Oscar | Lupin The Third

[personal profile] riveres 2017-06-10 11:34 am (UTC)(link)
PLAYER: Pash
CHARACTER: Oscar
CANON: Lupin The Third


AU NAME: Serevin Kimura
AU AGE: N/A, he will be 22 in this place too.
AU OCCUPATION: Ballet Dancer at the local company in Recolle, he also has an apprenticeship at Recolle U as the assistant to the Dance Instructor there.
BLURB:
♔ Born a Frenchman, but adopted when he was two by a fairly well to do Japanese-American family that made their fortune in publishing and translation and they traveled often. Eventually they settled in Recolle when he was ten and he pretty much considers it his home. They instilled in him a love of arts, particularly Ballet.
♔ Despite all this wealth and privilege, he's not really all that good in navigating social media and prefer's to keep his privacy. So he depends on his friends to run all of his accounts. For good and for bad, and for the lolz.
♔ He cannot speak or write one word of his native French, but is bilingual in both English and Japanese.
♔ Has been the muse of a popular music artist that have put him dancing in their music video. This has led to some opportunities in modeling and other jobs, but he is fairly serious about his craft and is picky about where he appears.
♔ He plans to replace the instructor once she retires and he's past his peak as a Dancer. It never harms anything to plan for your future right?
♔ He has two older siblings: one runs the company in another city and the other is a socialite.
♔ He does tend to sort look down on others that don't have as much money or privilege as him. (No new money, no tabloid kings/queens and CERTAINLY no one lower class unless they are fascinating or talented.) Of course, it's fairly ironic considering he was adopted into a wealthy family. Some say he's a 'snob', he'll just say he's very picky about who he hangs out with.
♔ Despite this, has a notable weakness towards older rough blue-collar men and stunning, mischievous social climbing women that aren't shy about spending his money and getting him into trouble.
♔ Loves both of his parents, but is particularly the apple of his Mother's eye. (He's never cut his hair for her.)
♔ Is at his peak in the company right now, but isn't the principal male dancer in the company quite yet. It stresses him out quite a bit.
♔ Shares a apartment nearby the company with a roommate and surprisingly pays for his share of the rent and the utilities with his own money. (Everything else? His parents allowance.)


LOOKING FOR:
♔ Friends, the more interesting, and willing to push him out his rich/high class comfort zone, the better. EXTRA if you troll with his social media accounts.
♔ People to look down on. Are you trashy, uncouth and low class? Prepare for the negative CR.
♔ Are you part of a band? A clothes company? He will be your muse!
♔ Socialites, particularly if they are willing to be his older sibling and embarrass him.
♔ Fellow DANCERS! For companionship and rivalries!
♔ A roommate, preferably someone unfamiliar with snobby rich people.
♔ ANYONE, I am not picky.

Slides into here with this potentially troublesome heiress...

What do you have in mind? /eyebrows/
scarlet_devil: ([Adult] Thoughtful)

[personal profile] scarlet_devil 2017-06-10 02:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, nothing solid right now. Let's start by establishing CR and going from there.

That's agreeable. /nods/

I can offer Laurent! Personality-wise he's fairly high class but he's also the son of a billionaire media mogul so sort of... COMPARED TO ARTS AND STUFF owning news channels and stuff might be considered too New Money or something? It depends on how you angle it since the company built itself up over three generations but equally it is earned money not inherited via fancy titles and land owning so by that definition, new money.

He's also Actually French and speaks it so yknow.

I AM FINE WITH EITHER APPROACH TO THIS CR.
riveres: (but i feel nothing)

[personal profile] riveres 2017-06-10 01:36 pm (UTC)(link)
I kinda want the Kimura's and Duvere's to know each other and perhaps AU!Oscar met him at a function after expressing to his parents a wish to know his roots.

So he got a friend he can snark with that puts him down about acting like a Eurosnob, but not actually BEING ONE.
anguinous: (☼ 3)

[personal profile] anguinous 2017-06-10 01:48 pm (UTC)(link)
I am up for this! c: Laurent is pretty ace at the art of being faux polite and integrating himself in social circles so he probably delicately dodges people at a lot of functions who like, low key want to suck up to his family or marry a daughter to him.

He would appreciate someone he can sit with in a corner and snark with tbh even if they're fake European.

DW friend he can help you fake some Parisian manners girls love it.
riveres: (loathing self-assassination)

[personal profile] riveres 2017-06-10 01:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Your son is a flirty french snob, our son is sort awkward wanna be snob that has forgotten his french roots. Let them hang out, we can get a good deal out of this!

They might've even took some trips together to the homeland to help Severin out. Be helpful. /nods/
anguinous: (☼ 3)

[personal profile] anguinous 2017-06-10 02:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Maybe! Laurent tends to be very focused so he's probably a workaholic and preoccupied by making sure his brother is doing well, so if Severin came he'd probably feel a little third-wheely yknow. Laurent would try to be polite about it but it might be in that 'I WISH I COULD JUST STAY HERE AND INTERVIEW MY BROTHER FOR 12 HOURS ON EVERYTHING' way HAHA.
riveres: (let’s pretend that nothing went on)

[personal profile] riveres 2017-06-10 02:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Poor dude, and he would just awkwardly go away for a while. XD

Sounds interesting already.
true_noir: Aged Up Commission (Tipsy)

[personal profile] true_noir 2017-06-10 01:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Being predictable and saying hi to your little misanthrope. I love the AU idea.

Off-hand, I suspect she would probably qualify as "Low Class," unless he happens to like her flower shop, so they miiiiight have met at one of Emilie's functions if she was invited as a friend and +1. I doubt she'd be thought well of, though she is usually... usually polite.
riveres: (fresher than you ho)

[personal profile] riveres 2017-06-10 02:10 pm (UTC)(link)
...Misanthrope is the right word to use in terms of Oscar huh?

Normally he would look down on her, but maybe if proved to be 'fascinating' then maybe he wouldn't be too cruel to her.
true_noir: (I prefer smirking smugly to smiling hone)

[personal profile] true_noir 2017-06-10 03:13 pm (UTC)(link)
I think it's pretty apt at times. Hehe.

We can play this by ear and see how he reacts. What qualifies as "Fascinating" can depend from situation to situation after all.
kiraeyes: (happy valentine's i guess)

SO I'M NOT EVEN SURE WHEN I'M APPING HER YET but misa here is definitely new money from a fad skincare craze that her parents' cosmetic company pioneered, she's 1000% a social climber who has no qualms about flirting her way into invites to exclusive parties and events and stuff and she's also a social media influencer who spends way too much time on Instagram for her full time job.

She's also a part time print model usually for the brands that sponsor her clothes etc. so!! They could be coworkers of some sort and vaguely passing as friends? Misa treats everyone as her friend!! Until you infringe on what's hers, and then the claws come out :)
riveres: (will not let you break my pride)

[personal profile] riveres 2017-06-11 04:20 am (UTC)(link)
Ew, one of those Instagram models, gross. /may or may not be the one responsible for recommending Misa for a cover of a magazine his family owns/

But yes, cold distain and a secret fondness.

mari is super rich they could float in some of the same circles??
and then she can drag him out clubbing even though hes obviously older than her (it makes her look older!!!)
riveres: (let’s pretend that nothing went on)

[personal profile] riveres 2017-06-11 06:26 am (UTC)(link)
no mari no, I don't like these clubs...

DO IT.
