Sanji | One Piece

[concasse]

PLAYER: Marie
CHARACTER:Sanji
CANON: One Piece

AU NAME: Alessandro "Sanji" Vinsmoke
AU AGE: 21
AU OCCUPATION: Business Major at Recollé U
BLURB:

AU HISTORY
Born a quadruplet to a French father and Italian mother. Both his parents were ecstatic but for very different reasons.

Said reasons eventually led to divorce; the father was from an extremely wealthy family and played dirty to keep his sons, allowing the daughter to go off with the mother.

Turns out Vinsmoke wanted his sons to compete for the family business. Sanji's inherent strength was his kindness, which in daddy's eyes meant shit all. He turned a blind eye as Sanji was physically and mentally abused by his brothers.

Kindness couldn't save him, so Sanji worked double time to systematically beat his brothers in every area - schooling, physical prowess, business, etc. By the time he was 16, it was obvious he was the best choice as heir.

TOO BAD it still didn't earn his father's love, who didn't want to be proven wrong and so kept viewing Sanji with contempt. At this point Sanji lets his rage fly free by flouncing out of the family, penniless. He attempts to find his mother, only to find she's been dead for years. He can't get ahold of his sister.

After wandering/traveling a year or two, doing odd jobs to keep himself fed, he gets enough money for a one-way ticket to Recollé. He's bright as hell and scores a loaded scholarship. He's also arrogant as hell because hey man, flaunt it if you got it.

Currently is finishing up college but jesus wept, he's bored. Say whatever you want about his father; that fucker still homeschooled his sons and as a result, Sanji's way ahead of his class. It kinda infuriates him but haha, daddy issues.

AU PERSONALITY
Anger is his shield and sword, and he will wield it indiscriminately. Comes with the territory when you've been raised in an abusive household. He's calmed down since moving to Recollé but banter is not his forte. He tends to take meanspirited jokes to heart and strikes back for the kill.

mmmm that arrogance. He gives off a vibe of being the self-proclaimed smartest person in the room because that's what he's used to, and uh, survival instinct. if this is pointed out, he'll either kanye shrug or go out of his way to prove he really is.

Generally more polite to women but if pushed, he will cut a bitch (canon Sanji is fuckin weeping)

Surprisingly fond of kids? Teenagers, too, go figure. He will beat the snot out of someone if they mess with kids.

Is secretly a squish ball who just wants friends, but uh, how does one un-train themselves from believing everyone is out to stab them in the back?

CAN'T COOK WORTH AN ACTUAL DAMN, I'M GOING TO HELL. All his energy went into not-dying under the hands of his brothers, cooking was never a thing he got into. At best, he can manage a simple dish of like, rice and beans. He tends to eat whatever his friends are cooking, and at least has the grace not to complain... too much.

He still smokes and curses like a sailor thanks to those two years of living it rough.

LOOKING FOR:

EXES. GIVE ME ALL THE EXES. Sanji in this AU is looking for love but isn't trusting enough to keep it, so he has a bad habit of working up the courage to ask for a date and then dumping his partner after like. A month. With an apology and zero explanation. It really is him and not you. Exes can range from bitter as hell to realizing Sanji needs therapy and not giving him too hard of a time. I WILL TAKE ANYTHING.

People who will put up with Sanji's initial shit? He's an angry, suspicious ball of fire, no matter how he actually craves connections with other people. So once you get passed his asshole shell, he's stupidly loyal. And probably has to be told that yes, he will go to jail if he murders a man on someone's behalf.

People who won't put up with Sanji's shit and just hate him, ROFL. This is his default, he will shrug it off with a smirk. COME AT HIM, MOFOs.

Roommates! Sanji isn't here on his father's dime, so he's in the dorms.

Anything and everything, honestly. Give me CR, I thirst.

OPTIONAL ENABLE ME:

N/A for now!

[evidentiary]

sanji!!! kyouko is the same age and i <3 one piece. she doesn't really Date so the most she would have done is go to coffee with him like, once, without thinking of it as a date but maybe they could be classmates or friends eventually? she doesn't mind people being assholes as long as she can snark at them so.

[concasse]

Yeeeeees to all of this. Her personality would go a long way into chilling him out, so I think this works perfectly for them. LET THEM BE SNARKING BUDDIES.

[spirithacker]

so obviously shinji and sakura will have CR, but I have a bratty child and you have a semi-bratty adult who likes kids

[concasse]

AHAH YES Sanji would be fond of this little shit-stirrer.

He could possibly be a tutor for Shinji?

Re: Sanji | One Piece

[freeskies]

Sooooo I brought this up in your Plurk, but I'm ok with exes! This would be a mutual "we have a problem" break up and perfectly amicable. IT ALSO HELPS THAT SANJI IS YOUNGER THAN HE PREFERS BUT STILL.

[concasse]

Sanji never thought a mutual breakup would be possible but goddamn he is Glad For It, okay? Someone he doesn't have to feel awkward around.

... He'll probably give him shit for going younger than he prefers because if you slept with Sanji, he takes full opportunity to be a snarky ass.

[crudest]

i'm going to be honest i have no idea how i want to go about this au bc I WANT CR WITH SANJI but baren's been married to zoro for 3 years and is now actively looking for strawhats

HELP MARIE WHAT DO I DO

i'm ngl if you want exes baren also left a trail of broken hearts behind him so like

i'd die

[concasse]

Omg

Please imagine the shitshow of Sanji having dated Baren.

SURPRISE ZORO WE FOUND OUT OF THEM... between Baren's sheets...

Sanji immediately flings himself into the sea, goodbye

I'm crying ALSO HELLO, YES PLEASE TO PRETTY MUCH ANYTHING.

[stagemagic]

I'm changing my comment, because I don't know how you feel about me asking about names. BUT Marie as in the Marie that played Sanji at Lu...ceti? was it? The game where characters had wings?

[concasse]

YES

IT IS ME

[digthefuzz]

Awesome! Byakuya's also a business major, so maybe they could know each other through classes? He might be able to put up with Sanji's jerkitude, if with a beleaguered sigh (and his own jerkiness).

And of course obligatory mention that he and Kurt may know or know of each other because Rich People

[concasse]

I love the idea of Byakuya and Sanji having their own jerk language yet somehow managing to get along to the shock of everyone else.

AND YES Kurt and Sanji can know each other in passing!

[gunsandveggies]

YO

I have no idea how we'd get CR but I am 100% here for this

(Hi, it's Kukki, aka Luke in Luceti)

[concasse]

AAAAAA KUKKI /o/

Haru is admittedly one of those characters who even Sanji isn't going to find fault in. WHO IN THE WORLD WOULD BE MEAN TO THIS MUFFIN? Give him names, he's gonna make heads roll.

We can go simple with them meeting some place like a coffee shop? IDK. Or perhaps they've run into each other enough times on campus. WE'LL MAKE THIS WORK.

[fabrefactions]

Yusuke is surprisingly adept at "not putting up with people's bullshit", so if ice burns are required (... literally? If need be, once he realises he has Goemon) then I am 150% willing to provide.

Also god an au where Sanji can't cook whatvis happening

[concasse]

The angels are weeping, friend, I have crossed all lines and am leaving a path of destruction in my wake.

But no seriously GIVE HIM HELL, YUSUKE. Sanji will dish back because that's just how he rolls, but yes, it helps to have a few people who will just verbally smack him upside the head.

Also Goemon vs Sanji's fucked up fire powers, he's going to swear that's why they keep butting heads.

[coinflipped]

I just want CR with you so I'm commenting. Come at me, Marie. Let's make something work between this bitter business student and this business owner who has a shop of superstitions...

Maybe they go out to drink, if Sanji does that. Maybe.

[concasse]

Damn right he drinks. Sanji wouldn't turn down a drinking buddy, and I know Eizen would be able to dish back Sanji's temperament. Maybe they go out every other weekend and just shittalk for a while?

Re: Sanji | One Piece

[stopbleeding]

Get away from his cousin and best friend you curly eyed freak

[concasse]

JOKES ON YOU, SHITHEAD, HE'S GOTTA REGAIN THAT, FIRST.

[mincingminuet]

Give me Sanji, Marie. Penelope is no Lara Croft but she's probably patient enough to have put up with his initial suspicion phase enough to deal with him in a friendly way. Maybe classmates? She's done some marketing classwork for personal reasons.

She 200% would not date him because of a lot of reasons but they should at least be dining hall friends or something.

[heiroglyphs]

SUP FELLOW BUSINESS MAJOR, Sanji and Vera definitely need to bond over having shitty dads and their ridiculous heir situations. Pretty much the only reason Vera isn't in Sanji's shoes is because her parents waited too long to have kids so she's an only child.

[foeyay]

I don't have any awesome ideas off the top of my head, but I want AU CR with Strawhats because Kamui canonically references OP and wants to be king of the (space) pirates.

Kamui is great with anger because he doesn't give a shit and thinks pissing people off is not only funny but endearing. He's 19 (technically still a teenager!!1!), was dumped in a juvenile detention facility for a year after assaulting a fellow student as a young teen, and still runs in fighting circles because rage should not be repressed. Could be the hypocrite who just barely manages not to get arrested on a daily basis but has the balls to tell Sanji he needs to stop smoking because it's bad for him.

[nachetanya]

... CAN I BE THE EX THAT WOULD PROBABLY LITERALLY STAB HIM?

CAN I DO THAT, MARIE?
