Name: Dorian Baskerville
[cousin to my Tristan Baskerville]
Nickname: None really
Gender/Pronoun: Trans man, he/him
Age: 25
Birthday: November 1
Sign: Scorpio
School/Occupation: Fashion photographer for a magazine that has recently gone international; he transferred from their London branch to DC when the opportunity opened up
Hobbies: Fashion || Dorian llloooves fashion. Of all kinds. Haute couture, street, whatever, if it looks good, he wants to see it. Yes, he’s made this (and his love of photography) into his career, but it’s a hobby, too; even in his free time, he loves to engage with the fashion world, and his personal looks are ever eclectic and ever fun.
Photography || Yes, yes, the other half of his job, but in his free time, as much as Dorian likes human subjects, he tends to choose natural ones or cityscapes for his personal time. He also likes doing photography for queer community events, like drag shows and Pride parades, and making his subjects look good, whether they’re human or butterfly or flower or cat, is deeply important to him.
Parties || Dorian. Loves. Parties. He always wants to be where the fun is, and he’ll gladly indulge until he can’t anymore. He’s always the first to show up, usually with drinks, and the last to leave, if he leaves at all; it’s all about having the best time he can for the longest time he can.
Virtues: Charming || Dorian certainly knows how to sell himself. He’s all about pretty words and sometimes-false promises, if it wins other people over; truly, he enjoys being the center of attention and he likes being
liked. So he’s happy to turn on the charm and play “how to win friends and influence people,” and he’ll even enjoy doing it.
Confident || Dorian doesn’t really do the whole “self-doubt” thing. Why should he? He got a lot of that out when he was a scared, miserable kid, and now he’s living his best life, so why shouldn’t he feel good about himself? He practically oozes certainty, and he’s equally glad to help other people feel better about themselves and their choice too. Yes, even the bad ones.
Flaws: Hedonistic || Dorian is a party-first type of person. He’s a man of many vices, and he loves to indulge them, and he’s ever seeking fun, exciting new ways to do so. He’s here for a good time, not a long time, and he wants to set himself up for the absolute best time possible. This means that he’ll often sacrifice good behavior (and good sense) to get to indulge in his vice of the week, and also that the primarily thing one can rely on Dorian for is that he’ll show up at work on time, even if he's hung over and in yesterday’s clothes, and also that he’s good for whatever as long as it’s fun.
Self-Centered || Dorian cares primarily about himself. He’d say this is a good thing—who else is gonna put Dorian first if he doesn’t? But it does also make him very selfish, and thoroughly unreliable for things that are inconvenient for him. It’s all about Dorian, and he is not shy about demonstrating such.
