Personality:
Uriah will probably be one of the most laid-back, carless people you will ever meet.
While many people would regard these as positive traits, they can sometimes make Uriah seem arrogant and unkind, like he doesn't care about anyone else but himself. However, that is not how he intends to be perceived, in fact Uriah is quite a kind and open person, he doesn't keep secrets from people because honestly, he doesn't know how. Being truthful is in his nature although, there's a certain point where you cross the line from truthfulness to bluntness an unfortunately for Uriah that tends to be the case more often than not. Uriah doesn't do it intentionally to be spiteful but he just doesn't seem to have a filter - He sees it as, if you ask him a question, he's going to tell you what he honestly thinks; what's the point in sugarcoating?
Although Uriah's lack of filter doesn't seem to have lost him any friends, in fact it's quite the opposite seeing as basically everyone at the school are two-faced liars. Whilst he's certainly not at the top of the social ladder, Uriah's definitely popular amongst his clique as well as a quite a few of the other 'middle of the ladder' cliques. Uriah's flirtatious and outgoing attitude also make him fairly good with the ladies, he certainly knows how to charm anyone and is often seen attempting to chat up a girl {and usually succeeding}. Uriah's also pretty fickle, one minute he likes one girl, the next he's flirting with someone else - It could be to do with the fact he never really had anyone constant in his childhood and so he doesn't really know how to be in an actual relationship.
Sometimes Uriah's simple carelessness can be replaced with utter recklessness and he ends up getting himself into incredibly dangerous situations, and he loves it. Uriah usually is cool with just going with the flow but when he feels that adrenaline rush coming on, his mindset just switches and he becomes this adrenaline loving daredevil. Sure, Uriah will admit that the things he does are bad and yeah, maybe he's broken a few ribs doing some crazy stunts but he truly believes it's worth it.
