PRESLEY PARKINSON > 27 > dazed and confused > charles melton
outwardly the kind of guy you’d never truly believe had a problem in the world. bisexual. the teacher who makes all the parents blush. coffee lover. always smiles, always had the kind of nurturing puppy dog type love and adoration for people that makes you truly believe he’s reliable support. which he is, really. but he’s also a mess. a foster kid who never got adopted, just aged out of the system. very few people know because he’s great at deflecting. is drawn to and seeks out people like himself who maybe don’t have anyone. a fixer. literature lover. lives in a share house and hates not feeling settled. drinks a little too much but enough that no one questions him. never been able to hold down a relationship for too long because he struggles to open up. takes on hobbies and actually sticks to them. obsessed with love but probably wouldn’t know what it was if he really found it.
NEEDS / former foster siblings. share house roommates. other broken people he’s ‘adopted’ and tried to fix/help. teacher friends who have their own recreational sports team. exes he’s fucked everything up with. exes he’s friends with? drinking buddies and old uni buddies he’s still pals with? a girl or a guy who’s too good for him and won’t let themselves be a project.
born and raised in manchester before moving to brighton as a teen. may 17, aries. dyslexic and always school. firefighter. was engaged to his 6th form sweetheart but left her at the altar when he realised that he was doing it all because it seemed like The Thing to do. ran home to manchester for a month to get his head twisted on straight before returning. possibly enemy #1 for a lot of people at the moment for being that douche bag. spends his time either surfing or hiding away from it all in the firehouse. hasn’t really explained himself or been open with anyone about his feelings. doesn’t really like to in general. the older sibling. protective over everyone he cares about and a big softie really.
needs — his ex fiance who he had been with for almost fifteen years whose heart he broke. and a lot of people who hate him for it and still shun him. his younger siblings. firemen buddies who have his back because they’re basically brothers. surfing beach buds.
𝙣𝙚𝙚𝙙𝙨 — a family/parents who are longtime members of verum lux / people within the group that she’s known for her entire life / people from monroe that she has helped to recruit over the last few years / someone on the outside who challenges her every belief. a guy (or girl) who frustrates her with their effective use of logic and level-headed beliefs in the face of her own.
