Added 2024-08-16 14:47:48 +0000 UTC

It's time to choose the third supporting player to receive their own Grind'm hookup scenario! Only Graduate patrons can vote for which 8 guys will move on to round two of voting, but I'm sharing the list of contenders with everyone so you can see who's in the running.

Below are all 16 eligible guys listed in alphabetical order, along with some details about each character, how you can meet them in the game, and where on Patreon you can see more pics of them if you are at a patron level that can view those galleries.

Graduates - Once you have your picks, head over to the Round 1 Poll to make your selections—be sure to read the note at the top for instructions.

Everyone else - Feel free to comment about which guys you'd most like to see join Jordi and Trevor on the in-game Grind'm app. You may just convince one of the Graduates to give them a vote!

Now, let's meet our guys.

Antonio - International Man of Mystery

AGE: 31 || ROLE: Bodyguard || HEIGHT: 6' / 183 cm || POSITION: Verse-Top

Antonio is Alex's bodyguard, an enigmatic man who is always lurking in the shadows, unseen unless he needs to leap to Alex's defense. He's intense and intimidating and maybe a little dangerous—but there are hints of a sly sense of humor hidden behind his veil of secrecy.

In the game, you can meet Antonio via Alex's route. Hang out with Alex in the afternoon, then go with him to the club. You can also have an encounter if you go to the club and end your night super drunk.

On Patreon, Antonio is featured in the following galleries:

Bastien - Premier Danseur

AGE: 29 || ROLE: Dance Professor || HEIGHT: 6'4" / 194 cm || POSITION: Versatile

Bastien is a tall, alluring, French ballet dancer who has taken leave as a principal of a dance company to share his expertise with the up and comers at 21CA. He's a big believer in the school's philosophies, as evidenced by his unabashedly flirtatious nature, and is looking to demonstrate his moves to any student that asks—even if they're not in the dance program.

Bastien's character model has been updated to be more muscular and sturdier than the version that currently exists in the game and in galleries.

In the game, you can meet Bastien via Isaiah's route. Hang out with Isaiah during the afternoon, then spend the evening with him at the club. You'll get an opportunity to dance with Bastien yourself or watch him dance with Isaiah. You can also chat with him if you choose to meet people at the bar by yourself after Alex's presentation.

On Patreon, Bastien is featured in the following galleries:

Blaze - Herbal Enthusiast

AGE: 19 || ROLE: Student of ??? || HEIGHT: 6'3" / 190 cm || POSITION: Versatile

Sexy stoner Blaze came second place to Trevor during the last Grind'm vote—and the two were neck and neck in the poll until Trevor pulled ahead just under the wire. This tall, lean freshman has a chill vibe and an oddball sense of humor, and the boys of Dorm Wilde can always rely on him to provide a good time.

In the game, you can find Blaze at the frat party by following Riley or Owen's route, then go to spin the bottle. In the upcoming Morning After Update you'll see him in the showers along with all the other dorm boys—and he is not shy.

On Patreon, Blaze is featured in the following galleries:

Forte - Rocker-Turned-Moneyman

AGE: 32 || ROLE: Talent Manager || HEIGHT: 6'1" / 186 cm || POSITION: Verse-Top

Florian Forte was once the drummer of an up-and-coming band whose biggest hit ended up being their only hit. After the band broke up, Forte moved into a behind-the-scenes role to take advantage of the contacts he'd built up over the years. Now he's a top talent agent, wheeling and dealing to make his clients rich—along with himself.

In the game, you can meet Forte via Alex's route. Hang out with Alex during the afternoon, then head to the club with him. You can also find him in a compromising situation if you choose to search the club on your own after Alex's presentation.

On Patreon, Forte is featured in the following galleries:

Gabriel - Not-So-Bad Boy

AGE: 19 || ROLE: Dance Student || HEIGHT: 6' / 183 cm || POSITION: Versatile

Gabriel is a country boy overwhelmed by the hustle and bustle of the big city. He ended up falling in with Isaiah's rival, David, even though his personality is in stark contrast to that of his volatile "friend." He's quiet and sticks to the background, a reticent freshman still figuring out his role now that he's on his own—someone ready to blossom if he escapes the shadow of those with more forceful personalities.

In the game, you can meet Gabriel if you hang out with Isaiah after Skinema's show at the club. You can also chat with him if you end your night at the club by meeting people at the bar.

On Patreon, Gabriel is featured in the following gallery:

January 2024 Guy Gallery: Marco's Figure Studies - Men in Motion

Hugh - Leading Man

AGE: 22 || ROLE: Acting Student || HEIGHT: 5'9" / 175 cm || POSITION: Verse-Top

Hugh is a member of the actor frat, a senior who looks younger than he is—which his agent says makes him perfect for roles in teen dramas. He has big plans and intends to use those roles to leap into bigger and better projects. With his twunk physique and natural good looks, his path towards stardom seems destined to happen.

Hugh's character model has seen a number of updates. He has a new body that better fits the twunk archetype, and he has more realistic skin textures that improve his overall appearance.

In the game, you can meet Hugh by hanging out with Owen in the afternoon, go to the frat party, and then hang out with Marco. You'll also encounter Hugh in the current dev build of the Morning After Update if you spent the night at the frat, whether by staying with Evan or hooking up with Julian.

On Patreon, Hugh is featured in the following galleries:

Kaleb - Timid Twink

AGE: 18 || ROLE: Undecided Student || HEIGHT: 5'8" / 173 cm || POSITION: Verse-Bottom

Kaleb is somewhere on the personality spectrum between fellow freshmen Evan and Connor—overwhelmed by this whole college thing, but still eager to explore who all he can be now that he's on his own. He got into 21CA based on several talents, so he's taking classes in many different disciplines to figure out what exactly he wants to pursue.

In the game, Kaleb will first appear towards the end of the Morning After Update. His first appearance will be relatively brief, but he'll pop up more as the game progresses.

On Patreon, Kaleb is featured in the following galleries:

Kash - Cocky Comedian

AGE: 21 || ROLE: Acting Student || HEIGHT: 5'11" / 181 cm || POSITION: Versatile

Kash is bold and popular actor who prides himself on his humor and off-the-cuff wit. He intends to become the next big comedic superstar—one who can pull off action and drama, too. He has a tendency to good-naturedly tease his fellow frat members—though sometimes he takes roasting his bros a little too far.

In the game, you can meet Kash by hanging out with Julian at the start of the frat party, during which he may come across as a bit of a dick. But if you hook up with Julian and spend the night, you can see an interaction between Kash and Julian in the current dev build of the Morning After Update that hints there may be more to their relationship.

On Patreon, Kash is featured in the following galleries:

Lachlan - Middling Mixologist

AGE: 22 || ROLE: Bartender || HEIGHT: 5'10" / 180 cm || POSITION: Verse-Bottom

Lachlan is famous at Atelier 54 for his bartending skills—but not in a way he likes. No matter how hard he tries, he can never quite get a cocktail right. But that doesn't matter too much, since much like his friend Griffin, the affable blond is not interested in exceling at his job so much as looking for his next conquest amongst the clubgoing college guys.

In the game, you can meet Lachlan by going the club and hanging out with Griffin.

On Patreon, Lachlan is featured in the following galleries:

Parker - Theatrical Thespian

AGE: 20 || ROLE: Acting Student || HEIGHT: 5'11" / 181 cm || POSITION: Verse-Top

Parker was the runner up in the first Grind'm vote with Jordi just edging him out for the win. It's no surprise he proved so popular—his broad, theatrical personality combined with his unabashed confidence makes him the life of the party. Oh, and him packing a confusingly large appendage might have something to do with his popularity, too.

In the game, you can meet Parker at the frat party. Hang out with Owen in the afternoon, go to the party, hang out with Marco, and then choose to watch the monologues. You can also see him if you look around on our own at the start of the party.

If you spent the night at the frat, whether by staying with Evan or hooking up with Julian, you can encounter Parker in the current dev build of the Morning After Update—and discover that the tales his trouser snake's size were no exaggeration.

On Patreon, Parker and his anaconda are featured in the following galleries:

Quinn - Brooding Dreamer

AGE: 18 || ROLE: Photography Student || HEIGHT: 6' / 183 cm || POSITION: Verse-Bottom

Quinn is another 21CA freshman known to be quiet, but unlike some of the others, it's not due to shyness or nerves. He's a dreamer who often gets lost in his own head, conjuring up scenery and people he's seen so as to figure out how to capture their beauty on camera. It can be easy to mistake his broodiness for aloofness, but if he hits it off with another creative person, he has tons of ideas he'd love to share.

Quinn's character model has had a few updates. His body has been changed, though I did make sure to keep him thick both in the front and back, and he has a better quality hair asset.

In the game, you can meet Quinn at the start of the frat party via Riley's route, during spin the bottle, and after spin the bottle if you hang out with Marco. In the upcoming Morning After Update, you'll see him in the showers along with all the other dorm boys.

On Patreon, Quinn is featured in the following galleries:

Rodney - Raucous Impresario

AGE: 22 || ROLE: Music Student || HEIGHT: 5'11" / 181 cm || POSITION: Verse-Top

Rodney is an aspiring music producer, a natural hype man who loves attending his friends' shows to cheer them on. He's a boisterous guy, friendly to everyone he meets, and is a go-to for any fellow musician looking to enhance their compositions. He's currently working with Skinema to produce new demos.

In the game, Rodney can be found at the club by meeting people at the bar after Alex's presentation, and later by heading backstage with Skinema after their show.

On Patreon, Rodney is featured in the following galleries:

Uriel - Master of the Masquerade

AGE: 21 || ROLE: Acting Student || HEIGHT: 5'9" / 175 cm || POSITION: Verse-Bottom

Uriel wasn't always wandering around in vampire drag—he changes personas as he explores new roles, living as a character full-time so he can truly inhabit them on stage or screen. He's as broad and theatrical as his frat brother Parker, but in a much more dramatique fashion. Uriel has spent so much time as various different characters that no one is quite sure who the real Uriel is—perhaps not even himself.

In the game, you can meet Uriel at the frat party by hanging out with Julian, then watch the monologues later. You can also see him if you look around on our own at the start of the party.

If you spent the night at the frat, whether by staying with Evan or hooking up with Julian, you can encounter Uriel in the current dev build of the Morning After Update

On Patreon, Uriel is featured in the following galleries:

Wes - Laconic Small-town Boy

AGE: 18 || ROLE: Animation Student || HEIGHT: 5'7" / 171 cm || POSITION: Versatile

Wes is from a very small town—one that wasn't all that accepting of those they don't consider "normal." Wes got used to being quiet so as not to get called out for being gay, then fled to the city the moment he could, dyeing his hair pink and picking up some tattoos along the way. He's in the animation program, where he is free to draw anything as gay as he wants, and is often seen connected at the hip to his roommate, Jordi.

In the game, Wes can be found at the club via most routes and can be chatted with by hanging at the bar solo throughout the night. In the upcoming Morning After Update, you'll see him in the showers along with all the other dorm boys.

On Patreon, Wes is featured in the following galleries:

Xavier - Pompous Director

AGE: 18 || ROLE: Film Student || HEIGHT: 6' / 183 cm || POSITION: Verse-Bottom

Xavier is someone you might politely call self-assured—or not so politely, a massive snob. He takes his study of film very seriously and hasn't yet learned that just because someone doesn't share the same passion doesn't mean they're not as bright as him. He might just lighten up as the year proceeds, especially living in the same dorm with guys like Jordi and Blaze who will make him have fun, whether he likes it or not.

In the game, you can meet Xavier at the start of the frat party by hanging out with Evan. You can also meet him if you leave the room after catching Marco jerk off, as well as via Isaiah's route if you end up making out. In the upcoming Morning After Update, you'll see him in the showers along with all the other dorm boys.

On Patreon, Xavier is featured in the following gallery:

May 2023 Guy Gallery: Riley's Rounds - Introducing Connor

Zeno - Boisterous Vagabond

AGE: 35 || ROLE: Psychology Professor || HEIGHT: 5'10" / 178 cm || POSITION: Verse-Bottom

Zeno is Connor's psychology professor, an enthusiastic, good-natured man with a big personality and a booming laugh. Originally from Greece, Zeno has been traveling the world for the past few decades, favoring tropical locales where he makes a point to meet as many different people as possible. He's currently teaching at 21CA to share his observations with budding artists who really want to dig into the minds of the characters they create.

In the game, Zeno will first appear in the story update following the release of the second Grind'm scenario—just in time to be met should he win the vote for the third Grind'm scenario that'll follow. In the Morning After Update, you'll be able to spot him in the background of a CG or two.

On Patreon, Zeno is featured in the following galleries:

That's all 16 contenders! If you're a Graduate, head on over to the Round 1 Poll to vote for who you want to see more of. If you're not a graduate, the comments are a great place to cheer on your favorites!
