Although he's the mature, hard-working CEO of a highly successful company, Dominic Jacobs is lonely. Enter your character, a man who can introduce Dominic to a world he missed out on. young man between the ages of 19 and 35*, with plenty of time to learn, to make mistakes, to be selfish, and to introduce Dominic to a world he's missed out on.
I'd like to play against characters who have different lifestyles than Dominic (for example, someone who's reckless and irresponsible, or who chose a totally different pathway for their life than Dom.) I want this to be an interesting, thrilling line that incorporates all the elements of a good story... but I'm not looking for a pointless smut line (in fact, at times I prefer to fade to black.)
I'd prefer to write against characters that are around the same age as Dom.
Comment if you're interested!

biography
Dominic Aaron Jacobs was born and raised in a suburb outside of Manchester, New Hampshire by his parents, Elizabeth Cooper and Arnold Jacobs. Although his parents divorced when Dominic was five, he maintained a good relationship with both of them. He spent the school year with his mother in New Hampshire and the summers and some other holidays with his father in Pennsylvania. Other than his somewhat nomadic family life, Dominic's childhood was fairly average.
After graduating in the top 10% of his high school class, Dominic attended Carnegie Mellon University to study Business and Psychology. Although he was in excellent standing with the university, Dominic dropped out the second semester of his junior year in order to take care of his mother. Elizabeth's health was quickly failing due to advanced ovarian cancer, detected just a few months earlier. She died soon after, when Dominic was approximately 21 years old.
His mother's death affected Dominic particularly hard. He fell into a period of extreme depression and became addicted to his prescription medication. It took a year for Arnold to convince Dominic to go to therapy for his addiction and depression, and several more months of treatment until Dominic felt well enough to move back to Pittsburgh to live with his father. However, he returned with a new perspective on life and his choices; rather than return to school, Dominic chose to start his own business with his father's support. By the time Dominic was 24, he and Arnold opened the first Shakings cafe in Pittsburgh. It became an instant success, leading to a chain of other cafes around New England and the major cities of Canada.
Currently, Dominic is anywhere from 27 - 31 years old.
