Appearance|| Barry is hard to miss in a crowd. Firstly, he stands at 6'2" and almost always wears sunglasses to protect his eyes, which are startling light blue. His hair is dirty blonde and is a bit shaggier than he would like, but hey it is a miracle he can even shave without cutting himself.
Health Issues|| Well the first obvious thing is the fact that Barry is blind. He can't see a damned thing. There is also the possibility he could be carrying an STD but he does try to keep up with getting himself tested so. He also is a recovering addict, from his good ole days but he hasn't touched drugs since his accident.
Personality|| Barry is a very easy-going, laid-back kind of guy. It takes a lot of abuse to get him angry. Odds are, if you have had any chance of interacting with you, he will have made a pass at you. He is lovable in his own way, though most people know to stay a good distance away from him. He leaves a trail of broken hearts and baby mommas.
Likes|| Sex, flirting, coffee, alcohol, strawberries, the sound of emergency sirens, pain, sun and summer
Dislikes|| Paying child support, stuffed animals, the 12 step program, tending to his wounds, snow and winter
Clothing Style|| Barry pretty much wears whatever he wants, and usually he looks damned hot in it. His signature look does include sunglasses, however. He also tends to wear button-up shirts cause they are a classic.
Music Taste|| Barry is very into the 2000's Pop scene. His band was a part of that genre and the music still brings back bittersweet memories of the good ole days.
Home|| Barry lives in a modest one bedroom uptown apartment alone. He hates his landlord and the price of the rent but you can't beat the location.
Family Members||
- Magnus Worcester|| Father (59), a Youth Pastor. The only contact Barry has with his father is whenever he gets the monthly 'praying for you' email.
- Beverly Worcester|| Mother (54), a Florist. His mother tries to keep in touch but life happens.
- Marty Worcestor|| Brother (37), an Auto Mechanic. Marty likes to pretend Barry doesn't exist.
- Julie Franks|| Daughter (16), estranged. She was conceived after a one night stand but Barry has never met her.
- Vincent Hathaway|| Son (14), estranged. Vincent was born to the only girlfriend Barry actually had.
- Logan Sampson|| Son (9), estranged. Logan is the third kid Barry actually knows about.
- Kravitz|| German Shepherd (6), Seeing Eye Dog. Ain't he adorable?
Social Life|| Barry has several different reputations about him. First and foremost people will sometimes look at him and whisper about him being from 'that band'. His co-workers are often annoyed or the like by his constant passes at them (this may or may not have landed him in HR a few times). and His students love to go to his class. There are also rumors that circle around about his promiscuous bedroom escapades with anyone and everyone.
Possessions||
- His keyboard. He hasn't touched the thing since the accident and the band broke up.
- A record Player. He found it at a junkyard when he was a teen.
- Various Sober Buttons. He has collected the milestones slowly over the years.
Jean Audet|| his boss. Barry will forever be grateful that the older gentleman offered him the job. In all honesty it might've saved Barry's life. He knows Jean likes to keep a close eye on Barry's activities, but Barry is clever enough to hide most of his relations. He knows his boss isn't dumb, though, and doesn't break his rules too often.
Johnathan Hall|| sort of friend. Barry met John through West. He knows that John often feels like he is babysitting West and Barry more often than not. There have been a few times where Barry has shown up to John's house (usually around dinner time) on the heels of West. Barry thinks John is a pretty cool guy and though he might like to hit that if he could, he doesn't want to risk losing a solid friendship.
Maxine Rossi|| fuckbuddy. He met her when she was a student of his. At first they had the standard student-teacher relationship but then it became something a little more. She wasn't the first student he had slept with but she was certainly the first one he liked to bed repeatedly. They were really good at keeping their relationship a secret and in the fall it will mark 3 years since they started sleeping together. It wasn't until recently however that Maxine was interested in hooking up more often, after her loss of Chad as a sexual partner. Barry more than willingly took that position.
Nurse Oak|| his condom supplier. Well, that is her main title to him anyways. He is also almost always in her office in order to get tested, since he trusts her to be discreet. He knows that she is often annoyed when he shows his face in her office, and he doesn't blame her. Interestingly enough, she is perhaps the only person he works with that he hasn't made a pass at. Mostly because he wants to preserve the 'free condoms' relationship they have.
Susan Summers|| hot momma! Or rather, what he can tell anyways. He would love to get into her pants if he could. She seems like someone who needs a good ride and Barry would more than willingly supply that for her. He is a little hesitant, though, because he has a feeling Susan would only be down for a romp in the sack if he was ready to commit. But Barry is not about commitment.
Westley Coxx|| pal and wingman. He and Westley share similar appetites. Though he and West aren't attracted to each other they do find that they are each other's best wingman. If they pair up at a bar both of them are almost guaranteed to go home with someone. Barry often enjoys sitting in West's office, discussing their latest conquests and sparing no details.
In the midwest during the fall of 1983 a young Christian couple welcomed their second son into the world. Barry Caleb Worcestor was an energetic child, always running around. His parents thought at first maybe he had ADHD and was put on medication. However this only made the child somber and he moved around like a zombie. Promptly he was taken off the medication and the Worcestors sought for better ways to deal with their energetic son.
Magnus, being a youth pastor, was always trying out new songs to bring to youth group. He would play the songs on the piano in the basement. When Barry was six years old he followed his father down to the basement and began to play beside him, mimicking the movement of his father's fingers. He was a natural musician. Magnus invested in piano lessons and Barry was recruited by their church to play for Sunday morning services.
It sufficed for several years but Barry grew restless, playing the same stuff year after year, week after week. And that was when he and his friends from school realized they could make their own music. They formed their own little band and after writing enough song to make a set, they performed at a local music festival.
Not a few months later an agent came to them about getting them contracted. Within the year they were on tour and were enjoying the perks that fame brought. Barry was hardly home, instead spending his nights at parties and crashing in other people's beds. Life was so different for the then fifteen year old. His whole life he had been sheltered and now here he was living the life of a pop star. He was boozing, he was snorting, he was just having the time of his life!
In a strange turn of events, at an after-show party, Barry lost his virginity to a couple of fans. At the same time. It wasn't like he remembered it at all, he was much too drunk and high to be even coherent. But he did know that he had enjoyed the sensation. From that moment on he was always hooking up with someone.
Then, when he was seventeen he got a letter stating that he was needed for a paternity test. It turned out that one of his many one-night stands had become pregnant. He rushed to the hospital to get the test done, hitting on the nurse as she took his blood. Her name was Sylvie Hathaway, and she seemed to not mind that he was in there for a paternity test. If anything she was attracted to the fact a pop star was sitting on her exam table. Well, naturally Barry was sure to get her number.
The test came back positive, he was a baby daddy. But Barry was determined to not have anything to do with his daughter. He paid the child support, of course, because he is not completely heartless. For about a year or two after, Barry actually attempted a relationship with Sylvie. Things were turbulent between them, though. Sylvie was trying to keep him in line and all Barry wanted was to get drunk and high. Then their relationship came to an end when Sylvie found Barry in bed with a couple of fans.
Barry was actually glad to be free, and he was able to pursue his habits without someone looking over his shoulder. But then he got another letter, saying he had to complete a paternity test for Sylvie's baby. And surprise surprise, the baby was his! Barry was now the baby daddy to two women. He used that fact as an excuse to get a bit more adventurous with his drug-enhanced highs.
When he was twenty-four he got the third letter he would get about completing a paternity test. After discovering it was positive Barry dragged the rest of the band to a party where he did four lines of cocaine, drank five shots of who knows what, and banged anyone he could get into bed. He didn't want to think at all about his responsibilities.
Barry faintly remembers getting into the car with the other band members. He does recall getting behind the wheel and driving off, more than likely speeding. However the accident is completely a loss. According to the police report Barry swerved into oncoming traffic and hit another car head-on. The other driver was killed instantly, and all his band mates were severely injured. Barry himself was not wearing a seat belt and his head went through the windshield. The doctors confirmed the next day at the hospital that Barry's head injury had caused him to completely lose his sight.
The courts ordered him to go to a rehabilitation center, and pay the other driver's family restitution. Barry was a mess. He had killed a teenaged girl, whom had so much ahead of her life. Rehab was a nightmare, and Barry suffered nightmares about the accident almost nightly. It wasn't until he started going to Addicts Anonymous that he even started to find some peace. being around others who went through what he had was a comforting feeling. He started to feel like himself again.
The band had broken up in the wake of the accident so Barry needed to find a job. He hadn't given any thought to his education while famous, but he figured he could find something. He was wrong. No one wanted to hire a blind, ex-addict, teen girl-killing former pop star. People were concerned about the reputation of their businesses. And he refused to go back to his hometown, where all those bible-thumping hypocrites would judge him.
Then as if by some miracle a man by the name of Jean Audet contacted Barry about possibly teaching a music class at some academy called Metric. Barry wasn't too sure at first, because he had never taught anything before. But he hesitantly agreed and prepare to move to his new life. He acquired a seeing-eye dog, that he named Kravitz, and packed what few belongings he saw as salvageable.
The first few weeks were rocky but eventually he got into the groove of teaching. And the interesting thing was, Barry was good at it. His students adored him! Barry was able to feel more confident in himself and was finally able to shake the feelings of guilt over the accident. Well, for the most part anyways.
He even god his libido back! The old Barry (well the good parts that is) were back! He is forever grateful for getting this job. He owes his life to Jean Audet. Who knew what could've happened if the headmaster hadn't offered him the job?
