Some rules, expectations and stuff
Current mood:  adored

Louis is a complex character and I play him to the best of my abilities and with the utmost respect for his creator.  I have read the books up to and including Merrick.  I am well versed in the Anne Rice Characters.  Although Rice saw to have him resurrected and heightened, I do not emphasize those traits in my writing.  I do play him physically strong with enhanced senses and intuitive but, he cannot read minds, fly, set you on fire etc.  I leave those powers for the ancients to enjoy.

Many see Louis as a weak, whimpering poor excuse for a vampire.  I do not play him as the brooding, feeding on rats, crying over his lost mortally portrayed in the movie.  If that image (which by the way is a very short scene) is stuck in your head please leave.  I will only allow such arrogance from a VERY GOOD Lestat.  Why?  Because I know Lestat and the love hate relationship the characters share.      

I keep it canon but am open to playing with non-Rice characters.  Regardless of what character you portray, I expect for you know my character.  I can assure you that I will study your bio, look at your pictures and read your bulletins. 

Here are some character traits to keep in mind as we play: 

A loner to a degree. 

Religious but questions his faith.

A lover of beauty in nature, creativity and above all mortals.  

A romantic and emotional nature (not to be confused with boy toy or emo)  

He can be a vicious killer (that's right.  He's a vampire.)

A pondering and questioning mind.

He does not trust easily.  Trust must be earned and I assure you if it is it will be eternal, even if we go our separate ways (properly of course).  Yes, it happens.  Nothing lasts forever. 

A current day plot will have Louis assimilated in everyday life (butcher, baker, candle stick maker...all depends on the collaboration).

Role play in general:

I am a para/novella writer.  I make an effort to spell and grammar check.  I appreciate the same effort from those I write with.  

I have no problem with sending the starter.  Just ask and give me time to look at your bio.

Not the fastest writer in the role play realm.  If you can't wait then don't play with me.

Don't hesitate to message me with any questions or concerns.  I can't read your mind.     

In closing I'd like to say that writing should be a joy, not a chore.  It is an ongoing learning experience and sharing through role play can be very rewarding.  The ability to inspire a co-writers creativity is a thrill.  If it's not fun, respectful and productive, it's not worth the effort.  I thank my mentors for their patience.  I have learned more from them than any instructional book.  And, thank you for taking the time to read this. 

NOTE: Not RolePlaying at this time.
