He’s exactly six foot, six and a half inches tall, and around two hundred and thirty-five pounds in weights. He takes care of his body, and exercises every morning, and afternoon with the result easy to see. He has thick, dark, reddish brown hair that goes down to his shoulder, curling at the ends slightly. His skin is slightly pale despite the time he spends outside. His eyes are a silvery blue, and very soft and easy to look at. Due to an obsession with dental hygiene, his teeth are particularly white, perfectly straight from braces, and never have anything stuck in between them. When at his apartment, the man is shirtless as often as he can be, claiming that if everyone were as fit as he, they’d go shirtless too. For pants, he wears felt pajama pants around the house, unless he’s in his own room, then… who wears pants in their own room? Outside of the apartment, he wears expensive jeans, and collared, well fitted polo shirts. His shoes… that is where he [i]really[/i] begins to care. He owns six different pairs of expensive Air Jordans and other Nike brand shoes, and takes meticulous care of them. His ‘uniform’ for work consists of a plain white t-shirt, a few tough pairs of Dickies work pants, and a pair of worn out high quality work boots.[/indent][center][h1][color=#ed0000][u]M Y Q U I R K S[/u][/color][/h1][/center] [color=#ed0000][b][u]Habits | Quirks | Oddities[/u][/b][/color] [indent][list][*]Has one black, one white lace on each show [*]Discards chocolate or ice cream the second he realizes it has began to melt [*]Flosses after every time he eats [*]Always carries a pack of Trident Tropical Twist [*]Spends hours every Saturday morning making a new workout mix [*]Keeps a blog/journal that he updates weekly every Sunday, which he has done for a decade now[/list][/indent] [color=#ed0000][b][u]Hobbies:[/u][/b][/color] [indent][list][*]Exercise [*]Enjoying music [*]Smoking [*]Video games(Call of Duty, Madden, Fifa, Disney Infinity, Roller Coaster Tycoon 2, Guitar Hero and Pokémon) [*]Movies[/list][/indent] [color=#ed0000][b][u]Likes:[/u][/b][/color] [indent][list][*]Musical tastes: Hip-hop, rap, rock, heavy metal, wubstep, classical [*]Blondes, redheads, raven haired women [*]Ass man [*]Lifting weights, particularly the feeling after beating his own lifting records(345 max on bench at time of writing) [*]Winning and boasting about his own accomplishments [*]Candies [*]Adventure and thrill [*]Travel [*]Exploration [*]Telling stories [*]Fluffy things [*]Professional wrestling [*]Moe animes [*]Partying[/list][/indent] [color=#ed0000][b][u]Dislikes:[/u][/b][/color] [indent][list][*]His sister [*]Failing and being told he will fail [*]Sour things [*]Movies filled with jump scares [*]Country music [*]His parents[/list][/indent] [color=#ed0000][b][u]Fears:[/u][/b][/color] [indent][list][*]Drowning [*]Being in -62F temperatures [*]Death of any kind [*]Electrocution [*]Open waters[/list][/indent] [color=#ed0000][b][u]Personality:[/u][/b][/color] [center][u]♦ Dedicated ♦ Aggressive ♦ Adaptable ♦ Vain ♦ Caring ♦ Competitive[/u][/center] [indent]Bryant has a complex where he has to be the best at simply everything that he does. Failure has never been seen as an option by him, it was always either succeed or die trying. Failures are torturous to remember, and he does his best to forget them all. A bit of a womanizer, he spends every Friday and Saturday night trying to bed a new woman. He’s never had real relationship, and to a certain extent, he fears the commitment that comes with it. He’s competitive and fuels this with sports: College football(almost a full scholarship from it), Ultimate frisbee on his off days, track, and weightlifting on the side. Though only officially on a team for football, he keeps track of his own records for track and weightlifting, constantly trying to beat his own records and comparing himself to the past records of famous runners and lifters. This also translates to his hobby of video games, which he takes far too seriously, and whenever he loses repeatedly, he’s known to [i]freak[/i] out, in almost destructive fits of rage. There have been many a smashed controller and at least one shattered glass desk in his lifetime. Though not stupid, he has struggled in mathematics and a few of the finer scientific classes. He tries to keep his grades above average in those classes, and it’s the only section of his life that he’ll accept being a ‘B- player’ in. Still, it frustrates him to no end when tests are returned with scores like 70% and 69%. If a person goes through his blog, they can find many entries about his anger with math and science. When he eventually took a class about architecture, he finally found a section of math that clicked with him, and he decided then and there that he would pursue it, if only to prove to whatever part of the world that had decided he would be poor at math that he could still use it to support himself. His backup option is the NFL, which he thinks he may get drafted to out of college, after all he’s the star player of his team and the captain. The sport and his studies are his two priorities, with the pursuit of women coming in a close second, the third is taking care of the people around him. Though he has few off days, he likes to spend them traveling, hiking, mountain biking and enjoying the local scenery and lovely weather. He frequents a few parks in particular, where he has made a name for himself playing Ultimate Frisbee. He’s decently charismatic, and a fun guy to be around. He’ll make jokes, and tell stories aobut his life(sometimes exaggerated for comedic effect), but he gets antsy if he isn’t the center of attention. Connor is not close to his family, in fact, he almost hates them. He’ll happily tell his friends that the only benefit his parents have ever given is the way they try to buy his love. The older brother by a year, his sister was the star child, despite his success in academics and sports, it was always about her. This frustrated him, and he grew angrier and angrier that even though his best was far above average, it would never prove to be good enough for his parents. No matter what he did, they always told him that they expected more. A single B on a report card? They wanted nothing but A’s. Second place in the state championships? Why couldn’t their son bring home the gold? Tantrums were frequent when he was younger as a result of constantly letting down his parents. He’s obsessed with himself, but not his own self-worth and esteem. Instead, he cares about the image other people have him. This is a result of his parent’s treatment of him throughout his childhood. This has lead him to often put other people in front of himself, doing what he can to make people think he’s an amazing guy, and one worth having in their lives. He has trouble saying ‘No,’ as a result of this. The only time he finds himself able to deny someone is when their needs conflict with his two main priorities.[/indent][hr][center][h1][color=#ed0000][u]D E F I N I N G M Y P A S T[/u][/color][/h1][/center] [color=#ed0000][b][u]History:[/u][/b][/color] [indent]A native of New York, Bryan was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. His father is a lawyer, and his mother a paralegal, which was how they met. Throughout his entire life, up until age ten, he was raised by a nanny, with both of his parents working full time still. At six years of age, his sister was born. It seemed that she was all her parents had ever wanted, and they channeled all their love to the girl, spoiling her even more than they did him. His parents still made it to parent-teacher conferences, though they made the discussions about themselves, and did everything they could to make school harder on the boy. He was required to bring back weekly progress reports, and was yelled at if they weren’t sufficient. He grew close to the nanny, and as a punishment for failing to get a perfect grade on an assignment, they fired her, when Bryan was twelve and his sister six. They told other people in their life that the nanny was let go because his mother had decided to step in to raise their children. Bryan grew less and less fond of his sister as he grew up, and by the time she was ten, she knew the game: she could go poorly in school and their parents would still love her, but if he faltered, they would make it no secret how disappointed in him they were. It was around this time that he began to suspect they were narcissistic. Despite claiming that they were nothing more than completely disappointed in him, they still showed Bryan off to their friends, bragging about his academic and, as he broke multiple local and then state level records in football and basketball, athletic achievements as if they had accomplished them themselves. Popular and wealthy, in highschool he slept with each member of the cheerleading squad(and some of them multiple times in groups), though he didn’t keep a girlfriend and slowly went through, leaving a wake of heartbreak behind him. At age 18, he left town and moved across the country to go to college, finding an apartment with the endless funds of his parents rocketing him along the road of comfort. He happily and generously paid for tons of additions to the apartment, including the titanic television, the wall mount that keeps it on the wall, the large library of video games hooked up to it, and the home theatre surround system setup, and the Netflix account(though he also has a PC attached to the TV with a variety of movies, moe animes, and TV shows obtained through less legitimate means). After four years there, his mind has been made up: he’ll never go back to his family unless he absolutely needs to. His parents have assured him that no matter what, so long as his grades remain the same and they can continue to happily speak of him to their high class friends, then the money will never dry up. He hasn’t spoken to his sister over the span of the four years, and he doesn’t plan to any time soon.[/indent][hr][center][h1][color=#ed0000][u]M I S C .[/u][/color][/h1][/center] [color=#ed0000][b][u]Extra:[/u][/b][/color] [indent]i like to play video games and eat crackers[/indent] [color=#ed0000][b][u]Anything Else:[/u][/b][/color] [indent]The walls of his room are dotted with posters promoting his favorite animes, he has t-shirts promoting his favorite wrestlers, and he’s a bit of a geek, secretly.[/indent][hr][/hider] [hr] [hider=Relationships][center][h1][color=#ed0000]Connor[/color][/h1] [center] [color=#ed0000]{[/color][i]"We're like a unit 'round these parts.

I think I picked alright."[/i] Feliks is Connor’s best friend. Connor has sort of realized Feliks’s money problems, but hasn’t brought it up in conversation, mostly because he doesn’t want to wound the other man’s pride. In an attempt to ensure that Feliks doesn’t move away, Connor has begun offering to pay the full month’s rent for often random reasons, including but not limited to: late birthday presents, late Christmas presents, easter gifts, Hanukkah gifts(though he’s fairly certain neither of them celebrate it). Additionally, the amount of pizza delivered to their house has recently tripled. ♥/☮ [color=#ed0000][b]Natasha Brinne[/b][/color] ♥/☮ [i]"Super babe that helps me with science homework and lets me booty call her. Thank you, Netflix."[/i] Tas and Connor have a very straightforward, simple relationship. They ‘chill,’ and they smoke, and they watch TV together. No dates, no commitment, perfect for Connor because it lets him pursue other women every weekend, while still giving him some semblance of consistency. Easily his closest female companion though. ☮ [color=#ed0000][b]Benji Graham[/b][/color] ☮ [i]"This one… He’s aight."[/i] Benji is Connor’s buddy when he goes out partying, Connor finds that he makes a good wingman(Benji can play guitar, and it helps make the ladies melt.). More importantly, Benji enjoys the finer things in life: video games and anime, and this is where they truly bonded. Connor’s only real problem with the other guy is that Benji in fact has a [i]positive[/i] relationship with his parents, whereas Connor… does not. ☮/♫ [color=#ed0000][b]Dominic Mason[/b][/color] ☮/♫ [i]"Feliks may be my best friend, but Dom is my best bro, and that's vastly different."[/i] Dom and Connor are a lot like, in that they're both athletes, and in Dom Connor has found a rival, someone to compare himself to and help constantly push his physical limits. The pair often go on thrill seeking adventures together, to this place or that, always chasing the next mountain to climb, or slope to board. Together, they always have grand adventures, and it has led Connor to be very fond of the other man. They don't talk much, and they don't need to. They click on another level, and their shared loved for the outdoors and adventure brings them closer than Connor is to most of the other people. ☯/☮ [color=#ed0000][b]Samson Shin-won Ahn[/b][/color] ☮/☯ [i]"Nothing better in life than a fine babe. Sam gets that."[/i] Sam cooks, and this has led to more than a few catches that Connor wasn't sure he'd get. The ol' 'Oh, you need a date for your friend, too? No problem, I've got a great friend who can cook us up an even better dinner!' play has worked out many times in Connor's favor. A great wingman, Connor doesn't think much more of the guy. A great friendship lies in wait here, one of them just has to ask the other to hangout without a woman involved... ☮ [color=#ed0000][b]Natalya Olsen[/b][/color] ☮ [i]"Lol, go figure. She would wind up back in my life."[/i] With Nat, it's complicated. Connor used to have a [i]thing[/i] with her, when they were younger and before he moved out to California. She's the only person in the apartment complex(and hopefully it stays that way) who has met Connor's parents. As a result, he still often goes to her when he's reminded of a problem with his family. ☮ [color=#ed0000][b]Didi Sabello[/b][/color] ☮ [i]"Of course she's going to wash the ink off of my back. Just gotta get her in the shower with me first..."[/i] Connor's relationship with Didi is pretty simple, and straight forward. They're friends, and sometimes they flirt. He doesn't think he could bring himself to actually do the deed with her; she's too close to some of his best friends, but he likes hanging out with her, and doesn't mind laying on the bed and watching cartoons while she draws on his back. ☯ [color=#ed0000][b]Echo Young[/b][/color] ☯ [i]"I mean, she exists."[/i] Indifference is the name of the game here. Connor truly has no strong feelings one way or the other about Echo, and he's pretty sure she isn't too fond of him, which has led to them... not spending much time together, unfortunately. ♫/⚜/♥ [color=#ed0000][b]Evalyn Jones[/b][/color] ♫/⚜/♥ [i]"She's cute, she's rich, she came from a lawyer family, she's tiny. What's not to like?"[/i] Connor isn't [i]great[/i] friends with Eva, but he's quite fond of her. He likes that she enjoys anime and movies as much as he does, and she's his second choice when he needs someone to watch something with. He doesn't want to pursue a relationship with her(he never does), but he's very much intent on getting her in his bed. The only thing that's stopping him so far is her kinda-sorta-relationship with Feliks; besides that, he knows she's kinda-sorta-crushing on him, and Connor can tell she's never had a real relationship before, and he plans to use that to his advantage.

Her hair is her life, and she takes great care of it, and often braids it. She has no tattoos, and only her earlobes are pierced. She likes the color pink--a lot, and it shows in her clothing choices, which often have at least one or two shades of pink, somewhere. Often time, it’s her socks that host the color for her. Her love of colors also shows in her hair, and she often dyes streaks of brighter colors in; blues, greens, and pinks. She’s never give it a full dye, but often expresses the idea of doing it blonde or black, at least once, to her closer friends. Naturally, she’s a redhead. Her eyes are a steely gray-blue shade. For clothes, it all depends on the situation. She tends to wear more ‘revealing’ things, though she tries to keep it relatively less risque for more serious situations. She [i]likes[/i] to wear low-cut shirts, short skirts, and heels and does when she’s out on the town, but in [i]reality[/i] she wears normal sized skirts, boring tennis shoes and positively boring single color tees. She’s also incredibly fond of sundresses.[/indent][h1][color=#ff00c3][u]M Y Q U I R K S[/u][/color][/h1] [color=#ff00c3][b][u]Habits | Quirks | Oddities[/u][/b][/color] [indent][list][*]Says like entirely too, like, often [*]Collects glass dragons [*]Wears a charm bracelet with several charms from notable moments in her life [*]Enjoys cooking with potatoes [*]Does her best to keep a can/bottle/cup of Baja Blast Mountain Dew around[/list][/indent] [color=#ff00c3][b][u]Hobbies:[/u][/b][/color] [indent][list][*]Singing, which she, contrary to most other people in the group, does very well [*]Flirting; she’s always ready to hit on the next person that she finds attractive, regardless of gender [*]Pokémon [*]Comic books and graphic novels [*]Learning languages(she currently fluent with English, French, and Spanish, and is learning Italian)[/list][/indent] [color=#ff00c3][b][u]Likes:[/u][/b][/color] [indent][list][*]Kitty Pryde [*]The X-Men [*]Animals, particularly kittens and birds; she has a snow white young kitten named Tigger [*]Snow, and playing in it [*]Similarly, sand, and playing in [i]it[/i] [*]Swimming [*]Winnie the Pooh and similar older Disney projects [*]Attempting to freestyle rap; she has little to no flow or ability to rhyme on point, but she’s not bad if rapping along to already written songs [*]Bread[/list][/indent] [color=#ff00c3][b][u]Dislikes:[/u][/b][/color] [indent][list][*]Being told that her appreciation of Disney films and TV shows are ‘childish’ [*]Anyone daring to take Tigger’s attention from her [*]Homework [*]The grading process [*]Being ignored [*]Modern country music[/list][/indent] [color=#ff00c3][b][u]Fears:[/u][/b][/color] [indent][list][*]Spiders; nope city, she’ll scream and call any guy in the apartment complex to do away with the spawn of Satan [*]Loneliness; part of the reason she got Tigger was to ensure that even if it turned out that she didn’t have any friends in the complex, she at least had her kitty [*]Open fires; anything less controlled than a bonfire at a party causes her to get anxious [*]Aliens; no way.

She is outgoing, and very friendly with almost everyone. She loves to meet new people and to do new things. She’s young, and she knows she’s got a lot of life ahead of her, but she’s happy to live life to the fullest. She very much lives in the moment, and she makes often times brash and not entirely thought out decisions. Whenever she is hanging out with a group, she [i]demands[/i] to be the center of attention, and [i]demands[/i] to be in charge. [i]She[/i] wants to choose what she does in her spare time, and she rarely lets anyone else get a word in edgewise. Her word, in her mind, is law, and she’ll be damned before she accepts no as an answer. She’s a huge flirt, she loves to tease and tempt others. She doesn’t care if they’re a boy or a girl, she’ll do her best to get them to enjoy her company. She’s just that, though: a tease. She idealizes the idea of a ‘romance,’ and she really just wants to be swept off of her feet and treated like the princess she perceives herself as. She’s not a virgin, but she hasn’t slept with many people either. She’s almost relentless in her flirting, though she tones it down in cases she deems [i]special[/i]. Only certain, taken people are given a break from it, otherwise she has far too much fun pushing boundaries with her teasing to even consider stopping. Jealousy is one of her main issues. She [i]hates[/i] when people do better than her. It doesn’t matter what they’re doing better than her [i]at[/i], it simply frustrates her that someone could possibly be better than she is. She also hates when the spotlight is stolen from her; if it were at all possible, she would love to be the light of everyone’s world. She especially hates when others take her kitten’s attention from her, stating that Tigger is ‘mine’ and others should act that way. Another problem she has is she’s more than a [i]little[/i] bit materialistic. She likes to own the nicest of everything, the most expensive phone, the best TV, the best purse, the best shoes. She lives a costly lifestyle, which can be a problem at certain points: she isn’t as wealthy as some of her peers. Luckily for her, one of the rich friends she has is relatively easy to manipulate with a bit of her womanly charm. Overall, Belle has a lot of room to grow. She’s friendly, and she’s not afraid of change or new experiences. In fact, she craves them. However, her minor obsession with being the center of the entire universe has led to some problems in the past, and it probably will in the future.[/indent][hr][h1][color=#ff00c3][u]D E F I N I N G M Y P A S T[/u][/color][/h1] [color=#ff00c3][b][u]History:[/u][/b][/color] [indent]She was born to a French immigrant father, and a pure-blooded American woman, who met in college. Her father immigrated to the country after he met her mother. She’s an only child, and there was lots of love throughout her childhood. Her parents weren’t perfect, but neither was she. They weren’t rich: her father makes a modest living owning a small, local locksmith business, and her mother working as a manager at a bookstore. She grew up in a small town in northern California and was always encouraged to chase her dreams. Every year, she makes the long trek to France with her parents to spend Christmas with her father’s family. She loves French culture and grew up bilingual. She found that her grandparents expected more of her than her actual parents, and while she deeply respects them, she never really considered their expectations of her realistic. Regardless, she’s very close to them and has sent them handwritten letters monthly since she was eight, which they have fondly saved each and every time. Through her years in highschool, she worked in the bookstore with her mother, and between her and her parents, they saved and invested smartly(most of the time) their spare income, and with time they had built her a decent chunk of change to further her education with. Alongside this, her job, and scholarships, Belle does alright for herself. She loves her life and her past, and she wouldn’t change a moment of it. She chose San Francisco to being her adult life, and after an extra year of saving, she bounded into the city at the age of nineteen, and found a comfortable apartment to stay in.[/indent][hr][h1][color=#ff00c3][u]M I S C .[/u][/color][/h1] [color=#ff00c3][b][u]Extra:[/u][/b][/color] [indent]She likes to spend time with her kitten and her friends, preferably together, and preferably watching movies and shows that she chooses.[/indent] [color=#ff00c3][b][u]Anything Else:[/u][/b][/color] [indent]N/A[/indent][hr][/center][/hider]
