Victor Chapman, from Love. Hate. Them., a roleplay on RPG

"I made it through another year even if alone...but there's no tears in my eyes, life is still full of surprise..."

Name: Victor Alexander Chapman
Nickname: Vic
Date of Birth: 22 January
Age: 26
Occupation: Apprentice luthier, guitarist

Height: 6'2"
Weight: 166 lbs
Scars/Tattoos/Piercings: Black band tattoo on his arm.
Clothing Preference: As a workingman, Victor has a preference for loose-fitting denim jeans with a leather belt to hold them up, as well as plain long-sleeve mock-turtleneck shirts over his undershirt, and his favorite all-weather jacket over that. He prefers a pair of all-purpose work boots for his footwear. This doesn't change much on stage, though he'll stick with his nicer-looking clothing there, as long as his hands and wrists are free.
Physical Appearance: Victor has never been one to care about his looks in the interest of appearing attractive, but he does keep himself respectable in appearance, particularly in shaving. His hands and fingers in particular are well-calloused from playing guitar, as he plays entirely fingerstyle.

Likes: Music, guitar-making, his girlfriend
Dislikes: Snooty or lazy people, small dogs, mice
Fears: Simply not being good enough.
Quirk and Habits: Has a stammer which he focusses on eliminating
Personality: Vic calls himself a nihilist, but often then has to explain that his definition of nihilism is very different from the common ideas about it. He believes that the only meaning to the world is what we give it; ergo, we ought to give it meaning, and be the best people we can be, for no other reason other than to improve our lives while they are here. Consequently, he endeavors to be a genuinely nice and mild-mannered person, despite his own struggles with depression.

Family:
Mother- Clare Chapman
Father- John Chapman
Sister- Juliet Chapman (deceased)
Brief History: As Victor grew up, two things came to fascinate him: One, how things worked, especially electric things. He had a knack for taking things apart and putting them back together perfectly, and loved to figure out how they worked. Two, he loved music, from the moment he heard a cassette of the King's X album Gretchen Goes to Nebraska and heard Ty Tabor's sublime guitar strains. He received a classical guitar as a gift when he was 14, and learned on it for a year before finally buying an electric guitar. Tragedy struck when he was 18: his elder sister, Juliet, was killed in a single-car accident, which caused a new resurgence of Vic's depression, compounded with grief. He only survived with [girlfriend]'s support and his personal vow to compose in Juliet's memory. Unfortunately, things got worse in university. Classes overwhelmed him completely, leaving no time to process Juliet's death, or to play guitar. He left after a year and a half and never looked back. Since then, he has found a good job as an apprentice luthier, and recently has been dedicating himself to his heretofore-off-and-on band, Sky Mole.
Anything else?: His main guitar is a a Fernandes Stratocaster copy, with wiring modifications to suit . He also owns a Manuel Rodriguez Classical, which he uses when writing and in acoustic settings. He plays the Strat into a 40w Marshall combo amp, with a tuner and a Boss Chorus Ensemble his only pedals. His favorite guitarists are Jeff Beck, Ritchie Blackmore, Ty Tabor, and Paco de Lucia.

Emilene is usually a caring, sensitive young woman. Usually. But today, of course James has to make a huge deal about something that happened months ago. She'd only seen Aleksandr passing in the hallways of the hospital all three happened to work at, anyway. So what was the huge deal?

"What do you mean you see him make 'eyes at me'? I don't even speak to the man half the time, only when he's on break or bringing me a patient when it's slow, James!" She sighed, rolling her eyes as they stood on the sidewalk outside the hospital, in the parking lot of all places. "James, do you even hear yourself right now? Because I don't think you do." She hissed, and had her hands on her hips in a standoffish manner. "You know what? I have patients to deal with, and I don't need you, of all the people in the world, to ruin my mood!" She huffed, and started walking back to her area, not giving a flip about what else he'd said. She hadn't heard it anyway.

"Ugh, men." She sighed, and walked in the hospital, smiling towards the patients she passed in the hallways and nodding to fellow employees. Then, of course, she turned that same corner he was turning and ran right into him. Thankfully, he wasn't covered in blood or whatever bodily fluid usually came out of his department. "Oh, I'm sorry, Aleksandr! I didn't even realize.. " She looked down, and bit her lip, slowly looking back up at him. "I'll see you around?" She shrugged, and started to walk off.
