"And though my heart is falling too, I'm in love with your body..."

x Name x:

Dean Rinder

x Age x:

25

x Personality x:

Dean is absolutely the disappointment of his family - he grew up posh, well groomed, taken care of, and definitely with above average funds. But such a dull and proper life was never for him right from the start. He was a rebel, he was the kid mother's warned their sons from hanging out with, and warned their daughters from being with. And while his attention seeking behavior was more typical of a emotionally starved and less fortunate boy, he was really neither of those things. He just looks at like a day at a time. He doesn't worry much about what will come in the future because looking to the future always leaves a lacking in the presence. He wants to live his life to the fullest, and that means doing it his way, uncaring of the backlash it might get from his family and sometimes even his friends. If you thought for a moment you could predict his next move, you were wrong. What's living life without living on the edge every once in a while? - or, all the time?

x Background x:

As mentioned, Dean grew up wealthy, a lawyer father and a nurse mother, he's the middle child between an older sister and a younger brother. Somewhere, something just have just gone wrong with him - which his siblings were happy to follow in the family footsteps, it was far too vanilla for Dean's tastes, and so he found himself in quite a questionable profession - one that his family would rather just ignore was the case, or at least keep it under lock and key - yes, that profession was to be a male dancer. An exotic dancer. a professional, sensual dancer - in Layman's terms, a stripper. And he loves every moment of it. The adoration of googly eyed women, the money he makes that didn't come out of his daddy's wallet and in this cruel world is comparative to his sibling's more professional rates, the adrenaline of never knowing what's going to happen next...it was all too appealing to the guy who knew his body's worth, who knew he had a pretty face, and wasn't afraid to show it off. Stage fright? Camera shy? Not in the least. It's energizing.

That being said, Dean doesn't have any relationship with his family who would much rather pretend that he doesn't exist, and had found a lot of refuge and family spirit with quite a few different characters...drug addicts, fellow strippers, male /and/ female from the other side of the club, and all of the other dastardly characters of the night. He himself has been drinking more and more frequently, but he'd be hard pressed to admit any problem. Most of his money goes toward exorbitant things; a nice car, keeping up his appearance, booze, his friends, his late nights, and a barrage of other needless items, all the while he lives in a fairly run down flat with at least 3 or 4 other people at any given time. It's hard to say if Dean will ever realize the value of a safer life or worry about the future.

While his act tends to change from time to time, right now he's the headliner at the club, his act consisting of something pulled from his own imagination and that's the "Mr. Grey". They pick a lucky participant from the audience, placing them on the stage in a chair where they're lightly bound for effect, and he proceeds to discard clothing as he goes with some sensual movement to the participant. Needless to say, it's been a major hit, and a star was born - even if only for a 10 minute act in shabby hole in the wall surrounded by people who will never remember his name.

x Scenario x:

On your 21st birthday, your friends manage to drag you out to the strip club - to which you are highly skeptical. After having a drink or two to calm your nerves, thinking about how your parents would never approve, you sit down and get ready for the show to begin. It's definitely lewd, and your friend's whistles and howls only make it that much more embarrassing...but nothing could have prepared you to be called up on stage to be a part of the final act! (as described above) When the show's over, you find your heart palpitating, your body feels warm, your eyes are set on the headliner - what is this? You're love-struck!
