Name: Rory DuBois
Sex: Male
Age: 18
Birth date: June 7
Height: 5'4"
Appearance: He is a skinny redhead with innocent green eyes that just don't seem to belong to someone living in a whorehouse. Rory's still in that awkward teenage growth phase, where hands, feet, and *ahem* other appendages are disproportionately bigger than the rest of his body.
Player question: This is a question about the character for you to fill out as yourself, the player.
1) Tell us a bit about how you see the character: What makes him/her tick? Why does he/she get out of bed in the morning? Why does he/she act the way he/she does?
Rory is without a doubt my favourite Teahouse character, but his unassuming red-headed innocence is only the beginning of my unhealthy obsession. Though I started off loving the adorable little bloke for the look of pure discomfort and embarrassment plastered across his face while standing in the lineup and being eyed like a tender piece of meat, the moment when he stood up to Axis with a straight-backed determination and accepted his position as Reed's personal whore cemented my admiration. Who doesn't love someone with the ability to make Axis break into a hissy fit by a) pointing out the obvious fact that he likes man love more than he wants to let on and b) usurping his position as the top-earning whore? He definitely has a bit of tiger rumbling beneath the surface, despite his lacking confidence. I'd say he gets out of bed in the morning with the intention to gain that self-confidence. Maybe, just maybe, he'll grow that much-needed backbone. Plus, he's unintentionally hilarious, and for the life of him can't hide his emotions, which makes him the perfect yin to Reed's yang.
Character Questions: These are questions to fill out in your role as the character. Think of them as brief RP samples.
1) What makes you tick? What makes you look forward to getting out of bed in the morning?
"I guess... I'd have to say a new day is a new beginning," Rory replied with forced optimism, staring determinedly at his lap with his wide green eyes. "A chance to get to know someone better. A chance to get to know yourself better. And a chance to change the bad things into good ones, even if it doesn't seem possible."
2) Tell us a little about your past. (REMEMBER: keep this vague or easy to retcon! You can even find creative ways to avoid answering this question…)
"M-my past?" Rory repeated, twisting his fingers nervously together as he stared at the opposite wall. He shrugged at the probing question, trying to find the words and force them past his closed lips. "I have a family like everyone does, I guess. I was born. I grew up with my sister. And now I'm here in the Teahouse."
3) What do you love about your job?
"The people I work with," he blurted, wanting to make up for the failure of his previous question. "That is, the other people who work here. In the Teahouse. Wait, I mean, Claret and Linneus are nice to me and give me advice about...things. Mercutio's a little, um, creepy and he won't stop thanking me for L-lord Reed's present." His face turned bright red at that, and he balled his hands into fists and shoved them between his knees as he fought the urge to hide his flustered face behind them. "Axis and I don't really get along, and Lilith doesn't talk to me." He shifted uncomfortably, leaving it at that as he waited for the next question, hoping it would be easier to answer.
4) What do you HATE about your job?
"The fighting. Axis doesn't like me being in his room, but Atros was the one who kicked him out of it. I don't know why he's so upset about it." He scuffed his foot nervously against the floor, avoiding the interviewer's eyes as he opened his mouth to speak again. "I kinda hate not knowing what I'm doing. I mean, I'm not really that experienced when it comes to being a whore, and I think L-lord Reed might not like me that much. He's always looking at me and I can't figure out what he's thinking, and he doesn't say anything, and the other day he didn't want any cupcakes..." He peeked at the interviewer from under his eyelashes, before whispering, mortified, "And, I don't know what he's going to do when he finds out that I gave his present to Mercutio."
5) You get the chance to do whatever you want for a whole day. Tell us about it: Where do you go? What do you do? Who do you do it with?
Rory smiled timidly, greatly relieved that the hard questions seemed to be over. "I'd go to the market and pet the llamas with Claret and Linneus. My sister, too, if she were here. Then we'd have a picnic out by the water and watch the ships go by, and look for shapes in the clouds." A look of uncertainty crossed his face, and he squirmed uncomfortably in his hardbacked chair. "I don't know if L-lord Reed would like to do that, but he could always come too."
6) What is your biggest dream? How about your biggest fear?
Rory bit his lip as he internalized the question, trying not to rush through the answer. "My biggest dream is to be confident like everyone else is. Like Axis, I guess. Only not so mean. And my biggest fear is that Lord R-reed really does hate me as much as it looks like he does." Rory's eyes brushed past a nearby clock and he jumped up with a start when he saw the time. "Speaking of- I'm going to be late!"
