who the frick is montparnasse anyway:

THE BOY. He was born Raoul Nejem, son of a French native and Pakistani immigrant. Outside of his father and uncle, he’s never really met his dad’s side of the family, but he grew up surrounded by his maternal grandparents, and his mother’s sister in a suburb outside of Paris. His family never really had a lot of money, but they made do. His father works as a pastry chef and his mother is in management of a small boutique chain. Raoul grew up in a loving environment, but the short of it is, he’s still a shitty human being. He was something of a bully in elementary school, getting others in trouble for the things he did, stealing from classmates, etc. The longer he got away with it, the more the habits stuck with him. He made rule breaking seem cool and by time he was in high school he was fairly popular with the wrong crowd and was starting to call himself Montparnasse. He was everything parents warned their kids about, but always wore a smile and put on a pleasant face in front of authority. In school itself, he coasted on average grades with bare minimum effort to keep them, but in the end he still dropped out his senior year to his parent’s dismay.

THE TEEN. Montparnasse left behind all ties to Raoul Nejem and moved to Paris proper with a friend. The two quickly lost track of each other and Montparnasse got involved with a rapidly increasing amount of crime. It started with knock offs, moved onto drug trade, and escalated to murder after a partner turned on him. It was self defense, but it shattered any remaining innocence of the boy from Arcueil. Having caught the attention of three older, more experienced criminals in the city, Montparnasse made an alliance with what would soon be known as the Patron Minette. Between the four of them, they had a wide range of influence in crime in the city and coming together brought them stability and control.

THE LEGEND. Montparnasse is now a name known throughout the criminal scene of Paris as Patron Minette’s boy king. He is not the leader of the four, that is a title they each hold claim to, but he is known for his theatrics and flair in a way that the others are generally not. He is a shadow, a thief, a crime lord. He is petty, vengeful, terrible, and capable of deceiving half of Paris with no more than a smile.

points of interest:

THIEF: Montparnasse has been stealing for the fun of it since he was a boy and has turned it into something of a career move. While he’s generally more of a night person, if Montparnasse is out and about during the day it’s generally in the business of lifting people of their wallets and valuables. Both wiith the Minette and on his own, Montparnasse is something of a burglar as well. Alarm systems do little to deter him.

DRUGS: Montparnasse is in the business of trading more than he is in the business of using. He and the Minette supply their dealers scattereed around the city and handle the shipping of the drugs into Paris more than anything. While he’s not opposed to using recreationally, he has a strict rule against injecting anything and ruining his skin with track marks.

FASHION: Montparnasse dresses in the best of what he can get his hands on. While having a strong hand in the knock off trade, he strives to replace his own fakes with the real designers. Even when he’s in jeans and a tee shirt, it’s safe to assume Montparnasse is either wearing or emulating a designer name. He is also known to wear clothing designed with women in mind, never so far as to be considered a cross dresser, but he does wear them casually and without care. Generally, it’s just in the cut of the pants or the shirt, but he has been known to wear other garments as well. Most notably, he wears heeled boots and has absolutely been seen running in them with something of a terrifying proficiency.

RECORD: He has been arrested on several occasions, but has never been caught for something that could put him away, much to the displeasure of certain inspectors. Eponine usually ends up posting bail for him since loyalty of the Minette does not really extend to walking into the hands of the police force.

MURDER: Montparnasse does not take this course of action lightly. While his associates might take to this a little more frequently than he likes, Montparnasse really has no inclination to get caught up in a murder investigation. If he needs someone gone, he leaves it to Claquesous and Gueulemer or tasks it to one of their subordinates. DO NOT, howvever, mistake his unwillingness to a lack of capablity. He can and will take a life if it comes down to it. He has no tolerance for traitors and will often personally put the bullet in the skull of anywhere who wears Minette colors and turns.

THREAT: Montparnasse is dangerous, but the majority of those who meet him do not know to what extent. While he can absolutely be charming and polite, he is generally something of an asshole and wears the ‘bad boy’ attitude as something of a badge. Most people, and this goes for the majority of Les Amis as well, do not know to what extent his criminal connections go. It is generally safe to assume he has some shady friends and probably carries a knife for more than decoration, but few connect him to the criminal organization that is practicaly running Paris underground unless they too have ties to the criminal underground. If that’s the case, Montparnasse is probably a name they reognize, even if they don’t connect it to the pretty boy in front of them.

DECEPTION: Montparnasse is willing to play to the assumptions made about him – to an extent. There are people who see him among the other leaders and think it’s some kind of joke. He has been taken as some sort of ‘boy toy’ to the other three on several occasions and has always let the bastard dig their grave before destroying them and brutally setting things straight. If there is a chance for him to use your assumptions of him to his own benefit, he absolutely will.

what they’ve been up to recently:

Montparnasse manages to keep a low profile, shockingly enough. While his reputation proceeds him, unless something Big™ is going down, his pursuits are generally played close to hand. On the regular, he is managing the Minette with the other three and dealing with those who report to him. He is largely involved in their knock off and smuggling dealings, often using the knock offs as a means of transporting other products including counterfeits and drugs.

where to find them:

THE THEATRE: This locale is limited to the heads and upper tier of Patron Minette, and probably Gavroche who is just, you know. Gavroche. This is the main headquarters of the four heads and where Montparnasse spends a good deal of his time organizing jobs and the like.

APARTMENT: Montparnasse has an apartment that is strictly his own and usually frowns on the other Minette showing up at it, or at the very least on them lurking around his doorstep. It’s a small, modern set up that he keeps extremely neat to the point it looks under lived in.

SAFE HOUSES: The Minette have a number of safe houses scattered in and around Paris that the four heads and a handful of their subordinates know about. Most learn about the locations after being brought to one by one of the heads when a situation got too hot.

SOUTH SIDE: Montparnasse does most of his business around the south side of the city in the area of the Montparnasse cemetery because he’s that kind of asshole. This is in the general vicinity of the Musain, so while he doesn’t usually attend the cafe, he does cross paths with its regulars frequently.

current plans:

CRIME: It’s not so much a plan as it as a life style. He’s just doing his day to day in managing his corner of the operation and keeping up his own standard of living through illegal means. He has no interest in the affairs of Les Amis and their lofty aspirations, he’s just focused on number one.

NOT PRISON: He can’t even begin to describe how badly he would like to not go to prison. Getting arrested is one thing, but the idea of an actual prison sentence is the kind of shit he chain smokes over at six in the morning when he’s trying to sleep.

desired interactions:

Montparnasse trying to get himself out of trouble is one of my favorite things in the world and watching him sweet talking his way out of and into anything is always fun. There is so much room to work with Montparnasse and I would love to explore him beyond the guy Les Amis wrinkle their noses at. I want to especially do more with Montparnasse flaunting his dangerous side, more so when it’s around other dangerous characters than the goody goods.

offered interactions:

The bad boy. The asshole. The thief. Montparnasse isn’t pure evil by any means, and he does have his redeeming qualities if you’ve managed to hack away at his 97 defense layers, but he is an antagonistic character. If you ever need someone to play the part of the jerk, he’s here for you. Montparnasse is pretty much the worst qualities of every dude T.Swift has ever sung about rolled up into one pretty, trash prince package.

anything else?:

I love all my alternate verses for Montparnasse, and I will always be excited to explore one of those with you too. Additionally, I have a not-so-secret-secret au option of interacting with older/post-barricade Montparnasse if you want him.

                   —HEADCANON

Patron Minette’s main base of operations is an abandoned theatre in the city. Generally, it’s only a place for the four heads and their subsequent captains to venture, though its location is known in myth and speculation to the rest of the gang. Claquesous and Gueluemer usually lurk among the orchestra and mezzanine unless actively engaged in something on stage. Babet tends to favor the back stage wings. And Montparnasse, predictably, favors center stage. Vagabond code and the dark red rose painted on the back door are enough to keep unwanted visitors from their sacred space. No one other than the four heads know just how much contraband is hidden around the theatre.

[monsterparnasse]

MONTPARNASSE AND THOSE SHITTY ACTIVISTS:

So here’s the deal. Montparnasse isn’t a part of the ABC. He’s not their quirky weird friend who occasionally commits crimes. He’s a thief. He’s an asshole. He and them do not get along on a regular basis. But they share a city. And he moves in their circles, for his own reasons, more than he likes sometimes. So yeah. He knows them. The trick of it is, none of them know him.

EPONINE and GAVROCHE are his main connections to the group. Most of what he knows about the ABC is through their word of mouth, and his occasional loitering in their area. He and Ep have a History™ and he sorta likes Gavroche enough that he kind of wants to keep an eye out for the kid. He gives him all kind of shit, sure, but in a brotherly way. MARIUS is one of the two actual Amis that Mont has any familiarity with. In Marius’s case, it’s because Mont has hella creeped on the kid in an effort to find out why Eponine gives a shit about him. He sorta of hates Marius’s existence, but would probably never do a thing to him. And Marius probably has zero clue as to who the fuck he is. GRANTAIRE is the second, and that’s because Gav really likes Grantaire. So Mont had to see what was so great about this guy too. He sort of begrudgingly accepts that Grantaire is a person and they sometimes exchange some measure of snark, but the two are oil and water and don’t get on. Grantaire thinks the worst of him and probably suspects a good portion of Mont’s talk is not just talk. ENJOLRAS and COURFEYRAC make up the next ring of orbit that Montparnasse acknowledges. Enjolras because you can’t not notice this pretty as fuck fuck, and Courfeyrac because he sorta ties in with his Marius creeping and he almost respects the kid’s style. Almost. He’s interacted with the two a handful of times, but generally it’s been confrontational with sly comments and nothing either is eager to repeat. Of the two, he holds Enjolras in more respect for some obvious reasons, and, ignoring his morals, could be interested in learning more about him for curiosity’s sake. The fact his flirting with the man pisses off Grantaire is a small plus. JEHAN and BAHOREL are on the next circle, both because of their fashion choices and generally not positively. He sees Jehan and cringes on reflex which has led to some words between them. Bahorel is sort of a grudging ‘you could be worse off’ acceptance. He also accepts the fact Bahorel could take him in a fight and still look good, if Mont ever fought fair that is. FEUILLY, BOSSUET, JOLY, and COMBEFERRE generally don’t mean all that much to him. He knows their faces and if he were told their names, could probably recall a comment or two from Gavroche or Eponine, but they’re of almost no consequence to him.

[monsterparnasse]

❛ half of me is a hopeless romantic and the other half is, well, an asshole ❜

              His lips curls up in dramatic disgust. Hopeless romanticism. What a waste. Romanticism was hopeless. “ I’d stick to being an asshole. Better pay off. ��

                                “My twelve year old’s got a better father’an I ever did,” he replied lazily, without a hint of remorse. “’Nd as I told Babet, if y’want an act y’gotta pay for it.”

              A sack full of electronics fell onto the chair beside ‘Nasse – everything from old ipods to new google phones which were somehow worth less than the nano’s.

                                “It’s all there. Feel free t’check.”

                    Lying to a liar never flew with him, Thenardier. Montparnasse can’t imagine a worse father than one who forgets he has kids at times. “ Your act is piss. No one wants to pay for it. ”

                    He pockets his own phone, sleek and new and entirely stolen and lock broken, and comes to inspect Thenardier’s wares. He paws through them, tossing a few to the side, both shiny and new and utterly trash, and glanced up. “ Not as bad as your usual, ” he said, because Montparnasse could not give a compliment without a kick in the ribs to follow.
