PhD ScD Senior theoretical physicist at the California Institute of Technology. IQ of 187. 212 friends on Myspace. I am looking for someone with a valid driver's license, an affinity for comic books and zero objections to signing a relationship agreement.

Troy and Abed

Troy and Abed Greendale, Colorado.

Occupation: Students

Troy and Abed's dating proooofile. If you like pizza, zombies, early morning talk shows and being friends with Batman then we've got a proposition for you. Like Morpheus in The Matrix, although none of our jelly beans have caused memory loss… yet. If you can help us with defeating the darkest timeline or passing Theoretical Phys-ed 101 we may even let you into our secret dreamatorium. Also Troy is really good at air conditioning and plumbing maintenance.

Velma Dinkley

Velma Dinkley Coolsville.

Occupation: Mystery Inc.

Age: '30s

hy um Vlmui Dicdk. Jinkies, sorry I didn't have my glasses, I can't see a thing without my glasses. I'm Velma Dinkley and I spend my spare time with four of my best friends travelling the country. For a while I worked as NASA researcher, but don't let that deter you from saying hello! At heart, I'm an entrepreneur who loves solving mysteries and helping out folks I meet in my travels. I'm looking for someone who doesn't scare easily and loves dogs, preferably talking ones!

Hermione Granger

Hermione Granger England, Great Britain.

Occupation: Witch

Age: 18

Height: 5 foot 4 inches

I'm only writing this to throw my jealous friends off the trail as I secretly prepare for my date with Viktor Krum. He's a Durmstrang student and the Bulgarian National Quidditch team's seeker. Unfortunately some of my narrow- minded friends have failed to embrace the fact the Triwizard Tournament is about international magical co-operation. Anyway, I'm Hermione Granger and I've got an exam in the morning so I'm going to bed before any of you get another clever idea to get us killed, or worse, expelled.

The Doctor

The Doctor Gallifrey, Whoniverse

Occupation: Time Lord

Age: 35

Height: 5 foot 5 inches - 6 foot 2 inches

I'm 903-years-old, I've got two hearts and I travel through space and time in a blue police box that's “bigger on the inside”. That's what everyone says, I love that bit, when they say that. Anyways I'm looking for a companion, someone not too dumb but not too bright so that I can constantly explain the world and my thought process out loud. Preferably someone human. You see you serve a very important narrative device for my life and without you, well, that'd be awfully boring for the universe now wouldn't it? Anyway never mind the confusing bits, it's all wibbly wobbly timey wimey stuff anyways. Allons-y!

Samwell Tarly

Samwell Tarly Horn Hill, the Reach

Occupation: Maester, Student

Age: 21

Height: 5 foot 6 inches

H-hello, my name's ehm Sam. Uh, I uh, I'm not sure what to say here. I'm not really good at talking to girls, or fighting, or… or much anything else… I've never filled out a ‘dating profile' either but I read about it once in a book at Castle Black. Also I killed a White Walker a while back with dragonglass so, maybe I'm not such a coward after all aheh. I recently travelled to the Citadel to continue my pursuit as a maester, but they've told me I can't bring girls in here so perhaps I'm looking for a pen pal more than anything. I hope John's okay, I haven't heard much from him these days.
