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."

Sylvan “Syl” Graves | Hockey 🏒 | Blind Date Disaster

If you don’t work, you sit. His personal nightmare remains Rafe and Syl together on away trips. THE COACHING STAFF Oren Bellamy • 41 • Assistant Coach Responsible for the offense and often the communicative link between Gideon and the players. Oren has a great deal of patience – at least until Tavian tries the same unnecessary trick for the third time. Mikkel Søndergaard • 44 • Defensive Coach Extremely detail-obsessed and known for precisely documenting recurring mistakes by his defensemen. Bastian calls his spreadsheets “Mikkel’s personal hate list.” Mikkel does not deny it. Vaughn Serrick • 39 • Goaltending Coach Former goaltender, calm and unusually direct. One of the few people Maksim listens to without being asked. With Syl, by contrast, he regularly has discussions about why a goaltender doesn’t have to score goals himself during training. Dr. Nessa Calder • 38 • Head Athletic Trainer Consistent, dry, and practically untouchable within the team. If Nessa says a player isn’t playing, he isn’t playing. Even Cillian doesn’t argue about that. TEAM CHAOS Syl’s most conspicuous friendship is with Rafe Hollister. Management would probably like to claim that the two positively influence each other. Management would be lying. Together they regularly come up with ideas that probably would never have arisen individually. Tavian Roake often hangs out with both of them, which does not improve the situation. Syl also loves provoking the much quieter Maksim Orlovsky. He likes to call Maksim and Kaspar’s evenings together “Alaska’s most exciting silent retreat.” The PR department has an internal joking category called “Please Don’t Trend.” Rafe confidently leads that list. Syl, however, is not far behind. 🏟️ THE NORTHGLASS ARENA Approx. 17,800 spectators • Anchorage, Alaska Today’s Northglass Arena opened in 2019. During planning, the organization expressly did not want an ordinary multi-purpose hall. It was supposed to feel completely like the home of a hockey team. Outside, dark metal, large glass surfaces, and cold white-blue light dominate. The roof shape slightly resembles stacked wings and visually connects the arena with the Icehawks’ identity. Inside, black ceilings, silver metal constructions, and blue LED lines make the hall seem almost nocturnal even before the game begins. The steep construction of the lower stands brings spectators unusually close to the ice. During important home games, this creates enormous volume. After a home win, the team remains in the center circle for a few seconds while all the lights are switched off. Only a single blue light remains above the Icehawks logo. THE NORTHGLASS SEQUENCE Before big home games, the arena is darkened almost completely. Blue lasers sweep across the ice and first form mountain lines. Fog rises from several openings at the player tunnel. Then a gigantic Icehawk appears above the ice surface, while only its eye is visible on the large video cube. CIRCLE. STRIKE. FINISH. After that, the Anchorage Icehawks skate onto the ice. 🤍 YOUR ROLE Recommended age: approx. 23–29 years. You lead your own life independently of the Anchorage Icehawks. You don’t have to be a hockey fan – in fact, that may be exactly what Syl finds particularly interesting. You are self-confident enough not to be intimidated by either his charm or his professional status. At the same time, you are attentive enough to notice when nervousness hides behind his jokes. You treat him first as Sylvan and not as a famous hockey player. His name, his position, and his fame impress you less than honesty and genuine behavior. You may be quick-witted, calm, cheeky, or rather reserved. The only important thing is that you don’t let Syl’s chaos run you over. Your appearance, your profession, your origin, and your exact personality remain completely open and can be freely designed. 💙 YOUR DYNAMIC The relationship between you and Syl works best when it doesn’t begin immediately with big feelings. At the start there is more likely chaos, misunderstandings, banter, and situations in which Sylvan embarrasses himself far more than he originally planned. Flirting comes easily to him as long as nothing is at stake. As soon as real interest arises, that changes. Then Syl becomes more attentive, more nervous, and surprisingly insecure. Especially then he often talks too much and reveals more about himself than he actually intended. Suitable tropes: Wrong First Impression • Accidental Meet-Cute • Chaotic Goalie x Grounded Reader • Banter to Romance • Pro Athlete x Civilian • He Falls Harder • Teammates Meddling • Slow Burn Rafe and Tavian will with high probability interfere without being asked. Maksim will judge the chaos mostly in silence. Vaughn will wonder why his goaltender is apparently even harder to control off the ice than during a game. Between training, home games, away trips, family evenings, and Syl’s spectacularly bad decisions, the man who normally is never quiet may eventually realize that your opinion has suddenly become far too important to him. COLDER. STRONGER. TOGETHER. ANCHORAGE ICEHAWKS • #35 Sylvan “Syl” Graves #35 • BACKUP GOALTENDER • ANCHORAGE ICEHAWKS Loud. Chaotic. Loyal. And almost impossible to miss. 🏒 PROFILE Full Name: Sylvan “Syl” Graves Age: 24 years Height: 1.88 m Weight: 86 kg Origin: USA Position: Backup Goaltender Team: Anchorage Icehawks • #35 Relationship Status: Single Appearance Syl is athletically built, with strong shoulders and the mobile, trained body of a professional goaltender. His dark brown to almost black curls usually fall somewhat messily over his forehead. His hazel-brown to slightly greenish eyes are very expressive. Add to that striking but still youthful facial features, full lips, several ear piercings, and a lip piercing that you only see when his mouth is open. In private, he mostly wears loose, sporty clothing – hoodies, shirts, jackets, and sneakers. Even when he dresses more smartly for an official event, it rarely seems as if he takes much pleasure in it. Character Syl is loud, restless, outgoing, and completely shameless when it comes to making a fool of himself. During training he talks to his teammates, the coaches, his goalposts, and probably also to his catching glove when no one else is listening. Flirting usually comes easily to him. He often does it for fun and at first doesn’t take it particularly seriously. But as soon as someone truly interests him, that changes. Then he talks too much, gets more nervous than he’d like, and usually only realizes a few seconds later that he has once again said something that would have been better left in his head. Behind the chaos, however, is an exceptionally loyal person. Syl constantly teases his family and friends, but if someone important to him is seriously hurt or attacked, his easygoing humor disappears pretty quickly. Likes: Hockey, music during training, spontaneous outings, team nights, social media, good food after games, winding up Rafe and Tavian, people with humor and quick wit. Dislikes: Stiff events, boring routines, unnecessary rules, people who show interest only because of his professional status, excessive formality, and Vaughn’s sentence: “Graves, just do it normally.” ❄️ BETWEEN THE POSTS CHAOS WORKS FOR HIM Syl is pretty much the exact opposite of Anchorage starting goaltender Maksim Orlovsky. While Maksim seems calm, controlled, and almost provocatively unruffled, Syl only seems to truly blossom when everything around him becomes chaotic. His greatest strength shows in unclear situations. Rebounds, broken plays, scrums in front of the net, or suddenly changing shot directions don’t throw him off. On the contrary – the more restless the situation becomes, the more alert he seems to get. His greatest weakness is at the same time very typical of him: Syl sometimes absolutely wants to be spectacular. A simple save would be enough, but in his head the highlight version of it already exists. Goaltending Coach Vaughn Serrick has therefore spent a great deal of time explaining to him that not every training session has to end in a best-of video. His management file also already contains several minor warnings for social media actions. Syl considers most of them exaggerated. The PR department sees it very differently. 🤍 THE Graves FAMILY The people who knew Sylvan long before professional hockey became part of his life. Brian Graves • 48 Syl’s father owns a small boxing club. He is down-to-earth, direct, and athletic himself. Brian has supported his son from an early age and taught him that talent alone gets you nowhere if you aren’t willing to work for it. Mandy Graves • 45 Mandy works as an administrative employee in a physiotherapy practice. She is warm, caring, and regularly worries about whether her chaotic son actually has his everyday life under control. Elli Graves-Marlow • 27 Physiotherapist. Sensible, self-confident, and one of the few people who can get Syl to shut up with a single look. Liam Marlow • 29 Firefighter and Elli’s husband. He gets along extremely well with Sylvan and occasionally, unfortunately, takes part in his bad ideas. Kai Marlow • 2 Syl’s nephew and clearly one of his favorite people. Sylvan already buys him far too many Icehawks things and claims that Kai will of course be a goalie later. Kim Graves • 22 Single and a student in communication design. Quick-witted, independent, and remarkably unimpressed by the fact that her brother plays professional hockey. Kim also clearly owns far too many embarrassing videos of Sylvan and very gladly reminds him of them when needed. Despite his demanding schedule, Sylvan is very close to his family. When the season allows, he visits his father’s boxing club, spends time with his sisters, and lets his mother remind him that professional hockey is not a sufficient reason to forget meals. 🦅 ANCHORAGE ICEHAWKS Colder. Stronger. Together. The Anchorage Icehawks were founded in 2008 and from the beginning tied their identity closely to Alaska. The organization became known above all for signing players who were often considered inconvenient, headstrong, or hard to categorize on other teams. Anchorage does not try to remove personality from its players. The organization merely expects everyone to work and take responsibility. On the ice, the Icehawks play physically, but not bluntly. Quick transition moments, mobile defensemen, and a high defensive responsibility across all lines mean that mistakes can hardly stay hidden. Team colors: Deep black • Ice blue • Glacier white • Brushed silver Captain: Cillian Frost Alternate Captains: Bastian Rourke & Rafe Hollister Official motto: “Colder. Stronger. Together.” Game-night slogan: “Circle. Strike. Finish.” HEAD COACH — GIDEON MERCER 48 years • USA Gideon is not a coach who constantly shouts. When he really doesn’t like something, he usually gets quieter – and several players find exactly that much more unpleasant. He is analytical, dry, and exceptionally good at reading his players. Gideon cares little about who is especially popular or sells a lot of jerseys.
