CHARACTER: Rosalind Lutece
CANON: Bioshock: Infinite
AU AGE: 33!
AU OCCUPATION: Physics Professor!
BLURB:

• Rosalind Lutece is a 33-year-old professor over at Recollé University. She's pretty new here, only having moved and settled in Recollé two years ago. Very new to teaching, as well: before that, she'd been a scientist.
• Came from Old Money, and people are welcome to recognize the name Lutece as someone synonymous with wealth and privilege.
• Her parents were generally disapproving of her choice in field, but ultimately relented when they saw how passionate she was on it. She attended Cambridge University at age sixteen, and graduated two years later. She spent her twenties working in and out of the laboratory, but found herself eager for something different when she turned thirty. She got her teaching degree and moved to Recollé two years ago.
• She teaches both graduate and undergraduate at the university, and specializes in physics, although she also teaches chemistry and biology.
• Very, very intelligent.
• Personality wise, she's much more social and easier to talk to. Having grown up in a time and place where being a woman in the STEM field was not the bizarre deviancy it once was, she's far more open to having connections and letting people close. She's very wry, very sharp, and certainly doesn't tolerate fools, but she's open to both having friends and helping students. Think Professor McGonagall, but with less cats and more red hair.
• She still works on projects, of course, and actually has an assistant: Kurama (roseblooms, and I've full permission from the player!), who grades papers, aids her in her studies, and generally makes sure she remembers the little things, like not working twenty hours in a row and taking a break to eat.

LOOKING FOR: Friends, first and foremost, right alongside students! Rosalind does best with people who are, in whatever fashion, very good at what they do. She's not really one to be much fussed by legality (or even morality, ha ha, although she's way better at it than in canon). So long as someone is clever, quick on the uptake, and gives her the respect she's owed, she's ready to at least give them a chance. I'd also adore any negative social connections, too: exes and rivals are both welcome!

CHARACTER: Kurama
CANON: Yu Yu Hakusho

AU NAME: Kit "Kurama" Fawkes
AU AGE: 23
AU OCCUPATION: Graduate student (physics), graduate assistant to one Rosalind Lutece (

originallutece), and general lab tech/research assistant to the same!
BLURB:

❁ He's half-Japanese, half-English, but was raised in Japan.
❁ His father died when he was a kid, so he was brought up primarily by his mother, and consequently ended up really hella attached to her because of it.
❁ Excelled in school, particularly in the hard sciences, which ultimately led to him pursuing a major in physics when he went to uni.
❁ Absolutely went through a "huge nerd about Japanese folklore/youkai mythology" phase when he was a teenager that he never quite managed to shake off entirely, resulting in a school friend of his giving him the nickname "Kurama".
❁ Enjoys gardening, gymnastics, chess, and puzzle-related pursuits like codes, cyphers, and lockpicking.
❁ Almost didn't go to university because his mom's chronic health problems took a turn for the worse and he was going to stay at home to take care of her instead, but she put her foot down and insisted that he go.
❁ Almost didn't come to Recollé for grad school for the same reason, but ultimately did when a professor offered to hook him up with a research assistant opportunity that was too lucrative to refuse.
❁ Is generally a very nice guy! Polite, friendly, considerate, but always with what seems like a little bit of disconnect. He tends to be more on the loner side of things, though it's not because he's unfriendly to people at all — if anything, it seems more like he's aloof because he doesn't quite feel like he perfectly fits in anywhere.
❁ Likes to read, is convinced he can club dance but oh my god someone please stop him, and is a major DO NOT CHALLENGE AT VIDEO GAMES. He loves him some video games.
❁ Surprisingly skilled at both sleight of hand and, in a more questionable sense, pickpocketing! He's very benign about it, though, and learned it more for the intellectual challenge than to be an asshole about it at all.
❁ Did I mention he likes to garden because wow this asshole likes to garden. FLOWERS!!
❁ IS PROBABLY GONNA HAVE A REALLY HARD TIME IF AND WHEN HE STARTS REMEMBERING THAT HE'S REALLY A DEMON FOX LIKE HOW DO YOU EVEN COPE WITH THAT

LOOKING FOR:
I'm not really looking for family at all, but he could definitely use some friends! In groups he's absolutely the "smart guy support character" type and surprisingly does really well with loud jerk-with-a-heart-of-gold protagonist types, so if you've got that kind of a character who could use a more steadying presence in their life, hit me up! I'd definitely love to net him some friends who would be willing to not let him be so much of a loner all the time, because left to his own devices that's what he'll tend to prefer. I also think it'd be great if he could hook up with some gamer buddies of some variety, either to play video games with or something along those lines. And of course, anybody who might be at the university, whether it be in a class he's GAing for or one of his own graduate school classes, let's definitely figure something out!

(Also people who are not going to judge him when he apparently starts going through an otherkin phase, like no seriously guys he's pretty sure he was really a fox in another life, for real, he's not making this up...)

BASICALLY GIVE HIM SOME FRIENDS AND I'M SUPER FLEXIBLE ABOUT HOW THAT MIGHT LOOK, SO COME AT ME WITH IDEAS AND I WILL COME RIGHT BACK AT YOU WITH MY OWN.

Edited 2017-04-10 04:04 (UTC)

CHARACTER: Mettaton
CANON: Undertale

AU NAME: Matthew "Matty X" Block
AU AGE: 27
AU OCCUPATION: Musician
BLURB:
• Grew up in a rural area on a farm owned by his decently-sized family. Was a music and pop culture nerd.
• Started a band in high school with a cousin or sibling and a couple of their friends, of which he was frontman, lead singer, and guitarist. (He wasn't actually very good at guitar.)
• First moved out to Recolle for college - studied theater.
• Stayed for a little while to pursue jobs in acting and modeling. Didn't get as far as he hoped.
• Headed back to his hometown, got the band back together, switched from its singer/guitarist to its singer/bassist (in contrast to the guitar, he is a fairly groovy bassist), and actually started making some ground with them as a serious project. New wave and glam rock influences - I'm thinking the Ark meets the Killers meets the more recent 1975. They're not chart-toppers or anything on that level, but they've got a cult following.
• To distance himself from his unremarkable background and a family he was drifting apart from, Matty started calling himself "Matty X" shortly into his musical career - and started pronouncing the "X" as a Roman Numeral "Ten" to make it seem like a little less of an obvious, cheap alias.
• When their paychecks started coming in, Matty moved the band onto its own record label, based in Recolle.
• Band has only had one or two consistent members other than Matty, those probably being the relative and/or one of the school friends; he can be a bit of a demanding creative control freak.
• He's still a huge pop culture junkie - esp. when it comes to music, since it is an area that pertains to him financially. Does some talent scouting
• Also a clotheshorse and a foodie.
• All over social media.

LOOKING FOR: Fans, anti-fans, bandmates or ex-bandmates, other musical/entertainment/business associates, creative types who he might not work with necessarily but who he might be aware of and have an opinion on, immediate or distant relatives, former classmates, anyone else who might've known him pre-career, anyone who might run hip 'n hot establishments in Recolle or who he otherwise might bump into while painting the town - anything goes!

PLAYER: Ty (currently plays Luke Castellan

chiseler)
CHARACTER: Hiro Hamada
CANON: Big Hero 6

AU NAME: Hiro Hamada
AU AGE: 15
AU OCCUPATION: College student/Youtube star/comic shop employee
BLURB: The key points of Hiro Hamada's AU are as follows:
-Hiro Hamada was born as the second of two sons to an average couple in San Francisco.
-Hiro was often left in the care of his older brother and to his own devices.
-From the time he was about three years old, Hiro found himself entertained by complex math projects, science experiments, and tinkering. By the time he was four the neighboring school systems tested his intellect and he was enrolled in kindergarten that fall.
-Flying through the school system, Hiro found the work to become less and less challenging and administrators continued to allow him to skip grades one after the other. Excelling particularly in science and math, he found himself enrolled as a senior in high school at age 13.
-Graduating at 13, just shy of 14, Hiro decided his ambitions were to go to college and attend Recollé University to become part of their engineering and robotics program on scholarships and his older brother came with him. The two currently share an apartment in the city.
-Upon finding and devouring everything the Mythbusters have ever done and other technology/robotics channels, Hiro decided he could do better and set up a channel of his own where he would test theories, explain mechanics and build things on screen.
-Under the channel gizmatics and the alter ego Gadge (pronounced as "gauge" but short for "Gadget") Hiro's worked his way into building a following.
-Lucrative though the channel is, Hiro is still a teenager with more than enough time and energy on his hands.
-In the last few months, he's applied for a real job and now works part-time at a comic book store in Tisse.
-Nerdy though it may be, Hiro knows his superheroes back and forth, as this was something he and his brother bonded over and have shared a common interest in since Hiro was a baby.
-His older brother continues to be his hero and the reason Hiro remains as happy and adjusted as he is. The brothers get along fairly well and Hiro always draws inspiration from him whether his brother realizes it or not.
-His current goal right now is to complete his Bachelors, start on his Masters, consider a Doctorate and bully the RU Administration into letting him guest lecture.
-Most important of all, Hiro has a pet in the form of a white cockatoo that he's named Max, occasionally affectionately referred to as "Bird-max." This bird has been a part of his life since he was 10 as a gift from his brother to help ebb out the loneliness that came from not having a lot of friends at a young age.
LOOKING FOR: Friends his own age, fellow college students, people to argue comics with him, like-minded tech people, people who he would have probably met over the internet, stuff like that!
OPTIONAL ENABLE ME: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

PLAYER: Dana (currently plays Anastasia

constellates, now bringing you something Completely Different)
CHARACTER: Baren Kumou
CANON: Rengoku ni Warau

AU NAME: Baren Kaiyou
AU AGE: 21
AU OCCUPATION: Model, College Student, Graffiti Artist
BLURB: - Baren is a successful model at age 21, mostly because he looks good in anything
- he likes it so much that he keeps his random hair doodads even when walking the street, so he's pretty Iconic just from having this shit in his hair (yes. those are bells and a feather. peacock, he's an actual peacock and yes you can hear him coming)
- he moved to Recollé with his twin sister about three years ago from Japan
- on the outside he's charming and fun-loving to the point of being Devil May Care though it's more like Live Fast Die Young Bad ~~Girls~~ Boys Do It Well
- so that means he gets up to shit like drinking, smoking, gambling, drag racing, what have you and loves escalating parties to the point of earning the moniker Party Satan
- and it seems like he's causing chaos a lot just for the sake of causing chaos and being a pain in the ass
- he has a penchant for graffiti and tags buildings for fun because he just thought that an inside joke he had with a friend was funny so he put it on a wall or it's Japanese motifs and kanji and honestly artistic and thoughtful but it's hard to tell they're the same artist
-he can probably be serious enough to talk about his responsibilities which mostly include taking care of his beloved twin sister
- those moments are Rare bc Baren doesn't like it when people realize he's An Actual Person with Feelings
- he's technically enrolled in the college as a third year (just in case he catches Surprise Ugly one day and modeling doesn't work) but hates showing up for classes. a lot. he's the guy who shows up on syllabus day and then ditches except to show up for exams
- if you manage to worm your way into being someone that he likes, he's actually very good at taking care of people and loyal when he doesn't want to be. secret tsundere.
- oh but he's nicer to women bc his sister puts the Fear of God into him

- now for an au background no one cares about. here's his seedy and sketchy past before he moved, which he keeps super under wraps and on a Need to Know basis (and no one he's met in Recollé needs to know)
- he and his sister were born to a mistress for a politician (of the Kumou family) who abandoned them and their mother
- their mother trained the twins to fake being High Class, paying tuition for private schools and tutors and buying nice clothes instead of good food
- Baren and his sister learned how to be great pickpockets and con artists to get money instead
- eventually they re-entered High Society through their own merit and scammed their own dad into blackmail bc the twins are fucking devil children
- blackmail does not buy a mother's love and health though and she passed away three years ago
- thus resulting in the twins' move to Recollé where they decided to scrap everything they knew and just live how they wanted
- but sometimes you can catch Baren having an informed opinion on something (arts, literature, history, politics) bc he never figured out how to stop being In the Know
- he'd just much prefer that people think he's a good for nothing hooligan (he's unfortunately much smarter than he pretends smh)

LOOKING FOR:
- is your character a straight-laced fuddy duddy? baren's here to be your Manic Pixie Nightmare
- is your character a criminal? they've probably run into Baren. an "honor among thieves" situation would be really interesting!
- does your character need a job? Baren would probably hire a babysitter for himself (read: someone assigned to pay bail if he gets arrested and keep it from his sister)
- is your character a fashionista or designer? he'll model your designs and talk about #aesthetic hell ye
- part of the law enforcement? tbh Baren's probably a regular trouble maker who either can't get pinned for anything he does due to lack of evidence or settles out of court. alternatively, Baren's probably gotten to know a couple of different miscreants so you could always try to make him an informant
- open to flings, hookups, friends with benefits, exes? canon tells us that Baren is popular for some reason - but lmfao if anyone wants to hash out a messy ex story with me, I need it
- is your character a fellow college student? please endure late night cram sessions with Baren
- is your character another model? actor? random celeb? be Baren's superficial friends who he hangs out with but they don't know anything about him
- is your character the type to follow fashion and be a fan? he'd actually be weirded out. please. this sounds funny.
- is your character a social outcast or problem child with attitude? come to Baren. they're actually his favorite types of people. he'll teach you how to pickpocket (why)
- does your character work at the animal shelter? animals love him so he probably brings strays regularly
- is your character another socialite from Japan? really specific but Baren's high class lifestyle extends to Japan only tbh, but someone might be able to recognize him from that - and he'll then swear them to secrecy bc he doesn't want to talk about his past ever ever ever
- is your character a Recollé socialite? sometimes to entertain himself, within the past 3 years Baren will have gone to fancy parties in full disguise to wine and dine and gather information and learn names and influential people before disappearing
- or please help the party satan agenda and make baren an urban legend
OPTIONAL ENABLE ME: lmao nah

PLAYER: Aren
CHARACTER: Yoshiko Tsushima
CANON: Love Live! Sunshine!!

AU NAME: Yoshiko Tsushima
AU AGE: 16-17
AU OCCUPATION: Student
BLURB:
♰ A sixteen-year-old high school student who's been disillusioned with her average, mundane life and average, mundane family for as long as she can remember. Whereas in canon she attempts to cope with this by claiming to be a fallen angel, Yoshiko here has taken a decidedly different approach: delinquency.
♰ While she's not an outright bully in that she doesn't pick fights, she's definitely the banchou type, and has made a bit of a name for herself in school. If you've ever seen this stupid-looking signature spray painted on the side of a building or a street sign, it's her doing, but she's recently taken on bigger artistic endeavors in the streets, much to the chagrin of the building owners...
♰ While most of her delinquent acts are vandalism charges, things she wants passerby to take notice of, she does get into the occasional scrap with other punks; she's a decent fighter, too, and often plays dirty. She sometimes incorporates dumb "Secret Techniques" like the "Fallen Dragon Phoenix Hold" into her kerfuffles, with mixed results.
♰ Haven't decided yet whether she's actually the leader of a gang or if she just likes to go around pretending she's one? Regardless, despite her Reputation inevitably keeping people at a distance, she has a soft spot for friends, and people who are closer to her know that she has a more sensitive side despite her rough demeanor.
♰ Forces herself to talk in this deep voice (her "Yohane" voice, for the canon-familiar) in public, to make herself sound tougher, but her actual voice is significantly squeakier! It's very embarrassing and comes out sometimes when she's surprised or caught off-guard.
♰ She was born in Recollé and has lived there all her life; her father is an accountant, and her mother is a housewife. She has two siblings, one older, one younger. Yoshiko finds the lot of them boring and embarrassing, and dislikes being at home; it's a typical house, with a typical family, and she can't stand a second of it.
♰ She's more street-smart than she is book-smart, but she's still a decent student; she's constantly in detention for her conduct, so her work gets done, but consequentially, her after-school time is never open for any club activities.
♰ She enjoys watching championship wrestling, and loves following the storylines. One of her favorite wrestlers inspired an interest in the occult, and it's something she does research on from time to time. When she thinks no one is watching, she writes dark lyrical poetry, and when she knows no one is watching, she sings it. She also has a budding passion for street art; it's not great, but her work is improving (and getting harder to remove, to the dismay of the police).
♰ Doesn't go anywhere without her favorite leather jacket.

LOOKING FOR: I'm literally open to anything! Friends or classmates or rivals or unfortunate victims of her delinquency, people looking to indulge her dumb hobbies, give me whoever! I haven't decided if I want to actually make her a gang leader, it's kind of funnier if she isn't but everyone assumes she is? But if you want to be part of a gang with her I can totally roll with that too! I'm open to suggestions and new ideas!

Edited 2017-04-10 04:26 (UTC)

CHARACTER: Frank Castle
CANON: Netflix's Daredevil (MCU)

AU NAME: Frank Raban
AU AGE: 32
AU OCCUPATION: United States Marine Corps / handyman when he's not on active duty
BLURB:

Born as the eldest son in the Raban family - a family with a lot of military backgrounds
Has a younger sister, Penelope Raban (mincingminuet), and a daughter, Xion (ceded)
Xion was born when Frank was 16 and two years later, when he was 18, he left to join the Marines to bring home $$$ to support her (she was left with her great-grandparents in another city to be watched while he was gone)
Was on active service for four years before returning back home (at the age of 22) to spend the next four years on reserves, spending time with Xion
Leaves again for another four years (at the age of 26) and returns when he's 30
Recently moved to Recolle with Xion, buying a house in a nice neighbourhood and possibly having a dog and it's all good
Is 32 now and enjoying his free time
Gets kind of bored of doing nothing though so he occasionally is a handyman. It's nothing big or professional. He ain't got a card and he just does it through the word of mouth, but need you need stuff painted? Things installed? Stuff tiled? Typical call-the-handyman things? Then he's your man.
His sister and daughter are big Youtube stars so he quite possibly gets dragged into the YouTube scene. Has a few songs on YouTube dedicated to him from Xion for being an "awesome dad" and they probably have his ugly mug is probably in a few of them. He'd probably be convinced to do an odd video here and there with them
Is that kind of dad to sometimes pick up his kid from school, even if said kid is 16 and can walk home by herself but look, he's a good single dad who wants to spend time with his kid and get involved in her life
Also seen walking the dog around the neighbourhood or around a lot. Gotta do something with all of his free time...
Speaking of dogs, look, if you need a guy to dog sit or give you tips on training them then he's ur guy.
Apparently sings to Earth, Wind & Fire songs and does killer impressions so if you hate that one teacher of yours and needs him to do a funny impression then he can do it
Really, someone needs to convince him to sing on camera and put it on YouTube
Is honestly a generally decent dude who just wants to be a good dad. He's content and is just living out his life. Of course, then he gets back his memories and is like but look, he's not the Punisher right now so be his friend before things get Bad.

LOOKING FOR: Army buds! Neighbours! Fellow dog lovers/walkers! People who'd actually be like 'yes, i'll hire you to fix my sink' and they just let this mysterious gruff man do it. Things like that! I'm down for anything
OPTIONAL ENABLE ME: No one else! (and lord knows i don't need a third character)

Give me tech bros/college students/fellow youtuber collabs.

I'M HERE FOR THIS

we should talk still waves hands IF WE'RE STILL DOING A THING (this being lucy)

i love him

I haven't yet had the chance to play Bioshock myself but oh my god I LOVE THE LUTECES I'm so excited to see her!!

I am here for this. *Puffs up like a puffer fish*

And she is going to make him sing. And probably help him punish with it's time to punish.

PLAYER: Xander
CHARACTER: Stocking Anarchy
CANON: Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt

AU NAME: Starling Anarchy
AU AGE: Early to Mid Twenties!
AU OCCUPATION: Hooters waitress.............
BLURB:

❤ slightly younger sister to panty anarchy (the player gave me permission!). they both work at hooters. i am 100% serious.
❤ she's had a million jobs though, like. she has extreme difficulty holding a job down because she either gets lazy or bored or messes up badly. for example: if she worked for a sweets shop, she ended up fired because she kept eating the sweets on break without paying. taught the elders memes at the senior home and lazed around too much. lied about her age so she could work at the bar. YOU KNOW HOW IT IS. if you want stocking to be an ex employee of your's, comment here and we'll hash something out.
❤ stocking is a fine and dandy nickname because she and panty wrote panty and stocking on each other's work name tags, respectively.
❤ an orphan? her and panty were in the care of the orphanage for a while maybe? every time she was nearly adopted she purposely fucked it up at the last minute. she'd act like she couldn't wait to be away from panty but then chicken out and try to stay with her. Oops!
❤ finishing college, hoping to get into a renown culinary school in france. boy! is she in for a surprise!
❤ a natural blonde but she dyes her hair midnight black. she is also definitely still hilariously goth. she gets away with it at work by wearing an obscenely gothic make up look? no one has told her off yet so she'll continue to do it.
❤ she still has a huge sweet tooth and is known for blowing her money on fancy cakes and tea after paying the bills. at least she's responsible about it?
❤ she has a fashion and beauty oriented youtube channel! her content is on the darker side what with her style and all. from time to time she does tasting videos for sweets, too, but they're not as often.
❤ stocking's a spokesmodel for kat v don (or the in game equivalent of it) so she gets sponsorships and hangs out at all the up and coming places. she generally has her thumb on what's cool. she still works at hooters because she fucked up her youtube plan and has somehow yet to be found?

LOOKING FOR: ex employers, people who might know her from youtube, maybe bakeshop employees who are trying to ban her because she comes in and buys them out of house and home once per month? LMAO, people who would have known her as a child, people who she might have dated for a bit, i am seriously open to anything, please come at me.
OPTIONAL ENABLE ME: i'd die for a garterbelt

AA THANK YOU I'm so excited to bring her to the game! I've been eyeing it since about February, haha.

Edited (look i'm tired it's late) 2017-04-10 04:11 (UTC)

HOLLERS A WHOLE LOT.

Hi there! Liz is actually an adjunct night professor for physics and teaches high school general science by day. I would be totally stoked to have CR of some kind! It's late here so I'm about to dive into bed but, I'll be Back To Plot.

I have Elizabeth's AU stats/history over here if you really want to dive deep.

im just confirming dave + hiro friends maybe

BANGS FISTS

Ax, buddy, absolutely. I feel like he's probably a subscriber to Pen's channel and likes to leave her comments and would also love to pick her brain on reviews of gadget-stuff tbh

The icon sums this up.

I am on board with this!

Bird-Max and Snoop Dogg playdates tho with the idiot boys spamming their friends with snapchats of their animal buds

only acceptable option

eeee I'm excited... Yams is a student at the university but in canon he's a sword spirit so if you think she'd be interested in the whole "regaining totally inhuman abilities" thing then he's here for her ~~experiments~~ questions!!

CHARACTER: Tony Stark
CANON: Marvel Cinematic Universe

AU NAME: Tony [some last name I haven't decided]
AU AGE: ~46-abouts
AU OCCUPATION: Hot shot author (think Castle from...Castle...with the bibliography of James Patterson)
BLURB:
HOT SHOT AUTHOR, HEY YOU BUY MY BOOK, YES YOU!

Tony would be 46 and a professional author. He'd have a professional career writing the kind of novels you find in grocery stores. A little racy, adventuresome, prose that is so casually written it's readable by all but lacks creativity to the point it makes the eyes of the well-read roll, predictable as all get out, you pick up a Stark book you know what you're going to get, etc. He'll have been on the Recollé Times's best seller list many times, tv interviews, book signings, asked to speak at college graduations, the whole deal. He's a big guy in the world of writing, publishers love him! Just, you know, maybe his writing is kind of hacky and penny dreadful and makes more serious writers give him the finger for being so successful. Who cares! He's got fame, money and hot ~~gold diggers~~ lady friends! So will naturally be as insufferable and just as snarky as his canon self before the whole built a massive robot armor in a cave with a box of scraps thing.

The twist is when Tony starts getting memory regains he won't be afraid or annoyed or other negative emotions. He'll embrace them. This will make great material for his novels! If the storyline bears any resemblance to the comics of Steel Lad, well fuck that guy Iron Man is infinity times cooler. Things this will lead to: Tony posting excerpts of his trashy novels on the net, Tony vetting his memories to the net for writing purposes ("so in my quote flashback unquote Iron Man gets his ass —quite literally— handed to him by this Captain America guy. But I mean... He's Iron Man! The protagonist! He can't just lose to Joe Schmoe from Baker's Never Got The Memo Patriotic Is Out Lane. And I mean Captain America? Really? How lame can a rival get?"), Tony advertising his books obnoxiously on the net and giving away free merch, Tony inviting people to his book sale galas, etc.

Basically Tony being a loud, obnoxious butt and sharing all about his canon life is the plan (well except for maybe the bad parts he will be suspiciously quiet about things like Yensen, almost you know dying in space, probs just best to never mention Ultron, etc).

LOOKING FOR:

Adult friends! I would love, love, love people who knew him before his rise to fame and can reign him in/shit on his parade. Call him Anthony and see the pout followed by, "we agreed we don't use that name anymore, this is no longer 1988, get with the times grandpa/ma the world's a-moving". In return he can offer alcoholism and being there for them (sort of, halfassed attempts made, look he remembered to come to your birthday party after it was over what more can you want).

Adult friends take 2! People who met him after he became a best selling author. Probably fellow business people or people he met at events. Maybe you were a cop working security, a reporter posted on a boring story, hell you could have been the busboy for the catering company. Years later you still talk and give eachother a nod and a smirky hello when you run into one another at events.

Idk literary rivals?? That one 7-11 clerk who always razzes him over his purchases? Cop who often catches him speeding and he's convinced has it out for him?

Kid specific: maybe he funds some kind of scholarship and you're in the program so he uses you for good press WHY NOT let's have horrible used by a narcissist CR

Got something else sling it at me and maybe we can make it work!

OPTIONAL ENABLE ME: Pretty set on Tony!

HELLO CANONMATE god I can't tell you how excited I was to see Elizabeth was in game. I honestly was looking at it for Ros and then discovered there was a cast.

But oh my god I'd love for them to have some established CR. Maybe casually knowing each other from both being professors? Those two teachers who constantly share cigarettes out on the landing and bitch about not being allowed to smoke inside, what the hell, why is life so unfair. Or quite possibly they just know each other distantly, being Those Two Physics Professors who trade off night and day.
