Joe has been living a fairly asexual life lately as he’s too concerned with raising his daughter right, however, he’s always thought that Jen will go to university in a couple of years time, which will free his evenings and weekends up for dating. He’d like to “get back into the game” if he can remember how.

Class Lower middle class, white collar civil servant
Education Didn’t go to university despite being pushed to by family...
Occupation Information Registration Technician (I.R.T.) - registers individuals with the government, so their information is up to code and up to date (e.g. small businesses, medical practices, actors/musicians). The conceit is that the government can then provide tax breaks, benefits, and other voucher/coupon-like gifts so long as they know everything about the individual and that the information is up to the standards they see fit.
Physical
Size Skinny with a little bit of weight in all the places it goes when you get older.
Height Tall
Strong/Weak Unfit/weak physically from years as a desk jockey
Hair Color/Style Slightly scruffy but neat enough to get away with it at work
Style of Dress Likes to be seen as a professional and so suits are the order of the day, however impractical.
Religion Atheist
Attractive/Repulsive Pleasant enough on the eye but not a looker by any means.
Unusual characteristics / markings / disabilities Has a scar on his hairline from jumping off of a climbing frame, self conscious that everyone is always looking at it but it's actually almost impossible to see. After the incident had the ‘dare devil’ beaten out of him/her and didn't play outside much after that.
