 Name: Jonathan Livingston Bufton (his mom read too much hippie lit while pregnant with him) Nickname: Jon, Buffy Gender/Pronoun: Male, he/him Age: 24 25 Birthday: 12 December 1998 Sign: Sagittarius (Libra moon, Sag ascendant) Gemstone: Onyx Blood Type: O Neg Fav. Food: Gourmet anything. He is a first-class foodie. Hated Food: Junk "food". That's not food! Also dislikes the taste of alcohol, despite being a bartender, though he likes sweet sparkling wine with dinner. Occupation: Works at a nightclub in the gayborhood of Destiny City as a bartender. He has been everything from a dog groomer to a clerk at an adult store before, though. Hobbies: Dining Out: Buffy is a true gourmand; he loves fine food well prepared and appealing to both the eye and palate. Thing is, he can't be bothered to cook for himself very often, so he eats out a lot. He enjoys discovering new and interesting places to eat, and when it comes to food money is no object. Buffy is a fixture at some of the trendiest dining spots around Destiny City, so much so that the maitre'ds and wait staff know him on sight. He customarily dines alone, though as gregarious and sociable as he is he'll happily drag a friend or two along to share the experience. Club-hopping: If there's one thing Buffy loves, it's clubbing. The music, the people, the dancing! He loves dancing, and even though he's a pretty terrible dancer, he doesn't care, he's having fun dammit! He has his favorite clubs just like he has his favorite restaurants, with the same sort of relationship with the staff -- even deeper, since he's a bartender now himself working at a nightclub. The opportunities for people-watching are fantastic too, because you get to see people at their most free and relaxed, for the most part. PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION Eyes: Purple, almond shaped, expressive and twinkling with mischief. Man-scapes a little, wears light makeup around his eyes to make them pop, mostly liner with a bit of shadow; pencils his brows because they're pale. Hair: White, straight and stylishly shaggy, down to his waist. He likes to look like he just crawled out of bed after a very good night. Face: Something of a heart-shaped face, clean shaven, with a straight nose and a cupid's bow mouth that's both pouty and smiling at the same time. He has small gauges in both ears. Skin Tone: Fair and peachy (hex code #F6D3BD) Body Type: He stands just a whisker taller than 6', quite slim and lanky -- he's no gym queen, though he does work out to keep himself toned and lean. His hands are long, elegant and expressive. He likes tattoos rather a lot and has a collection of them, from a full Japanese koi sleeve on his left arm to a traditional nautical-inspired sleeve on his right. Clothes: Buffy dresses like a one-man Pride parade; he always has at least one item on him that's rainbow- or LGBTQ-themed, usually more. His usual attire is tees or tanks and jeans, though he's not afraid of booty shorts when it gets hot out. He enjoys hats too, and has quite the collection of baseball caps and other, fancier hats like Gatsby/Peaky Blinders flat caps.

Virtues:. Adaptable: Buffy is a master at flying by the seat of his pants. He's quick on his feet mentally, and loves change and challenging situations; he has held more and varied jobs since walking away from college at 19 than many people do in a lifetime. He considers himself a jack of all trades who believes specialization is for insects. Throw just about anything at him, and he'll adapt accordingly to deal with it. Wildly Gregarious: Oh goodness is this guy outgoing. Blessed with a strong personality, he's charming, affable, and people quite seem to like him. Buffy has a basically extroverted nature; he thrives on social situations regardless of whether he knows the people he's with or not. And usually if he doesn't know you at the start of the evening, you'll be his new friend by the time you leave. People and being social recharge him; he doesn't understand introverts, though he deeply respects their needs. Diplomatic: One of the things that makes Buffy such a good bartender is that he's so good at de-escalation. He would rather talk his way out of a situation than fight; he's definitely a lover not a fighter, but he's very good at negotiating peace in a reasonable manner, as well as skilled at telling people to go to hell in such a way that they're looking forward to the trip. He can break up the rare altercation at his bar just by talking the combatants down and rarely has to call in the nightclub's bouncer. Flaws: Low Impulse Control: If you look up "impulsive" in the dictionary, there will likely be a picture of Buffy there. An absolute neophile, he will try anything new once, twice if he likes it; and if he doesn't like it, out the window it goes. This goes for anything: jobs, people, restaurants, anything. He gravitates instinctively to the new and shiny, particularly the shiny, like a magpie. Shiny people especially. Stubborn: Buffy is as stubborn as an old mule. Once he has set his mind on something, it's nearly impossible to get him to do anything else. He's deeply contrary, often doing the opposite of what someone wants him to do just because they want him to do it. Now if he had come up with the idea, it would be a different matter. This does seem to run opposite to his lack of impulse control, but it actually does go hand-in-hand; he changes his mind frequently, but once he's stuck on something, he's really committed. Commitment-Phobic: Speaking of commitment… Buffy has fallen too deeply in love with variety to commit to any one place or job. He's lived in four different apartments in the four years he's lived in Destiny City and held about that many jobs. This also goes with his stubborn nature; once he decides to do something different, no amount of convincing will get him to just commit to the thing he's presently doing. This goes for relationships as well -- he goes through boyfriends like candy.

Buffy is a big ol' Southern belle. His accent is gentle as is typical for a native urban Virginian, but his mannerisms and speech patterns are all Southern, baby. He'll call you "honey" or "darlin'" and not mean anything by it, he drinks sweet tea by the gallon, he liberally sprinkles his speech with "y'all", and the biggest insult he can give is "bless your heart." And he delivers it all with just the friendliest smile. Buffy doesn't go so far as to quote Gone With The Wind because he can't abide the antebellum South, but there's no denying he's from below the Mason-Dixon line.
Buffy identifies as a cis gay man on the femme side of things. He has no interest in drag or dressing femme or anything like that, though he does wear a bit of eye makeup and has a fastidious facial skin care routine. Proud to be gay, he has personally reclaimed "queer" and sometimes uses terms like "nelly" and "f*****t" when describing himself. He's a strong advocate for gay rights, loves all people who identify as queer, and has attended protests and marches when those rights have been threatened. He's also a regular in the annual Pride parade, proudly marching with the Scandals crew and the drag queens who frequent the nightclub.
Despite his neophile nature, Buffy has never traveled outside of the Mid Atlantic region. He's been to Gettysburg in PA, Baltimore, and Washington DC a couple of times for rallies and protests (and Delaware once on accident), but apart from that he really doesn't travel much. Oh, he has a whole bucket list of places he wants to go to one day: San Francisco, New York City, Paris and Cannes, Ibiza… Someday he'll manage to save enough money to actually travel, now that he's in a work position that he's not planning on leaving anytime soon. He loves his job at Scandals, he loves living in the gayborhood, and he loves Destiny City.

Montmartre is a large hill in Paris, France. Occupied since at least the 3rd century, It is known in modern times as the location of the Moulin Rouge. Historically it was the site of the martyrdom and miracles of Saint Denis, Bishop of Paris and patron against headaches, strife, and frenzy. The WonderAncestorTo be determined!
