Cam (nickname)

Your average Karen from Finance, with a lot of pent-up snark, sass and saltiness.

28

Male

5'11"

164 lbs.

Square, pretty average and proportionate limbs, a bit of extra body fat that makes him more soft than sturdy.

Black

Buzz cut

Human; African-American, Hispanic.

Dark, bark brown, red undertones.

Chestnut brown.

A generally pouty face, frowns a lot at his desk while working. Plump, smooth lips, would rather die than let them get chapped because ew. Has been cursed with an eternal baby-face, and consequently people always think he's younger than he actually is.

ADD that he keeps under wraps and under very tight control, has two pill organizers for work as well as home. Has gotten a third one for when he stays over at Danny's

His Spanish accent slips up when he's talking particularly fast. Snaps his fingers a lot when making a point or for emphasis.
Speaks very concisely, doesn't mince words. Curses a lot casually around close friends, but knows how to restrain himself. Has a throaty, scratchy quality to his voice that sometimes prompts acquaintances into repeatedly asking if he's coming down with something.
If he hears a song he likes from another room, he will barge in with a loud imitation of what's being sung, purposefully keeping his voice flat to make it clear he's not trying to impress anybody, chill, he's just having fun.

A little blurry at the moment, but something along the lines of being efficient, making up for lost time, if there's a bump in the road deal with it and don't let anyone dictate your decisions anymore.

"We're all slaves to capitalism", hates the system but can't get out of it.

Doesn't appreciate passive-aggressiveness, and doesn't appreciate people who avoid their problems.

Tends to make assumptions and jump to conclusions; easily jealous. Hot-headed at times, will not hesitate to cut a bitch.
Very, very confrontational. Has taken anger management classes, but god, GOD some people in this life are such assholes and you can't avoid interacting with them by chance in your day-to-day life sometimes and Cameron has learned to storm off to avoid any physical reaction on his own part. That being said he brings up problems immediately, will argue for HOURS to prove his point or, alternatively, come to a solution for both parties. Really just hates leaving unfinished business.

Quick with numbers, kind of a math whiz (his job is very easy by his standards). Can chug hard liquor like it's nobody's business (but gets sick easily so knows not to do it, if ever). Analyzing cinema, organizing a storyboard if anybody needs that (but only if someone asks: doesn't easily offer that part of himself, because a tiny part is embarrassed of his past dedication to something that he barely uses in his day-to-day life).

Sudoku, watching videos and movies, spending time with someone who can make him laugh.
Has always been fascinated with space, can probably name all the constellations and will go on for hours about planets, comets, galaxies, the unknown. On some very secret level believes in aliens and the supernatural.

Quick-witted and no-nonsense. Hates for his time to be wasted, as he cherishes his free time with a passion. Any risks he takes when it comes to major, or even minor, decisions are calculated, because Cameron is very scared to get invested in something or someone that might fall through or not work out.
Very deadpan sense of humor, dry sarcasm, looks and eyebrow quirks.

Works a corporate desk job. Actually did have a Vine account that blew up and some vines that went viral, before the app crashed, but that's his only affiliation with social media.

Left. Very humanitarian, he and many of his close friends and family often don't benefit from the system but Cam doesn't really have any alternatives ("Communism is great and all, but humans are flawed and selfish and power-hungry and there's a reason it's never worked").

Agnostic. He hasn't ever felt that God is real, but if aliens exist ("and they do") then anything is possible, honestly.

Moqueca.

Red and yellow.

Is a hardcore cat person.

Verbal lashings, but he can spit a mean pomegranate seed.

August 3. Leo.

Public school, but was always very academically strong, and got a near-free ride to a good university because of it.

Family immigrated from Brazil when he was 7. Learned early on not to take shit from nobody, but that getting into fights was useless, and throughout high school his peers learned to respect him but also stay out of his way, if they knew what was good for them.
His fascination for films and cinema grew more and more every year, with his family having so many movie nights and growing up close to a movie theater. Always dreamed of being a film director, but gentle reminders from his parents -- that there were no successful Black or Latino directors -- became sterner every time he brought it up, and Cameron suppressed his plans and ideas and dreams for a much more stable career in finance. He's still bitter that his parents didn't support him, that they went so far as to lie to him, and deep down feels that he did waste so much time on a degree and a job that he hates, no matter that he's good at it. And he's determined to never waste any more of it, on anyone or anything.

"You know who's sexy? Karl Marx."

Likes to make jokes that his relationship with Danny is a scam and that he’s doing it to boost his Twitter following (he doesn’t have a Twitter. Yet).

• Has known Danny for about ten months. Started off rocky, with Cameron being an overprotective older brother and with Danny being his usual snarky and aloof self with strangers. They slowly bonded over similar senses of humor and a general distaste of the world and society they live in, and became friends to the point of seeing each other outside of group gatherings, which was usually the only time Danny would ever be seen outside his apartment. Things spiraled and, after a series of tensions and complications, the two have been dating for about three months now. The honeymoon phase is sort of wearing off, and Cameron is starting to not let things slide anymore. He knows he has high standards, and he knows he can be bossy, but goddamn Danny can grow out of his laziness and avoidance of problems but he simply refuses to, and it's starting to grate on Cameron's nerves. They laugh a lot and talk a lot and are a great emotional support system for each other but Cameron can't solve his end of their problems when Danny does nothing but run away from them. It's slow going, but going.

Gay.

• Dress shirts and jeans to work, sometimes even a vest for meetings


• Boxy t-shirts and sweats at home, solid colors and simple, minimal patterns


• Skinny jeans when going out, high-tops, maybe a baggy crop-top with a choker if he feels like showing off.
