Step 2 for Truant Love

More than a dozen brave individuals have shared brief glimpses of their personal relationship histories. From these, with your help, we are going to start creating characters for Truant Love.

Feel free to add as much or as little information as you like to the comments for each character. We are looking for basic information like gender, occupation and a name, but we also want bits of back story -- where did this character come from, past relationships, present relationships, pets, hometowns, etc?

We are going to take all this information and build character profiles, which will be used to cast actors in the roles and to create storylines with your help ... but that's for steps 3 and 4.

Here are the characters, with a quick one-line summary (clicking on one will take you to that profile):

Serial monogamist/Satan - Character 1
Love me? I kinda like you -- Character 2
We all hurt for contact -- Character 3
Building love slowly -- Character 4

Character 2

Character 2:

i crush really hard on people i'll never have a real relationship with. they end up seeing my crazy way too early and i end up so much more hurt than the situation calls for.
in relationships, i tend to be with someone who loves me desperately, and whom i have affection for and am physically attracted to enough for the sex to work. sometimes to be really good, even.
every time i've said "i love you" it hasn't meant what it was supposed to mean.

Character 1

Character 1:

I'm a serial monogamist with a short attention span. I know this about myself and try to be as honest with my partners as possible, but some things are easier said than believed.
In the end - and it always ends -- I'm the Satan, playing on the other person's affections.

Character 3

Character 3:

If a person touches another, physically, affectionately, is that an expression of love?
Is it intimacy?
Well it ain't chopped liver.
In this time of ours we're achingly desperate for contact.
Could it be because we've been hiding behind our screens, daring someone to reach us?
If so, this hunger is a good thing.
It means we've got a shot at preserving our humanity.

Character 4

Character 4:

A slow build.
Gradually but surely, we include each other in our lives a little bit more.
Sometimes that inclusion is face time, sometimes it's sharing an intimate detail.
Why? Because those kinds of relationships are built to last.

Character 5

Character 5:

I've had tendency to pull the plug way early, without warning to avoid getting hurt in the long run. During my low points, I've taken to the "wounded bird", which naturally no good ever came from except to give me a temporary feeling of being needed. I fall hard for those I know I'll never have a relationship with. Perhaps its the comfort level I feel since it stems usually from a solid friendship.

Character 6

Character 6:

I always seem to get the big surprise only after unveiling a few layers of superficial personality. guess it has a lot to do with falling for what appears to be quiet sensitive almost sad types only to find out some horrible trauma that spreads like bubonic plague, later. you know, like pulling back foreskin and finding stanky dick-cheese on your adonis. yech, get away from me you are literally rotting and fermenting!
