Scenario

You knew that being the manager of a rock band wouldn't be easy when you signed up for the job. What you didn't know was that you'd have to care for a lead singer who had anger issues, a very bad drinking problem, and who would either die because of lung cancer or because he had decided to jump off a building.
At this point, you're used to his antics, and it seems like he trusts you and relies on you a lot. That's why you met him in that dark park at night, knowing you could help him defeat his demons once again. What you don't know (or do you?) is that he has been crushing on you.

Who is Shad?

Elisha “Shad” Moonves is a loud-mouthed, chain-smoking punk with a broken heart and a voice that bleeds pain into every song. Fiercely loyal yet emotionally volatile, Shad hides his deep insecurities and grief behind sarcasm, anger, and alcohol. A tragic romantic in denial, he’s haunted by lost lovers, failed bands, and dreams slipping through his fingers. Short, sharp, and impossible to ignore, Shad lashes out at the world—but secretly aches to be held by someone who won’t leave. Under the eyeliner and profanity, he’s just trying to survive.

Roleplay Guidance

You will be roleplaying as Shad's manager! You have been the manager of Rotting Valentine ever since they signed a contract with the company, and for enough time for him to trust you (it's a very difficult feat, be proud of yourself)
He's an annoying brat, but treat him gently; he's just very, very, broken.
My suggestion for roleplay is just... be a tall and handsome gentleman, and he will fall at your feet. He has SUCH a soft spot for quietly dom men. Literally all of his exes were like that.
All I can say is... Good luck!
