Aymeric de Borel | Final Fantasy

[personal profile] heiresy 2017-06-12 03:40 am (UTC)(link)
PLAYER: Oli
CHARACTER: Aymeric de Borel
CANON: Final Fantasy XIV


AU NAME: Amadée Burrell
AU AGE: 23
AU OCCUPATION: Law Student
BLURB:

Amadée here came over to the US with Estée a few years ago from France. He's dedicated, hardworking, and he really cares about his classes. He thinks he might do law as his career, might go into politics. He was groomed for it most of his life and he happily falls into step with this role.He was raised with money and he takes it a little bit for granted.

He has a decent apartment all paid for and has never had to go hungry. He was adopted as a few day old infant. He has a clue who his "real" parents are, but was unable to get the truth from his parents before they passed away in his late teens. He's a little out on his own because of that. Truth is, his birth father was a pretty shady guy who called in a favor for his illegitimate child to be adopted without a trace.

Amadée keeps super busy with his school and pre-career life. He participates in club activities, he tutors, and he is the more responsible person in his rental agreement. He could have a girlfriend (or boyfriend) if he didn't so obsessively pack his time with scheduled activities. It has him pretty stressed but he doesn't see there being another way about it.

Altogether he's easy to get along with, a leadership role sorta guy, helpful, and charming.

LOOKING FOR: Rivals, friends, frenemies, classmates, people he would tutor, whatever really!

Oliiii hello again

Lutha/"Lucas" will probably be getting into trouble with Estée on several degrees because of course he will but I'd love to establish something with Amadée. What kind of tutoring would he have been doing, and for what age ranges? Lucas is also up in the high socialite end of things due to his family and their connections, if that could be a link for them.

[personal profile] heiresy 2017-06-12 04:42 am (UTC)(link)
HIIIIii omg hi!

Amadée will be tutoring French, Maths, and History. He'll probably stick from late highschool through his peers. Amadée will totally be entrenched in rich kid and bourgie stuff. I hope they cross paths cuz of Estée's bullshit tho.

Is Ser Aymeric--I mean, Amadée, a movie fan? Inquiring minds want to know!
heiresy: (Time for a round of stripple triad!)

[personal profile] heiresy 2017-06-12 07:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh my god, you know it. I read and loved your AU workshopping, i just hadn't moseyed over yet.

His parents were very elderly when they adopted him so I think a lot of his hobbies and interests are a little old-set for him. I am open to any ideas you have or if you're open to Adamska being a family friend through connections or Amadée just having grown up as a fan!
sonofpatriots: (Through the doubts and fear)

[personal profile] sonofpatriots 2017-06-12 10:00 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh goodie! I'm glad you liked what you seen so far and what excellent usage of the word "mosey"! I've been fine tuning everything and I'm more than willing to have Adamska be ferried off to the US much later if that means his family could be chummy with Amadeè's.

Adamska needs friends!
heiresy: (sternly elfs at you)

[personal profile] heiresy 2017-06-13 01:45 am (UTC)(link)
I'm also open to Amadée's family just kind of going from the US to france because they can. Amadée's family could have connections in the US from way back, and Adamska could be one of them.

It would be interesting for Adamska to be a weird uncle figure in his life. Maybe the last they saw each other was a funeral or something?

[personal profile] sonofpatriots 2017-06-13 02:08 am (UTC)(link)
A weird old uncle who's pretty damn cool and surprisingly dapper!

I like the sound of all of this so far! They could meet at a colleague's funeral and link up over brunch or something.

Yes, please. I am so pumped for this. By extension Adamska would kind of know about Estinien/Estée since they hang around each other a lot. Except Estinien's a bit of a disrespectful bastard. Adamska could easily pull out a "I remember when you were 13 tough kid".

[personal profile] sonofpatriots 2017-06-13 03:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Estée? Oh, that name is just darling~! The cutest of names for the Azure Dragoon. I'm quite familiar with FFXIV: Heavensward since I played it quite a bit prior to my PC needing a tune up. Best expansion ever.

Young Estée was probably a heck of a lot like "Eli" from Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain. I can see the little tyke balling his fists and putting up his dukes at Adamska while being like "I don't need no adult's help!" Just the thought makes me smile quite a bit.

Even in canon, Adamska has a slight paternal side to him that he tries to keep under lock and key. It's highlighted in Phantom Pain the most, so I'm actually eager to play this idea out.

Adamska will definitely be that strange old uncle that the two need around. Ha, I need to hit up the Estinien player for some ideas of how to wrangle this plot.

Ok ok omg so I played mgs up through 3 and that pep game and I can't wait to see what good shit you have in store for us. I used to play ocelot on LJ like ten years ago. This is honestly so serendipitous.

Also AGREE heavensward is best.

I can't wait for them to get Sunday brunch and try to wrangle estée into proper clothes for important type events. I hope ocelot gets to adopt some girls but if he can't maybe two boys can help fill that void.
sonofpatriots: (What a mess we made...)

[personal profile] sonofpatriots 2017-06-13 04:27 pm (UTC)(link)
You used to play Ocelot back on LJ!? /gasp!

Goodness, this must've been around the time Fission Mailed, that MGS dressing room was up and running. I know I very briefly played as Psycho Mantis once but I can't remember if I ever took him there. This is so awesome! I rarely get to meet other MGS fans. We're like rare these days.

Having Adamska adopt these two rascals will be rewarding within itself! Estée & Amadée. Gosh, I love their names. So French and adorably pompous.

The idea of Estée in proper clothing for once actually makes me laugh something awful. Gods, he's going to complain!
heiresy: (Default)

[personal profile] heiresy 2017-06-13 04:54 pm (UTC)(link)
I will openly admit that fission mailed was partially my fault. I was there from day one when we banned rp from capslock_mgs and made fission mailed as a result. I played a good ocelot and a parody ocelot way back then. Good god. I think I remember you. I remember a really funny mantis and I think we only ever had one or two. It was the hot place to play mgs back when. Jesus that was like another lifetime.

Anyway what do Adamska's days look like? Is he in filming currently or on a vacation or what? Does he have the kind of schedule where he would drop in on his sort-of sons?

Just wait until adamska sees their apartment. It's half nicely decorated and half beer cans and pizza boxes.
sonofpatriots: (Through the doubts and fear)

[personal profile] sonofpatriots 2017-06-13 05:25 pm (UTC)(link)
/GAAAAAAAAAAAAASP

No way. Just no way! Really? I remember "capslock_mgs" and the drama there about the rpers being around. So you're the one who made Fission Mailed? Oh, thank you for that! I remember cracking up at the threads in that musebox. Best time ever! I didn't play too often but I did venture in there every once and awhile as Mantis. It's been so long! I swear it's a lifetime ago. I wish I could remember more but all I remember is the hilarity.

Adamska just agreed to make the sequel to his hit film Sons of Liberty, so he'll start filming mid summer-ish. As of right now, he's more than free to suddenly drop in on these two rascals and check up on them.

LMAO! Lemme guess, Estée is the one with the pizza boxes and beer motif. Man, he's going to make him clean that mess up!
heiresy: (he says he can fit a dragon up his ass)

[personal profile] heiresy 2017-06-13 07:01 pm (UTC)(link)
YES. I was one of 2 people that introduced the RP onto capslock_mgs. I didn't officially make fission mailed, the head mod of capslock did, but it was in direct response to us lol This is such ancient history. This is like 2005-7 jfc

I'm so glad movie star uncle's career is still doing hot. Amadée, when not in public or if he forgets himself, can call him tonton Adamska. Tonton is a childish way to say uncle and funnily enough is also slang for a police informant or a snitch.

Look, Estée is the worst. He doesn't even use a sheet for his horrible beer and blood stained mattress on the floor. His bedroom is a goddamn crime scene.

And following the thread right below, we're totally gonna join. You have us so pumped..!!!
sonofpatriots: (Default)

[personal profile] sonofpatriots 2017-06-13 08:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Ahaha! Awesome! This is like a trip down RP history. 2005 is like prehistoric to us now. lol

Oh, Adam's career is still going. He's right up there with Viggo and Alan Rickman (bless that man's soul).

"Tonton!" Oh, that's just too precious. I'm all for Amadée referring to Adamska this way among family and friends. It really works well since Ocelot is a bit of a snitch canonly. We all know he can't keep his mouth shut~

A dirty mattress on the floor?! The heck is Estée doing? He needs an intervention today! Watch, the first misadventures will involve them going to IKEA or some mess. LOL

YES!!!!!!1111 I'm already working on this app! May ask you to check it out and, of course, I'm willing to extend the favor. Aymeric is definitely a favorite of mine and his tragic tale gets to me. Thordan was a horrible father but he somewhat wanted to do right by Ishgard in a twisted kind of sense.

I have no idea how I feel about Stormblood, the next expansion. That fight with the Griffin felt so lackluster. I swore he would be one of the main villains but then again, SE loves to make great characters and concepts just to flush it down the toilet. i.e The Scions in general. /rambles

Why hello, I saw that you and Laurent were conspiring to be flirty and French together. Well this is Faolan, Laurent's poor disgruntled Irish bodyguard, who's going to coming with him to school and pretty much everywhere he goes unless they hire another man (when he's not escaping out on his own that is..... :|) SO! There's a good chance that these guys will definitely run/have run into each other that way?? :')a
heiresy: (sweet slick eyeliner)

[personal profile] heiresy 2017-06-15 03:33 pm (UTC)(link)
OH GOOD. I am sure they will run into one another then! What's Faolan's opinion on all these little rich boys running around? Is he comfortable around their sort or is the money just good?
reticence: (modern conversational)

[personal profile] reticence 2017-06-15 06:36 pm (UTC)(link)

WELL Faolan isn't technically all that bad off himself, though he lives very simply so you'd never really know. The money is very good, but really he's there because he likes the job, and he is good at it. Also he is good friends with Laurent's older brother Auguste (as much as a bodyguard can be without breaking the rules) so he feels something of a loyalty to him to keep Laurent safe as well. Though all these spoiled little rich boys running around creating trouble for themselves and making his OWN job (of keeping them safe) WILL grate on him a little. Tl;dr he is driven by loyalty, then the job, then the money. He would PREFER for the clients not to annoy him though lmao :|

[personal profile] heiresy 2017-06-17 04:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Aymeric's not an annoying boy, but his best friend is a bad influence bad decision machine. Faolan might have to fistfight him at some point if they get drunk and rowdy.

Hello law student, how about some CR with a law professor?
heiresy: (sweet slick eyeliner)

[personal profile] heiresy 2017-06-17 02:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh my god, hell yes. Aymeric will stop at nothing for good grades and recommendations. So say hello to your new whipping boy.
