Zelos Wilder | Tales of Symphonia

[personal profile] cursedchosen 2017-04-10 04:26 am (UTC)(link)
PLAYER: Jayne
CHARACTER: Zelos Wilder
CANON: Tales of Symphonia


AU NAME: Probably the same! But I'm open to suggestions.
AU AGE: 23
AU OCCUPATION: Model
BLURB:
⋆ From a very well known (and wealthy) family. As far as everyone knows, he's an only child, and it was assumed that he'd go into politics like his parents.
⋆ Graduated with honors from a prestigious university. Ten minutes talking to him, and anyone will probably come to the conclusion that he cheated and bought his way to graduation. They might not be wrong.
⋆ After graduation, he moved to Recolle to pursue work as a model. This caused a large rift between him and his parents (they foot the bill for school), and he is now estranged. I'm playing with the time-frame for this, but right now the plan is to say that he moved ~1 year ago.
⋆ He still acts like a frat boy. He'll hit on almost anyone, and he's really into the party scene. Avoids responsibility like the plague.
⋆ Probably comes with his own personal group of seventy legitimately screwed over exes. Due to the flirting, he has flings and gets into relationships pretty often, but they never last more than a week because he's bad at being a decent human being.
⋆ He's very rude.
⋆ Despite his carefree attitude, he does put genuine effort into his looks (and his hair), and there are even some rumors that he's taking this modeling thing seriously.
⋆ He has the potential to trust and care about people, but he has to get to know them very well first. And he's very, very stubborn about pushing people away and being a jackass.
LOOKING FOR: Anything and everything! He's a bit stubborn and hard to get positive CR with (at the moment, that will change with time), so he might not have many friends, but he will have plenty of people he's dated and started fights with! Open to family shenanigans, too.
OPTIONAL ENABLE ME: please don't enable me this trashbag is enough

ok so i could either see mista pushing zelos into a puddle for being shitty to his exes OR just fucking with him since he's a prickly guy OR some combo of the above, if any of those would be appealing to you

[personal profile] cursedchosen 2017-04-10 05:00 am (UTC)(link)
i'm up for all of those! zelos definitely deserves to be shoved into a puddle.

[personal profile] rosebleue 2017-04-10 04:54 am (UTC)(link)
(tiny yelling) zelos is my absolute favorite shithead so i'd definitely be down for some kind of CR

garry's a fashion design student, so he might know about zelos' modeling work? maybe he asked him to model for some of his clothes before? anything along those lines
cursedchosen: (Default)

[personal profile] cursedchosen 2017-04-10 05:03 am (UTC)(link)
c:! i'm so glad other people appreciate.

that sounds like it'd be really fun! as much of a jerk as zelos is, he wouldn't turn down a kid's modeling work. ...probably.
rosebleue: (Default)

[personal profile] rosebleue 2017-04-10 05:31 am (UTC)(link)
listen..zelos...u get to wear and get free nice clothes and garry gets an attractive guy to model his clothes for his etsy? it's win/win

garry's kind of a pushover so tbh he'd probably let zelos be a jerk at him to some degree. pwease no extreme bully

i'm sorry for all the free outfits zelos is gonna ask him for and all the bad influence zelos is gonna be.

i'm not sorry at all.
bitemefightme: (seriously)

[personal profile] bitemefightme 2017-04-10 05:39 am (UTC)(link)
Pffft, I think I need this guy. Jackassery is the best stuff ever.

I'd be game for Orion having an ex-boyfriend thing with this guy over the last year or so. It'd be great to have bitter relationship feels on top of his normal problems.
cursedchosen: (Default)

[personal profile] cursedchosen 2017-04-11 02:10 am (UTC)(link)
Yes! Jackasses gonna be jackasses, after all.

I'd be good with this, too! Let me know what you want to plot/headcanon and what you want to happen. c:
bitemefightme: (do the thing)

[personal profile] bitemefightme 2017-04-11 02:32 am (UTC)(link)
Ohh, man, yes!

Do you want me to PM you? Or you can friend me on Plurk and we can plot things out there in real time.

Idek but we should have CR. Maybe Zelos's mom...reads Tony's books and considers him a family friend??? Bugs him about Zelos and asks him to look out for the kid and Tony is like UGH... /checks in periodically to make sure Zelos isn't wanted by the mafia or something. /Offers unwanted adivce. /Gives Zelos unasked for drinks from bars like the terrible role model he is.

Tony is an hot shot author to put the above in context laughs. As such could also be they met at a fancy celebrity type party or a modeling show Tony was invited to. Or they awkwardly share several exs and Tony frequently comments one of them needs to get better taste.

[personal profile] cursedchosen 2017-04-11 02:14 am (UTC)(link)
I like these ideas! The family friend one especially seems like it would be fun to work with. Hesitant guardian for an awful kid whose also a bad influence? Sign me up.

[personal profile] flyguy 2017-04-11 02:26 am (UTC)(link)
Together we will make a beautiful trainwreck, okay. He'll make sure you're not swimming with the fishes Zelos. ...Everyhing else, uh, just don't tell your mom, kid.

omg Zelos. I kinda love the idea that Zelos brought his estrangement on himself. I bet it was for a good cause!!!! maybe... ... m...aybe....... "as far as everyone knows" oh boy.

I can give you a rich girl! Garnet/Ari is a socialite/model who moved to Recolle a little after Zelos did. Since rich people seem to know other rich people, they could be acquaintances if you'd like. Ari's mom is the exact kind of mean, shallow and power-hungry celebrity that everyone hates. Ari's grandfather was also an ambassador so there's politics in there too. However, Ari herself tends to hang out with Dante/Riku and his group of troublemakers, so there's occasional... like... partying and street racing involved in there too... idk just a thought!!!

I also play Sorey but he's still in college and so straight laced he'd probably offer Zelos his shirt if he met him in an alley.

also we were castmates once upon a time. it's good to see you again~

[personal profile] cursedchosen 2017-04-11 02:13 am (UTC)(link)
thank you! i'm having a lot of fun writing this AU for this exact reason. maybe he can actually learn to trust people and have friends this time?

acquaintances sound like a good idea, as mean, shallow, and power-hungry are exactly the kind of people that his parents would be friends with. and as kids of rich parents i can def see them sneaking off for partying and street racing and stuff.

it's nice to see you, too! c:

[personal profile] uncagedbird 2017-04-11 02:28 am (UTC)(link)
Wouldn't that be nice? lmao. Zelos has so many issues, it's a very entertaining train wreck tbh.

YEP........... Ari's dad is dead, but her mother is still alive and is essentially the biggest bitch on the block. Ari recently also pissed her off, so that's a thing too. Rebellion!!! Yay!!!! though I'd say Ari's a touch nicer than pretty much everyone else Zelos hangs with

:D I can't wait to play with you ~♥

Shuji would follow fashion and modeling and be like :ooooo if he actually got to meet Zelos

and then probably get into an argument with him in the first thread, but there would be a moment of :oooo and I'm all for him being a fan
cursedchosen: (Default)

[personal profile] cursedchosen 2017-04-11 02:16 am (UTC)(link)
a fan! c:

i'm so sorry that zelos is the terrible person that he is. at least the meetup should be interesting?

Did someone mention screwed-over exes? Because regrettable romantic life choices are kind of my personal aesthetic.

...prompto will refuse to take pictures of zelos >:T because he probably mocked prompto's photos or something

but i'd love if in general they go from :/ status to being friends, eventually... once they understand each other's differences... also, the fact that prompto's extremely hardworking vs zelos' easier approach/cheating approach to life would be awesome to explore in a relationship +_+

I would do family shenanigans! Fellow wealthy family here. She's a little of his polar opposite-- except she's more of a brat in this world?
