StitchedResidence: The Kensington, Apt 202, with his wife, Brooklyn, 41, and son, Jordan, 21
Appearance Details: Tanner is tall and athletically built. His golden brown hair tends to get naturally darker in the winter and lighter in the summer. Beyond his height, his bright green eyes are his most striking feature. He has no piercings or tattoos and he doesn’t plan on getting any anytime soon. He’s masculine in his mannerisms and his voice is deep and clear. He is a stylish dresser, often wearing the most current trends in fashion, although, that said, he likes to put his personal touch on things, too.
Personality: Generally easygoing, Tanner sort of just goes with the flow. He rarely gets worked up when drama arises or things go wrong because, as far as he is concerned, either something was done half-ass or, well, entirely wrong from the start. He figures, why get all worked up when that energy can be used to make things right? He has a passion for his work, but is not what one would consider a workaholic. He knows how to balance his professional life with his private, which is no small accomplishment, seeing as he owns his own business. He’s a man of his word; however, for very personal reasons, that is becoming harder and harder for him to achieve. He's a doting dad and loving husband...for now.

Likes: Tanner has a thing for older partners, as well as those in positions of authority, and prefers for them to be in control of the relationship. He likes to relax on the weekends, after giving his all to his business during the week. He enjoys spending time with his family, regardless of the fact that he works with them, but really likes his alone time, too.
Dislikes: Tanner cannot stand when someone, whom he is not close to, asks personal questions about himself or his family. He hates being the center of attention and rarely takes a compliment well. He’d rather serve than be served.
Ons: He likes his women to be feminine and his men to be masculine. He enjoys being the submissive and being told what to do, when to do it, and how to do it, but he can easily take the top role, too. He loves foreplay and lots of kissing. He’s a hugger, a spooner, and a cuddler.
Offs: He dislikes poor hygiene, in particular, bad teeth and breath. He loathes cutesy pet names and when individuals don’t know the difference between what’s appropriate in public versus private.
Additional Details: Tanner is fluent in French, Spanish, and German. He's left-handed. His Harley, which he tends to ride only on the weekends, is his pride and joy. He's a formal wear fetishist, which should come as no surprise, seeing as he owns a clothing store and is a trained tailor. He also has a thing for men in uniforms.

Antonio Vasquez
Nicknames: Ant, Tony, Neo, Vasq
Age: 21
Sex: Male
Birthday: October 30th, 1993
Height: 5’10”
Sexual Orientation: Gay, but also “Straight for Pay”
Occupation: Personal Trainer, Exotic Dancer & Escort
Residence: Parker Commons, Apt 103
Appearance Details: As you can see, the camera loves Antonio and, well, he knows it. His jet black hair is usually kept neat and trim, although, during the winter months he’ll let it get a bit longer. He has pierced ears and nips, as well as the makings of a tattoo sleeve, which he's started on his upper left arm. He’s got a natural swagger that he tends to play up and his voice is deep with a noticeable accent. Even in the dead of winter, Antonio dresses like it's a hot night in Havana. If he can show some skin, he most certainly will.
Personality: Antonio is flirty and fun. He prefers to live in the moment, rarely dwelling on the past or properly planning for the future, which often leads to him being a bit more adventurous than most. When he sees an opportunity, he jumps on it, full force, all in, with little to no regrets. From time to time, he can be a bit sullen when he hasn’t had enough sleep or, more importantly, hasn’t had what he feels is enough action in the bedroom. He’s outgoing and outspoken, but does his best not to rub people the wrong way. He wants those around him to have a good time, no matter what, but he also wants them to remember him fondly, not as an annoyance.

Between training, hustling, and dancing he ends up working nearly 70+ hours a week, but by the end of the year his disposable income is roughly 40k - seeing as most of what he makes is under the table - which he spends mostly on clothes, jewelry, and video games.
August 3rd, 2014 - After seeing a particularly striking photo of a half-naked David Beckham, Antonio decides to get his first tattoo. It's a shoulder tat that will more than likely end up producing a full sleeve on his left arm.
Likes: Antonio likes anything and everything that involves the human body, from recreational sports and working out in the gym to sex, sex, and more sex, wherever, whenever, and however. He likes puppies and playing video games, too, as well as chocolate. Lots and lots of chocolate.
Dislikes: Antonio hates not having a nicer place to live and regrets not getting his drivers license at an earlier age. He hates it when people treat him like shit because he doesn’t have a high school diploma.
Ons: You name it, Antonio’s ready, willing, and more than able!
Offs: Nothing is too taboo in his book...for the right price.
Additional Details: Spanish is Antonio’s native language. He's ambidextrous. He doesn’t have a drivers license, which is probably a good thing, since he doesn’t know how to operate a car. He has natural rhythm, so he's a really good dancer, and he's great with his hands, which helps in his line of work when offering massages.
