OOC Notes - Luke's past
Feb. 15th, 2014 06:46 pmLuke's father, Crimson fon Fabre, was a politician in Telluride, a medium sided city south of LA. Two years ago, a kaiju attack had far more fatalities than there should have been and it was discovered that Fabre had been funneling federal and state funds to a contract company that was not trying very hard to fulfill their duties. He did all of this in exchange for 'gifts' that seriously benefited Fabre's family and private businesses. Basically, Telluride should have been prepared but wasn't, both the city disaster planning and the public shelters were improperly handled and thousands died unnecessarily with millions in damages, not to mention the ensuing weeks of clean up and power outages going on too long.
When it all came out, Fabre and his family were dragged very publicly through the mud. The trial took a bit over a year, and while Luke's father was by far the focus, Luke's own exploits as a ridiculous rich brat with no connection to reality also made more than a few news appearances. Namely accusations of drug use, underage drinking, and definitely the time he crashed a brand new Porsche.
About six months ago, Luke's father was murdered by a yet undiscovered assailant, after it became obvious that he wasn't going to see a day in jail despite his crimes. The media portrayed people as being pretty fucking pleased by this.
This is all public info, so it is up to you if you want your character to know who Luke is, what his father did, what his family's reputation is, and so on. Most people would probably know the name Fabre while only people who were really paying attention to the news at the time would recognize him as his father's son. He was definitely on TV several times, albeit he had really long red hair at the time.
No one is obligated to have their character know! Like it was a big deal where they were but you'd still have be paying some attention to American politics, and it's been mostly out of the news for the last year or so. But if you DO want them to know and also hate Luke's guts cuz of his father and his reputation, that's fine too ;D
You can also ask questions or whatever here /o/
