TDP Casino AU
Nyx is a croupier who earns big tips by being charming
Runaan’s head of security, and the Moonshadow assassins are his team
Aaravos is the main stage act
he does all kinds of shows: singing, dancing, magic, stand up comedy
Aaravos walks onto the stage and owns the room
Viren is the piano player he flirts with constantly
and his magic act assistant
and his water boy
Aanya is a gymnast and contortionist
she can shoot a bow with her feet while doing a handstand
Gren is the friendliest waiter ever
Amaya is the bartender he works with the most
Janai works in a snack shop across the hall from the bar, serving BBQ and baked goodies like chocolate covered pretzels
she and Amaya have a friendly rivalry even though they’re totally dating
Harrow owns the casino but no one ever sees him in person, he lives in the penthouse with his green parrot and his wife Sarai
Sarai teaches yoga and aikido in the casino gym
she wipes the floor with everyone
their sons have free run of the place but they actually take an interest in the casino’s workings
Callum is very interested in what goes on behind the scenes, the magic that makes everything happen
Runaan does not like Callum poking around his security monitors
Ethari is that badass buff dude who literally makes custom swords in a forge located off the lobby
he’s always busy, he knows his audience
Ethari watches anime and can make anyone any sword from any show
and he makes jewelry trinkets for the jewelry shop across the lobby from his forge, too
it’s run by Lujanne
Rayla is Callum’s lowkey bodyguard
Runaan doesn’t like it at all but it’s the most logical choice
Callum likes it a lot
Opeli works in accounting
she’s always trying to get all the other departments to cut back on their budgets
Opeli: Amaya, you don’t need to use such fancy drink stirrers at the bar, come on.
Opeli: Amaya, do we really need stainless steel frozen cubes instead of ice
Opeli: Amaya the napkins do not need to be monogrammed
Amaya: rude gesture
Opeli secretly sends Aaravos full on dozen-rose bouquets to his dressing room tho
He’s the Star and he knows it
and so does she
Ibis is the restaurateur who runs the rotating sky restaurant on the top floor
Ibis: Of course my prices are sky high. That’s the point
Opeli: nods and uses her employee discount to eat there every day
Corvus works for Runaan but in a subdivision where he tracks illegal activities inside the casino, like drug deals, instead of things that affect the casino directly
he can hack the electronic doors, hot wire cars, and bluff his way through any conversation
Runaan looks the other way because he does these things for the casino
Crow Master is the IT guy
someone keeps messing with Viren’s email delivery system so he’s constantly bothering CM to fix it
it’s Claudia
Claudia rigs the odds on the machines with her hacking skills
Runaan can never catch her because Nyx covers for her
Clauds spends her ill-gotten gains supporting a nonprofit butterfly sanctuary
Soren is a cabana boy
his adoptive aunts, Amaya and Janai, glare daggers at anyone who even thinks about not tipping him well
he also runs swimming classes for dogs and they all love him
Ezran goes with him to visit the Good Boys in Ellis’s doggy day care every day
Avizandum is a high roller
Zubeia is his gem-studded wife
Zym loves to make friends with everyone when they come to stay for a while
Sol Regem is another whale
he always wears red tinted glasses so no one can read his eyes when he’s playing poker
he always wears exquisitely tailored bright marigold silk Italian suits
he tans by the pool a lot and Soren brings him his favorite drinks
they’re all lit on fire
Soren has definitely scorched an eyebrow fixing Sol Regem’s drink before
Because Zym’s so friendly, and such a tempting kidnapping/ransom target, his parents hired a couple of bodyguards to watch him 24/7: Lain and Tiadrin
they wear matching suits and blue mirror shades
and they will absolutely drop you if you even look sideways at Zym
but they’re suckers for all the kids in the casino and are always offering them money for ice cream
Kasef is in charge of valet parking, he’s very particular about the rules of where you can park what
he arranges for cars to be detailed, but he plays favorites
he leaves a sprig of fresh flowers in Amaya’s cupholder
she never knows who leaves them
she gives them to Janai
he orders Aaravos’s limo for him, and it’s always fully stocked
when he orders a hired car for Runaan, it’s always older with a driver who likes garlic
Ethari thinks Runaan likes garlic
Runaan does not really like garlic
Villads drives the casino shuttle bus to and from the airport
no one is sure how
Khessa runs the tanning salon and beauty parlor
Zubeia won’t let anyone else do her hair, only Khessa
Runaan won the annual casino employees’ Best Ponytail Competition last year and Khessa was grumpy for a week
Kazi gets their nails done there (and so does Crow Master)
but their main job is in PR and interpreting for foreign guests
Kazi has friends in every time zone, and they’re the only person who has ever met Harrow in person
(thanks to the peeps in discord for being so inspiring!)
