Looking for a Pretty Boy

So I'm writing a novel, and I'm using Daz Studio as sort of a pre-visualization for the scenes as I write, similar to the way a movie might be broken down into storyboards. I have the characters dialed into the heights and locations where I imagine them being in the scene. http://www.daz3d.com/aiden-for-m5 is my main character, V5 shows up in several scenes, http://www.daz3d.com/aspen-for-gia plays an FBI Agent...lotsa love for Morris, I guess. Anyway, one scene I'm writing calls for a Pretty Boy, and I thought it would be fun to ask for some suggestions of characters who might fit the bill -- I don't pay much attention to the guys!
When I say he's a pretty boy -- he's from a future where humans have pursued genetic engineering in a quest for "perfection". In his case, either Nordic or Aryan style perfection (he's a bad guy.) He's got perfectly symmetrical features, a toned, athletic body (but not huge) and is probably between 6'1 - 6'3" and would represent an idealized vision of Aryan handsomeness. I don't want to delve too much into the story, but this is actually going to be a fun scene where this guy kicks's the protagonists butt!
I actually think Michael 6 could be made to fit the bill, here -- he certainly has a J. Crew pretty-boy look about him, but I'm open to any suggestions. Anything that could help me break my writer's block and write the scene would be wonderful. Thanks for any suggestions you might come up with -- I far prefer browsing this site for female characters!

I'd suggest looking at some of Jepe's characters, like Nathan: http://www.daz3d.com/jepe-s-nathan-for-michael-6, Jonah :http://www.daz3d.com/jepes-jonah-m4
or Liquid Rust's Jozef: http://www.daz3d.com/jozef-m4 or Spencer: http://www.daz3d.com/spencer-for-m4
and FW's Oliver: http://www.daz3d.com/fw-oliver-hd-megapack
Tim,
Thanks for those links. Wow -- kudos to the depth of content right here in the Daz Store. I would've never known about any of those guys. And they're all impressive. Jonah-M4 almost looks like Thor and Spencer for M4 is every bit the Pretty Boy I visualized in my mind. I do occasionally see some of the M5 - M6 charactes, but there's a massive back-catalogue of M4 stuff that I just never stumble on.

You may want to mix the morph with a different matt. Fred Winkler and Rayia both have some very striking morphs. If you are using Genesis or Genesis 2 you have a wider choice of potential matts.
Greetings,
I strongly second Oliver; he's who I thought of, just reading the subject line...
-- Morgan
Yeah I was going to suggest FW Oliver too.
I think FW Sebastian does a good job of just hitting the pretty side of the pretty/handsome divide.
Sean for D5: http://www.daz3d.com/sean-for-david-5
Amon by Raiya: http://www.daz3d.com/amon-for-m6
FW Alfred: http://www.daz3d.com/fw-alfred-hd-for-michael-6
I thought of M4 Elite Jeremy - http://www.daz3d.com/m4-elite-texture-jeremy
Raiya has some pretty boys too...
for example
http://www.daz3d.com/gareth-hd-for-michael-6
http://www.daz3d.com/gabriel-for-michael-4-and-michael-5
http://www.daz3d.com/summer-edition-josh
or if you like to stay with Morris
http://www.daz3d.com/gunner-for-david-5
http://www.daz3d.com/andrei-for-freak-5
Or you could buy morphs/shapes that you can mix and match to get your own unique look and use one of the many skins listed here to use on your own character.
I was thinking D5, too, particularly when the main character is M5. What about Dean (rhymes with Sean, oh wait, it doesn't!). I really liked D5—shame that we are unlikely to see David in future generations.
Wow! I went to bed last night and woke up to a truckload of suggestions. Fun!
Sadly, I have to go off to work, but I'll be looking these over when I get home. I'm impressed by how many "pretty boys" there really are on the site. And thanks to all those who've commented so far. Off to work
Liquid Rust has another available that I use quite a bit, it is my favorite to use with Michael 4 http://www.daz3d.com/lr-jayden-for-m4
