I need someone to demolish him
be nitpicky
be extra
literally don't hold back

Appearance: You say mesomorph. What shape is his figure though? Is he muscular (which I think is included in mesomorph, but how muscular, I guess)? Does he carry more weight in any particular part of his body?
Nature: First of all, the mannerisms you put down were some of the best descriptors I've seen in that section from anyone on this site, so well done on that. My only critique here would be personality type. It could always use a little more. From that, I can definitely see what's on the surface, but it would be nice to have more, especially in more positive qualities.
Social: Is he atheist or agnostic? And he is a freelancer in what? Art? Writing? Something else?
History: Did he ever go to school? You can include IQ, but education is more "how much school did the character have?"
Health: Does he have PTSD symptoms at all, and if so, what are they?

Overall, everything looks really good, and I mean it. I couldn't find a whole lot to nitpick.

aH thank you so much he really needed a critique I've put him up for a lot of critiques but none were as helpful as yours so much thanks haha

No problem! Glad I could help!

Alright so he seems like a pretty solid character. But it says he's "exceptional at almost anything". What is he not good at? Has this caused problems for him and how? Obviously he's not good at emotional stuff but being good at everything seems kinda op. Other than that he seems like an awesome character!

Thank you this is also v helpful! I'm glad to have someone else look at him for once.

"Jack of all trades, master of none," is the saying, so it's okay to be sort of good at everything, as long as he's not exceptional at anything. It's a character archetype I happen to like a lot lol.

You asked for it but be warned.
He has a very interesting backstory, but isn't really interesting himself. He seems to have no purpose of living. I'm not an amazing character maker myself, but I know that if his motivation is himself, unless he has some sort of goal, he can't really have a purpose.
Great backstory though! I would totally want to see how this character develops!

Thank you very much! Also don't worry, I realllyy needed a more thorough critique so I warned myself, haha

Also @Becfromthedead , that's actually essentially what I was going for but I suppose I used exceptional in the wrong context, haha.
