LET THE WHOLE THING BLOW
B A S I C I N F O
★ NAME: Marcel Chevalier
★ NICKNAME: 'Marcel' or 'Barkeep'.
★ MEMBER GROUP: Human.
★ POKEMON: Taillow
★ AGE: Thirty
★ HEIGHT: 5'10"
★ WEIGHT: 160lb
★ FACE CLAIM: Worick Arcangelo from Gangsta.
★ APPEARANCE:
Marcel is of a rather average height, with a rather average build. He's not especially bulky, even if he does have some muscle on him. Most of the muscle is from heavy lifting, not actually working out. Marcel's hair is a dusty blond, and is most frequently worn up in a messy ponytail, as seen here and here. He's also the not so proud owner of a prominent eyepatch over his left eye, underneath which is a particularly disgusting scar. His body is littered with minor scars, mostly from interrupting fights. More often then not, he's seen with a little bit of scruff, which never quite goes to a beard. He's just too distracted to keep himself clean-shaven.

P E R S O N A L I T Y
★ POSITIVE:
- Caring >> Marcel is a particularly caring person. He's a bleeding heart for those with a sad story, and he's always willing to sit down and listen, and provide some moral support.
- Sympathetic >> Marcel rarely sees things in black and white. Even when people do terrible things, he finds sympathy for their plight.
- Honest >> Contrary to what one might expect from a bartender, Marcel is a very honest person. He'll answer most, if not all questions truthfully, and if he ever runs into a question he doesn't want to answer, he'll opt to say that, rather then making up a story or trying to play it down.
- Affectionate >> For every scar on him, Marcel's still exceptionally affectionate. Not just just to people he flirts with, but also to those around him. Every time he sleeps, he does so while snuggled up to his Audino.
- Charming >> Marcel is a charmer. He never lies, but he goes out of his way to drop people compliments, to have casual discussions with them, and to generally gain their trust. He's a nice enough guy that most people who meet him will be able to relax around him easily enough.
★ NEGATIVE:
- Unambitious >> Marcel comes from an extremely wealthy family, with enough connections that he easily could have gone on to a major profession. Instead, he started his own bar, and is entirely content to spend the rest of his days running it.
- Disorganized >> The Bar itself looks fairly neat, but once you get past the obvious layer, everything is a mess. His apartment is a disaster, with most of the cleaning done by his audino, his paperwork looks like a bomb went off in his office, and he's frequently running out of supplies because he can't keep track of his stock.
- Informal/Flippant >> While Marcel is generally a polite person, he's also extremely informal. He's not one for titles and those little signs of respect, and it's something that rubs a lot of officials the wrong way. For him, it's basically first names all the way out. He doesn't take things very seriously, even if he should, and it takes a proper crisis to make him actually attempt to do so.
- Blunt >> The flipside of Marcel's honesty is his bluntness. Part of being honest means telling people what they don't want to hear, and Marcel has no issues with calling it like it is. If you want to cry on his shoulder about your girlfriend leaving you, don't be surprised if he points out that if you didn't spend every night at a bar, rather then with her, you might not be single.
- Vain >> Marcel is more then a little proud of his looks - even his lack of eye. He's entirely convinced it makes him look, as he says, 'badass', and doesn't like when people imply otherwise.
★ HABITS, QUIRKS:
- Marcel's depth perception is not the best. Having one eye tends to do that to you. As such, the bar he owns and works at is laid out in a very specific way. Every chair and table has a place, and each one has some sort of marking - a little notch that's visible from the bar. Doing so means he has a rough reference point for how far away things are, just at a glance.
- Marcel often ends up being extremely lazy about almost anything that isn't his bar. His apartment (located above said bar) is largely a disaster. The bar is perfectly spotless, but that's more an occupational hazard then anything else.
- By nature of running a bar almost every night, Marcel is almost nocturnal. He sleeps through the days, mostly, and is certainly not a morning person.
- Marcel possesses only a single pokemon - his Audino. Patin is a regular around the bar, and assists Marcel with serving. He's also a bit of a powerhouse, and totally spoiled.
★ OVERALL PERSONALITY:
Marcel is, first and foremost, a sweetheart. He's a general good person, with strong morals and a caring heart. He's friendly to almost everyone, and a bit of a charmer with the ladies (and the occasional male - even if he's generally not that interested, he's more then willing to play along). He's rarely serious, opting to keep things a bit more light-hearted then most can stand. It helps that he comes from money, and wasn't going paycheck to paycheck for most of his life, but at this point he's largely free of that. He makes his own money, maintains his own business, and has paid off what his parents lent him to start the bar. He's relatively independent, opting to avoid the social scene his parents frequent. He has no interest in the high life, opting to pick his friends regardless of financial status.
Marcel is particularly conflicted on the matter of illegals. While he understands that Epispect is just doing their jobs, he wishes they didn't have to - and he's strongly against anyone he learns got an illegal transfusion just for power. He's not above giving someone a place to stay if they're on the run and have a sympathetic story, and he's a bit of a sucker for those with tragic pasts. He's an honest person himself, lying only if necessary, and hates when people lie to him in turn. If his trust is abused, that's that. He's got one hell of an angry streak if you manage to piss him off, even if that's a difficult thing to do. Threatening his bar, or Patin is another way to bring on his wrath, and he can be damned dangerous if he gets to that point. He avoids them if at all possible, but he's been in more then a few fights, although very few were actually started by him.
Marcel is a very informal person. He's not one for titles or formalities, and prefers to be very casual in his everyday interactions. That's not to say he's rude - if the situation really calls for it, he'll use them, but generally he prefers not to. That's not to say he's going to pry into your personal life, either. If you want to talk to him, he'll listen, but he's not going to pry into everyone's lives. Some people like his secrets - he has his own, and he's not keen on telling them to just anyone.
Marcel is also a believer in true love, as cheesy as it sounds. He dates and messes around, but the whole while he's looking for that special someone. When he finds them, that's that.

H I S T O R Y
- Marcel was born to a fairly wealthy family, and enjoyed many of the comforts that his poorer friends were denied. He got a good education, which he wasted. He graduated with mediocre marks, lacking any real interest in a formal education, and ended up pleading with his parents for money to open a 'business establishment'.
- Despite his parents deciding he'd decided to become an accountant, or some other reasonable profession, Marcel opted to open a bar. Not exactly his parents favorite idea, they initially scorned the whole idea, vaguely insulted that he'd used their money for it. Rather then a gift, it was now a 'loan'.
- Despite their initial concerns, Marcel turned out to have a bit of a knack for the business. While his accounting was by no means good, and he frequently ran out of stock on things, he was sociable enough to attract a decent clientele. The bar ended up one of the more popular in the city - as well as one of the safer ones, if not the safest one. Within two years, he'd made enough money to pay back the loan his parents had given him, ending up financially independent himself.
- Marcel's gained a bit of a reputation about being an honest guy. He doesn't rip off his customers, keeps prices fair, and is willing to intervene in things he think are scummy. He's intervened in more then a few fights, and keeps an eye on everyone's drinks as much as possible. His eye was lost in a particularly nasty bar fight, and he considers himself lucky, because if Patin hadn't intervened, he'd have likely died. He's got himself quite a few scars from intervening, and he's gotten even more rigorous in his defenses over the past two years. He's extremely protective of the bar, and the customers in it. Exactly why is a mystery to almost everyone, and Marcel never speaks of it.
