Valentine

Valentine works in retail, and one of his coworkers is Ailee who is his closest friend at work. They often hang out, with him even going back to her house to smoke with her and her partner. He finds her hobbies really cool, and is waiting to commission her for a modded gameboy. Sometimes she lets him watch as she works on projects, and she is teaching him how to read circuit boards and solder and other things. It has inspired him to work more on learning coding, though he still hasn't gotten very far with it as he struggles with all the words and numbers involved. He finds physical tasks a lot easier, and agrees with Ailee's preference for hardware over software. Even hardware work is a bit hard as he sometimes has a hand tremor. Generally though, he enjoys a lot of mainstream things over the more nerdy niches that Ailee and her friends do -- rather than platformers and indie games, he plays a lot of AAA games and is anxious to always get the newest console system and games being dropped by big name developers. He loves the Playstation line in particular, but he still appreciates Xboxes and Nintendo's lines.
