• Please note: you need a reserve to apply, so please plan accordingly! Reservation dates can also be found on the game calendar and coincide with the TDM.
• For current players who are interested in 2nd or 3rd characters, please review and follow our policy about AC! To reserve a 2nd character you must have a pass for the previous month's AC with your first character. For a 3rd character, you must have a pass for the previous two months' AC for both of your characters. In addition, we do ask that the AC for the current month be met and filled into your AC comment by the time of your reserve. It must be full AC.

PLAYER: Eric
CHARACTER: Rideaux Zek Rugievit
CANON: Tales of Xillia 2

AU NAME: Zeljko Rugievit? Maybe? SOMETHING SLOVENIAN THAT DOESN'T MEAN CURTAINS
AU AGE: 29
AU OCCUPATION: Either an overpaid attorney for rich assholes or a douchebag fashion designer who casually ruins the self esteem of every model on his runway. idk THESE ARE VERY DIFFERENT THINGS BUT IT COULD REALLY GO EITHER WAY... I'm gonna go with the latter right now in this blurb but this is subject to change!!! Input is welcome.

BLURB:
🍸 Born in eastern Slovenia, which was part of Yugoslavia at the time. Moved here with his parents when he was six to get away from the post-secession economic crisis and to get better treatment for some chronic health problems.
🍸 He never had much money growing up, and was just kind of the kid with the accent who was out sick all the time for the first few years here, so he really didn't have much social interaction when he was young.
🍸 By the beginning of high school his health was a lot better, he'd gotten rid of any trace of an accent, and he'd started putting a lot of effort into his outward appearance, so he basically got a fresh start. He still didn't have any meaningful relationships, but at least he was finally popular for shallow reasons!
🍸 Ended up getting into fashion design; he didn't have the financial resources to get any kind of business started, so he went on some kind of Project Runway show and came out of that as the runner-up. Which pissed him off, because personally he thought the winner's collection was a bunch of shapeless oatmeal-colored garbage, but second place still got him the recognition and connections he needed for his career to take off.
🍸 That career hasn't exactly reached the stratosphere yet, but at least he has a label that's sold in department stores, and he has people who recognize him from TV who want to take pictures with him, and an expensive flashy car that he can afford because he still lives in an apartment and has lots of credit card debt. IT'S GREAT.
🍸 Doesn't have an aggressively bad relationship with his family, but he's not really interested in interacting with them either.
🍸 Still has some health issues, but they're well managed.
🍸 He's still a vain asshole like in canon, but since his life has been a lot less awful, he's not burning with anger and resentment every minute of his life now and can at least have a good time.
🍸 He probably has a lot more Instagram followers than you do.

LOOKING FOR:
- Other people in the fashion industry or in related areas (or I guess rival lawyers if I go the other route?? what am i doing)
- Fans, hookups?
- Random people he can be a dick to for no reason in line at Starbucks or whatever.
- Prrrrobably not family unless other characters are also of Slovenian descent?? IF SO I'm all for him having a cousin or someone or that he can constantly try to one-up (looking at you, potential Kresniks...).

OPTIONAL ENABLE ME: I am pretty sure I'm going to do this if only so I can live out my dream of giving him a car to do passive aggressive parking bullshit with.

flings ridiculously long leggy out at you

i mean, yusuke is neither slovenian, in the fashion industry or on instragram enough to know who rideaux is but--!!

... let's figure out something. He draws and paints so maybe he'd be better at drawing design mock ups than you Rideaux how about that
supportrole: (and boys i got it)

[personal profile] supportrole 2017-10-12 05:22 pm (UTC)(link)
god i’m too lazy to change accounts on mobile but YES I LOVE THIS... rideaux will never admit that yusuke’s art is like 22x better than his but he can totally outsource things to him to “save time”

supportrole: (spreadin' it around)

[personal profile] ascatic 2017-10-13 03:08 pm (UTC)(link)
LMAO he'll just... can he bribe with a hot drink or something
pr159: (but i will always have a drink)

[personal profile] pr159 2017-10-14 05:26 pm (UTC)(link)
that probably depends on whether there’s alcohol in it
ascatic: (1)

[personal profile] ascatic 2017-10-14 05:58 pm (UTC)(link)

idk if Rideaux would be into guys but maybe he could have hooked up with Kiyoshi at some point?

Kiyoshi also writes a pretty good food blog, if wanting to keep track of good food places would be a thing of interest.
pr159: (made up my mind to enjoy it)

[personal profile] pr159 2017-10-14 06:02 pm (UTC)(link)
HE’S NOT REALLY INTO GUYS unless he’s doing it out of spite with someone he hates so he can hold it over their head, so probably not to that part, but he can follow a food blog...!! Especially if the places being covered have good drinks.
yakan: (2158799 (1))

[personal profile] yakan 2017-10-18 10:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh it definitely includes the drinks! You can't forget about those when you write about the food!
floret: (better take me)

windowdressing: (or even care)

[personal profile] windowdressing 2017-10-21 04:43 am (UTC)(link)
UPDATES:
- First name is Redžo, and he will be routinely annoyed by the fact that probably no one will ever include the caron over that z or pronounce that letter correctly.
- He's the subject of an internet meme from the fashion competition show he was on where one of the other contestants calls him pretentious for the way he described a color. "'Aubergine' - he's so pretentious. Shut up, it's fucking purple." He hates that fucker.
