easy to describe as a relatively chill, laid back guy. hakim isn't easy to rile up, and prefers to find a peaceful out to the vast majority of conflicts. he doesn't like to argue, due to both his docile nature and lack of social skills. considering the fact he's a professor, his deficincy in them is almost hilarious.

he comes across as very shy upon first meeting, a different figure than the one you may meet in his classroom. doing his job, he's studious. it's clear he cares about both his work and his students, wants them to succeed and wants them to have a genuine interest in the subject at hand. sign language specifically is of great importance to him, something he wants to pass onto othersso they may continue that cycle. outside of that, he's quite the bashful man.

he can struggle to hold conversations, and often falters from maintaining eye contact. social cues can go right over his head at times, mainly non - verbal expressions that don't give an outright answer about how you may be feeling. he's prone to bouts of silence in response, and holds out on replying when the right words just won't come to him. while this can easily paint him as rude, he almost never means harm.

on the other end of the personality spectrum, he's a bit of a scrouge. with money, anyway. frugal, is probably a better word. he doesn't like to spend big, and will fret over making purchases where he can't use a discount code or something similar. he coupons like there's no tomorrow, willing to hold up a groccery line for the sake of his bank account. can you blame him? saving thirty cents on those vegetables adds up over time, he claims.

seeing how often he cooks, this is probably genuine. he's practically addicted to the craft, only member in his household who's capable of making a meal that isn't some boring bowl of oatmeal. he aims to pass the skill on to his children, seeing how he holds a passion for it. it's a lifeskill that he believes to be essential to them, wants the duo to be able to function away from the nest one day.

ultimately, a sweetheart is what you could call hakim. he's soft on both the outside and inside, quiet, though emotional. he's a loving individual, cares deeply enough for his family to the point he'd be willing to throw his life away if it meant keeping the lot of them safe. the same sense of kindness is bestowed to his friends, and even strangers on the street, someone who simply looks to see those around him thrive as he has as of late. he's a good man.
