GENERAL INFORMATION.

NAME. simon james langley — contention developed between his parents the weeks before he was born. his father wanted to follow tradition—pass down a name from one of the family’s long, distinguished line of men; something strong and legacy-bound. his mother, however, was set on something older, softer, and a little less expected. to his father's credit, he didn't fight her on it. he simply nodded and allowed the name to be written on the birth certificate. the langley legacy traces back to the reconstruction era, when simon’s great-great-grandfather helped draft state legislation. since then, they have been federal judges, circuit court advisors, political donors, and lawyers. the family is deeply embedded in the legal and judicial structure of the south. for simon, his surname is a double-edged sword. it offers him safety, connections, and a future already paved with privilege—but it also comes with invisible strings. he was raised to understand that being a langley meant understanding there was a standard to uphold, a family reputation to maintain, and failure—whatever that might look like—wasn’t part of the script.

AGE. nineteen y/o ‘ july 13th — since he could remember, his birthdays were extravagant; they were planned weeks in advance, managed by his mother's personal assistant, and hosted in whatever space felt appropriately refined that year— usually the back garden or a private room at the club. white tablecloths. string lights. perfectly wrapped gifts. there were no bounce houses, no silly themes, no messy cakes with smudged icing. everything was curated. and the guest list was always full: extended family, family friends who he’d never met before and classmates from school he never really liked. although simon appreciated the grace and effort behind these celebrations, he sometimes longed for something a bit more spontaneous, personal. so at nineteen, he doesn’t celebrate his birthday or acknowledge it. he lets the day pass, often alone or with only a few close friends who understand his feelings about it.
SEX. biological male ‘ he/him.
IDENTITY. white ‘ american.
EDUCATION. highschool graduate ‘ in law school. — he is in college on a full ride academic scholarship, but whether he actually wants this life is something he’s still figuring out.
RELIGION. christian — raised and presently believes in said faith.
RESIDENCE. north carolina.

ORIENTATION. questioning — where his mother was the kind of woman who called herself ‘open-minded’, his father believed in fairness, but not necessarily in nuance— conversations about identity were always theoretical. acceptable from a distance, less so when it lived under your roof. so simon understood that acceptance often had limits and they usually started where comfort ended. so simon subconsciously followed that blueprint. and it wasn’t that he didn’t like women, he’d dated a few, even liked the attention. but sometimes he caught himself infatuated with those of the same sex. it was the kind of pull he couldn’t explain. and he’d bury it— the way he buried everything that didn’t quite fit.
OCCUPATION. unemployed — simon is, for lack of a better phrase, living off the langley cushion— the walking embodiment of daddy’s money— he’s the softest version of a trust fund kid: not flashy, not obnoxious, just quietly supported by generational wealth and two very successful parents who would rather keep him comfortable than watch him struggle. he’s never had to clock in to a 9 to 5, never scrambled to make rent, and doesn’t flinch when a bill arrives—his parents take care of most things without asking.

PERSONALITY. simon has always been good at compartmentalizing, and growing up in a family where image and perception are everything, he learned early how to play the part: well-mannered, keen, but rebellious enough to seem interesting without tipping the balance. he was taught as a child how to curate himself for the world— charming in the right company, restrained in public, and always composed under scrutiny. it’s second nature now— say the right things, never raise your voice, leave just enough of yourself visible to seem sincere. the rest—your doubts, your fears, your wants— get locked behind closed doors. and simon, youngest of three, had to learn quickly how to navigate the shadows left behind by a charismatic brother and a successful sister. he never quite fit the mold, but he knew how to mimic it well enough to be left alone.authentic by all accounts, he never let the expectations of his family define the entirety of who he was. where his parents and older siblings are confident, assertive and self-assured— simon is quieter, gentler, less certain. he doesn't command attention the way they do, and he never tries to.simon has always been himself, unapologetically. he might be quiet and very soft-spoken, but he’s not passive, nor is he shy. he’s rather witty, with a dry, unassuming sense of humor. he has an oddball charm about him that tends to draw attention of others.

LIKES. rainy days more than the sunny ones. — lemon in his water: it was a habit from his mom and now it just feels wrong without it. — people who talk a lot. he’s fascinated by those who overshare or always have something to say, he likes listening. —

DISLIKES. being compared to his siblings, which happens more often than people think. —

HABITS.

APPEARANCE. standing at 5’8, simon is often written off as “average” at first glance—average height, average build, average looks— but anyone who pays attention will notice the details. his shoulders are a little broader than expected, his arms and abdomen, defined and lean, are toned from casual workouts and a half-hearted effort to keep his body from softening too much. he doesn’t flaunt it—he’s not one to post gym mirror selfies or talk about reps— but he does take pride in taking care of his body. simon was taught early—by his mother more than anyone—that taking care of yourself is a form of respect, and so he eats healthily and works out regularly.his features are subtly defined—nothing too striking, but all working in harmony. his nose is straight, with a hint of a roman slope, giving his profile a timeless, almost classical shape. he has a natural downward turn at the corners of his mouth, which makes him look serious even when he’s not. his complexion is warm and sun-kissed, somewhere between medium and olive, the kind that tans easily in the summer and never quite fades in the winter.

his hair is a soft, unkempt kind of dirty blonde—more sun-faded wheat than gold, usually falling over his forehead in a way that looks accidental but suits him perfectly. when he was a toddler, it was nearly white—platinum blonde and wispy, the kind that made strangers stop and coo. his parents still mention it sometimes, mostly his mother, with

fondness that borders on nostalgia. these darker tones came in as he got older, but if the light hits just right, you can still catch a flash of that the former brightness of it. simon’s eyes are green—deep, mossy, with flecks of amber near the pupil if you’re close enough to notice.one thing most don’t see unless simon lets them is the long, vertical raised scar that runs down the center of his chest, beginning just below his collarbone and ending at the base of his sternum— he had open-heart surgery as a baby due to a congenital heart defect known as atrial septal defect (asd) which is a hole in the wall that separates the two upper chambers of the heart. in minor cases, it can go undetected for years or close naturally. but in simon's case, the defect was significant enough that it caused abnormal blood flow and placed dangerous strain on both his lungs and heart. he was small for his age as an infant, often lethargic, with a bluish tint around his lips that worried his mother. after a series of scans and second opinions, his parents were told surgery was the safest option-and needed sooner rather than later. the operation happened just before his first birthday. the scar that now runs down the center of his chest is the only visible reminder, but for his family, that year is burned into memory. his mother still keeps the hospital band tucked in a keepsake box. although he's physically healthy now, simon still goes in for check-ups with his cardiologist every other year. it’s not something he talks about often and most don't even know.
