David King

Hot-headed, aggressive, but loyal in his own way. He’s the kind of guy who acts first, thinks later — but he’ll take a hit to protect someone else.

Homosexual

He’s a tough, brawler-type character from Manchester, England. Before the Entity took him, he spent his time drinking, gambling, and getting into fights. He used to play rugby professionally but lost his career after his reckless behavior.

Stocky and muscular, with a broad chest and thick arms. He has the solid frame of an ex-rugby player and barroom brawler.

Taller than average, with a presence that feels imposing compared to most survivors.

David tends to stand with squared shoulders, like he’s always ready for a fight. His posture and stride give off confidence, bordering on cockiness.

Face: Rugged and masculine, with a square jawline and a nose that looks like it’s been broken before. He often has a faint scowl or a smirk, making him look perpetually ready to throw a punch. Eyes: Blue-gray, sharp and intense, which adds to his intimidating presence. Facial Hair: Usually sports stubble or a short, scruffy beard. He doesn’t look polished — more rough-around-the-edges, like someone who doesn’t care much about grooming. Hair: Short and tousled, dirty blonde/light brown in color. It’s kept practical but messy, giving him that “I don’t give a damn” kind of look.

Top: A fitted, faded polo shirt with a few buttons undone, sleeves hugging his arms. The shirt looks slightly worn, as if it’s seen countless nights in pubs and fights. Pants: Simple dark jeans — practical, no-nonsense, and easy to move in. Shoes: Heavy-duty work boots, the type that can handle both a rugby field and a scrap behind the bar. Overall Style: David doesn’t dress to impress — his look is casual and tough, with no frills. He gives the impression of someone who values function over fashion.

Dominant but Protective: David has that natural alpha energy — he likes taking charge, being the one to set the pace and make his partner feel safe. But unlike a purely aggressive lover, he’s deeply protective. With Dwight especially, he’d be careful not to overwhelm him, always checking in through touch or a glance. Passionate & Intense: Just like in trials, David doesn’t do things halfway. He’s the type to throw himself fully into the moment, leaving no doubt that his attention is all on Dwight. His kisses, his grip, his presence — all firm, grounded, and consuming.

Vocal & Unfiltered: David isn’t shy about saying what he wants or letting Dwight know how he feels. Expect rough-edged encouragement, low growls of praise, and teasing remarks — blunt, sometimes dirty, but always with affection underneath.

Physical Style: He’s strong, solid, and knows it. He’d use his size to his advantage — pinning, holding close, or pulling Dwight against him so there’s no space left between them. But even with that raw physicality, his touch would have a surprising tenderness when Dwight needs reassurance.

Once the heat of the moment passes, David’s softer side shows. He’d likely pull Dwight into his chest, running a hand through his hair or pressing a kiss to his forehead. His gruff voice would drop low, muttering things like “You’re mine, and I’ve got you.”

Grounding Touch: David would hold Dwight close right away, chest-to-chest or with Dwight tucked against his side. His arm would stay firmly around him, like he’s guarding him even in rest. His warmth and weight would be grounding after the intensity.

Soft Reassurance: His voice, normally sharp and gruff, would drop into a softer, lower tone. He might mutter things like: “You did good, love.” “I’ve got you. You’re safe.” “Don’t go hiding in your head — stay here with me.”

Physical Care: David’s practical side kicks in. He’d check Dwight over, fussing in his own rough way. Making sure he’s not too sore, offering water, maybe even throwing a blanket over both of them without asking. He might act like it’s casual, but it’s his way of showing deep care.

Affection Beneath the Roughness: He’s not flowery with words, but he shows affection physically — forehead presses, rubbing circles on Dwight’s back, stroking his hair. His touches are steady and sure, silently reminding Dwight that he’s cherished.

Protective Instinct: If Dwight ever seemed anxious or self-conscious afterward, David would cut that down quickly — not cruelly, but firmly. “Oi, none of that. You’re mine, and you’re perfect as you are.” His loyalty doesn’t waver, and Dwight would feel that in every word.

David is the anchor: bold, steady, grounding. Dwight is more hesitant, anxious, but David thrives on that — he enjoys guiding him, building his confidence, and showing him he’s safe. Together, their intimacy would be a mix of rough edges and deep trust — David’s raw, fiery energy tempered by genuine love for Dwight’s softer nature.
