Dwain

A Dwain is a unique individual. Known to be quite eccentric at times. He is also quite friendly once "he" gets to know "you". Once you are claimed as his friend you will have a friend for life. He is loving, loyal, patient, kind, understanding and always there to help (even if he is cursing under his breath). Dwain's also have a unique Hep Cat sorte of style.

Wow man, love that outfit. It's so Dwain!

Dwain

A chill dude. Very strange and mysterious. You never know what he's going to say or how he's going to react, it's always a surprise. He's confident in a way that would normally bother people but suits him well.

"Don't be sad, I'm right here."
"You're such a Dwain."

"I know, I know. It's okay."
