NAME: jean-heron vicquemare-du boisjean-heron - also known as vic if you don't want to deal with french pronunciations - is the stray dog you found in a dumpster and decided to take home. having been in denouement for three years now, he has seen a lot of personal growth, but he still can't help chasing his tail from time to time. landing in denouement had him back in the orbit of harry du bois, now seemingly de-clawed and muzzled and a complete amnesiac. it only took jean and harry a few months to reattach themselves at the hip, and they found themselves married after 2 years. unfortunately, after less than six months of that married life, his partner answered the call of the void. jean is learning to live as a satellite without something to orbit, and he's not sure if it's getting any easier.
jean himself is a pretty moody guy. just a real grump. he's not exactly the friendliest right off the bat – at least not visibly so. he's near-impossible to read, deadpan and curt, but he's rarely dishonest about what he thinks (what he feels is another issue entirely however) even if what he thinks isn't exactly kind. this doesn't mean he's intentionally cruel or mean, but he does tend to speak before he really considers how things will sound.
while denouement has certainly softened him over time and allowed him to let his guard down significantly, he is still very much a product of his environment: very rough around the edges with a malfunctioning moral compass. despite this, he's very silly and lives for the bit. it's not often clear if/when he's partaking in a bit, but it's safe to assume he is, and that he'll commit to it to a detrimental degree if he must. some might call it irony poisoning, but he just calls it being the life of the party. ha ha.
jean's hobbies are mostly all extremely boring and lame to most people. they don't even bring him much joy either due to the constant fog of anhedonia he lives in. but he's still willing and able to talk to anyone who will listen about radio and entroponetics (that's the study of the pale, which means next to nothing in denouement, but given how much it has taken up his life here, he has no choice but to know things about it). he's also a bit of an art hoe and enjoys all mediums of art in an extremely pretentious sort of way, and he's also a total gym bro, but he is in no way healthy about that and might be a little too intense with it for most people. he is from a universe that wasn't as technologically advanced as earth - a mix of 20s, 40s, and 60s tech - and so while he is relatively up-to-date with more modern technology, he is quite old-fashioned in a lot of ways. all this to say, he really likes old/vintage technology.
it goes without saying that uglycry is for shitposting and giggleposting, but in jean's case, he's really not like that at all a majority of the time. his uglycry persona and how he acts in real life (also known as canon) are worlds apart; he's a lot more willing to voice his stranger thoughts there and be a bit more silly than he might allow himself to be in real life. don't worry though! he does have the capacity to be like that, but it's not a constant thing and might not really be a thing until he's a little more comfortable around someone. also, i'm always willing to “canonise” (aka work towards in canon) any uglycry interaction or relationship you'd like, if you want to talk about that!
i need clear communication from people who wish to interact with jean closely, due to multiple triggering subjects that are difficult to separate him from. please be careful when interacting with jean if you're sensitive to the following topics:
of course not all of these will be mentioned all the time! i'm not going to trauma dump every post! and when they are mentioned they'll be tagged and spoilered! but i feel it's better to mention that they'll have a possibility of being mentioned at least once. please let me know if you need me to avoid specific topics from this list, and i will make a note to do so. please also keep in mind that if i feel you're asking for too many topics to be avoided (around 3, depending what they are) i'll turn you away, because there's a point where you'd be rping with a completely different character to be honest!
