⸺ TWO , INFORMATION
eren's upbringing was a tale of privilege and expectation. raised with every comfort, his father envisioned him as the heir to the family business, yet eren's heart lay elsewhere. his blend of strategic thinking from his father and creative flair inherited from his mother hinted at a different path.
from an early age, eren found solace and passion in the kitchen, trading playgrounds for pots and pans. his parents, aware of his talent, supported his culinary passion, enrolling him in courses while other kids chased balls on the field.
at first, eren embodied the perfect child image, seemingly flawless and golden. but as he grew older, hints of rebellion started peeking through, hidden from his parents' watchful eyes. with charisma and charm, he smoothly moved through social circles, using his allure strategically, occasionally hinting at a more darker side.
eren's post-high school ambition was to leave michigan, feeling a need to break free from what he saw as confinement. his plea to attend culinary school in france found swift approval from his parents, leading him to board a plane without looking back.
in france, eren's culinary skills dazzled, garnering him praise and admiration. while he mostly relied on his natural talent he occasionally resorted to underhanded tactics to maintain his edge. despite tempting offers from renowned restaurants worldwide upon graduation, eren opted to stay in france, though he made occasional trips back home to satisfy his mother's yearning.
tw: pregnancy & abandonment. ascending the ranks in a prestigious restaurant, eren's personal life mirrored his success professionally, or so it seemed. however, beneath the surface of what seemed like a perfect relationship lay disconnection and separate lives. when his girlfriend revealed her pregnancy, eren's response was immediate—he denied paternity and cut ties, hastily moving to another province to avoid the subject.
returning to michigan under the pretext of familial closeness and his desire to open his own restaurant but really aiming to dodge his ex's legal pursuit of child support.
⸺ THREE , PERSONALITY
THE BAD
he's been spoiled rotten, never once grounded.
incredibly persuasive, he can easily wear the nice guy facade.
he firmly believes he's untouchable, free to do as he pleases without consequence.
deeply fearful of his mistakes being exposed, he's even more terrified of letting down those he cares about.
he harbors grudges intensely and can be vengeful if he deems it fitting.
THE GOOD
super disciplined, maybe won't win father of the year, but he's dead serious about his job.
strategic and methodical, he always thinks twice before making a move.
charismatic and charming that makes him approachable and likable
he's got a sharp wit and can think fast on his feet.
when it comes to family, he's fiercely loyal and protective. like ngl he's a good son and brother.
⸺ FOUR , HEADCANONS
i mean i know what you're gonna ask, ella why doesn't he take a paternity test and get over with it. and my answer is idk friend, men can be cowards and he's just like why bother.
speaks french fluently and i'm sure he's that annoying person that "forgets" words in English because he's so used to french. (ngl that's me too but so la voo or whatever)
also about the french. claims to be fluent (and he is but he has a slight accent, sue him) yet Parisians keep speaking to him in English. the goddamn nerve.
extremely competitive. he's lost friends over game boards but he thinks those were weak friendships because why would he be friends with someone who goes bankrupt on monopoly?
while he always loved cooking, not many people know he was a picky eater as child but he's learned to get over his four-year-old palette and now eats most. except for olives, he still agrees that they are disgusting.
if hypocrisy were a talent he'd be the best of his kind. should have been a politician really.
claims his favorite movie is dead poets society but it actually is mamma mia! (sue him again for liking fun)
can't watch a movie with a dog in it unless he's checked the website does the dog die? first. if the answer is yes, he won't watch it.
⸺ FIVE , CONNECTIONS
listen i will make a page i promise, not today and maybe not tomorrow but soon meanwhile here are some scraps my one brain cell has allowed me to think.
best friend: i mean i know i haven't sold him as the greatest human being but he is a loyal friend to those he actually likes.
childhood friend: again, listen, he was a very decent human being as a child.
enemies: really people he's fucked over or have seen through his facade.
high school victim: I feel like this can also be in the enemy category bc yes, but maybe he subtly bullied this person in high school but no one really knew?
exes: maybe your character got the nice boyfriend maybe he got the asshole. I'm down for whatever.
one night stand: maybe not one night but you know the drill.
love-hate: I'm sucker for these connections. gimme the tension, the hate but the desire like pls.
failed date: went on a date, didn't work out
also I will steal many plot ideas from taylor swift songs bc I have no original thoughts.
