 With the help of TM, Seymour and Miriam, Bae essentially strong-armed his way into taking control of the club. The run-down building had been used as a front for the local mafia, before TM made short work of them. Straight away, Bae set about renovating the club and making it a proper tourist attraction, hosting strip shows and nightly entertainment. Bae got into contact with [[Jack]], who he'd befriended years prior, and took his advice on how to build the club - renamed the Caramel Carnivale - into a legitimate establishment. Bae became the day manager, running the bar, stripping and encouraging sex between patrons and staff, while TM acted as the night manager and ran a BDSM dungeon in the basement. Bae also started hiring, keeping his own wages low in favor of treating his workers well, and he reached out to anyone who was also downtrodden by society or otherwise in a shitty situation. As the Carnivale expanded, he hired [[Thomas]] and [[Karma]], both of whom would become mainstays of the club.
-Things changed when a small portal to Ultra Space spat out a Nihilego called [[Quimper]], who Bae befriended on the spot and hired. Quimper was kind, inquisitive and curious, but the Nihilego was also a sign of things to come.

 As the Carnivale flourished, Bae developed a reputation for his eccentric behavior, pulling stunts wherever possible. His club was a never-ending party, full of light, sex and loud music, and customers were sure to go home feeling as overwhelmed as they were rewarded. Bae also gave the Carnivale entry passes and yearly memberships (quite like the payment schemes used by aquariums), which more than doubled his income and let him give his workers good wages. After years of struggling, it felt like everything in Bae's life was going right, which is why the universe decided to open an alien hell portal over his roof.

 ===Early Life===
-Born ''Simon Coleridge'', Bae in a wealthy Connecticut suburb. Both his parents were mathematicians; his mother had just retired after a long tenure at the University of California. His father transferred into data analytics and began working for technology companies, helping build the framework of what would later become targeted online advertising. His parents were very strict on him and his two siblings, and enrolled them in private school, where Bae was the only one who did not excel. Bae started growing more and more disillusioned with academics, as well as the idea of 'high-class society' as a whole, finding gentrification to be exploitative and finding that even the people at the ''top'' were still unhappy. Bae could never meet his parent's expectations, and he resented becoming like them, believing that they had lost track of their emotions because of their desire to stay 'on top'.

 The young Simipour rebelled against his parents, slipping in school and spending more of his time at parties and frat houses. At his parent's insistence, he crammed mercilessly for the SATs and excelled at them, getting into a preferred Connecticut college. Bae found the school filled with ingenuine go-getters just like his parents, and he hated it there, dropping out of college after only two months. In the years prior, he had been getting into worse and worse arguments with his family, and his parents considered this the last straw. They kicked him out of the house, and, as he was of legal age, cut ties with him.

 The Carnivale became a subject of global intrigue when an Ultra Space portal, larger than any recorded, burst open in the sky above the building. The massive, swirling vortex crackled with reddish-green fire and spat out squishy gobs of color-changing flesh, along with a flurry of Nihilego and other, scattered Ultra Beasts. It was a perpetual hurricane at the Carnivale's doorstop, dispensing aliens like candy and sending them out into the world. Bae, naturally, threw himself into the fray. He offered sanctuary (and employment) to any Ultra Beast who wanted it, and offered to acquaint them with the new world they found themselves in. The Carnivale's reputation as a tourist attraction skyrocketed, as new guests began flocking in from all across the U.S. to see the beasts, the club, and its eccentric owner. After a brief conflict involving [[Svetlana]] and the Russian foreign intelligence service, things calmed down, and Bae was appointed as Ultra Space's unofficial liaison due to his years' worth of experience with the creatures. With a host of new friends, and all the money he could ask for, Bae went completely balls to the wall with his adventures.

 ''Sean 'Bae' Cody'' is the deuteragonist of [[Coda]]'s stories and a constant instigator of drama at Cafe Plaisir. This eccentric Simipour runs the ''Caramel Carnivale,'' a Louisiana strip club rivalling Cafe Plaisir, and he delights in leaving chaos and confusion in his wake. Bae tears through life like a coke-addled, sex-addicted Rob Zombie, constantly orchestrating schemes and plots that let him skirt the line between 'party boy' and 'domestic terrorist'. Beyond his frat boy exterior, Bae is a high-functioning sociopath who uses a smokescreen of glitter to get whatever he wants.
-Bae goes out of his way to hire people in bad situations, including [[Thomas]] and [[Karma]], before recommending them to Cafe Plaisir. He and [[Jack]] have a terse friendship, and he has recently been trying to expand his brand of candy-coated influence towards the ''Fleur du Flamme'' as well. He's become close friends with [[Margrave]] and developed feelings for him, something he is still struggling with. Not that he has the chance to focus on relationships! Ever since an alien hell portal opened above the Carnivale, the chaos in Bae's life has amped up even further, especially now that Bae has become the main liaison between Ultra Space and the rest of the world.

 Bae genuinely cares about helping others, but at the same time, he's a danger to those around him. At least he pulls it all off with a smile.

 Separated from his family, Bae embraced his rebellious persona, taking on a fake name (Sean Cody) and a nickname (Bae). The latter eventually stuck. Seeking to distance himself even further, Bae adapted a faux-Southern accent and left Connecticut, couch-surfing between the houses of his high school friends and their acquaintances. He started drinking heavily, realizing that if people saw him as a frat boy, they would never expect him to be anything else. This seemed to work for a time, the only problem being that Bae could never hold a steady job - few places wanted to employ him for anything other than manual labor, and new employers were quick to throw their newest worker under the bus. Bae ended up in debt, unable to afford rent, and was eventually thrown out on the street.
 Bae spent two years as a homeless drifter. He traveled from city to city, swapping between hostels, trying to find ''some'' place to settle down, but nothing worked. He saw friends die from gang warfare, drug abuse and alcoholism. Feeling like he'd hit rock bottom, Bae cultivated a deep, burning hatred, cursing all of those who hadn't helped him and who had tried to kick him while he was down. If no one was going to help him, he believed, he had to claw his way back up.

+It was in this state that Bae encountered [[TM]], still active as the serial killer named ''Toymaker.'' Bae was being mugged by a group of Dark Strays; TM killed them on the spot. TM was fascinated by Bae, as the Simipour wasn't afraid and even started a conversation with him. The pair ended up talking at length about their hopes, fears and insecurities, where Bae cursed his inadequacy and vowed to create a better life for himself and people like him. The pair bonded over their shared anger towards society, and Bae suggested that TM find another outlet for his pent-up frustrations, encouraging the Zoroark to start doing BDSM. This ''worked,'' and the pair became life-long friends.
