Roller-Coaster

Roller-Coaster

a.k.a., Brandon Beasley, a.k.a., Dominic Perignon

Character:

Having left Silicon Valley ignominiously, Brandon is now at home here in L.A., the hungriest city in the world. He aims to make truly obscene amounts of money, armed with a brash smile, a crisp blazer, and vaultless ambition.

Hooks:

Cryptobro: If Brandon is nearby and you mention the blockchain, forex markets, or really any speculative financial instrument, he will be on you with the energy of a cokehead at a cocktail party. If you're looking to invest, he's looking to show you the riskiest, sketchiest, most ludicrously rewarding method of doing so.

Gym Bunny: Do you even lift? Brandon lifts. Scenes can happen at the gym, or at the beach, where the benefits of the gym are reaped.

An Angry Man: Simone de Beauvoir once wrote, in a letter in which she listed a number of contradictory desires, "You see, it is difficult to get all which I want. And then when I do not succeed I get mad with anger." Brandon wants so much. He wants so much, in fact, that if you're a mortal with Willpower 5 or less, you won't even want to be in the same room as him. It's quite simple to start a scene with Brandon causing a scene: at the grocery store, the coffee shop, or stuck in traffic, he can be found yelling at something or someone.

Clubber: EDM, house, hip hop, loud enough to make conversation unpleasant.

Man About Town: Brandon lives in Westlake and frequents DTLA. But he can, in pursuit of a scheme or a pop-up clothing shop, be found almost anywhere.

Fugitive: Brandon is Blacklisted 3 in the financial community, and you may in fact recognize him with a successful Perception+Finance check. Succeed in your check and I'll page you the details.
