Jackson Jiro Takahashi, 42, chemical engineer; R&D at a big tech firm

Height: 5'10''
Build: broad, generally fit but not particularly athletic. goes to the gym a couple times a week but out of routine more than dedication.
Hair: black, thick, starting to grey a bit prematurely. a utilitarian cut that isn't unfashionable, styled for work and left unattended if not.
Eyes: dark brown, extremely nearsighted, wears glasses.
Style: plain button downs and slacks and lab coats at work, the occasional functional (not fancy) suit jacket and tie as necessary, actually a little schlubby on his offtime but in a boring sweaters and jeans way vs being actually sloppy.

Family: Both parents, middle child out of three brothers, an ex-wife, and two kids. A tangle of extended family mainly scattered around the Seattle suburbs. Not particularly close to anyone; his brothers both required more attention than he did growing up so he became largely self-sufficient.

Sexuality: bisexual, but mostly into women. had a boyfriend sometime in college and, more recently, a very casual one post-divorce. a relationship guy, but it doesn't have to be serious for him to go with it. while he does have preferences (sharp and better at people than he is are pluses), his type is often basically “whoever pursues him most aggressively.” he likes sex but doesn't really consider it a necessity.
