+1 old vampire

[longterm]

Hello! My name is Avis and I'm super excited to bring you Cesare Borgia from The Borgias! He's a failed cardinal from the Renaissance period and is now a vampire who is here to be your over confident, smug vampire dad.

He's a fairly charming gentleman with anger issues, is passionate, ambitious and prefers his enemies barbecued. Although he's pretty relaxed most of the time, there's a constant, quiet violence bubbling under the surface and he can sometimes have sudden, volatile rages: tables get flipped, people get stabbed and it's generally not good for anyone.

He will definitely be nice to you, though, if you are nice to him, and has a surprisingly strong moral fibre at times. It's just a bit skewed.

He loves sex, wine and rock and roll.

He's also running a luxury London hotel called The Angelo. If any vampires need a place to stay, Cesare will gladly give them a suite to stay in for the night. Or longer. But after a while, he's going to start asking for favours in return.

I'm uber pumped to play with all of you! Please don't hesitate to add me on plurk at swagalicious . I love to plot and chat.

Looking forward to interacting more with you all soon!

Hey, Avis! I'm Shea, welcome to the best little game on DW!

I've got three characters here, but right now I think only two are going to be relevant: Evie Frye from Assassin's Creed, whom is also a vampire. She's been around since around 1870, so I'm sure they've run into each other once or twice. Evie's very methodical and level-headed.

And then there's Nancy, from Oliver Twist. She's neck-deep in vampire trouble on the regular. While a witch, she's also a sex worker, and a blood worker- meaning if you want a warm meal, she's your girl. If Cesare's been in town for a while, perhaps they've run into each other by this point? Maybe he's seen her at the Angelo, or even hired her himself?

JUST SOME CR IDEAS TO GET US STARTED. My other character is Annie Cresta from the Hunger Games- she's a human and a hunter.

[longterm]

Hello, Shea! Thank you! I'm so excited!

All of these ideas are glorious! It seems like maybe Nancy and Cesare might have a pretty solid business relationship. While Cesare's been away from the hotel for a while, I like to think that he's keeping an eye on everything now and knows who the regulars are. She probably receives a polite nod and some free drinks while she's waiting at the bar, if not a quiet cheque every so often.

What does Evie get up to? Do you think they might be friends? Colleagues? Enemies? Cesare is very keen on solid logic and people being sensible.

Annie Cresta, you suck. I'm sorry. :|

[stauncherhearted]

Fabulous! He has an offer extended to him regularly, as well. It's up to you if he's ever taken her up on it.

Evie is just back in town after running around for a few years killing people. I MEAN. It depends on Cesare's views on feeding on human and such. She tries not to get too many enemies, because she already has too many of those simply being an Assassin. Right now she's going to be working on getting someone with more pro-human ideals into the Night Council after she went and screwed up that Millicent thing... She tries to remain neutral in public, though.

[longterm]

Excellent!

Cesare is part of the Humans Are Food camp. If Evie is a vegan or whatever then that's fine though. He doesn't get you but that's your choice. Just don't try to stop him from eating his lunch.

[stauncherhearted]

SO LONG AS YOU ARE GETTING CONSENT TO FEED. That's super important to her. She's not here for random attacks on poor civilians. That's her opinion on it all. So I think it's safe to say they're probably some form of old colleagues I suppose? And go from there?

p.s. annie cresta is a saint sorry she hates vampires so much

[longterm]

Ummmmmm.......Ummmmmmmmmmm.......They're consenting to hang out with him? Cesare's human mind control skills are pretty legit. So they're kinda consenting ish maybe? Ish????

Old colleagues sound fun though! They can have drinks together and gossip.

Saints do not hate people. Leave vampires alone. Gosh.

[stauncherhearted]

SIGH.

Human drinks or alcohol drinks?

gosh leave the poor humans alone then.

[longterm]

Why limit yourself to one or the other?

No. They're tasty.

[stauncherhearted]

fair enough.

rude. so rude.

[longterm]

It's a date then!

Bite me. <3

[stauncherhearted]

she'll pass xd

Hello! I'm Chatsy here with Thomas Raith (and Roddy Geiger, but I suspect Thomas is the more relevant one) who is a young vampire (turned 13 years ago) who also enjoys sex, alcohol and rock and roll. He's flirty and his overall survival strategy mostly revolves around being pretty and getting by on his looks. He generally tries to be a good person, but sometimes has difficulties due to his hunger.

Also, if you'd like to add me my plurk is serpentcyborg. I'd add you, but you don't seem to have a friend button.

[longterm]

Hello, Chatsy! Thomas sounds delightful! He seems to have a pretty good strategy. Cesare would be very happy to help him with things on occasion. Vamps helping vamps, plus he's pretty so.

Gosh, that's embarrassing! I've added you. <3

[loveconquersdinosaurs]

I really look forward to them interacting! Thomas will definitely like having someone willing to help out, though if he ever sees Cesare's temper it might make him a bit nervous.

And yay! Thanks!

[longterm]

Tbh Cesare is totally ok with that. He is totally fine with people being spooked by him. c8 c8 c8

Hi Avis! It's always good to see another vampire around here.

I am Saro, sarosaron if you want to add, and I play Natasha Romanoff from the MCU as an ex-KGB assassin and vampire who is trying very hard to go straight, which for the time being means avoiding human blood. Which is terrible, but gets her by. She's trying to avoid vampire politics in London, but somehow failing miserably.

Not sure they'd get along per se, but I could see them having interesting CR.

[longterm]

Hello, Saro! I remember playing with you on the TDM! I enjoyed it a lot!

If Natasha ever wants to go back to drinking humans, Cesare is right here, ready to help. ;D

[outstandingbalance]

Yay! I also enjoyed that.

If you want to be a bad influence... look, I'm just saying most of the people Natasha knows encourage her to be good. It would be fun to have someone on the other side if you're into that.

If not, then I'll still figure out reasons to thread.

[longterm]

I am totally down for that! Cesare is a nice man but not necessarily a good one. He has his own alliances and views and is very happy to encourage other people to align with them. Basically yessss. Come to the darkside.

[outstandingbalance]

Yesss, perfect.

[constantprisoner]

Nice to meet you Avis! I'm Megan and I play Sirius Black here from the Harry Potter series, where he's a shapeshifter. I look forward to playing with you though Sirius doesn't have the highest opinion of vampires

[longterm]

Don't worry. It's ok to be wrong sometimes. Awesome to meet you, Megan! I'm excited to see what fun things we can come up with together!

[dredefulchilde]

Congratulations! I play another old vampire. I love The Borgias and I'm super psyched to play along with Cesare!

I also play a loser who turns into a dog. But. Vampires.

I'm colortheory on Plurk.

[longterm]

Oh gosh! Someone canon familiar!!! You must tell me when I'm OOC. <3

I'm pumped to play with another old vampire. They can drink wine and chat about the old days (if you're down with that. Cesare is down with that).

[emotioneater]

'Sup! Yay for more vampires! I'm Shade and I'm playing Cooper here, a vamp who got turned when he was seventeen back in 1798 and pretty much has had an attitude ever since.

[longterm]

Lovely to meet you!!

Omg. I just saw the gif on your contact page and wow!! That is some attitude! My days! I'm so excited to have Cesare interact with that!!

[emotioneater]

Hopefully they get along! He needs to make more male friends instead of pissing them all off. I shall be tagging in to that post of yours probably at some point tonight.

[longterm]

There's definitely a possibility! Cesare tends to like people that he shouldn't, so it could work out rather well.

Pumped for your tag!! <3

[baisant]

Hello! c: I know you but I will introduce myself anyway -- I'm Teresa and I play Faolan from Juliet Marillier's The Bridei Chronicles (which is kind of obscure so don't worry if you've never heard of it haha), the (newly meta)human head of Hillingdon and Guardian of the Night Council, also a grumpy maker of mistakes. I also play Jean-Claude, from LKH's Anita Blake: Vampire Hunter series, who was recently made Earl of Clerkenwell and who will enjoy hitting on him. He owns a strip club in the city himself, is 600+ years old, very french, very camp, and maybe they know each other? What are your thoughts on previous CR between these two? What would Cesare think of JC for that matter?

[longterm]

Hello! Oh, gosh! This all sounds very fun!!

I am super down for previous CR! Cesare's a Renaissance man. He's definitely not judging. To be honest, he's old enough that they might even have a bit of a past, maybe a weekend (many years ago, as Cesare would repeatedly maintain). Or they can just be colleagues or even old pals. Really, whatever works best for you and what you're looking for in game, I'm down for. <3

To be honest, Cesare's main focus is on how effective Jean-Claude is. If he can get shit done, he can be as camp and French as he likes and will be respected a lot for it. If not, Cesare will think he's all facade, no substance and will not be keen at all.

[reticence]

Jean-Claude was only released from basically being enslaved by his maker (IT IS A LONG STORY) a century ago, but provided it could have happened sometime between then and now, I'd be down c: An attractive man like Cesare? He'd definitely be into it. He wouldn't have been looking for anything serious (that's part of the long story -- he's been there, done that, and ruined his own life, his lover's life, and their collective lover's life in the process, weeps) BUT a casual fling maybe like. 50 years ago or something lmfao? And now they are something more like business partners? Cesare with his hotel, and JC with his (mostly male, this is recycled from canon btw, smh at you JC) strip club?

And oh yeah, JC is definitely... The camp is a facade for sure. There's definitely substance there though. I've set him up to be basically the unpopular vampire in the city for the last century because he's campy and French yes but he's also. More lenient and compassionate than most vampires would be? NOT TO SAY that he cannot step up and hold his own, protect his own, that he wouldn't do whatever was necessary to survive, etc. But he's got a heart under there, bigger than it should be at 600+ years old, and though he is super manipulative and conniving to boot THAT'S mostly why he's so camp. Because it's easier to have people believe that than to know the truth? IF THAT MAKES SENSE HAHA??

[longterm]

That sounds perfect! Sounds like we might have a plan!!!

He sounds really interesting! It seems like Cesare will appreciate and respect him, even if he thinks he's a bit soft at times. <3

[iustitiae]

Hi! I'm Rema and I play Connor! I'm also on plurk at luftballons! I'm looking forward to partying in game.

[longterm]

Hello! I remember playing with you in the TDM! Pumped to play with you! Party every day!
