+1 baby vampire

[lilredvamp]

Hi everyone! I’m Devi and I play baby vampire Jessica Hamby. She was only 17 when she turned, and her current vampire age is roughly 2 to 3 weeks old. That’s right, she’s practically a newborn! Unfortunately she never had the best vampire role models around so she never learned how to be a responsible vampire until someone gets killed. But that’s just how it works in vampire societies.

Vampiric issues aside she’s a sweet girl. She’s super empathetic to people who endured abuse (as it reminds her of her own physical, emotional, and religious abuse in her human life) and once she’s friends with your character she’s ride or die, even to the point to facing the sun.

Though True Blood is an absurd show that’s all about gore and tits, it touched on a lot of sensitive subjects. On Jessica’s side there’s the abuse I’ve mentioned, but there is a lot of mention of hunger and eating disorders, but with an unusual twist. In True Blood “mainstreaming” is a vampire’s way of avoiding drinking from humans and instead drink TruBlood, a synthetic blood drink for vampires, though in the show mainstreaming had parallels of promoting abstinence. As Jessica hated the taste of TruBlood and prefer to feed on humans, this tend to get her in a lot of conflicts. Being vampire who is barely learning how to curb her hunger this will come up a lot.

That said, feel free to PM with this journal or add me on plurk! I’m over at devimelete and while I don’t plurk everyday I do read plurks and reply more often.

Hello Devi, I'm Jhey, welcome to the game! I have two horror guys here: Edward Little from The Terror and Konstantin Veshnyakov from the movie Sputnik. I'm canonblind, but loving all the vampire shenanigans we've got going around Milton, and definitely need to toss my guys at her sometime!

Edward is a Victorian naval officer who does not handle The Horrors well but tries his best... He's ended up as the Hapless Nanny of a handful of young people and it would be extremely funny if he ended up nannying an actual baby vampire, that would be a new one LMAO.

And Konstantin is a commander cosmonaut from the early 80's, who ended up with a gnarly alien parasite that is here with him in game, and some of his associated symptoms here can seem a lot like vampirism (namely that he's having to consume blood to keep it fed...) He's dealing with a lot of "Just Became A Monster" upsets and how to adjust to this new lifestyle of his, so he can absolutely empathise with "fellow monsters". It's an angle I'm extremely interested to explore in him, so I think they could be interesting cr as well!

Oh I love The Terror so much…those boys…the drama…the scurvy… everything about it. Poor Little having to nannying Jessica who has the explosive temper of a teenager with the predatory instinct of a vampire make quite the combo. But she also thrives under positive reinforcement so it’s like 50/50 of how overwhelming she can be.

And she can totally be cool with Konstantin. She can sympathize in learning a new life while not knowing how it works.

Hi, Devi! I didn't get her app in on time, but I was the Maddy on the TDM. Jessica seems lovely! I'm looking forward to seeing her around.

[lilredvamp]

Oh hello! I loved Maddy in the time we RP. I haven’t watch Euphoria but I have seen the Oklahoma bathroom scene on social media, which about killed me.

I've watched the first season of true blood and it was WILD, i should honestly pick it back up--hello and welcome to the game! I'm Chase, I play Heartman from Death Stranding who is a weird scientist from a post apocalyptic universe, and I also play Holland March from The Nice Guys, who is a private eye from the 70s. I'm excited for some CR, I look forward to tagging you!

[lilredvamp]

Hello! The second and third season are equally fun as they focus on the town, but the later seasons a little…give or take lol. So it’s mainly why I took Jess from the second season. Can’t wait to play with you!
