Overall
Name: Spencer Sawyer Gibbs
Code Name: Recorder
Gender:male
Age: 24 years
Birth Date: November 16

Age Looks: 29 years
Appearance:
He often wears a white shirt with a black suit. Although the tie is often missing when he's wearing the suit and his collar is often wrinkled despite it being down. His clothes are clearly cheap, often the jacket has small tears in it and the bottom of his pants at the ankles have small tears in it. In colder weather or when he goes out, he wears a black trench coat with black gloves. A dark grey scarf can be seen around his neck when he's wearing the trench coat.
His work uniform is the classic waiter's outfit.
Personality:
Spencer is normally a good soul, he has manners that are worthy of a English gentleman. He is often seen being respectable and rather calm as well as tolerant. However he does have a breaking point and is able to show his rage when that point is broken. Like they say, always watch out for the quiet ones. When meeting new people, he can be quiet and very distant and distrusting. But with time, he might just come around and if a good enough friendship forms. You've earned a loyal friend.
He can sometimes be a bit....well...kind of cryptic or talking in riddle like rhythm or rhyme. (not sure what to classify it as). He can sometimes get a bit depressed like in normal conversations. Mainly ones that are focused on family of any kind.
Background Info
Family:
Anderson Tillow Gibbs, father; dead.
Madria Beth Valley, mother; dead.
Juliet Trams Gibbs, sister; 25 years but she's been in a coma for seven years.
Background:
Spencer is the second child to Anderson and Madria Gibbs with Juliet as his older sister. His family was just like every other family, they were middle class however they were almost in the poor class due to financial situations. Spencer's mother didn't have a job making her a stay at home mother in their small apartment, his father on the other hand ran a small car wash. His father's car wash wasn't doing very well though, they were hardly getting any customers and the money they made was very small. When Spencer was three years old, his mother started looking for a job. Leaving him alone with his older sister Juliet. Juliet was older than Richard by a single year, unlike some brothers and sisters, Spencer and his sister got along fairly well.
During school, Spencer was normally one for the books and never sports. So it didn't really help him when he got pneumonia at the age of fourteen during winter. By this point, his mother was working full time plus over time at a small restaurant and his father's car wash wasn't doing all that good at the time. The money for medicine was too much for the family to afford but they still tried. While Juliet did small jobs to try and help out, Spencer's father resorted to something he shouldn't have. His father went to a criminal for help and ended up getting enough money to pay for Spencer's medical bills and for the medicine used to treat his pneumonia. However Spencer's health had never fully recovered and he's lived with bad health since, easily getting sick and his father disappeared half a year and a half later. A month later the police found his father dead in a alley in downtown Gotham.
The shocking news drove their mother into a depression and when Spencer was seventeen, she overdosed on her medication and died. Now the two siblings were on their own and since his sister was eighteen, she was legally an adult and her brother's care was up to her. The two were rather close, however his sister quickly fell into the wrong crowd when she was trying to find a job to help pay for the small apartment the two were living in. When Spencer learned of his sister helping out criminals in petty crimes, he tried his best to persuade her to go to the cops. When another year passed, she finally came around to Spencer's pleas. Having contact the police, she started to work with the police to bust them and when the time came things quickly went the wrong way.
The criminals learned about it being a bust and they panicked. Resulting in a gun fight and Juliet ended up shot in the end. Although they managed to get her to the hospital in time, she was sent into a coma. With his sister in the hospital, Spencer has been struggling to make payments to keep his sister on life support, hoping that she would awaken some day. Sadly though, some of the criminals escaped during the bust and when they learned of Spencer and decided to get revenge. Although, they decided it was best to use him instead of killing him, using the thread of killing his sister against him. For now, Spencer tolerates working under the criminals although he's carefully waiting for the proper time to act. He does meet with police officer who is always undercover for their meetings.
Spencer's writing had started after their mother died. He wasn't sure on what to do so he often found himself reading and eventually that wasn't working. So his sister had suggested that he started writing what he felt on paper and perhaps make things different. Starting him on his writing ways, he had hoped that this would be able to help them out. Sadly though he hasn't written anything good let alone a lot of things he has published. Most of what he writes can be found in a small part of the newspaper or a magazine.
