[CS] AJS Roleplaying Character Sheets

[AJS Roleplaying]

Name: Auren Jalen Thorne (Faceclaim)
Nickname: AJ
Age: 27
Height: 5'9"
Appearance: AJ has short, tousled dark brown hair that he often runs his hands through when he's irritated or deep in thought. His most striking feature is his piercing green eyes - sharp and unyielding, often mistaken for coldness but really a mask for the vulnerability he rarely shows. He's lean and athletic, built more like a fencer than a soldier, though he's trained in both. Scars trace along his forearms and one faint line runs from his jaw to his collarbone - a memory of his last battlefield before the treaty.

Background: AJ is the firstborn of the ruling house of Velastra, a mountainous, strategic kingdom known for its military precision and deeply embedded codes of honour. Raised in a court where loyalty to country was prized above personal desire, AJ was groomed from a young age to be a future general, not a groom in a political marriage. His upbringing was strict, rigid, and filled with expectation, and while he fulfilled every one of them, it left him emotionally walled off, fiercely disciplined, and wary of affection that comes with strings attached.

Personality:

• Stubbornly Loyal: AJ would bleed for Velastra without hesitation. He views the treaty with suspicion, and the arranged marriage as a concession he resents - but will follow through with, because duty is everything.
• Highly Principled: AJ has a deeply ingrained sense of right and wrong, even if it sometimes clashes with practicality. He holds honour in the highest regard and expects the same from others.
• Blunt, Guarded, and Sarcastic: On the surface, AJ is cool, formal, and often curt. But under pressure, his dry wit surfaces. He can be sharp-tongued, especially when he's feeling threatened or cornered emotionally.
• Starved for Connection: Despite his harsh exterior, there's a deep loneliness in AJ. He's tired of being a symbol, tired of hiding his real thoughts. He craves someone who will see him—not the prince, not the weapon of Velastra, but Auren.

Currently starring in The Quiet Flame (AJS Roleplaying x Yraelin)

Name: AJ Stanton (Faceclaim)
Age: 20
Background: Orphaned son of a once-prosperous merchant family, fallen into ruin due to scandal and debt.
Occupation: Footman or valet in the household of the debutante's family.

Personality
Thomas is quietly intelligent, emotionally perceptive, and deeply loyal. He is not a man of many words, but those he speaks are measured and meaningful. Years in service have taught him to observe without being observed, to listen more than he speaks—skills that serve him well. Beneath his calm demeanour lies a quietly burning ambition and an aching, unspoken love for the woman he cannot have… yet.

Despite his low station, he carries himself with an innate dignity that hints at the finer education he once received before his family's fall from grace. He believes in earning one's place in the world, but the class barriers frustrate him—especially when they stand between him and the woman he loves.

Physical Description
Tall and broad-shouldered from years of labour, Thomas has a composed, stoic presence. His dark hair is kept neatly trimmed, and his deep green eyes seem to miss nothing. His hands are calloused from honest work.

Currently starring in The Lives We Didn't Choose (AJS Roleplaying x Kita-san)

Name: Adrian 'AJ' Carlson Jr. (Faceclaim)
Age: 36
Occupation: Architect (specializing in restoring historic buildings)
Current Relationship: Married for seven years to Serena, a high-profile corporate lawyer. No children. Their marriage has become more of a formal arrangement than a partnership — cold, civil, and built around routine rather than connection.

Personality: Quietly magnetic, introspective, and deeply observant. AJ carries a natural warmth beneath a reserved exterior. He listens more than he speaks, often lost in thought. He has an old soul kind of charm — the kind that feels like coming home to someone you've never met. Deep down, he's a romantic who's forgotten how to believe in magic.

Background: Originally from a small coastal town, AJ moved to the city in his mid-20s, chasing purpose and success. He built a career he's proud of but realizes it's not fulfilling him the way he hoped. Somewhere along the way, he stopped creating for joy and started creating to stay distracted.

Appearance: Short dark brown hair with a few early threads of grey, often swept back by tired fingers. Deep green eyes, like a sky before a storm, always seeming to search for something he can't quite name. Tall, lean build, always dressed a little too neatly — like someone who wants to feel in control, even when he isn't.

Current State: AJ is quietly unraveling. He spends late nights sketching buildings that don't exist, walking streets he's memorized just to feel something shift. He's haunted by the sense that something is missing — not in a dramatic way, but in that low hum of sadness that never quite goes away. He doesn't know what he's waiting for, only that he's waiting.

Conflict: AJ is loyal to a life that looks good on paper but feels hollow in practice. He's terrified of blowing it all up just for a feeling — especially when he isn't even sure what that feeling is. But then, he meets her. A stranger who sees him without trying. Someone whose sadness mirrors his own. And suddenly, he begins to wonder if the life he built was ever really his at all.

Currently starring in My Best Friend's Dad (AJS Roleplaying x intelligenceseeker)

Name: Adrian Whitaker (Faceclaim)
Age: 54
Appearance:
Adrian stands at an imposing 6'4", with a lean, athletic frame that suggests a lifetime of discipline and movement. His broad shoulders and long limbs give him a natural elegance, but there's a quiet power in the way he carries himself - like a man who could still lift heavy loads without breaking a sweat. His greying hair, once jet black, is kept short and stylish, brushed back in a way that hints at his meticulousness. A well-groomed salt-and-pepper beard frames his strong jaw and high cheekbones. His piercing blue eyes have a softness when he smiles, which is rare, but disarming when it happens.

Clothing Style:
Adrian favours timeless, well-fitted clothes - dark jeans, crisp button-downs, soft leather jackets - and never looks like he's trying too hard. In warmer weather, his minimalist swim trunks and sun-kissed skin reveal the subtle definition of a man who swims daily and still does push-ups in the morning.

Personality:
Adrian is thoughtful, reserved, and self-assured. He's the kind of man who listens more than he speaks, and when he does speak, his voice carries weight. There's a quiet magnetism about him - not flashy, but deeply charismatic. He can be both stern and tender, often protective, especially of his daughter.

Background:
A former naval officer turned architect, Adrian now works freelance, consulting on sustainable housing projects. He lost his wife, Claire, ten years ago to a sudden illness. Since then, he's dedicated himself to raising their daughter, Leah, now 23, with care and integrity. They share a close bond - built on mutual respect, the occasional teasing, and a lot of unspoken understanding.

Notable Traits:​

• Speaks fluent French, picked up during deployments in Europe.​
• Excellent cook - specializes in Mediterranean cuisine, something Claire loved.​
• His grief runs deep, but he carries it like a stone in his pocket: always there, but no longer visible.​
• Has a dry wit and a half-smile that only shows when he's truly amused.​

Reputation (from others):
Neighbours describe Adrian as "the guy who makes you stand up straighter around him" - effortlessly cool, mysterious, and, according to several women at the community pool, "undeniably, distractingly attractive." There's frequent speculation about his romantic life, but he keeps it all extremely private.​
