Antoine Malveaux

Played by Rev

**Name:** Antoine Malveaux

**Age:** 18 years old

**Gender & pronouns:** Male, he/him or they/them

**Appearance:** He is a tall and slender young man, standing at about 5’11”, possibly with more growth in his future. He’s very athletic and well-muscled, despite being so lean. He has short black dreadlocks that cover his head, fall a bit over his forehead, and come an inch down his neck. He has dark skin and dark eyes as well. He wears black-framed reading glasses, usually keeps earrings in his ears, and often has his nails painted.

**Personality:** Antoine is loudmouthed, snarky, and brash 24/7; not only was he raised in wealth and comfort, but he also received special tutoring and physical training throughout his life; he's smart and strong, and he knows it. He isn’t afraid to flaunt his abilities, either. He isn’t confident because of his wealth, though; he knows not everyone is as fortunate as he is, and he also knows that he personally didn’t work to gain wealth for his family, so he doesn’t really have claim to it beyond what his father allows. Antoine is competitive, never backing down from a challenge and being quite the trash-talker, but he isn’t generally too sore about it if he loses - in his own words, it *does* happen infrequently, after all. Just because he’s not sore about it does not mean that he’s okay with failure, however. He tends to put too much pressure on himself to succeed, because he knows he talks a big game and doesn’t want to make a fool of himself, he has his family legacy on his shoulders to live up to, and all the extra time he’s spent learning since he was young makes him feel that he should be more prepared and equipped for life than most of his peers. He can end up a nervous wreck before undertaking a large task, even though he presents himself as perfectly laid back and confident in public. He does his best to hide his insecurities deep down, not wanting to appear weak - and especially dreading anyone learning of his doubts about his future as a company heir. He is very loyal to his loved ones, willing to protect them with his life, and encourage and support them. He is mostly kind and helpful, it just gets muffled or ignored sometimes because of his obnoxiousness. Though he’s content to laze around and not bother with doing anything, he can be quite motivated when he wants to be, refusing to stop until he’s achieved a goal. He can come off as spoiled, but he’s just as content to spend on lavish gifts for his friends as he would be getting things for himself.

**Occupation:** N/A, student

**History:** Antoine is the third son born to the Malveaux family - a very notable and prestigious family in the business world. The head of the family, Burneau Malveaux, trained his sons to join the family business from a young age. Antoine took to this quickly; his life was one of wealth and ease, and if he had to do a little extra studying of finances and management to maintain that, so be it. He was taught to think mostly in black and white, seeing his compliance with his family's wishes, his lifestyle, and happiness as synonymous. It wasn’t until Antoine began actually attending public school instead of private school or tutoring like he had been before; being around more people his own age who *weren't* brought up wealthy opened his eyes to how he was living in a bubble, and introduced him to a bunch of new subjects he had never dabbled in before that he found interesting, like arts and music. Having experienced these things, Antoine found himself questioning what he actually wanted in life, unsure of whether he wants to follow in his father’s footsteps anymore or not (and unsure if these doubts will earn him his father's ire), though he does his best to cover his new uncertainties with his usual overconfident attitude.

**Other:** His family is from New Orleans. He enjoys spicy southern food, and is fluent in French - both proper French, and Cajun French. He has two older brothers.
