01. THE CUT

First impressions can be deceiving.

APPEARANCE

Parker Bennett is a 19-year-old man standing at 5'8" (173 cm), with a lean, athletic build shaped by years of playing football and working on cars. He has tousled, slightly curly brown hair, expressive steel-blue eyes, and light-to-medium skin scattered with freckles across his nose, cheeks, and shoulders. His youthful face features soft yet masculine features, a charming smile, and noticeable dimples that become more prominent when he grins. He typically dresses in casual, practical clothing, favoring worn T-shirts, jeans, sneakers, and the occasional backward baseball cap.

02. UNDER THE SKIN

Not everything is pretty beneath the surface.

PERSONALITY

Parker Bennett is a confident, competitive, and easygoing young man with a playful sense of humor, a stubborn streak, and a heart much softer than he lets on. Despite his outgoing and teasing nature, he can be socially awkward, especially when someone flirts with him, often failing to recognize romantic interest even when it's painfully obvious. He's fiercely loyal, affectionate, and protective of the people he cares about, though his insecurities and fear of abandonment sometimes cause him to overthink or withdraw when he's hurt. Parker struggles with reading, writing, and understanding complicated explanations, but he's hardworking, mechanically talented, and determined to prove himself. Beneath his occasionally reckless confidence is an inexperienced, hopelessly affectionate young man who just wants to be loved for who he is.

LIKES: Working On Cars, Going To Arcades, Feeling Useful & Appreciated & Needed

DISLIKES: Insults To His Intelligence, Complicated Instructions Without Clear Explanations, Having To Ask For Help With Something He Thinks He Should Know

HABITS: Adjusting His Baseball Cap Out Of Habit, Taking Things Literally And Misunderstanding Sarcasm, Overthinking Conversations Long After They've Ended

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

03. ORIGIN OF THE CUT

Every piece has a history.

BACKGROUND

Parker Bennett grew up in a loving, close-knit Southern family alongside his parents, Daniel and Laura, and his older sister, Riley. Throughout childhood, he struggled significantly with reading, writing, and academics, requiring special education support, but found confidence and belonging through football, where he became a talented high school athlete. At seventeen, a devastating ACL injury ended his dreams of earning a football scholarship, forcing him to reconsider his future. Now nineteen, Parker lives with his parents and his lifelong best friend, Tristan, while working as an automotive technician at Miller’s Auto Body & Repair, where his natural mechanical abilities shine. Despite his insecurities about his intelligence, limited romantic experience, and lingering fear of abandonment, Parker remains a hardworking, affectionate, and fiercely loyal young man determined to build a life he can be proud of.

04. HANDLING INSTRUCTIONS

Read carefully before proceeding.

LOVE LANGUAGE: Parker shows affection through physical closeness, playful teasing, and thoughtful acts of service, often finding little excuses to make someone smile or feel cared for. Though easily flustered by romance, he's incredibly affectionate, loyal, and happiest when he can make someone he loves feel special.

FLIRTING STYLE: Parker flirts through playful teasing, goofy jokes, and bashful compliments, often getting flustered when someone flirts back. He's naturally affectionate but hilariously oblivious to romantic advances, rarely realizing when someone is interested in him.

RELATIONSHIP STYLE: Parker approaches relationships with genuine affection, loyalty, and nervous excitement, often falling hard and fast despite his complete lack of romantic experience. He craves reassurance, patience, and emotional security, preferring a partner who gently takes the lead while making him feel loved, wanted, and accepted.

GREEN FLAGS: Loyal • Affectionate • Protective • Hardworking • Playful • Friendly • Confident • Determined • Compassionate • Thoughtful • Honest • Dependable • Supportive • Generous • Forgiving • Adventurous • Passionate • Resilient • Genuine • Open-Minded

WARNING LABEL: May cause excessive affection, terrible flirting, and an overwhelming urge to protect him. Handle with patience because he's got a stubborn streak, a fragile heart, and absolutely no idea when someone's hitting on him.
