▶ Character Name & Series. Grantaire | Les Miserables ▶ Character Age. 30 ▶ Photo Reference.Link ▶ Permissions.Link ▶ Personality Blurb. Grantaire is from Paris, France, 1832. He has died (not fighting in a revolution), and he's a skeptic. He makes a point to believe in absolutely nothing. No religion, no politics, and definitely not most of the stuff he’s seeing here (god he’s trying so hard not to). He does, however, believe very much in Enjolras. It’s not very subtle. He thinks it is.
He drinks to excess—and yes, this is a problem. He’s an alcoholic, and he drinks, as he puts it “to forget life”. He’s depressed, lacks motivation and ambition, and can hardly follow through with a task without losing interest, but he has good humor when he isn’t feeling melancholy. He handles most things with a very flippant attitude, not actually serious about much. He studied painting once, but lost ambition got in the way. He’s apparently a good fencer, boxer, dancer and gymnast, but that damn lack of ambition…He isn’t all bad qualities, though. He’s full of good humor, cracks a good joke, is sort of obsessed with Greek mythology, and he loves his friends above all else. His good humor was the reason his friends kept him around to begin with. It is truly is best characteristic. He's extremely self-deprecating and doesn't seem to think much of himself, but he thinks a great deal of others.
▶ Desired CR. Anyone who can tolerate him, and anyone who cannot tolerate him. More negative CR would be nice, I think. Grantaire is certain he’s a negative person, but few people actually fuel that notion for him. He has a good heart, but he’s an irritating drunk who casts a gloomy shadow over every conversation. People who can push him back toward cheer would be great too. ▶ Offered CR. Friendship is one of the most important things to Grantaire. He can’t get by without it. So for all his poor personality points and however difficult he may be to put up with, he cares about others and genuinely is a good friend at heart. He’s quite good at building others up (while putting himself down in the process), and he refuses to choose sides when it comes to most things. He is a thoroughly neutral party. He is also a good talker and a good drinking buddy until he’s had too much and gets depressed. ▶ Event Plans. HE WILL BE DOING STUFF. Sometimes Grantaire finds his motivation, though it’s rare. This may end up being one of those moments. As he lives in Wyver, he’s likely to have some bad nights. He’ll probably think he’s had too much to drink. It might be just heavy enough to get him to back off the wine.
