This'll be messy. Jump right in.

Marmaduke Warbeck
25 | MCHB | Ravenclaw Class of '81 | NEWT Examiner | 6Marmaduke is the second youngest son of his large, oddball family. Ravenclaws, Hufflepuffs, and Quidditch fans may have familiarity with him; Revolutionaries or
Augurey Beak Cafe regulars
definitely have familiarity with him. My hopes for his character arc are fairly open for the time being.
Friends! Marmaduke is a quiet, nice enough seeming fellow when he's not waxing poetry about the inevitability of death. Fellow alumni, work buddies, Revolutionaries, academics, and friends of the family can all count themselves within his circle. His closest friends and family have generally been those as comfortable (or even more comfortable) with writing as speaking.
Enemies! While he does his best to avoid harsh words, there are certainly those he clashes with. Brash personalities, and men doubly so. Those who have no appreciation for introspection. People who ask "mind if I smoke?" mid-lighting up, even though he didn't mind just a second ago. Purebloods are regarded with some suspicion, even though he's always been comfortably middle-class and closer to a pureblood's lifestyle than a muggleborn's.
Lovers! Marmaduke has romantic aspirations. He likes to picture himself with an intelligent, independent wife, three kids, and respectable standing. On the flipside, he has also gotten incredibly invested in a man in the past (role open), and then suddenly stopped visiting after he off and got married. How rude! In short, Marmaduke has good but Narnia-deep closeted intentions.
With all this noted, he is open to hurling with ACAB. I like it messy. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Ahmet "Armel" Koch
25 | WCMB | Complicated education history | Chef | 10
Born and raised abroad, Armel has Anglicized his name and been working in a French restaurant in London since '79. If your character has Anatolian or German connections, it's a small wizarding world... }
His education history spans Constantinople from 1874 - 1877, Germany 1877 - 1879 before dropping out to work through an educated connection.
Friends! Working and middle class, primarily. He has pen pals in Constantinople and Germany, possibly other places as well. Restaurant workers, Ottoman immigrants, and beggars who were snapping up leftover food from the restaurant might be on friendly or terms with him.
Enemies! Diners who probably don't realize they're on his bad side. People he may like who have stumbled across incriminating evidence of his past. Anyone who's ever wrinkled their noses while uttering the word 'spicy'.
Lovers! Ahmet swings both ways and is no fool to what happens when men and women mingle. In the past, it is possible he's had flirtations with women, and actual dalliances with men - especially in Germany for men, and possibly in London for either. Individuals of interest were most likely competent at something, and not known for promiscuity.
Hurling-wise, I'll say 'yes' to most threads especially even if it's bound to end badly.
Low difficulty - If you want a character to be pursued by him, hurl a reserved spinster or an aloof man at him who have alright to excellent reputations and are working class.
Medium difficulty - middle class, childbearing-ready, or dubiously reputable women; middle-to-upper class, or lackadaisical men.
High difficulty - upper class, dangerous to pursue, large-family-craving, or married women; married men, men who have a demonstrated ability to tie cherries with their tongues.
