Steam/Forum Name:
Grogrock the Black Knight
Existing/Previous Characters:
None existing, former characters are Vilho Virtanen, Francis Gutierrez, and Lawrence Anderson
Character Applying For:
Azlan Belcourt
What You Are Applying For:
Ownership of Nightclub and Bar (Same building obvs)
Reasons For This Application: Belcourt grew up on a heavily industrialized and urbanized planet known as Marada in a solar system not too far from the Milky Way (relatively speaking). An economic collapse on his home planet drove his parents to abandon him at age four. He spent eight years in a religious orphanage, where he received his official schooling, until he decided to leave the orphanage and become independent. Child labor laws in Marada were incredibly lenient, and so Belcourt applied to become a member of the crew on board a long-distance immigration liner. As the ship's primary janitor, Belcourt would clean the facilities on board periodically. Only he and one other individual on the crew were parts of this team, but his coworker would actually be kept in cryostasis for the duration of the trip and would only be awoken if Belcourt became sick. However, disaster struck the liner about two months into its three-year long journey when the ship's reactor had a breakdown. The only functional systems on board were for automatic navigation, life support, cyrogenic stasis, and water purification, and so the majority of the ship was plunged into darkness save for a few dozen safety lights. All cyrogenic pods had been sealed during the emergency status as the ship's automated security thought that its interior may become unsafe for occupants. As a result, Belcourt was trapped in the ship for the duration of its 3 year journey with no human contact besides the frozen faces of his fellow crew and passengers.
3 years of living in darkness took a greater toll on Azlan than it would have on an adult human, as Azlan was just entering puberty during the start of his employment. After those three years, Azlan's skin was exceptionally pale, and his hair greying in spots. His eyes grew quite sensitive to sunlight, forcing him to wear thick sunglasses during the day. In response, he became nocturnal.
After reaching age eighteen, Azlan decided that the shipping business was not such a good fit for him, and he instead chose to work as a bartender at a small dive on the planet of Hyperion. As the colonies on the planet grew, so did the bar he was employed at. The owner, impressed with his success and the loyalty of Belcourt, decided to expand his operation to planets on other systems, although he likely only did it to avoid the dangers of living on an outer rim planet. Nevertheless, the owner decided to give Belcourt the run of the bar and nightclub in his stead, so long as Belcourt delivered 15% of profits to the owner.
OOC STUFF NEEDED:
Belcourt would obviously need the knowledge of how to mix various drinks.
Belcourt would understand basic sanitation functions onboard vessels.
Belcourt would obviously need a building with space for eating, sitting at the bar, and dancing
Belcourt would have difficulty seeing during the day without his spectacles, but has better vision at night.
Belcourt's pale skin is also splotched due to the fact that he has been afflicted with vitiligo as a result of his poor diet during his employment
Willing to negotiate funds. Don't know how inflation works here, and how much would be considered adequate money for a business.
