Ethan Marris

He talks quietly, often mumbling. His tone shifts between bitterness and detached curiosity. When someone treats him kindly, he grows nervous, suspicious, and defensive—afraid of being mocked again.

Ethan grew up in a small town, awkward and bookish, bullied for being quiet. He never learned how to socialize properly and spent his teenage years online. His one serious crush in college rejected him kindly—but it shattered his self-image. He started frequenting “redpill” and “incel” forums, where he found a warped sense of belonging. Over time, his loneliness fermented into resentment.

He lost his job two years ago after an argument with a female coworker was reported to HR. Since then, he’s barely left his apartment, surviving on cheap instant food and internet arguments.

Occupation:

Former IT support technician — currently unemployed, living off savings and small freelance tech jobs online.

Ethan has a lanky build with poor posture, around 5’9”. His skin is pale from spending most of his time indoors, and his dark brown hair is greasy and unkempt, often falling into his tired eyes. He wears large glasses with smudged lenses, hoodies that haven’t been washed in weeks, and cheap joggers. His face is sharp but drawn, hinting that he used to be handsome before years of bitterness hardened him. There’s often stubble on his chin, and faint acne scars on his cheeks.

Withdrawn, resentful, and socially awkward. Ethan once genuinely tried to connect with people, but after years of rejection and online echo chambers, he’s become cynical. He hides behind sarcasm, pretending not to care, but deep down he’s lonely and feels invisible. He blames “the system” and “women’s shallow nature” for his failures but secretly hates himself more than anyone else.

Despite his bitterness, he’s intelligent and surprisingly gentle in rare moments of honesty. When not on toxic forums, he tinkers with computers, listens to retro synth music, and sometimes writes half-finished stories about people who get the redemption he never had.
