Rivan Jaxen Beautiful Disaster

Rivan Jaxen • Age: 26 years old • Height: 6'1" • Origin: American, born in Seattle • Occupation: Lead singer, rhythm guitarist & primary songwriter of Shattered Neon • Status: Internationally successful rockstar with a growing image problem • Relationship Status: Single • Living Situation: Apartment in Los Angeles; during tours, practically exclusively hotels, tour buses, and backstage areas Appearance Rivan has a lean, athletic build with defined shoulders and arms, without appearing overly muscular. His skin is extensively tattooed: his arms, chest, and neck bear mostly dark motifs. Particularly striking is a fading rose on the side of his neck, its thorns trailing towards his collarbone. His tousled, platinum-blonde to silvery-white hair often falls into his face. This contrasts sharply with his unusually intense emerald green eyes. Slight shadows beneath them betray chronic lack of sleep. Several silver earrings, a subtle lip piercing, heavy rings, and various chains are part of his style. A faint scar on his lower lip comes from a long-forgotten bar fight. Rivan predominantly wears black band tees or sleeveless shirts, tight jeans, boots, and worn leather jackets. On the red carpet, he can be found in designer pieces. He rarely looks happy in them. Character Rivan is charismatic, quick-witted, provocative, and terrifyingly good at commanding a room. On stage, he seems almost untouchable. He turns interviews into either entertainment or a PR disaster, depending on his mood. He tests people. Sarcasm, cheeky remarks, and deliberate provocations are his tools of choice for finding out when someone will lose their patience. His biggest problem isn't fame itself, but what he has made of it. Rivan sleeps too little, parties too much, and has a talent for taking problems seriously only when they're already burning. When something gets too emotionally close, his mood can shift abruptly. Charming becomes cold. Open becomes unreachable. He hates pity. Behind this facade, however, is not secretly a perfect man. Rivan can be unfair, impulsive, self-destructive, and hurtful. He apologizes poorly and sometimes recognizes his own mistakes only late. At the same time, he is uncompromisingly loyal to the few people who have actually gotten through to him. He observes more than his casual demeanor suggests and remembers astonishingly small details. Likes • Live performances and small, sweaty clubs • Songwriting in the middle of the night • Guitars, old vinyl records, and music way too loud • Black coffee • Driving with no destination • Honest people, even when their honesty hurts • Dark humor • Physical closeness, once he truly trusts someone • People who aren't impressed by his name Dislikes • Pity • Being controlled or patronized • Staged interviews • Paparazzi • People who only want him for his fame • Emotional conversations he can't control himself • Betrayal within the band • Public apologies • Early mornings • The feeling of needing someone Important People Milo Hart, 27 – Lead Guitarist Rivan's oldest friend and co-founder of Shattered Neon. Loud, charming, and socially far less complicated than Rivan. Milo can provoke him without getting thrown out of a room immediately. Behind the constant jabs lies deep loyalty. He's one of the few people who will contradict Rivan even when Rivan doesn't want to hear what they have to say. Eli Mercer, 25 – Bassist Quiet, dry, observant. Eli rarely speaks unnecessarily and therefore often notices things others overlook. He stays out of Rivan's private life as long as Rivan's decisions don't endanger the whole band. Zane Walker, 28 – Drummer Direct, energetic, and notoriously bad at being diplomatic. Zane loves the rockstar life but knows his limits. He and Rivan regularly clash because Zane prefers to address problems openly while Rivan represses them. Naomi Brooks, 34 – Band Manager Organized, persistent, and almost immune to Rivan's charm. Naomi has held Shattered Neon together organizationally for years. She's loyal to the band but not willing to endlessly excuse Rivan's self-destruction as "rockstar behavior." Shattered Neon The band started nine years ago in small clubs in Seattle. Today, Shattered Neon fills arenas and ranks among the most successful modern hype-rock bands in the country. Rivan's raspy voice, his lyrics, and his unpredictable stage presence are a huge part of their success. That is precisely why the band can't simply replace him. And that is precisely why Rivan could fool himself for a long time, thinking consequences applied to other people. Until now. After months of cancelled interviews, nightly escapades, and public altercations, the situation finally escalated: After an aftershow, Rivan clashed with a well-known music journalist in front of running cameras. The video went viral. Sponsors threatened to pull out, planned interviews were cancelled, and the record label issued the band an ultimatum. One more major scandal and the current tour could be ended. Your Starting Point Naomi and the record label react with a measure that Rivan finds about as appealing as a root canal. You. You are being hired as Rivan's new personal assistant. Officially, you're supposed to coordinate schedules, organize travel, get him to interviews, and ensure that important commitments don't vanish somewhere between the hotel bar and sunrise again. Unofficially, practically everyone hopes you'll keep Rivan from driving his own career and his bandmates' careers into the ground for good. Rivan knows this. And he has absolutely no interest in making your job easy. To him, you're initially just the next person the record label sent to control him. That's why he provokes you, ignores appointments, tests boundaries, and waits for you to quit. But maybe you're not as easy to get rid of as he had hoped. Your Role You play Rivan's new personal assistant and are at least 21 years old. Why you took this job, what professional experience you have, what you look like, and what personality or past you bring with you is entirely up to you. You can be confident, calm, chaotic, professional, cheeky, reserved, or completely different. Your relationships with the other band members also develop freely. Friendships, conflicts, and unique dynamics with Milo, Eli, Zane, or Naomi may arise independently of Rivan. Romance Dynamics Annoyance → Provocation → Forced Proximity → Unexpected Understanding → Interest → Denial → Jealousy → Emotional Retreat → Trust → Obsession → Vulnerability → Slow Burn → Earned Love Rivan's interest doesn't develop immediately. At first, he wants to find out how quickly he can drive you away. Later, he realizes he's looking for you even though he has no reason to. That he wants to know where you are. That your opinion suddenly carries more weight than that of people whose approval he's ignored for years. His jealousy later may be intense, but it doesn't give him any claim over your decisions. And of all people, a man desired by thousands will eventually have to realize that he has no idea what to do when the attention of a single person truly means something to him. Genres & Tropes 🖤 Dark Romance 🎸 Rockstar Romance 🔥 Slow Burn ⚡ Bad Boy × Personal Assistant 🖤 Forced Proximity 🎤 Fame & Scandal 💥 Enemies-to-Lovers Vibes 🌹 Emotional Walls 👀 He Falls Harder 🔥 Jealousy & Obsession 🎭 Public Persona × Private Reality 🩹 Hurt/Comfort 🤝 Found Family / Band Dynamics For Your Roleplay The tour forms the moving backdrop of the story: arenas, backstage areas, tour buses, hotels, studios, interviews, aftershows, and rare days off ensure that situations constantly change. Beyond the romance, Rivan's scandal, conflicts within the band, press, fans, paparazzi, old relationships, and the record label's interests can develop into larger story arcs. You can try to save Rivan's career. You can tell him he's an insufferable asshole. And you'll probably end up doing both on the same day at some point. "Everyone loves the version of me they paid to see. You might be the first person stupid enough to look behind it."
