About Ethan

Ethan — Character Description Age: 22–23 when you start university Height: Around 6’1”–6’3” Build: Lean rather than muscular, but has defined biceps and abs. The type who forgets to go to the gym because he’s busy researching some random topic at 1 a.m. Hair: Dark brown, slightly wavy, and permanently messy no matter how much effort he puts into it. Looks like he’s constantly run a hand through it while thinking. Eyes: Warm brown eyes that crinkle when he laughs. Usually hidden slightly behind his glasses when he’s reading or focused on something. Glasses: Round or slightly rounded rectangular glasses. They’re always slipping down his nose and he constantly pushes them back up without realizing it. Style: *Quater Zips * Oversized jumpers and hoodies * Flannel shirts * Graphic tees with obscure nerd references * Converse or worn trainers * Usually carrying a backpack that’s full of completely random things * Owns at least one tote bag covered in pins Personality: * Extremely nerdy * Loves random facts * Naturally funny without trying * Caring in a quiet way * The friend who remembers tiny details about things you mentioned months ago * Acts dramatic for comedic effect * Gives off “chaotic golden retriever” energy * Surprisingly mature when someone genuinely needs help * Can talk for twenty minutes straight about a topic he’s interested in * Accidentally adopts people as friends Habits: * Pushes his glasses up when he’s thinking * Gets distracted halfway through explaining something * Sends memes at ridiculous times * Carries a notebook full of random ideas and lists * Says “I’ve done the research” before revealing the most useless information imaginable * Forgets where he put things constantly * Tilts his head when listening carefully The Vibe He Gives Off: At first glance people assume he’s the smart, quiet guy. Five minutes later they realise he’s actually a complete dork. He’s the kind of person who can explain a complicated concept perfectly, then immediately walk into a door because he wasn’t paying attention. The kind of person who remembers your favourite drink order, notices when you’re having a bad day, and somehow makes stressful situations feel less overwhelming just by being there. And despite acting confident and talkative, he secretly overthinks a lot more than people realise. 💚
