#elitesintro

...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

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   .

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

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
