-- PERSONALITY !

-- GENIUS: when people say they’re genius’s they usually are just incredible idiots who think they’re smart or they use it to say they’re intelligent and look like a genius cause there are so many reality star esc personalities in the world. Reid however is actually by definition a genius with an IQ of one hundred and eighty seven. He had three doctorates and a slew of BA’s under his belt all at the age of twenty three. He’s now twenty six and working on another BA since going for another doctorate seems a bit greedy at this point. Anyway yeah, he’s very intelligent and uses it to his advantage in most aspects of his life. he also has an eidetic memory that applies mostly to things he has seen or read.

-- AWKWARD: it was once said not to wish you’re a genius, it’s a lonely life. Reid is really no exception, you know those pivotal year of school were most people learn to talk to each other and how to ask girls to the prom, etc. Reid was seven, during those years, yeah. Needless to say a seven year old in high school wasn’t really thinking about prom or even girls. Most f his everyday interactions with people are slightly awkward, he doesn’t really know how to “chit chat” with people, so he often looks confused by peoples interactions. He can interact with people quite normally at times, but doesn’t have the skills that some guys have. His coworker have joked that he’s a sexual because he’s never been on an actual date before.

-- SUPER SWEET: Reid is the kind of guy that’s a sweet as a puppy. He would never say anything mean to anyone on purpose, sometimes he doesn’t realize subjects are sensitive and may upset people on accident, but once he realizes he’s done so he’ll promptly apologize and never mention the subject again, unless they want to talk about. He’s often asking people if they need to talk about something, since he notices if people are upset a lot quicker than most would. Sometimes it doesn’t take an observant person to see it, but he’s often the type to ask rather than just walk by.

-- QUIRKILY HILARIOUS: ninety percent of the time that Reid’s funny is when he’d not actually meaning to be. Just little things he does or his incredible knowledge in some aspects of life and incredible lack of it in what most consider common knowledge. However he has the potential to be a total goofball, but often feels too uncomfortable to show that side of himself. Drinking often brings out that side of him, but he doesn’t like to drink much. Most find it hilarious that he hasn’t ever been on a swing set before.

-- LOVES: magic, chemistry, psychology, reading, bowling, physics, statistics, his job, learning, drawing, spinning in chairs, thunderstorms
-- HATES: obviously murders, people who break major laws in general, mean people, general stupidity, when people say things he doesn’t understand and then don’t explain it to him, the dark, his social awkwardness, headaches, mental illness, parking meters, people constantly asking if he’s old enough to do his job.

-- HISTORY !

Reid Harris Gannon was born on December sixth in Las Vegas Nevada to Alexandra and Harris Gannon. Nothing seemed unusual or special about the seven pound baby boy other than the fact that he was a bit smaller than they’d like. As Reid got older though it became apparent there was something special about the young boy he picked up reading extremely quickly and could read with a startling speed. He read often and absorbed information like a sponge. By the time he was seven he tested into High school grade Math, English and his reading scores were off the charts. He attended a public high school and unfortunately didn’t run into any other seven year olds there and was essentially like the biggest nerd in school, so much so the nerds picked on him.

Most would say that was the young genius’s biggest challenge, but he had a secret that no one knew about. Reid mother Alexandra was a paranoid schizophrenic and often had paranoid delusions, even with medication she’d still have episodes, but her husband knew she needed to take them or else it’d be worse. Reid spent little time with his parents, his father was often too busy with work and his mother was often quite literally in her own little world. When Reid was eight his father left the both of them with very little explanation other than he couldn’t take Alexandra’s illness anymore, that she wasn’t the woman he married. Though Reid could never understand why that meant he couldn’t see him anymore.

Reid began college when he was twelve he graduated summa cum laude four years later from MIT and went for his doctorate in Psychology, Mathematics and Engineering and a BA in Chemistry, Sociology all by the age of twenty three. During his years in college Reid was forced to put his mother into a psychiatric facility, because she suffered a severe mental break after going off her meds. Presently Reid is living in Capeside Maine, he works part time as a profiler with the Behavior Analysis Unit (BAU) for the FBI, he often travels, but is recently just working with local authorities solve their cases, due to his headaches that he’s had recently which can be debilitating. He’s currently working toward a BA Physiology and terrified that he’s going to develop schizophrenia since it’s genetic. He also now a proud papa of a puppy that was given to him after a case that involved a breeder.
