[center][h2] Welcome to the Hopeful Romantics Club!​ [/h2][/center] Jokes aside, welcome to my character thread. :D I'll be posting all my character bios on this page and will update it with new characters and changes to the template and the options available. It'll include the characters I've created for original roleplaying games. [hr][center][h2]The Four Romantics[/h2][/center] Without further ado, the gentlemen! In-canon, they're all friends and hang out at a common bar. Despite their unique experiences and personalities, they are all dashing gentlemen who have the courage to take the set the tone and take the lead, making your ladies feel secure and loved!​ They're all guys who have unique, distinct personalities and ways of dealing with things, and are looking to find a girlfriend who will make their lives better. For fun's sake, I'll arrange them by Hippocrates' four-temperament classification.

This motivated him to study clinical psychology, which he received a doctor's degree in at age 32. His busy studying schedule hasn't allowed him to have more than a few relationships and a few one-night stands. But now that it's over, he's more willing to engage in active dating. His main challenge is learning how to let good things (and great women) happen without being overly emotionally attached to a specific outcome (i.e. marrying with kids).​ [/hider] [h3]The Melancholic[/h3] [hider=Peter Flanders] [hider=Face Claims] [url=https://ibb.co/2dYf8P2][img]https://i.ibb.co/qpFP09G/Peter-Flanders.webp[/img][/url] [url=https://ibb.co/smSfF3M][img]https://i.ibb.co/M2TvRN3/Zo-NXs-Dp-V-v8-Xe-1024.webp[/img][/url] [/hider] [b]Name:[/b] Peter Jermaine Flanders [b]Born:[/b] September 7th (age 24) [b]Height:[/b] 176 cm (5'9.3'') [b]Build:[/b] Lean, but toned and fit [b]Occupation:[/b] Marine zoology student [b]Hobbies:[/b] Swimming, diving, rock-climbing, calishtenics, reading, video games [b]Romantic experiences:[/b] Never dated much [b]Sexual experience:[/b] 0 [b]About:[/b] Self-conscious, shy and anxious, Peter is trying to rewire his mindset to be healthier and more positive. As a boy who was raised by a single mother, he was taught to be nice to women and consequently ended up in the friend zone every time. This, coupled with the fact that everyone else seemed to catch all the breaks when it came to love and sex, led to frustration, feelings of inadequacy and even resentment towards women. He also became addicted to pornography, seeing it as an easy escape from the seemingly impossible dating scene, while his studies suffered. He was saved from this by Randy and Frank, who became his first genuine friends and opening the way to becoming a better man.​ [/hider] [h3]The Choleric[/h3] [hider=Randy Westlake] [hider=Face Claims] [url=https://ibb.co/ZgHn6Qc][img]https://i.ibb.co/LgQLzT9/Randy-Westlake.webp[/img][/url] [url=https://ibb.co/NKkzJTw][img]https://i.ibb.co/M7jLtBq/5231bb2c-5284-41fb-affc-75a23e0e94fe.webp[/img][/url] [/hider] [b]Name:[/b] Randall Keith Westlake [b]Born:[/b] August 11th (age 28) [b]Height:[/b] 178 cm (5'10'') [b]Build:[/b] Heavy muscle mass, toned, powerful [b]Occupation:[/b] Music mixer and mastering engineer [b]Hobbies:[/b] Powerlifting, drawing, cooking, guitar, heavy metal, amusement parks [b]Romantic experiences:[/b] 1 long-term relationship, 11 hookups [b]Sexual experience:[/b] 12 [b]About:[/b] Randy, an avid metalhead and fan of Andy Wallace, didn't necessarily have the same kind of success dating. His first long-term girlfriend, while beautiful, was quite emotionally unstable and domineering, and it wasn't until he hired Frank that he realized what a bad picker he was. He was chasing hot women for validation, instead of looking for women who had the best odds to make his life happier. Once dating, as well as life, stopped being a battle of egos, everything became easier and more enjoyable for him. While he still has a fierce temper, he's become more forgiving and kindly in later years.​ [/hider] [h3]The Sanguine[/h3] [hider=Shane Michaels] [hider=Face Claims] [url=https://ibb.co/vvzqFy9][img]https://i.ibb.co/G3Pp6Ym/Shane-Michaels.webp[/img][/url] https://image.lexica.art/full_webp/8b7d297f-1291-4bf2-b8d9-f859567404bf [/hider] [b]Name:[/b] Shane Kevin Michaels [b]Born:[/b] February 3rd (age 28) [b]Height:[/b] 185 cm (6'1'') [b]Build:[/b] Athletic and toned [b]Occupation:[/b] Actor, voice actor, stuntman [b]Hobbies:[/b] Clubbing, dancing, tennis, water-skiing, travelling, calisthenics [b]Romantic experiences:[/b] 30 hookups [b]Sexual experience:[/b] 30 [b]About:[/b] While Shane may be one of the friendliest and most playful people you're ever likely to meet, he harbors a deep-seated fear of commitment instilled in his heart by a parentless background and years of living in orphanages, without any male role models. On the one hand, being heavily involved in one-night stands got him lots of sexual experience, and he was always straightforward about his intentions regarding them. On the other hand, as time flew by, he became lonelier and yearned for a deeper connection yet feared it at the same time. Meeting Frank Richardson helped him disspell some of the myths he'd bought into, so that he could become receptive to a woman he could spend a lifetime with.​ [/hider] [hr] [center][h2]Other characters[/h2][/center] W.I.P.
