[OOC] Dance in the Night - A Vampire Society Role Play

[Trinais]

@ViolentViolet
A number of factors, but could be boiled down to three:

1.) Time. I just didn't have enough of it to invest in long term projects and have a social life.
2.) Mental Health. I'd trigger these immense highs while writing stories, and then when I finished a draft I'd crash for days and revisiting what I wrote made it worse. Part of the reason I needed medication to function every day. For whatever reason my happy pills kill most of my creative drive too.
3.) Poor planning. I can usually write through "Act 1" with any story I worked on and then I hit a wall. Couldn't keep the plot or action moving, even when I had an outline to work with. Also, couldn't bring multiple characters to life.

@Trinais
Ah. Sometimes it just doesn't click for people. Not everyone can write all the time anyway. I never had a social life so writing and role playing is pretty much the only thing I ever do anyway. I'm still kind of terrible at it though lol

[Celaira]

@Trinais I dunno I never took my stories very seriously. They were my way of dealing with stress and bullying, almost like a journal I guess. A journal of worlds I wished existed.

@ViolentViolet I didn't have any friends that didn't write in some manner. Be it stories, or poetry. I was both lucky and unlucky in that respect I imagine.

[ViolentViolet]

@Celaira
Almost no one I talk to has any interest in writing. Though not very many do much reading either.
I have shitty friends.

[Celaira]

@ViolentViolet All of the friends I had pretty much ditched me once we had graduated high school. Only one that came looking for me was Arista.

Also, just to clarify the reason we call each other sister is because we've known each other for nearly 10 years. We're more family than friends at this point.

[ViolentViolet]

@Celaira
Ah makes sense. I'm not even out of high school and most of the people I used to talk to have ditched and/or replaced me with a girl more willing to sleep with them.

[Celaira]

@ViolentViolet I never had that problem with the guys I hung out with because both they, and their girlfriends (if they had them) were my friends. The guys I hung out with saw me more as sister, which I was cool with because it meant we could talk about stuff that they would otherwise feel uncomfortable with.

The girls I hung out with, though, they were pretty normal in terms of how they tended to be. There was a lot of gossip, bullshitting, and whatnot. Most of them were pretty cool, allbeit hard to deal with at times. Two of them have a child by the same dad, which I find slightly amusing.

[ViolentViolet]

@Celaira
Most of the guys I talk to don't really interact with a lot of girls that are a) not total hoes, or b) actually into nerd stuff. So considering I was one of the few options they ran into they tried even though I had a boyfriend but most of them gave up at one point or another. Actually, one never really tried until he broke up with his girlfriend - she hated me a lot anyway lol.

And I don't talk to girls outside of the internet.

[Celaira]

@ViolentViolet Yeah, I'm one of those people that didn't really discriminate on who I chose to hang out with as long as they were nice to me. Being bullied makes you not as picky gender-wise when you're looking for friends, I've found. I tend to mostly hang out with guys online, finding girls somewhat more bitchy on the internet than the ones I dealt with in real life. I maybe have two or three girls I actually enjoy talking to outside of this site.

Looking back, I guess I should have been a little more choosy. Hindsight is twenty-twenty after all.

"Living in the Night is easy. Living in a Shadow is far more difficult."


Name:
Prince Lucius Alexandros Juran

Age:
99

Sex:
Male

Sexual Preference:
Heterosexual

Vampire/Human/Slayer
Pure Blood/Aristocrat/Turned

Family:
Older Brother - Matthieu
Younger sister - Viridiana

Significant Other:
None, however he is interested in Viridiana

Gifts:
Hunter's Eye - Lucius can see his prey's heartbeat, blood flow, breathing, and body heat and is able to track them, even through walls. Essentially giving him almost x-ray vision.

Wings: - While unable to transform into a bat, Lucius is able to grow a set of large bat-like wings in order to fly.

Personality:
Lucius is a very serious man, almost to a fault. Having lived all his life in his brother's shadow, he has always tried extra hard to win his family's respect and attention, resulting in a rather stiff, no nonsense personality. He's also madly in love with his younger sister.

Biography:
Coming into the world a mere two years before his sister, Lucius was always closer to her than his elder brother during their childhood. However as he began to get older he started to understand that the difference between him and his brother was more than just age. Matthieu was the family heir, while he was just the second son. Even his beloved sister would one day be Queen, and this point was the hardest for Lucius to accept. Lucius had long held a deep affection for his sister, one that had gradually grown into love, but every day people talk about her marrying Matthieu and, despite Lucius' loyalty to his family and his bloodline, he can't help the feelings of resentment that lurk beneath the surface, and the fear that he might one day have to watch, smiling, as the girl he loves marries someone else.

Extras:
N/A
