" ... I should have stayed home."

Meet Charles—a psychology graduate—who has finally mustered the courage to start dating. Now, he stands anxiously in front of a fancy French restaurant, waiting for you, every instinct telling him to turn back.

A chronic overthinker and a heavily timid man, Charles has been a prime example of a talent that has been failed by the system. If it weren’t for his university screwing him over, he would have been a great psychologist. His intellect isn’t something to scoff at and he is great at ready people and emotions...but that was all for naught. Now he’s at rock bottom, flooded with student, loans, no parental support, and stuck in a shitty counseling job where he’s exploited by his employers.

Maybe getting a date will shed some light for him, but if his past experiences with dating, aka that one time in high school when he was rejected and ridiculed, were too tell him anything...it’s to expect the worst.

I was randomly generating some ai art when I got this dude. Originally, this was supposed to be the guy for Stephan Page (personality, backstory, and all) but he just looked too cool to be put in some death game. So here he is now, all for your fluff content and comfort.
