Now that you've had a week to plan, this is the official role call post for the AU. Please reply to whatever header your character is included in with a summary of their role in Portland, with your character's name in the post subject. You can just copy and paste summaries used in the plotting post if you like, though for the same of mod plotting I would ask that you name and bold any of the following in your descriptions:
Organizations: If your character is in a group or organization of any kind, please bold it! This will be important for the dispensing of IC clues and NPC attention.
NPC Connections: If your character has a powerful NPC of any kind that they are connection to, please list and bold them. The mods will be writing some of these NPCs into the metaplot, and we can't do that if we don't know they exist!
Meetup Points: If your character runs or is affiliated with anything that could be considered a supernatural hangout, it would be useful to make them easy to find, for the sakes of people who want to know what kind of places will be available in Portland for their characters to hang out.
Confirming your concepts in this post is not mandatory, but I would super appreciate anyone who does. If you do not reply to this post, your character will not be tied into the metaplot. Additionally, I will give everyone who does reply a +2 AC point bonus to their next activity check, per character they reply with.
Lars is a vampire who was turned about 2 months ago by random assault. As soon as it dawned on Lars that he was undead, he started to spiral in existential crisis, as is his won't to do. So Lars dropped out of highschool maybe 2 weeks later, and ran away from home; his parents are probably still looking for him. Lars was homeless for about another 2 weeks, surviving by feeding off of random small animals—which made him feel terrible. He can't get the gumption to feed off of a human, and can't shake the guilt when consuming things even as small as rats. It makes him cry and feel like a monster. Also, rats are gross. So Lars has taken to feeding on reptiles; he got a particularly nasty bite from one that resulted in a scar over his eye (the swipe from the snake dragged down his face and didn't properly hook into his skin). How extra, I know.
Lapis found Lars while he was bumming around because he attempted to steal her snake with the intention of killing and draining it. She kicked his ass, then took pity on him, because it was clear he was the most pathetic vampire in existence. She denies his supernatural qualities, which works great for someone as cagey and self loathing as Lars. So he lives with her while they both pretend he isn't clearly a vampire, and he occasionally steals a jar of blood that she claims is for art or some other freaky gross esoteric thing. Lapis freaks him out. This has been going on for about 1.5 months. Lars works graveyard at a shitty Dunkin Donuts to pay his half of the rent and sometimes bums around Axel's music store.
Lars is not a healthy looking vampire, and when pressed will just bitterly and dryly joke that he's a meth addict. Hooray!
Other little extraneous details aka I'm tired and lists are easier: - Lars babysat Steven a few times before he went missing - Lars is very weak, so thematically, remains useless - Lars used to be Lauren's classmate and they were invisible losers. At some point, Sadie not being a thing in this universe?, Lars's dam of loneliness and confused teenaged sexual frustration cracked that resulted in Lars making out/fooling around with Lauren at school shortly before he dropped out. THE SHAME RESULTING IS PROBABLY PART OF THE REASON HE DROPPED OUT. A larger percentage than what makes sense in comparison to turning into a vampire. - Lars also kind of longs for his sire, but has no idea where they are and they don't seem to give a shit about him or else he would have some sort of clue. Just a ceaseless sense of yearning for someone he doesn't know/ruined his life............. - possibly met Ginko while being homeless a few times - dumb and scared
