but he has no time to study or do homework so it happened to be really difficult for him to keep up his grades, as it still is of course. It does tend to be quite difficult for him to fit a life around everything he has to do. Even before one season ends he’s in pre-seasoning conditioning for another season and his horses always keep him running around taking care of them and keeping them ready for the main show season in the summer.
Speaking of his horses, Blake was doing very well at this point. Over time his parents stopped buying him horses and were leasing them instead and in a certain amount of time people were actually paying him to ride horses for him. He made some money off this, but most of it was from having him teach lessons to beginning riders. After some time he was riding the stallion Tyson and after he retired from the advanced shows Blake’s parents bought the stallion, partially for Blake but mostly to get the money they would make off breeding the stallion, which has made them a pretty penny indeed.
As you can probably tell, Blake’s life has been pretty normal though everything, or at least nothing to extreme. Sure, he s just about as busy as a human can get without losing their mind but nothing was too weird, especially when he got into high school. Nothing was really out of the ordinary. Blake was just your average popular jock from the very beginning of his schooling and always hung out with people older than he himself was because everyone on his teams were older. It did get hard to watch his friends all leave year after year, but he always quickly made new friends and it was all okay by the end of it.
Girls were pretty basic for him as well. Being the sports star he was it was only natural that the cheerleaders were the ones he got a lot of, and for the first two or so years of high school it was only girls as well. His virginity was lost very early, at the beginning of his freshman year to a varsity cheerleader at an unsupervised football party. After this drunken night he only rarely talked to the girl again, not for any real reason but she was embarrassed that she had sex with a freshman. After that, though, it would probably be fair to say he was a bit of a player throughout his high school years, even though he was always quite kind to the girls. He tried to have a few girlfriends but he ended up neglecting them or cheating on them in the end because he was so busy and he didn’t care enough about any of them.
Now, Blake is going to college and playing on all the teams with that as well, though he did have to quit soccer in order to play football because the seasons were at the same time and he had a larger scholarship on football because, well, this is America after all. He continues to event his horses and train, but as his last year approaches he knows that horses are the only thing he wants to stick with throughout his life. His father would like him to go and become a lawyer, but he knows that’s not going to happen.
All in all, life is just life for Blake. He lives it and he tries to love it despite the fact he has no actual time to himself. His plans at the moment don’t include his aspirations but he has to make a life of himself before he plans on too much. You have to get though school before you worry about too much else, don’t you? For now that’s all Blake it really worried about.
