Spoiler: Refrence

• Archard has a long, oval face with soft and curvy features. He would have long protruding lips and a set of well kept teeth. A pair of slim deep set eyes. marked by a set of straight and fairly bushy eyebrows. He would have a very soft and round chin along with a pair of large ears, pressed in towards his head. His aquiline and slightly lifted nose would have a long, thin scar across it from an unfortunate accident. Archard has a fairly long neck with a very prominent Adam's apple and an unusual birthmark would show behind his left ear, taking the shape of a poorly drawn heart. His jaws are perfectly aligned with each other and he has round chin but fairly straight jawlines. The man has softly protruding cheekbones and tends to wear a hint of make up to cover the bags under his eyes. His usual resting face consists of a stern, yet wondrous set of eyes and a cocky smile. Whether the smile is intentional or not, he doesn't really know, it was a habit that kinda just grew on him

• His body build is rather slim and most of what muscle he has is centred around his legs and lower torso making him a more adept acrobat and sprinter. He also has very high finesse and elegance in his movements, having great motor and limb control. His vampirism does his condition even further good. His entire body would look pretty straight at first glance but upon closer inspection his shoulders would be a bit slimmer than most males and his arms are long and far below average in terms of strength, while his legs and abdomen are obviously stronger by a tad. As mentioned he has a pretty strong lower half compared to the rest of him, and tends to utilise that to its utmost potential for fast getaways in the form of sprinting and quick wall step-ups. Archard only has a small amount of body hair centred around his upper legs, and armpits, otherwise he is pretty smooth all over. Once, during a fencing competition, Archard was cut across his face and kicked off the plateau, sending him into a five foot drop and dislocating his left shoulder. This has caused more heavy weight tasks to become more painful and difficult, such as lifting large objects and pulling things by tow.

• Archard tends to wear the previously mentioned suit but will go to even further effort on special occasions to retain his respect and honour. He wears white silk gloves with patterned frills around the wrists. When it comes to Jewellery, Archard only carries a silver band with golden patterns of a snake chasing it's own tail around his finger.

• He usually speaks with a strong Ithanian accent and certain ithanian words here and there. His tone of voice is usually pretty well spoken and he tends to utter his words perfectly except for the accent. His tone is fast and confident and he will rarely slip up. Another thing about his speech is that he rarely stops to hear what other people has to say and will almost always break in if he feels that he needs to say something, immediately feeling that whatever he has to say is ten times as important than anything else. It can come off as very rude and annoying. He speaks fluent Ithanian, Common, Leutz-Vie, and Alt-Regalian. Mind you, all of his languages are with a heavy high-class Ithanian accent and some struggle with various consonants.

​

Personality traits

• First Paragraph: The first impression of Archard would probably differ depending on his interest in you. He might approach in one of three ways. A flirtatious manner, in which he compliments and soothes the person until he can get close enough to manipulate freely or feed. There is a joking manner, in which he berates or attempts to manipulate the persons emotions in a blatant and mocking manner, purely for his own entertainment or to start a situation to incriminate them, or there is his more reserved and calm approach, usually reserved for business matters or serious situations. Despite his dark sense of timing and humour, he has a very keen sense of situation and can read a room of people almost naturally. This makes him very apt when it comes to playing a crowd out against each other or trying to instil some drama because he can sense the tone of the room more intricately than most. Nearly all of his interactions and decisions are based on how much entertainment they provide him. He constantly seeks to occupy himself and takes great delight in things going his way, sometimes even if they don't. If things aren't going the way he wants them to, he will often times try to leave with a bored expression.

• Second Paragraph: Archard believes in all actuality, that he is superior to all others. Not in that he is stronger, or better learned. He can respect and acknowledge that he is weaker physically than most others, and that he is not as learned in certain topics as others may be. However he still maintains the idea that he is worth far more than anyone else. He has long-since lost the ability to empathise with anyone but himself, his vampiric infestation has also dulled many of his other emotions, yet he remains very apt when it comes to faking those emotions to better emulate a crowd. Despite that, he is very self-aware of what he can and cannot do. He knows not to challenge people physically, but to manipulate others to do the things that he cannot. He is the king of the chessboard, in his world. Deep down however, Archard feels very disturbed with the things he has done. He doesn't realise it himself but his inherent vampiric cynicism helps him cope with his actions and lifestyle, hence he doesn't realise that he actually has any regrets.

• Third Paragraph: Whatever friends or family he holds, are always a temporary measure for him. He can appreciate keeping different types of people around to better suit his needs, and to help him excel where he cannot on his own. He is able to hold any true care for only very few people, and whatever lovers he has had, were merely playthings. He will usually extend his love to the person whose abilities are the most precious to him at the time, because love is a form of manipulation that can deny rational thinking. Something which he frequently exploits to himself. Especially when feeding, which he does almost exclusively on females.

• Fourth Paragraph: Archard's morality is best described as a Neutral Evil. He does evil deeds, not because they are evil, but because he wishes to do so. He carries out his desires relentlessly and pursues fulfilment wherever he goes. He can also perform good deeds, but rarely for the sake of doing good. Everything he does is in his own favour, or he won't do it.

Spoiler: Fifth pharagraph (Optional.)

​

• Fifth Paragraph (OPTIONAL): Archard imagines life as a long corridor. Miles wide, and miles long at its start. In the end of the corridor, a bright alluring light shines, and every man and woman are stumbling towards that light. But as the corridor progresses, it grows more narrow. Disputes occur, people are pushed and shoved, entire wars are fought. And the closer they get to the light, the more chaotic the masses become, knowing that not everyone could fit. The light is whatever is happiness to the person reaching for it, and Archard has accepted that true tranquil and happiness cannot be achieved, and so instead of walking with the masses, he is sitting at the other end of the corridor, observing the mindless masses, whispering in the ears of by-passers to orchestrate the chaos in his favour. He finds himself on both sides of the corridor, because he believes he has attained the true way of existence, and so in his zealotry, he is in several places at once, having achieved a loose form of omnipotence. That is how Archard views existence fundamentally. He sees himself as the only person to be able to fit through the end of the narrow corridor because he isn't trying to get there. Some meta-physical nonsense that only makes sense in his own head.

Spoiler: Relationships (Optional)

​

Friends :

• Dauce Reginald Ludwig Fleurance @Kosen : "The eternal father." Dauce Reginald is the varlord who sired Archard. As his progeny, Archard both loves and respects Dauce and has spent many years in his company. He sees him as a figure of knowledge, wisdom, and strength.
• Kristoph van Vitchen @Kosen : "We disagree on very few things." A fellow vampire that he often congregates with for refreshments, dinners, and schemes. Archard naturally feels a bit competitive of him but otherwise he is one of the people he gets along with the best.
• Bram Eversnow @BrammekeH "Respectable lad. He should care less about others though." Archard was introduced to this elf a while ago by Kristoph with some underground businesses. He grew to take a liking of him especially after he sustained him in his time in Fort Kronau. Without him providing him blood, he would have had to kill someone, most likely blowing his cover.

• Teresa Grimald @hetalianpasta : "I wish more women were like her.. Ah and those curls." Another Ombratore was introduced to by Kristoph, he is currently still a bit suspicious of her and doesn't dare to get too involved with her until he knows her better, however he is definetly intrigued by her charme and considers he an ideal partner, not only in crime, but in love as well.
• Veronique Durarante @SpamanoRelic : "Her person intrigues me. In more ways than one." Archard met this woman not too long ago and while his original purpose was to feed from her, he was astounded by how alike they were. And upon having a taste he also discovered to his excitement and displeasure(for his taste buds) That she too, was an Ombratore.
• Alexander d'Ortonnaise @Mr_Ortonnaise: "A friend of good value to have at hand." Alexander and Archard met at an advertisement stand. They made good first impressions, and Alexander seemed to take a liking to Archard for his core ithanian heritage.
• Haelmir of Catlanio @Battlebrawn : "Decent man. Decent values. Not so decent manners." Archard considers Haelmir more of a friend than an acquaintance. They aren't exactly chummy, but he definitely does not consider him an enemy, despite their previous run-ins.
• Taliandra Jouhari @Katiesc : "She is certainly entertaining to have around." Taliandra has served Archard many times in the Falcon's nest, which Archard frequents. He enjoys her appreciation of his humour and her cheery personality.

Neutral :

• Kristoph Ardelan @XPONCEFTWX : "If not for the current political scene.." While Kristoph might be more of an enemy to Archard, he cannot help but like the man.
• Moji Shimizu @Athelois : "Small stature. Great aspirations." Another individual that Archard has met at the Falcon's nest. He appreciates knowing her, and certaintly wants to get closer to befriending her, mainly due to her status in the slums.
• Camilla Moreno @Ailethi : "A hint of cherry with a delightful aftertaste." Former "blood donor" of Archard's, the ithanian made prey of this woman for a while, coming to delight in her taste.

Enemies :
Settimo Revello @ZiggyStarDusted : "Pft.. How vexatious." Archard preyed on Settimo's partner over a longer period of time until their confrontation, in which Settimo drenched Archard in holy water and Archard cut some tendons on his leg. The ithanian is generally annoyed with the man's interference with his feeding.

​

Childhood-Adulthood.

Archard Fleurance was born on a warm summer night in the high courts of an Ithanian aristocrat 220 AC. He was schooled and taught from birth, taught in all from language to academics. This bored him however, and he frequently left the bounds of the family home to spend his time on more frivolous pursuits. He became the black sheep of the family, but gained a reputation in the nearby city. His father tried time and time again to correct his son's behaviour, while his mother was off somewhere else most of his youth. Alas his father's efforts were to no great avail, as the more he pushed for Archard to behave, the more Archard seemed to stray from the beaten path.

Adulthood-Now.

Eventually his parents decided that it was time for Archard to move on with his education and to try and temporarily take on the mantle of House Head. For the next two years Archard would rule the lands with his mother as a close adviser to him. Archard excelled in matters of diplomacy, blackmail, and the twisting of words. He resolved conflicts over grain, but mainly started conflicts of which he would profit, and did it all from behind the curtains, putting up a thick veil of lies to cloak his mischievous endeavours. He relied heavily on advisers to keep him from making false political moves, but the scheming and ruling, eventually began boring Archard once more. It was around the end of Archard's temporary tenure, that a younger sister was born. She grew up to be more abiding and calm than her brother, who had strayed back to his old ways. His parents adored his younger sibling, scorning Archard who eventually, whether out of jealousy or interest, began a political scheme of his own. He lobbied with some individuals in the Ithanian courts, garnering political power behind him anonymously. It turned out that a lot of ithanian lords and ladies would grant great favours for steady deliveries of high quality narcotics, which was luckily one of the many things the young man had acquainted himself with, during his teenage years. He continued to gain experience, influence, and blackmail on seated politicians, nobles, and other powerful individuals in the region.

He later married the daughter of an influential ithanian noble woman who was friends with one of the princesses governing the region. Everything was going smoothly for Archard, until one night, when he was traversing the streets and a group of north ithanian wine merchants came along. He had a couple of drinks with them and ended up spending the night with a young black haired woman in the group. After they had had their little bout, the woman fetched them drinks, Archard remembered nothing after that. After the vampire had had her fill of the young man, she poured her blood into his mouth and then left him in the bed until the next morning.

The sickness that ensued the following days eventually turned the young man into a vampire at the age of thirty. In an early blood frenzy, he ended up feeding on his own wife, causing her to bleed out and die. Realising the gravity of the situation, Archard bought in whatever favours he could to gather a sum before disappearing, destroying all traces of his whereabouts.
For the next three years he would travel Ithania, eventually ending up with the only group of criminals that matched his required minimal of luxury, a vampire coven. A vampiric aristocrat that ruled an obscure sanguine court in an vast underground tomb. His once great political high-class influence and underworld activity had caught the attention of the aristocrat who took a certain intrigue in the young man. He brought him into his fold as his progeny at the age of 27.
Archard eventually was reunited with the black haired woman who turned out to have been an emissary of the varlord, with his eyes on Archard.

Since then Archard began to realise that time was no longer of any essence to him, and his god-complex like habits began to take form as he realized his apparent immortality. He spent a good many years learning the customs of the dorkarth desprinces and the vampiric political system.

Despite the scandal Archard had still managed to secure a larger inheritance sum when his mother died under the guise of a false family member and with a small judicial and economic scheme. He later left on his new father's recommendation and travelled north to the vampiric state of Dorkarth to experience true sanguine culture. Archard purchased a small mansion in the dark land, from the territory of his vampiric father's acquaintance, establishing himself as a reputable land owner for a time He acquired a small host of followers after his "winery" became a huge success in the nearby city. He experimented with mixing different types of blood, spices and actual wines for different tastes and made great profits for his efforts, even having other "products" imported from other countries, for greater variety of taste. He spent the next couple years there before he eventually got bored. Archard saved a human slave, siring her as his progeny and allowing her to manage his lands while he was away. His curiosity and boredom eventually drove him to Regalia, where he resides to this day.

whoever gets this, I applaud​

 

Fixed <3

 

Whoops! I was supposed to delete all of that Turall stuff soz. xD
It missed me.

 

Peer review response :)

Basic information.

• I made a few additions there, but for the time being he doesn't have any perticular goal. I very much doubt that most normal people don't plan out all their life goals and exactly where they want to go. He has a direction to follow, and it might become clearer to him later.
• That was a mistake on my part, shouldn't have been there. I won't answer more of the questions regarding Turall as it wasn't supposed to be there in the first place.

Visual information.

• Nice link, I didn't know it was a thing. But I kept it for technical reasons. Better too many details than too few.
• Yeah I fixed that in the app overall and he isn't strong in his upper body anymore, focusing on the speed and agility of his legs. I don't know where you saw that he doesn't do much excersize, because that needs changing.
• Absoloutely nO clue why I wrote that. Much of this is from the old app so it's awhile since I made it.
• Yeah, I have no clue why he would've been taught elvish, so I removed that. And I fixed "Regalian" to common, my mistake :P

Personality traits.

• I made Confident a positive trait and fixed it up :)
• Secretive is fine in my opinion.
• Removed BOTH Sadistic and Romantic as it didn't really fit the way I'm gonna play him now.

Strengths and Weaknesses.

• I merged the two, kinda.
• Removed ADHD, it did seem a bit incompliant to his character. It was replaced with "Stressed" which you can read above.
• Removed low Endurance and replaced it with "Long-Sighted" (Gots to tink of guud ways to play dat out now.)
• Removed his musical expertise.
• Kinda the same with this. Adhd was removed so no problem anymore.
• ^^

Life story.

• Archard wondered that too, he had it explained but I guess... Find out IC >:)
• The blood itself gave him a few diseases along the way and if it wasn't for his vampirism he would suffer from frequent kidney failures and the like, but the thing was kinda just to signify that he had a somewhat messed up upbringing, while he might not realize it himself. And they didi t obviously because they were both Ombratores, "preparing" their child for the family business.
• Well. He got off with the majority of the savings of 3 influential crime lords. I think that much money is fair to have taken. Find out IC for more info on the gang-war really. I plan to write some lore-stories on it but it was basically just a bunch of sabotaging and guerilla warfare. And it is largely because I want to play him as- not a noble, but more so a very wealthy commoner. He doesn't care much for responsibilities in lands and people, so titles do not appeal to him.

I think that wraps everything up. Thank you for this, it helped a lot :D
@deadfoe51

 

1. I fixed some of the grammar, though as long as its readable I dont think it matters much if I missed a couple signs and mispelled a couple words. But yeah, I think I corrected most of it.

2. I rewrote that part kind of. But while it is generally a find out IC thing, I will explain it. The "Wrong gang" they messed with was infact the Ombratore Society and the man took interest in the boy, having had a few reports regarding his actions. He managed to find him again and just wanted to make it look a bit convincing that they weren't specifically out to adopt him. He was adopted because his upbrining would supposedly make him more adept in the backstabbing culture that the vampires live in.

3. Removed basically all of that vampire war, I realize now that it was just me high on too much energy drink and about 10 episodes of Code Geass.

 

Made a large overhaul and update.
It is best just to re-review the entire application.
Most changes were in updating of the format.
Adding school of history.
Expanding and editing the lifestory a bit.
Adding and removing some strengths.

 

Bottom of the lifestory.
Marked in red

 

Did a few couple of changes to the char with some of the new statesmanship schools

• Archard is now expert Subterfuge school.
• Aged him up to 41 to fit it better.
• Completely rewrote his backstory to better suit his profession.
• Nothing much has changed besides that.

@Rochelle_

 

Fixed some spelling errors and it lost its approved tag

 

Sorry, this is not something I usually like to do. However, after conferring with a few of my friends, and looking into myself, I came to the conclusion that I only made those changes after being stoked at the new statesmanship schools.
Therefore I have reverted him back into what he was before.

• Changed his backstory into its previous version, though with varying changes.
• Changed his skill section back into History - Scholar.
• Aged him down to 32 again.

I hope these changes are acceptable, sorry to be a bother.
