an irresistible fault
allies, confidants, friends & more
To say that befriending Dimitri is difficult is a bit of an understatement. Truly he's more likely to have many professional acquaintances -- faculty & student alike -- than he is true, close friends. He doesn't like letting people near him, as he has plenty of anxiety & self-confidence issues since the accident that he was in. Instead of showing that sort of weakness (or what he believes to be weakness), he's perfected the cool and aloof aura. While he is naturally polite and can be social, he dodges conversation that delves too deeply into his own self -- whether that's his past or how he's feeling at any given time. So all of this makes it hard to truly befriend him. It's not impossible, though, it will just take a lot of work. For those who are able to get passed this icy exterior he's built himself for protection and out of pride, they're likely to gain a very devoted friend, as Dimitri's not about to let go anyone who manages to stick around despite all his supposed faults go easily.
no matter where you shoot me down
enemies, hateships, rivals & more
Honestly, with how self-critical Dimitri is, and how much he excels at internalizing all of his problems, it's kind of hard for him to make enemies, at least from his point of view. Whenever any problems arise, it's easy for him to find fault in himself rather than anyone else, though it's not like he'd ever voice that -- preferring to keep his harsh opinions in his head. But I'd be willing to figure out some sort of plot that plays at the hateship thing if someone wanted.
don't stand so close to me
admirers, crushes, lovers, romance & more
Romancing Dimitri is going to be difficult due to many of the same reasons that befriending him is difficult. That said, like many people, he does get lonely and crave companionship. However, it's just another thing for him to bottle up and try to ignore, defaulting to holing himself up in his flat rather than try and date anyone. After the accident, his personal view of his self-worth has remained rather negative so it's hard for him to even fathom others having any interest in him in that manner. He'll likely be prone to brushing off any attempts, at least until a friendship is formed and it gradually starts to sink into his thick skull that yeah, this person might be serious. Dimitri is demisexual, so physical sex and gender identity will have no baring on who he's attracted to -- emotional attachment is much more important.
songs for the last view
everything else
Faculty & co-workers, students he tutors regularly, really... I'm up for anything. I'm here to write and have fun, so if you have any ideas, please feel free to throw them at me here, or in PMs if that's more comfortable for you. Also, keep an eye out for a want ad for Dimitri's little sister. :3
