To reserve a 2nd character you must have a pass for the previous month's AC with your first character.

October Workshop Character Directory

Regene Regetta | Gundam 00

[personal profile] fratropathic 2017-10-18 06:27 pm (UTC)(link)
PLAYER: mads
CHARACTER: Regene Regetta
CANON: Gundam 00

AU NAME: Renard "Call me Ren" Regnault
AU AGE: 21
AU OCCUPATION: College student, city hall intern
BLURB:

- The Regnault family are well-established in Recolle and have been for generations, carving out a place for themselves in the city's economic and political spheres. By following and anticipating upcoming trends in technology rather than holding fast to outdated systems, they've moved seamlessly from being factory owners to software developers, and now the largest generation of Regnault children yet (eight siblings in all) appear poised to take over the city with ever-diversifying spheres of influence.
- Ren is the second of those eight children. His older brother will inherit the business interests, so he is expected to take his uncle's place in city politics. There are four boys and four girls in this branch of the Regnault family, with two sisters after Renard in the birth order, a boy, two more girls, and then the final boy.
- Ren is also lazy, perpetually bored due to an insufferable blend of high intelligence, high arrogance, and low investment in the world around him, and a dyed in the wool instigator. The only time a situation tends to grab his interest is when it has enough potentially volatile component parts to make stirring the pot entertaining.
- "Social experiments" are his forte, in which he charms his way into several connected social circles and then sees if he can nudge them into falling apart.
- Yes, he's essentially a classic for the lulz internet troll who has taken his hobby irl.
- He's getting all of his education on his family's dime, naturally, so he doesn't take school all that seriously and, as such, is still nowhere near graduation at 21 years old. The family have threatened to cut him off and give his opportunities and responsibilities to the next in line, though, so he's scored himself an internship with a prominent city politician to mollify them.
- Other than messing with people both on the macro and micro scale, his interests include personal styling (fashion, doing hair and makeup for himself or others, etc), European history (weirdly enough, his favourite classes in school), languages (he speaks several, English and French both being spoken in his home), and he's the most incredible coffee snob you've ever met. Think "kopi luwak is overrated" coffee snob.
- Personality-wise, he's an excellent social chameleon, but particularly astute people can see through his falseness and will probably despise him or just have no time for him.
- Appearance note: his hair is golden brown and his eyes are hazel.

LOOKING FOR: Family??? Could be distant cousins, aunts and uncles, siblings, whatev! School friends, enemies, profs, etc. The politician with whom he's doing his internship, of course, and/or others in the office. Connections in local business or politics well above his current pay grade, just bc he wants to muck things up for his siblings and maybe take down his whole family??? If he has a free day in his schedule sometime. People who work for his family and could thus resent him and/or suck up to him. Current or former lovers (of any gender identity) who get/got to deal with his brand of serial monogamy with liberal amounts of cheating, or the flings he cheated with.

ANYONE, ANYTHING, THIS GAME SEEMS SO COOL, HI!!

thesettingsun: smile (I guess I get it now alright)

so Shuji here has been in college for a While, and is also super into fashion and personal styling

does Ren live on campus? because Shuji was living in the dorms until really recently and I haven't established who his roommate was

[personal profile] fratropathic 2017-10-18 08:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Ayyyy they even look slightly similar! Pretty bros making the world as pretty as them, one makeover at a time.

Ren's definitely got a cushy but not over the top apartment provided by his parents, because then they can threaten to yank it out from under him if he keeps under-performing. Maybe in their first year they both did makeup and hair for the art/design dept's fashion show or something? Or a production by the theater dept? I like the idea of them meeting through that somehow!
thesettingsun: smile (if physics dictates)

[personal profile] thesettingsun 2017-10-18 08:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Makeup and hair for the fashion show sounds excellent! Shuji's 25, but he keeps dropping out of college and retaking courses after a break, so his 'first year' could have conceivably been almost any time.

[personal profile] fratropathic 2017-10-18 08:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Ahhhh, I love it. I just checked out his app, and he looks like he could be a perfect foil/patsy for Ren if they were friends, since he's intelligent but with that layer of naivete and tendency to avoid direct conflict - never the target of Ren's plots, but always so close to the blast radius that people could mistakenly blame him and often getting "WHAT IS HIS DEAL" type complaints about his buddy.

Or they could totally not get along and deal in heavy, heavy passive aggression, because they seem pretty well suited to that as well. What do you think?
thesettingsun: smile (when it's bad it's so bad)

[personal profile] thesettingsun 2017-10-18 08:33 pm (UTC)(link)
That first one sounds like a great choice!

somebody: what is that guy's deal
shuji: man idk

[personal profile] fratropathic 2017-10-18 08:35 pm (UTC)(link)
SOLD! I love it. Ren will also be a horrible influence on the whole learning responsibility and self-sufficiency thing because... what are those, even? He thinks he's allergic to them.

[personal profile] doublesmall 2017-10-18 09:05 pm (UTC)(link)
MADS HELLO

okay but what if exes, because chuuya definitely had a few of them and probably wouldn't say no... he'd have been Out if he found out about the cheating (whether he was being cheated on or cheated with) or maybe they just broke up when ren got bored or chuuya was like shit, he's pretty but also a huge pain?? it could go multiple ways here probably

[personal profile] fratropathic 2017-10-18 09:32 pm (UTC)(link)
oh my god... chuuya is such a fantastic source of antagonistic cr that can go full-blown negative at a moment's notice that i want them to have an unpleasant history tbh. i can easily see chuuya being entertaining enough that ren would use him as The Other Man on a regular enough basis for it to seem like a genuine thing, and then everything falling apart when chuuya found out the truth.

IF YOU LIKE, chuuya could've burned the whole house down on his way out by telling the other partner, too, which would cause equal resentment on ren's side because hdu think you have the right to punish me? but not actual retaliation because effort.

Knock knock! It's Ren's darling sister!

[personal profile] fratropathic 2017-10-19 04:31 pm (UTC)(link)
UGH NOT YOU.

Is she the one who's next in line, that his parents always use as a threat when he's fucking up? Because holy shit, how beautiful for her.
prideinbattle: (we'll see)

[personal profile] prideinbattle 2017-10-19 05:10 pm (UTC)(link)
She would love holding that over him. And she's always waiting for him to fuck up.

[personal profile] fratropathic 2017-10-19 05:26 pm (UTC)(link)
I love this so much. Please breathe down big brother's neck all "I'm gonna tell mom and daaaaaad" while worshiping biggest brother without question.
prideinbattle: (peek)

[personal profile] prideinbattle 2017-10-19 06:44 pm (UTC)(link)
She is the biggest brat! I need a name for her...
