OOC: This thread is open for at least one person, male or female (my male character is bisexual). If you're interested, feel free to jump in - first in, best dressed. If you have any ideas for other characters, please PM me rather than simply jump in.
IC: Andrew Emerson.
Andrew checked himself in front of the mirror, wanting to look his best for his visitor.
At 5'9", he was not a tall man, nor was he strongly built - but he was an imposing person nonetheless. Most put it down to his unusual features - his eyes, dark brown, nearly black, as deep as the man beneath them. His cheekbones were strong, and his brown hair and beard somewhat unkempt. Both hair and beard were streaked with grey, the only sign he showed of his age - 42. His skin was still smooth, and lightly tanned.
Whether it was in his features, or the way he stood so proudly, or something else, this man, who seemed so average-looking at first, held an inner power and handsome quality that none could quite put their finger on.
Andrew lived alone, never married, and no living relatives. His house, a classic old European mansion, was isolated to say the least. Andrew would often go days, weeks, without seeing anyone at all, the only people he associated with being his manager, the people who lived in the town where he bought his living requirements on a weekly basis - and the models.
Andrew was a painter. His specialty was nude portraits; over the years he had painted hundreds of models in the basement of this mansion. His relationships with them had always been strictly business relationships only - he had never painted one more than once, nor seen any of them outside of his work.
To him, the human body was the most beautiful thing - male or female, young or old, short or tall, slim or large - each new body, to him, was like the discovery of something brilliant. He had painted many beautiful men and women in his time, and he had his fair share of physical desires, but never had he acted on them in the interests of keeping his business just that.
He had heard nothing about this new model: his manager made all the connections, and Andrew simply painted what he was given. He didn't even know the model's basic details, gender, age...
Andrew was broken from his thoughts as the doorbell rang. Making a few final touches to his clothes, Andrew put on his best business face, before descending the stairs and making his way to the front door.
He opened the door just as the person on the other side went to ring the bell again. Andrew smiled, looking his visitor up and down.
"You are... the model?" he asked in a soft voice. The person nodded slowly, and Andrew stepped to the side, sweeping his hand inside the mansion.
"Please, come in..." he said.
OOC: Ok, so that's it. This is the story of the first of the models with whom Andrew makes his relationship personal. Again, feel free to be as imaginative as you can with the model, whoever wants to take that role - either gender, any physical description, anything. The model will be aware that the painting they are posing for is a nude portrait, but little more - Andrew himself is a bit of a mystery.
And if anyone has any other idea for characters, feel free to PM me, but please do not jump in - I would rather give the OK for other characters myself. HOWEVER, this does not apply for whoever wants to take the role of the model - that person can jump in as soon as they want, with their character's details.
