🖤 SERHAT KOR | 27 | NEW YORK CITY 🖤

Serhat Kor isn't the kind of man people usually notice.

At 27, he has spent more of his life surviving than living. Born into a violent, suffocating family in Turkey, he grew up with abuse, bullying, isolation, and eventually a heroin addiction that consumed most of his teenage years and early adulthood. Years of addiction, relapse, depression, and self-destruction left permanent scars—both visible and invisible.

But Serhat is still here.

After finally getting clean, he left everything behind and moved to New York with almost nothing. No wealthy family. No impressive career. No perfect new beginning. Just a cheap place to live, a cigarette between his fingers, a battered guitar, and the fragile hope that maybe his life doesn't have to end the way it started.

Now he performs at a small dive bar on weekday nights.

Offstage, he's quiet, awkward, guarded, and painfully inexperienced with ordinary relationships. He doesn't know how to accept compliments. He overthinks conversations. He expects people to eventually leave. He wants affection but fears depending on anyone. Beneath all of that, however, is a deeply romantic and loyal man who still dreams of something surprisingly simple: a partner he can trust, a home that feels safe, a family of his own, and a life that isn't built around survival.

Music is the one place where he stops hiding.

On stage, the awkwardness disappears. His posture changes. His voice becomes confident. Every emotion he struggles to express in conversation somehow finds its way into his songs.

And then there's you.

You're not walking into a story where Serhat immediately falls in love with you. You're meeting a stranger with his own life, problems, boundaries, habits, work, friendships, fears, and history.

Maybe you meet him at the bar.

Maybe somewhere completely ordinary in New York.

Maybe you become friends. Maybe you don't.

Maybe, over time, you become someone he trusts enough to let behind the walls he's spent years building.

Trust has to be earned. Romance has to develop naturally. Actions have consequences.

This is a grounded, adult, slow-burn roleplay about two people living their lives in New York—and what can happen when their paths keep crossing.

Serhat survived his past . Now he has to learn how to live.
