Thinking about all of my muses that have a vampire verse and all of their individual thoughts on it

Hewlett: big religious guilt. Believes he's punished by God for a variety of reasons and thinks he is a monster or a demon. Just can't find any time to relax with the large hunger he has for blood in the beginning of his "transformation." (Not like they actually transform but it's he only word I can think of). A lot of guilt and I don't think he ever becomes fully comfortable, but he slowly accepts it because he has no other choice. Absolutely despises the "immortality" part.

Lydia: Already is a spy/working for the spy ring, so hiding a part of herself isn't new to her. She's more concerned about getting a constant blood source and tracking down the vampire in the Patriot camp that turned her (likely the same guy that turned Hewlett for consistancy sake). Indifferent towards it, finds both the pros and cons in it.

Evie: Is more in favor of it and it's all she's ever known. She likes the strengths it gives her and the time she has to really grow and develop as a person (and all the hobbies, projects, and activities she involves herself in). She isn't against manipulation or using people for blood because like I said, it's all she knows and sees it as a surivival necessity because if she doesn't drink blood: she will weaken and not survive. She also has the worst vampire "curse" with her wounds never healing.

Jacob F: It is all he has known but has found the flaws in it after all this time. He uses to really like it but finds it more a hassle with how he has to keep it under the wraps around everyone. He has to be extremely careful with not airing out the family's vampire secret to the townspeople. He finds that part to be incredibly draining. Doesn't like to manipulate people and hates he might have to do that to survive. Finds more cons in it than pros. Also has a strained relationship with his father and his sister, so that also has some part in his dislike of being a vampire. (Especially because he was young when it happened and didn't know better. Ethan didn't force it on them but really wanted all of his children to become vampires, so there is some peer pressure there and to "follow the family" and appease everyone).

( Jacob Frye ; closed starter )

      𝐅𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭, he could hear clearly from Evie in his head as if she stood beside Jacob now. The additional person would be nice, a person who knew him thoroughly and all his their secrets, but he knew if Evie was around -- they wouldn’t be stuck in the middle of the wilderness with rain pouring down overhead and thunder clashing with everything.

        Now, with a drenched overcoat, boots that squelched with every step, he was at the mercy of the foliage above him for protection. Maybe he could manage to find his way back to town?

      Through the rainfalls and the clouded landscape before him, he shook his head. ❝ Sod it. ❞

      Then, heavy hoof steps turn his head, eyes wide at the sign of another lifeform (or just one lifeform, Jacob was only similar to mortals in a few ways). He rushes out from the trees, lifting his hands and waving them.

       ❝ Hey! You there! Stop, please! ❞

vahru asked : sunflower for jacob

sunflower :   what brings your muse the most joy in life ?  

       Oh god, across all verses it would be alcohol and money, likely. Well, adventures and a good brawl, as well.

       In Jacob’s main verse, his Rooks, his sister (despite their arguments), and Lilith. Unless you look at my threads with deadlyarccna or look at Jacob’s bio, you might not know much about Lilith, but Jacob really really likes her. I think all of those things bring him the most joy in life. At most, Jacob is the happiest and easy to be joyful in his main verse.

       In his vampire verse, I think he is probably the least happy. I think Jacob gets bored often because he’s lived so long, he’s practically seen everything in town, to its development, to its decline, to its new designs, and overall history. He’s not necessarily interested in looking back in its history because he was there for most of it, and it would be used for nostalgia purposes. Jacob doesn’t brawl as much as he does in his main verse, because his strength would draw too much attention (and he’s worried he’ll actually kill someone), so a lot of his past time is spent doing odd jobs, helping his father or Evie, poker, pool games at a bar, and drinking. Jacob drinks the most alcohol in his verse because he wants to numb the feeling of boredom. It’s rather bleak for him in this verse, but I would say the rush of newity and adrenaline makes him feel the most joy. Immortality makes many things not as interesting to him, like he practically has seen it all, so he likes to travel, learn, and look over new technology.

       Pirate verse: Really similar to his main verse, he likes the simple but costly pleasures in life. Adrenaline and brawls are still his interest, but he is more into what he can get away with. He enjoys the unstereotypical life, he likes not necessarily having a direction or long-term goals, as in living on the edge. He doesn’t want normality, he more of wants to test himself to see how far he can get in life without sticking to the same job.

       Western verse: Seeing his progress with the O’Driscolls. I think in a group of majority Irish, Jacob is met with a lot of distrust and backlash (though Jacob could really care less about politics unless it suits him directly, he does have a warped, very pro-British view from his father whether he admits it or not). Jacob does not like Colm O’Driscoll at all, his methods are a bit too violent for him, but Jacob is far more reckless and is more violent than he is in his main verse. So, making Colm happy and being more successful with his jobs and earnings compared to his coworkers brings him the most joy. He wants people to see he’s capable, more than capable actually. He thrives on earning respect and recognition within the O’Driscolls. (Maybe, just maybe, becoming the next gang leader? Perhaps?).

archaeval asked : ❝  with a smile like that,  i can’t help but want to know your secret.  what’s got you so cheery today?  ❞ // vampire ruby to jacob, but with evil undertones natch

       𝐖𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐚𝐫 𝐯𝐨𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐡𝐢𝐭 𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐬, 𝐉𝐚𝐜𝐨𝐛 𝐚𝐥𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐲 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐫𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐞𝐲𝐞𝐬 𝐚𝐬 𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐛𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐟𝐚𝐜𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐨𝐧. Ever since she came into their town and learned quickly of their ancient and buried secret, she was growing to be a nuisance for Jacob. But for some reason, his father didn’t see any reason to kill her off. Not yet. Jacob didn’t see why he didn’t if he was so willing to manipulate and use anyone for his own gain. Was it because Ruby was another vampire that he found some interest in engaging with because she was an outsider to their close-knit family?

       Jacob looked up into the mirror in front of him, noting the scowl already on his face that she must’ve been referencing. He despised the sugar-sweet fall of her tone, the way it conveyed an irony that Jacob understood.

       He ran a water-slicked hand across the top of his hair to settle the wild hair and turned around on his heel to face her. ❝ Do you still linger here because you have no money for a carriage ride? I am more than willing to give hand-outs to the needy. ❞

       Never needing to really work, the Frye family often have hobbies to pass the time to keep out of the hands of boredom that both wealth and immortality brings. They have everything they could possibly want, so there isn't too much of a drive to buy more material things.

       Evie runs the town's museum, it helps her obscure the truth and control it. The Frye family invest their own money in it and don't require donations to keep it running (but do accept them). Underneath the museum building is the printing press and office space for the town's newspaper. The Frye family don't run the newspaper and try to keep as much of a hand out of it to avoid any suspicion. If anything comes down to it to where their secret comes out or an article is posted that goes against their pristine reputation, then they will get involved.

       Besides the museum, Evie is part of a sewing/seamstress club and likes to train the horses at home to do tricks (like those competitions for horses besides racing).

       Jacob is the most bored member of the family. He doesn't like to stick to one thing, he likes change and loathes repetition. In his freetime he will help out with odd jobs around the town and often fixes stagecoaches and wagons. He does some slight wood working at home but never stuck to the craft for long to really hone it out. Besides those two, Jacob gambles a lot and travels (sometimes for gambling). The Frye family have more than enough wealth than what they know what to do with, so why not dabble in some gambling? It's exciting to beat the odds and it’s enough excitement for Jacob who likes challenges. Ethan hates that Jacob does this because he really dislikes risky and reckless behavior. It causes a bit of a rift in their relationship.

       The only thing the Frye family doesn't have is close and valuable (human) connections. They have themselves out of fear of people getting to close and finding what lies in their closets. (The whole vampire thing).
