About:
Florian is super athletic and active. He spends hours a day at the park socializing and joining peoples' games. If Florian sees someone struggling to keep jogging, he'd run next to them and hype them up to meet their brings good vibes wherever he goes and is really good at lifting up others. He is very jack of all trades and master of none. He can jump into any sport or activity, however doesn't give much dedication to a single one.

He's the type of guy that women can tell is gay but other men can't. He's not in the closet but he's not very vocal about his sexuality either. Though he's a very social person, Florian really cares about how people view him and stresses out about potentially not being liked.
