Pre-Story Les Mis RP! Lots of book lore used, but knowledge of the book isn't required. CW for Racism & Derogatory Words

(Wich one is in the pic?)
Enzo:HEY [He like 6'8]

(the one being pinned, it's not the best pic I made of him, the picrew just worked well for the situation)

*The bigger boy looked over, a sneer on his face seeing Enzo come over*
Dupre: What's it to you? *the boy being pinned against the shed blinked, eyes surprised at someone even coming up and not just watching. Dupre then smirked* Eh~? What, this your little gypsy brother or somethi- OW! *the slender boy punched his attacker in the stomach, making him let go and allow the other dark skinned boy to dart away (slightly behind Enzo)*

(Can he be his brother?)

Nice

(Sure! In that case, the both of you are Romani, or at least half-roma. that sound good to you?)

*Dupre realized that even though he was bigger and stronger than Étienne, he was NOT bigger and stronger than Enzo*
Dupre: *to Étienne* you're going to regret this, gypsy, I swear it *Étienne (the boy who was getting beat up) glared, but remained quiet until Dupre had run off and it was only Étienne and his brother near the shed*
Étienne: *mumbling* thanks . . . you didn't hafta interfere, y'know. now you're going to have drama too

(I bout to say I se how they could be siblings)

*pats him affectionately*

(Also only he knows Enzo a gentle giant)

*Étienne cringed as his head was patted, looking up at his brother with his mismatched blue-green eyes and a frown that could wither flowers*
Étienne: how's your year? the people in your year, I mean

"What do you mean?"

Étienne: *scowling* are your new classmates as insufferable as mine? we share some classes, but, y'know, for the ones we don't share *Étienne, despite being the younger of the two and the less physically intimidating (I mean, mate was built like a toy soldier and weighed 58 kilos; other than the fact people were scared of him because he was a so-called "demon", he wasn't actually that intimidating yet)*

(Meanwhile Enzo is like 105 kilos [233lbs] or sumting like that but a gentlegiant like i said)
Enzo:*sighs* some are unfortunately

(hehe, gentle giant big bro and itty-bitty firecracker lil bro)

*Étienne shook his head and put a hand to his nose to quell the bleeding, sniffing as the blood stained his uniform shirt and dripped onto some of his white hair, turning it scarlet-red*
Étienne: *grumbling* damn. I'm going to need to wash this before tomorrow or people are going to say I got in a fight

(Enzo not scared to fight tho....especially when protecting his little brother)

"Come on....let get you cleaned up"

(Also ye)

(coolio! here's a picture that's more like what Étienne looks like, the picrew didn't have a lot of options)
(Vitiligo king)

Oo

*Antoine nodded in approval, a grin on his face as he looked at Étienne, who looked back and scowled. Luc sighed and crossed his arms, a lamenting frown on his face*
Luc: *sigh* I wish my brothers did that. most of the time they're the ones beating me up
Louis: sounds like some pretty sh!tty brothers, mate

Enzo:you gonna be ok Ètie? (Is it OK if Enzo call Etienne,Ètie?)

(sure! though I will say, Luc tried his luck already, so ig we'll have to see~ also, phral means 'brother' in Romani)

*Étienne sighed, shoulders slumping as his nose finally stopped gushing blood*
Étienne: fine, just . . . nevermind. Yes, I'll be fine, phral. sorry *Antoine tilted his head and lifted up a white strand of Étienne's hair*
Antoine: heh, now you really look like a demon, Étienne, your hair's all crusted with blood

*Enzo let out a small snarl and pulled Ètie* (k)

*Antoine immediately pulled back, eyes wide and scared. Étienne yelped, a little 'ow' noise escaping his lips as his hair accidentally got pulled*
Antoine: Woah! Woah! It was a joke! I'm sorry, it was a joke!

Enzo:*let's go of his brother*

(hey, I don't wanna be that person, but can you add like, a little more to your responses? like, *does this* and *quiet* are not only annoying, but also really hard for me to work off of which is why I end up taking so long to get back)

(👌)

*Étienne walked with Enzo back to the main campus, ignoring everyone and keeping his eyes trained ahead of him. More than a couple people were looking at the pair, not only for the reasons of Enzo being tall and scary and Étienne looking like a bloodied up piebald patterned deer, but mostly for the reason of neither brother was white in the first place. No joke, the two Roma stood out like dark horses in a heard of sheep*

(Piebald: a type of patterning in animals that causes white or lighter patches on the skin and/or coat. Most commonly found in horse breeds like the American Paint Horse or Gypsy Vanner, pigs/hogs, but can affect pretty much any animal)

*walks him into the bathroom and starts to clean him up*

*Étienne grumbled as his older brother cleaned his face of blood, blue eye shut as the wet cloth brushed over his face. some chatter was heard and three boys walked in, pausing at the scene. they were all much smaller than Enzo, and seemed to be around Étienne's age, all with some variation on sandy blond hair and lightly freckled cheeks*

*paused* "You ok Ètienne?"

*Étienne looked up with a little ‘eh?’ noise before nodding*
Étienne: oh, yeah, no, I’m fine *he looked back at the boys* these are my roommates; Luc, Louis, and Antoine *The three boys all either waved or nodded, saying things along the line of ‘hi’, ‘hello’, ‘how’s it going’, and the like* Guys, this is my brother Enzo

"Hi"

*The smallest of the three boys, the one introduced as Luc, looked up at Enzo, waved, and then at Étienne*
Luc: Éttie-
Étienne: *scowling* don't-
Luc: *sarcastically* ok, ok, my bad. anyways, Étienne, Marc is gossiping about you and saying you and some other tall gitan beat him up?
Antoine: *rolling his eyes* he's acting like you killed 'em. "I managed to get a solid hit before I ran, but I don't know WhAt would've happened if I hadn't gotten out when I did" *Étienne glared at the floor, wiping his nose with his wrist and accidentally causing it to bleed again*
Étienne: *growling* ćorripe. he was the one who beat up me first

Enzo:who.....

Étienne: *clipped* Dupre. his first name is Marc *the Rom placed the cloth to his nose again to catch the blood and growled some stuff in Romani under his breath that only Enzo was able to understand (being a fellow Rom and whatnot). Louis shook his head and went over to his friend, turning Étienne around to face the sink*
Louis: take away the cloth, tilt your head down over the sink, and pinch the bridge of your nose to stem the blood flow *Étienne tilted his head and raised an eyebrow, only to end up relenting when Louis frowned like a disapproving father*
Luc: anyways, I'm going to assume that the tall gitan was you? *the short boy looked up at Enzo, and even though he wasn't using the real name for the Roma, hey, at least he wasn't calling them the slur of 'Gypsy'*

Enzo:nobody hurts my brother....

IMPORTANT
Being a male OC is STRONGLY recommended, just because of the time period and characters involved. if you truly do want to be a girl, then please choose either a high society background, nursing background, or even have them be cross-dressing as a boy to get into the police academy. characters that have virtually no connection/relationship/reason to be interacting will be asked to change/alter their background to fit within these new guidelines. Thank you!

(Violet is about 5’4, and short for her age which is like 20) Hey Sir! Get away from him

(can I ask her Ethnicity?)

*The bigger boy looked over, a sneer on his face seeing Violet come over*
Dupre: What's it to you? *the boy being pinned against the shed blinked, eyes surprised at someone even coming up and not just watching. Dupre then smirked* Eh~? What, this your little gypsy boyfriend or somethi- OW! *the slender boy punched his attacker in the stomach, making him let go and allow the other dark skinned boy to dart away (slightly behind Violet)*

(Hispanic) no, I swear why does everyone say that (she laughed to grabbed Dupres leg and push’s him to the ground)

(Like, from Spain? Latin America? IK it seems unnecessary, but it's 1800s France, so I kinda need to get an idea)

*Unfortunately, Dupre doesn't fall. he's a pretty big guy too, so actually making him fall was a bit of a pipe dream- that is, until the slender boy added on a little extra push and made Dupre stumble back*
Dupre: *to the boy* you're going to regret this, gypsy, I swear it *the boy who had been getting beat up)glared, but remained quiet until Dupre had run off and it was only him and Violet near the shed*
???: *mumbling* merci . . .

(Spain immigrant prob. I haven’t done these is a few years..)
Violet nodded “De Nada, the guy is just crazy. You okay? I’m Violet by the way”

(K, cool. also, here's a better, more accurate picture of Étienne)

*The boy nodded, his mismatched blue and green eyes blank before he also nodded*
???: I'm Étienne. Nice to meet you *the Rom, or rather, Étienne, tilted his head slightly and raised an eyebrow* You're from the nursing school on the next property over, oui?

(She paused) More or less. More of the nurses thinking “rat problem” than me.

*Étienne tilted his head, seemingly confused by the statement. his blue and green eyes narrowed ever so slightly in intrigue*
Étienne: *frowning* "Rat Problem"?

(She chuckled) I just make it think that, gotta live somehow.

(sorry, I'm confused. what is she talking about???)

(She lives in the nursing home secretly, making everyone think there’s a rat problem when it’s her)

(ohhhh, ok, thanks for clearing that up)

Étienne: wait, so, you're not a student at the St. Mary's School of Nursing and Medicine? *Étienne shook his head and put a hand to his nose to quell the bleeding, sniffing as the blood stained his uniform shirt and dripped onto some of his white hair, turning it scarlet-red* 'suppose I shouldn't ask you for help with this then, non?

(She laughed softy, pulling out a small cloth) doesn’t mean I still learn. Here it’ll help.
