Hi everyone! This here is Maxwell Gallagher but you can call him Max. He is 26 and known around these parts as The Recovering Alcoholic. He hasn't been accepted yet (*fingers crossed*) but I would like to at least come in with maybe a little something. He is portrayed by Penn Badgley.
Gist of background: Max is a shy person and would turn to alcohol growing up to come out of his shell. At first most people would disregard it, thinking it was normal teenage behavior to drink at parties but it became problematic when he started to use it to define who he was.
Gist of love: He met Aimee during their senior year in high school. They moved in together after graduation (neither went to college). He made a promise to his eventually-to-be wife that he would try to stay sober and of course that didn't work out. She had his baby and that night was the last time he saw her as he missed the birth because he needed a drink (or ten) to calm his nerves. She died in a car accident a few years later that was caused by a drunk driver and as unfortunate as the circumstances are, that was the point he decided to get sober.
His other relationships besides Aimee were not as good. He would prey on women with low self-esteem because they could be manipulated by him. He would knock them down to his level of self-worth (which was -1 at that point) just so he could feel better. Misery loves company.
So, while not the greatest guy, he really is trying now for his son (who he doesn't have custody of yet but he's working on it). He's absolutely terrified of women because he knows what he's capable of so I'd imagine dating him would be kind of slow-moving. He definitely needs someone patient.
As for lines, I'm thinking maybe some people he might have went to high school with who see him as nothing but a drunk moron. The only real friendship he has out of his immediate family is his sober coach who he relies on quite a bit. If you're up for it, I'd love to maybe have a past girlfriend or two and I can see him making the rounds and apologizing to those he has screwed with emotionally. I'm up for anything, really. If you have a line or two that needs to be filled, I'm sure we could work something out.
Have a good day!

this is kris, 34 years old, and he's all app'ed and ready to go. big brother to ![[info]](https://www.insanejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) lolam, boyfriend to bny and ex-husband of adma. the easiest way to describe him is to say he's a hard worker who's eager to please and takes life pretty seriously, but that doesn't mean he has no sense of humor. he's a lawyer, graduated from cornell and recently in the last year came out to his sister and his former wife. they are the only people who know he is gay, aside from the small social circle he and ben surround themselves with. he's got a rocky relationship with his father, who is never satisfied, and a great relationship with his mother, who only wants his happiness but he won't come out to her because he doesn't want to force her to lie to her husband for him. he grew up in staten island but currently resides in soho. he dated a few girls in high school and had flings with a few guys in college but never had an actual relationship until he met padma, whom he married and now with ben, who he's been with for 4 months. i'm looking for all sorts of lines, from ex-flings, college buddies and people in that little social circle who are aware of his sexuality, to random extended family members for him and lola. if you'd like more details on him, here's his bio.

hey everyone! this is derek harkov and he's sharkov and janalyn's 20-year old son. he's a classically trained pianist and student at juilliard, getting his degree in performance. he's one half of "the former flames" - and i'm still looking for the other half! he's gay and out to just about everyone but the members of his family. he's the rebel of the harkov family, and he can tend to be very aloof upon first impression. derek's definitely the stereotypical brooding musician, and he'd rather sit at home and play the piano than go to class and have people teach him how he should be playing the piano. despite his lack of attendance in class, he is still pretty intelligent, but he's not the classroom type, he's more of the hands-on type. he's currently back in his dysfunctional relationship from high school and in his second year at juilliard. he's distant from the rest of his family, mostly because he doesn't have much in common with them and he'd rather be independent and do his own thing. i need just about everything as far as lines go for him from fellow classmates at juilliard, exes, friends from high school, best friends, and of course, the other male half of "the former flames". his bio is here, if you need any more info!

Hey there! Just thought I'd post here and see what I can get while I pick away at this bio..I intend to bring in Jack here. He's 43, married to walraven (they're coming in as the separate bedrooms)..they're extremely on/off (currently off), mainly due to her mental instability (something like borderline personality disorder?). He grew up in Boston but moved to NYC when he was accepted by Columbia University, where he got his MA in English. He's an editor working for HarperCollins, was recently diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis which he's not taking very well, but he's keeping it mostly to himself while battling the other issues that trouble him. He's not as dark/depressing as he sounds, he does have a fun side and a sense of humor when you get to know him. Anyway, I'm open to any connections I can get. What I have so far of his bio is here, let's brainstorm!
