Claude Bonvent, a fake high class vampire with unknown origins. The 'fake' pertains to the fact that he's poor as all hell and only pretends to have familiarized himself with the finest of the fine of centuries past. He had never been a complete stranger to them, but only ever as arm candy, as thief, as someone who'd walked in and stuck around for as long as it took someone to realize 'hold on, who is this guy the son of again?'. Thievery, lying, conniving, but most of all, always ready to pop off, short-tempered and only submissive when it helps him play his cards right. He's not particularly sweet, doesn't even like people all that much, has a low tolerance for bullshit, and is not secretly soft and kind-hearted. He's an evil uncle waiting to happen. Probably aroace but I haven't really dived into that yet.
No one knows where he came from. He's just... there, most likely running from whomever he's recently pissed off.

NAME: Rosalind Whitlock
AGE & BIRTHDAY: 29 & January 14th
AGE: 29
SPECIES: Witch (Water + No Current Specialization)
PROFESSION: Artist + Art Curator
FACECLAIM: Willa Fitzgerald
Rosalind can be assertive and perceptive, but also placid and loyal.
✦ BIOGRAPHY ✦
Rosalind was the second child of the Whitlocks and easily blended into the background what with an elder brother that showed promise before her and twins following after her. There had always been a hefty weight, for as long as Rosalind could remember, to place her family name and reputation above all else. Above her passions, above her feelings, everything. No exceptions.
Growing up in a witch family was difficult enough with having to keep secrets from those that weren't in the know. It was another thing entirely to grow up in a family that stood at the helm of the council. Instilled on her was to know that wherever she went and whatever she did it would be met with scrutiny, from her parents first and the rest of the council second. At first Rosalind vied for her parents attention and approval, at a young age the blonde wanted to be of importance to them. She ultimately realized that if she wasn't first in line or a man, like her brother to take over, then they had no interest.
Rosalind fell into the background then with ease, withdrew completely and entertained the Whitlock title only when she had to. She followed rules, of course, but she didn't try as hard, didn't love magic as much, and she leaned into her passions of art. Sometimes she blames herself for the ignorance. For thinking the way her parents pushed the eldest was not her problem. When she first heard of his death she couldn't help the blame that consumed her. That still does.
Not long after his funeral she was in her father's study agreeing to learn, agreeing to take over, even if it wasn't what she had planned for herself. Rosalind needed to make the loss count for something. She just had to.
✦ CONNECTIONS ✦
Alexander & Isabella Whitlock — Younger siblings, she adores them though not always vocal about it. Feels like they've definitely grown more closer since the death of their eldest brother. Rosalind wants to protect them from the council and wants them to live their best life.
TBD: Her ex. Rosalind was with him for years and doesn't think she'll love someone the same. Not one to be completely open with someone but was with him. Immediately ended things with him after her brother passed. In a sense doesn't want to get him involved with whatever her life becomes now that she's next in line.
Asiye Erdoğan: Old childhood friends, Rosalind remembers their time together fondly and just how quickly it was tattered to shreds. Asiye's parents were exiled by the council, but more specifically by Walter Whitlock. With the return of Asiye and her family in the city Rosalind vouched for their return and a treaty was created to reallow them back into the city. Of course with conditions. Rosalind is elated to have been a part of change and to have her friend return.
✦ FUN FACTS ✦
Rosalind loves creating art and it is her go to stress relief at any given time. She has a makeshift studio in her apartment and also one at her family home.
She can't cook for shit and is an average baker at best. Sometimes she will stress bake and have 2 dozen cookies with more than half of them rock hard.
She currently works at a museum as a curator all the while making sure the pieces are protected from others who try to pass off fakes during transport.
Obsessed with coffee, will always claim that if she lived another life she'd be a barista has a whole set up with the machine and everything. Is in a mood if she doesn't have her first coffee of the day.
Hello and welcome to the tumblr blog for the Stranger Things Roleplay Discord Server! What a mouthful.
This blog is essentially for managing entry and applications for the discord server I'm going to make for the RP community here to join. As a lot of you know, it's very easy to hit post limit as a RP blog on tumblr, and that's something we won't have to worry about on Discord. Tumblr also doesn't have a group chat feature and Discord is a solution for that as well.
Now, here's a rundown of how this server will be:
18+ ONLY. No minors will be allowed into this server. Full stop. Please do not lie about your age. If you do and mods find out, you will immediately be kicked with NO opportunity for reentry. Ever.
Literate roleplay only. This means writing your thread replies in full, third person paragraphs with proper grammar and spelling. There will be a "group chat" channel where characters can essentially "text" each other in first person. However, for proper threads, no first person or asterisk roleplay.
Each person can have a maximum of one canon character. There are a lot of people who want to be in this server and play canon characters, so letting anyone play more than one really wouldn't be fair.
Dead characters are still playable. We're essentially functioning in an AU where these characters either died and came back (through ooky-spooky Upside Down magic) or had a near-death experience rather than actually dying. You're at liberty to decide how/why your character is alive. Making them undead, a vampire, a ghost, etc. is totally okay.
OCs are welcome. That being said, do not assume a relationship with any other characters without discussing with the writer of that character! That means no sibling/lovers/exes/parents/etc. unless you've cleared it with the person who plays that character. If you play a canon character, you are not obligated to say yes.
If you'd like to change your character a little bit from the canon, that's okay, just make it clear with the mods first. Small changes are fine.
This server will include NSFW. Threads that include smut, gore, death, drug use, or any other potentially triggering topics will be allowed. All I ask is that you discuss these topics with your RP partner before starting a thread. Do not throw these topics into a thread without making sure your RP partner is okay with it!!
There will be both SFW and NSFW channels, so if you aren't comfortable with NSFW, there will still be spaces for you.
If you'd like to play one canon character and one OC, that is okay. Just ask the mods before adding any character(s).
As time goes on, canon characters that haven't been taken will become available to server members. Meaning if we're three months in and no one has picked Lucas, for example, someone in the server who already plays a different canon character would be able to apply to write for Lucas as well.
Underage characters can be written for, just stay out of NSFW channels as those characters. If you write 18+ content as these characters, you will be kicked from the server.
For the love of god, please don't start drama. We're all adults. I don't want to have to manage everyone like you're children, so just... no judgment please.
We'll have activity checks about once a month. If you go inactive without informing a mod that you'll be gone, you'll be kicked to free up that character for someone else.
There will be a strike system for minor infractions; starting fights, posting in the wrong channels continuously, interrupting threads, etc.
Now, as you can probably tell, I've decided that it just makes the most sense if we only have one of each character. I know that's unfortunate and probably disappointing, but I just couldn't really see a way to make it viable to have multiple of one person.
So, if you'd like to apply to be in the server, feel free to fill out the application below and DM it to this blog! Don't be afraid to ask questions, either!
I will make a post to keep track of which characters are taken as we accept people <3 Also, I'm looking for mods! Anyone I interact with often and know I can trust, DM me if you are interested!
[ serkay tütüncü, cismale, he/him ] - was that rami dinler i saw by the lighthouse today? i heard that the thirty two year old who has been in nightrest for seventeen years and works as a unemployed has a reputation of being sympathetic, but also adamant. they reside in stoughton estates & people in town usually associate them with pressed suits, glittering watches, and home-cooked meals. let’s hope the killer doesn’t go after them next.

[ ryan destiny, cisfemale, she/her ] - was that chloe williams i saw by the lighthouse today? i heard that the thirty year old who has been in nightrest for her whole life and works as a model/owner of naiad boutique has a reputation of being ambitious, but also blunt. they reside in ashmore & people in town usually associate them with sketches, fabrics strewn around, a closet of heels, and selfies. let’s hope the killer doesn’t go after them next.
Chloe was born and raised in Nightrest, her parents settling there when they found out they were expecting. The early years of her childhood were full of laughter and love. Their home was always filled with music either from her father playing guitar, her mother on the piano, or young Chloe trying to join in with her singing. She loved her childhood growing up with her cousins in the same town made the place even more special.
What Chloe never anticipated was to question everything the day her mother up and left, no goodbye and a measly apology note. To say it wrecked her father was an understatement and Chloe felt the need to be strong not just for him but for the both of them. She became hardened, if it wasn't her father or cousins she didn't care. A lot of her friends grew tired of her attitude and anger and her circle grew even smaller.
She worked hard to excel in school though her passions lied in fashion. She started a blog cataloguing outfits she wore and pieces she made and as the rise of social media grew so too did Chloe's presence online. She was scouted to do a few photoshoots for campaigns in Boston while she was taking classes. That led to the next opportunity and then the next. She did finish school with a business degree but wouldn't use it as her modelling career took off.
Chloe loved this path and had big dreams about starting her own fashion line that seemed more and more possible. She met a man who loved her drive and almost rivalled it which she found attractive. When their hookups became more and more frequent she found herself catching feelings. The moment she brought up taking things seriously between them was when she found out he was married. Always the one trying to stay out of drama Chloe found herself right in the middle of it. The relationship continued with promises of divorce and sweet talk bringing her down. A year of inconsistencies and lies Chloe finally cut it off, hating the feeling of being the other woman and worse hating herself for being so naive.
As she settled back into a routine, serious about starting her line and scouting for shop space she got a call. The news of her father's stroke had her returning home without another thought. She was back in the town she'd grown up in a place she never saw herself opening up shop. She became her father's primary care taker and didn't tell anyone about his health.
headcanons/connections
Chloe opened up Naiad Boutique to keep herself busy and has been avoiding long lasting relationships given her history.
She's pretty active on Instagram and has brand deals continue on there, has asked friends and strangers alike to take her photo!
She's a good cook but rarely has people over unless they're really close
idk honestly she's open for any and all connects! can be bratty and annoying but when she cares, she cares deep!

PERSONALITY
so in my head I like the idea that draco threw the wand to harry in the final battle, his small act of rebellion in his youth that people could’ve easily seen as a selfish act to save himself.
everything he went through in his youth trying to please his parents and out of fear following the orders of the death eaters and his crazy aunt bellatrix, draco saw the error of his ways but had burned too many bridges.
he became warmer and kinder, he married astoria and built a life with her though they remained isolated and draco had been willing to let the malfoy line end with him. they had scorpius and that’s when his happiness truly began.
astoria would grow weaker over the years but while she remained alive he was warm and kind, embraced a life he’d never seen himself having.
when she died, he became distant. fearing he’d become more like his own father because of the grief and kept scorpius at arms length.
for a brief period he was an auror, using the work as a means of distracting himself but was dismissed when it was clear he was allowing his emotions to take over his work.
he took to alchemy, more so as a hobby while he lived miserable off the inheritance from the father he despised.
has an own named ayla, the child of the owl he grew up with.
on the initial reforming of the death eaters, draco stayed far from it. fearing the very. depths of what they were trying to bring about yet again.
with the death of harry raising many regrets regarding his school life and what astoria inspired within him, draco went to the order in secret; not even his son was aware of his new loyalty. he vowed to be a double agent, joining the death eaters as a spy.
within the two months that followed harry and the ministers death, draco once more became an auror.
okay so I started with my fav, my broken boy !! his personality remains close to canon; I typically enjoy writing him as the more unstable version of himself where he’s liable to lash out and do anything to get what he needs but anyway, everything else shall be below !! ( also credit to this creator for the avatars - https://vocivus.co.vu/post/682525500140306432 )
so his backstory is also canon. mikael despised klaus due to losing freya before he was born and took all of his issues out on klaus because klaus was able to be the son mikael could hate ( even before he knew klaus wasn’t his ).
klaus obviously got worse and more paranoid the longer the mikaelson’s were running from mikael. I feel like the added bonus of the volturi as an enemy and equals in the power the volturi has, only made that worse.
klaus continued to use the dagger as a threat throughout the centuries ( but it is up to the MUN’s of the character’s whether/when it was used ).
I do write klaus as having been in love with tatia, which was why he ended up finding it easy to use the doppelgangers because he could just resent them for that loss but with elena specifically I feel as though he views her contribution as a way to get the power he needs. she’s just a pawn in his game.
plot ideas;
I often have played/like the idea of klaus having fathered a child to tatia but that would be dependent on the tatia MUN wanting to write that plot. I tend to have the child as a npc, that is used in plots with klaus’s enemies as a way to get one over on him. so in theory this could also be with another woman ( it was viking times after all ).
another idea is a witch/witches who are double crossing klaus, possibly working with an enemy to get to know klaus’ weaknesses.
hello everybody!! you can call me ellie, and i’m the mun behind leila here! i’ll be at work during acceptances (cries) so this post is queued, but i figured i’d go ahead and introduce myself and leila as well as put down a few initial plot ideas! i’m super excited to be joining, and i’d love to plot with anyone and everyone! a couple of the plots below will have to do with the locations i’ll be submitting to be added to the page at some point tomorrow or this weekend, so if you’d like more info about them before then let me know! if you want to plot, please feel free to like this post and i’ll pop into your dms so we can brainstorm!!
a bit about leila:
she’s the second child of the former margrave of one of the former territories of etlia (astelle, now called calusia.) she fought on the front lines alongside her family in about the last 4-5 years of the war.
her parents were killed while protecting her in one of the last battles of the war, and leila barely escaped with her life. she basically limped her way around dromare and finally made her way across the river to ganggyn, where she settled under the care of a kind innkeeper on the northern edge of seodal
that innkeeper, cirenne, was a dark mage, and helped leila realize she actually has a bit of an affinity for dark magic, though her class is still archer (for now)
once she had enough savings built up (within the last few months, probably) she set off east, sticking to ganggyn territory for as long as she could until she reached noyillai
since then, she’s mostly been a mercenary or hunter for hire as she gathers information about sarlimar’s school of sorcery as well as the current state of what used to be etlia
her eventual goal is to help organize a rebellion to free etlia from gleerium’s control, but frankly she has zero clue how to do this and is pretty much flying by the seat of her pants. this goal is also a secret -- as of now she hasn’t told anyone about her eventual plans, since she doesn’t want to make herself into a target
some plot ideas!
anyone from etlia! were you a noble? a solider? a commoner? you’ve probably at least heard of leila’s family, and if you lived in astelle you may have even known her personally! she wants to reconnect with fellow etlians really bad tbh, she still feels a responsibility towards them as a leader (even if she never took the title of margrave, she’s always been trained for it since she was second in line)
fellow mercenaries/hunters/soldiers -- maybe you were on a job together and hit it off, or maybe you just kept butting heads -- leila can be pretty stubborn sometimes. maybe you and leila were on jobs that directly opposed each other; one of you could’ve been hired to protect someone while the other was hired to kill them, etc. or you could just be rivals in any other sense!
students at lotus academy or others who are based in noyillai -- leila moves between noyillai, podakko, and zoratori a lot, but she probably ends up in noyillai the most often, since it usually has the most news about what’s happening in the west.
anyone from gleerium or who sympathizes with them -- she honestly will probably hate you on sight. that could be a very cool dynamic to work with!! maybe she actually likes you at first and then finds out you’re from gleerium and does an about-face and suddenly hates you and doesn’t trust you. she doesn’t advertise her etlian heritage to anyone except other etlians, so you may not even know Why she suddenly doesn’t like you. there’s all kinds of potential there!
if you lived in seodal/northwestern ganggyn near the end of the war, maybe you knew the innkeeper who took leila in? the innkeeper herself will be an npc, but the inn will be an open location so anyone could have been a regular patron or employee there, or just someone who lived nearby at the time and witnessed leila show up as a refugee and possibly watched as she slowly started to recover from the trauma of the war.
if none of these strike your fancy then i’m definitely open to brainstorming anything, as well!
wanted connections -- these would require a whole new character to be built from the ground up based on what i have written for leila’s backstory, but i’ve kept most things flexible and am willing to work with anyone who’s interested!
leila’s older brother - i have a lot written about him already, but any or all of it can be changed for the sake of your muse. she definitely thinks he’s dead, so i would LOVE to have someone join as him so we can write about their reunion and everything!
the current duke of calusia - this is the person who’s taken over leila’s homeland, who now lives in her childhood home, and who has “stolen” (in her mind) her father’s lance, which is an heirloom passed down in her family for generations. needless to say, leila despises this person. would definitely be cool to have in the rp!
HISTORY NERD. That's not the first thing you should know about him I guess? but I need to mention it, I need to shoehorn my extensive and growing collection of memorized dates into a character, so, here he is.
I do think the one thing you should probably know is that! He feels extremely guilty over a death of one of his friends. I want to keep it secret for once hehe, hoho, but let's just say that it was inaction that he feels makes him even guiltier for said friend's death than the actual murderer. Yes, said friend was murdered, and Wenzhe is convinced it's his fault. It makes some sense if you hear him talk about it, but I digress. He's one of those super facetious kids who pretend to be dumber than they are, louder than they are, care less than they do. Don't ask him about his gender identity he's not going to LOOK AT IT stop ASKING- He's my latest darling. Pretends to be a fuckboi to cover the trauma.

the mystery retirees try to book a room at a motel in their old hometown for their big annual in-person reunion, but the concierge regretfully tells them they're not taking anyone in right now due to strange happenings bothering the manager. said manager thinks the place is ... haunted.
looks like we've got a mystery on our hands, gang!
&. → daniel gillies : TAKE ME TO CHURCH BY HOZIER ⸻ was that elijah mikaelson walking around new orleans ? word around the town claims that the 31/1000+-year-old original vampire was known to be honorable when they were alive, but have now become evasive. which is why they remind me of ink blots on old letters, classical music & sad eyes that speak poetry. let’s just hope they can survive this time .
so this is the character i’m most excited about writing again, my boy who i’ve written since I started writing. i’ve debated what I wanted to do with him because I’ve done a lot of things in the past plot wise but I settled on something that I hope makes sense and is gonna be angsty to write.
basically elijah stood by his choice to die with his brother, he would’ve rather it have just been him but he could understand and appreciated the development and care it took klaus to want to die for his daughter and wouldn’t take that from him ( I hate that it had to happen that way ).
elijah often saw klaus as a pseudo son or at least that’s how I think he felt in regards to how long he spent being a confidant to his brother and trying to fill a vacant space that was left because of the cruelty of mikael.
now for the plot, he dies with klaus but elijah isn’t with his brother, instead - because of his atrocious acts over the centuries and the way he never fully dealt with them - he went to hell or a hell dimension, left to revisit the monster he’d been, while this may have not been long in terms of his lifespan, it felt like an eternity.
so it’s certainly going to be an adjustment for him being alive and believing he actually is but he’s still elijah in all the other ways, pushing down what he’s suffering with to be the honourable mikaelson: a good brother, uncle etc.
basically lots of angst. I’ll add more as things get plotted !!
