PLOT WITH JOHN?

[align=center][div style="background=transparent; borderwidth=0px; bordercolor=; width: 500px; font-size: 8pt; line-height: 125%; text-align: justify; font-family: verdana; color: black"]hey mate! so here's my boy john, who's life revolves around getting drunk, getting laid, getting into fights, and getting laid. he's thirty, a bit of a giant (6'6"), and he cares about... well, nothing.

personality wise, john is a blatant, self-aware asshole. he doesn't care about what others think of him (unless he wants to sleep with you), while at the same time, he doesn't tend to get angry easily or hold grudges. he thinks any issue can be solved by a good old fashioned fist fight, and one of his favorite activities is fighting his friends while drunk. they beat the crap out of each other until they're sober, then laugh about it over another beer for... no real reason. the only thing he enjoys more is getting laid, and he will sleep with any woman sober, and anyone, men included, while intoxicated.

john is open to...
- drinking buddies / drinking with someone
- flirting / friends with benefits / one-night-stands
- friends, though these are often superficial and carry little meaning
- au's
- basic interactions, so long as you don't abandon it ten posts in
- people who dislike john, while he's apathetic in return
- friendly fights, since john is down to fight anyone
- most things? idk, i'm open to anything

i'm picky about...
- relationships. this would have to be slow burn and develop icly, since john has a lot of development to do before he's actually ready for a functional relationship. they would need to start out as friends / friends with benefits before progressing further.
- real friends. these people would just need to vibe well with john. his last group of friends all died rather suddenly, but he does have potential to be a wonderfully loyal and supporting friend.
- best friends. this would also need to be a sort of slow burn and develop icly, but anyone who makes it to best friend level would be considered family to john.
- adopting family. these would need to be younger characters, and non-aggressive types. people that john feels like are good people, and people he really wants to protect from how shitty the world is. shockingly, john is great older brother / father material deep, deep down.

john is closed to...
- any major injuries; that is, permanent things, or things that would hinder movement. black eyes, bruises, a few flesh wounds are all fine; but i don't want anything serious right now.
- death. i like john, would like to keep him around for a minute.

and ahh, i giggled when i wrote that. glad i'm not the only one who finds my shitty jokes funny!!

hmm, so cosmo is a hardcore lightweight, and super flirty while drunk, so maybe he could meet john after a one a couple of glasses and start to relentlessly flirt with him? like, he would switch to his native language (french / italian) in an attempt to impress him, and if that wouldn't work, he would just try to outright kiss the guy? and when he wakes up with a hangover, he'd be super flustered and tries to become john's friend to save himself the embarrassment. i'm not sure if this would work though, since their personalities contrast quite a bit.

[spoiler=updated 8/24][size=8pt]name: cosmo ricci
name meaning: cosmo is italian for ‘decency and beauty’, while ricci is italian for ‘curly’
gender: male
age: 27
birthday: february 19th, pisces
ethnicity: lebanese

personality:
- upbeat, optimistic, creative, entertaining, energetic, childish
- affectionate, motherly, friendly, big-hearted, trusting
- naïve, impulsive, clueless, indecisive, touchy, unpredictable, silly
- annoying, careless, impatient, gullible, moody, stubborn, dramatic

appearance: standing at 6’3 with a moderately skinny frame, cosmo can be considered fairly attractive for a man, if not a bit boy-ish. the first thing people tend to notice about him is his hair, which can best be described as a messy, dark brown, mop of curls. his skin is a lovely olive color, which complements his wide, if not owlish, hazel-colored eyes.

fashion: one things for sure, cosmo has an… interesting taste in clothing. when he’s not bundled up in a winter coat, boots, and ski-goggles, the adult can be found wearing a colorful assortment of sweaters, and shirts. the more clashing the colors, and the more ugly the design, the better. but do you know what the worst part is? he actually pulls it off.

voiceclaim / faceclaim : michael holbrook penniman jr.

other:
- loves to sing and dance, often found humming or whistling a tune
- kids? dogs? animals in general? he adores them all
- doesn’t know how to fight / can’t defend himself. pacifistic
- speaks french, english, italian, and spanish
