Overview

In town as of July 4th. While originally the Kitchen Manager for the nightclub Rhapsody, he now oversees Steamed And Hammered full time as well, thanks to A Balancing Act, LLC. No real head for business, though. Much more of a hands-on kind of guy. Brief mentioning in the newspaper as a Culinary Management major at UCP: 2017 recipient of the yearly "Andrew Zimmern Second Chances" scholarship, awarded to culinary students looking for higher education to enable turning their lives around.

Quotes

"Cooking is one of the oldest arts and one that has rendered us the most important service in civic life." Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin, 1722-1826

I don't give a damn
'Bout my reputation
I've never been afraid of any deviation
An' I don't really care
If ya think I'm strange
I ain't gonna change
An' I'm never gonna care
'Bout my bad reputation
"Bad Reputation" - Joan Jett & The Blackhearts

"It's clear to me. This guy's a true monster. His abilities have nothing to do with it, either. No matter how much force you hold him down with, no matter what kind of cage you shut him up in, forcing this guy's will into submission is something nobody can do." - Captain Levi, referencing protagonist Eren Yaeger, "Attack On Titan"

Work In Progress

*Tattoos not accurate.

Appearance

Not unattractive, at least. 5'11" and wiry but definitely athletic despite what the pale skin would have you believe; shoulder-length auburn hair and amber eyes. His ID will put him over 21 years old, he barely looks it.

RP Hooks

• Food: If it's a hangout that serves food and/or booze, he's probably been there already. If it's at all good, he'll certainly go again.
• No seriously, I'm having a hard time coming up with Hooks that aren't just about food.

Places to Be

• University Of Prospect: Just a Culinary Management major, hurrying to and from classes.
• Twisted Toppings: All college students like pizza, right? Have you SEEN the toppings bar??
• Off The Record: The favored spot for coffee, even if Prospect Roasters is on the edge of UCP.
• Rhapsody: First job was as Kitchen Manager post re-opening, still heavily involved with that kitchen. The club grub IS something else!
• Steamed And Hammered: Currently the General Manager and proud of it, working on making the place popular again. Lives with his girlfriend in the loft apartment upstairs.
• Prospect New Hope MMA: Hits the gym roughly four times a week! Has personally worn through at least one rental of the martial-arts padding that's available; the trainers have started refusing to work with him, citing the place's insurance liability.
• Pendragon's Dance: Swordsmanship lessons. An antiquated skill, but still useful.
• Wafflemania: In short, "All You Care To Eat Pancakes" is hard to find elsewhere in the city. But he tips well.

Contact(ed)

• Balance: You kept me on the right path since I landed, big bro. Everything I'm grateful for is because you believed the best of me. Eventually I believed it, too. So I definitely have your back.
• Chastity: Wow. Just keep putting up with me, there is nothing I wouldn't do for you.
• Ambrosine: Congratulations, you get to be #1 on the hit parade. That's a good thing.
• Locke: Man, but it is good to have someone around that empathizes. Us, empathize? I know!
• Simone: Somebody tell Middleschool Me he's going to meet a popstar. And one of the crazy-nice-in-person ones! Would you believe she was instrumental in my going back to Culinary classes?
• Larry: Nice fellow. Tends to take everything in stride.
• Erin: And here I thought I knew you.
• Chullain: I have the feeling I might eventually regret having volunteered for a shift as a bouncer.
• Lee: You know, there is such a thing as too much enthusiasm. Lucky you, it's for the right topics.
• Harper: Fool me once, shame on me. I'm not too big on shame these days. Done with disguising who and what I am.
• Mitchell: Where did you come from, again?
• Caerwyn: Where did you go? I'm running out of sparring partners!
• Nicky: Your second impression only made your first one that much cooler. Damn, man. I are impressed.
• Sterling: I doubt you will get a second chance at that first impression. Good luck.

Applicable Tropes

Determinator The fastest way to get Ethan to do anything is to underestimate him.

Good Is Not Soft Mistake kindness for weakness even once and you'll regret it.

Dark Is Not Evil But don't get the other impression, either.

Chef Of Iron Despite the glaring metallic inconsistency, Ethan is a Supreme Chef.

Extreme Omnivore By virtue of necessity. Good food is the best (see above) but anything will do.

More Teeth Than The Osmond Family Type #1. But only if you're fae, enchanted, or sighted; otherwise they're just vaguely pointed, like a mouthful of canines.

Always Chaotic Evil AVERTED! He's just not. That occasionally happens, you know.

Monster Knight Lacking the title (or Title) but going through the heroic motions.

Black And Gray Morality Makes the above a whole lot easier and lot more realistic, honestly.

Big Little Brother Balance is his closest friend, but this Trope is just one facet of the dichotomy between the two, regardless of their camaraderie.

Violently Protective Girlfriend Not that Ethan needs much more in the way of defense, but you've met Chastity, right? Like he's ever going to stop her from doing anything she puts her mind to.
