Name: haru

Contact: PM because honestly i mute discord quite often, tho i do respond there if pinged.

Plotting:

[ inhales sharply ] so, sylvain. 26(M). in very simple terms, he's a troublemaker that quite often uses the game to destress, except that his coping methods for his Very Stressful Corporate Job involves fucking up his relationships in the game as well while being really good at his class. sylvain can go from being very caring and helpful to being a problem. to the few friends that he has, however, he's quite helpful. he might even take the time to be a big bro (tm) like figure, just don't do what he does.

personality-wise, he's charming, polite, easy-going. goes by @ princecharming on the net, feel free to message him. he does his best to separate his work and online life, but if your character has worked around the entertainment industry you've probably had a wild gautier encounter. probably got banned in some other MMO forum for having mod affair drama. if you're extremely online, you've heard of his antics.

for the event:
- feel free to play as one of his many exes, it'd be funny. promise i think
- dungeon events: sylvain takes these things seriously, you can rely on him to tank.
- casual encounters: he's a party person, sure. he'll be there.

Anything else? he's a fire lord partizan!

give me Thread

Don't Wanna

im kidding ofc i want Thread, it's been years .... ages ...... decades ......... whaddya want, a dungeon party?

hawu-chan so mean to me..................

dungeon party would be good!! we could also have them meet at the event and see how that shakes out. we could transition from party to dungeon run, probs

i only give what u deserve .........

yeah that works, i'll have a toplevel

good good, i'll hit it up!!

hello i love his vibes but also i think hector is kind of similar personality wise, at least on the surface, and i think they could get on splendidly (or terribly, i am here for both) (also sylvain is old enough to join the old men guild, come on in)

ALSO... hector is a healer so... heal-tank duo??

good for dungeons defs! that's a pretty good pairing. hector's gonna find out that even in games the man has no sense of self-preservation bec that's just how we roll, baby.

also lmao him being an old man ...! he'd gladly join .... sense of community ... companionship, belonging .... mayhaps even stability. give it to him

oh another one?? hector has no self of self-preservation either and will willingly throw himself into danger to help someone else so... either its gonna go great or rip the dps in this party actually

LMFAO belonging and stability with these tired old bastards... opens my arms

omg hector ..... he's supposed to be the reckless one. watch as he dies saving him multiple times bec that's the jam

NO SYLVAIN DON'T DO THAT UNTIL HE GETS THE REZ SPELL but actually this sounds like a disaster and i love it. lets do it

sylvain is like IM IN THE MIDDLE OF SKYPE MEETING i'll have to die

yelling GET OFF SKYPE

multitasking trying to smile for his dad while watching his healer stress out as he dies on the screen, messaging hector love u babe :(

(no subject)

secondthoughts - 2023-07-28 22:45 (UTC) - Expand

i can't wait for sylvain... i just know he and fai's cr will be some brand of disaster and i'm excited

i'm trying to think of a CLAMP equivalent for him and i think i gotta dig back to X. he's like yuuto? but less amoral. he does have some principles.

oh yuuto i love that guy and tbh i see it

i do think they'll get along pretty well tbh.... i hope sylvain tells him about all the mess he's caused in guilds

I'm so glad one of our fire lord partizans is taking the game seriously because this guy sure isn't (he is here to just farm for dyes and dress up funny.)

I hope they get weird cr because of that.

oh yeah! like he'd be so happy go lucky and then be like seriously guys let's get some work done ... let's get this BREAD :(

please tank while hani facepulls, it'll be a party!!

he'll tank AND get himself killed by being reckless, it's the sylvain way

🤔 DO YOU WANT TO BE EXES

before mithrun's accident, he used to be quite social! however, he was honestly kind of a prick deep down and had a lot of issues that aren't really constructive to a proper relationship (also, he was in love with another woman up until the accident, so like) (though it's also canon that, in his head, he kinda didn't respect her that much either)

mithrun's name irl is morgan chatainne, and his family is Wealthy (mithrun himself went into research and was a ~luminary of his generation - also, uh, entered a crime syndicate and got involved in drug money, which does seem like a likely link to entertainment business, but money deleted that any suspicion the police might've had), so i can see him + the gautiers having crossed similar socialite circles. if you're interested, he and mithrun could've entered this relationship they probably secretly both knew wouldn't work out, pikashook it didn't work out and sylvain was sylvain, and they broke it off.

mithrun is a weirdo now post his accident (it was on the news briefly, it was quite recent) so it might be kind of weird for sylvain to interact with, on top of the whole ex thing. however, despite mithrun being so "whatever" about most things in life, it would be incredibly funny to me if he could still hold random bits of whatever sylvain might've done against him. brain injury cannot stop your ex from being so much your ex!!!

ANYWAY LMK WHAT U THINK IT'S ALL GUCCI IF YOU'RE NOT DOWN LMAO mithrun is a weird character so i totally understand

no i'm up for it! they met at some industry party, sylvain kept in touch with him because wow, we're both pretty awful people, right? haha wanna date? and sylvain was probably unnerved that they're both pretty awful people and being perceived is A Crime, so he broke it off. not like it's anything serious, right?

he'd probably check in on him, exes aside, just wondering how mithrun's been doing; and absolutely he can hold it against him that sylvain is pretty terrible in a relationship. wants something long-term, can't hold anything long-term. i once wrote him as a gemini pretending to be a scorpio in a psl i was doing with someone: that kind of thing.

tl;dr i'm down for it!

yay!! :D GEMINI PRETENDING TO BE A SCORPIO... we love to see it

yeah, that can absolutely be how it went. mithrun back then probably took on the relationship for appearances/self-validation (i have a partner, he's good looking, i'm accomplished, see how good i am?) and felt he didn't have to worry about appearances with someone who kinda sucked like he did; i think would've 100% held it against sylvain for breaking up with him even if frankly that's not even the most unreasonable move to make in a relationship like that like just look at them,

despite being kind of a prick, i can see mithrun having formed an attachment to sylvain/The Concept of their relationship; he probably would have felt betrayed when sylvain broke it off in a, like, "what, was i not good enough for you either?" kind of thing - in part also because he's pretty sore over the fact that the person he loved at the time chose his brother (not a prick) over him. (there was probably also a moment of indignation, too, where he was offended sylvain broke it off with him instead of the other way around.)

in a relationship, mithrun (as he was) was probably pretty outwardly perfect, if at least publicly - never late, always the correct level of affectionate, extremely flexible but firm when needed, etc. in private sylvain probably got mithrun's slightly filtered thoughts/personality - though he was never directly awful, someone being Nice! :) probably has a weird vibe when you know they're Really Not Great. if sylvain hadn't broken it off mithrun probably would've kept it going in a vice grip until it crashed and burned terribly.

if he checked in on him pre accident, i think mithrun would be like "^_^ so nice to see you again! anyway, i've got to go, but i'm sure you know all about leaving people!"; post accident, he'd find mithrun is pretty changed - blunt, indifferent, but probably with more mixed feelings toward sylvain. wouldn't shoo him off but, for the fun of it, i'll say he's probably still figuring out those weird ex feelings. u sure u good to party up u sure u won't just log off halfway through jw
