The man i described yesterday is a very shy person.  He has many friends but few close ones.  He's been hurt many times in the past, so trust is a huge issue with him.  He always carries his MP3 player because he finds peace in music.  Music can create all sorts of emotions in a person.  The bracelet that he wears was given to him by a friend that he fell in love with.  This person disappeared during the massive war that went on in the city a few years back.  He keeps it on as a reminder of a person that gave him a chance.   Even in the times where the city is in a state of chaos, he doesn't carry weapons because he doesn't believe that violence is always the answer.  He relies on his wits to get him through most situations.  He isn't opposed to picking up a weapon if his life is in danger, but only as a lasts resort.
