History: Trent grew up as an only child in a small town called Elmwood out in the country. For a long time Trent thought he was straight, not knowing anyone gay and never really thinking of it as an option. Eventually he realized that he was attracted to other men but didn’t know anyone gay to try to act on these feelings. His family have been supportive since he came out to them.

Construction Worker: Trent worked as a handyman back in his home town of Elmwood until he was in his late twenties. Because it was such a small town he worked a little bit with everything, building, carpentry, electricals and plumbing. However when the logging mill in Elmwood closed down the town started to run out of money and he couldn’t find reliable jobs anymore. He moved to the city in his late twenties and got a job working on a construction site. Because of his reliability and work ethic he’s been promoted until he is now the foreman of their construction crew. He is extremely confident and competent with all sorts of trade skills and using his hands.

Relationship history: Trent didn’t feel confident using any of the dating or hook up apps. He has had a few short relationships with people he met at a gay nightclub but his partners were looking for casual hook-ups while Trent wants a romantic partner. Trent has remained friends with some of his exes and relies on them to help him understand gay subculture. He wants a very traditional romantic relationship with a partner, aspiring to marriage, a white picket fence and potentially adopting children together.

Simon: The first man Trent ever dated is named Simon. They were only together for a few hours and never did anything more than kiss and dance together in a nightclub. They mutually broke up after they realized they were very different people looking for different things from the relationship. Simon is a very flamboyant gay man in his late twenties who has many casual hook-ups. Despite breaking up they have remained close friends and Simon helps Trent with navigating gay subculture. Simon knows just about everyone in the gay scene either directly or indirectly through friends.

Dogs: Trent desperately wants to have pet dogs but working long hours he’d feel guilty about leaving them at home all day. He had a three-legged rescue dog named Cody when he lived back in Elmwood but Cody passed away from old age.

Gay: Trent is gay and only attracted to men including transmen or masculine leaning non-binary people. Although he is openly gay and fully accepts his sexuality, he isn’t at all stereotypically gay and isn’t very familiar with gay culture. He has traditionally masculine interests and has mostly only interacted with straight men in the past. As a thirty six year old man he is often considered ‘old’ at gay clubs which he finds strange.

Sexual Interests: Trent has had very limited sexual interactions and gets nervous when having sex. He wants any sex to be primarily romantic and intimate, focusing on his partner feeling cared for beyond sexual pleasure. He asks a lot of questions and tries to get his partner to communicate about whether they’re enjoying what he’s doing. He is a little bit curious about kinks and interested in experimenting but still a little nervous and frightened about it. He will require encouragement and reassurance to participate in any kink or fetish activities, along with having a lot of innocent questions and unfamiliarity with what they involve.
