february cr meme/bond makr

Looking for a Maker? Or perhaps a Novice to claim for your own? Or do you just want a fun pre-established codependent bond with your fellow youngblood? Look no further!

Welcome to the CR Meme/Bond Makr meme. For anyone who is looking to create bonds by either finding a Maker in their desired court, or for any youngbloods who are looking to give this "being a Maker" thing a try.

Or if you're not looking for a maker and just want to talk CR plans/missed connections in your character's AU past, this is the place.

You can reference the FAQ for any specifics detailing bonds or world details. Just remember to have fun!

AU Character Information

Character: Lydia, Youngblood
Starting Court: Red
AU Age: Mid-20s, 20 years as a vampire
AU History: Well written out version in her info post. BUT, here's the deets.
- Left her mom after her little brother died from Illness (tm)
- Became a street urchin/thief/con artist/eventually a performer and sold her time to men to survive
- Conned the wrong vampire and got scooped up and thrown to the castle
- Ended up with Raphael as her Maker
- Was a gremlin throughout her time in the castle and made a blood bond as a novice (scandalous) with Gojo which she still maintains
- Remains a gremlin as a teacher
General Personality: Basically take a fancy uptight cat and make them humanoid, that's basically her. Also your resident sadomasochist that loves teasing the hell out of people and having several FWBs for funsies because she's Red as fuck, y'all.

Pre-existing & Desired CR

Upcoming Plans: Might add another class onto her plate that revolves around aerial arts, dunno what year I'll make it if anyone has suggestions. Also going to be a prickly hissy cat and a little out of it/not her normal self/totally not upset about both of her novices disappearing and dealing with that loss.
Pre-existing CR: lmfao, she was a pretty well known street urchin/thief/con artist/performer in Red lands so it's very possible to have run into her there. Especially since she, uh, did not change her name or appearance when she got to the castle.
Desired CR: Anythiiiiing? I know, I know. But I love both positive and negative CR with her.

Desired Bond

Seeking: Novices or Youngbloods
Changing Court: N/A
Desired Bond: I love weirdos bonding with other weirdos as is evident from her current blood bond with Gojo. For Novices she tends to take interest in the interesting and different types that she can mold into something terrifying.

AU Character Information

Character: Josuke Higashikata, first season Novice
Starting Court: Silver
AU Age: 19
AU History: See info page for full written out neatly thing, but here's the bullet points:
- Was adopted as a wee bab in the forest by the Higashikata fruit orchard/parlor family in Gold lands
- Has a dislike of Gold due to Gold vampires bullying and threatening to take the orchards due to the family getting "uppity" (they weren't)
- Got taken in a Finding oops
- Bro he's doing his best out here but sucking badly in Blades as he is a fist-fighter type
- HELP HE'S IN SO MANY SHENANIGANS
General Personality: Weirdo that sleeps under his mattress because he likes the weight of it, can measure things accurately by eye, and has an encyclopedia knowledge of flora and fauna. He's a go with the flow kind of guy that grew up on an orchard, mostly, so he's an educated farm boy type.

He's also the type to fight for his friends and those close to him if he needs to, but he's not the type (in AU) to get into a fight for no reason. Even if he's in the Fight Club, don't ask.

Pre-existing & Desired CR

Upcoming Plans: Probably confused as hell about Yasuho (his... his former???? girlfriend before they came to the castle) avoiding him once he finds out she's here still. And also getting his relationships wrangled properly and learning more about himself than he's ever wanted or meant to.

Also probably going to have him start some kind of insect caring thing or another, probably with fighting beetles, THANKS TO HIS ADOPTED BROTHER JOBIN, LMFAO.
Pre-existing CR: It's not a secret that he was part of the Higashikata family who are/were pretty famous in merchant circles and especially in Gold corners! He was always the weird son but the family themselves are very polite, if not weird, and nice people with fair deals.
Desired CR: Aaaaanything? But bros (with or without benefits lmfao) would be really cool. Or people to help him with his Blades class problem. Or fellow nerds.

Desired Bond

Seeking: PLEASE GOD GIVE HIM A MAKER that isn't a trashcan like his NPC one who isn't neglectful, mind, but just doesn't care beyond the bare basics. Alternatively planned out blood bonds once they're both vampires with novices is cool.
Changing Court: N/A, staying Silver
Desired Bond: I'm down for whatever, but if anyone wants a weirdo to mess with, he's the best for that. Or just being extremely confused about why he doesn't use his natural abilities more than he already does or push him towards specific goals. Man's just kind of floating.

Etc.: Enjoy Josuke and one of his adopted siblings lmfao

AU Character Information

Character: Father Enrico Pucci, first season Novice
Starting Court: Gold
AU Age: 39, lololol
AU History: - Grew up in a rich family in fantasy!Italy and eventually went on to become a priest in the Catholic Church with the numbers filed off
- Ended up coming to the vampire territory lands to fill in for a missing priest in one of the villages while they found someone permanent before setting off on a mission to help people and spread the Word of God (tm)
- Went about doing good deeds and spreading the word, yadayada
- Ended up in a village during a Finding where the child that was meant to be taken was hidden by him at the behest of the family
- Vampires were none too happy about this and took him instead since he had succeeded in hiding the child
- Oops, thanks, he hates it
General Personality: Unlike his canon counterpart, he is actually a nice and pleasant man for the most part that genuinely wants to spread his religion and help people! Wao, what a concept. But he's also got that deep seated petty sassy gay bitch stereotype going on when it's needed and also isn't really above not holding his tongue when talking about sin or sinners or heathens, in most cases. Or calling someone a dumb bitch when they do something warranting it.

He also enjoys philosophical and religious debates, discussions, and just generally being an out there weirdo. He also might have way too much charisma when he naturally tries, oops.

Pre-existing & Desired CR

Upcoming Plans: Just Pucci trying to settle in and comes to terms with this whole "becoming a vampire" thing since he's none too fond of becoming a Hell Beast, thank you very much. And also coming to terms that literally nothing he was taught about vampires was or is accurate. Welp.
Pre-existing CR: I mean, he was absolutely traveling all over the place doing good deeds and spreading religion stuff, so by all means he could have met anyone at any time before now. The time he's been in these lands is wibbly-wobbly time shenanigans anyway.
Desired CR: ANY???? Though people he can be a sassy petty bitch with is always good as he generally doesn't let that side come out when he can help it. Also people to poke and prod at him to get rid of that whole chastity vow and that being non-heterosexual isn't a bad thing like it was back home/in his religion because, lol, you know how it is. ALSO CORRUPTION IS COOL. Goodness knows he's as easy to corrupt here as he was in canon.

Desired Bond

Seeking: A MAKER WOULD BE COOL. But also Novices doing stupid bonds and/or planning for them later is cool.
Changing Court: Probably not going to change courts, but could be coerced.
Desired Bond: For a Maker I'd love someone that either wants to corrupt and manipulate this idiot or push him towards using his soon-to-be abilities for the betterment of what he's doing. If canon Pucci has taught us anything, is that when this man gets his claws into an idea he will not let go without a fight. And it's the same here.

Lockwood

[personal profile] recklessenough 2024-02-08 09:33 pm (UTC)(link)
AU Character Information

Character Anthony Lockwood Youngblood
Starting Court: Gold
AU Age: Lockwood was 19 when he was turned. He has been a vampire for 50 years
AU History:
  • The only child of very wealthy, old money, titled, land owning human parents.
  • His parents died when he was six years old.
  • Raised by tutors he has always been 'to the manor born'.
  • Took control of his wealth at age 13 and assumed the seat in human government vacated by his late father.
  • Caught the attention of the Gold Court vampire representative to his lands.
  • Marked for vampirehood, his Gold Court Maker began to groom him for the minefield that is vampire politics, however his Maker waited for six years before presenting Lockwood with a White Feather.
  • Lockwood was 19 years old when he was turned.
  • Lockwood has been a vampire for 50 years.
  • He is not permanent faculty at the castle, known more for continuing his education in vampire politics out in the lands.
  • GASP he actually had, and has, a good working relationship with his Maker.
  • A prodigy with a sword, he was already gifted and talented in the area of blade work even before he was brought over.
  • Oddly, given the intimate nature of such things, but Lockwood and his Maker were never lovers. The relationship is a well known little brother/big sister sort of situation.
  • Lockwood is well known as a celibate. Lady Whisperfangs loves to raise this fact whenever Lockwood is around the castle, and enjoys stirring the pot of speculation regarding who might catch Lockwood's eye.

  • General Personality: Lockwood is very outgoing and charismatic. While he is a social, gregarious person, it is also a carefully crafted defense to keep people at a safe distance. His smile is designed to distract, as well as to charm. Though he gives off the impression of being an open book, and often seems to actively court commentary from Lady Whisperfang, he is intensely private when it comes to his genuine emotions.

    Pre-existing & Desired CR

    Upcoming Plans: I think I'm going to start with his Vampire History course. He loaths this course, and I want to see what ridiculous alternatives I can come up with for him to be teaching as a way to provide hooks to make new CR!
    Pre-existing CR: From the TDM threads, he has established history with Xenk Yendar and Leonard McCoy. Though he looks like a novice, Lockwood is something of a mentor to Xenk. McCoy is not as well defined, but safe to say that Lockwood imagines the irascible doctor as also being under his wing. Though he doesn't meddle in McCoy's affairs as much as he does Xenk. Not to say Lockwood isn't ramping up his meddlesome habits!
    Desired CR: I have really been enjoying the idea that though he looks so young, he actually has more than his fair share of youngbloods tucked up under his wing. More friends would be nice as well, characters who are aware of Lockwood's more ruthless machinations when he's out in the lands on government business.


    Desired Bond

    Seeking: Fellow Youngblood
    Desired Bond: This is probably a long shot, but! I would actually be interested in possibly developing a slow burn romantic relationship for him. Maybe something that is polyamorous, given that his primary focus is on politics and the like.
    Permissions Post: Permission's Post and I am also always open to a DM or a p!Plurk to discuss anything!

    Will Graham

    [personal profile] this_ismydesign 2024-02-08 09:45 pm (UTC)(link)
    AU Character Information

    Character: Will Graham Youngblood
    Starting Court: Black
    AU Age: Turned at human age 37. Has been a vampire for 42 years
    AU History:
  • As far as Will can remember he grew up in a single parent household with just his father, his mother left when he was a baby. He has always had an affinity for animals, particularly dogs, and been hopelessly awkward around people. This is due to the nature of his pure empathy, which often caused him to unconsciously adopt the mannerisms and characteristics of the people around him. Between his awkward social skills, his relatively poor upbringing, and his lack of a mother he was always seen and treated as an outsider.

  • Despite often being pushed to the outskirts of society, Will has a genuine heart and grew up with a drive to be a voice for the voiceless. This was expressed in his pursuit of a career with the local sheriffs’ department, and forever collecting stray dogs.

  • Though he had a genuine knack for being able to solve crimes, particularly homicides, his resistance to using his truncheon to subdue violent criminals became a source of contention within the department. Particularly with people who were partnered with him and concerned that his 'understanding' for the criminals would cause him to hesitate at a crucial moment and risk someone getting hurt. There were also whispers and rumors that Will didn't want to risk killing because he might like it too much.

  • In a mutually agreed upon decision Will left the local sheriffs’ department, and applied to work for a network of hunters, which were loosely coordinated across the various regions. He was denied an active field role, but was brought on board as an instructor, often traveling between different lands to help train novice hunters. Though he was not a vampire, at this time, he had a wide range of experience with the various courts (in so much as a human could have experience in the world of vampires) and was an instructor of some renown. This would be when his path initially crossed with his Maker.

  • Though his mind was considered too fragile for consistent field work, Will was occasionally tapped to help hunt down and stop some of the more vicious monsters. He did not enjoy this because it meant he had to crawl inside the psyches of some vicious killers and they often clung on, even when he helped put them down. He was a good hunter and in order to keep leveraging his talents, his immediate supervisor had the bright idea to partner Will with a high ranking vampire. This was intended to help provide Will more access into the courts, while also providing him a staid partner to keep him steady.

  • Will's supervisor did this in good faith. Will's Maker had originally been a member of the Gold Court and on the Council, someone who engendered faith and trust. What was not as widely known was that the vampire had eventually renounced his Gold Court affiliation, and his place on the Council, in order to embrace the Black Court. On the surface he spun some high brow tale to explain the reason he changed, but there were whispers about the true reasons, some saying he did it simply because the pain of the transformation amused him.

  • The connection between Will and his Maker was immediate, electric and like pouring gasoline on a smoldering fire. They brought out the best of the worst in each other, and Will's maker became obsessed with the darkness he could sense in the unstable human. Their relationship was never healthy, and an argument could be made that Will's Maker overstepped himself when he brought Will over to being a vampire. But Will has never expressed regret for his change.

  • As his Maker had completed his transformation to Black Court before he brought Will over, Will has always been Black Court. As a novice and in the first twenty years as a Youngblood, this suited Will fine as he -encouraged by his Maker- embraced his dark hunter instincts. Between them, Will and his Maker went on a killing spree that is still whispered about culminating in a vicious psychological brinksmanship when Will turned against his Maker. The core of Will's psyche, that desperate desire to be a voice for those who have no voice, eventually asserting itself and causing the Youngblood to seek an end to the cycle between himself and his Maker.

  • Ultimately Will pursued the high stakes gamble that was killing his own Maker, driven to the desperate act by the desire to end his own capacity for the atrocities they were committing. Will was prepared not to survive the near impossible act of destroying his own blood, which is perhaps why he was able to commit to the act with enough strength of will that he managed to destroy his Maker and survive. Physically at least.

  • In a rare show of mercy, the weakened and traumatized youngblood was not destroyed for the swath of destruction he and his Maker had left in their wake. Instead for the next twelve years Will was effectively institutionalized until he recovered enough to be able to display genuine remorse for his actions and a desire not to continue to lead that sort of life. Will's remorse and desire not to slide down that slippery slope is genuine, though the monster who relishes hunting and delivering righteous justice is still there under the surface.

  • For the past ten years Will has been assigned to Castle Courtsheart as an instructor. He is kept away from any sort of law enforcement, be it as an instructor or in the field. For the most part he keeps his head down, focuses on his classes and does his best to rein in the monster inside.

  • General Personality: Will's AU personality is pretty much in line with his Season One personality in canon. He is reserved, withdrawn and twitchy doing his utmost to keep his head down and his nose clean. He is not unlike a wounded animal who wants nothing more than to find a quiet hole in which to lick at his injuries.

    He is carrying the weight of guilt and remorse for what he did during the years he and his Maker were playing their games; both together and against one another. This mostly expresses itself through his desire to steer young, starry eyed novices away from the Black Court and to keep people at a safe distance from Will himself.

    Pre-existing & Desired CR

    Upcoming Plans: I front loaded him with plenty of trauma and don't have any plans to deliberately add more difficulty outside what comes up in game wide plots. Will is really focused on his Winter Season Courses at the moment. I would love to do more with his classes!
    Pre-existing CR: Most of the youngbloods in the castle either know Will or at least know of his history. He's still in the kicked puppy phase of his recovery from what happened with his Maker, and while he doesn't have close friends, he flits in and out of social situations as the mood takes him.
    Desired CR: Friends! Let's start with genuine friendly connections and work our way from there.

    AU Character Information

    Character: Accelerator, Novice
    Starting Court: Silver
    AU Name: Yuri
    AU Age: 16
    AU History:
  • From Silver Court lands, abandoned as a child and raised by human researchers (and vampire patrons) as a subject of neurological experiments.
  • Killed some thrall girls as part of said experiments, later met their younger unthralled sister and grew very attached. His first ever found family!
  • Attempted to kill the researchers but lost that fight badly, only killing one of them, getting the sister killed, and winding up severely injured himself. Whoops.
  • Healed shittily by one of the vampire patrons (though he now has a permanent brain injury), who let him kill the researchers as part of the experiment before bringing him to the castle where said research is continuing.
  • This is, in fact, less murder than his canon backstory. So much less.

  • General Personality: He's quiet and aloof, and despite being incredibly intelligent is very humble about it (you can't have an ego if you have no self-worth). At first glance he's very prickly but he does have a soft side buried deeeeeep down. Huge 'responsible older brother/dad energy' crammed into one skinny package. He's no stranger to violence, though since he's lacking his esper ability it isn't his first response to most things. He's observant, analytical and a hard worker, and when he encounters something new he'll want to understand it and will ask questions to make sure that happens.

    Pre-existing & Desired CR

    Upcoming Plans: Settling in and attending classes. Getting used to his new life, including being around vampires and people in general.
    Pre-existing CR: Probably not much? He's been in a Silver lands orphanage for most of his life. Idk his Maker probably did some presentations on his neurological research that involved Accelerator during the symposium back in December where he would've been referred to using medical nomenclature rather than his name. Chances are he was educated on more noble/famous family lines throughout all of the lands, so he could recognize surnames.
    Desired CR: Anything, honestly! He's brand new.

    Desired Bond

    Seeking: Maker
    Changing Court: Gold or Black
    Desired Bond: Looking to move Accelerator into Gold or Black in the long term! The aim here is to get him away from the Silver Court environment of being a test subject for experimentation. I'm very open to either since he fits both of them. What I'm looking for:
  • Someone who can handle Accelerator's personality. While he'll respect and be loyal to someone he likes, he's still an abrasive, self-loathing individual who can be downright callous and violent. I'd feel really bad pairing him up with a softie who gets worn down by how difficult he can be. He can handle difficult people very well, so a Maker with a rough personality is totally fine.
  • Someone who would be okay with either suffering through or mentally blocking Accelerator's brain injury symptoms (headaches, fatigue, dizziness and whatnot) that might come through the bond. For power nerfing reasons he's never going to fully recover, so even as a full vampire the injury (and thus the symptoms) will remain.
  • I'm open to the possibility of smut but in all likelihood this would be familial or platonic.
  • I'm flexible on why someone would want to poach him. Maybe they realize he's in a super toxic environment and want to get him out of there, maybe they see he's got a lot of potential and want him in their Court for selfish reasons. Maybe they do it as a joke because look at him, look at his wet cat energy, this little guy is hilarious. Anything is going to be a step up from Silver for him.
  • Regarding his NPC Maker, I'm flexible on what would happen to him. He plans for failure at any moment so there is a lot of wiggle room, like for a conflict-free scenario he could agree to step back and be content with taking observational notes on Accelerator's notes from the sidelines (and effectively never be mentioned again). He could also be killed for the drama?? We can discuss what would work best.

    AU Character Information

    Character: Yasuho Hirose, 2nd Season Novice
    Starting Court: Gold
    AU Name: N/A
    AU Age: 19
    AU History: Wee lass in Gold territory gets picked out of a crowd by a Gold vampire, time passes, and since the potential's still there she gets wisked off to the Castle. Does great for one season. Suffers immediate recluse breakdown upon seeing perceived ex at the start of second season. UH OH SISTERS-
    General Personality: Yasuho tends to play a very 'straight man' role ala following a trend of logic, and while that might not necessarily be the best plan at Castle Courtheart, it's done well for her so far. Of course, she also has a habit of following trend if she's surrounded by people in that regard, and for that matter tends to close up rather than face a problem that could perhaps be...Awkward.

    cough josuke cough

    That aside she has a fairly big heart for someone going into vampire-dom. Not a massive bleeding one mind, but she likes to be nice first.

    Pre-existing & Desired CR

    Upcoming Plans: It's time to stop hiding!! Fortunately Yasuho's tdm threads actually helped lead into this a smidge, but more than that I'm looking forward to dragging her kicking and screaming into dealing with the Piddly Drama before getting launched into The Horrors.

    Oh and classes, classes too, excited to pick classes,
    Pre-existing CR: HEY GUESS WHO DATED JOSUKE BEFORE COMING HERE. YEAH. Yeah.

    That aside, fellow second seasons will know Yasuho as a quiet, but fairly dilligent novice who does well to keep some level of poise while remaining, ahem, 'kind'. She would have felt at an arms distance, but Eden at minimum now knows why.

    There's also the matter of who her maker likely is, but that's for belllloooooooow.
    Desired CR: All. Silly answer I know, but the fact is when you start out in a game there's not too many other answers to put. Current CR is next to nil. We must change this. Therefore, 'All'- (Though I suppose a worthwhile note is that relationships aren't likely to happen just yet beyond Hopefully Patching Things With Gappy)

    Desired Bond

    Seeking: Maker
    Changing Court: NOPE, STICKIN' TO GOLD HERE
    Desired Bond: This is specifically looking for whoever would have been Yasuho's Maker from the start of her Beginning. Worst case, it's a Mysteryyyyy, but it's nice to have a name or face to reference, even if that face ends up an NPC.

    I figure that while Yasuho was handpicked specifically by a vampire in the court, the task of being her Maker would have been foisted onto someone else anyway, just in case things...didn't work out.

    As it stands! I'm open to developing close CR between her and her maker, though my preference would ultimately lean mentor-student as far as the nature of the CR. Even if the student ends up having to help the mentor out of a mess or two- always fun when that happens after all hehe.

    AU Character Information

    Character: Cotton Cookie, First Season Novice
    Starting Court: Blue
    AU Name: Camelia Cotton (call her grandma it's fine)
    AU Age: 74
    AU History: Granny here was born in the far north, and spent her days in a small close-knit village first as a shepherd of sheep (dangerous! Wolves are no joke), and then as an aging pillar of the community. Helped with cooking, knitting, looking after the kids, etc etc. Close to what she figured was the end of her time, the Lottery came around and HEY GRANDMA WON! So now she's here, and has been here for a month. Wowzers.
    General Personality: Absolute darling. No matter the approach, Cotton responds with kindness and care- she's used to being the grandma to pretty much everyone, and while she's been holding her tongue back on calling any of the youngbloods 'dear' (who knows how many are older than her!), that can't remove her instinct to fuss. Patient as a rock, and about as stable as one too. Must be those long winters spent in cabins with nothing to do.

    Pre-existing & Desired CR

    Upcoming Plans: NONE I am free for...So much, Cotton is very much a muse where I'm just. I need to see what happens when I unleash 'grandma who is possibly okay with you being a murder beast' upon the crowd.
    Pre-existing CR: Naturally the first worthy point of note is that as a first season novice, Cotton will have been here for about a month already. She's very open-minded, so she very likely had a blast learning just about anything she encountered. She's also been knitting. A lot. Feel free to assume your muse's favorite color has been noted down, you're getting Something mark her words.

    That aside here's the fun part; as isolated as she was, there's a slim, slimmmmm window for her to have known in her youth a Youngblood before they were actually turned. She is, after all, 74. So if that's something you're interested in, leave a comment! This will probably be a slot only open to one or two people depending on if the person in question travelled or not so.
    Desired CR: Once again I say 'All', as well, here we are just starting. I'm excited! That said I will warn that immediately negative CR might get a bit stale; it's not that I'm not into it, it's just that Grandma here isn't exactly ah...Argumentive. It'd be a lot of her failing to react is all. (But then again, it could also be fun to have someone have to deal with being perpetually met with kindness at every turn, so hey!)

    Desired Bond

    Seeking: Maker
    Changing Court: PREFERRABLY we stick to Blue, what with Blue being pretty solid as a 'match' on themes- albeit not. Abilities, haha. BUT.

    Cotton's flexible, and ultimately Blue was never set in stone for her; we're trying to find whoever has been Cotton's Maker from the get-go, and if ultimately that person can't be in Blue, then there we go.

    THAT ASIDE I should note in case it's relevant that I am equally fine with an NPC maker situation. It'd just be nice to develop the CR either way.
    Desired Bond: Grandma being Grandma, this is a pretty interesting section. More than likely, you just adopted a Grandmother. But hey, depending on the age, maybe it's more like adopting a Mom?? ...Best friend?

    I feel like there's not much standard procedure for 'the Novice is a septuagenarian'.

    AU Character Information

    Character: Xenk Yendar, Gold Youngblood
    AU Age: Formerly, Xenk Tam
    AU Age: 28 (+30 years as a vampire)
    AU History: Xenk was raised by an old, evil vampire from the Gold Court who enthralled his parents and raised him to be his perfect vampire protege. Only problem was he raised him a little too hard on the rules, so when his Becoming came, Xenk got a bunch of his father's memories and realized oh, my dad is breaking all these rules, so he turned him in to the Council and the Council got him executed for treason! Nice! But anyway you wouldn't really know that because Xenk never talks about his past and the dreams are like. His first time having to go back and deal with his trauma in 30 years so don't worry about it! He's fine. He's a cool evil vampire.
    General Personality: Xenk is Lawful Evil in his heart, he loves power and authority and he believes so firmly in the Gold Court that he'll give you the stink-eye and maybe compel you to punch yourself if you talk too much shit about his court. He wants to be the emblematic vampire in every way, and adheres to the rules with unyielding insistence.

    But then he had all these really awful dreams that reminded him of his AU childhood and his original childhood and now he's kind of?? Worrying about things? Doubting himself? It's bad, you guys. He's going through it this month. And Jim still hasn't changed to Gold :< It's so hard being Xenk Yendar.

    Pre-existing & Desired CR

    Upcoming Plans: Xenk really will be going softer and softer as the weeks go by now. He is conflicted and confused and dealing with it by trying to deny it, but he'll be maybe a little distracted for anyone who pays extra attention. And slowly, ever-so-slowly, getting a little nicer. A little. Like, he'll still unenthrall a thrall to torture his students, but maybe he'll feel guilty about it afterwards? I will probably skip making another class post for him this month, but largely because I just apped Bones, and Bones deserves a class post!
    Pre-existing CR: Xenk has been in Courtsheart for 30 years, so he's an older youngblood and he's deeply entrenched in vampiric politics. Anyone in his age group or older is totally free to assume they know him, know of him, or have heard of his reputation of being way too serious and Into The Rules. Also he has a reputation of being bad at raising novices, oops.
    Desired CR: Always more students to strike the fear of the Founders into. More chances to prove himself to be a cool suave vampire who is hot and attractive. I really do plan on him getting nicer slowly, so it won't be noticeable just yet. But soon... soon he might even make friends.

    AU Character Information

    Character: Norton Campbell, Youngblood
    Starting Court: Blue
    AU Name: Discarded his last name, doesn't currently have a fancy ~vampire alias~
    AU Age: Turned at 25, 10 years a vampire
    AU History: Unashamedly linking my OOC intro because it still applies here.
    General Personality: Same as above.

    Pre-existing & Desired CR

    Upcoming Plans: Like I mentioned in my OOC intro, I'm working on his classes and planning on making him think he should have a vampire name, but other than that, I got nothing chief.
    Pre-existing CR: People from the time he was a novice like old fellow classmates and teachers. He originally declared for the Black Court before switching to Blue, so that could also be a way to know him. Another way to have established CR with him is to have met him during the years he wasn't at the Castle, between him finishing up school and returning to become a teacher-- in which he was hunting down a bunch of very specific humans to murder them.
    Desired CR: Come one, come all!

    Desired Bond

    Seeking: Norton wants more Novices. I want some Youngblood bond action.
    Changing Court: He could help someone switch to Blue.
    Desired Bond: Any, honestly. I don't mind if it's not healthy, because Norton is a fucked up man. Honestly, the more problematic and fucked-up it is, the happier I am-- we like hot messes in this house. R-rated hardcore UST? Yeah, bring it on.

    AU Character Information

    Character: Bruce Wayne, Youngblood
    Starting Court: Black
    AU Name: N/A
    AU Age: 42 y/o at turning, has been undead for 40 years or so
    AU History: Batman's canon as a superhero vigilante remains the same, until he was sired in a battle with his sire. The true story has changed over the decades, but current theory is that he killed his sire and was turned before his death in an act of revenge. Since then, he acts... pretty much the same! He's Batman. He's already had the vampire aesthetic down for a very long time now.
    General Personality: As I said above, he's Batman. Except he doesn't know that, and neither do you. Unless you're a canonmate, I guess? But he is stoic and standoffish, and without the need of a public persona to hide behind, it is often unnecessary for him to dress up his normally cold personality. Still, he has been touched deeply by trauma (of which he is only grasping at the merest hints of remembering), and cares deeply for the lives and well-being of others, despite his Tsundere nature otherwise. If you take the time to push past his comfort zones and really get to know and trust him, he might trust you enough in return to show you this softer side.

    Pre-existing & Desired CR

    Upcoming Plans: None ATM~! Real life has been a little rough right now, so I've been a little MIA the later half of January and early February, but I'm trying to be more around. If you specifically would like to do or plan something, I'd love to chat with you about developing something fun.
    Pre-existing CR: IDK LET ME KNOW. I love handwaved CR. It lets us establish a pre-existing relationship for these characters who have likely been around one another for decades. You could make your own separate meme about this really, but if you think of something that tickles you, please tell me all about it here!
    Desired CR: ANY? ALL? ANY AND ALL?

    Desired Bond

    Seeking: No maker, for reasons mentioned above, but if any Novice wants Batman to be their sire, I'd love to talk about it. He tends to take in sad orphans with grand fantasies of enacting justice and/or being real goth about it. Also love any CR from fellow youngbloods from the same or other courts.
    Desired Bond: Someone looking to better themselves, but also interested in getting to know him better, and stubborn enough to pry through those layers of 'I'm Batman' to get there. If you're a student, he'll be a brutal taskmaster, and as a peer, he'll be an insufferable asshole who you can always count on to have your back.

    Character & AU Information

    Character: Elias Argent, Youngblood
    Starting Court: Silver
    AU Age: Turned at 20, 10 years a vampire
    AU History: A lord’s servant from the Gold Court lands conscripted into Foundling-hood, Elias struggled to live up to his Gold Court Maker’s expectations (too swagless.) and eventually sought sponsorship from Silver Court instead.

    Today, he's a Silver Court teacher, doing his best, getting mad at anyone who abuses the school thralls carelessly because do you know how troublesome it is to replace them!! Thralls don't grow on trees!!!! Also, all you whippersnappers please do your homework. He can’t pass you if you mess around in class.

    General Personality:

    art by subwaymaster@plurk!

    That's it, that's the character. His infopage and app are above if you'd like to read more.

    Pre-existing & Desired CR

    Upcoming Plans: I’m really slow these days so I have lots of CR I want to interact more with, I’m cool with whatever honestly. Oh, and Elias did talk about setting up a betting pool on the TDM over whether Jim Kirk will switch courts or not… maybe that’ll be a thing? I’m unsure.

    Pre-existing CR:
    🦉 Ex-classmates: Elias was a novice 10 years ago, and switched from Gold to Silver Court. Because of this stressful situation he’d probably only have interacted significantly with coursemates from those two Courts, but an extrovert from Red/Blue/Black could still have adopted him! It’s just that if your character is also quiet, it’s likely they were simply classmates that gave each other their space lmao. But I'm happy with that assumed CR too.
    🦉 Coworkers: Youngbloods who teach, feel free to assume that you know of Elias/have seen him around.
    🦉 Know him secondhand through his Ex-Maker: Xenk Yendar is his previous Maker from Gold Court, while his current Maker is a Silver Court NPC not in the castle. Most youngbloods can have some kind of flawed interpretation of Elias’ switch since it’s somewhat unclear whether the breakup was amicable or not. It seems that Xenk and Elias are mending bridges these days, though.

    Desired CR:
    🦉Chaotic coworkers to enable him into shenanigans! They can be pre-established CR, or have only met as teachers.
    🦉 If any Red or Blue Court youngblood wants to make fun of him please do lmao, I keep making jokes that Red thinks he’s a loser and I feel like I should canonize that in a thread someday
    🦉 I'm open to taking future Novices / Youngblood Blood Claims on, but as my RL is a bit spotty at the moment I am concerned about being able to commit…. but if you're interested, let me know! I would prefer for us to also have a few threads first to see if there's chemistry before locking it in.

    Bones and Elias deserve to get up to weird Silver shenanigans. That network betting post is definitely going to happen. Once Whisperfangs comes out (tomorrow) then it'll be general knowledge!!! And the fun can begin...

    Honestly so invested in Xenk and Elias' weird attempts to reconcile, Elias' continued shock and disbelief at Xenk doing anything nice is a true treat, and it's only going to get worse as Xenk gets nicer. I just love that for them!!!

    AU Character Information

    Character: Conrad Achenleck, Youngblood
    Starting Court: Red
    AU Age: 28 at turning, 12 years a vamp
    AU History: Conrad was a Foundling, so his main motivation to become a vampire was to avoid failing so he wouldn't end up as a thrall. His maker showed him no kindness, but he found solace in a mentor who believed in his artistic skill and urged him to become an educator. Now Conrad still clings to his humanity and he's not exactly a trademark Red Court vamp, so some think he doesn't belong where he is.
    General Personality: It was pretty tough for Conrad to adapt to vampirism. He doesn't like having to look at people as food and all his anxieties and insecurities made it hard for him to get used to being a vampire. He can also be rather irritable, but despite having a temper and being prone to making grumpy and sarcastic remarks, he is a genuinely good person. He'll do what he can to aid someone in need. And he's an artsy type, of course. Fashionable, a bit of a hipster, that sort of guy...

    Pre-existing & Desired CR

    Upcoming Plans: IDK Conrad is putting all his focus into his classes and trying to forget about the gnarly nightmare he had that sort of messed him up. Maybe some more comradery with fellow youngbloods will help him get over it. Or having some one-on-one time with students would be great, too. I do really want to work on building more CR and strengthening the relationships he's made so far.
    Pre-existing CR: Conrad's maker is no longer around, she's moved on and wants nothing more to do with him. His mentor was one of his art teachers and is now on sabbatical. Conrad had a blood claim with him and took over some of his art classes when he left. He's probably known by other youngbloods as the Foundling who's not very good at being a Red Court vampire as he almost flunked out.
    Desired CR: Conrad could use some like-minded individuals as friends. Or they can be more than friends, of course. He's the romantic type so he'd definitely pursue a love interest. But a fling is fine, too. Also, less than healthy CR is fine and good. People he can have beefs with, frenemies or antagonistic colleagues, etc. are all welcome.

    Desired Bond

    Seeking: Novice/Fellow Youngblood
    Desired Bond: I'd love for him to have at least one blood claim with someone. Preferably it'd involve romance, but it could be platonic friendship or more of a just physical type of relationship.
    And I want Connie to take on a novice, even if he's not too keen on turning someone. It probably wouldn't be too hard to convince him to be a maker, really, if he's wanted for the job. Said novice would just have to be a good person, in general. He doesn't care if someone would make a good vampire or not because good vampires can be pretty bad people. Conrad would look out for any student who was in danger of failing, too, and would be likely to turn someone who's struggling.

    AU Character Information

    Character: Jisu, Novice
    Starting Court: Silver
    AU Name: Eden Woods
    AU Age: approx. 18
    AU History: Noble family from the North sends their youngest children to hide and live secluded and safe lives when Trouble starts knocking. After the disaster, they only brought some of the children back. Eden remained in the South's giant Red Woods/Crimson Forest/insert name here being raised by a medicine woman that's a doctor but gets called a witch. She pretty much lived an isolated life (save for delivering and picking up goods or doing check ups at the nearest brothels, as it's hard for them to be out for a day,) so at the Finding got thrown into Society real quick. The AU age is approximate because a. she doesn't know when her birthday is and b. it's actually pretty soon-ish anyway.
    General Personality: She's a Pisces /joke. Oh but for real, sweet, direct and eager to help out with things. Eden has trouble picking up jokes or turns of phrases (she's a little better, but it's still an issue,) and is certainly gullible and on the naive side. If you say she'd probably be good at something, she'll pursue it more. Pretty dedicated as well; It's because her maker (Karma) works with thralls, she feels some responsibility towards their care as well. It's in a dutiful kind of way and not exactly sympathetic (the longer injuries are left, the increased odds of infection and more work that goes into fixing it. Things like that.) Also eager to explore and try new things, in many ways, but part of that has led to both a trickster side by going around with a Mask without making it clear who she is until it seems like a good point.
    In the end, she's, uh, poorly socialized and desperately trying to catch up. Eden sometimes says things that are interpreted as her meaning it in a haughty way instead of actually wanting clarification or is simply confused. Eden will also take pretty much every interaction to heart, which isn't always a good thing, but it matches that sincerity thing. Also, very stubborn on accomplishing things, not so much about being against people.

    Pre-existing & Desired CR

    Upcoming Plans: Nnnot so much in the way of plans. A bit more introspective and figuring a whole bunch of things out (like all the medical skills/knowledge she's woken up with and the 'dancing' stuff.)
    Pre-existing CR: For those in their second season, there's a good chance she's in a class (or 3) with you! She, uh, takes more than the required 4, so it's easy to spot her around. She's also taken to volunteering some time in the basement to help out with thrall care (and may for the infirmary as well.) It's easy to spot her in a lot of places as she does a lot of things with herbs and other kinds of ingredients, or out in the courtyard practicing with blades (if you need Blades help, she'll give a hand!) or... dancing? Her Maker is Karma, so there may be connections through there as well.
    With the curse having been spreading, Eden's helped with delivering cures and handling initial first aid to those affected. It's possible she helped with your character, or they saw her at work.
    Desired CR: While Eden is desperate for affection, approval and validation, I'm... Open to all sides of things. She'll never be mean or judgemental towards a player character unless Something happens (though she's more ready to judge NPCs that probably had reasons for getting it,) but it's fine to choose her as someone to pick on. So bring your positive, negative, healthy, toxic, platonic, sexual, etc.

    Also, if you'd like to come up with or adopt information about the noble family she's from, my Game Navigation has 'gossip' sections that you're free to have your character know and elaborate/make up. It's not like all gossip is accurate amirite? That also links to Permissions and everything else.

    AU Character Information

    Character: Harlock, Novice
    Starting Court: Blue
    AU Name: Phantom "Tom" Harlock
    AU Age: 23
    AU History: -Lost parents at young age, fell in with other orphaned/neglected kids and became their leader.
    -quickly went from petty thieves to bandits, attacking rich merchants and tax collectors, gain a bit of notoriety.
    -Caught by the Gold court vampire who threaten to make his friends into Thralls unless he submits to the court
    General Personality: While he's more cautious than his canon self, he doesn't really hide his feelings about things - he isn't a fan of authority or "It's always been like this" type of answers. He is quite honest about how he feels about others, or his situation, he tries to hide when he's particularly upset, feeling like he has to be a tough guy, despite being both touch-starved and missing his friends a lot - and worrying about them.

    However, for all his general honesty, he likes to talk up about how he does this because he doesn't care about authority, but he cares for people a lot more than he will admit. Harlock is also insatiably curious and have a bit of a wanderlust streak. He is a heavy drinker, and actually doesn't mind listening to people, trying not to judge (unless you're an Authority-haver). Harlock also tends to think a lot about the system, and big things.

    Pre-existing & Desired CR

    Upcoming Plans: I'm looking for him to eventually try to make a go at shaking the status quo, but that's not for a long while yet. He's also been bugged about that murder during the blue court ball and hasn't let that go, so he's poking his nose around there.
    Pre-existing CR: He's currently taking classes, so classmates, or maybe someone who is familiar with the human bandit that dared to piss off a Gold Vampire, or been regular drinking buddies.
    Desired CR: People to butt heads with, friendly rivalries, and someone that he can let his guard down and be squishy with.

    AU Character Information

    Character: Karma, Youngblood (She/They)
    Starting Court: Silver
    AU Name: Karma D'Auvergn
    AU Age: 32 years human 20 years a vampire
    AU History: It is known that Karma is part of the prestigious D'Auvergn family and apprentice to Revar, a council member. She is known for being hard in his classes and willing to sleep with just about anyone. But she doesn't make emotional connections often. Her passion is medical science and she is willing to do anything to achieve breakthroughs and teach her students. The setting has definitely lent to her darker side by making her more strict and more lethal and brutal, while still being her flirty self.
    General Personality: In Canon she is a sultry but serious person. Karma is rather down to business when not being flirty and teasing, very goal driven and rarely gets off task. She's cautious around people but when faced with people she cares about, she can be rather soft and gentle with them, different from her usual harsher and no nonsense attitude towards people. Don't cross her though, she holds a grudge and isn't scared to pursue revenge. But she is deeply charismatic (22 CHA baby!) and is a very good liar and very persuasive. Her humor is being cheeky or flirty.

    Pre-existing & Desired CR

    Upcoming Plans: Gonna tag out a little, gonna have her interact with their novice Eden Woods and their former novice Leonard McCoy. Otherwise I am pretty open plans wise!
    Pre-existing CR: I am open to all kinds of preexisting CR! Especially friends, colleagues, friends with benefits. Maker is already taken (Revar) but if someone wants to be a novice of Karma's that's a possibility!
    Desired CR: Anything! I would love for them to have more friends! I would love to have a slow burn polyam/open relationship, since Karma isn't really someone who settles down easily.

    AU Character Information

    Character: Daria Morgendorffer, Youngblood
    Starting Court: Silver
    AU Name: Daria Barksdale
    AU Age: 20 when turned, served 28 years as a vampire
    AU History:
    - Daria was from a rich political family who were abusive to her, deeming her as the unwanted and dull child in comparison to her younger and fairer sister.
    - They kept her locked up in the basement her entire life, feeding her scraps and allowing her to bathe and read. Barely the essentials.
    - She snuck out though and learned skills, eventually befriending a gravedigger and his daughter.
    - The gravedigger father and the daughter were murdered when Daria was thinking she could run away with them, and declare that she had feelings for her. Daria's family didn't want their secret out at no cost. Planned to pin the murder on Daria and sentence her to death herself.
    - Daria snuck rat poison into the celebratory wine as revenge, killed everyone in the home.
    - Daria was aimless and would wander until death and that was when her Maker found her, interested in her for a while.
    General Personality: The only major difference from canon is that Daria leans more into strict moral grey areas (fine with murder/killing if it calls for it, genuinely not caring about people until they earn her respect, etc). Her morbidity is more heavily influenced in her genuine explorations in the biology and study of the dead. As much as she would be sarcastic in her canon about only being comfortable around dead things, most of the time in here...that's actually true. She is cold, calculated, sarcastic, and intelligent. Deeming herself as unlovable and fine with it, but is now learning slowly she doesn't have to be hated anymore.

    Pre-existing & Desired CR

    Upcoming Plans: Daria is going to be very awkwardly inching herself outside of her room and the library for once to interact with others. What this means can be a variety of things.
    Desired CR: She needs friends very badly, or people to tell her they like her or want to mess with her. She's trying to not be so hateful these days.

    >Desired Bond

    Seeking: Novice, Youngblood
    Desired Bond: She needs someone who is like her on a morbid, humor, etc level. She wants to feel like she can completely confide in at least one person

    AU Character Information

    Character: Hazel Lockwood, Novice
    Starting Court: Silver
    AU Age: 19
    AU History: Normal girl who grew up in the Silver lands and was living in one of the larger cities so as to be apprenticed under a master painter. Got jumped by a serial killer coming home one night, nearly murdered, and then saved by a vampire who intentionally poisoned her in order to use "can literally kill you at any time" as leverage to force her into attending vampire academy to further her own vengeful agenda. Hazel's really bitter about all this but what can you do besides play along while looking for a way out?

    General Personality: A damaged young woman with a gremlin streak several miles wide. She's overcompetitive, petty, and stubborn beyond all reasonable stopping points - the kind of person who'd fight a child for candy and then call you the bitch for disapproving. Unfortunately for her she's also very emotionally fragile and has an extremely large heart, making it impossible for her to really live up to the 'disaffected cynic' image she tries to push for herself. She hates seeing people abused and marginalized and will put every cell on the line for someone if she cares about them, and sometimes even if she doesn't. Self-destructive, but it's fine because we play it off as a joke ha ha!!

    Pre-existing & Desired CR

    Upcoming Plans: Hazel (and I) just got here, so I don't have anything in the chamber yet! I waxed poetic about the kind of stuff I'm hoping for on my ooc intro here, which I've linked to save myself retyping the same stuff about five minutes after posting that rofl. In the more general sense I'm just looking to get Hazel settled in, meeting people, and ignoring how much she really really hates the fact she's studying to be an immortal asshole. Normal novice stuff, I'm sure.

    Pre-existing CR: Hazel grew up in a medium-sized city in Silver country and then moved to one of the largest to study painting and the arts under a well known...artist, ffs. Her family isn't wealthy enough to have any sort of preexisting reputation, but your character may have been familiar with her if they were a patron of the bougie things and ever visited studios or if you'd like them to have grown up in the same city.

    Desired CR: Again, please see the linked ooc intro above for me monologuing lovingly about all my cr hopes and dreams lmf. Very similarly to upcoming plans, I'm interested in anything you can throw at me! Hazel's new and has a lot of different facets to her personality so it's not difficult to get her ensnared in pretty much any encounter or stupidity you'd like.

    Desired Bond

    Seeking: Maker
    Changing Court: Blue
    Desired Bond: This won't be immediate, but down the line Hazel will be failing out of Silver and switching to Blue, as mandated by her current (and original) Maker. So in the future she's going to need a Blue Maker! I'd love for it to be someone a little less...ruthless and manipulative than Edith, lmfao, so I figured throwing the line out now to cultivate the relationship before this ever becomes an ic topics would be a good idea. When the time comes Hazel will be looking to leverage the fact Edith really can't stop her from choosing her own Maker this time to seek out somebody that can fully sever her connection with the bitch. If this stuff sounds interesting, you know where to find me!!
    Permissions Post: here! honestly though I'm very flexible, so if you have something you'd like to do just hit me up and we can probably work something out. c:

    AU Character Information

    Character: Lamorak, Novice
    Starting Court: Blue (angling for silver, but will fail)
    AU Age: 30
    AU History:

    • Born of a prominent noble family in Gold Country, you may know him either as a noble son (the second of three) or, well, as the noble of a noble family whose mother got enthralled by Gold vampires as punishment, because his father kept pushing back against the Gold Court in favor of human rights. Tragic.

    • Around the age of 20, Lamorak took off to travel (he was looking for information on her status - alive or dead - or how to perhaps save her from thralldom). He's spent the next ten or so years traveling across the various lands, so he can have been involved in quite a few things in quite a few places. (He's currently 30.)

    • Prior to his enrollment in Courtsheart, Lamorak had a knack with potions et al. (though nothing that could heal), which, per mods, is not regarded positively among humans. Though I'm sure he didn't advertise it, he can't keep his nose out of most people's business, so he may have gained a reputation as a wandering witch.

    General Personality:

    Lamorak is cheerful, whimsical, and never seems to take much seriously - at times he seems an untrustworthy jester, at times he's the wildly obnoxious class clown. It depends on his mood at the moment. Beneath his careless and off-putting veneer, Lamorak cares quite a lot about the people around him - he's just weird and can't express it straightforwardly. Imagine a tsundere but ridiculous. Clowndere. That's him. He also has a bad habit of getting attached to clearly troubled or damaged people, and loves pestering the pricklies. It's his calling to make the worst choices in life and relationships possible.

    Pre-existing & Desired CR

    Pre-existing CR:

    Lamorak is in his second season, so you may have already had him as a classmate or student in his previous season. Additionally, you may know him from his time as a human - either earlier than 10 years ago, when he was still with his fancy Gold family (thinking his dad may have gone to the vamp-worshipping cult in more recent days, thanks mods for the suggestion), or from the past ten years, when he was traveling across the various Lands.

    He's also looking for people who can help him learn more about thralls, and help him find enthralled folk in Gold lands. (He's still looking for his enthralled mother, futile as it is...)

    Desired CR:

    Lamorak is a theatre kid and a pesterer, and overall quite social. Friends and people to pester are always welcome! He loves the friendly folk and the antisocial folk just the same.

    Desired Bond

    Seeking: bad decisions
    Desired Bond:
    • Lamorak isn't making it into Silver court in the end, so OOCly I know he won't need a new Maker, but he sure may consider courting one (given it's a necessary part of changing courts). If you'd like to almost-steal a novice Or be pestered by a novice seeking to swap courts, please do hmu, it'll be fun, maybe you'll get to annoy Norton (Lamorak's current maker) too,

    • Honestly, Blood Claims seem kinda fun in general so I'm down to get involved in them for whatever reason, for whatever bad reason. Lamorak loves fooling around and finding out, so he's very much down to try and regret the consequences of his actions (or not)

    AU Character Information

    Character: Reyson, Novice
    Starting Court: Gold
    AU Name: Reyson Falkenrath
    AU Age: 20
    AU History:
    - youngest son of a noble family in Red Court lands, rather frail
    - family fell upon a rapid decline due to vengeance by a petty vampire culminating in them being falsely accused of having a secret torture dungeon and mostly killed by an angry mob
    General Personality: Very tightly wound and temperamental. He is honorable to a fault and believes in repaying his debts, and also in picking fights that he is not necessarily equipped to finish. He's a kind and gentle person at heart, but [gestures to the circumstances]. He's going through it.

    Pre-existing & Desired CR

    Upcoming Plans:
    -Since the PC in charge of the choir has dropped and Reyson has been pretty vocal about participating in it I want to set the groundwork for him to take over directing once he graduates. Maybe set up a plot for some juicy choir drama, you know these people are down to sabotage a rival to get a good solo.
    - He has some pretty impressive regains, it's been a fun change of pace playing him without the magic bird baggage but the wings alone add so much fun body language. It would be really funny to give him the bird instincts before the wings, though.
    - I keep bringing up secret passages in threads so that's a hobby he has now, going around trying to find more of them.

    Pre-existing CR: It's plausible that anyone from a noble house even outside of Red could have contact with Reyson's family. It's also quite possible that the vampire who arranged for said family to be killed is an NPC tangled up in someone else's backstory, I've been keeping them vague for a reason (Reyson ICly does not know who his enemy actually is, he's investigating)
    Desired CR: Well, in order to fill out the Bingo on that card-

    Desired Bond

    Seeking: Maker
    Changing Court: He could be persuaded into Red.
    Desired Bond: A role model to give him an idea of what kind of vampire he wants to be after he fully turns.

    soooo lamorak is from a gold court noble family of particular power - not sure if they'd have met unless reyson was quite young when they did (lamorak being 10 years older), but! after lamorak's mother got Taken due to political gold court reasons and lamorak left the house not long after, as a mirror to canon somewhat, i do think his father might've fallen into a vamp-worshipping cult. in canon, his contact with malevolent entities led to him doing Bad Things in neighboring countries, so it's very possible that a vamp (i'm down to workshopping an identity with whatever works best for you if you'd like!) handed off an order to lamorak's dad, and his dad is the one who carried out the actual machinations underlying the rumors and mob that did reyson's family in.

    though lamorak wasn't there for this, he did come back home briefly at one point and found his father's records of mucking around in other countries under a vampire's orders, probably, so he may be able to connect A to B if he learns more about reyson. uh, oops! sorry dude, that sucks!

    lmk what you think, nw if you're not vibing with the idea!
