Since Lafayette wouldn't come to America until ten years after this RP takes place, and I don't really know shit about history anyway, I'm just making an OC.  

[hider=Julien LeFebvre (OC)]

Name: Julien Henri Ciel LeFebvre 

Place: In and around the colony of Philadelphia. He's a bit tied down by work and doesn't see much of the other colonies, though he very much likes the idea of adventure.

Bio: Julien is originally from a wealthy family of French immigrants. Tuberculosis ravaged the colony in the summer of 1967, which killed his mother and younger brothers. Only he and his father had the constitution to survive the outbreak, but even they were left weaker than they had been. His father, grieved by the loss of his wife and three of his four sons, took to violent alcoholism and kicked out his only remaining son to have more money to drink with. 
Being nearly eight years old at the time, Julien took a job as a chimney sweep (despite this, even at the time, being illegal) and then an early apprenticeship at a tailor's shop owned by a freed slave. Using this opportunity to improve his poor English, he quickly made a life for himself as a part time street rat, part time working adult. Except, he's by no means an adult. His eleventh birthday is rolling around this next December, and even for his age he looks very young. Despite this, he can handle himself surprisingly well, with the help of some good luck and a little bit of his criminal tendencies.
