Help[Games] Family: de Gasbien-Souliere
in reply to a message by Arcadia
Partner One
Name: Toussaint Léo de Gasbien (30)
Career: Film/Stage Critic
Bio: Toussaint grew up in the heart of Paris where he lived with his extended family and always had a loud, lively home with a lavish lifestyle and a lot of love. He enjoys far more movies and stage productions than anyone he knows. He's even been in a few indie films and made cameos in blockbuster hits, but he doesn't want a career in film enough to dedicate himself to any major roles. He much prefers to sit in front of the screen and scribble notes as he watches. When Jean-Benoit is able to drag him away from his work, they like to walk their two dogs and have quite a love for taste-testing various frozen treats.
Partner Two
Name: Jean-Benoit Pascal Souliere (27)
Career: Stage Performer (Broadway!)
Bio: Jean-Benoit's childhood was more tumultuous than most. At age four, he was abducted from a dirt path near his home in the French countryside and lived as another family's son for thirteen years. When, at age seventeen, the truth came out and Jean-Benoit was returned to where his biological family lived, he felt very displaced. He found that his family had fallen apart over the years and that both of his parents had different families now and his older brothers were living with various relatives. He felt very discontent with his life and only found solice in music and performing. He used his talent in this department to take him to the US and to Broadway where he prefers to live in the present with Toussaint and thinks/talks very little of his past.
Relationship
Toussaint and Jean-Benoit met when Toussaint reviewed a production of RENT that Jean-Benoit performed in when he was 18. Toussaint claimed that Jean-Benoit was not passionate enough to play Roger and Jean-Benoit had came to him enraged at the accusation. He had intended to leave his meeting with Toussaint with a little more justification as to his portrayal and, instead, left with a date. The rest is laughable history and, today, Toussaint is Jean-Benoit's biggest supporter and fan.
Though Toussaint remains a critic and will easily tell Jean-Benoit when there is room for improvement, Jean-Benoit no longer gets his feelings hurt as easily. He uses what Toussaint tells him to motivate him to be better and to even impress Toussaint. He always says that with Toussaint's grading scale, no other critic can ever bring him down. It seems to be working for him though as he has now conquered many of his favourite roles on stage.
Off stage, he keeps his private life private and he and Toussaint like quiet evenings at home watching television and playing tennis or walking their toy greyhounds around Central Park.
The problem is that lately, their evenings have been too quiet. Shortly before Toussaint and Jean-Benoit had moved to America, Jean-Benoit had fought for and won custody of his little brother Luca after a messy family ordeal. Luca was four at the time and though Jean-Benoit was young, he was considered the best suitable guardian and had proved to be able to provide for Luca. Toussaint and Jean-Benoit had adapted their lives to caring for Luca and had grown to quite enjoy having him around. However, recently, Jean-Benoit and Luca's paternal aunt and uncle had gained custody of Luca after proving that they would be able to allow Luca time with his father (something Jean-Benoit and Toussaint cannot offer). They would love to have Luca back in their lives as they feel like he is their child after years of caring for him. However, it has made them feel that without running and innocent laughter in the house, they're probably missing something and they want to fill that void with a child in need of a family. They've spent a year thinking very seriously about this and have decided they are ready to take that step. To make the process smoother, they have decided to marry. They aren't too big on ceremonies or anything flashy (Jean-Benoit gets enough of that at work), but they understand the legal side of matters and know that while a marriage doesn't mean any two people are more or less dedicated to one another than unmarried people, adoption agencies look more favourable on married couples. They combined their last names, but they realize they are quite a mothful together and have not deicided if their future children should go by both surnames. It seems like a lot to thrust on a child.
