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.

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?
