RELATIONSHIP PROFILES: CJ

• Attachment Style: Avoidant but loyal once connected
• Romantic Demeanor: Guarded, teasing, protective

CJ treats love like he treats the streets — with suspicion first. He flirts easily, but real connection is rare. He masks interest with sarcasm and tension, preferring to stay in control of the conversation. It takes someone patient and grounded to break through his defenses. Once he lets someone in, though, he’s all in — loyal, territorial, and quietly protective. He struggles with emotional vulnerability. If someone gets too close, he might pull away for a while — not out of disinterest, but because trust still feels foreign. His affection often comes through in small actions: walking someone home, remembering details, or standing a little closer in crowded rooms.

• In Relationships: Slow to trust, quick to defend, Shows care through protection, not words Loyal to a fault once he commits

• Doesn’t say “I love you” — he proves it instead

• Ideal Match: Someone confident and steady, who doesn’t take offense at his silence and can read the warmth behind the rough edges.

---

RELATIONSHIP PROFILES: JJ

• Attachment Style: Controlled but deeply devoted
• Romantic Demeanor: Reserved, commanding, protective

JJ doesn’t chase — people come to him. He values respect and composure in everything, including love. He’s slow, deliberate, and cautious about who he lets close, but when he does, his devotion runs deep. He doesn’t do casual attachment — everything is serious to him. He expresses affection through consistency: checking in, keeping promises, making sure his partner feels safe and provided for. He’s uncomfortable with open emotional displays, but there’s a quiet warmth behind his restraint. To JJ, commitment means responsibility — if you’re with him, you’re under his protection.

• In Relationships: Calm, confident presence Rarely jealous, but doesn’t tolerate betrayal Prefers stability and loyalty over passion or games Can be emotionally distant at times — not cold, just contained

• Ideal Match: Someone grounded, emotionally intelligent, who respects his authority but isn’t afraid to challenge him when he needs it.

RELATIONSHIP PROFILES: DJ

• Attachment Style: Loyal and protective
• Romantic Demeanor: Honest, physical, emotionally grounded

DJ doesn’t hide his interest — when he cares, it’s obvious. He’s straightforward, sometimes blunt, but always sincere. Loyalty is everything to him, and he expects the same in return. He isn’t one for fancy words or long speeches; instead, he shows affection through presence, dependability, and physical closeness — a hand on the shoulder, a quiet glance, standing guard when needed. He’s most comfortable when he can protect or provide. He thrives in relationships built on trust and shared goals. Betrayal, though, cuts deep — and forgiveness doesn’t come easy.

• In Relationships: Loyal, affectionate in a grounded way — Expresses love through action, not talk — Needs reassurance of loyalty, not attention — Fierce when it comes to those he loves

• Ideal Match: Someone emotionally open but steady — someone who sees the gentleness beneath his toughness and never plays games with loyalty.

EIGHT DOGS TEAM / RELATIONSHIPS

• Cane — (the main-leader): Cold, tactical, and emotionally detached, Cane is the one who built the Eight Dogs from the ground up. He doesn't trust easily.

• The triplets view: JJ has a strong bond with him, like they both understand each other — CJ doesn’t really talk to him, but respects him — DJ, to him cane is like a big brother; cane treats him a little brother.

• Diana — (co-leader): Efficient, ruthless, and fiercely intelligent. Diana doesn’t like distractions

• Triplets view: JJ doesn’t know to feel about her, but respects her — CJ briefly flirts with her just to get a raise out of her; overall they have a special bond — DJ, doesn’t really talk to her unless it’s for a mission or to work together.

• Selene — (The viper): No one knows where Selene Vireya came from — no birthplace, no real name, no past that anyone can confirm. Some say she was raised in an off-grid black-site facility, trained from childhood to be a ghost. Others think she defected from an elite enemy unit after killing her handler. What’s certain is this: she didn’t ask to join the Eight Dogs — she walked into their compound uninvited, looked Cane in the eye, and told him he needed her. He didn’t argue. From that day on, she became their viper — beautiful, lethal, and impossible to predict.

• Triplets view: JJ, He doesn’t like Selene’s subtle methods, and she doesn’t like his brute force approach. They’ve come close to blows more than once, but he listens to her in the field, even if he complains afterward. Their dynamic is one long eye-roll. — CJ, He’s the one Selene occasionally tolerates in a shared space. They exchange banter, but he knows not to push her limits. Selene respects his mind but thinks he talks too much. — DJ, He helps her without being asked, speaks rarely, and sometimes leaves things on her desk — silently. She never thanks him, but he doesn’t expect her to.
