OCtober Challenge Day 9 - Dapper

"Boss, you really should actually invest in a clip on tie for these events."

"'m not gonna invest anymore inta my look than this fer somethin so small. Ya know how expensive it is ta get clothes that not only fit but have magnetic buttons?"

"You can't afford a clip on tie is what you're saying?"

"I am sayin, that whatever it's worth is more than i care ta pay at this point. I don't wanna be at this damn event in the first place why the hell would I spent more fer it?"

Ottavio sighed in response to his boss. Neither of them really getting and progress with the other. But before he could continue Tyr does instead.

"Why d'ya care if 'm all that dapper anyway? I already paid mammon ta illusion it so 'm not seen tonight."

"Boss you did what?"

Instead of answering Tyr just walked faster.

"Sir?!"

Tyr fucking hates stuffy events so god damn much he just pays mammon to make it so he doesn't have to interact with people that night.

Then he just spends the night drinking and enjoying the food without most people even knowing he's there, other than his own men. Ottavio, fucking hates this fact.

A gift, for you, Tyr. Please enjoy. :3

Tyr: Then why's it say it right here? Ottavio: Boss. Tyr: Don't got an answer for me do ya? Ottavio: I don't have time for this.

Ottavio, Bluebird, and his beloved Vespa + sidecar. It’s his favourite colour :)

I had to trace most of the Vespa, I’m really bad at technical drawings…

Character profile

I've managed to translate my rambles into something comprehensible, so have Ottavio's character profile! Since he's a canon character, I kept the basic information to what I found on wiki and just fleshed out his character with the few scraps the entry has begrudgingly gifted me.

Ottavio

Name: Ottavio

Job: Cloud Officer of the Varia

Age: 39

Flame type: Cloud (active)

Nationality: Italian

Appearance

Ottavio has lightly tousled, fair hair and wears glasses. He has a thin face and wears the customary Varia coat.

Personality

I’m basing my Ottavio on the three facts wiki has given me which are he is smart, deceptive and a smooth talker. Also, this personality breakdown is based on Chief’s opinion of Ottavio, so keep that in mind.

Looking in from the outside Ottavio seems like a decent guy; he’s competent, thinks quick on his feet, smiles a lot, doesn’t look nearly as crazy as the other Executives.

Which was one of the first things that tipped Chief off. He’s too perfect, too normal. There’s no way in hell a Varia veteran just walks around smelling like daisies, pretending to not have any skeletons in his closet. This is Varia we’re talking about. The skeleton in your closet is your best friend, you have known it for years, called it Steve and are weirdly attached to it.

Ottavio’s nice guy routine raises all of Chief’s hackles, because this man acts like one of the old farts at the Iron Fort, who politic their way through life and shoot their enemies in the back room so they don’t get any blood on their heirloom carpet.

He’s a liar, constantly wearing a façade, never showing his true intentions. And Chief hates it. He can’t stand liars; he’d prefers outright madness instead of always being left second guessing someone's motives. His instincts never stop screaming at him when Ottavio’s in his vicinity and it’s driving him up the wall. It doesn't help that his inner Cloud can’t stand the perceived competition since Ottavio has the strongest Cloud Flames in Varia territory.

Conclusion: Chief hates Ottavio’s guts. The level of contempt he feels for the other Cloud is bordering on irrational but the more he’s forced to interact with him, the more he realizes that this guy? Has a whole graveyard in his closet.

Now, there are several reasons why Ottavio is still sticking around and hasn’t been incinerated by Xanxus for being a lying piece of shit.

Arrogance: Ottavio doesn’t perceive Chief as much of a threat. While Chief’s position as Head of Housekeeping technically makes them equals in the Varia hierarchy, he’s still a non-combatant. Therefore Ottavio tends to let his guard down when he’s interacting with him. This is based on his belief that he can always get rid of Chief later if the worst-case scenario occurs (aka Chief finds out he’s a traitor). But Ottavio doesn’t have that assurance with Xanxus and the other Officers, which means he’s way more cautious with his behaviour around them.

Acting ability: Ottavio is an excellent liar and knows how to play the game. He’s good at finding the right words, adding just enough flattery to be charming but not enough to be suck-up. He plays his cards close to his chest and he has a way to sway other people’s opinion in his favour.

Unfortunately, Chief alone doesn’t have enough sway to get rid of the Cloud Officer, even though he knows something is fishy is going on. Here’s why:

Connections: Ottavio’s from the old crowd. As former second in Command of the Varia, he still has a lot of support not only from older Varia members - Assassin and Housekeeping alike - but also from the main Family itself. Hence, he’s got a lot of influence and big names (such as Nono himself) to back him up, which makes simply disappearing him quite a difficult affair.

Competence: Ottavio is Varia Quality and has been for years. He knows his division like the back of his hand, his mission record is spotless, and his paperwork game is only outdone by Squalo and Chief himself. So, sacking him based on a ‘bad feeling’ is sadly not going to work (Chief is very salty about that).

This all adds up to Chief being stuck with a traitorous colleague, which is nearly as bad for his blood pressure as Dave's constant pranks. The only thing he can really do is warn his subordinates about the rat in their midst. It doesn’t help that Ottavio constantly undermines him, messes with his employees and just generally doesn’t value Housekeeping at all.

Well, that was my try to give this random filler character an actual personality. Like always, if you have questions or comments about this, my OCs or worldbuilding, just give me scream at me via asks.

Intervista a Ottavio Lucarelli

[neko-mama]

[prettiwaves]

Luckily Waverly’s villa hadn’t taken more damage than the power outage and she and Ottavio were set to move back in. She wandered the Tulach House until she found the familiar face and poked his side. “Otty, time to go home.” She hummed, crossing her arms and smirking at the other. “What have you been up to anyways? I feel like I haven’t seen you in ages. Tell me what’s new in your princely life.”

random aside but Ottavio PROBABLY murders Grelod after spending his childhood under her care. the sole reason he doesn't get recruited by the DB is bc Astrid legit just can't kidnap him. she's tried. she's tried so hard. but this vampire motherfucker doesn't sleep and he's paranoid 24/7 and ready to throw down so she just. can't get him.
