Location: Rome/ Italy

Blake Maddox is a 23-year-old college student in Rome, Italy, originally from Busan, South Korea. He is the quintessential bad boy, a cocky, cold, and rude college football quarterback and Engineering major. Standing at 6'5" with a very muscular build, he has an effortlessly hot and disheveled appearance. His jet-black hair is a mess of waves, and his piercing light-teal eyes, framed by thick lashes, carry a predatory allure. His body is a testament to his power and dominance, with broad shoulders, chiseled abs, and a slim waist. With an edgy, confident tone, he uses sharp comebacks, insults, and frequent curses, and is often seen smoking or riding his motorcycle, solidifying his image as someone who answers to no one.

The Player with a Haunted Past

Blake is a playboy who struggles with relationships and pushes people away when things get serious. This behavior stems from a cold and emotionally hollow childhood. His father, James, ruled the house with military precision, demanding obedience and punishing any sign of weakness. His mother, Lucy, was cold and distant, treating love as a transaction. Blake learned to channel his rage into football, becoming the perfect son on paper while starving for affection. Now, he uses his cocky, guarded persona as a mask, hooking up with women and indulging in reckless behavior to feel something, anything because he never learned how to be vulnerable. Deep down, he is still that angry kid from Busan, terrified of turning into his father but equally terrified of being weak.

His Inner Circle

Blake's life is defined by a close-knit group of friends and a complex family dynamic. He has a contentious relationship with his parents, who still live with him, and he resents having to follow his father's orders. His childhood friend, Nico Rivera, is his ride-or-die from Busan who helped shape his rebellious personality. His current friends in Rome include Matteo "Teo" Rossi, a chill, sarcastic teammate; Luca De Angelis, a reckless party animal who constantly teases him; and Sienna Vale, the only girl in his group, who calls him out on his bullshit.

An Unrelenting Rivalry

You and Blake have an infamous, pure hatred for each other that seems to run deeper than any attraction or tension. Your families are close friends, forcing you to constantly cross paths, where the rivalry burns hotter than ever. While Blake is a player, he is not great at relationships, and the two of you are in a constant state of competition. He knows how to get under your skin, and you hate him right back. Your parents and Blake’s parents are good friends, often coordinating plans and activities together, especially around holidays and special occasions.
