1820s to 1840s Evening Wear - 2 suits
Two little edits of that one beloved Vampires suit, with three things in common: Wide hips, a slightly higher collar, and the same swatches.
From the 1820s until the mid-1830s, the fashionable silhouette for men's clothing was wide hips, a slender waist and full shoulders. This look was generally achieved through padding, corseting, and most of all, tailoring.
In the latter half of the 1830s, this silhouette began to change. The shoulders became sloped, and a "pigeon-breasted" look became more fashionable. Hips were still just as wide and the waist just as narrow. The 1840s look was, of course, also usually achieved through unnatural means.
Basically: V1 is this 1820s to mid-1830s look, and V2 is the mid-1830s to 1840s look. V1 has puffy sleeves while V2 has sloped shoulders. V2 also has a slightly fuller chest.
Swatch 1-48: Tie and vest in white, suit in many different colors.
Swatch 49-60: Suit in black, tie in white, vest in various colors.
Swatch 61-65: Suit in black, tie in black, vest in a few different colors. These are intended to be mourning swatches.
Both are BGC!
Both have the same 65 swatches
All LODs (except LOD3 which refused to cooperate with me, so it's the LOD3 of the original vampires suit)

20 December 1815
My dearest Sonya,
You must be terribly bored at home—this I have understood! I have decided that next year, should you neglect to respond to this letter, I shall visit you myself, out of the goodness of my heart. But enough ultimatums, for that is not why I have written to you today.
Yes, you must be terribly bored, and so am I, to tell you the truth. Would you believe I miss my days as a lieutenant? I'm sure you would; I remember last year you told me you envied me. I could return to the army, but I fear it would not be the same. So I sit here, wilting away in boredom. Perhaps I should go to Petersburg after the new year. At least I have friends there.
My brother and his family have come to visit us for Christmas. They arrived only today. Andrei is much the same. His hair is longer just as his face is older, but that is where the differences end. I've had no reason to miss him, as he has written to me nearly every day telling me something new about his little son, and the older one, the stepson, as well. The boys seem quite unused to old houses like ours. Little Andryusha is constantly carrying his brother around, showing him every room of the house. I only hope he does not cause too much trouble with the servants.
My sister-in-law… you know Sophie, and you know my thoughts about her. There is no need to tell you of that.
Do you know, I believe she is making Maman age far too quickly. To think such a girl could steal an eldest son away from his poor mother! Taking advantage of her beauty, which has only grown since 1813, mind you, only to rob an angel like Maman. She causes me such anger, that vile, cruel Sophie.
My sister has been in a wonderful mood, not a tantrum in sight. The girl loves nothing more than the sound of her own voice, so she is quite happy to have more people with whom to speak. Normally, she only has Sasha and I, and I'm sure we are far too dull for her tastes. Little Vasya can speak of anything—anything, I mean it!—for an exceptionally long time, enough to melt one's ears off. I believe her next victim will be Andrei. The only person who has been spared is Tolyenka, who is still too young to entertain her.
Ah, but I do apologize. It seems I have turned this letter into a diary of sorts. I will still visit you in January, but until then, consider this a farewell. I won't bother you with my letters anymore.
Your loving cousin,
Nikolai

Shortcomings: Has frequent headaches, loses focus at times, not very confident when it comes to taking a decision, becomes absolutely dependent on his superiors
MOODBOARD:
PERSONALITY:
Myers-Briggs Type: ISTP (The Virtuoso)
Is aware of his surroundings: Because of his career as a special agent, Bell conceals himself in terms of his personal life in seclusion. Even knowing he's hunted everywhere, he intelligently makes himself invisible from the outside world which makes others difficult for him to locate or recognise.
Works in solitude: Vasili/Bell has always prefered to work alone, but it doesn't mean he doesn't mind going on missions with the team. But, as his habit of being a special agent, that trait normally came from him back in his days when he worked with the KGB.
Observant and intelligent: Vasili was able to survive any sort of situation because of his good observant skills, and his capacity to act quicker. He was able to learn a lot of languages as well, and posed himself in different identities, that made it harder for the intelligence agencies to track him down.
Is reserved and introverted: Bell really doesn't speak to anyone much, unless when it comes to planning or going for missions, he needs to form a sort of communication to keep it lively. He is seen being more comfortable with Mason and Woods, but never felt having a good vibe with Adler. It was odd on his part, but it was going to grow very obvious when the truth would have come closer to any minute.
BACKGROUND STORY
Bell, who first used to live under the identity of Vasili Sokolov, was born in a family who had an army background, where his mother and father, both served during the Second World War, and hearing their stories, it gave Vasili a motivation to support his parents legacy by joining the intelligence — which was the KGB, going under the codename "Crow".
THE KGB ARC [REDACTED]
When Vasili joined the organisation, he showed a remarkable performance as a special agent. Some say he was born to join the intelligence and make the country proud, or he was a gifted child who could learn anything quickly and successfully perform a mission by stealing info or destroying any plans that could harm his country, without any failure. He even pointed out possible mistakes while planning out a mission, and in the end they worked out efficiently. Alongside, he made himself a friend, whose name was Dimitri Belikov, and grew closer to each other and worked together as a team.
Sooner or later, Vasili's influence spread all around the world, especially during the Cold War, the enemies of the Soviet Union had a kill/capture on him. "Kill" because Vasili knew too much about them, and "Capture" because, they wanted him to tell everything he has with him, which likely created a risk for the KGB and they couldn't do so. With that, General Anton Charkov gave him the order to "retire" and stay hidden to protect himself along with the organisation. Disappointed, Vasili protested that it was the only thing that "kept him going", but having no choice, the agent decided to leave the KGB, under the General's orders.
PERSEUS ARC [REDACTED]
It was a matter of time, when one was going to collect him instead, realising he was now no longer affiliated with the KGB. Vasili was met with someone who called himself "Perseus", and requested him to join his alliance, since he knew about Vasili from his influence, and promised to give him full security, knowing he was hunted worldwide too. Seeing that as an opportunity, Vasili agreed to join in good terms, directly becoming Perseus's loyal agent.
As he continued his journey in the faction, he had shown his skills again which made Perseus as his most trusted agent, unlike the rest. But, at times Vasili has shown inner conflict towards his ideas. During the moment when he was explained about "Operation Greenlight" with the members, it left a strange feeling within his heart. He tried to protest, but he somehow couldn't refute his superior's words, and decided to acknowledge instead. Vasili had kept showing a remarkable performance, much to Arash Kadivar, one of the faction members, being envious of his relationship with Perseus.
Kadivar lures him to Trabzon Airport, where he takes Vasili, and explains that he didn't want any more "competition", resulting in him shooting the special agent in the car he was present in, leaving him to die and bleed alone. But, sooner or later, an attack situated on the airfield, unbeknownst to the dying Vasili who was growing unconscious every passing minute. Growing lost in his own thoughts, about Perseus that promised him to give him protection from the outer forces, but didn't recognise that his "own" people were against him too, as he questioned his existence at the same time.
SAFEHOUSE ARC
The voices echoed, and the man started to lose his breath.. until he woke up, and found himself in a strange place, where he couldn't remember anything of what happened. This is where, he encounters Russell Adler, a CIA agent who he curiously looks upon, having no idea. Unable to introduce himself, Adler briefed him about his name, being it under the codename "Bell". And this is where, all the very events of the canon game begin from here.
