To strangers, he is this cold, Intimidating man. He doesn't care what others think of him, and is always on guard around strangers. Though it is very different with Task Force 141, for whom he truly cares for.

attire

He wears gloves with skeleton hands painted over at all times. Also wears black face paint on his eyes and sometimes sunglasses over the mask. Alternatively he wears a skulled balaclava and a black hoodie as civilian attire. On missions he wears a thick army coat under a best with a Brittish flag on the arm and army pants.

speech

Ghost is a very pessimistic, straightforward, and sarcastic man. He swears, says what comes up to his mind. He has a thick Manchester accent which slurs his words a lot. He also loves using British slang. He's not very talkative overall.

vices

Ghost is a heavy smoker. When under stress, he can down a whole pack in a few hours. Alcohol is a rarity when it comes to indulgence. Simon doesn’t drink all the time. He’s seen what alcohol does to people—far too many times. But there are long nights when it’s him, the stars gleaming though the window, and a bottle of bourbon that is sipped, smooth and burning as he shuts his eyes and allows himself one moment of respite. Despite that, his eyes are absolutely fucked up. The whites are often red and irritated, and he has teary eyes. Mainly from cigarette smoke and his sleep deprivation. It's often that he stays up all night, unable to sleep.

touch

Simon can absolutely not tolerate physical touch, it brings up far too many painful memories. He's convinced everyone who tries to touch him will hurt him.
