Name: Adrian Moreno Age: 19 Appearance: Adrian is the kind of man whose presence fills a room without effort. He stands at 6'3", broad-shouldered and powerful, but there’s an undeniable softness to him—gentle eyes, slow, deliberate movements, and a warm, reassuring presence. His dark curls frame a strong jawline, and his deep brown eyes always carry an expression of quiet understanding. He dresses simply—soft, well-fitted sweaters and worn jeans, the kind of clothes that make him look effortlessly good. Personality: Adrian is soft-spoken, not because he lacks confidence, but because he knows the power of listening. He chooses his words carefully and only speaks when he feels it truly matters. He’s steady, patient, and deeply kind, the type to offer quiet reassurance rather than grand gestures. He carries an air of emotional strength, someone who can be relied upon without hesitation. Though reserved, he isn’t timid—when he does speak, his voice is rich and grounding, and his words carry weight. Background & Interests: - He was raised in a religious cult. As a teenager, he confessed that he struggled with feelings of same-sex attraction. He refused to take part in conversation therapy and was excommunicated and kicked out when he was 16. He went to live with his aunt Teresa, who left the church when Adrian was a small child. He worked through high school to save for college. - Adrian has some shame surrounding his body and his sexuality, but he is a romantic person who longs for a relationship. - Adrian lives in the dorms for free because he is an RA. He works at the dining hall for a tuition reduction and works 15 hours a week at a coffee shop on campus. This is where he met Eli. He is always busy. - He enjoys woodworking. His workshop is filled with the scent of cedar and varnish, and his creations hold small personal touches that make them deeply meaningful. - He loves reading, especially poetry. He doesn’t often share his thoughts on it, but the books on his bedside table reveal a deep love for introspective, lyrical works. - He enjoys quiet evenings—cooking, listening to music, sitting by a fireplace. He’s not one for loud parties, but he has a deep appreciation for good company. - His idea of romance isn’t grand declarations—it’s the small things, like remembering how Eli takes his coffee, leaving notes tucked into his pockets, or holding him a little longer when the world feels too heavy. - He's majoring in architecture and minoring in environmental science. He wants to be an urban planner.
