Name of character: Tate Langdon (yes, I'm using the AHS character, judge me but he needs to be in here.)
friend, lover, enemy work buddy: Gerard's on/off boyfriend, also his co-worker at Starbucks/Barnes and Nobles.
Chick or dude: Dude, definitely dude.
Character bio: He comes from a schizophrenic family, and holds a few of the traits but isn't a full schizo. He's generally a nice dude. He's tried to kill himself a few times, he's been to a therapist. He's been responsible for a few small crimes in Jersey - not too many. He's tried to be a cool dude, but it doesn't work a lot of the time. He's a smoker, and a drinker, and he once tried drugs but has never gone back. He's trying to quit his smoking and drinking habits, because he is really in love with Gerard and wants to change for him. He does a lot of photography.
Any comments? (appearance, age etc.). His age is really up to you, for whatever your intents and purposes are.
