NAME: Raphael Fontaine
AGE: 34
BIRTHDAY: March 9th
HEIGHT: 5'9"
EYES: Brown
HAIR: Dark brown.
MARITAL STATUS: Single
TITLE: N/A
CLASS: Lower class.
FAMILY: Father- Evan Barnes [deceased]; Mother- Clara Fontaine [deceased]
PERSONALITY: Usually quiet and reserved because he's often stuck in his own head, Raphael is constantly observing his surroundings. He likes to believe he can see the beauty in places other people cannot. He's quick to crack a smile when he finds something of amusement, and will easily carry on a conversation when spoken to. Still, he can become annoyed or even angry when he loses inspiration for his art, and it's something he's been struggling with a lot lately.
FASHION: Very simple and practical. He's fortunate to have at least one suit that doesn't have paint splotches on it.
BACKGROUND:
- Raphael was born to an English painter and a French dancer. Evan had been traveling when he met Clara and immediately fell in love, turning her into his muse. He painted frantically, happily as the inspiration came easily to him. He was able to sell his artwork and provide her with a comfortable life. After being with each other for three years and never marrying, Clara gave birth to Raphael.
- They were a small, happy family, and his father taught him how to paint. Raph took to it like a duck to water, proclaiming that he would become as good a painter as his father when he grew up.
- Evan passed away unexpectedly when Raphael was seventeen, and he had to take on odd jobs to ensure his mother was taken care of. Still, he painted whenever he could, selling his work in order to make ends meet. When Clara soon passed on as well, he was left alone with but a simple dream in his heart- to travel to London, where his father had been raised. To become just as good as he was.
- His paintings were popular there and he lived comfortably. It was there he met Theresa. He thought she was one of the most beautiful women he had ever seen and desired to paint her. She refused him every time he asked, but did agree to marry him where they were decently happy for at least a year.
- When he wasn't selling enough paintings because he was lacking muse, Theresa started to become annoyed and angry. Raphael was not providing her the life she had demanded, and soon enough left him for a wealthier man.
- Now, he simply paints to make ends meet, and is fearful of losing creativity because "it's just a job" now. He's desperately searching for inspiration and is beginning to lose sight of what he once found beautiful in the world.
