Marcellus from chapter 1 of Thorns of a Rose

[monoman1c]

Father's Ghost. If thou hast nature in thee, bear it not. Let not the royal bed of Denmark be A couch for luxury and damned incest. But, howsoever thou pursuest this act, Taint not thy mind, nor let thy soul contrive Against thy mother aught. Leave her to heaven, And to those thorns that in her bosom lodge To prick and sting her. Fare thee well at once. The glowworm shows the matin to be near And gins to pale his uneffectual fire. Adieu, adieu, adieu! Remember me. Exit.

Hamlet. O all you host of heaven! O earth! What else? And shall I couple hell? Hold, hold, my heart! And you, my sinews, grow not instant old, But bear me stiffly up. Remember thee? Ay, thou poor ghost, while memory holds a seat In this distracted globe. Remember thee? Yea, from the table of my memory I'll wipe away all trivial fond records, All saws of books, all forms, all pressures past That youth and observation copied there, And thy commandment all alone shall live Within the book and volume of my brain, Unmix'd with baser matter. Yes, by heaven! O most pernicious woman! O villain, villain, smiling, damned villain! My tables! Meet it is I set it down That one may smile, and smile, and be a villain; At least I am sure it may be so in Denmark. [Writes.] So, uncle, there you are. Now to my word: It is 'Adieu, adieu! Remember me.' I have sworn't.

Horatio. [within] My lord, my lord!

Enter Horatio and Marcellus.

And here the other two come

Phineas and Alphonse can be friends! They can have a black cat x labrador friendship. Also, my OC, Nilüfer Sultan sees him as her favourite teacher, so they'd make an interesting dynamic

Harlan and Marcellus can be slutty meow meow friends <3

Riddle Era:

Charlotte can be friends with the Rosier twins while Elodie Dubois and Stephen can have a friends to enemies to friends arc, since they hung out in the same circle for a long while

Wilhemine Arcano can be friends with Freddy! They have many things in common and have an interesting dynamic 👀 she's a whole TBD

@endlessly-cursed

[vanillaflowerstuff]

i'm making you look at my new vampire

[clovermunson]

For the alternate ships, Roxie x Marcellus Thorne? 👀

answering as: Roxie Haley

while at first glance Marcellus may not seem to be “my type”, if there even really is such a thing, he is quite an accomplished man; a musician, philosopher, and quick witted with his own fortune and the knowledge of multiple languages. a true gentleman with creative visions— he’s definitely the kind of man i could see myself with in different circumstances.

send an alternate ship to see what my oc thinks about it

[ladamedemartel]

Briefly, Aurora considered snapping each finger off joint by joint when the offending hand grabbed her arm. She could shove them down the young vampire's throat. It would serve the woman right for the series of insults. Really, was this the price meant to be paid in exchange for such technological marvels as internet? Now she had to deal toddler vampires thinking that they could speak to her in such tones? "Darling-" Aurora said, purposefully drawing out the word that the brunette had tried to mock her for using. "If I was trying to rouse you, I would have succeeded." She had plenty of paintings and symphonies to prove her ability to inspire.

"And I already know that you're not one of the most powerful players, I've said as much, do try to keep up. I still wish to know your name. You misjudge me if you think I shall not remember the one that tried to manhandle me." And had insulted her brother, but Aurora left that little piece of information out. Though really, if she was to continue to overlook insults, someone would have to pay for the slights eventually.

With a deep sigh, Aurora forced a smile back to her lips. "Now, please answer my question: does he prefer Marcel or Marcellus? I really do come in peace, but if you continue to be a thorn in my side, I will remove you."

          "darling, i have no idea who that lucien guy is." gia's tone had a mocking note in it and she snorted when this stranger simply decided to storm past her. gosh, she cannot stand such entitled behavior which clearly shows that this one didn't seem to belong to them. in their ranks, no one is so snooty.

         gia didn't waste any time and followed after her before she grabbed her by the arm and therefore caused her to stop. "listen lady, your little one-woman show is really impressive, and yes, i admit you seem to be good at holding long speeches, which are not really rousing but you are not allowed in here. understood?!"

         the brunette let go of the redhead before she positioned herself in front of the other again. "i do not count under 'the most powerful players' hence my name is irrelevant to you. i doubt you would even bother to remember anyway." which already leads to the reason she seemed to be here.

         "if this tristan guy is omniscient about what is going on in new orleans despite the fact that i never heard of that name, why don't you ask him if you're that curious to find out?"

@flarefeu​ asked:

"Though you are a thorn in my side at times, you are still a boy. I cannot keep you chained up like a common beast. Would you like to walk the grounds with me? Enjoy the flowers? A breath of fresh air may do you well."

unprompted asks. // always accepting.

i don’t want to do that, marcellus thinks to himself. he bites the inside of his cheek, annoyed. he still does not trust lysandre -- for good reason, he feels -- but the offer of fresh air is compelling. aside from opening a window, it has been too long since he got a real breath of fresh air. part of him wants to yield to the idea that maybe, just maybe, this is lysandre’s way of trying to show . . . any kindness. no, he does not trust that. lysandre is not kind. he can act like it, but only when he wants something.

i accept your offer, he signs. but i still don’t trust you.

[catohphm]

[hphmmatthewluther]

Character Profile: Atticus Doherty

Born: 10th August 18– (Leo)

Defects: weak legs, no stomach

Style: Victorian upper class, though nothing to restraining, and never one of those foul tophats.

Faceclaim: Cameron Chapman (young), Robert Pattinson (older)

Witchcraft

Wand: Elm and unicorn hair

[The unfounded belief that only pure-bloods can produce magic from elm wands was undoubtedly started by some elm wand owner seeking to prove his own blood credentials, for I have known perfect matches of elm wands who are Muggle-borns. The truth is that elm wands prefer owners with presence, magical dexterity and a certain native dignity. Of all wand woods, elm produces the fewest accidents, the least foolish errors, and the most elegant charms and spells; these are sophisticated wands, capable of highly advanced magic in the right hands.]

 Animagus form: Raven

Patronus: Wild Rabbit

Patronus memory: Celebrating with his sister Josephine upon receiving his letter.

Boggart: Atticus seeing himself without magic and his family shunning him

Riddikulus: Boggart-Atticus performs brilliant magic and turns his parents into Frogs

Amortentia (what does he smell?): Atticus has never smelt Amortentia before (he is open to romantic interactions)

Amortentia (what does he smell like?): the smell of books, candle wax, and a warm mug of tea.

Third year options: Care of Magical Creatures, Muggle Studies, Ancient Runes

Quidditch position: N/A

Relationships

Family:

Eveline Doherty (mother) – housewife, treats Atticus like pondlife

Nathaniel Doherty (father) – High-ranking Ministry official, tolerates his son (barely)

Edgar Doherty (older brother) – Apprentice at the Ministry, has no time for Atticus.

Josephine Doherty (younger sister) – the only member of Atticus’ family who is nice to him.

Dormmates: 

Noah Taylor - @camillejeaneshphm​ 

Danny Gibson - @catohphm​

Lewis Gallach - @nightmaresart​

Marcellus Thorne - @endlessly-cursed​

Anthony Hawthorne - @gaygryffindorgal​

Friends: Elias Quintin ( @amerrymystery )

Bernie Holland ( @amerrymystery )

Fred Graham, a Funny Little Guy who’s a Gryffindor, Metamorphmagus and a dumbass.

Love interests:

Lillian Miller ( @camillejeaneshphm ) - a fellow Ravenclaw who Atticus is drawn to due to her ancient magic granting her the ability to heal. Kind though bookish, the two bring out the best in each other, and not even Atticus can bring himself to be his usual grumpy self around her.

Pets:

Atticus was not allowed any until he received his letter, at which point he was given a Barn Owl which he named Barney.

Rivals:

Nolan Miller ( @hogwartsmysteryho ) (not related to Lillian)- when two arrogant intelligent Ravenclaws are housemates, you’re bound to get some tension. Despite being the more introverted of the two, Atticus often comes out with some pretty interesting ways to prove he’s the smartest.

[deadtime-stories]

I just found the old RP journals I kept from a vampire/urban fantasy RP based in New Orleans that I was in before I went back to school and got busy with a bunch of other things. I actually really like a lot of these vampire characters, and I miss this RP. The plot was that vampires/werewolves/supernatural creatures were hidden in the shadows, until an event in-game called The Reveal when they were exposed to be real. It was an interesting exercise in grappling with the backlash and prejudice a lot of them faced after being found out.

I kind of want to write some small stories for these guys, it’s a shame they’re not being used. I’m going to put all of them here as a note for myself, so it’s a long post. Includes such hits as:

William “Liam” Morgan IV: Recovering drug addict and alcoholic, HIV positive, was living in New York and not doing well. Moved to New Orleans when his estranged grandfather reached out to him, as he was William Morgan III’s only living relative. Cared for his grandfather in his last months, inheriting his house and the small French Quarter cafe he owned, Cafe d’Esprit. Made a life for himself in New Orleans and even finally went back to college to finish his degree in Aerospace Engineering. A gifted human, able to enchant objects for a short time.

Marcello “Marc” D’Angiolini: Orphaned by an epidemic at 3 years old and taken away from his dying town by his 15-year-old (at the time) brother. Dropped at a monastery in Florence to be raised, until vampires targeted it and wiped it out when he was 11. Saved from the attack by his brother, who returned with the band of vampire hunters he’d fallen in with. Raised from then by hunters, eventually becoming one, until a raid on a vampire nest gone wrong when most of them died. Broke off to hunt on his own, started falling in with non-humans, saved from death-by-influenza by a particular vampire who had become a thorn in his side. 461 years old at the time of the RP, a vampire hiding in plain site as a military contractor and mercenary. Usually medicated but does occasionally have a paranoid schizophrenic episode so is not shy about regular therapy. The source material for Marcellus Di Mauro, avid journal writer in Ace of Blades.

Dallas Jackson Sterling: (missing biography; loosely based on the historical figure Dallas Stoudenmire) A town marshal and eventual US Marshal out in the wild west, who met his near-end at the bullet of robbers pulling a heist but was turned by a friend he didn’t know until then was a vampire. Was a small town lawman for a little over a hundred years, then spent twelve years as a member of the United States Coast Guard. After the Reveal, he was forced to register as a Vampire and was discharged while official policy regarding vampires in the military was considered. In the meantime, transferred to the police academy after applying for the New Orleasn police force. Part of S.W.A.T. (Speical Operations Division, Tactical Platoon 1). As a vampire, being much harder to kill than other officers, he serves high risk warrants for violent offenders who are likely to be armed and escalate.

Román “Rome” Kelly: Born in Tuskegee Alabama in 1907 to a father who abused his mother, until she took Román and returned to her native Mexico. Grew up pretty much on the straight and narrow, until Prohibition started in the US and he was roped into alcohol smuggling for the easy money. When Prohibition ended, he stayed with what became El Cartel de Matamoros, rising to the rank of Sicario. He caught the eye of a vampire who was growing his coven, and found himself kidnapped and turned in the middle of a job. Kept a prisoner until he learned everything he needed to know about being a vampire and killing his sire, returning to being a Sicario for another cartel. He kept this position until 2011, when his cartel fell, and became a free agent. Currently dancing around with a human vampire hunter who keeps coming close to killing him but never quite manages. Roman will kill him to get him out of his hair, eventually. Someday. Maybe.

Damian Sauveterre: Born in 1320 in Amiens, France to a prostitute, and grew up doing physical labor for the brothel until he was twenty. He left to travel the coast, eventually falling in with a pirate crew of The Bright Lady, terrorizing merchant ships along the African coast. Settled down with his riches to marry and have children, starting his own business, only to contract the Black Death in 1348. Paid to send his family to safety and stayed in France to die, but was one of the “lucky” people to recover and survive, albeit weak and fragile. Eventually tracked down by a woman he crewed with on the Lady, with an offer to be first mate of her new ship, Black Starlight. He was too weak to do so, but after a night of drinking for old time’s sake he blacked out and woke up a vampire, with no real choice but to join the Starlight’s vampire crew. Had some fun doing it until he left to travel, creating a few fledglings of his own before becoming a treasure hunter. In modern times, at around 700 years old, he’s into “acquisitions” and spends his time treasure hunting for profit.

Shiloh Ravencroft: A mild-mannered sociopath just trying to get by in a neurotypical world. Born in 1799 in Scotland, raised to train as a handloom weaver. His farmer parents saw his academic potential and scraped to send him to St. Andrews University, where he graduated with extensive studies in medicine and chemistry. Secured a position as a long term private physician and tutor for a wealthy family, becoming their daughter’s guardian when her parents died in a cholera outbreak. His charge fell in love and ran away a few years later, only to return shortly after with a broken heart...that no longer beat. Upon learning the truth, that his charge was a vampire and hunters were after her, packed her up and began traveling with her to keep her secret hidden. In Poland when the November Uprising began, Shiloh was unlucky enough to be shot by invading Russian troops and was only saved when his charge turned him. After his charge was eventually tracked down and killed by the hunters, who he barely escaped, he traveled. Over the years he returned to University, updating his medical degree. As of current day, he is the Medical Examiner in New Orleans.

Allen Mazharul Shields: Born in Dubai in 1981 to a mercenary mother who had to put off fighting in protest of the invasion of Iraq due to her pregnancy. With a child now in tow and his Iranian doctor father dead in the skirmishes, Allen’s American citizen mother took him to the Caribbean. Life was only quiet for a short time before his mother grew bored and wanted to go back to mercenary life, and Allen grew up hopping from one rebellion to another, being schooled against a backdrop of war zones. At 14, when his mother realized Allen would soon be expected to join in any fight she brought him to, she dropped him on her sister’s doorstep in Baton Rouge and disappeared back to her chaotic life. Inexperienced in modern life in a relatively peaceful place, Allen was a fish out of water and not at all prepared for American life. He dedicated himself to his studies and became a teacher, where he met and married his wife during a stint with WorldTeach. Settled life in the US with a wife and new son only lasted a short time, before the same boredom that plagued his mother hit. He enlisted in the military and became a US Marine, and was serving a three-week operation when his wife and son were killed in a convenience store robbery. Blaming himself for not being there, Allen didn’t re-enlist when his time was up. He returned to the US, went back to school for a teaching degree, and became a traveling substitute teacher. Work as a nanny fills in his time between jobs. He is the source material for Allen Shields, the Vaillancourt bodyguard and nanny in Ace of Blades.

Thomas “TJ” Baylor: Born Lord Thomas Adam Baylor II in 1758 in Williamsburg, Virginia Colony, the only heir to the Harcourt Earldom. In 1774, as the war for Independence was brewing and his parents returned to England, Thomas stayed in the land of his birth and joined the local militia. To pay his bills, he became the assistant to a local lawyer, and attended the Collage of William and Mary to study law in 1775. In 1776, he put aside his education to join the army of the newly-declared United States, and as a well-trained noble quickly climbs the ranks to Captain. During the Battle of Brandywine, he takes a bullet that damages his lung and leaves him no longer fit for combat, so he returns to Virginia to heal and continues the war as a diplomatic representative to ally nations. Noting his deteriorating condition in 1780, he arranges a marriage in the hopes of providing an heir before his death, but passes away three days before traveling to New York to be married. He’s saved from permanent death by a another nobleman who, unknown to Thomas, is a vampire. He joins this small coven, staying with them on occasion between traveling and changing identities. Thomas’ unlife is spent raising hell in the name of humanitarian causes, as he does the legal legwork to keep faces of rebellion out of jail and on the front lines when he’s not actively protesting. In current day, TJ is a civil rights attorney, general counsel, and a law consultant.

North Dixon: Six-foot-three, built like a god, blond-haired and blue-eyed, North is a gorgeous, divorced Survivalist instructor. He’s also a male survivor of domestic abuse at the hands of his ex-wife, against whom he has an order of protection. Quiet and introverted, with extreme anxiety that leaves him tending to put up with bad situations rather than risk raising his voice. North is visibly the picture of the Ideal Alpha Male(tm), but is a gentle soul who just wants to play World of Warcraft and take his dog for a hike. He doesn’t like alcohol, would rather die than go to the gym, and currently happens to be dating a Wendigo. It was a surprise for him, too.

Richard “Ricky” Roy: I lost his biography, but he was born in Toronto. Dropped out of high school in 1964 to buy a van and travel down to the US with two friends, becoming hippies. Attended protests against unwanted US wars, until at one demonstration Richard got drunk and had to be escorted away by his friends when he started getting loud at police. The tipsy three were jumped in an alley, and while his two friends escaped, Richard didn’t. What he thought was a mugging turned out to be an attack by a newly turned vampire, which ended up turning Richard. His friends couldn’t find him and filed a missing persons report, but he showed up a few days later with his new problem. Rather than turn him away, his two friends started taking turns giving him blood so he could survive. When it became apparent they couldn’t keep up, they started paying homeless kids and prostitutes some easy money just to donate a few pints. Spotting an opportunity, Richard and his friend George founded a blood ring business, paying humans for donated blood then turning around to sell it to vampires who didn’t want to risk hunting for a marked up profit. There was plenty of demand and they had supply, and they got rich from the black market business they still run to this day.

Serafino “Fino” Giovanni: Born in Latina, Italy and immigrated to the US when he was 10. Son of a wealthy, black market arms dealer who was killed in a home invasion a year after their move to the States. Lost his mother and two older brothers in the same event, survived only because he and his twin brother, Sebastiano, were at a friend’s house. The boys’ adopted parents bought them anything they wanted, but their liberal use of the Giovanni fortune rubbed Serafino the wrong way. It wasn’t really about the money, Serafino was a traumatized, depressed kid who couldn’t articulate his sense that his guardians would only tolerate him and his brother being between them and such a fortune for so long. A frequent runaway, at 16 he filed for emancipation but was unable to convince his much milder brother to do the same. While out at a bonfire one night, Serafino fell in with a girl he thought was his age, only to end up bitten and turned. The volatile young woman only stuck around for a week, then ditched him to find her next Interesting Thing. Serafino returned home while his brother was at school, and in an uncontrollable fit of bloodlust--mixed with his growing distrust--killed his adopted parents. After that he ran away, living off the grid for a few months until stumbling across an older, far more established vampire in New Orleans who took him in and helped get him under control. 17 years old at the start of the RP.

Sebastiano “Bastian” Giovanni: Twin to Serafino. More visibly traumatized by his family’s deaths than Serafino, mostly turned inward and ignored their adopted parents’ use of the family money since it wasn’t like money would bring their family back. After the disappearance of his brother, became gravely ill. On his own, he took the medications he was on with him to a trip to the hospital, only to find out what he was taking wasn’t what was on the label. His adopted parents had been switching his pills, hoping to deteriorate his mental state enough to have him declared incompetent and become his conservators, ensuring their access to the Giovanni fortune after he came of age. Bastian cut ties but just wanted the issue to go away, so had lawyer for his trust pay to make sure charges weren’t filed. He went his own way, considering the matter closed, but despite no longer taking his medication he didn’t get better. The unregulated pills he was given did damage to his cardiovascular system, which only grew worse over time. By 18 he was on a transplant list for both heart and kidneys, but when his “ex” adopted parents turned up dead there was no point in pursuing the issue. With them dead and his twin missing--presumed dead--Bastian became the sole heir of the family fortune. The people coming out of the woodwork to manipulate him made him withdraw into himself and spend his time alone. When occasionally checking his bank statements brought questionable charges to his attention--spanning several states, and using his brother’s card--Bastian followed the money to New Orleans where he finally found his brother. Serafino’s adopted sire now has himself the matching set.
