Ryan Clossan

Ryan Émile Clossan (08/09/1984) was born in La Valbonne, Rhone-Alps, France, to his American father (John Clossan) and French mother (Adrienne Clossan). He has an older sister Susan Clossan Bryant (born 1982). His family moved from France to the United States when Ryan was eight to pursue a higher level of education for Ryan, whose intellect was already far exceeding that of the teachers available to him. Ryan attended Trinity School in NYC, graduating at the age of 16. He double majored in English Literature and Education for his undergraduate at Princeton University, then attended Oxford University for his doctorate degree. He moved back to the United States after graduating at the age of 25 and took a job as a professor of English Literature at University of Waterfall in Waterfall, PA. A few years later, he began teaching an after-school, dual credit Creative Writing course at the local Waterfall High School, where he met Peter Almos, for whom he provided refuge from October-April of the 2011-12 school year. This living arrangement was terminated when Peter's father died of a heart attack, forcing Peter to move to Texas for his senior year to live with relatives.

Ryan is 5' 11" and weighs 152 lbs. He has pale skin, light blue eyes, and neat dark blonde hair. He dresses smartly but conservatively, favoring an "oxford" clothing style. His favorite color is periwinkle and his favorite food is courgette tian. He is reserved and quiet, and tends to be very private about his personal affairs. He is well versed in all subjects although he favors English Literature. He came to terms with his sexuality with little difficulty or concern in early puberty, and once he reached adulthood he often frequented gay clubs with the intention of quick one night stands. He fell for Peter when they lived together in mutual attraction, but did not consummate the relationship until they were reunited at the beginning of Peter's junior year of college. He is currently living with and dating Peter.

 "He had a gentle, understated kind of allure, with kind eyes the soft color of faded denim, smooth milky skin, big warm hands, and short, tidy sorrel hair always parted to the side. He was down to earth, and never flagrant about his wealth; but the discerning eye could spot the Rolex glinting from underneath the cuffed sleeves of his powder blue Armani sweater and his distressed jeans hanging perfectly over a pair of sienna loafers.
