Peaky Blinders (2013- )

The main thing is, you bunch of fuckers, despite the provocation from the cavalry, no fighting!

[redfordz]

The situation could only be creepier if the soundtrack was a Billie Eilish album. At this rate, “Bury a Friend” would cut it pretty well, if you asked Hugo. He tried not to think about Izzy and Maggie’s disappearance, but the mental images of them at school were tattooed on his brain. Although he wasn’t particularly close to them, it was a shock to Hugo.

On the top of that, there was also the Johnnie-Jamie situation, which was absurd. Where the fuck was Jamie? What happened to the weird boy with no guts to face Damien? Well, suddenly a new version of him appeared out of thin air, a version with more balls than Hugo could ever imagine and -- Hugo would never admit this out loud -- hotter. According to his info, Nick was the boy’s new roommate, and Hugo would get answers one way or another. 

As a matter of fact, he needed answers to several things. First of all, his siblings. He couldn’t even form questions, because the sinking feeling inside his stomach was still there. Well, he knew his parents marriage was a fucking failure -- after all, he was the one who caught his dad red handed. Still, knowing his father had so little respect for other people was awful. He hoped Connor and Casey got used to be treated badly, because it wouldn’t get any easier with the Redfords.

Second of all: why the fuck was he nominated as the BBC’s president? ‘I mean, not why, this is kinda obvious’, he thought while got out of the library with fast steps -- and forgetting to say goodbye to Sister Clary. But was he really nominated because they thought he would to a good job? Or were they so desperate for someone, that put the first poor devil on the place? Hell if he knew. 

Hugo’s fast hands went deep inside his pocket, nodding as the nuns passed by him when he left to the gardens. His plan was to smoke a joint and forget about everything, when he saw a familiar face passing by.

HUGO REDFORD ( ALEX FITZALAN ) is a 18 year old SENIOR student at Broadripple Academy. HE is originally from BOSTON, MA but moved to Broadripple FOUR YEARS ago. HE is CHARISMATIC and RESOURCEFUL but can also be MANIPULATIVE and EMOTIONALLY DUMB.  --- HOUSE SETON

The the smell of french perfume, wrinkled designer clothes, hand rolled cigarettes, stolen bottles of wine, fast hands sneaking things out of pockets, greek sculptures, empty museums, doing the hard thing, listening behind doors, using memes to repress feelings, always keeping a raised head no matter what and mixed playlists with rap, indie and classical music.

— THE REDFORD FAMILY

Hugo Redford is a privileged boy with a big house, a comfortable life and enough money so he doesn’t have to worry about it right now. His parents have a boring marriage and fight a lot over petty stuff. Actually, his mom doesn’t love his father. She likes to fuck him, sometimes, and make a better use of his money than he actually does. She invests, he’s the trophy husband. This is why his parents let them marry, they saw a lot more potential on her. Grandma Redford is literally every cold-hearted socialite you’ve ever heard of.

Dean, his father, has an affair with his business partner - a much younger man. Hugo caught Dean cheating on his mother, but his father didn’t see him and the son never confronted his father about it.

Helen, his mother, is polite, capable, smart and full of rage. She comes from a middle class family, nothing like her husband’s family, but she always had great ambitions, which is why she married him. Helen raised her son to be better than her husband, but you know, he’s a man, so she doesn’t have high expectations - for Helen, all men are trash.  He feels like every accomplishment he does, his mother isn’t pleased enough and maybe she’ll never get to love him as much as he wants her to love him.

— THE ROBERTS TWINS

Hugo learned a valuable lesson in life: don’t expect much from people, and expect even less from Dean Redford. Which is why, when his father told him a year ago that he had siblings, Hugo’s response was a meme. Even before he met Connor and Casey Roberts, Hugo already knew they weren’t cut for that kind of thing. He has a good eye to spot rotten people, since he grew up surrounded by them, and he knew the Roberts Twins were good people.

The first thing Hugo told his brother, Connor, was: “You won’t last a day here. Go back to wherever you came from, you’ll be much better off. He doesn’t love you”. He didn’t say this because he’s mean, although it’s kinda true, but because he felt responsible to prepare them for how the upper class would react to them. Therefore, Hugo would antagonize them to make sure they would be ready.

Dean is a gentleman, he’s fun, he plays golf, tennis, baseball, everything you can think of. He has a way with people, he just knows how to be magnetic, and although this isn’t innate to Hugo, he copies it well enough to be a second nature. Dean wants the world, he wants everything he can put his hands on and leave his mark. However, he has a horrible habit: he gets bored. The twins are the byproduct of an extramarital relationship with their mom, while he was engaged to Hugo’s mom.

— PERSONALITY

Hugo is disciplined and the kind of person that says exactly what he thinks, even if it’s the cold, hard truth. He does the hard things, the dirty job, he gets things done. If his siblings wanted to know his world, they had to get ready, which is why he took the matter with his own hands to prepare them.

His name is inspired by Victor Hugo, and just like his namesake, doesn’t believe in snitching. He has a machiavellian personality, for him everything is politics. He has a weird moral compass, yet, it’s his own ethical code and he doesn’t break it. He is strongly motivated by sense of duty.

Greek god Hermes vibes. Hugo will listen behind closed doors, steal stuff he finds suspicious and do everything he can to make things better, even if it’s the worst thing possible. Absolute wine snatcher, will steal every available bottle of wine with no guilt. A little bit of a kleptomaniac.

Always aims to be the best at what he does.

Absolute wine snatcher, will steal every available bottle of wine with no guilt.

Started to roll his own cigarettes bc he likes to mix cannabis and tobacco. Hugo thinks rolling cigarettes helps him with his anxiety and he only learned to roll a good cigarette because he compulsively started to roll them, absolutely hyperfixated, until he thought it was acceptable.

Depressed & stressed, never takes his meds.

Sleeps around a lot, doesn’t care about gender, and doesn’t pretend he’s straight. It’s just nobody’s business, so he just doesn’t explain it.

Likes art, music, old movies, museums and history.

Misses his cats more than he misses his parents.

He loves pomegranate and cranberry tea with honey.

— BROADRIPPLE

He joined Broadripple when he was a freshman, just like most of his family.

He is organized, but always misplaces his academy card.

Hugo avoids the headmaster’s portrait at all costs because he thinks it’s creepy and feels his eyes are following him. When he can’t avoid, he tries to imagine the headmaster dressed like Trixie Mattel.

Sometimes he forgets to greet Sister Clary and it’s… Alwful.

He is scared shitless of the Lorehill Woods, but likes to hang out there and read murder mystery books for the sake of poetic justice. It’s not often and he doesn’t go deep into the forest.

After the former president of the Broadripple Boy’s Club graduated, Hugo was nominated by him as president. He has no idea how to be a president of this club, but he definitely has in mind challenges involving the woods and the ruins. Being nominated as the president is a lot of responsibility and Hugo is afraid he won’t do justice to the former members.

As a roommate, he is pretty neat, but the beginning of the year is the worst. Hugo hates white walls, it gives him anxiety, so it takes him some time to cover the wall beside his bed with anything that resembles wallpaper.

Hugo often got in trouble with the nuns for bad behavior, so on Junior year he got into mandatory Buddy Club duty until he graduates.

Hugo is a member of the Track Team and plays as the goalie to the soccer team. He hates team work, but he had to choose a sport.
