Name: Laurent de Rocaille
Age: 22
Race: d’Angeline
Gender: m
Height: 6’3”
Home Provice/Country: Siovale
Appearance: The first thing one might notice about this young man is his fine features on a round perfectly proportioned face. His eyes are deep murky nearly black pools. His hair is straight and falls around his face framing it in brown highlighted with caramel. He has a serious and attractive expression about him which can turn to troubled in an instant. He’s tall with just enough muscle though his hands are slightly bony.
Personality:There are two very different sides to Laurent, like the two sides of a coin. Both of them are real and both of them are him. One is by nature the other by circumstance. The first is his public side, a sophisticated gentleman of high standards and great intellect. In fact he is considered to be a genius in many areas. His main pursuits are science and music however. He is a teetotaler and a very dignified soul, but friendly and charming, smooth and polished. He can however be obsessed in his scientific pursuits and is a bit of a mad scientist.
The other side of him, the private side is troubled and dark. The natural D’Angeline desire for physical pleasure has become in him an addiction. He also found a great attraction for Opium, and while it has not bound him fully yet it is at work. This side of him is obsessive, submissive, and weak. When he sees something he wants he aims to have it. He’s still fun loving and pleasant as he does his best to hold it in. But in the end he will find some way to satisfy the private side so he can hide behind the public.
History: Third child of the Marquis de Rocaille, Laurent was the pride of his parent’s old age. From early on he showed a keen interest in learning. He learned Aragonian and Caerdicci by the age of eight as well as understanding the principles of science, history, and higher mathematics. He was a child prodigy. At the age of fourteen he was sent away to the University of Tiberium after much debate as to whether someone of his age should be allowed in. He proved himself however to be an excellent student and a brilliant mind, coming up with ideas that many of his teachers hadn’t considered.
It was at the university however those things changed for him. He was placed with a crowd older than him, more experienced and he wanted to fit in. He began to do what they did, the parties, orgies really, and to try opium. He became attached to both, but never let it get in the way of his brilliance. In fact on some levels it enhanced it. He kept up a studious appearance with his professors and everyone else. No one would know save those he shared his life with. He left university at the age of seventeen and went on a three year voyage learning cultures and languages. He became a man of the world on his return to Terre d’Ange at the age of 20. Now two years later he finds himself in Elua where he plans to reside as two men.
