CHARACTER: Baren Kumou
CANON: Rengoku ni Warau
AU NAME: Baren Kaiyou
AU AGE: 21
AU OCCUPATION: Model, College Student, Graffiti Artist
BLURB: - Baren is a successful model at age 21, mostly because he looks good in anything
- he likes it so much that he keeps his random hair doodads even when walking the street, so he's pretty Iconic just from having this shit in his hair (yes. those are bells and a feather. peacock, he's an actual peacock and yes you can hear him coming)
- he moved to Recollé with his twin sister about three years ago from Japan
- on the outside he's charming and fun-loving to the point of being Devil May Care though it's more like Live Fast Die Young Bad
GirlsBoys Do It Well- so that means he gets up to shit like drinking, smoking, gambling, drag racing, what have you and loves escalating parties to the point of earning the moniker Party Satan
- and it seems like he's causing chaos a lot just for the sake of causing chaos and being a pain in the ass
- he has a penchant for graffiti and tags buildings for fun because he just thought that an inside joke he had with a friend was funny so he put it on a wall or it's Japanese motifs and kanji and honestly artistic and thoughtful but it's hard to tell they're the same artist
-he can probably be serious enough to talk about his responsibilities which mostly include taking care of his beloved twin sister
- those moments are Rare bc Baren doesn't like it when people realize he's An Actual Person with Feelings
- he's technically enrolled in the college as a third year (just in case he catches Surprise Ugly one day and modeling doesn't work) but hates showing up for classes. a lot. he's the guy who shows up on syllabus day and then ditches except to show up for exams
- if you manage to worm your way into being someone that he likes, he's actually very good at taking care of people and loyal when he doesn't want to be. secret tsundere.
- oh but he's nicer to women bc his sister puts the Fear of God into him
- now for an au background no one cares about. here's his seedy and sketchy past before he moved, which he keeps super under wraps and on a Need to Know basis (and no one he's met in Recollé needs to know)
- he and his sister were born to a mistress for a politician (of the Kumou family) who abandoned them and their mother
- their mother trained the twins to fake being High Class, paying tuition for private schools and tutors and buying nice clothes instead of good food
- Baren and his sister learned how to be great pickpockets and con artists to get money instead
- eventually they re-entered High Society through their own merit and scammed their own dad into blackmail bc the twins are fucking devil children
- blackmail does not buy a mother's love and health though and she passed away three years ago
- thus resulting in the twins' move to Recollé where they decided to scrap everything they knew and just live how they wanted
- but sometimes you can catch Baren having an informed opinion on something (arts, literature, history, politics) bc he never figured out how to stop being In the Know
- he'd just much prefer that people think he's a good for nothing hooligan (he's unfortunately much smarter than he pretends smh)
LOOKING FOR:
- is your character a straight-laced fuddy duddy? baren's here to be your Manic Pixie Nightmare
- is your character a criminal? they've probably run into Baren. an "honor among thieves" situation would be really interesting!
- does your character need a job? Baren would probably hire a babysitter for himself (read: someone assigned to pay bail if he gets arrested and keep it from his sister)
- is your character a fashionista or designer? he'll model your designs and talk about #aesthetic hell ye
- part of the law enforcement? tbh Baren's probably a regular trouble maker who either can't get pinned for anything he does due to lack of evidence or settles out of court. alternatively, Baren's probably gotten to know a couple of different miscreants so you could always try to make him an informant
- open to flings, hookups, friends with benefits, exes? canon tells us that Baren is popular for some reason - but lmfao if anyone wants to hash out a messy ex story with me, I need it
- is your character a fellow college student? please endure late night cram sessions with Baren
- is your character another model? actor? random celeb? be Baren's superficial friends who he hangs out with but they don't know anything about him
- is your character the type to follow fashion and be a fan? he'd actually be weirded out. please. this sounds funny.
- is your character a social outcast or problem child with attitude? come to Baren. they're actually his favorite types of people. he'll teach you how to pickpocket (why)
- does your character work at the animal shelter? animals love him so he probably brings strays regularly
- is your character another socialite from Japan? really specific but Baren's high class lifestyle extends to Japan only tbh, but someone might be able to recognize him from that - and he'll then swear them to secrecy bc he doesn't want to talk about his past ever ever ever
- is your character a Recollé socialite? sometimes to entertain himself, within the past 3 years Baren will have gone to fancy parties in full disguise to wine and dine and gather information and learn names and influential people before disappearing
- or please help the party satan agenda and make baren an urban legend
OPTIONAL ENABLE ME: lmao nah

i figure that baren and yamyamtaro get along like a bitchy cat and a hyperactive dog so there's that. baren probably wanders into their apartment as he pleases to grab kashuu for things and invites yams sometimes if he needs extra muscle????
like tbh baren probably pokes at yams because it's fun and not because he actually dislikes him.....
but also baren does know kendo and fencing and a couple of other things
so i hope yams finds that out one unfortunate day when baren picks up something to parry on reflex

she's also former high class who ran away from it all let's do this
her friendship with yuuko was basically established as "everytime there was some dumb upper class mingle or party they got dragged to by their socialite parents they caused trouble while adults werent looking"
like we're talking smashing priceless vases and blaming it on other kids because everyone thought they were Sweet and Good proper ladies
and ive kind of alluded to the fact nobu used to be a really awful bully child in some threads
how would you feel if he knew her when she was a much shittier person when they were younger
if her mom hadnt kept her on a short leash until the end of high school she probably would've ended up an awful delinquent tbh so

Second off: Dante and Baren absolutely must know of each other I refuse the idea that they couldn't or wouldn't. They probably know each other decently well honestly, considering that Dante is constantly out drinking and trespassing and drag racing (hey yo from a previous thread I and Saffy did with Dante and Ari there is an industrial park on the outskirts of town where races go down :|b SO FEEL FREE TO USE THAT!!) He would absolutely go along with Baren and help him cultivate his legend as Party Satan lmfao god
I would say Baren is definitely wilder than Dante is though bc Dante does try to play it cool and not wreak so much havoc that it would get back to his parents' circle and damage their rep. So for once Dante would actually be the straight man going "DUDE WHAT ARE YOU DOING STOP????????"
THIRD OFF: Hi. This is Kath. Kath's father is a prosecutor who's done well enough for himself to run his own law offices in Recollé. WOULD YOU LIKE MESSY BREAKUPS BECAUSE BOY WOULD I

So Baren how would you feel that this high schooler probably recognises you??? At least she's a good girl who is inclined to keep the secret, though.
