CHARACTER: Alex Campbell

Name: Alex Campbell

Gender: Male

Age: 26

Appearance: Eyes the color of gray skies after it rains. Brown hair that he never manages to get the curl out of, looking slightly disheveled at the best of times. Neatly trimmed mustache and goatee. He wears thick sweaters (in winter) and t-shirts (in summer) and faded jeans.

Description of past:
When Alex was 20 he fell in love with the girl of his dreams. When he was 21 he found her in bed with his best friend.

After a year of licking his wounds and learning to trust again, Alex fell in love with a psychology major with the most beautiful smile. She taught him to not be afraid of sharing his feelings and that seeing a shrink is a good way to resolve some of your issues. Six months later Alex arrived at his psychologist's office early and found his girlfriend undressed and under the Doctor.

Dumping the girl, and finding a new psychologist, Alex decided that if all women were just tramps and cheaters he could still spend time with them, but he wouldn't fall in love with them again. Since that time Alex has gone through innumerable girls and relationships that last no longer than a few months before he dumps them. Some girls only last long enough to be a one night stand.

Personality: He can be very caring, but because he has been burned so many times, he is cautious around new people.

Loves: dogs, Indian food, drive-in movies, and clear summer nights

Hates: seafood, fixing broken pipes, & cheating girlfriends

Biggest flaw: He is distrustful of women, and has a difficult time connecting with people ever since his best friend betrayed him.

One thing he wants more than anything in the world: He thinks it is to live the high life as a rich bachelor, but what he really wants is to find a girl he can trust.
