au workshop comment/planning?

PLAYER: Sarah #2 (what's up I also play lelouch)
CHARACTER: Shu Itsuki
CANON: Ensemble Stars!


AU NAME: Shu Itsuki (if i can find family i am flexible on this!)
AU AGE: tentatively set at 23!
AU OCCUPATION: Dance instructor/choreographer
BLURB:
- Born in Recolle; happens to be a quarter French on his mother's side
- Both parents worked and was fairly well off, was taken care of by his grandmother for most of his childhood
- Started out with sports because of parents, but he hated it so much mostly because he was a small and scrawny child who was bad at sports and got bullied a lot for it.
- Was inspired to pick up ballet when he watched "The Nutcracker" during his first year of elementary school.
- Actually had a lot of raw talent! Trained in ballet and jazz and was mentored by a prominent figure in the dance community, who basically worked him really really hard in order to send him for competitions and other showcases. He was pretty much a prodigy, all things considered, but he also got used to spending most of his waking hours aside from school in the dance studio.
- Was involved in a lot of performing arts/dance things; his mentor also did freelance work and that's how he met Nazuna Nito ([personal profile] pronounces) for the first time while on a job together
- His mentor sent him for competitions both locally and abroad and he became a pretty big name in the local dance community due to how consistent his performances were and how his technical scores were usually perfect.
- Graduated from a performing arts high school and moved into being a professional dancer full-time. Or regular high school, I'm flexible on this I guess
- Got into a pretty terrible accident during competition season from a really bad stage mishap (hip alignment injury, several broken bones, torn muscles) and left Recolle for about three years to recover + intense physical therapy. Completely disappeared from the dance and competition scene without a word.
- Will never really be able to dance the way he did before; the physical therapy allowed him to continue, but he can't do his nine hour days in the studio anymore, so that necessitated a career change
- Switched to a focus on choreography/performance direction instead; has a small but growing portfolio of video and stage credits which he started while he was still recovering (example: this and this because I'm trash)
- Only recently moved back to Recolle now that he's about 95% recovered! Has a day (evening, really) job teaching classes at the dance studio, whatever its name is now I guess and also trains the university's dance team during competition season. Current students include Anya ([personal profile] constellates), Dave ([personal profile] parodeity) and Amanda ([personal profile] broomdance) and Li-na ([personal profile] invocate), maybe more?
- Is also taking online classes for a diploma in fashion merchandising and design. He knows his career as a dancer is short lived as heck, so this is a back-up option.

LOOKING FOR:
???? anything and everything??? students??? people who would have danced with him for projects and videos? would have known him before he pulled a "four years no call" and disappeared off the face of the earth? people in the entertainment industry possibly? give me anything and everything I WILL MAKE STUFF HAPPEN POINTS AT EYES POINTS AT YOU I know some people have already like. hit me up on the workshop last month and I haven't forgotten!! but he's definitely coming this month so like, yeah. give me stuff. he's about 1000% nicer than his canon counterpart I'm not exaggerating
