Character name: Lestat de Lioncourt
Character journal: marquisdemort
Series name: Interview with the Vampire (2023 TV series)
Canon notes: The Thing Lay Still, episode 7, season 1
Species: Vampire (formerly human)
Age: 180

Arrival Condition: Poisoned/very unwell, but with rest/blood he will recover

History: here

Personality:

Control is important to Lestat. The control he exerts over himself, over others, over his food...it's all about maintaining an image that Lestat has crafted for himself. When that control slips or is challenged, Lestat's more sadistic side emerges. If things don't go his way, or someone doesn't bend to his will he will lash out, both with words and with physical violence, often akin to a temper tantrum.

A narcissistic man, Lestat has very little issue with lying, manipulating or otherwise holding himself to a different standard than the rest of the world. He wishes to be allowed to carry on affairs, but despite claiming to allow Louis the same freedom he stalks his partner and later screams and berates him over how it's different. Theirs is a toxic relationship, one where Lestat exerts control over Louis through abuse and manipulation. Their little family is not the bandaid for their poor relationship Lestat had hoped, and Claudia too faces his verbal abuses and manipulation, more openly than Louis.

He sees the majority of humans as nothing more than food. Animals. Maybe good for a bit of amusement. Music can elevate a human to something more in his eyes, though he is very critical.

He enjoys the thrill and spectacle of the hunt. He embraces what he is, and feels no shame. He believes the others should feel the same and is annoyed by their morals. Lestat enjoys toying with his meals, and can be quite cruel and sadistic.

In his romantic pursuits he does not see himself as cruel or in the wrong the same way he can acknowledge this in his treatment of humans. Lestat truly believes that he has given all of himself, and that their's is a romance for the ages. He believes that they can be happy again.

Abilities:
Powers:

Living off blood, increased speed, increased strength, ability to fly, ability to read minds, ability to control minds, ability to freeze time within small pockets

Will require some amount of mod nerfing or death intervention to prevent him from slaughtering the whole of the cast, while still allowing him to feed. ie: if he bites/harms an unwilling person he is blinked away like a weapon would be, but if someone agrees to be fed on it's allowed? Thoughts?

Weaknesses:

Sunlight, fire, dead blood, trying to control too many minds at once causes weakness and blood loss

Skills:

Chess, Piano, Violin, Acting, Fluent in French & English

Personal Item: Record with Lestat's recording of his song for Louis


Sample: TDM

Question

[trpmods]

Just for clarification, we would direct you to the Bloodvine in Sh'Ka. Would this be a viable solution for him to be directed toward or would you still wish to discuss the questions posed here? The blood is not technically 'dead' as it is harvested from animals and stored as fresh 'fruit' on the vines for its own long term use as food.

[marquisdemort]

It would definitely work, however Lestat enjoys killing, so would not willingly chose to live off of the bloodvine, or even animals unless his hand is forced in some way. I will make sure he doesn't slaughter the game, but having a mechanic in place that isn't just his morality or sense of restraint will be needed, lol <3

[trpmods]

So sorry for all of the delays on these responses. As the Agrii are not fond of He Rows attacking one another once they figure things out (which would probably be a bit into the first attack so make sure you get some player consent on that first and most dangerous meal), he can enjoy some time out by being dunked in the fountain. He will probably after that need victims to specifically say out loud to the Agrii that they are consenting to helping him and this is okay and how long of a bite they will accept.

If he violates more than once he might get to enjoy the broken Sh’Ka fountain instead.

If this is amenable let us know.

[marquisdemort]

Yes this is definitely amenable.
Will Lestat be given notice that he needs to get consent or will he need to work that out for himself? Still good, regardless of the answer :)

[trpmods]

This will be something he needs to work out. Perhaps other can even help explain it to him.

ADDITIONAL NOTES

Given the nature of what Lestat is, as well as his powers, we will require you make one additional post on your character journal. This will be a specific Opt-In post, using the language you desire, to allow people to actively opt-in to being used for blood as well as being affected by mind reading/control. This must be separate from the permissions post and it must be easily found. We will still encourage check ins with specific instances of things like really deep dives into thoughts or mind control that may cause someone to seriously endanger themselves, but we ask for this post to ensure the most clear delineation for yourself and others.
