"And I pray thee now, tell me for which of my bad parts didst thou first fall in love with me?"
Gregory:
 Name: Gregory Jones
Age: Toddler
Likes: Acting, drama, passion, costumes, Shakespearean times, flowery language, valiant duels, flirting with ladies, wildly inventing lies, waffles, exotic fruit, roses, propaganda, being adored and lavished with praise, music, and poetry.
Dislikes: Boring things, slang, text talk, 'the most foulle common tongue', jeans, boorishness, being ignored, people not praising him, being punished for not telling boring truths, brussels sprouts, soup, musicians, poets, people who are better at things than him, getting caught.
Personality: Gregory desires nothing more than to be disgustingly talented, loved, and envied. He is incredibly dramatic, lies about things he deems to be too boring when true, uses dramatic and hard to comprehend language, eats waffles like a fiend, and goes on daring adventures at every opportunity. He clings to people like an annoying Shakespearean burr and demands attention from them, often in language that makes it hard to understand what exactly he's demanding. He sighs melodramatically a lot and says things are starcrossed when he doesn't want to admit he's lost something.
Despite what one might think about him, he's dreadful at singing and poetry. It drives him insane, and thus he's quite jealous of singers and poets. He can read poetry in a book, and listen to music on the radio, but seeing it performed live by actual people makes him very jealous. He gets flustered and storms away, then rants and waves his hands, then invokes various gods, then finally sits in a closet, muttering thing about smug twits and preposterousness.
Ambitions: To be brilliant, universally adored by everyone, and be slathered with attention like butter on toast.
Fears: That no one will pay attention to him of he'll flub a line.
Theme song: A Star Danced by Patrick Doyle from Much Ado About Nothing (1993 movie adaptation)
"For them all together; which maintained so politic a state of evil that they will not admit any good part to intermingle with them." -Much Ado About Nothing, Act V, Scene II

"Be not afraid of greatness: some are born great, some achieve greatness..."
Name: Oliver Jones
Age: 27
Likes: Himself, money, women, flashy things, modern things, cars, moving fast, rugby, being smarter than people, and did I mention himself?
Dislikes: Old things and people, unattractive women, feminists, history, chivalry, people moving too slow, people getting in his way, feeling insecure, and being told 'no'.
Personality: Oliver Jones is a sexist pig. He objectifies pretty women and sneers at ones that aren't considered conventionally attractive. He's never been in love and he has all the human empathy of a walnut. A man who's used to getting what he wants due to parents who pampered him as a child and a successful job as a real estate agent as an adult, he values his persuasive speech. He loves modern and fast things and hates 'Old crap' but will deal with it if it leads to getting laid. He especially hates children and women who berate him for how he acts, but he's going to have to change soon...
Ambitions: To have his way with as many attractive girls as possible, to become rich, and to be better than everyone he knows.
Fears: Commitment, failure, being rejected.
Theme song: Take Me Out by Franz Ferdinand
"And some have greatness thrust upon them." -Twelfth Night, Act II, Scene V

"I like this place..."
The stage (Where we live)
Oliver's house is a ritzy sort of apartment. Everything there is new and shiny as it can be, and he keeps up with modern styles well. The apartment is spacious and has two floors with spacious, airy rooms. Each room has a different theme and Oliver redecorates often.
"...And willingly could waste my time in it." -As You Like It, Act II, Scene IV

"All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players."
Players we have met
Switch Gear:
Gregory:
Oliver: Seems shy. I think she was intimidated by my good looks, maybe she's not used to men.
"They have their exits and their entrances; And one man in his time plays many parts." -As You Like It, Act II, Scene VII
