CHRISTMAS IS ON ITS WAY!

It’s almost that time again, Krovs with Christmas and winter holidays right around the corner. Both the castle and town have been decorated with Christmas trees, wreaths, garland, and lights to help bring out the holiday spirits in everyone. With the drop in temperature summoning snow and ice it’s truly beginning to look a lot like Christmas.

Instead of one party hosted in the castle, the council has decided to go with a “Christmas Festival” theme for everyone in Krovs Castle and Krovs Town to enjoy once again.

The castle will be serving a buffet dinner in the decorated ballroom with all sorts of cultural delicacies provided by the councilmen for castle residents early in the evening before traversing down to town. Villagers in town can volunteer their restaurants and bars for their own unique celebrations and parties serving holiday-themed drinks or meals for those who don’t want to cook their own. Krovs Town’s park will transformed into a quaint “winter village” decorated in snow-covered trees and fairy lights all around with ice skating and shop vendors selling sweets, hot chocolate, jewelry, art, and other trinkets and knick knacks for business promotion and extremely last minute gift shopping. Romantic carriage rides around town with heated and open compartments with blankets for passengers drawn by horses and drivers are available along Oymyakon Street and Market Square.

On behalf of the council, we look forward to celebrating Christmas and the New Year with you!

DRESS CODE

This is up to each individual character! Feel free to be as formal or as comfortable as preferred given that there is no official singular party this year. However, all residents and villagers should abide by the preferred dress code set by the holiday hosts in town. Naturally, holiday-themed attire is highly encouraged all around. This could mean anything from ugly Christmas sweaters, business casual or formal or playful suits in Christmas color themes, and/or sexy holiday-themed costumes.

Masters, staff members, and villagers all have the luxury of choosing their own outfits for this event. Unclaimed slaves will have attire chosen for them by the castle while claimed and purchased slaves should rely on their masters to supply them with whatever dress code standards they prefer for their claims.

Event outfits should only be posted once the event begins.

Our Christmas Festival event will begin at 12PM EST on Monday, December 23rd. This event will be a “two-parter” with Christmas ending and leading right into another week-long event celebrating New Year’s Eve from December 30th until January 6th.

Magnai Khasar | Master | 265 | Vârcolac (Alpha) | Top

“What you allow is what will continue.”

Magnai’s strongest memory of his childhood was how it ended: bloodied, shivering, surrounded by the corpses of nearly everyone he’d ever known - and one man who walked amongst them who could not die. That sight rooted itself deep in the young wolf’s psyche and he abandoned without hesitation the faint blur of what life he might’ve had if such bloodshed had never come to their land. For many years, Magnai was just another thin orphan tailing a war train. It took time to understand that there was a war at all and who it was being fought for and who against, and to learn to call the untouchable figure that so compelled him ‘vampire’. 

It was a long war. Opportunism and pure fortune allowed the lone werewolf to survive long enough to become useful to the army sweeping over the northern lands, dedicated to all the petty acts of maintenance that kept such a machine running. Magnai crept closer and closer to the man that dominated his thoughts, seized his chance and approached him alone on bended knee to beg for the gift that would make him, too, untouchable. He was still young, scrawny when he was at the age to grow muscle, dirty and calloused from following the march on bare feet, but there was a zealous desperation to him that must have caught his future sire’s eye. 

Their commander made it clear to his ward that he had no love for his kind; werewolves were primitive creatures, slaves to instinct, worse than dogs who at least could be trained to take orders and trusted to protect their masters. Magnai could not be trusted, not unless he showed himself to be better than his kind. Thus, he was granted the chance to prove he was worthy: endure ten years in their band, train and carry himself with humility, serve without argument, and the bite would be his. With the fervor of one who had no other choice, he agreed. 

In hindsight, Magnai doesn’t begrudge those hard years. They gave him discipline, drive, taught him even better than orphanhood had what it meant to endure without. The purpose behind the vampires’ grand crusade sharpened into focus and he took it into his own heart, as deeply invested as the other undead lords that strode in and out of his commander’s tent as the war went on. The terms of his bargain had a funny way of changing: ten years turned to fifteen as a precious territory proved stubborn to conquer, six already served were docked from his tally for alleged poor conduct. To stave off his hunger, Magnai was rewarded with a precious compromise: the boon of his commander’s blood. 

Magnai had grown into a formidable warrior and with a vampire’s healing to supplement his own, he was capable of enduring intense punishment on the battlefield. But it made him erratic too, vicious, easier to punish. The years blurred by and slowly Magnai began to see the trap that had been set for him past the red in his eyes. Yet he still could see no way out of it, not when he craved his reward even more strongly for knowing the next time he raised his weapon could easily be his last. A deep bitterness set in, chilling his fervor for the man who had entangled him. He began to form his own strategy, his own understanding of the men fighting at his side. 

The war was not ending swiftly. Magnai’s commander was pushing ever north, set on a distant castle belonging to their foes. The fae and their allies no longer met them in grand battle that season, but had gone to ground during a long, snowy winter, attacking erratically, impossible to pin down. Magnai was granted his wish suddenly and impersonally; he became a different tool in his sire’s hand. A new creature was unleashed into the frozen woodlands of that hostile region, to either hunt or die and Magnai remembers little of what followed his transformation but the ecstasy of the feast. After uncountable days he came back to himself under a waning moon, drenched in gore, and returned to his master like he always had. 

The vârcolac’s rampage had scattered the pockets of fae resistance, flushed from their holes like panicked rabbits to retreat and exposing their positions in the process. Magnai dared to imagine his success would grant him higher status in his sire’s eyes, but when Magnai rejoined the fold he found nothing had changed. The briefest recognition was offered and brushed past, no matter the respect now grudgingly given by his peers. Once Magnai had repaid his commander for the years the vampire had clothed and fed him and trained him, he was told, he’d be perfectly free to leave. Magnai’s bitterness crystallized into a colder hatred then, soothed only by the fact that he had finally gotten his wish. With the war concluded, his final years served, he would have nothing else to tether him there. Until then, his conduct would not falter. 

It ended inevitably with the taking of Athizia, the stronghold that would become Krovs Castle. Their commander had been long fixated on the castle and he would be struck down taking it, one last disillusionment for Magnai as he watched the man he had once seen as a god prove as weak as the rest of them. His loyalty to what he had envisioned though was still firm - and well known. When the dust settled Magnai was given the role of Enforcer, the first of many, and accepted it without complaint. His decades of servitude granted the vârcolac no special empathy for the ones who found themselves enslaved to the undead. His sire was ash, but the lessons he imparted remained: discipline, respect, the natural laws of hierarchy. In this manner, Magnai served out the last of his years owed to the man and then resigned his post without a backwards glance.   

In freedom Magnai dedicated himself to aiding in the capture of the last fae veterans who found themselves trapped by their closing portals. He would see the war finished in its entirety, the dregs gathered and disposed of, and when he deemed the job done he slipped easily into the hunter’s life. Though decades stretch between Magnai now and his life as a soldier, the habits have not easily died, nor have the beliefs carved into him by years of conditioning, and though an equal amount of time has passed since he carried the Enforcer’s title, he still finds himself drawn back to the castle time and time again - just to make sure the old heap of stones hasn’t fallen for good in his absence.

Negative Traits: Inflexible, demanding, insensitive, zealous

[krovscastlerpg]

Valentin Alejandre Bernal Socorro | Council (Spain) | 2,242 | Versatile

“Why am I listing what needs fixing when God won’t operate?”

Valentin was born human during the Roman conquest of Spain circa 218 BC in what would now be known as Barcelona. He would have had a normal childhood if the constant threat of Romans invading his village wasn’t looming. He trained as a warrior with his father and brothers to try and protect their little life but all it succeeded in doing was make him a bigger target when the Roman legion marched in. He fought long and hard until night fell. Upon the resistance fell a darkness of the likes Valentin had never before witnessed as creatures with fangs who feasted on the bodies and blood of warriors wiped them out like a wave. Valentin fought hard and it was a Roman general who took notice of his prowess and singled him out in the bloodshed frenzy.

What would become Valentin’s sire thought it would be the ultimate punishment, a gods’ given joke, to turn Valentin and take him as a slave of war and make him fight for Rome for eternity. Valentin didn’t have enough strength to fight him off, to even fall on his own sword before the bite was given and the blood of his sire forced down his throat. Valentin suffered the turn and manic with the thirst, was turned on his own people at the behest of his new sire, delicate mind directed to devour all in his path.

The aftermath is something that Valentin will never forget. He will always remember being soaked in blood as the remains of his village was ransacked while the legion marched on around him. He had failed to protect them. He had failed his siblings, his parents. Valentin was a monster. The sun began to rise and once the rays began to touch his skin, he felt the burn of death. It would have been welcomed but his sire found him and threw a heavy cloak over him to prevent him from turning to ash. Valentin was then taken and collared, constantly at the whim of his sire and now his master and General.

Valentin was forced to fight for the Romans by night as they conquered Spain. He hated what he was and what he was being forced to do but he was patient. He stayed close to his sire and gleaned any and all information that he could from the elder vampire.He learned the languages being spoken, learned how to be the best monster that he was capable of. Valentin never abandoned his hatred but he played his game well and rose from slave to free man from his service and ‘loyalty’ to the empire. He would never forget the conditions he had to endure, from being starved to being abused to being forced to do acts he will never speak of. The years passed and the Roman Empire grew and grew. It took numerous battles to prove his ‘loyalty’ but Valentin finally earned the trust of his General as was allowed to earn his way to being a free man. He did so, patiently. Valentin lay in wait until it was his moment to strike and the moment the collapse of the Empire was imminent, Valentin was not hesitant to switch to whatever side would ensure their fall.

But wars never stop. The First War came upon the world swiftly and deftly. Valentin was bid to fight for the vampires at the behest of his sire. He did not want to. He was done. But using this as an excuse, he was able to turn on his sire and behead him during a fray. As his ‘trusted’ fledgling, Valentin secured himself a spot with higher powers to take his place so he would be given his beloved Spain to protect. Nobody would ever touch his country again. Even during the second war, Valentin did not want to fight but again threw his hat in with his species so he would be given a place to protect what was his. He was very outspoken against the slavery, having once been a slave himself. The decision was overwhelmingly for the enslavement of others however and Valentin, not wanting to be cast out, begrudgingly agreed to terms so long as he was on the Council for Spain to advocate for slaves’ rights and treatment. To this day, he still doesn’t agree with keeping slaves but it’s a necessary evil for him to remain a shield for Spain.If there ever came a chance to destroy the council and free them? A real chance to win? Valentin would fight for it. Until then, he will lay in wait.

Valentin spends a majority of his time in various cities in Spain but he splits his time with Krovs to that he can keep an eye on council happenings. He has a modest suite inside the castle for extended stays and is very much of the opinion that he needs to keep eyes on his fellow councilmen. He doesn’t trust easily, even after all this time, but he finds kinship in Gideon Rechter as they both were slaves themselves once upon a time. Valentin, despite his wariness of the way other councilmen act when slaves are concerned, is patient and willing to talk and listen. He would rather talk than fight.

Positive Traits: Level-headed, observant, puts others before himself, patient

Negative Traits: Sarcastic, stubborn, does not trust easily

3 turn-ons: his partner enjoying themselves, humor, vulnerability

3 turn-offs: scat, dub-con, restraints
