Martin "Marty" Dressler 28 American Currently residing in New York City Things he likes: • Fish (he thinks they make amazing pets) • computer hacking • Math • Music (especially jazz and rock) Extra: • Marty is awkward in most social situations, but he likes talking with people that like to talk to him. Most of his anxiety when it comes to socializing is from his fear of being disliked or seen as "weak" or "pathetic" • Marty is divorced. He had a not-so-great relationship with a woman he met in college. He thought she was amazing, the light of his life, but she was horrible to him.. And he was horrible back. She would belittle and ridicule him for his looks and "geeky interests", while he would yell at her when she did so. Their arguments would always start with her saying something negative and him asking why she always had to be so negative/mean. Then, it would snowball into a screaming match, with her hurling insults and him pathetically attempting to be mean as years streamed down his face from panic (since arguments and disagreements make him panic). They got a divorce when he was 23, they had married when he was 22. Marty still holds a grudge, but is on decent terms with his ex-mother-in-law, who lets him stay at her house when he's having a rough time with rent • Marty currently has a few friends, Nick Costas and Roy Barkin, but sees them more as "leverage" or "tools" than actual companions • Marty is not confident at all, and it actually very insecure. He tends to overthink his looks and how he acts and what he says far more than he should. He could have someone blatantly tell him he looks good and he wouldnt believe them. He has a very bad inferiority complex. He is conventionally UNattractive, has a short fuse, and is geeky. • Marty hates heavy attention from people he doesn't like, but is obsessed with getting attention from people he likes. • Marty is the type of person who mindlessly fidgets and drums his fingers against tables, chairs, his legs, the floor, whatever. He bounces his leg no matter what when he's sitting at a desk, and he alwys has to be doing something with his hands. Some of his traits: • Awkward/ • sociopathic • Sensitive/emotional • nerdy/geeky • VERY socially inept • Dopey • short tempered Marty has short, sweaty, messy dirty-blond hair, blue-green eyes with a yellow ring in the center, sideburns that people usually tease him for, and pale skin. He usually throws on whatever dopey clothes he has and tries to make it look as good as he can, always failing. Marty usually wears button-ups, mainly because of his job. Marty has rectangular, black-frame glasses. He is five-foot-four.
