Are we acquainted enough for you now, or are you gonna keep me here all night? Arrested Youth - What You're Made Of Alias Red Name Adam Collier Age Forever 22 Gender Male Species Vampire TopBottom Switch DominantSubmissive Switch, could be swayed to lean more to one side of the spectrum depending on the amount of bloodplay involved Appearance Standing at 5'8, Red lean and fit having average muscle-mass. His skin is a borderline sickly pale white, occasionally making those who neither know him or what he is concerned as to whether or not he should be working. His hair is styled much like in the reference above, though is actually typically longer and is half shaved on the left side, that side being black. Normally, his eyes are a golden brown, kind of like honey, however there are instances where his eyes turn a brilliant red--his eyes haven't been blue since he was turned into a vampire. His fangs are not his canines, and instead rest up in his gums think of Supernatural, but with two fangs instead of an entire mouthful . He doesnt have much in the way of tattoos, though he does have one on his chest that resembles this one . He also has multiple piercings, each one colored black a stud in the each side of his nose, a snakebite on the right of his lower lips consisting of small hoops, one bar above his left eyebrow, two piercing in his left ear with three in his right ear, and finally a stud in the middle of his tongue. His style of dress is all-in-all a punk, nothing more and nothing less. His signature jacket is black leather with a bit of studding around the shoulders and stops just below mid-stomach length, with a phoenix design on the back colored in the various hues of red, orange and yellow. Abilities For normal skills, Red knows more than a thing or two with a saxophone and a guitar, and knows how to play piano. Whether or not he likes to admit it, he also knows how to dance as well--mostly ballet, to be more precise. For supernatural skills, he can turn his nails into small yet sharp claws at will. He does technically have enhanced healing and super speed, but there is an issue with this that will be explained in the roleplay. Occupation His main thing is working as the bartender for his own bar, but often tends to take commissions online for digital designs and animations and various other forms of art. Personality Red is hard-headed and headstrong. He hardly gets along well with most others of his kind aside from few exceptions and it's very common for a fight to ensue because of it even though often times he's sorely outmatched it requires very special circumstances for him to turn tail and run instead of fight. He hates the way most others of his kind behave, he hates what they do. He hates himself for what he is and he doesn't keep it a secret. He can't stand the way he needs the life force of others for his own survival and to be completely honest he's disgusted with himself and deep down he's terrified and it brings him down just thinking into it especially when it comes to his past , he's just real good at not physically showing it. But Red's not all hateful, spiteful and filled with self-loathing. He is quite the spitfire and will never let someone just walk over him without some form of snarky comeback with a pinch of sass sarcasm is basically a second language for him. And although he's a little brash and seemingly prickly, he's actually pretty easy to make trustful and more friendly. He's got one squishy heart so to say, and it's not at all difficult to make him lighten up around someone unless they have proven to be a dick. He can be quite the dedicated and loyal friend, and he'll sure as shit take more than just a punch for someone. Though it is a little bit more difficult to get with him relationship wise, as that would be when he becomes a little more reserved and made uneasy, even though he tends to occasionally flirt back when he's able to recover from someone who isn't a drunkard or creep actually outright compliments and flirts with him. Bio Red is the oldest of four children, his siblings being three, five and ten years younger than him. Following that order, his siblings are Matthew, Katie and Lily. He was just like every older brother, caring and protecting over his younger siblings. Was he irresponsible? Oh, plenty of times, and there were more than enough instances where he caused trouble. But that didn't stop him from taking care of his brother and sisters. As they got older, the more he would do for them. A bully harassing one of them at school? He would get involve and teach them a lesson. A bad break-up happened? He was there as a shoulder to lean on and as the muscle to beat the snot out of an ex-boyfriend or two. Not only that, but he was there to encourage and get involved with each of their interest band with Matt, dance with Katie and furthered music in the form of piano for Lily. Art was his own interest, along with English and History. He was pretty much the definition of a grade A student aside from the troubles he would occasionally cause, always getting good grades. Then once he graduated, he wound up moving just a few hours away to attend college, majoring in different Arts and even Mythology. That covers Red's school and family ties. As for relationships, there's not much there that's meaningful during his high school years. While he'd had a girlfriend here and there during that time, none of them ever went anywhere and he'd never slept with any of them, considering the relationships themselves never lasted long and he wasn't about to make some high school mistake. Though when he got to college, he wound up meeting someone. It was his second, to be more precise when the other man had transferred school and everyone around them would swear that it was a match made in heaven. They couldnt have been more wrong even if they tried. It all happened so fast in Red's eyes he'd been stupid, gone out to some frat for the first time against all better judgment. Drunkenly he left himself open and defenseless, easily lured by his charmer of a boyfriend right into a den of vampires. He distinctly remembers how it felt, the first bite feeling indescribably wonderful and then it being near instantly washed away with each bite of fangs that sank into his body. It was a distinctive feeling, the hands molesting his body while his life was drained from him until he was barely clinging to the faintest shreds of life. And the change itself was horrible, the unforgettable taste of the vampire blood being forced into his system and the agony of his body's organs slowing til they worked at just the slightest fraction of a normal person. His heart near stopping of the worst of it. The hunger that ensued almost instantly was unlike anything Red had experienced and he hated it. He wasn't given a choice and was unwillingly integrated into the group of vampires. He had next to no time to grab sentimental items before he was being carted off a few cities over where everything was just awful . He was relentlessly pressed into doing everything vampiric hunting, stalking, feeding...he couldnt bring himself to do any of it. And worse yet was how his now ex boyfriend the one who played back him for a fool and turned him tried everything to get Red into his bed, whether he was willing or not. It didnt take much for Red to quickly decide to get the hell out of dodge, leaping for the chance to leave the second he got it and moving to the opposite side of the states. Last edited Jan 14, 2021
