Intro: Lestat de Lioncourt

[exquis]

Hello all!
You may know me as Vanished, the person who plays Ronan Lynch (burningdream). I'm so looking forward to all the adventures we will weave now that I've got Lestat up here too! Feel free to drop me a line if you have any specific threads/situations you'd like to explore!

Oh boy, Wolf will loooove another vampire to make scary faces at...(Spoiler: No, he won't. :P ) Welcome aboard~ (Again!)

[exquis]

Hahaha oh my! Thank you for the welcome :)
It's interesting because I actually pulled Lestat from a point in canon where he isn't yet turned. I intend to apply later to update him, make him become a vampire and face all the ensuring tragedy hahaah. Perhaps Wolf could be the one who does it?? One day....

[afterthefire]

lol. Wolf is an OC vampire and his canon is pretty damn cruel, so turning Lestat might be messier than you want. ;) We can definitely talk about it, though, if you want! I'd have to talk to the mods to see if it's even possible in the City, because Wolf's version of vampirism requires the new vampire to be pretty completely dead...it could definitely be interesting, however, and in any case Wolf isn't a bad guy. He would take a new vampire under his wing.

[exquis]

Wow, so Lestat would have to get himself into some trouble then, hey? In order to end up basically dead, so that Wolf could work his magic on him. Unless it's Wolf who gets the person into this state (you did mention his method of turning is pretty violent) Well, that would be awesomely dramatic ;) Hmmm, yeah, I think I checked and it is possible if I applied, but I'll have to double check!

[sleight_of_fate]

No worries, I can chat with the mods later but the option is there. Wolf was an "emergency" turn, as he was dying of pneumonia when he was turned, so it definitely is possible, especially with an old/potent vampire like Wolf! It just requires a lot of time and attention. We can definitely ask the mods if you're interested, I can toss it over on Plurk if you like!

[exquis]

Sure! It would be good to get the information ahead of time! Keep me updated :) I don't want to turn him for a while because I think it would be more interesting if I did once he has a strong community here. More to lose, more to complicate if you know what I mean ;P

[sleight_of_fate]

Just so you know, I'm still here, waiting on a response from the mods! I did send in that question, though, so as soon as I have a response I will let you know. :)

[exquis]

Okay, no problem :)
I'm in no rush for the turning, but it'll be awesome to hear if it'll be possible. In the meantime, could you tell me a bit about what kind of vampire Lestat will become? His specific powers and limitations, that kind of thing?

[afterthefire]

Sure. You're still sort of looking for trouble signing on for my insane homebrew, buuuut...

As a baby vampire, Lestat will be pretty much comatose during the day. He can wake up if he has to but he'll be mostly useless. The City might affect that, too.

He'll need to feed pretty much daily to keep from going into bloodlust. He'll be hungry and moody and everyone will look delicious. Fresh human blood is best, but he can also drink packaged blood, animal blood, or even blood from the butcher shop to take the edge off. His bite is narcotic, and he has a hypnotic gaze to help with hunting. He'll also be stronger, faster, and tougher than humans, though he'll develop more as he ages. At first, it won't be quite so much.

Wolf is from an old bloodline, so Lestat's powers might be random. Wolf can actually turn into a wolf, for example, which isn't a common power, but another ability could turn up at random.

He will burn on holy ground. It's not pretty. He'll also sink in water, because of his body density and lack of air in his system. So he can cross running water, it just sucks because he'll sick like a cinderblock. Some legends have truth to them.

Lestat's reflection would still show up at first, but as he gets older, depending on how much of his humanity and sanity he retains, it will start to fade. Or, if he loses his sanity right away and goes berserk, it will vanish completely as his soul shatters. This is the ugly part: It's Wolf's responsibility to watch over Lestat for his first few years, and kill him if he goes insane. Sorry, Lestat. :/ However, Wolf is a very responsible vampire!Daddy, and will do things like give Lestat his own blood and stalk him to make sure that he doesn't go revenant and start murdering indiscriminately, and Wolf has already gotten two vampire children into their thirties without going crazy, so that's a good sign?

Just as a heads-up, Wolf's species has been deliberately designed to be brutal and unpleasant to start, so...don't feel bad if this doesn't sound like much fun, but let me know what you think!

[exquis]

Hahahah oh my god, I see what you mean now about it being an insane homebrew!! I like the sounds of it though. I think that the only issue might be that this would take my Lestat, who is currently from canon, and not only switch his canon point, but also switch him into being an AU Lestat. So if the mods agree to that, then that could totally work. Are you at all familiar with Anne Rice's vampire lore?

[imaginationswoes]

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY
I am excited.

Can you tell?

[exquis]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

Just a little bit. Only because I'm equally so!!

[imaginationswoes]

YAY!

Lestat is awesome. :)
