Name: Eliot Cohen
Gender/Pronoun: Trans male, he/him
Age: 17
Birthday: April 16
Sign: Aries
Gemstone: Diamond
Blood Type: AB+
School/Occupation: None (homeless, refuses to finish school)
Hobbies:
Photography: Eliot's true passion in life is his photography. He loves taking photos, mostly of nature and landscapes. His subjects are, more often than not, animals. Nature and animals are something precious, and capturing beautiful moments to release to the world is something he adores. Saving good memories is what he loves.
Parkour. Eliot loves the adrenaline rush that comes with completing a good move. Parkour, for him, is showing off in the only athletic way he really can. Practicing until he gets it right helps him get a good sense of accomplishment, even if it leaves him looking like he was beat up (and feeling it, too). He enjoys accomplishing crazy feats that stretch the limits of his body.
Virtues:
Flirty: Eliot is a serial flirt, but he means it every time. He tends to seek positive qualities in people and express them. He enjoys making people feel special, if only for a moment.
Loyalty: If you manage to worm your way into Eliot's heart, he'll go to the ends of the earth for you. Once he cares about someone, he cares deeply and won't give up on them, even at costs to himself, and he knows it, which is why he doesn't let very many people get close.
Flaws:
Selfish: Eliot focuses on his own survival above all else. He'll help people as long as it doesn't put himself in a pinch. He looks out for number one and frequently gets other people to take the fall for his own actions. He'll do small favors that don't inconvenience him very much to garner favors.
Impulsive: Eliot chases indulgence. He thoughtlessly does what he wants, when he wants, without a care in the world, just because it feels good. It's a trait that's gotten him into several pickles, but as he manages to weasel out of many, he never really learns his lesson.
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
Eyes: #451800, almond shaped
Hair: comes down to his ears, slightly curly, soft grey [#5E5558]
Face: heart shaped face, big ears, average nose, sharp jawline, teeny goatee he is way too proud of
Skin Tone: #8d5524
Body Type: 6'4", all lean, wiry muscle
Clothes: casual 1920s aesthetic. suspenders, flat cap, the works. he thinks it's great fashion. (he is not wrong)

Heylo, heylo! Profile for the most part looks good but there's a couple of things I need clarity on from a practical point of view if you could help me get on the same page as you for them? n_n
"Homeless" combined with "Photography" Normally photography is an extraordinarily expensive hobby for people (I have a friend who obsesses over her lens purchases as an example); since you've indicated that he's homeless can you just walk me through how you get round the expense element of this one e.g. is he using disposables, does he have an old camera, is he not as overtly concerned with top-range lens quality and so on.
I know that it might sound silly but it's just so that I can sign off on how the hobby works in his day to day life!
Caring vs Selfish I would suggest that the quality you're describing in 'Caring' is more aligned to 'Loyal'. Caring is typically the opposite of Selfish, but loyalty can exist within selfish and egocentric people. This is more of a point to consider vs asking for clarity, on the whole I don't have an issue with both personality traits being there, I'd just encourage you to take a look at whether the definition is aligned to what you want it to be.
Both traits can stay, this is just another of those "pedantic but..." moments as I think I'm understanding what you're trying to say about him with the caring element of his personality!
If you can run me through the photography thing I'll be happy enough to give him his trial stamp, just need to make sure I'm on the same page as you!

well you're right about me having meant "loyalty" instead of "caring" so I edited that in, WHOOPS, forgive me for my brain fart
As for the photography, I was thinking he mostly uses his phone and an old digital camera he has, because he doesn't have anywhere to put the good stuff he used to have before he ran way from home. He longs to have good stuff again, but he can't right now. I do have plans for him to get a place and such in the future but as of his introduction to DC he's homeless (and frustrated about taking photos with his phone all the time, man!!)

*Thumbs up* That's actually all I needed, just needed to get scope on how you were balancing the hobby with his current living situation etc. This clears it up for me!
I'll go ahead and plunk your Trial Stamp here and a GM will be along in a while for you. n_n
