-- RPed by Semblance

Couple B (male)- He has been dating Couple A since college and they got married in 2019. They had a small wedding with only their families. Couple B has no idea about Couple A's affair with the Workaholic.

The Workaholic- Ambitious, hardworking, and career-driven, the Workaholic has always known what they wanted to do with their life and stayed in NYC after graduation to pursue their dream job. As they became consumed with their work, they began to crave companionship and intimacy. This is when the Workaholic bumped into Couple A, the old flame, and started an affair.

The Traveler- After graduating, this person moved abroad and began traveling the world, spending a couple years in each city. After ten years, the Traveler has finally decided to return to the USA and move back to NYC.

The Supporter- After this person's family member became terminally ill, the Supporter moved back to their small hometown to support their family. When their family member finally passed away after a long hard-fought battle, the Supporter decided they needed a change in their life and moved back to NYC.

The Hopeless Romantic- This person has been seeking "the one" ever since they were little and saw their parents still hopelessly in love with each other after many years. After many failed dates and casual flings, they are starting to lose hope. In a city of 8 million people, NYC can certainly feel lonely.

key traits :
+ free spirited : Ophelia is very independent, and not afraid to stick it to conventional standards. She loves to travel and isn't worried about most societal rules and pressures that other people her age are.
+ creative : With a career in photography, it isn't a surprise that Ophelia is creative. She sees the art in everything, and is very imaginative.
+ charismatic : Ophelia is fast on her feet, and often knows just the right thing to say. She knows how to wrap people around her finger very easily.
- flaky : When Ophelia says she'll do something, that very rarely means she'll actually do it. She worms her way out of engagements and responsibilities constantly.
- spacey : Ophelia often seems slightly out of touch with reality, since she's so free-spirited. Problems seem distant to her, and she rarely sees the consequences to her actions. She's also quick to get her head lost in the clouds.
- wasteful : Simply put, Ophelia is bad with money--and most other resources she has in her life. She's very wasteful of things and doesn't see their value until they're gone.
hobbies : photography, drink mixing, fashion & shopping, karaoke

dislikes : being forced to sit still, the smell of cigarettes, tea, hangovers

backstory : Ophelia was born to a fairly well off family in Brooklyn. She showed a proficiency in the arts from a young age, and was quickly drawn to photography. In high school she wanted to work as a news photographer, but after graduating she had trouble finding a job. She instead started to take freelance photography gigs, starting in New York City but quickly moving across the states, and eventually, out of the country, in order to find work. After ten years, she came back not out of sentimental reasons, but simply because she was following work like always.

  psyche

  
  
  
  

  Emotionally reserved. Leo prefers to not speak about his emotions and he tends to bottle up them. He has this calm and reserved demeanor, a sort of mask, that he uses to hide his emotions behind. He rarely states his opinions and has difficulties disagreeing. If something bothers him he probably doesn’t say it out loud. However he knows communication is the key to every relationship and is determined to try his best.
  
  Serious. Leo isn’t the most humorous person, in fact he’s quite serious. He doesn’t usually understand jokes and takes sarcasm literally. He tries his best to understand but usually he doesn’t. He has his own sense of humor but people don't usually understand it. He thinks it’s funny to say something absurd or obvious with a straight face. Despite his seriousness, Leo giggles quite easily, especially when drunk.
  
  Strict. Leo demands a lot both from himself and from others making him quite strict. He has strict criterias for people and if one doesn't fulfill his criterias, it's a good bye. Perhaps because of this Leo's past relationship hasn't worked out. Leo is a real perfectionist and he won't stop trying until he's satisfied with the result of his work. He’s accompanied by overly critical self-evaluations and concerns regarding others’ evaluations.
  
  Idealistic. Leo is idealistic to the point of being unrealistic. He sees the world with this rose-colored vision of what the world should be, ignoring all the negativity which makes him ignorant. It's hard for him to accept that the world isn't perfect. He wants to grow as a person and make the world a better place. He has a great sense of justice and he always tries to make the right decision, even if it has a negative outcome.
  
  Nurturing. Leo is an older brother sort of figure. Even when he was a teen he was always the dad friend of her group, always worrying if his friends had eaten and drank enough water. He has a habit of carrying aspirin with him, in case of someone having a headache. He really loves taking care of others and often puts his own needs after the needs of others.
  
  Emotional. Leo is quite emotional and he tends to follow his emotions rather than his head. However he hates this feature about himself and would like to use more his head when making decisions. Whatever he feels it’s always a strong feeling. Small things are able to influence the state of his mind. It’s like a two bladed sword: he becomes easily happy but is able to feel negative emotions just as easily.

  Leo's past

  
  

  Leo was born in Kuopio, Finland as an only son. Leo isn't from an especially religious background, in fact none of his family members were part of the church. He only joined church at the age of fifteen, since all of his friends were going to confirmation camp and he wanted to attend too.
  
  His family wasn't the most accepting but he still managed to have a warm relationship with his parents. His parents were only together because of true love, something Leo wanted to achieve in future. Sadly the dad having issues with alcohol didn’t do any good to the relationship. Joining the camp was a way for Leo to get away from home for a whole week. He could spend that time with his friends, it didn't matter if there was some talk about the bible.
  
  However once the camp started, Leo was extremely interested in the bible and learning all the psalms etc. Reason for his sudden interest? A good looking church's youth worker. He was young, fun and kind. Leo has felt some happy sparkly feelings when he was close to him. Leo had already realized there was something wrong with himself.
  
  At the beginning Leo had this negative attitude over religion. "The Church doesn't accept gays and is old fashioned." However the youth worker was extremely open minded and out of closet as a bisexual person. Leo was able to talk about his family issues and the fact he probably wasn't straight either.
  
  After the summer camp, Leo was still closeted for couple more years before coming out to his parents. He had couple hidden same sex relationships behind his parents. But in their company he was completely "straight". At eighteen he even "dated" his best friend: a closeted lesbian girl Emilia. They cared about each other but weren't in love. However this way they could fool their parents.
  
  They also were able to experience dating and sex in safe environment. When Emilia and Leo were 18, she got pregnant with Leo's child. They both were terrified. This wasn't supposed to happen. Emilia wasn't sure if she wanted to become a mom, but abortion was no option her. That much she knew. In the end they decided to keep the child. However Emilia didn’t want to be a mother to the child. Instead the child was raised as Leo’s sibling. After the pregnancy Leo’s family moved to the States where they had some distant relatives.
  
  When Leo was twenty, he started to think about school and career. The confirmation camp has a special place in his heart. It's what influenced and changed his opinions a lot. Because of his experience at the confirmation camp, Leo wanted to pursue a career where he could work at the church and help out youngsters like had been helped. He decided to stick with the youth career of pastor. He started to study theology in university. Leo graduated around the age of 25.
  
  Leo kept working as a pastor, and living your regular family life. Still closeted Leo found a woman called NIna he really thought he could keep loving. She also had a child from a previous relationship. They were together for a couple years, before they divorced. After the divorce Leo finally came out as gay. Even though they cared for each other, they decided it would be best to break up and get partners they actually were in love with. The children deserved that much. After Nina there was couple gay relationships. One most memorable being with a younger guy named Lari. Lari was a kindergarten teacher, and they had a lot in common. He didn't like Leo's religious side, but he didn't mind too much. The two of them were deeply in love and even in marriage. They were together for six years. However Lari cheated on Leo, and they ended up divorcing.
  
  Currently Leo dreams about marriage, but is focusing on work. He mostly works with youngsters, in confirmation camps and school, but does other stuff too like different sermons and wed couples. He has gained fame as a openly gay pastor. His views are very open regarding to lgbtq+ subjects and gay marriage. He has been in magazines and part in talk shows. Many people don't agree with him and even think he’s not suitable as a pastor.
