NAME. dima dessner. NICKNAMES. dessner (the common way in which he prefers to be referred, by his surname. some think he prefers it as a sign of respect, and yet, in reality, he only likes it best as a result of a few miscreants who have made fun of him for having a 'girl's name.')

OCCUPATION. full-time university student at a renowned school for music, whose primary job is naturally, to study, as he majors in music theory which is a highly consuming major, as well as to play in the university's highly renowned jazz band as a drummer. as a side gig, he works part time at the university's local record store, as he knows just about every single record within by name— and he often spends more time studying music in there than selling anything, as the shop is not very lucrative to begin with.

PERSONALITY. dessner is a bit of an enigma, some say. he's jazz's premier bad boy, clad in those torn jeans and hoodies and graffitied shoes, coming with a thick accent and a tendency to omit articles when he speaks, at times. he's a genius, that can be said for certain. he has a certain capability to feel the music, along with an encyclopedic knowledge of music. every album, every piece, every composer he feels is worth knowing, dessner knows. he is certainly obsessive, and certainly has a sense of apathy towards everything else. he tends to answer honestly that he does not care about most things. (even sometimes when his siblings call him with family news, he will just bluntly tell them that he does not care). he is certainly blunt. he is a genius. and that does indeed make for a strange person. he is a perfectionist. nothing is ever good enough for him and he definitely drives himself a bit crazy over these things. dessner craves affirmation, confirmation that he has separated himself from his parents and their beliefs about his own future. and yet it's become a hedonic treadmill. no matter what he achieves, there's another, better goal in the distance. dessner is pretty unabashedly himself, not having much shame for his less common ways. he is insistent and persistent and a hard worker. he's unpredictable, and certainly a temperamental player-- sometimes he shows up ready, but even small things can throw him off. he is a private person, more introverted in the sense that connection isn't exactly something he looks forward to every day, but he isn't afraid of people. he can share his opinions and thoughts confidently with them. he is very creative, and yet very traditional. he is highly opinionated about music. you need to know the rules to break them, after all, and he will say when someone does not know the rules well enough. he is innovative, talented, and above all, passionate. TRAITS. strict, scheduled, perfectionist, obsessive, temperamental, ambitious, intelligent, naturally talented, a hard worker, prodigy, irritable, creative, opinionated.
