Full Name: Dorian Aasir Émile
Nicknames: D, Em (feel free to make up any too)
Pronouns: he/they
Age range: 18 - 23
Gender: male
Sexuality: pansexual
Faceclaim: Pierre Sekongo
Major: Math
Personality: He is quite intelligent - brilliant even - and not just book-smart. He's rather observant and often notices even minute details that might often go unnoticed otherwise. He accepts his strengths, though he's neither boastful nor modest. He can express his gratitude when it's deserved, and he won't apologize unless he was truly at fault and it caused harm or inconvenience to someone else. He enjoys getting strong reactions out of people, especially those close to him. For this reason, he will bring up controversial topics, even in otherwise mundane conversations. He is meticulous in his work and often becomes absorbed in whatever is holding his focus. But if he has no interest in a topic, he becomes impatient and will not spare any effort for it unless he has to. He does not care for his reputation, though he understands how social norms and the media can often be used to change a person's perception. Although he can be quite talkative and outgoing, he is introverted and prefers to have at least a few hours of alone time per day. He has a competitive streak, as well as a petty and stubborn side. Even so, he's not a sore loser. He does have a rather high opinion of his abilities so if he is competing at something he is particularly talented at, he will be surprised if he loses. If someone cheats while competing against them, they will purposely block their attempts. They have their pride, and so won't cheat in a fair match. But if their opponent cheats first, they won't feel guilty about cheating as well. He always has a trick or two up his sleeve, but he often won't use them unless he's pushed to. When they have a short-term project or problem they are intrigued by or passionate about, they become entirely focused on that thing to the point they often forgo basic necessities such as eating or sleep. They have no trouble with worrying over helpless points though; they can easily compartmentalize their thoughts and put away the ones that won't do any good at the moment. As such, it is usually fairly easy for them to separate their work and home lives. To relax, they'll often use music as a stress reliever, both playing and listening. They know how to play a variety of instruments due to their parents being music professors. Their favorite to play is the kalimba and they prefer to listen to instrumental music of any genre. They find music with lyrics distracting and they dislike losing their train of thought. They give clear explanations and walk through any questions when asked about a topic they are knowledgeable on. Even though they can be many things, they are not cruel. They can comfort others quite well when they want to. They care deeply for and cherish those closest to them, though they rarely express it through words. In a relationship, they tend to get jealous fairly easily, but they often pretend they aren't. They rarely talk about their own feelings. They can be a good listener if they feel like it.

He is the youngest of three, with two older sisters, one two years older than him and the other four. He got along with his sisters as well as most siblings usually do - they could have fun while spending time together, and they knew how to push each others' buttons. His sisters love to tease him especially since he's the youngest. His parents dote on all of them but him particularly so for the same reason.

Scenarios:
1.) Your OC and Dorian are TAs for the same professor.
2.) Your OC and Dorian are friends from childhood or highschool and he makes a spontaneous visit to your town.
3.) Your OC and Dorian are long-distant friends and your OC decides to visit them.
4.) It's Halloween and OC lives in the same town as Dorian's parents. Dorian, who happens to be home for the holiday, has decorated the house to appear much like a haunted house, adding a few props such as a mechanical zombie and pop out ghost to make it the scariest on the block. Maybe your OC has a little sibling or cousin who they're going to trick or treating with, or they're there on a dare from their friends, perhaps.
