CHARACTER: Regis Lucis Caelum CXIII
CANON: Final Fantasy XV

AU NAME: Loreto Vivaldi
AU AGE: 50
AU OCCUPATION: Maestro/Conductor (sometimes composer)
BLURB:

Loreto Vivaldi is the son of world renowned pianist Maurus Vivaldi and the famous Spanish opera singer, Bettina Caballé. He was born in 1967 in Venice, Italy, the self-proclaimed "Most Beautiful City" in the world.

Much like his father, Loreto has an ear for music and he started to take after his father once he begun studying the piano. However, his love for instruments took more of a backseat later in life once he found more joy in composing music rather than simply playing. Loreto is skilled at both the piano and the cello.

While his father certainly had a strong influence in his life, Loreto also grew a strong passion for opera after watching his mother sing countless times upon the grand stage. His love for the drama and pageantry associated with opera inspired Loreto later in life to design elaborate costumes and props for his concerts. He believes that music isn't just all about listening to a few beautiful chords but also experiencing the true passion that lies behind every note. That is why his concerts are quite grand and elaborate in design, not the typical black-tie conservative performances. He likes to include the suspense and thrill of a live opera with that of an orchestral show.

Loreto learned much about how to create costumes thanks to his mother's friend, Stefano Nicolao. Stefano often worked closely with the Vivaldis and often helped Bettina with her many performances. Loreto also loosely learned how to sketch from Stefano's guidance.

When Loreto was eighteen years of age, he enrolled in the Juilliard School of Musical Arts in New York City. There he would often perform with his classmates at the renowned Lincoln Center and later at Carnegie Hall as a fledgling maestro.

It wasn't until he pursued his Masters at Juilliard, that Loreto met and fell in love with the painter Aulea Suzuki. Too shy at first to pursue her, Loreto would simply sketch the painter from affair upon the steps of Lincoln Center and leave his works beside her whenever he would take leave. At first, Aulea wasn't very pleased about having some 'Peeping Tom' sketching her whenever she was out practicing. However, the longer this coy game of affection continued, Aulea started to reciprocate these affections by stealthy painting the unknown artist thanks to a small mirror she purchased. After weeks of being the subject of this unknown artist's affections, Aulea finally caught him red-handed.

The pair dated for several years before finally deciding to take the leap into marriage. They married shortly after Aulea completed her studies. Loreto was finished his education years prior and was already crisscrossing the world performing at various sold out venues as a full-fledged composer. They married in his native city of Venice before doing another ceremony in New York for all of Aulea's family to attend.

Shortly after they were wed, Maurus Vivaldi died.

LOOKING FOR: Family, friends, assistants, and even fans!
OPTIONAL ENABLE ME: Shoot me any ideas you have! I'm just shooting the possibility of me apping Regis someday in Recolle.

OMG Fai here is secretly a giant music nerd and originally got a degree in Music Theory and Composition--his dream was to be a composer/songwriter. So you can bet your butt he'd know of this guy and probably be a giant fan :3

Is he now?! Goodness! I would love for Fai to be one of Vivaldi's fans!

I plan on using works from FFXV in his "concerts", so I suspect Fai is a big can of his piano collections. Loreto here is an accomplished pianist as well.

I'm thinking about letting him become a part time professor at the college eventually.

...oh my god, Fai might have to audit some of his classes and just. Sit in the back and quietly fangirl >_>;

"But Mr. Lachance you passed this same exact course nine years ago--"

"Yes but Vivaldi wasn't teaching it back then was he!!"

I offer a fan, and a sort of big name one as well. The up and coming Ballet Dancer Serevin Kimura. His family carried his records in the household and his mother faithfully went to every concert he had.

So it's sort raised into him.

Serevin Kimura will be one of Loreto's fans?! Now that works just swimmingly since Loreto appreciates the performing arts. He might actually know about Serevin here and his rise to stardom.

Goodness! Yes! I can see Loreto Vivaldi's music being quite widely known much like the famous Wolfgang Mozart or Johann Sebastian Bach but with a more modern twist much like the REAL Vivaldi.

Performing arts peeps gotta support each other. /nods/
