birthday: October 2nd.

appearance: It’s fair to say that Dean grew into his looks and because of that he doesn’t realize how good looking he actually is. Described by some as handsome, his boyish looks of short dark hair and dark eyes, often matched with a slightly mischievous grin get him all the attention from both guys and girls which he readily accepts but doesn’t always understand. Much like his husband, he has let his body go slightly now that he isn't constantly being photographed shirtless, it's still defined but not quite as toned as it was during his modelling days.
style: Dean has grown up slightly when it comes to his clothing choices. Though he hasn't changed drastically his jeans are now more tapered in fit and his t-shirts are simply, usually just black or white. He's also had to invest in some more 'presentable' clothing choices for some of the more professional jobs he now gets booked for.

general personality: Dean always presented himself as a loveable rogue. Always with a smile on his face and a glint in his eye. He'd love to say that he'd stayed the same cheerful guy he was a few years ago but much like his clothing style he has started to mellow and, as much as he hates to say it, mature. It's not that he's dull but the things that would once get his pulse racing don't quite have the same effect on him anymore. That says he does still have a way to go to come across as someone one could class as professional, never taking things as seriously in his work life as he probably should do.

history: Dean kept a low profile at school, watching the world go by as he sat on the edge of the playing fields looking up at the clouds. He was the outsider at school, neither good looking nor unattractive, thick or smart, he never found a group that would accept him for being him. He knew he always had his sister at home but at school it was a different story, the people who attempted to befriend him to get to her were quickly put off by Deans lack of caring and once again left him to his own devises.
Leaving school at 18, Dean took a job in a local bar where he made a vast number of friends. It was also at this bar where he met his first girlfriend and later boyfriend (though not at the same time). He didn’t tell his family about his sexuality, not to hide it but merely because he didn’t see what the fuss was about it until he heard his father speaking one day about the ‘fags on TV’.
Days later after a heart to heart with Louisa where they swapped stories, hers being the move to America and his being his new found bisexuality he asked if he could go with her. Happy for the company and familiar face Louisa was quick to agree.
The second day after their arrival in LA, Dean scored a new job in a local bar and on the same night was spotted by an agent who signed him on the spot. A few weeks later, during a shoot, Dean met and fell for a photographer by the name of Ben who, after 5 years, broke his heart. Dean has been single since.
It was a few days later during a shoot that Dean recognized the photographer, his own brother. After a brief reconciliation the pair see each other a couple of nights a week for a few drinks. Dean has told Mark everything apart from the fact he likes men knowing that there is a part of Mark that takes after their father and that’s a side he really doesn’t want to face.
After being attacked and his personal downwards spiral Dean realised he needed a change of location for a while. A time to get back to who he was and attempt to put the past behind him. Somehow through the chaos and confusion Dena managed to get himself signed to a new agency which gave him something to focus on. After doing some work in Europe Dean found himself based in England for a couple of months and moved back to his parents house for the duration. As well as working, this time was used to attempt to strengthen the bond with his Father that had been missing since he had come out to him. Although they didn’t get what could be called a loving bond they are now back on speaking terms and in Deans mothers eyes that’s all she could have asked for.
At the end of his stay Louisa turned up unannounced with the news that she had been relocated to England for an indefinite time period so the apartment was currently empty if he wanted it. Hoping he was ready to go back there he took the offer up and a week later was getting on a plane back to LA..
Dean’s eye was soon caught by Nick, a guy who unbeknownst to him at the time was sleeping with his own ex-boyfriend. The two hooked up on more than one occasion though it fizzled out when once again, the on/off relationship with Wes was once again on.
It wasn’t long after the couple started up again that one of Wes’s closest friends got pregnant, his decision to support the child being a factor that Dean tried as much as possible to be ok with. The forthcoming birth was something that took up Wes’s spare time away from work so when Dean learnt that his father had passed away he didn’t want to turn to his boyfriend in fear that he would have other things on his mind.
The trip back home was nothing but unsettling for Dean though it helped him lay a lot of demons to rest. His father’s passing and mother’s presence seemed to have a positive effect on his brother who became a better man for the event, wanting to start afresh with the brother he had done nothing but abuse mentally since he learnt of his sexuality.
Once back in America Dean was quick to want to see Wes again but the reunion was not a happy one. An ill-timed joke on his part began the upset between the pair and then Dean’s revelations about Mark weakened the bond even more. The pair all but arguing before Dean returned home, also alone in the knowledge that his green card was soon to run out and unless he could find some way to get everything sorted he was going to be deported back to England and away from the man he loved.
But then things changed. It wasn't even like a slow build up with gradual little changes along the way, big things happened and they started to happen fast. Wes turned up at the airport and made the (unbeknownst to them at the time) relatively brief trip back to the UK with Dean where the two of them actually started to thrive in their relationship. Then the visa came through enabling the pair of them to return, together, and get a place of their own (well, the two of them plus the dogs) and then they got married. Then the happily ever after really did start to seem like a genuine possibility for Dean, especially once he'd legally changed his surname to be free of everything relating to his past even including his family who truth be told, he was trying to remove almost all memories off.
Along with the changes in his personal life the temporary move to the UK had an effect on his career to. With modelling work starting to dry up due to him not being stateside when it was required he started to dabble in photography, finding himself taking to it (probably something in the genes as loathe as he was to admit it) and is now concentrating on this as his profession, travelling the world for photo shoots although he does still appear on the other side of the camera too on occasions.
