julian king

Dating App CEO and Instagram Influence--and yet unable to land a date himself. Julian, a man so obsessed with setting other people up himself seemed to forget to find a lover himself. Therefore, his best friend signed him up for this show in hopes of him putting themself out there. He's looking to woo someone or even have his own feet swept out from under him. A self proclaimed cupid ready to find his happily ever after.

Julian is usually perceived to be much older than he actually is. While most would think that's due to his grey hair, it's actually due to the fact he is an incredibly young business owner. Julian is the current owner of Kiss2Cute, one of the hottest dating and match making sites available right now! Currently, he has left the company in charge with his business partners to focus on himself. And his Instagram account. One doesn't get over a million followers by doing nothing! Both are his current passions in life.

Julian was able to start his company so young due to the fact he had forced himself through as much schooling as humanly possible when he was younger. Graduating both university and high school early, Julian has always been a do-er. He's known what he's wanted since he was young as well. And given the fact he has primarily been on his own since he was sixteen? He's doing pretty good for himself. Julian prides himself in his work; both jobs being the reason he keeps going in life.

When he was sixteen, Julian had come out as a homosexual to his parents. They didn't take it very well and forced him out of their home. Julian was thankfully able to live in his very eccentric aunt's home for a while. She was the mother he always deserved after all. His aunt was a huge driving force in him finishing school very early and achieving his dreams. Unfortunately, she had passed not long after the launch of Kiss2Cute, but he will always treasure her.

Julian is quite literally in love with the idea of love. Helping people find their true love has always been his passion. He likes to think he's the human incarnate of Cupid. Julian has always played matchmaker to his friends. And usually he was right on the dot with it. He never plays around when it comes to love. Although, he's usually too busy helping other people find love to focus on serious relationships of his own. Perhaps one day he will find his perfect match too!

He is a lover of pinks and reds (the colors of love of course!). He absolutely loves to travel and he is incredibly thankful for where he is now, allowing him to travel freely. But Julian is not the type to simply horde money. He is constantly making donations to various charities, with LGBT+ ones being his personal favorite. Julian didn't come from money and thankfully the money and fame hasn't tainted him too bad. Julian is a very flirty, very touchy person. He constantly craves affection and attention, but on his own terms of course. Julian is a friend to all, ready to lend a hand when needed. He truly tries his best.

Julian is joining the bachelors for Bachelor House purely because his own circle of friends were so tired of him helping other people be in love that it was time he focused on himself! Instagram hiatus post up and he's ready to go!

Figure skating was August's greatest passion, a dream he had since he was little and watched his mother's old competition video's. Though his mother had been famous in her own right, she wanted her son to follow his own aspirations without being cast in the shadow of who she used to be but she had been pleasantly surprised when August begged her to sign him up for classes. Soon he was on the ice and there was no going back. Between his ballet classes, skating lessons, and keeping his grades up, August rarely had time for making friends and he came off as aloof and withdrawn in the eyes of the other children his age but if one were to watch him skate that was where he came alive and his eyes sparkled with an unimaginable joy.

The years passed and August's name continued to climb the ranks as he competed time and time again. He started getting noticed on the streets and his social media following grew and grew. His future was shining as bright as a star in the sky but it all came crashing down around him soon enough. One wrong move while skating, an over-extended movement and his skating career began to slip through his fingers. Though they told him that his knee would make a swift recover, he noticed their whispered conversations that cut off when they thought he was listening, saw the concerned glances they gave him when they thought he wasn't looking.

With an injured knee, he was forced to take leave while he recovered with strict instructions to stay off the ice. His mother came to stay with him to help take care of him and it didn't take her long to notice the life in August's eyes growing dimmer day by day. His mother felt desperate and wanted to take his mind off of his current situation, which was why she signed him up for Bachelor House. Well-meaning yes, but not the best thought out plan she has ever had.

August was shocked to say the least; though there were rumors over the years of him dating other fellow skaters, he had been too focused on his career to worry about his love life and now he was expected to fall in love in front of millions of people? He was skeptical, but at least it was better than moping around his apartment.

Though social media had painted August as being cool and detached, the real truth was that he was simply shy. Growing up with his intense focus on skating left him without friends to interact with and now as an adult, August still can't figure out how to hold much of a conversation. He becomes flustered rather easily and he has zero experience when it comes to dating or any of the aspects of finding a match. He surmised that getting through this show was going to be harder than any competition he has faced yet.

Gay (as in homosexual)









Taylor's family is full of athletes and was expected to carry on expectations placed upon him at such a young age. When he was eight years old he got into amateur wrestling which took him a while to adjust. He initially hated attending practice since it would always be after school when he wanted to play video games and laze around. Most nights would mostly be just studying and wrestling without any break to do whatever he wanted except on weekends. Over time, he managed to tough it out and started competing when he was thirteen where he got third place in a bracket of only three people.

He didn't take the loss easily, it made him feel shitty, but his dad who put him in wrestling in the first place was upsetting for him. Taylor's dad was very intrusive in his son's life, always making sure Taylor was always training and studying which molded Taylor's perception of his father. He didn't trust him with his emotional well-being since he never seemed to care about how his son was feeling and was fixated on his achievements.

Taylor never felt like he had an outlet to express himself truly. He eventually learned to enjoy wrestling but it was the only thing he had. Going into high school he held a lot of angst from his tweens. He struggled with his sexuality with no one to look up to or trust with his feelings. So when he finally started socializing, he found himself in very unhealthy relationships, especially with other boys who would consider themselves queer.

Between his tumultuous love life and his expectations both academic and athletic, he found himself in a depression that he didn't know how to get out of. His first loss meanwhile was a one-off, but his dad never stopped talking about it with passing remarks. Even though had many 1st place medals from competing regionally and nationally and even a full-ride athletic scholarship, it was never enough to please him.

When attending college, Taylor decided to get a degree in philosophy, an interesting choice for a college athlete who would usually choose an 'easy' degree like communications. He enjoyed the curriculum because it gave him something to think about that didn't involve relationships or personal achievement. He began to appreciate how many unanswered questions there were and the approaches to life's meaning. He took a vow of celibacy and a break from dating for a while in between his training and studying to get himself grounded and start living life for himself.

When he graduated, he was much happier and came out to his family who were accepting and his dad wasn't judgemental but still wondered when he was going to qualify for the Olympics. Still under scrutiny from his father, he felt like he needed a change which is why he chose to join the Bachelor House, with his renewed confidence in his sexuality and sense of self, maybe he can have more positive and healthy experiences with other queer men.

Note: I can't stay invested on fluff alone and need drama and (lighthearted!) IC conflict, whether that's through a pairing or supporting another pairing's arc in whatever way is fitting. Just something to keep in mind while determining what kind of game you wanna run, and whether that mindset is gonna be a good fit. : )

Jay Hunter



Age: 25
Gender: Cis male
Sexuality: Gay
Height: 5'9"
Blurb: Born as the third of four sons to a salesman dad and a football coach mom, Jay's childhood was filled with sports, roughhousing, and constant arguments, but while he and his brothers butted heads, they were close. Jay had each of their backs, and he felt particularly protective of his younger brother, who had a gentler disposition than the rest of them. Plus, or so he decided, it was his responsibility, being a year older.

In seventh grade, he tried dating girls, and something about that felt odd. The butterflies didn't stir like his mother explained they should if he was in love. He knew what "gay" was, but it took a couple years longer for it to finally click. For a while, he tried to bury that part of him so far down that it couldn't see the sunlight. He poured blood and sweat into football. He leapt into beer pong the first time he played it as a freshman. If he couldn't be straight like the other boys, then he could be better than them. He could become one of the best tight ends. He could out-drink them all.

But it was stupid, he came to realize. So screw it. He came out his sophomore year, first to his family. "And if you got a problem with it, I'll knock you flat!" he warned his brothers, meeting the eyes of each of them as his heart hammered in his chest. They didn't care. Neither did their parents. A few kids at school, and the PTA, raised a stink, but the school allowed him to stay in football.. He never dated. Those years, he was defiantly gay, not romantically. In some ways, he had a problem with his sexuality more than most of his peers.

As graduation neared, people thought he would take up the offer from one of the college recruiters. He signed up for the marines instead. Still he felt like he had something to prove, and football no longer did it. Service gave him scars, a few physical, and a few mental that he later got help for in the form of a group, but it also helped him in a couple ways. One, it granted him a sense of order that remained embedded in his habits. Two, it matured him some - gone were the days of being a yappy, scrappy boy. He didn't need to so readily resort to aggression, or the threat of it. Three, he thought he was grabbing life by the berries, but, as he realized, that was only kind of true, so when he returned to civilian life, he dated, and again, and again. The string of heartbreaks was crushing at times.

Jay was once again single when he heard about Bach House. He applied to be on the show, and though he didn't act it, it surprised him when he, a veteran remodeler, was selected. His competitive spirit still drove him through life. It might at times overshadow his honest desire to find love. That, and he struggles with emotional vulnerability, a note a couple of his exes had given him right before walking out the proverbial door.
