Roller-Coaster

Roller-Coaster

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

Character:

Having left Silicon Valley under 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.
