Education: Loris started his education in Germany, but moved to London shortly before middle school. He did a one year stint for university there before dropping out
Short bio: Loris was born to a German father and British mother who definitely were not meant for one another. They stayed together for a while, but divorce is always inevitable when two people fall out of love. Still, it was an amicable enough split, and while Loris moved to England with his mother afterwards, his summers were always spent in Germany. With his father working long hours, Loris was free to get up to whatever he wanted, which meant exploring his already questionable sexuality. He'd never cared much for the female anatomy, after all, and guys were just the right amount of rough for him.
Loris ended up making quite a few colorful friends that summer that he didn't tell his parents about. It wasn't that he cared if they knew he was gay or not, it just wasn't information he would offer up without being asked. It was one of those friends that prompted Loris with the idea of going on a trip to Atlantic City shortly after he dropped out of university, and the notion of gambling and debauchery was hard to pass up. And the city did live up to its reputation, so much so that Loris felt the need to stay a while longer. He's only been in Atlantic City for a couple of months, but he's coming close to calling it his new home.

Carry weapons? If yes, what; what level of skill?: he carries a pocket knife, no real skill
Nervous habits or tics: habitual gum smacker and pen clicker
RP Sample: These were the sort of nights that Loris lived for. The crowd on the dance floor was a lively bunch, a mess of sweat-slicked bodies that slithered together under bright lights to the quickened tempo of the music. The floor reverberated with the bass, and so did Loris' ears. He brought his plastic cup to his lips, drank slowly as his eyes surveyed the scene at hand. Already several people had flashed him interested glances, beckoned to him with taunting limbs and sinful hips. Everywhere the smell of desperation and cheap cologne invaded the senses and threatened to turn him off, but the bodies... Glistening and undulating in a feverish fashion in an attempt to keep up with the music. To keep the attention of those they tried to impress. Loris smirked and crushed his empty cup in one hand before tossing it underfoot. One particular man had caught his eye, his slender frame swaying to a different rhythm, head tossed back and arms reaching towards of ceiling as if he were performing a ritualistic dance. Loris wanted him, and he would make sure that he staked his claim
