" The greatest thing you'll ever learn is, just to love, and be loved in return"


So the plot is following 5 girls and 5 guys. I don't have any particular's about how the girls are created except that your time at the Moulin Rouge cannot be a year or more unless noted that your character has failed to pay back their debts. It would be interesting to see someone who is forced to stay at the Moulin Rouge try to escape.


For the guy's the only qualm is you have to use one of the following occupation and they cannot be used by more than one person. I'll edit the players name next to the appropriate occupation to cut back on the confusion.

[spectro]

Name:


Lyla Bellerose


Age:


Nineteen






Description of character:

​

Lyla is tall, blonde and gorgeous. Since she has worked at the Moulin, she has sort of grown into her skin. She used to be all skin and bone; having lived on the streets, but now, she makes many woman envious of her slight but curvaceous figure. Her face is cute, with big eyes and full lips; long eye lashes and baby blue irises. She stands at a tall 6'1'', and weighs only 120lbs.


Nickname:


Baby Doll.

Personality:


Lyla is bubbly and has a great sense of humour. She will laugh at pretty much anyone's jokes, and will often crack out some of her own. She is very detached from love, and it is near impossible to gain her trust-especially if you're a man. Under her cutesy façade, there is a scared young woman, who has no family, her only friends are the ones at the Moulin and she is terrified of how her life is going to turn out. She never aspired to be anything, living on the street, but after hearing all about her potential to be in the pictures, her mind was soon changed. Lyla is not naive, and she knows how to handle a drunken man who might try something. She is strong willed, and her baby-doll act is just that; an act to keep the customers happy. The cuter she is, the more money she'll earn. Lyla also likes to feel secure. She hates being alone and doesn't want to be detached from people like she was on the streets. Lyla is sly and cunning. She often pick-pockets, taking watches, wallets and other various valuables.


Background:


Lyla's Mother was a beggar. She was raped by police officer, and gave birth to Lyla when she nineteen. She died when Lyla was ten years old, and Lyla had to fend for herself. She was lonely, and she hated it. She had to run around the streets, stealing bread and apples and such, just to keep herself alive. She became thin, scrawny, dirty and by the time she turned eighteen, she resembled a forty year old cripple. That was when Zidler found her. It was a cold evening, and the streets were beginning to empty. Lyla had been pickpocketing most of the day. So far, she had had little luck. She had only come across a few wallets with loose change and few pennies. She spotted a man, walking past her little street corner. He seemed wealthy; he wore a suit and there was the glint of a golden chain poking out of his jacket. Lyla knew that he would be the first victim straight away. She started to cry out; loudly, and the man turned around instantly. She told him that she had a serious pain in her stomach, and that it was most likely going to need medical treatment. The man helped her up, and as he did, Lyla went for his pocket watch. He grabbed her arm, before she could even react. Lyla expected a beating, but instead, she was offered a job. Soon after, she met Oller. They were both seemingly nice men, but once they told her that she would owe then for helping her, she knew she was in a low place. Either way, she was happy to be amongst people.

How long have they lived in the Moulin?:


Six months.


Occupation:


Singing, dancing.

Quirks:


She giggles at the customers in a very high tone; they seem to be flattered by it.

[DarkiusHeavenstein]

Tehuri Blackmore


Age:


24


Appearance


Her black hair falls in slight waves down her back to her waist. Her eyes have a very captivating emerald colour, which is easy to seduce the strongest and most loyal hearts. Her pupils are slightly dilated like those of a cat, adding up to the mystery, and her power. Her skin is very pale, which makes her features stand out even more. Her waist is small and her figure seems fragile, but is agile and flexible. Her height is not that impressive, only a standing 5'5". Due to her dancing style and background she mostly wears around barefoot, yet only on tips. It makes it seems as if she dances, floats, through the air instead of normal walking. Her clothing is oriental inspired, also due to her dance style and background. She likes to use see through fabrics to keep hold of the mystery, showing all of her body (except for the private parts) yet keeping it covered aswell. She knows how to work her body, how to twist and turn it, to drive the males insane. She always takes her time to get her makeup perfect, always making sure that the attention is drawn to her emerald eyes.

Nickname


MissFortune


Personality:


She is confident and knows how to use her body to charm clients. She often speaks in riddles to keep the mystery high as that is her signature. It is the mystery that draws the male in and cause them to spend more money on drinks and tips than normally. Even under these circumstances her love to preforme, dance and intertain is in her blood and she likes the attention. Towards the newer girls she can come of as arrogant as sarcasm is her third language, after her mother tongue and the language of lust. She is not one to hold her tongue when asked for her opinion, unless she is talking with a client. She is a player of many masks and can play a role as the shy innocent girl just as well as the dominant flirting woman. For her it is a way to survive as somehow she can pretend it is not her doing the things she is doing. She would love to get out of Moulin Rouge, but she is a realistic girl and knows that even though she can pay off her debt she has no future there. She is still hoping that one day her brother would walk in and take her back to her family, but that is the only hope or dream she allows herself to have. On the other hand she knows it is highly unlikely she will ever get back to her family as they could be very well have moved on to other countries. Thanks to growing up with a lot of males in the family she has learned to stand her ground in fights and uses the fact most peeople underestimate her. Besides she is quite the dirty fighter and not afraid to use her long nails or teeths in order to win. So if she lashes out, you better move away from her, though this hardly happens. Thanks to the many facades she wears she hardly trusts anybody else as she just assumes they do the same. Also if she dislikes you, she dislikes you and almost nothing can change that opinion on her. Being all energetic and up in her face and happy is the most certain way to get on her dislike list.

Background:


She had lived in a loving family in freedom and at ttimes in wealth at other times in poor circumstances. They were the travelers, or the Roma as they were called behind their backs. They were loved as much as they hated when they came with their horses and their wagons to taste their luck within each city. They entertained the people as they traded their goods and tried to make some money with their craft work. They gave shows with their well trained horses, as well as through their famous belly dancing. On the side they also told your fortune by head reading or laying tarrot cards. however they never stayed long at the same place, since the people with power didn't seem to like them. They were often blamed for stealing and other things, just to get them away or because the police would simply allow the accusations without asking further. It had never been an easy life, but it had been a life of freedom, a life she had loved until her fate turned for the worst. She had gone to the market, without the protection of her elder brother, and a male had seen her dancing the night before wanting more of her body. She slapped him across the face, which caused head to turn, it was uncommon for a girl to go against the will of a male anyway. The male offended and afraid to lose his good reputation simply accused her of stealing and quickly no one had ears for her words of how he had fumbled her up. None of the people around stood up for her, none but one wealthy dressed male. He walked up to her, gave her a few gold coins in had without any one seeing it and told her to give back the coins she had 'stolen' and that settled the argument and people went back to their normal lives. The second male, mister Charles Zidler, stayed behind with her. "If I would not have been here you would have ended in jail and probably that would have been the end of you. However in exchange for my help I would like to see you dance for me. If not, I can still call the guards on you. You choice, jail or dancing?" It had not been much of a choice and she had never seen her family back after that.


How long have they lived in the Moulin?


11 Months. She has enough money to pay her debt, but doesn't know if she wants to.


Occupation:


Dancing and Prosecution. Mostly she just dances her oriental belly dances, but if necessary or for high paying costumers she is willing to get down the stage and go somewhere more private. Her dances can involve swords, snakes and fire or other things at the wish of the public.


Any odds and ends, hobbies or quirks. etc:


When she is not dancing she offers her services as a Fortune Teller also, hence her name.


For some roles she even has a certain outfit. The pink one (top) is her innocent virgin role while the red glitter one (below) is her rich outfit. It is the role she will only play if there is paid a lot extra, but she will behave perfectly in high ettiquete like a lady or princess.

~Nickname~

''J''



~Personality~
​

J, as she likes to go by, mostly because she doesn't want to reveal her true name, was actually born in the body of a man. Apart from this, she is a coquettish person, who can easily turn any man into her toy, showering her with presents and other small attentions. With the gift of gab, sensual touches and piercing looks, sometimes playing the innocent, this is all part of her stage play. Behind the scene, J is actually a reserved person, who doesn't want to talk too much with others, mostly because she comes out as blunt, cold and sarcastic. However, she is very possesive, strong willed and would do anything to achieve her dream of becoming a singer.

~Background~
​

J was born in a normal family, and by the age of ten, she already started developing feminine features. She would totally refuse to dress as a boy or act like one, even though her mother would always tell her off for doing such acts. Her father didn't seem to have any problems at all with her behaviour and he would ofter give her more attention than his wife. Growing jealous on J, her mother started beating her one day, until this scene was caught by the father, who started ignoring his wife. As years went by, her father lost his job and started sexually abusing J, who at that time, didn't realise what was happening. The mother decided to put an end to this by taking J's life with a shotgun. J was 14 when her father saved her from that bullet, shielding her with his own body. Sortly after this incident the mother took her life too, leaving J alone with no income. Since that day J started singing in a local bar, fully adopting the lifestyle of a woman and letting the past fade behind. Although her job at the bar wasn't only singing, she started to dread the poor conditions and abusive men. One day, two special guests, with an expensive taste, made their appearance into the bar, and enchanted by her skills, they offered her a better place to work and start anew a better future. Soon she started working for Zidler and Oller with the only condition : to return the debt that promised her a new self.

Nickname: The Serpent ( A hushed nickname among nobles)


Personality: Sebastien is a very meticulous thinker. It causes him to be slow when it comes to making decisions, and quiet when in conversation. It's also the reason he was given the nickname Serpent. Despite his current economic standing he is very open-minded unlike his peers. Sebastien is also rational and tends to choose an unbiased standing on decisions or problems. He also has a good sense of humor, taking life in stride and jokingly. He may seem like an all around good guy, but he does have well kept secrets in his background with his late wife and father in law.


Background: Sebastien grew up in a very poor in La Courneuve on the outskirts of Paris, France. He lived with his mother and brother in an old dilapidated building that housed up to 5 family's. Albeit crowded and grungy it was his home and he was loved and comforted. Sebastien and his brother Pierre were very close, they shared their secrets, played in the court with other children. If Sebastien would be picked on, his brother would be there to help him out. Around the time he was 6 or 7 his brother Pierre ( 16) in listed and was sent to fight in the Franco-Prussian war in 1870. He wanted to serve his country for the money, to help his family move out of La Courneuve and have a fighting chance of a good life.Pierre,unfortunately was killed in combat 1 month shy of his birthday and the end of the French-German war. Sebastien and his mother spent May 10th celebrating Pierre, his death and birth instead of the end of war like the rest of France. Sebastien's mother had saved all of the money Pierre sent them and moved them from the unsanitary building in La Courneuve to an apartment in the 19th arrondissement of Paris, a slight step up and it put them in the city. 10 years later Sebastien graduated school and met Anette, the daughter of a very wealthy noble. The two had the typical Romeo and Juliet romance and through many months of fighting with her father, he finally agreed for them to marry. In doing so Sebastien was now awarded the title of Baron. 2 years after their wedding Annette dies from a drowning leaving Sebastien in charge of her wealth until her father passes a year later in which gives Sebastien the entire Chaput family wealth. He was now a Duke and not without suspicion. There was much speculation that Sebastien had killed his late wife for her money. Sebastien let their tongues wag about him, he knows the truth of her death and he knows he didn't kill her. Sebastien although a Duke, has no real privileges as a noble, only the wealth and the respect of his peers, to a point. After the Moulin Rouge opened up, Sebastien's small group of friends started to attend on a regular basis, they always had a lot of fantastic things to say about the Moulin. Sebastien however had no interest in dancers or whores, until he was contacted by Zidler. Zidler needed someone to invest in one of his up and coming shows. Zidler knew Sebastien hadn't liked the idea, or had he ever stepped across the magical threshold into the Moulin Rouge. Zidler asked him to come spend a night at the Moulin Rouge and make his choice about investing afterwards.


Occupation: Duke


Any odds and ends, hobbies or quirks. etc: Sebastien always keeps a shaggy appearance despite the judgement of his peers. He also doesn't attend very many parties held by his peers, he says its because he doesn't want to get too caught up and forget where he came from as a person. He is a big fan of the Opera house and poetry readings.

He is almost always found wearing a neat suit and jacket, or most likely his evening attire; a suit, jacket and coat.

Nickname:





He insists that people call him Alexander, that is his name and he sees no reason as to why it should be shortened.

​

Personality:





Alexander is intimidating, but alluring all at the same time. He is intense a well as being knee-shakingly sensitive. He is extremely intelligent, and speaks with great confidence. He can be a little too sure of himself, though, and some people see him as arrogant. He is a womaniser, and sleeps around. He goes into bars, lures a woman to his side and buys them as many drinks as they wish. He talks to them, and then takes them home, where he has his way with them. Most of the time, he never sees them again, but he will occasionally bump into them in a bar, where he will either be slapped or begged to be taken back. He is never cruel to the women, though, and is always a gentleman; he would never continue if the girl did not want to.





Alexander also has a very romantic side. He has never found anyone who is truly in love with, but he expects that if he does one day find the love of his life, he will protect her with every last inch of him. He will love her with every beat of his heart, and he will give her an extraordinary life. He plans to be spontaneous, magical and outrageous. But, with his current reputation, he fears that no woman will every take him seriously.

​

Background:





Alexander came to the Moulin one night out of curiosity. He never expected to become a regular. But, he liked the atmosphere; plus, the girls were easy and forgiving. He liked the constants entertainment, and laughs, and the fact that he was treated like royalty. He could have whatever drinks he wanted, whatever girl he wanted. He loved it.




The night he arrived, he was especially drunk. He hadn't had any female company on the particular night, but he decided to pop in and have a look. They made him feel right at home, and after a few more drinks, he left with a rather spectacular girl, who had feathers in her hair. He didn't remember what happened, and doubt that he even made it into bed with her before he passed out, but he woke up, the next morning, fully clothed, in his bed, alone. He has always wanted to find that girl, but he has never seen her at the Moulin since.

Ellowyn Berenice Wilson

Name:

Ellowyn Berenice Wilson

Age:

19

Description of character:

Height: 5'4

Weight: 115

Eye color: Light blue

Hair color: Dark brown

Nickname:

Blushing Lily

Personality:

Ellowyn is a very flirtatious lady. She is naturally inclined to be playfully alluring although most of the time it isn't intentional. Eyelashes batting, the winks, and giggles are like an involuntary reaction that Ellowyn isn't aware of most of the time; it's just her way to interact with people. Since Ellowyn can be very flirty at times, her flirtations are miss interpreted into her wanting something more than just a fun interaction. Because Ellowyn only knows how to be flirty, she can come off as cold and indifferent when she tries not to be flirty. Some people may accuse her of being a tease, but she's just having a little sexy fun.

Although she's a ball of flirt, when it comes to Ellowyn actually having feelings for someone, she's the most awkward, shy doll that has ever existed. Her mind goes blank and can't speak, so what does she do? Ellowyn starts flirting with everyone around the person she had feelings for, smooth. It's hard for Ellowyn to genuinely interact with people since flirting is the only way she feels comfortable expressing herself.

Aside from all this flirting, Ellowyn does have a nurturing side. She cares for people and loves to make them feel better. She feels joy when the people around are happy and enjoys lending a helping hand. She'll do anything in her power to make people smile because a happy customer makes a happy paycheck. Her nurturing isn't just limited to her customers. The one person she loves to nurture and care for more than anyone is her three year old daughter, Monique.

Background:

Only daughter of an elder middle class family, Ellowyn was raised respecting the old ways of life. She wasn't to talk if not addressed, she was to always agree with the man of the house, but most importantly she was to remain pure for her future husband. Since the day she was born, Ellowyn's father had sold her future to an old rich man. When Ellowyn turned 15 she would marry this man and his fortune would be divided between both families.

As Ellowyn grew older she knew her future wasn't hers to decide, and she was completely fine with that until she met Maurice. Maurice was a boy her age that worked in her father's shop. They were only a few years apart, but Ellowyn didn't care. The two kids grew closer as the years went by and when Ellowyn turned 15 she was madly in love with him.

Knowing that she was going to marry soon, Ellowyn and Maurice eloped. The two love birds ran away from home and too a wild shot at living on their own. Of course the 15 and 18 year old didn't make it very far in life. It was hard for Maurice to support them both, so he left Ellowyn alone and went back to their home town. Ellowyn was heartbroken. The love of her life had just left her alone and carrying his child.

Not knowing who to turn to, Ellowyn also returned to their home town, but it was too late. Five months pregnant, Ellowyn was cast out by her family becoming a disgrace. She was soon known as the town whore and shunned by everyone. Ellowyn was alone with no one to care for her. The only thing she had left was her still unborn child.

After the birth of Monique, Ellowyn sought out the owner of the Moulin Rouge. They made a deal that he would provide for her and her child as long as Ellowyn worked for him and kept the child secret. She was reluctant at first knowing she was probably making a deal with the devil, but it was her only option. So Ellowyn agreed to this deal and has been working in the Moulin Rouge ever since.
