Neil Simeon Balcombe

Hello, all. I'm Katja, and this is my boy, Neil. He's nineteen years old, though he sometimes feels (and acts) a bit closer to forty. While he was once quite reckless and mildly irresponsible, he's now much more responsible and dedicated. He's an easy going fellow, loves to smile and laugh, though he can be a bit single-minded and, as such, can give the impression that he doesn't care to hang out with friends. The truth of the matter is that he doesn't have very much time to, but he does rather enjoy it nonetheless. He's a patient fellow and protective of those he loves, especially his daughter.

That's right, say hello to Peyton! She's Neil's 13 moth old daughter and pretty much the light of his life. He would do absolutely anything for her and has very high hopes for her future. He's given up his more reckless pursuits and now devotes himself to his education and job (not to mention her) in order to give her a good future. More than anything, he wants her to have a mother figure in her life, but that's definitely beyond his power at this point.

I'm open to nearly everything for this guy (though any kind of romantic interest would be complicated and take quite a while). If you have any ideas, please toss them this way!

Neil & Myja
Neil is also quite friendly, as well as very patient. He's outspoken and a bit opinionated, but he doesn't mind listening if someone has something to say. He's not the type who will prod at someone to talk about themselves, however. If people don't want to talk, he's perfectly fine with that. And, if they do, he tends to be fairly understanding, or at least try to be. So she wouldn't have that to worry about. Though, from what I gather, she appears to have a good hold on herself? If that's the case, he might not even suspect something was amiss. Either way, he likely wouldn't say anything.

He's also pretty single-minded, focused entirely on his daughter. So, while I could see them probably striking up some sort of friendship, he might not be the best at expressing that his lack of time and concentration wasn't anything against her personally. Depending on how she'd react to this, that could be a point of tension. Otherwise, I think they would get along well.
