CHARACTER: Genesis Rhapsodos CANON: Final Fantasy VII
AU NAME: Genesis o’Reilly AU AGE: ~30 AU OCCUPATION: Bookstore owner/bookbinder (specializing in repair and restoring) BLURB:
-Born in Banora Point, NSW, Australia (yes, it exists) -Father is Irish, Mother is Japanese. Both are from wealthy families. -When he was about 4 he had come down with a severe case of pneumonia that left him with a weak constitution and asthma. -He spent a few years in the Japanese countryside to see if being in a more rural area would help (and his mother thought Japan would be best and it allowed them to use a family estate). -Genesis did get better but as he still got sick quite easily and also was getting bullied by other children, they were referred to a pediatric doctor who specializes is cases like Genesis in the US so they made the move. -End up near a rural town where Genesis would eventually befriend Andrew Hughes who grew quite protective of him, preventing any further bullying to the “redhead with the weird accent”. -Things did get better by high school, his asthma largely going away unless he’s panicking or overworking himself. He found a love for literature, poetry especially, and theater. -This is also when he started realizing he had feelings for Andrew and while Andrew eventually left to join the army, Genesis never quite stopped liking him. They were off and on for awhile, Genesis in the interim dating others but ultimately, when Andrew came back for good, they got back together again and are together now. He’s waiting to hear in Andy wants to move in with him currently. -Speaking of homes, Genesis’ home is actually the second floor of his bookstore, The Open Book. He specializes in repairing/restoring books along with selling books. Usually used but he will get new books too, more likely the new/popular ones but if he's got the room, he'll get as many new books as possible. Rotates between the genres too. -His bookstore is one of those hole in the wall places, but it’s by no means tiny. He also sells/serves tea and brews his own tea and mixtures. He’s popular with the old folk. -Genesis is a bit of a string bean and a freckle face, but despite his health issues and bullying, he’s still a bit of a spitfire and he’s learned self-defense (probably tai chi at his mom’s suggestion) so he’s not a weakling. -He’s not adopted and loves his parents very much! Also, he'll be coming in with a cast on his arm because he was an idiot and fell off a stool in the store. Andrew will be mad and mother-henning it up. News at 11. LOL -I feel like I’m forgetting something so I’ll add more below.
LOOKING FOR: friends or frenemies. Maybe someone who used to bully him. Siblings/Cousins/etc???? His store is small enough that he probably won’t need another employee but I mean, I can adjust!
