howdy² 🤠 ― hello hello, my friends! frankly, i’ve written about a thousand introductions and frankly they’ve grown a bit trite, so, not to have a game master moment (but to have a total game master moment), i’m going to flip this particular ‘intro’ on its head and do it entirely different...
...by not doing an intro at all. no, everything i will be describing about darling dash should be taken with a grain of salt, because this intro will be modeled to the premise of: what would you know about them if you didn’t know them? I figured this would be more realistic as an ‘introduction’, i.e., if you are not familiar with a person but remain in close quarters (like how i’d imagine a lot of the muses here would be with dash) most everything you’d likely know would be caught through wisps of circulating gossip, observation, or simply through asking others. some of these points may be true, some fabricated, some a straight out lie, but i do like the idea that there will only be fleeting or ruminating ideas about him and can be explored/discussed through interactions. granted, i’d think he’d have a few friends whether NPCs or not at the moment that would know more about him, but that can be sorted later.
[🖤like this post and i’ll be happy to shoot you a DM🖤 ]
without further ado,
he’s fairly new here, a transfer that came over just last semester, although ceased to really ‘hang around’ during the breaks and holidays
he’s 6′3″, maybe 6′4″, and when he walks he tends to lean a little more to his right side
known for a notorious smile and dimples
his family is acquainted with the arnaults, as in bernard arnault, the CE of louis vuitton
his mother―um―most definitely could be described as promiscuous
he has a sister, older
“eccentric, young alain delon”
he’s a romantic at heart, a real ‘wine her and diner her’, but on the other edge of that sword he’s as blunt as an old kitchen knife
is on the fencing team? or was it the swim team? regardless, he’s built for either
he keeps a tidy, leafy, eclectic room; his prized possession is unassumingly an old, wooden victrola record player
“open mind, open heart, and a mouth that won’t f*cking close”
inquiry is his middle name, and he lives for good conversation
his accent has a hint of something foreign in it, but it could just be the busy childhood he had always going and going
at the very least, through the plain-spoken moments he has, he knows when it is time to mind his own business
he likes his jewelry as much as he likes the company of his women
he’s frequently spotted with books, but nothing about his demeanor would really give you an inkling of indication that he actually reads it
he’s well traveled― it oozes from him, and he absorbed his manners that were taught at a young age
starred in a small french film a few years ago
likes to party
rolls up in a freshly polished vintage sports car every other month, swapping them out like library books

trigger warning ; mention of abuse .
a vicious father that breathed immortal into desperate eyes and black and blue onto features that once belonged to the woman he LOVED. you never had a chance or a choice . forced onto ice the minute digits could bare holding a hockey stick and feet balance on skates . the cold nature you were met with was expected . the legend that came from a legend . you would be nothing but what he wanted you to be , that came with sacrifice , including losing her . you could never blame your mother for leaving , even when your face became his new punching bag . better you than her , after all you could withstand it , and when bones started to grow and that voice in the back of your head that said hit him back grew louder , you’d make it the last time he’d ever touch you . but not the last time his grip touched your passion . you told yourself you didn’t do it for him , you did it for you . promised the missing spot where your mother used to stand that you’d be a better hockey player than he ever was , a better man . reminded yourself constantly that you are not the reflection of the monster that raised you , no matter how much the media compared the two of you . and that one day , you would forever be f r e e d of him .

an abusive household birthed beau . his father ( the legend . the man . the oh so adored ) being able to avoid substances but not able to contain enough self control to keep his hands off the ones he ‘ loved ‘ .
his mother gave up everything for her husband .. including her wedding planner business . isolation was her only friend , loneliness was all she felt . getting pregnant with beau made her fearful and brought her back to life at the same time . he was her sun , and it was him and her against the world .
hockey was a chosen path , just not at the hands of beau . his father , from the moment beau’s existence was known of , pictured his son carrying on his legacy . and when the time finally came ? there was no gentle nudge , no ‘ it’s okay if this isn’t what you want to do ‘ . just a demanding tongue and a stern face that would pull the boy from his bedroom at 6 in the morning to train .
was there love for hockey ? yes . despite the lack of control over the part the sport had in his life , beau did find himself falling in love with it . it gifted him things he never knew would fuel him . he credits the sport for always helping to push himself to be better ; and for teaching him that he can be better . better than the year before . the season before . the players before .
cooper moxley never laid a finger on beau until his mother left . she was a punching bag for more years then she could count . a woman holding onto a man that she loved in high school who turned into the stranger she was married to . she endured it until she couldn’t . one night she left and never came back . the press labeled her as awful and cruel . how could a mother ever leave their child ? but beau never blamed her . he still doesn’t . he never could .
it didn’t happen at first . the beatings . beau’s father behavior was explosion in words . making his son feel like less . and then one night after a game that ended in lost , beau and his father got into it . beau , the boy who held his tongue and took the verbal beatings was exhausted, he bit back and what came with it was a hand colliding with his face . he was thirteen .
it went for three years . three years of fists pounding face ( never daring to break anything that would prevent his son playing hockey though ) . to everyone else , cooper was an amazing father raising his son all on his own . he was the legend that gave people only more reasons to fall in love with him . no one but beau never the monster that laid beneath .
one night beau hit him back , with so much force his father lost his footing . after that , the physical abuse stopped but that controlling grip was still there .

beau is majoring in architecture . something that came upon him through the act of traveling , and fit together like it was made for him . it’s more so his hobby and a back up plan as it is something he see’s in his future .
drinking is something beau does but not a lot of . he has a two beer limit , three if there is no practice the next morning . this helps to make him the dd of every weekend , but he truly doesn’t mind .
beau does not speak about his father . he at this point has mastered bypassing any and every conversation about him . this behavior tends to give the assumption that beau and cooper may just have a rocky relationship , but no one knows the real truth of the matter .
personality wise , beau is someone that people normally think positively of . he has this calm and warm demeanor that seems to make others feel at ease . he’s incredibly impatient , and even more hard on himself . someone who pushes himself and pushes himself even when it starts to become overdoing it . he’s not a very let me tell you about my feelings , nor does he reveal what’s going on in his head all that easily . he has a fire roaring inside him he refuses to ever fuel and because of that he is very careful about how other’s perceive . he doesn’t want to be like his father ever , especially in rage . he is not at all a relationship guy , not because he doesn’t believe in love but because he swears he would not be able to find someone in this lifetime who would understand that hockey will always be a priority , though at times that mindset is encouraged by the fact that he has a hard time balancing romantic relations .

flings ── beau sleeps around . and i’d like a few connections to be an example of this . casual . past . current . either would work . however i would like that one person who thought beau and them could be something more and him shooting them down completely broke their heart .
friends ── who doesn’t need friends ? close friends . party friends . friends who only speak to each other in class . ex friends . friends with benefits . give me all the friendships .
negative relations ── i would love some people who don’t like him . whether it be that they got into it one time , one of their friends don’t like him so they don’t either , there was a misunderstanding , RIVALS !!!! , just give me some negative relationships .
other ── im blanking on ideas right now but i do want everything and anything !!!!

BACKSTORY
if you took a good look at his young parents, it’d be pretty easy to see that maverick is the product of a one night stand. two worlds collided: the fast paced grungy world of a traveling rocker and the routine perfection of the professional ballet -- and sparks flew.
a baby wasn’t in the plans but with the knowledge that she’d probably never see the father again, his mother kept the baby and put her career on pause to do so.
despite her korean-american upbringing, the child was named with his father’s stage name as a surname and a suitably rocker chic first name to match.
he’d be a year old by the time he met his father for the first time -- a return tour bringing him back to nyc. he knew of his maverick, vaguely, and wasn’t expected to help out in any way but there was still some natural chemistry between the two and so the child support payments and infrequent visits were scheduled.
now with more monetary support, mav’s mother returned to her work, paying for the finest child care the city could offer.
mav grew with an absentee parent upbringing which gave him no sense of authority and a penchant for mischief. acting up got him attention of his nanny’s if nothing else. but he got what he asked for and was spoiled by the hired help because, i mean, look at him.
music was in his veins and at least growing up, he wanted to be a musician. a singer. maybe a dancer at times. he wanted to be everything but his whims were fleeting and nothing lasted.
maybe it was the flightiness of his upbringing: sometimes dad was in town, sometimes he wasn’t. nurses and nannies came and left. his mother’s mood fluctuated between doting and the undercurrent of resentment for the damper he put in her career trajectory. nothing in his life was stable so why should his interests be?
maverick instead acted on impulse (a trait that would stick with him into young adulthood). he took on momentary interests. picked up hobbies as quickly as he let them drop. he had the same approach with people, friends at school. they interested him until they didn’t and then he could always find something or someone else to replace.
PRESENT
maverick grew into a pleasure seeker. he wanted things that made him feel good in the moment and with an expendable income coming in from both successful parents, that was never a problem.
school wasn’t important to mav but not in a rebellious sort of way. he just didn’t care. blasé about the morality of it, he paid his way through testing and graduated an average student
given his own place at 18 (mother happy to have him out of the house) he spent money with reckless abandon, fueling whatever niche interest he had for the week. animal printed everything, high fashion, obscure sculptures. nothing was off limits.
drinking, drugs, men, women, he was never at a loss of entertainment. he became a frequent at socialite parties -- invited for his good looks, his parental ties but, most importantly, his promise of a good time.
once he started hosting parties of his own, he found his calling. like some modern day dionysus, maverick started hosting filthy parties with every kind of indulgence one could imagine. the only reason he’s been requested to attend belvedere is because some of these hazy, lascivious passion ventures were starting to last days on end and it was causing gossip. he needed some discipline and so though he wasn’t planning on uni, to belvedere he goes
PERSONALITY
in the most basic sense, mav just doesn’t care about anything? but in a chill, lazy smile, it is what it is kind of way. he’s up for whatever and will go along with his impulses so long as he sees some benefit from it.
he’s the popular type. generally known to be fun and not take life too seriously, he’s a good way to kill time. he’s also a compulsive flirter. he can and WILL weave it into any conversation if given the chance.
i would not call him loyal but he’s still good to have around. he’s not going to ‘try’ in school here so good luck to his professors but partying will definitely follow.
FUN FACTS
casually practices polyamory. when i said my muses would hate each other this is a main factor. mav’s out here genuinely hosting orgies and yuri’s got the reputation of a frigid virgin.
definitely doesn’t do ‘long term’ or ‘serious’ relationships but he’ll date casually. for so long as you hold his interest he’ll enjoy the titling of a relationship but not one to enjoy limiting himself for long
has probably purchased a very illegal exotic pet on more than one occasion. was forced to return it to the zoo, sad
has natural musical talent, perfect pitch and a dancer’s flexibility but never developed anything too seriously.
doesn’t know what he wants to do in life besides enjoy it so here we are
if you made it through both intros you deserve a cookie and i love you!

tw illness, death, plane crash, inferred trauma
BACKSTORY
there’s no denying the global impact of the kim family and the money such a union brought in. renowned in south korea, the kim name carries with it the kind of weight one might associate with royalty, overshadowed only by the memory of tragedy.
planned and particular in everything that they do, the kim parents planned to have a single son. he would go into either the father’s place of politics or the mother’s lucrative business ventures. he would be given the illusion of choice though his skillset would ultimately determine their outcome.
yuri was not this planned child.
his elder brother yubin had been the intended ‘heir’; himself a (mostly unhappy) accident
it wasn’t so much a lack of love but, rather, a lack of attention. love yuri got in abundance but not from expected sources. his parents doted upon yubin; yubin doted upon yuri.
the public also loved the pretty second son. fair skinned and sweet faced, he completed the picture of the perfect family presented to the whole of korea -- hiding a fragmented reality just under the surface.
as only a small child (in age and physically) he was taught his appearance means everything -- be that reputation-wise or in a more literal sense. since he was not the expected inheritor, he need only learn for the sake of learning.
then desperate for his parents’ attention and approval, yuri worked twice as hard to keep up with his brother. he studied topics well above his age and learned quickly. naturally intelligent, he absorbed new information with fervor but, careful not to outshine the favored son, he kept himself humble and only shared achievements when directly addressed.
the first blow to the kim came when both boys were still pre-pubescent. their mother became sick. terribly so. to the point where she could no longer serve as acting CEO and handed the business off. it was said to be a temporary power shift -- into the trusted hands of her brother until her son came of age -- and yuri blindly believed this would be the case.
as her condition deteriorated and their father split all his time between hospital trips with her and governmental obligation, the two boys were left on their own more often than not. their uncle became overly involved in their lives in the absence of parental guidance but yuri quickly came to learn it wasn’t a good thing.
conniving but secretive, even a small yuri could recognize red flags in his uncle but with so much else to worry about and in no position of power to stop the inevitable, yuri tried his best to focus on what was important: his family, his studies, his future.
the latter would come to fruition far sooner than yuri would have expected. his father wanted to bring yubin to visit the hospital in switzerland where their mother was residing. he was to learn the family business secrets and begin preparing to take over as soon as he came of age. the two left on a plane, leaving yuri behind with their uncle, but they would never return.
loss is hard enough to process but even harder when, overnight, yuri suddenly bore the entire weight of his family name. his uncle ran for government, stealing his father’s place almost immediately and yuri resented him for it. as if he needed more reason to hate the man.
while he was far off taking the position himself, he could focus his efforts on taking back the family business. his mother was still alive, after all, and so he steeled himself against the ache of mourning, the crushing feeling of loss, and the overwhelming presence of his uncle in his life and focused on learning everything he could from her.
PRESENT
from the tender age of 13, yuri had closed off. any cherubic sweetness of his youth was stolen from him and he became cold, calculating, though stayed just shy of the cruelness of his uncle. he kept to himself and the more enigmatic he became, the more the general public took an interest.
he worked harder than ever, earning top marks with his private tutors and gleaning every last drop of business sense he could from his ailing mother. there was no time for the frivolities of teenhood but as he matured, kmedia took notice.
he was beautiful -- a face made for acting and a body built for dance. even his voice was honeyed, soft and sweet despite the fact that seldom few heard it for longer than strictly necessary.
by 18 he was one of korea’s most eligible bachelors (the family inheritance didn’t hurt), though because of his standoffish demeanor and seeming disinterest in dating, he was dubbed an ‘ice prince’ of sorts. and by 20 he was shipped off to belvedere.
it couldn’t really be avoided. he needed a degree and as much as he’d like to stay as guard dog for his uncle -- to make sure he doesn’t make any moves to fully usurp what is rightfully his -- formalities were important.
PERSONALITY
pristine is probably the best word to describe a first impression of yuri. immaculately dressed, incredibly precise with his words and carrying himself with a formality that doesn’t quite suit the modern world, he’s a prince of his own making.
in his second year, yuri’s not here to make friends but has amassed a handful who respect him and his hardened exterior. or maybe they’re just hoping to see the icy demeanor thaw and be one of the few allowed in closer than arm’s length.
incredibly bright and hardworking combined, yuri’s absolutely the test you’ll want to lean over and cheat off of -- not that he’d let you. he’s been getting top marks since his arrival, undeterred by the party-inclined lifestyle of the rich.
some may find his formality and closed off nature to be pretentious, arrogant, maybe even hostile but he allows people their dislike of him. the only way in which he’ll rise to a challenge is verbally, his wit allowing a tongue lashing of which no one wishes to be on the receiving end.
OTHER FUN FACTS
has a knack for languages and learns them just for fun. his most recent acquisition is norwegian
also, perhaps, why his vocabulary is littered with a slew of ... creative and downright vulgar suggestions and insults. he’ll deliver lines that’d make the devil blush but with the face of an angel, seemingly unaffected by their lewdness
along that vein, he’s still rumored to be a virgin since to the outside eye, he’s never once engaged with anything romantic or otherwise (though not for lack of propositions)
has your typical ‘rich boy’ skills but excels in fencing in particular. his trainer once remarked that they better never give him a real sword or they’ll have created a monster
his mother is still alive and acts as his one major soft spot. his voice turns fond when speaking of her and his carefully crafted impassive expression breaks, only slightly. he’ll facetime / skype her whenever possible and despite a fear of planes, visits as often as he can
i’ll probably add to this as i play him more but for now i have no way of ending this so /end (connections page coming soon maybe but any basic ideas are a great place to start!)
