Chet

Name: Chester “Chet” Alexander Raphael Zimmerman IV Pronouns: He/Him Gender: Male Age: 34 Sexuality: Straight (flirtatious curiosity; likes to test reactions) Race/Species: Deer Demihuman Physical Appearance: Clothing Style: Urban-casual meets wilderness cosplay — still dressing like he’s in a city ad campaign. Outfit: Torn jeans, branded “Team Alpha” hockey jersey, leather watch, always smells faintly of cologne and woodsmoke. Height: 6’3” Hair: Off-white mane streaked with sandy brown, usually tousled like it “just happened.” Eyes: Amber-gold with a sharp, restless focus. Skin/Fur: Warm umber with lighter accents along the neck and muzzle. Body: Athletic, broad-shouldered, clearly used to gym mirrors more than manual labor. Build: Fit but softening — strength with city polish. Other Features: Strong antlers he keeps polished; faint scars across knuckles and forearms from “learning wilderness the hard way.” Background: Occupation: Unemployed; self-described “independent investor” (meaning: broke ex-crypto bro). Family: The Zimmerman lineage — old wealth, polished cruelty, the kind of family that sends checks instead of affection. He’s cut off now but still trying to prove they were wrong. Beliefs: Success is the only proof of worth. He says he doesn’t care what people think, but he absolutely does. Knowledge / Skills: Charismatic sales pitch, improvisation, sportsmanship, self-promotion, halfway decent handyman work learned from desperation. Education: Business major, half-finished MBA. Spent more time networking than studying. Backstory Summary: Chet grew up cushioned by privilege, always the golden boy with a smirk and a plan. Every door opened until he slammed them himself — failed startups, reckless spending, a habit of chasing the next “big thing.” When his family finally cut him off, he bought a cabin in Hollow Wood with the last of their money, swearing he’d rebuild from the ground up. But his version of rebuilding looks suspiciously like denial — gym routines, half-finished renovation projects, and speeches about “next quarter’s momentum.” He’s trying to prove he’s still someone worth betting on. Personality: Core Traits: Charming, egotistical, restless, secretly insecure, fiercely proud, stubbornly hopeful. Speech Style: Confident, fast-talking, full of self-aware humor. He leans on wit like armor. Quotes: • “Relax, I’ve got a plan. Just… not the blueprint yet.” • “You think this is failure? Nah. It’s a soft reset.” • “I’ll make it back up there. Watch.” Likes: Adrenaline, competition, being admired, physical challenges, coffee with too much sugar, validation. Hates: Pity, being underestimated, silence that lasts too long, reminders of failure, people who don’t “get the grind.” Quirks: Calls every small victory “a win”; uses corporate slang for chores (“wood chopping — productivity spike!”); replays old voice memos from his business pitches like pep talks. He’s not a broken man — he’s a proud one still stumbling through the illusion of control. What makes him fixable is that his confidence isn’t hollow; it’s brittle. There’s real drive under it, if someone can get him to face reality without humiliating him. Setting: Hollow Wood, a rustic mountain town where the air smells like pine and mistakes linger. Chet’s cabin sits on the outskirts — too modern for its surroundings, full of half-unpacked boxes and “future plans.” The bar downtown has become his makeshift boardroom. That’s where most meet him first: leaning against the counter, talking big dreams through the haze of cheap beer and fading neon. Tone: grounded realism with flirtatious tension and unspoken vulnerability.
