đđđđ đđđđ David, childe and sire, leader of the Lost Boys, always looking for his Wendy ( maybe a Wendel? Love is Love, baby ) , hungry to fill the hole in his heart where nothing beats. Born out of Movie, Musical & Thought. He will may not be mourned but he will never be forgotten.
Considerations: the moon, fighting shadows, the hopeless romantic, monstrosity, cruel protection, bleeding hearts, love is not everything, the grind of years, belonging, gripping so hard things break, bluebeard, solace in music, the gothic lover, the dangers of escapism, the lonely monster, self-destruction through the other, haunting grief, eternal longing, stolen innocence, the moon craves the sun, the fist holding the leash, the hand stroking the cheek, the fingers strumming the tune.

basically all my usual info for him is the same until post ww1
max is one of the older vampires and no one liked him. he always had fascy vibes.
david is the maker of the lost boys as he was the only successful fledgling that max has ever made. you could say one of david's "gifts" is being very "fertile" and having a good eye for who'll survive/do well/etc.
the fact that lestat is more popular for a bit that he'd been doing since the 80s pisses him off SO FUCKING BAD. SO FUCKING BAD.
max is killed in the 80s. did david and the boys do it? did he just happen to orchestrate a scenario were max would get killed? did max get murdered because that just happens sometimes? david will never tell.
he's the master of their coven and he tries REALLY HARD to stay out of the larger politics of the vampire world. this becomes increasingly hard as the book is published, there's the whole great conversion thing, etc.
david has a gift for creating hallucinations/illusions, also likely some mimicry and then the cloud gift -- that one all of his fledglings have inherited though it's not clear if they have inherited the other ones.
david while trying to steer clear of the broader politics is also an opportunist and is always looking for which way the wind is blowing.
the lost boys are a hub of smuggling/transport/fake documents/food supply/etc for vampires with david putting his history as a criminal to use to make them money and make them pretty invaluable to the current vampire order as people who help everyone get needed shit.
okay i am BACK after a bit of irl time, offline hobbies, reading and mainlining all of iwtv/tvl (save the s3 finale i'll do that todayish) and all of akosk. so i'm CAUGHT UP ON MY THINGS.
and i also have a better sense on how to have jasper and david (and others but those 2 especially) should interact with people/exist in the vc universe.
An original character from the universe of @woefell also created by Train. Mature themes are present. Also sometimes, featuring The Boss who is a cat, you may or may not understand what he's saying.

i say that david uses himself as a lure, that he's engaging in the flirty fishing tactic (a tactic used by cults that basically has the members engaging in sex work and love bombing/relationship based manipulation to coerce people to join/donate) on his own accord to try and find an eternal partner for himself and that is true.
but he is also being used by max when he does this. this is a behavior that benefits max who has control over him. david is the one who draws in the boys, and then star, and then laddie and then michael. even if he's acting in a strictly platonic way he's still tempting, enticing and luring people out of safety and into danger for the benefit of someone he cannot easily say no to.
i genuinely don't know what all the boys are capable of, if they can all do the mental tricks that david can, along with the time freezing we see in the musical or not.
i tend to think that really only david can do these things, solely because he seems to be the only one who ever uses them. it seems odd that even max who's older doesn't appear to use any of the mental tricks to help him manipulate lucy.
i tend to err way from things that imply my own character can do something others cannot because they're simply More Special so i'm torn on what to do here.
i do think that it makes sense if only david can do some/most of these, either completely or at this time, because it plays into the ideas of "david as tinkerbell" and "david as a darker peter pan". tinker bell has fairy magic, which the others do not have, peter pan is peter pan with skills and abilities others don't have which make him the titular hero.
i think for now as a starting point while hashing out vampire ideas and gang dynamics with people i'm going to go for david is simply a prodigy of vampirism and picks up on all these more niche or difficult abilities at terrifying speeds.
i wouldn't say that david is humorless, he very much as a sense of humor, but i'd say he's not really one for a lot of common humor types, especially of the modern kind. things like memes and such are just really not for him. he gets them, he completely comprehends all of this shit, he just doesn't think it's funny.
he tends to err towards comedy at the expense of others (think him fucking with michael to get laughs out of the boys) or dry or satirical humor or camp. his humor usually either has a point behind it (like jonathan swift's a modest proposal) or takes refuge in the absurd and the extreme. that or he's fully just a juvenile asshole with his buddies.
but i have to say that i think a lot of modern muses that are more like, online humor or muses that i dunno... just aren't quite as dry and morbid or as over the top are going to have a hard time making him truly laugh.

Send "Do you trust me?" to see if my muse trusts yours, and just how much if so.
He's deathly serious. "I just you not just with my life, but with all of our lives. I just you even when my brain says that's the most insane thing to do because it never is."

David takes in a deep breath, willing himself to calm the fuck down. It takes a minute, especially since he can feel Dwayne seething not far off. He had every right to be. This was David's miscalculation and it could hurt all of them. They couldn't spend the rest of eternity in Santa Clara, eventually Max would move them along or â and this was the plan David was working on â they'd head out themselves just the four of them. It was practical. You couldn't stay the Murder Capital forever, just look at Fear City, the crack downs and rehabilitation campaigns where in full swing. More eyes on the streets, more efforts to clean those streets meant more witnesses, more people to work around, less places to hide. Eventually someone would decide to do something about the old hotel ruins. Nothing lasted forever.
They needed to start testing the waters, getting used to being out of Santa Clara and comfortable with traveling away from the nest. He hadn't been out of Santa Clara since 1919, it seemed best to start small, just him and Dwayne on a ride. If anything it was a good way to facilitate some deeper thought.
Of course it all had to go to shit.
He's still straddling his bike, hands still gripping the handles itching to take off that second. He only turns his head to Dwayne as he speaks, his whole body tense.
" Because I don't like loose ends. I can't be sure what they'll think, who'll they'll talk to. " he grinds it out. " This is my mess and I won't let it fuck things up. Loose ends are how people end up dead. I'm not letting it slide. "
