"If I know anything about his type, he probably deserves it," Elena mused aloud, glancing over at Edgar. Perhaps she was biased, considering none of her relations with men had gone well, but she could tell even from this distance that the man in question was a tense sort. "He's probably making it a difficult evening for both of them." Fiddling with her glass of wine, she turned her attention back to Edgar. "Inveterate people-watcher, aren't you? Reading peoples' deepest darkest secrets?"

who: open ​ where: anywhere public that works for your muse

People watching was a skill which required precision, a skill which Edgar had honed since his childhood days. He could sit still for hours, so perfectly calm that he was nearly imperceptible, which was quite a feat considering his physical presence. He’d learned to document every facial expression, every movement believing that they were indications of feelings and thoughts which bubbled under the surface.

So, when the man seated just a few spots over suddenly developed a tick in the jaw, Edgar couldn’t help but cock his head in the direction of the stranger. He couldn’t hear exactly what was happening but he could tell that the person seated across from him was certainly not pleased with the man. “I can’t decide if I’m amused or feel sorry for the poor guy,” he said, turning his attention to the person beside him. There was a slight pause as he considered; then, Edgar spoke again. “Okay, scratch that. I’m definitely amused.”

"Surprised they didn't ask you to also provide free bottles of wine. Or did they and you're just holding out on us?" Toby teased. They didn't know Edgar too well. His wife (ex-wife?) was a prominant local attorney and Edgar ran the winery. That was, in many ways, the extent of TJ's knowledge about the two of them. "I think people might be more inclined to sign up for a job if there was a bottle of wine in the littler bribery packages."

Many of the local business had brought things like pens or satchels with their logo on it. TJ had brought business cards, and stickers that showed some of their tattoo designs and art-work. "Heck, maybe I'd get more interest if I was handing out free needles. Although, not the kind most people would want. If they were into that kind of thing." TJ had a pretty small business, but they could take on an apprentice or two, maybe someone to help with admin. Being here might also encourage potential clients to check them out, so TJ had figured 'what the hell'.

Edgar Yang + Family

Edgar's relationship with his biological family is complicated, in every sense of the word. He was born and raised in Avignon, France, the heir to a wine empire that had grown and thrived over generations. At the age of eighteen, though, Edgar moved to the United States and has since had very little contact with his parents.

Xavier Fortier (60, fc: Mads Mikkelsen): father; CEO and face of Fortier Wines. Daiyu Yang (59, fc: Lucy Liu): mother Alexandria Fortier: (39, fc Li Jun Li): half sister, former CEO of Heira Tech, owner of Tiboulen Stables.

Daiyu and Xavier were married young. Their relationship was not based in love, but rather a business match as both families were wealthy and the merge seemed to be helpful. Shortly after their marriage, Daiyu gave birth to Alexandria and one year later, she gave birth to Edgar. It was soon discovered that Xavier was not Alex's father. The marriage never recovered from there.

After moving to the US, Edgar began to build a new family for himself. His sister is still his closest and truest friend, but others of note are:

Marco Gagliardi-Fortier: husband. The absolute love of Edgar's life, his soulmate in every sense of the word, and the father of their children. There is no one on Earth that Edgar loves more, and nothing that Edgar wouldn't do for him. @naturiisms Griffin Reynolds: business partner and one of his best friends; Edgar is Griffin's daughter's godfather. @xallmywolvesx Calliope Duong: one of Edgar's closest friends in Denver. @andante--andante

Not pictured: the Gagliardi brood; Edgar's in laws have become a pseudo family to him and he loves them all individually and as a unit.

who: charlotte, @la-petitmortss where: the rabbit hole

The cocktail bar was one that Edgar frequented. At this point, he was almost sure that they had an open tab for him or his name written on some sort of frequent patron list. He could imagine it now: Edgar Yang, black card, accompanied with a photo of him.

Without waiting for instructions, Edgar made his way to a table in the back. There weren’t very many people around but still, a creature of habit and precision, he gravitated to his usual – a table situated in a corner that was in the perfect position to view the exits. This was his way: positioning himself so that he could catalogue every person who entered or exited the premises.

“2012 Bordeaux,” Edgar ordered, one finger raised to catch the eye of one of the waitresses. As she approached, Edgar flashed a smile in her direction. “The Fortier label, please.”  He’d never seen her before, which meant that she had to be a recent hire. “And I’m expecting a guest. Would you be so kind as to point her in this direction when she arrives?”

EDGAR YANG + MARCO GAGLIARDI-FORTIER are looking for THEIR SURROGATE. they’d like the faceclaim to possibly be someone along the lines of UTP 30-40 years old (suggestions include: Shay Mitchell, Tristin Mays, Tabria Majors, Deepika Padukone, Nathalie Kelley, Kristin Kreuk, etc) but you must reach out to OFWISHFULTHINKING or NATURIISMS to find out more! ( Edgar and Marco have had two children by surrogacy. While the surrogate isn’t the biological mother of their children, she is a valued friend. As their two prior children were born via surrogate (aged 4 and 7) this muse may be the surrogate who gave birth to them or may be someone new that they’re working with. Please note, that while Edgar and Marco are paying for everything (medical expenses, as well as a living stipend) this is all very above board. The surrogate has signed a contract, so this plotline will not result in her trying to keep the baby, breaking up the family, an affair, etc. We’re just looking for a friendly and supportive family vibe.)

⌛️ Alex

Alexandria - Sleep Headcanon

Alex’s sleep has always been short and light. She often doesn’t sleep much more than 5 hours. When it comes to someone sleeping at her side it takes her time to get comfortable enough with them there to fall asleep. There were rare exceptions. When he was younger, Edgar would often come into her room to sleep, away from the darkness of his room and in the comfort of hers. She got used to having him there, his steady breathing a reminder that he was ok, safe from Xavier if only for a few hours. Sam, ever the cuddler, taught her a love for snuggling. More than a few times, she’d find herself so calm curled up next to him that she couldn’t help but drift off for a little while. Amelie is the final exception to the rule. The child had always been so precious to her and Alex found that her steady breathing as she slept reminded her of young Edgar. That comforting reminder was enough to lull her into a light nap, plus the young child was the best snuggler.

→  details (tw: child abuse, mentions of drug and alcohol use/abuse)

Edgar was born just a few months after his half sister (his mother’s love child and a blight on his father’s name). From infancy, the young boy was tasked with carrying on the family lineage, of being something that his father could be proud of.

Though Edgar was bright and charismatic, there was nothing he could do to earn his father’s love. In fact, Xavier – owner and face of Fortier Wines, a wine label and series of wineries which had been in the family for generations – could hardly bear to look at the child. In his eyes, his son was weak (afraid of the dark and dependent on his older sister and mother).

Still, he was to be the family’s future and so, it was critical that he follow his father’s plan for his life. Plans that included an arranged business marriage, inheriting the family business, and continuing the family’s legacy. Xavier’s plan, however, did not include his son falling for in love, and with a staff member’s son, no less. When Xavier realized that his carefully laid plans could be derailed, he decided to take matters into his own hands by offering to pay for the schooling, both current and future, for the boy as long as he promised to never interact with Edgar again. It was an offer that the boy couldn’t turn down.

Xavier’s proud announcement on Edgar’s 18th birthday led to a blowout which saw Edgar severing all connection from the family and moving to NYC to live with his maternal aunt’s family. It was there that he got into the business of personal security. While Edgar didn’t necessarily enjoy being a bodyguard to the rich and famous, he excelled at it.

Recently, though, he’s moved to Amory where he works as a boxing and self-defense instructor while laying plans for creating his own personal security business.

II. BIOGRAPHY.

TRIGGER WARNINGS: Child Abuse, alcohol and drug mention.

Family: Edgar doesn’t know what the word means entirely. Of course, he knows what the dictionary says family is, and what the media says family is, but he doesn’t actually know what a family is supposed to be. He’d always felt as if he was living in a reality tv show – on the outside, everything seemed perfect. The Fortiers had money – the result of a rather successful winery business that had been in the family for generations. The Fortier children had the best of everything – schooling, clothing, material possessions. On the inside, though, family was his own personal hell. His mother often numbed herself with pills and his father… Well, Xavier was the worst kind of monster – the kind of man who abused his wife and children simply because he could. The only bright spot in young Edgar’s life was his sister, but even she didn’t know how much he suffered.

Edgar made sure of that. Life may have been torture for him, but he would be damned if life was anything less than perfect for Alexandria. She was entitled to the picturesque home life that they’d seen on the television and obsessed over and he was determined to do everything in his power to give her that, even if it meant walking through hell.

Edgar Michael Fortier. It was a stately name. One a prince would be proud to bear, but to a young, broken boy, it felt like a burden. Edgar never felt as if he quite belonged. The son of a Chinese mother and Caucasian father, Edgar was made aware of just how different he was from a young age; he wasn’t white enough to have a place among the children of his father’s friends, and he wasn’t connected enough to his Chinese heritage to truly have a place among his mother’s family. He’d almost come to expect the quizzical looks that always accompanied his introductions.

He learned from a young age to breathe through those feelings, to be the stronghold his surname suggested. When the other children hurled ugly words at him, Edgar would simply bury the feelings that those words brought to the surface. Whenever his father flew into his rage and used Edgar as his target, Edgar would grit his teeth and propel his mind to somewhere else. After a while, it became easy to hide behind the mask he’d cultivated – cold, unfeeling, all business; to be the snake, biding his time for the perfect moment to strike.

That moment finally came on Edgar’s eighteenth birthday. His mother had baked a small cake (the first kind thing she’d done for her son in years). At first, it seemed as if the family would get through one event without an incident, but as the night progressed, it became increasingly apparent that Xavier wouldn’t allow his son to be happy. Overflowing with selfish pride, he announced that he’d played a hand in separating his son from the boy he’d fallen in love with. The family, after all, had different plans for Edgar – plans that didn’t involve losing his heart and his good sense to a staff member’s son. Years later, Edgar still cannot say exactly what happened. One moment, he’d been staring his father in the eyes. The next, his hand was wrapped around his father’s throat, pinning the man to a wall.

After his eighteenth birthday, Edgar cut all ties to his father. He changed his surname to his mother’s – Yang – and moved to New York City, an entire ocean away from the family’s legacy. While he still maintained his connections to the winery and its staff, Edgar began to build a life away from the Fortiers. This led him to the private security industry, where he could easily convert the skills he’d learned training since his youth with his sister. It was a career at which he excelled. The clients were annoying and Edgar couldn’t say that the job was fulfilling, but it was easy enough and kept him sharp.

As he got closer to the end of his twenties, Edgar realized that being a bodyguard for hire was not what he planned to do for the rest of his life. He moved to Amory, hoping for a quieter existence – somewhere where he could focus his efforts into building his own private security firm while also learning more about business management in the case that he ever decided to return to France and the family’s wineries.

III. PERSONALITY TRAITS.

POSITIVE TRAITS: Disciplined, meticulous, charming.

NEGATIVE TRAITS: Short-tempered, workaholic, jaded.

[milcgros]

The silence between them lasted longer than it should have. There was always something coming up that took up her time. Decisions that had to be made with work, with family and what they were supposed to do now, and the cowboys. The time apart allowed her to put as much as she could into perspective. The next step had her in limbo. A decision on what to do next involved both of them, which is part of why they were in this situation now.

They'll figure out what's next but it's the holidays. Mila has come bearing gifs. She didn't arrive as early as she wanted, but her mother's eavesdropping and guessing correctly who she was going to see delayed that.

Mila made her way over to Edgar, her free hand pulling the chair out to sit as the other place the bag on the table. ❝ Your number one fan, ❞ her mother, ❝ almost hijacked our little get together, ❞ she teases, the corner of her lips turned upwards. There is a part of her that believes there is some truth to it. Either way, she wanted to start off light-hearted to leave less room for any awkwardness on her part.

❝ It's from my mom, ❞ she continued, ❝ — and me, I got it awhile ago and hid it at her place. ❞ As much as she loves opening present, she found more joy in giving gifs. She knew he'd at least see her telltale sign or just give it to him early. Hiding it at the farm was best, she even forgot about it until the move to the Oceanview Apartments.

Edgar was superstitious enough to believe in the necessity of traditions. So, even though he hadn't seen or spoken to his estranged wife in weeks, the closer it got to New Years, the more apparent it became that Edgar would have to reach out. It was that or run the risk of tipping the scales so far to one side that he'd never recover, but with how much bad luck the Fortiers had experienced recently (or bad karma they'd accrued, more likely) Edgar wasn't sure he was willing to risk it.

In the spirit of old traditions and new resolutions, he'd invited his wife out for what he hoped would be a relatively relaxed evening out. Edgar couldn't be sure that she'd show though. So, as he waited, he thumbed through his phone and began to mentally comprise a list of all the things he needed to do -- manage the winery, figure out the direction of his marriage, look into the information Joel had shared. Edgar sat back in the chair and sighed. It was going to be a busy year, he already knew.

if you’re hearing SINNERMAN by NINA SIMONE playing, you have to know EDGAR YANG (HE/HIM; CISGENDER MAN) is near by! the 37 year old has been in denver for, like, TWELVE YEARS. they’re known to be quite ARROGANT, but being ADAPTIVE seems to balance that out. or maybe it’s the fact that they resemble LEWIS TAN. personally, i’d love to know more about them seeing as how they’ve got those LOOSEN NECK TIES, TATTOOS, and WINE STAINED LIPS vibes. and maybe i’ll get my chance if i hang out around the CHERRY CREEK long enough!

details: (tw child abuse)

Edgar waas born in Avignon, France into wealth. The Fortier family were well known in the wine business and had been for generations. As with his father before him, Edgar was raised to know the business from the inside out as he would one day inherit it.

Xavier Fortier was not the kind of father a child could love and often found fault in everything Edgar did.

Needless to say, Edgar moved away the first chance he could. At 18, he moved to the states to live with his mother's family. Here, he attended college and begin to build the network connections that would later come in handy when establishing his business.

During his 20s, the business focused on providing security for lesser known celebrities and those of a social class who could afford it.

It was also around this time that he met his spouse. Edgar hadn't been looking for a serious relationship, so he was really caught off guard, but after having separated himself from his family, this person became his entire world. They married, and soon, talks turned towards having children.

Though Edgar felt fulfilled in his personal life, he never felt fulfilled professionally. It was because of this that his marriage began to fall apart. In an attempt to fix things, Edgar brought in a business whom he trusted to take the lead in expanding the company towards building and installing home security systems so that their client base could expand. At the same time, the family made the decision to move to Denver, Colorado hoping that being closer to his spouse's family would take some of the strain off of their marriage.

Twelve years later, Edgar's marriage has ended in divorce and he finds himself feeling stagnant. He and his ex have come to terms with co-parenting, and he and his business partner have established a flow to the business, but somehow, something still feels missing. As he draws closer to 40, Edgar can't help but find himself wondering if there's more to life.

This was extremely helpful throughout his boxing career. Edgar was known for being cold, calculated, each punch perfectly placed. It was nearly a surprise when he retired just a handful of years into his professional career. He converted all of that energy into serving the Liddell's, taking care of their less than savory businesses and making sure that no one attempts to take advantage of the family. It's messy work, but someone has to do it.
