+ Perceptive, Ambitious, Nurturing - Stubborn, Perfectionist, Evasive

QUICK HITTERS:
Immigrated to the US from Greece at the age of 10
Lived in Queens, NYC, for most of his life, then moved to Huntington Beach, CA, in early 30s, then to Windsor Bay last year
Currently no partners, no kids
Dropped out of college around age 19 and joined the army, deployed for 14 months in Afghanistan, discharged due to mental illness (OCD & PTSD)
Went into construction after the military
Has a well-trained German Shepherd named ChorĂŠftria (Eftri for short), meaning "dancer"
Plays the mandolin, some acoustic guitar
Complicated, at times tragic romantic history
Likes woodworking, fishing, camping, and hiking
Has a self-destructive streak a mile wide but is in therapy & working on it
Nurturing to a fault: likes to take care of people, but can be overbearing and forgets that he doesn't always know what's best for others
OPEN CONNECTIONS:
The Building Buddy: Alexios bought a 2-bedroom fixer-upper and has been working on it since he moved. This person has been helping him with the construction.
The Sinclair Ranch: Alexios has been working with the horses on the Sinclair Ranch since he got to town. If your OC is a Sinclair, an employee, a rival to the family, or even just someone who frequents the ranch/rides horses, there's potential for a connection here. Open to multiple.
The Neighbor: Alexios grew up with a "borrow some sugar from the neighbors" mindset. He likes to be friendly and helpful toward his neighbors, and he'll never turn down another resident in need. Maybe he helped your OC change a lightbulb, jump start their car, or bring groceries in during the rain. Or maybe he hasn't yet, and we can write it now. Open to multiple; must live in the mountains.
Romantic/Sexual: FWB, unrequited crushes, will they/won't they, old flames, etc. Open to any genders, ages 25 and up. -> Please note that I would ultimately like to develop these organically (i.e., we plot, then throw them on dash to see if it pans out). I like to gauge Alexios's chemistry with other characters before committing to anything :)
TAKEN CONNECTIONS:
The Tour Guide: Someone took Alexios under their wing when he first movedâintroducing him to neighbors, bringing him to notable spots around town, that sort of thing. They helped him settle in and get comfortable here, and they were likely his first friend in town. Must be a Windsor Bay local, or at least, someone who has lived here a looooong time.âTAKEN BY JJ HAYES
The Interior Decorator: Alexios is great at building but truly terrible when it comes to decorating. No natural eye for color, room composition, style, etc. (Seriously, the only reason his clothes are in good order is that a loved one whipped his wardrobe into shape years ago.) This connection has been helping him decorate his house (and plan/budget accordingly).âTAKEN BY CASSANDRA REID
The Neighbor: Alexios grew up with a "borrow some sugar from the neighbors" mindset. He likes to be friendly and helpful toward his neighbors, and he'll never turn down another resident in need. Maybe he helped your OC change a lightbulb, jump start their car, or bring groceries in during the rain. Or maybe he hasn't yet, and we can write it now.âTAKEN BY AMARA HAWTHORNE (but still open to more)
The Sinclair Ranch: Alexios has been working with the horses on the Sinclair Ranch since he got to town. If your OC is a Sinclair, an employee, a rival to the family, or even just someone who frequents the ranch/rides horses, there's potential for a connection here.âTAKEN BY ADRIAN SINCLAIR (but still open to more)
