hi! meet laws chen, laws being short for long wei, your local 42 year old architect, new york born and raised. he has two budgies named captain and coo, likes listening to classical music on full blast, and claims he "can't wait to turn 60 years old".
laws is the youngest in a chinese-american family full of daughters and was supposed to take over the chens' radiology lab, but went into architecture instead. he's very tired, very boring, and very routine as far as everyday life goes, with outdoorsy/physical hobbies like planting and fishing and martial arts and simpler hobbies like reading and collecting coins and watching nature documentaries. he's not necessarily anti-social, but he's more introverted than extroverted. that being said, he's also immensely ride or die for anyone who's earned his trust, and is the protective stoic-looking friend who tries to act as a voice of reason and more often than not ends up going along with shenanigans of all sorts anyway.
he's not into partying and clubbing or any of those fun nightlife-y things any more, but he'll come as a chaperone. that's how much he cares. he'll be your sober driver any day, ok. even if he bitches about it, he Worries. he's had his stupid partying phase, he'll be there to hold your hand the morning after too (just watch him leave the house in his pyjamas!!!). of course this doesn't just apply to ridiculous nightlife things. need a plus one for a family gathering? he's your man! nobody fakes being nice to people better than he does, even if he grumps a lot more in his personal life.
i'm looking for mates for him, work associates (fellow architects who work at the same firm! an assistant or two! the person responsible for marketing his designs!), people he's designed shit for, exes he's on good terms with, exes he's on bad terms with, former classmates, possible one night stands he regrets now that he's in his forties... the list goes on. as far as romance goes, i'm open! but i'd like to build a natural chemistry as opposed to plotting things extensively. laws is super monogamous and into serious relationships, also.
