ADRIEN;
"Don't approach me if all you're going to do is talk about my family."
Awake or asleep, ev'ry mem'ry I'll keep
Nothingness. Quiet. Nothing existing the same space as him. That's what he wants sometimes, when the ringing in his ears overwhelms him, when he staring holes in the mirror. Staring for so long his face becomes distorted, his body separate, and almost able to be torn away to reveal who is underneath. Those are the moments Adrien drifts back to, another nightly routine that is far too addicting to him. The ability to disassociate from oneself and to forget the heavy weight he feels on his shoulders. Adrien is melancholy behind closed doors, and perhaps when he doesn't have to perform as a happy and settled member of his royal family. Thankfully, he tells himself, he isn't his cousin and doesn't have much of a magnifying glass on him. At least, since his transition.
Adrien is extremely studious and is known in the art world as a sculptor. He is also known as quiet, intense, tired, and private. He is cordial and kind when need be, but ultimately, likes his space and quiet. He is married to art and it is one of the many ways he is able to communicate, as words are often too hard for him, because vulnerability is a foreign concept. While he keeps his identity barred and locked behind heavy bars, he manages to lift other people's gates open and oftentimes listens to them instead of talk about himself. He is good at that, making others talk while he listens, especially when it comes to his cousin Michel. He is fiercely protective of him and would go to great lengths to help him out with anything, especially since his attack. The same goes for his family, as he has a great special interest in PRIVACY and SAFETY. He thinks the two coincide together.
When Adrien is not sculpting, he can be found lounging in coffee shops, tending to the gardens on the property he lives on, or playing Polo. His favorite horse is a handsome chestnut named Riviera.

Relationships
Michel
His best friend. Someone who has understood Adrien from the beginning, and when walking in on him binding, still accepted him without hesitation. Michel is too pure for this world and Adrien would do anything to protect him. Adrien was Michel's main confidante since his attack and his cousin means the absolute world to him above all. |
Lukas
Adrien's boyfriend that is completely opposite of him. Where he lacks in charisma and boisterousness, Lukas picks up. While Adrien would like to be invisible sometimes, Lukas can't help but love the spotlight. While they would typically turn Adrien off completely, he has found a profound vulnerability in the man and has a soft spot for him. Their tender moments alone keep Adrien tethered to world and makes Adrien resist the urge to not vanish without a trace. |
