Margot Rousseau

[SkyeFuryy]

 

 

 

Margot Rousseau was born the 11th of November 1994 in Paris. 

Through years of hard work, her parents, Marcus & Liliane Rousseau, built Rousseau Security. A company that provided security agents for events, and private individuals from all over the world. By the time Margot was a teen, the family bathed in luxury and riches, offering the best education and opportunities for their daughter. 

Margot was sent to the best schools, met powerful people and grew up travelling the world and learning the languages and cultures around it.

It was inevitable that once Margot finished her Finance Degree, she became CFO for the company.

 

However, the company wasn't solely a security company.

Marcus Rousseau built an empire behind the closed doors of Rousseau Security. The company was only the front. Branches of the company dealt with money laundering and drug import/export logistics, with Margot at the head of it's financial department.

 

Unaware for months that the French police were investigating Marcus Rousseau for embezzlement, the court finally had enough proof and testimonies to freeze the family's accounts and other assets in December of 2020.

Fortunately, the family was prepared for events such as these, and continued to live comfortably for the months that followed. Marcus Rousseau was called to court on different dates, and the family lawyer built a strong case up. The family believed it would all be over soon.

 

 

In an unexpected turn of events, during the night of the 26th Marcus Rousseau got a call, waking him up, from an informant warning him that the French police were on their way to arrest Marcus, and take his wife and daughter in for questioning. From the informants information, it seemed that someone close to the family had snitched on their illegal activities and named Margot as one of the lead financial advisors.

They quickly left their Parisian apartment, and took Margot straight to Paris Charles de Gaulle airport. During the ride, Marcus had called in a favor to an old friend, and within the hour Margot Rousseau was sitting on a private plane flying out of the country. 

The old friend of the family gave Margot a briefcase with some cash, and made a few calls to Los Santos acquaintances to get her set up with a small car.

She landed the morning of the 27th, was told to lay low, and to wait for her fathers' call. 

 

Margot Rousseau is now getting used to living in Los Santos. She is living with limited funds for the first time in her life, and doesn't know a soul.

She expects a call any day from her father, telling her it is safe to come home.

Little does she know, during her time in Los Santos, her father and mother will be arrested and Margot will become a wanted criminal in Europe.

The call she is waiting from her father will never come, and she will have to adjust to the knowledge over time that she is never going home.

Hey @Bakmeel thanks for lending me one of your many supercars while you were attending 17 back-to-back charity events for impoverished children. I really appreciate it, left the keys on the table in the second living room of your $55,000,000 ranch.

[checkky]

Love the IC interactions and the character development I've witnessed thus far!

[Kon]

Margot's new life began on the 27th of September, when she set foot onto American soil at 5:45AM.

She landed in Los Santos, with a small briefcase of belongings, and a handful of cash. She felt anxious and afraid, but nothing about the American way of life really scared her. She was afraid of the wait until she could be reunited comfortably with her parents in Paris. In the meantime, she knew she would have to live in a hotel and only go about with the bare minimum of cash, and strictly no contact with her parents or friends.

 The friends of the family were able to arrange a car for Margot during the flight, much to Margot's relief. However, it was with a sudden and overpowering feeling of grief that she picked up the keys to her new Brioso 300, waiting for her at the marina carpark. 

 

 

After a restless nap, she decided that day to leave her hotel room and visit the city. Never having been somebody to sit back and wait, she was too curious about her surroundings and too energetic to stay cooped in a room all day. She grabbed her coat, her car keys and her phone and drove her Brioso, following the signs to the pier.

That day, she met people who would become main characters in her life story.

 

Margot was at the pier, minding her own business and admiring the yacht which was anchored a few miles offshore when a flamboyantly elegant man came to stand next to her. He was very easy to get along with, and they both chatted that morning about anything and everything. He was sassy and fun and loud.  

 

You always have that one memory that begins with "if I had never met you, none of this would have happened". Craig was that person.

Very quickly, Craig introduced Margot to two very special women. Lola Delavera and Urban Madine. Each of the two women would become very important to Margot. Urban would quickly become Margot's best friend, with whom she continues to share everything, and come to for advice. Lola would be the one to introduce Margot to somebody who would inevitably change everything in Margot's world...

 

 

It was on the her first day in the city that Margot met the masked Devil Man. She was enjoying a conversation with her new found friends at Legion Square when the man rolled up in his yellow Toros, and stepped out of his vehicle in a freshly pressed suit. 

Lola exclaimed and ran to him, before doubling back to try and introduce Margot to him. She kept saying that the masked man was a millionaire, and single. Sceptical, Margot would ignore the man and continue chatting with her friends. 

It was later at the pier that the man in the yellow Toros found the group again. Margot was leaned up against her friend's car, when the masked Devil Man came to stand next to her. With a raised eyebrow, Margot asked the stranger his name, and to remove his mask out of politeness. The man chuckled, told her his name was Mr Devil Man, and the mask was staying on. 

They got talking some, under the watchful eyes of her new friends until they left. And they continued to talk some more alone.

She found the man arrogant, stubborn and stuck-up.

Little did she know, they would become inseperable.

For the next month, Vince and Margot would spend every day together. Getting to know each other, learning about each other. He asked her out on a date that first week, and from there, their feelings only grew towards one another.

As Margot spent time in the city, she got to know a lot of people. Always keeping an ear open, she got to know the different gangs pretty quickly and she also got valuable information along the way.

She took her time, getting to know the gangs and their members. She knew which ones she did not want to join, and in the end her choice revolved around three gangs.

She made a lot of friends and allies during this time, and helped out where she could. She made alliances with gangs such as The Underground, who looked out for her and helped her and treated her like one of their own. A gang's politics played a huge part in her indecisiveness, along with the way they operated and communicated. The choices were difficult.

In the meantime, she spent more and more time with Vince Williams. He did not tell her anything about his business, and she never asked. However, she heard a lot of stories about him and Seth Blackwood. Words such as "cartel" kept coming back to her. She respected his professional life, no matter what it was and how he chose to hide the truth, and continued for a couple of weeks making her own choices for her future and letting Vince disappear to attend to his own affairs.

It was not until Vince and Seth invited her to assist on a meeting that everything began to change. For a week, Margot was invited along but was told to sit in the car at all times. Little by little, as if testing the waters, Vince would tell her a little about his work in small snippets, until she was invited out of the car on a few meetings to listen in.

It was after her third week in Los Santos when things really changed. Vince and Seth took Margot for a car drive. Which was nothing new, they often spent time together driving around. It was when they parked in a secluded spot and turned off the motor did Margot know something was different.

Margot was offered a position with them. 

Margot's choice was made, but to the world she was still unaffiliated. She would turn offers down, telling people she preferred to work alone and help as an outsider. Since Margot had been doing this from the beginning, it was not hard to believe.

 

With her parents and life back in Paris always on her mind, Margot started to worry when after two weeks she still had no updates coming from the family lawyer. 

So, on the last week of October, she decided to reach out to the people who flew her to Los Santos, and requested a flight to Paris. She was worried, and had to get answers herself. 

 

It was a dismal trip, and unexpected to say the least. Little will she tell anyone, Margot finds out on that trip that both her parents are incarcerated for multiple charges, including trafficking and distribution, money laundering, bribery and racketeering.  To name a few. The family lawyer is MIA, although Margot suspects he is either dead or in hiding. Margot's trusty bodyguard, Igor Stepanchikov, has also fled to his home country. 

Ultimately, Margot finds herself on the Europol's Wanted list for similar charges. 

 

After finding out everything she could from her visit, she decided to return to her new safe haven which is Los Santos. Armed with the knowledge that it will be a long time before she can reunite with her parents, she lands determined to make the most of a bad situation.

 

With the new knowledge she has of her parents' incarceration, Margot is back in Los Santos with the mindset that she is stuck there.

However, this time is different, she has Vince now and is determined to make it work.

She now hopes to settle in Los Santos, and make it her home for the next few months until the appeals start to happen in Paris. She also has work now, and will put all her efforts into seeing her professional life flourish. 

How she will grow, she has yet to find out.

This character development is actually insane. Top tier stuff.

THIS is RP.

One cold night in late November, Margot's phone pinged on the bedside table. The digital bedside clock read 3:00. Careful not to wake up Vince, she rolled over softly and grabbed her iFruit pro that was laying on floor next to the bed. 

 

 

It took a moment for Margot to realize what the text was saying and an instant to know she would return. 

 

Margot knew that she could not tell a soul about her departure. Worried that the two people closest to her would try to stop her, she decided against better judgement to just disappear. She kissed Vince ever so gently on the cheek, whispered "I'm sorry" into his ear, and left. Not to be seen for another 4 months. 

 

 

 

It was with a heavy and nervous heart that Margot returned to Los Santos. 

 

She had left everybody behind and now she was back. And she had amends to make. 

 

During her time away, Margot stayed low, destroyed her sim card and went about securing the assets that Interpol had not touched yet.

With her childhood bodyguard, they set off to Russia to search for Ivan Mandovich, the family lawyer that disappeared mid-hearings, taking confidential and dangerous documents with him.   

 

They still had not found Ivan. But four months in, the assets had been secured, and Margot rewrote the encryption and cyber security codes for the mainframe.

She was ready to go home.

 

One person she had to make amends with was Urban. Strong willed and stubborn Urban. She text Urban the day her plane touched down, and asked to meet up. Urban was reluctant, and literally made Margot race after her around the city until finally she agreed to talk. They met at the Casino. 

Urban was mad. And Margot could not blame her. She had left without so much as a text.

It took a lot of explaining and heartfelt apologies, but finally Urban gave over. Saying she would not trust her entirely, but that at least she would forgive her.

        

 

        

 

Eager to prove to those closest to her that she was here to stay this time, and did not plan on leaving again, Margot found herself handing out resumés to companies in the hopes of finding employment. 

Eager to put her experience as a CFO into action, she decided that the next best thing was WeazelNews. Here she could put her skills back to work and write for the newspaper.

Within a week, she was promoted from Junior Writer to Writer, and had begun networking with the elite in the city. 

 

 

 

There was one last person that Margot had to apologize to.

And that was the DevilMan.

The day she saw Vince again, she could tell that she had hurt him badly. He barely looked at her, and said he needed time and space to think. He had not expected Margot to return to the city.

But Margot won't give up that easily, and only time will tell if her efforts to reconquer her DevilMan will succeed.

She is not giving up easily.

They had spent some time together since her return to the city, and she felt the bond growing slowly again. But he was hot and cold, and she couldn't blame him for that. She was going to keep trying, hoping he would see that she was sincere.
