checkmystacheOh, God. This wasn't going to be a real thing but it's kind of becoming a real thing.
THE OFFICER aka Chastain aka Moustachioed!R aka "AU Grantaire who slept through everything and became that which was despised." Dig? Unable to pin his belief on Enjolras, he bit the bullet (um) and put his faith in Mother France. Although the Grantaire that was never truly died away, he was buried deep within the man who took the name of Chastain and managed a reasonably promising military career. He had largely blocked the memories of what he once was, and all was going reasonably well... Until whispers, words spoken of the barricades recalled him to himself. (Generally figure that the realization began to creep in around March/April of 1834, though this can be toyed with for purposes of play.)
Play can occur at pretty much any point in his timeline. Before or after the realization sets in, whatever seems to be of interest.
Extra-special Crack Edition: Time slips, time cycles, and the man called Chastain (not yet having recalled himself as R) came to face the same barricade behind which he had once fallen into a drunken stupor. Although he didn't quite grasp the connection, it began to click, and he has begun to recall himself.
And a, ah, warning, disclaimer, whatever you like: There are going to be not-so-many attempts to tie this to historical possibility. Speaking mostly in terms of the specific role and duties of the French Guard. Guys, I'm fudging the hell out of that, and it'll probably end up being a mixture of Guard and autres army. Because I'm an awful person? Possibly. But there 'tis, and my apologies to all history that may be trampled.
Sooo, yep. All in all: This is what happens when you put Hadley Fraser in the movie, give him a mustache, and have him kill the students. Goddamn.
