CHARACTER: Dorian Gray CANON:The Confessions of Dorian Gray PERSONALITY: Hedonistic immortal antihero. He is selfish, self-centred, vain, arrogant, and amoral, just to start on his bad traits. But he is also an aesthete who loves beauty, learning, and mysteries, and he can be kind when it suits him. He soaks up experience like a sponge and is a total sensation junkie. He likes meeting new people and trying new things. He is also very attracted to the supernatural. His personality is very mercurial, so he might go 19th century charming gentleman on one person and 21st century callous bastard on another. CURRENT STATUS: He is settled with a job and friends and a strange continued moral crisis. He is having slightly more success learning the language thanks to friends but not tons of it. CR GOALS: Develop CR for sure, deepening the relationships he has (for better for worse) but new CR would be great too. Very open to both negative and positive CR. He tends to deserve the former a lot anyway. SCENE-DOS: I find I tend to prefer face-to-face, though network is workable. I am into all the genres! SCENE-DON'TS: Not many, especially for Dorian. He is pretty much available for the full gamut of human (and inhuman) experience. THE DECAY OF TU VISHAN/RATIONING: I want to do something useful and helpful with Dorian! And he'd even vaguely want to be helpful but he has no idea how he could be (Useless Victorian Gentlemen R Us).
On a personal level, he is going to survive it (he has done WWII before, kids) but he'll probably be more reliant on sex and vampirism to substitute for alcohol and cigarettes. ADDITIONAL: It's easiest to find him at night now, and only for certain hours. He canonically chooses to ignore pretty much the entire world once he gets Toby back into his life, so I'm making a conscious effort not to let him do that by trying to give him lots of outside things to keep him engaged.
