🦇 "Nah. I ain't got no light. I was just fortunate to get one off some drunk guy." The moon mirrored its gleam in his eyes as he cast his gaze toward the heavens. It was a lovely night, considering the lack of good music. Something he'd have to accept an apology that he'd never get. He drew the whiskey-infused cigar to his lips and took a long pull. He let the contents fill the apex of his chest. The warmth was wonderful against the contrast of his conditioning. He'd gingerly take the dragon in before averting his attention back to the sky. The smoke expelled through his nostrils as he took a small pull before offering the cigar to Fletcher- ignited side to use as the ember to set his cigarette. "But this might just do in a pinch." He finally made true eye contact. "Ain't worth the trouble to hurt someone."

                location : envy, late evening .

it  wasn’t  often  that  fletcher  strayed  from  the  old haunt  for  a  quick  drink  after  his  shift,  but  as  it  was  a  friday  evening  he’d  decided  to  try  and  inject  a  little  fun  into  his  life,  even  if only  for  a  few  hours.  already  the  whiny  music  had  irritated  him to  no  end,  not  to  mention  the  drunk  girls  practically  throwing  themselves  at  him  —  next  time  he’d  make  a  note  to  wear  a  jacket  to  prevent  his  biceps  from  becoming  the  main  attraction.  standing  in  the  smoking  area  out  the  back  of  the  club  he  spun  his  thumb  against  the  wheel  of  his  lighter,  cursing  beneath  his  breath  when  the  flame  lit,  sputtered,  and  disappeared.  “  —  you  got  a  light  i  can  borrow  ?  if  i  don’t  have  a  cigarette  right  now  i  fear  something  might  get  smashed  ...  or  worse,  someone.”

[     PERSONAL.     ]

01. how  many  languages  does  your  character  speak  ? In total, Laurent can speak several languages. His native tongue has been forgotten but he can fluently speak Spanish, Latin, French, Haitian Creole, Greek, and English. He can comprehend others but just enough to survive a day or three. 02. how  does  your  character  express  anger  ? As a rule of thumb, for his own sanity and possible conflict resolution, he tends to avoid things that will elicit such a response. When he is unable to do such techniques, he tries to vocalize his displeasure and unease. He is unable to hide his emotions as his expressions often betray him. 03. what  is  your  character's  home  like  ? It would be as if you've stepped into the 1930s Creole flair. Of course, it is modernized so that he isn't too far behind. Champagne. Ivory. Marble. A beautiful architecture wonder as if it was ripped right from the period. The sound of jazz to make you right at home. 04. how  does  your  character  handle  conflict  ? He tries his best to talk it out. Walk through every emotion felt and simply it so the complexities of feelings don't muddle the purpose or tone. If Laurent can't achieve it that way, he would settle for a good cussin'. 05. how  does  your  character  display  affection  ? A creature of intimacy and closeness, he generally will exhibit it through physical contact and time. It's easier for him to bring his thoughts to words but it is so much easier to just show it.

[ SUPERNATURAL.     ]

01. when  did  you  character  first  notice  their  powers  /  differences  ? He didn't believe it but the emergence of his vampirism and the severance of his spellcasting was almost immediate. It was almost like he had to experience a second 'death' of 'self'. 02. how  does  your  character  feel  about  their  abilities  /  species  ? Laurent has grown confident in his own abilities and self-reliance as his interactions with vampires hasn't been daisies and rose gardens (without thorns). 03. what stereotypical traits of their species does your character show ? are there any ways in which they subvert them ? He definitely gets a little broody. To counteract this, he tends to throw himself into reorganizing his portfolios or throwing lavish parties. 04. what's  your  muse's  favorite  ability  /  the  one  they  use  the  most ?  why ? There isn't one that he favors but he does enjoy toying with his matter manipulation. It reminds him of how easy it was to cast spells and defy the laws of possibility. It keeps him grounded. 05. what  is  your  character's  reason  for  being  guided  to  portum ? To protect himself from himself. To gain a sense of community. To adapt to life without traces of his sire. To possibly find more of himself.

After the shattering of his connection with his maker, Laurent found himself in desperate need of refuge. However, it would take nearly two centuries before he would truly confront this longing. During that time, he grappled with an insatiable bloodlust and the overwhelming urge to fill the gaping void of solitude that consumed him. His sense of self was deeply affected, as he oscillated between profound sorrow and debilitating depression. The severing of the sire bond left him in a state of isolation, tormented by his own inner turmoil, and he felt as though each battle he fought was a losing one, eroding his spirit until only a flicker of determination remained.

Amidst this darkness, there emerged a part of him that yearned to flourish. This realization served as a powerful reminder of the resilience that had sustained him through countless trials. It was as if the ancestral blood coursing through his veins was calling him back to life, urging him to reclaim his legacy. The time had come for him to acknowledge that he could no longer remain a prisoner of his past; he needed to rise from the ashes of despair and embrace the strength that had always been within him.

Embracing this newfound perspective, Laurent understood that his journey was not merely about survival but about thriving. The legacy of his bloodline was not just a burden but a source of strength, a reminder that he was capable of overcoming the shadows that had haunted him for so long. It was time to step into the light, honor his heritage, and forge a path forward that would allow him to seek his new purpose. In doing so, he'd rediscover the essence of who he truly was.
