THE BASICS

[ michael trevino. vampire/malk leader. thirty-three/unknown. pansexual. cis male. ] Was that just REMINGTON LOCKE, I saw coming out of THE AMUSEMENT PARK? the MENACE TO SOCIETY is best described as WITTY, but he could also be MANIPULATIVE, and as well as being previously unmarked they can easily be noticed by LEATHER JACKETS WITH NOTHING UNDER, THE FLASH OF FANGS BEHIND A MALICIOUS GRIN, & THE FAINT BURNT MARK WHERE HIS CROSS NECKLACE HAS PRESSED AGAINST SKIN as well as A THORN BRANCH GOING THE FULL LENGTH OF HIS INNER LEFT LOWER ARM, which has only just appeared. //rose with thorns, a branch with leaves growing from it, something trapped inside thorns

THE DETAILS

( MICHAEL TREVINO ) our REMINGTON LOCKE is looking for SOMEONE HE’S TURNED WHO HAS BECOME MORE LIKE A CHILD TO THEM ( 0/2 TAKEN ). They would be NEWBORN VAMP AGE ( appearance age wise 18 - 25 ) and would most likely look like UTP. You DO NOT ( BUT CAN IF YOU WANT TO ) have to contact the player. description: so, sometimes, rem has his soft moments. seeing someone and knowing they have the potential in them to be great? he’s turned them ( that kind of stuff we can plot out, why did he turn them, did they want it, etc ) but yea, he pretty much just sees them as his kids.

( MICHAEL TREVINO ) our REMINGTON LOCKE is looking for HIS OWN PERSONAL WITCH. They would be age utp and would most likely look like UTP. You DO NOT ( BUT CAN IF YOU WANT TO ) have to contact the player. description: yeah, ok so. rem just wants a personal witch there that’ll do a bunch of dark magic for him. he might end up giving them special treatment, but it’s not likely. 

soulmarks !

he had a soulmark once, and nothing ever came of it. not that he ever looked for it, he thought that they would slow him down. ruin what he was building for himself.

when he lost his soulmark, he got his most trusted vampires to find the vampire who was responsible. just because he never looked for a soulmate, didn’t mean he wanted to lose it. especially not after he had lost the mark, and realized he did want it.

of course, the vampire that caused it was a story too well known, he couldn’t bring that kind of attention to himself. so he let it go. one of the only grudges he ever let go of.

species !

he chose to become a vampire, literally manipulated his way into the lifestyle and got the very best of it.

as soon as he had found out about the existance of vampires, he knew that was what he wanted to be. it was who he was destined to be.

and malk clan, he turned them into exactly what he wanted them to be, no more of the sad little vampires that he saw menesis as.

he see’s humans as pointless and boring little creatures

werewolves, he just see’s them as dogs he can annoy and taunt, he’s a lost cause sometimes. 

and witches only there for what they’re good for. their magic.

misc !

catch up -

rem is just causing chaos and problems

the usual really.

character arc -

is this were i say i’d like for him to change and become a better person?

because that’s never going to happen. remington is who he is and that’ll never change, not for anyone sadly.

rem is ambitious though, he wants to kill menesis leader and take over the town.

maybe imprison and ruin the rest of menesis lives.

he wants to build his clan up, get them more powerful, and eventually take over the entirety of everwinter

background  —

his human life isn’t who he is now. he was probably some guy who wanted to get married and settle down, and work a boring job. that was until he found out the existence of vampires and the world of promises they held

suddenly, a simple little life wasn’t for him. he didn’t need that, nor did he want that.

infact, the person that turned him, remi had managed to manipulate them into turning him, promising his eternal love forever, that they were soulmates, and somehow their marks matched. ( they didn’t, his sire had seen the thorns and assumed it was a match for their flower. )

that of course, did not happen. his feelings had merely been a fabrication, and once he turned, he built up his own strength, killing every human that came into his sight, before killing his sire. and taking her place as malkavian leader.

since then, he built himself, and the clan up stronger. pushed for them to eat more, and changed rules on who could be taken in. he wanted the clan to be the best, and he would get the best. lost his soulmark at some point during that as well, but he can’t remember much of it.

he remembers wanting to find the vampire who caused all of it and kill them.

anyone who dared to try and overpower him would end up dead or groveling at his feet for forgiveness.

he finally earned a name for himself. and he isn’t going to ever let it go.

at some point, he found a child who clung to him, who remington would look at, and for the first in in a very long time, he found himself warming up to him.

he spent a few months with the child and agreed to become a vampire, fully making him remingtons son.

he loves rudolph a lot ( if you get the reference here, ily )

moving to everwinter had also been a gameplan. a clan stronger than his? a town somewhat living in peace?

he wants to ruin that.

⋆ ⠀⠀⠀࿐ྃ ▸ ; ⠀( TOM HOLLAND) our EZRA EVENSEN is looking for their FRENEMIE. They would be ANY AGE and would most likely look like UTP. You DO NOT have to contact the player. Description: This person has the unfortunate luck of being considered Ezra’s best friend by himself. He likes to annoy them, and is often begging for their attention during the day. They are the best of friends to Ezra, but he could just as well be their biggest enemy and headache. 

questions — lets take a deeper dive into how your character has viewed whats happened in everwinter so far. 

how does your character feel about their soulmark? for those bonded with vampires, your character would have only gotten the mark back recently  — how has that changed their lives/plans at all? is being soul-bonded something they look forward to?

Ezra hasn’t paid much mind to his mark; his mother died when he was young, and his father refused to talk if they were soulmarked or not. He fully believed the mark was another rule he had to follow, and thus another rule he had to break. It didn’t pain him to lose it, as he always affirmed he was above it anyway.

for vampires — when/how were they turned? do they have regrets about being turned? how do they feel about getting their soulmark back? what about their opinion and thoughts on their clan, or how they feel about the other clan? how do they feel about other species? 

Ezra was turned after he almost died in a unfair fight. He was bitter about being turned, for he viewed life not worth living, but he never held it against his sister’s face despite how he, at times, feels anger building inside his chest because of it. They are not particularly close to the clan, becoming a knight only to protect his sister, and he thinks it’s all a bore. He is deeply fascinated with the other species, wanting to know all he can learn about them.

given what’s occurred in everwinter so far ( please look at our PLOT and SUMMARIES page for a break down ), how do they feel? has their changed their thoughts on anything like the other species?

Ezra is not happy about his mark returning. He never was one to follow rules, and he always saw it as another thing the uniserve wished to hold him accountable for. 

explore where you’d like to see your character going arc wise. how would you like to see them develop here at lovebiteshqs.

Ezra is a menace to society, and I honestly don’t see that ever changing. I do wish to see him finally learning how to deal with his emotions, as well as meeting and accepting his soulmark.

background  —  

TW: Violence, Child neglect, murder, mention of insanity, blood, death

What do you make of a boy - I was a child and I will never be young again! - gifted with such blessings even an elder would struggle with? Not a particularly good boy, not conventionally bad. You steal from him the fear of death, the burden of consequences. You put on his shoulders the weight of the world, demands him to bear it without complaints. Lips dripping with hunger, hands sticky with blood - Atlas has never looked so golden. Ezra Ezequiel Evensen was the youngest child of a prominent family in the 12th century; born in a bed of silk, his crib decorated with flowers of gold, the boy had been denied nothing but one thing - Love. His existence had been an unplanned surprise in his parents life, unwanted in the eyes of a father who wished not to look the boy in the face. His mother spent her days bedridden, feet swollen and body aching with the difficulty of a pregnancy in her age. She had, perhaps, loved him despite the struggles - but Ezra would never know. Birth had been as complicated as the doctors predicted, and more. Lady Evensen didn’t live long enough to even see the son who had sucked life out of her. With his coming, Ezra stole something precious from his family, and his existence couldn’t hide the hole Lady Evensen’s passing left in their family. 

  Ezra grew up hated by his father, blamed for his mother’s death; a murderer, from his very first breath. In turn, Ezra became the most uncontrollable one of his kin; even during childhood, Ezra didn’t respond well to authority, rather faking a smile and doing as he wished the moment whoever ordered him turned their back. It started simply enough; allowing his clothes to get ripped and mud stained - more than the usual - as he would play in the woods with the other boys in his town; naked dives in the cold waters of the lake nearby, smile widening when any of the town’s girls would watch him instead of washing their rags; hidden kisses amidst the trees, sweet golden words of marriage slipping from his lips to women he had no intentions of wedding; a tendency of fighting the men in town, when the alcohol flew in his veins and one dared to look at him.

  Ezra had been complicated, and would often invoke the wrath of his father during his worst moments. He had been on the cups of his adulthood when the strings of fate were laid down for him; his father forced him to march with soldiers fighting for something Ezra didn’t quite understand, punishment for a life of disappointment and bringing shame to their family name. Ezra had been terrified, a sword gripped in his sweaty trembling hands as bodies fell all around him. At first, a young woman by a lake saved his life and presented him with such kindness his heart leaped out of his chest to belong to the redhead beauty. The mark on his arm meant nothing compared to what her eyes could do to him. But fate had plans, for him but not for her, and on the day Ezra decided he would run away with this girl he loved dearly, he found her murdered by cruel men who laughed while they ransacked her home. He fought, of course he did, but his wounds were many, and soon Ezra found himself lying on the forest floor, throat sliced and life slipping out of him. Perhaps his sister had received his goodbye letter, had come to give him her peace - But all she found was a dying boy gripping the dirt under his hands, and after that, it all became a blur.

  Bitterness didn’t fill his heart until he found himself held in the mud, starving and feral - his mind animalistic as he yearned for the taste of blood. oh please, it’s just a taste. just a bite. it hurts. please. i will be good, i will stop, i promise! Ezra didn’t recover from his dip into madness quite well; something of it remained in his eyes, untamed and uncontrollable, swirling like a creature hiding in dark waters. At times, when he is inevitably at his weakest, a mere sniff of blood will have him losing control. Something in his mind had been broken beyond repair, animalistic in its nature. 

  Ezra had no penchant for violence, but after the transformation, it came to him as natural as breathing. History has written about him in fear and warnings, many names penned by journalists desperate for words of the local authorities. Though his identity remained unknown over the years, his deeds were never truly forgotten; bodies left behind in a mess of limbs, blood staining the scene as horrified detectives would try to figure what sort of a coward would do such a thing. Many times he was almost caught, but Ezra managed to slip away in secrecy always with the help of those loyal to him - people who must keep him on a leash, if they so desire for him to behave. He hides his nature well now, but during History’s most violent times, Ezra would be there; mingled among humans, disappearing in a sea of bodies without a single person suspecting him. His favorite times were spent in Blackbeard’s ship, where he could let go without fear of being found. 

  His life before is a blur in his mind; years have piled on top of each other, memories not quite right mixing together in his confusion. He remembers, unquestionably, he adored his family; he knows the old languages as if he never stopped speaking it; he remembers the smell of the herbs the local midwife used. He doesn’t remember his mother’s face. Her voice, at times, visits him in his moments of rest to tell him about his mistakes, his failures and flaws - Sometimes, the unseen figure simply sits by the edge of an imaginary lake, cold hand in his and purple lips whispering to him secrets he doesn’t remember when he comes to himself. He guesses they must be important, and he is always trying to recall them. 

  Lies come to him as easy as tears come to a babe; his silver tongue drips of poison without remorse, twisting and masking the truth as he needs. His manipulations are entirely selfish, much like Ezra himself, and he doesn’t think twice before whispering sweet lies into the ears of unexpected subjects. His smile is sharp, at times. However, one would argue it always reaches his eyes and reminds them of the sunrise - Regardless of how fake it is. It was a necessary skill with the life he has always lived, one of his most powerful and trained talents. Charming as the princes in fairy tale books, one would not expect the beast that lives within. Gaining trust into different pockets of society, different types of family and people, is what fed him for centuries, after all. 

  The boy has a tendency of disappearing for years at times. When he wishes to cause trouble or sate his deep hunger, he slips away from his siblings without so much of a word - Visiting countries and states as he leaves a trail of bodies behind. Sometimes. His most recent escapade has seen Ezra in the deep mountains of Norway; living a quiet luxurious life without telling his siblings of him being alright. It’s a fact, however, that Ezra will always come crawling back when trouble threatens to bite him in the ass. 

  Ezra is particularly feral, his mind never recovered from a time where he allowed his demons to take over and control his very actions. Such, there will be times when Ezra loses his lucidity and becomes, one would say, childish. Animalistic. His words will care no sense and his hands will tremble, body curling on itself as memories wash over him. There are times his hunger is insatiable at moments like these, but mostly he will look for the embrace of his clan - like a puppy who reencounters with its owners - wishing to be held and taken care of by the only person he knows at such moments. Even when clarity returns to him, Ezra will act rather clingy to whichever person fell victim to his actions; following them like a shadow, no words leaving his mouth.

questions — lets take a deeper dive into how your character has viewed whats happened in everwinter so far. 

how does your character feel about their soulmark? for those bonded with vampires, your character would have only gotten the mark back recently  — how has that changed their lives/plans at all? is being soul-bonded something they look forward to?

Soulmarks have always been important to his family. His parents were soulmarked, and Matthieu has always seen them as an example of undying love. His soulmark is an extremely serious business for him, and his Luna is everything in his life. Matthieu had always been excited to soulbond, wishing desperately to feel that connection with his imprint and live a long life together. His intentions about it were serious enough that he barely dated until he met his Luna.

for werewolves — were they born a wolf or turned? how do they feel about pack dynamics? are they close with the pack? what are their thoughts on the other species? how do they feel about the treaty?

Matthieu was born a wolf, and grew up within the heart of the pack. He adores his pack, and would spend any of his free moments with them whenever the chance would arrive. His mother was bitter about the treaty, unable to trust a witch even, and Matthieu adopted her opinions as his own.

given what’s occurred in everwinter so far ( please look at our PLOT and SUMMARIES page for a break down ), how do they feel? has their changed their thoughts on anything like the other species?

Matthieu grew up wary of the vampires and witches lurking about. He isn’t unkind to other species, but he would rather spend as little time around them as possible, if he can help it. It is a mistrust passed down to him by his mother, which was passed to her from her mother, and so on. He certainly can’t see himself being the best of buddies with a vampire, and always thinks they are up to something evil.

explore where you’d like to see your character going arc wise. how would you like to see them develop here at lovebiteshqs.

I would love to see Matthieu grow more confident in his role as an alpha, and learning how to trust the other species as well. He is in a place now where he is very closed off, and I would like to see him opening himself to the world.

background  —  TW: Death

For as long as time existed, the Maurentiacus lived by a very simple principle; family. Extended, adopted, found - It didn’t matter for the tightly knit group; if you were accepted into the open arms of the Maurentiacus, you would find yourself loved and protected ‘till your last days. Their driven force and fatal flaw, one could say; they kill and die for family. Matthieu Maurentiacus wasn’t an exception; born during the late hours of a stormy evening, the boy with dark eyes stole his mother’s heart when placed on her open arms. His father, a man with gentleness beyond anyone’s comprehension, had cried during the entire birth. Mon petit loup, they had called him. Matthieu was the youngest of two children, the youngest of countless cousins, and therefore, he grew up without the heavy responsibility of being his mother’s next in line. 

A respected powerful Alpha, Beatrix Maurentiacus had claimed her eldest daughter for that role. Camille had inherited her mother’s blonde hair and stern eyes, but their father’s kindness and mischief in ways that would, playfully, irritate their mother. Matthieu remembers days where he and Camille would disappear into the woods, playing by the trees when the girl should be attending pack meetings with their mother. The siblings were close especially to their father, Seok, who would teach them all he knew about plants and flowers during warm afternoons. 

Life had been simple, then. The Atropos pack had a reliable leader, there weren’t potential threats the wolves had to worry about, and Matthieu spent his days with cousins and pack members alike, chasing each other through the woods while skipping classes. Matthieu was easy going, charming but relatively shy, captain of the rugby team, a prankster and a good boy. His grades were mediocre, but enough to get him by, and he broke hearts of girls he didn’t know by simply not being interested in dating during his teenage years. He had not met his imprint yet, but the tattoo meant the world to him, and Matthieu had no wish to fool around. 

After graduation, Matthieu hadn’t had many plans for his life; perhaps his carelessness came from a place of soft arrogance, knowing his family was prominent and he would always be cared for. Or perhaps, he really didn’t show interest in any pursuits. He adores dancing, being a skilled ballet student, but he didn’t want to leave his family for an upstage New York school. So he settled with working with his father, administrating the bar the pack could call home and eventually opening up a small flower shop. Life was good. Simple. 

And then, the accident happened. The call came when Matthieu was cleaning up the bar; a drunk driver, a wet road, three bodies for him to identify. His family was gone. Matthieu felt the peace and happiness leave his life in one single night. The night his mother died. His sister too. The night he became the Alpha. Physically, no one dared to question Matthieu’s ability as the leader; big, strong, tall as a tree. But emotionally, many are worried for the boy who now has to lead and grief, and he is tired of their pity.

questions — lets take a deeper dive into how your character has viewed whats happened in everwinter so far. 

how does your character feel about their soulmark? for those bonded with vampires, your character would have only gotten the mark back recently  — how has that changed their lives/plans at all? is being soul-bonded something they look forward to?

Safiya’s parents are soulmarked and she always wanted a relationship similar to theirs. She’s a little embarrassed to admit just how much she imagined meeting her own imprint. Of course things didn’t go to plan when nothing at all appeared when she was eighteen. Knowing they were a vampire and she was never likely to find her imprint, Safiya completely wrote them off. One of the reasons she became a tattoo artist and started getting tattoos herself, was so that she and others with vampire imprints could have one less thing they felt they were missing. A tattoo was no replacement for a soulmark, but her skin at least felt less empty.

Now that her soulmark has appeared, she doesn’t know what to do. She’s lived the last ten years with no romantic attachments, and the thought of being pulled towards someone that’s supposed to be her forever is terrifying. Safiya also doesn’t want this to affect her relationship with her wolf family and doesn’t want to be put in a position where she has to choose.

for werewolves — were they born a wolf or turned? how do they feel about pack dynamics? are they close with the pack? what are their thoughts on the other species? how do they feel about the treaty?

Safiya’s is from a long line of wolves and she like many others started shifting when she hit puberty (for Safiya she was around 12). She is very close with her family and with her pack and has always only really seen the positives of pack life. As a hunter that takes her duty seriously, she can’t imagine how there are wolves who aren’t close to their pack/put them first after once making what she considered the wrong choice and choosing her own happiness first. They’re very protective of their wolf family, but having a very open minded human mom has left her with not having a particular dislike for other species as long as there is respect for territories. As for the treaty? Safiya is quite conflicted about it. She believes the vampires deserved to be punished but thinks the punishment shouldn’t have affected non-vamps too. Because ironically having no soulmark branded her as someone mated to a vampire.

given what’s occurred in everwinter so far ( please look at our PLOT and SUMMARIES page for a break down ), how do they feel? have they changed their thoughts on anything like the other species?

Safiya has always claimed to be very open to other species and hasn’t let that affect who they’ve slept with in the past, but now that there could be a permanent vampire in their life, their inherited bias is showing. They don’t want to risk their place in the pack and don’t think the pack would be happy to have a vampire around all the time either, despite soulmate laws.

explore where you’d like to see your character going arc wise. how would you like to see them develop here at lovebiteshqs.

I would love to see my character once again faced with a choice that includes their pack and having to decide once again if they should come first over her own dreams and desires. I’m also a sucker for slow burn and just general character development that comes about through interactions.

background  — 

Born to a human mother and a wolf father, Safiya spent the majority of her life in Everwinter, leaving only briefly in her late teens/early 20s for school. They say it takes a village to raise a baby, and the pack was very much her village. When her parents were busy, Safiya was often left in the care of one of her paternal grandparents or one of her wolf ‘aunties’. Everyone was considered family, even if they weren’t blood related.

Safiya showed great promise as an artist from a young age and it was a skill that both her parents made sure to nurture despite the fact that it wasn’t seen as a useful pack skill. They supported her passions, while making sure she was also educated on all things that would make her an important member of the pack.

As a child Safiya had big dreams of being a fashion designer but always suffered with conflicting thoughts when it came to leaving her pack. Her parents encouraged her to follow her dreams and Safiya stepped away from the pack to go to school for art. Within a few months, Safiya knew she’d made the wrong choice but stuck it out due to her own stubbornness. At the end of her graduate degree, she moved back home and declared she no longer wanted to be a designer. Instead she started working with a local tattoo artist at Inked Out as an apprentice and reintegrated into the pack. Over time she grew in both areas, quickly becoming a talented tattoo artist and hunter for her pack. It had taken time, but once they’d seen that she had no plan to leave again, the pack welcomed her back with warm arms and it was like she’d never left.

Any of Eliza’s siblings. I feel as if it is possible that one of them may have ended up being turned at some point as well, though probably by a different vampire. They probably haven’t seen one another for a long time.

The illegitimate daughter she had with her first love. Eliza, of course, has never met her daughter, and has long since suspected that she lived a normal life and passed away as she was supposed to. However, her daughter was also turned.

how does your character feel about their soulmark? for those bonded with vampires, your character would have only gotten the mark back recently  — how has that changed their lives/plans at all? is being soul-bonded something they look forward to? 

Eliza feels fairly apprehensive about her mark. She was apprehensive when it first appeared centuries ago, and then somewhat relieved when it disappeared. She’s had no luck in the romance department, and has always had troubles with men treating her badly, so she is afraid a soulmate will be no different. She spent centuries believing that soulmates simply didn’t exist––that they were a myth or a fairytale. Like fairytales, she knew that was something that would never happen to her. That wasn’t how her life worked. Nothing ever went the way she wanted or expected it to.

for vampires — when/how were they turned? do they have regrets about being turned? how do they feel about getting their soulmark back? what about their opinion and thoughts on their clan, or how they feel about the other clan? how do they feel about other species? 

Eliza was turned after an unexpected illness that left her on her deathbed. Due to her rather promiscuous nature during that time in her life, it was determined to be an issue with an unknown pregnancy. She feels relatively close to her clan, far closer than she had ever felt to her true family. There are times where she feels a little resentful to the ruler (as they were the one who turned her and therefore caused her to feel trapped), but she generally loves them like the family she never had. She has no bad will against other species, but that doesn’t mean they like her. 

Eliza loves how quaint and small Everwinter is. It feels cozy and she never feels like she has to hide. She does have some issues with some of the other people in town, but not because of any bias she has towards them or their species. Her personality (as she is often seen as cold, guarded, and distant) doesn’t tend to land her in many peoples’ good books. Most people feel intimidated by her, or just outright don’t like her despite never putting in the effort to get to know her.

I would like Eliza to start to gain some of her trust back. She had issues trusting anyone, really, and it would be nice for her soulmate to be the one to bring her back out of her shell again. 

background  —  tw: murder, manipulation, abuse, miscarriage/infant death

Elizabeth Viola Evensen was born the eldest of the Evensen children on 3 November, sometime in the 13th century. She no longer remembers exactly when; it was so very long ago, after all, and she stopped celebrating her birthday at some point over the years. Being the eldest, she often ended up caring for her younger siblings growing up, especially considering there was an eight year difference between her and her next sibling, Eden. When her youngest brother Ezra came along, so too did the death of their mother, causing Eliza to take on more of a motherly role to her youngest sibling than any of her other siblings.

She often sees her life as “before” and “after”. Before she was turned, she honestly doesn’t remember much anymore. She did, however, refuse all of her father’s attempts to marry her off for as long as she was able. She wished to be able to marry for love, and she didn’t want to be controlled by a man for the rest of her life. She desired freedom, love, and the opportunity to be smart and have her own opinions, something marrying any of the men her father chose would not have afforded her. Being born into a wealthy family, neither of her parents were very affectionate to their children, and Eliza was raised essentially as an object to be pawned off to the highest bidder. She despised the fact that her role in society was mainly to keep quiet and do as she was told. However, she used this undesirable role to her advantage: to help her learn more about people and their secrets. Secrets that she would use as a sort of currency over the years.

She did fall in love, though, with a man her father wholly disapproved of. He was sweet, kind, and someone who respected her opinion and her desire to learn. They were reckless in their love and, despite trying to keep their love and (sexual) relationship a secret, her father caught them in a compromising position one day not long after she turned 19. The last thing she remembers of that boy she loved was seeing her father pursuing him into the night. She never saw him again, even after she discovered she was pregnant. To this day, she believes her father killed him. 

During her illegitimate pregnancy, her family kept her hidden away. She gave birth to a daughter a few weeks before her 20th birthday, a daughter she was never allowed to raise and never got to see.

A few weeks after her daughter was born, her father had managed to marry her off quickly to an Earl; an absolutely disgusting man, nearly her father’s age, who treated her appallingly. She spent ten years of her life being completely controlled by a man, practically treated like a child, and unfortunately abused when he was unable to control his temper. Despite the ten years they were married, Eliza never gave her husband an heir. That wasn’t to say he had never gotten her pregnant…she just had never carried to term. Her last miscarriage was fairly late term in her pregnancy, due to her husband’s drunken and abusive behaviour one night not long before he died. The baby was born pre-term, only surviving a day. Luckily Eliza didn’t have to endure longer than ten years of her torturous marriage, as her idiot of a husband managed to get himself killed in a duel over another man’s wife.

She mourned her husband when he died, of course, as society expected her to. But only outwardly. Inwardly, she was celebrating the return of her freedom, of her control over her life and her finances; she swore she would never let a man control her again. So instead, she made sure she was always in control of the relationship. This was something that continued into the portion of her life that she considers “after.”

On her fortieth birthday, she was turned by a vampire she soon learned to be the oldest vampire. After she was turned, she relished the control she had. Of course, she despised her new life: how stuck and almost imprisoned it kept them. But she found a way to pursue her own freedom. She pursued to education she wished to have, even if it meant learning most things by herself because she was a woman. Due to the youthful appearance her new condition afforded her, she passed herself off as younger than the age she was turned, allowing herself time to live in certain areas without her condition being discovered. Over the centuries she learned various musical instruments, and when Opera came into existence, she fell in love. She was trained by the best composers throughout history, her first being Henry Purcell. Her natural talent for singing brought her far almost right off the bat; she became one of the original opera singers. She continued her training over the years with the likes of Mozart, Tchaikovsky, Puccini and many others. Of course, she had to be careful with her role as a public figure, and she still does. Often times she goes by another name when she performs.

She ended up in Everwinter with the vampire family she had acquired over the years. While Eliza liked the little town and spent a good amount of time there initially, she missed her life in England. Recently, however, things began to change, starting with the reappearance of a mark on her left forearm that she hadn’t seen for centuries. Her soulmark. When the mark had first appeared centuries ago, she had felt cautiously optimistic, but her hope and optimism evaporated with its disappearance. Now, she is apprehensive, and maybe even a little afraid of the mark.  

THE BASICS

⋆ ⠀⠀⠀࿐ྃ ▸ ; ⠀ [ giancarlo commare. witch/rogue. twenty-four/twenty-seven. bisexual. cis male. ] was that just LORENZO DI MEO, I saw coming out of THE OCCULT STORE? the SHOP OWNER is best to be described as SELF-CONFIDENT, but he could also be IRRESPONSIBLE and as well as being previously unmarked they can easily be noticed by THE INSISTENCE THAT HE IS A WARLOCK NOT A WITCH, SLIPPING INTO ITALIAN WITHOUT REALIZING & NO COLOUR BUT BLACK IN HIS CLOSET, as well as FOUR LEAF CLOVER ON HIS MIDDLE FINGER , which has only just appeared. /  broken mirror, open umbrella, horse shoe with ends pointed down, ravens, the word macbeth, stick figure under a ladder- poly open

THE DETAILS

⋆ ⠀⠀⠀࿐ྃ ▸ ; ⠀( giancarlo commare ) our LORENZO DI MEO is looking for their SIBLING. They would be OLDER THAN HIM and would most likely look like UTP - HAS TO BE ITALIAN. You DO NOT have to contact the player. Description: i like to imagine that the siblings are close ( the eldest moved to ‘look after enzo’ ) but they’d also be the one to call enzo out on his shit and dumbass ways. he’s extremely irresponsible with his magic and it shows, and tbh needs someone to reel him in. but also the angsty part of me would love a 'i didn’t come all this way to clean up after you all the time’ type argument to cause a drift between them.

⋆ ⠀⠀⠀࿐ྃ ▸ ; ⠀( giancarlo commare ) our LORENZO DI MEO is looking for a VAMPIRE THEY DO BUSINESS WITH. They would be UTP YEARS OLD and would most likely look like UTP. You DO NOT have to contact the player. Description: alright so; enzo owns an occult store, that mostly deals with dark magic items. ones that are more difficult to get and some straight up impossible, so he would need someone with that age and knowledge to find these for him, or tell him where to look. ( ideally, the vampire has to be someone on the more evil side, not scared to get caught doing things they definitely shouldn’t be ) and let’s just say, enzo will repay the favour in either his blood or in his magic.

soulmarks !

he was whipped before he met them.

like you don’t even get it, enzo??? WHIPPED for his soulmate

inlove with the idea of them since the age of 5

he was actually so heart broken when his mark didn’t come through, like cried for days, his mamma had to try and calm him down, but overall didn’t know how to help him

constantly wondered if there was something wrong with him, or if he did something wrong to not receive a mark

but also, the mere IDEA of having a vampire as a soulmark is INSANE to him

species !

born a witch at the age of three he had his first cauldron

also - lorenzo wants me to let you all know; he’s a warlock. not a witch.

he prefers the name, thinks it makes him sound more badass.

he considers his mamma the best witch he knows, he idolizes her and she taught him everything that she knows

both his parents, they taught their kids, to do as they pleased with magic

if something went wrong, it was a lesson they would learn later down the road and that’s made him more reckless in his own magic use

they’re his coven, his family

he’s also too dependant on his powers he relies on them for everything

like if anything ever happened to them? if he lost them??? i feel like he’d be a whole different person

misc !

catch up - 

he’s claiming getting his mark was the best thing to have ever happened to him

the second he finds his soulmate(s) i’m so sorry for the person he will become bc he’s just gonna be like

a whole bunch of over-excited puppy so happy and in love

character arc

idk, eventually i’d like for enzo to grow out of his spoilt rich kid aesthetic

find his soulmate settle down

maybe start their own little family-based coven ( if witch ) also, make a family of his own.

then, when he’s finally happy and things are looking good, yknow, maybe turn him. bonus points if it’s not his vampire mate and he loses his magic, he hates that idea but i love it 

background  —

lorenzo was born in florence, italy. his family had a coven of their own, and because he was born into his powers, he learned from a young age how to use his powers, as well as the ins and outs of a coven and how they worked.

his family is also extremly wealthy which highkey turned him into a spoilt brat with no actual understanding of money or its worth

once he hit eighteen and his didn’t come through he kinda lost it a little? he’s such a hopeless romantic and to not get his mark, he figured it was because something must be wrong with him 

his mama tried to help as best she could but she didn’t think there would ever be a time when vampires would get their marks back.

she wasn’t entirely happy her baby being paired with a vampire, but she also knew it just meant he was better suited for one

the two did try every spell and curse they knew, in hopes of giving him his mark, but nothing ever worked. 

eventually, he just got this feeling that italy wasn’t where he belonged.

he tried to explain it but never could, just this niggling little feeling inside him that told him he needed to be somewhere else

he needed to be away from here. 

so his parents packed him ( and his older sibling, bc they didn’t trust him being alone ) up and told him to follow his heart. ( his father instantly deciding it must be the soulmark making him feel this way, even if he didn’t have one. )

his parents were always the cheesy type though, beliving in true love and all that.

it’s where he got it from, his hopeless romantic side. 

however, once they arrived in everwinter, the feeling that had been pulling him there disappeared. he panicked at first, but after hours on the phone with his mamma, a lot of her trying to convince him he should come back home, so he met them half way with it, visiting home as often as he could while also trying to set up a life in everwinter. 

so, he set up a life for himself, finished school and went into business before eventually opening his own occult store. mostly selling and looking into all the magical objects he could only find in italty. ( eventually going into the more rarity of things )

he also looked into the coven within everwinter, but after deciding it wasn’t for him, enzo went solo. he still felt like he belonged back in his own coven.

he is more free and open with his own magic, but that was just how he was taught. reckless and irresponsible with his magic.

his mamma literally told him one time; you learn when you mess up
