An independent & selective portrayal of JASPER WHITLOCK from the Twilight series penned by Train (30s|They/Them). This is a depiction that is removed from its canon due to inevitable divergence and disinterest in sticking with SMeyer’s content. I am at my core — and have always been — a hater, so this is a very anti SMeyer space. I treat the source material as if it were a horror story so uncomfortable topics will appear on this blog.

I DO NOT avoid Jasper’s time in the confederacy nor try to rewrite or rework it (ex. write him as a union soldier), I just try to do all that actual character work SMeyers is allergic to. Meaning that while Jasper was a confederate the course of his life has lead him to regret that and hold his old ideology and similar ones in contempt. I’ll extrapolate elsewhere but here’s your heads up.

Themes + Inspirations: They Things They Carried, Piranesi, 30 Days of Night, Dragon Age (1 statute and 1 person’s oc), Sinners, Atun-Shei Films, The Magnus Archives, Weird Fiction, Control (of the Self and Others), Empathy as Healing, Empathy as Horror, Sandor Clegane, Rogue from the X-Men, Mike Flanagan’s body of work, Exploration of an Alien Nature, Philosophy, Compassion, Violence, to be Cruel and Kind, Old Dogs Learning New Tricks, Greco-Roman Statues

I ask that in your replies you give me some kind of information about your muse’s emotional state. This can be in the text itself or in notes in the tags, whatever works best for you, but as Jasper an empath I need to know what the vibes are pretty consistently so I know how it’s effecting him and plan his responses.

Rules + Character Bio & RP Notes below

I take some of my cues from this reddit post so credit to the author. Jasper was from a poor subsistence farming family. With very little real education and no real chance to expand what he had, he believed what ideologies he was told. He joined the confederacy at 17. He wanted to get the salary for his family and believed the confederate talking points about how freed slaves would make it impossible for poor whites like himself to survive. He worked very hard to make it to the rank of major in part because the salary was just so much better (around $150 a month in the 1800s — about $3,500 now). Once confronted with the realities of war and the ugliness of the attitudes of the South, he hit the same kind of crisis many soldiers have. He grappled with it immensely until he finally found a course to use all his skills and wiles to do as much as he could to protect, deflect from, or aid all innocents/noncombatants regardless of race or creed without getting court-martialed or outright shot. At 19, in 1864 he met María and was turned into a vampire and was “conscripted” into the vampire wars raging across the Southwest states and Mexico, which he felt for a while was well earned punishment for his time in the confederacy. Then it just all became about survival and serving María. He stayed on as her second for almost 70 years before he finally broke, he couldn’t take the conflict between his own hyper-violence and his empathy anymore. He lived with Peter and Charlotte for a while after this as a nomad trying to pull himself together. Jasper came to the animal blood diet on his own — it was a last ditch attempt to do something that would make his life livable. If it hadn’t worked he would have done everything in his power to end his own life. He still meets Alice in 1948, though they are not a couple, and starts to live with the Cullens as he hopes that their influence as others on the diet will help him as he works on deprograming from his time in the wars and trying to retrain himself to be less dangerous.

Height: 6ft3in Hair: Dirty Blonde, wavy to the shoulder Eye Color: Brown (human) | Gold/Red (vampire) Faceclaim: Austin Butler Sexuality: bisexual This is THE MOST IMPORTANT to me — JASPER IS HEAVILY SCARRED. My guy is sexy vampire sandor clegane okay. His neck is a 360 degree ring of bite marks that reach up to his jaw and down to his shoulders and I mean it’s THICK IT’S A GENUINE DISFIGUREMENT. His whole body is COVERED in bite, slash and reattachment scars — the more likely to get hit in a fight (arms, legs, etc) the more coated in scars. The least scarred places are probably like, his face (which DOES HAVE SCARS!!!), scalp and ass or some shit. But yes, when supernatural types with that Good Eyesight™ they are met with a very jarring sight. Humans are only going to really notice his scars if touching him or seeing him in highly contrasting light, however they would notice the unevenness of the outline of his neck since it is missing chunks which is why he tends to wear shirts with taller collars like flannels or turtlenecks. While he’s working very hard to change how he interacts with the world Jasper mainly sees things through the lens of conflict, strategy and potential threats. He weighs things on how much of a danger they are to him/his loved ones and is inclined to eliminate even the slightest threat. This can cause him a lot of emotional turmoil as he increasingly cannot stomach the idea of hurting innocents but will still do it if he feels it’s necessary regardless of his own feelings. Jasper can flip from being one of the most warm, friendly, understanding human-esque vampires around to a totally cold, alien creature of pure violence at the drop of a hat and sometimes the trigger isn’t always obvious. He’s working on it. Jasper uses Witlock whenever possible as opposed to Hale or Cullen — the last he actively avoids using. He DOES NOT LIKE BEING CALLED “MAJOR”. It's a GREAT way to piss him the fuck off. If people call him some epithet from his time in the wars it’s more likely something like “The Soldier/El Soldado” or “The Butcher/El Carnicero” and if they’re being a real cunt something like “María’s Dog”. Reminding him he was in the confederacy is just a great way to start shit. Of the Cullens, Jasper is closest to Rosalie and Emmett (his One True Bro). His relationship with Alice can be complicate/depends on the other side and he is… Not Edward’s Biggest Fan™ (I’ve read Midnight Sun and man… yeah if I was an empath I don’t think I’d wanna be around that much teen angst for like 50 years lol) . He is however very protective of all the women in the family, especially Esme. Jasper is on good terms with María, their relationship is very complex and loaded but by this time in his life he’s cool with her. He was absolutely in love with her and that is part of why he stayed fighting for so long even though it was killing him. He worries about her safety to this day but he also limits their contact to avoid being drawn back into the conflict. Jasper is very protective of women and children. He’s also deeply aware of and chill about the fact women can you know, do things just fine without him, but he’s got a weak spot here. It’s a mix of being old-fashioned and a bleeding heart. Jasper is very serious about his self-control because he has had and continues to have so little control over his environment. Even now that he’s not at war, he’s fighting well trained violent impulses, his PTSD, and his own powers which overload him with harrowing amounts of information he has to constantly work through and separate them from his own emotions. He needs a certain amount of control over his surroundings and himself to feel safe/sane. He WILL get aggressive if he feels his control/autonomy/routine/etc is being threatened.

MORTICIA ( @manusinmanos ) said ' vehicular arson is not the answer. '

"Then what is? Residential?" Jasper said as he leaned back in his chair. "I could just snap their neck but that feels a little bit like overkill considering it's a dent in my truck. I thought setting their car on fire would be poetic."

"It's important to have values, morality's a bit of a wash but we can at least establish a cultural baseline of acceptability. Ain't nobody need to see all that and I'd sure as shit love a break from feelin' all that."

They're going to get chided he knows, but he doesn't care. He's never appreciated this bizarre desire to playact at family nor does he appreciate the lack of control over his own feelings he has living so closely with so many people. Sometimes it's a boon but more often than he'd like it's an irritation or worse a violation. Feeling someone's happiness at a successful job is one thing, feeling their lust was another.

@lycancursed helps Jasper wash ash or grime from their face.

Jasper sat on the lip of the short wall around the dog bath in the mudroom, hunching over to give Jacqueline better access to his face. long pale lashes flutter on his cheeks as he keeps his eyes closed to ease her ministrations. Lovely hands work with practiced ease against his marred skin as she set him to rights by her high standards. Ranching was hard, dusty work and Miss Jacqueline did not tolerate mess in her house.

He kept his hands politely to himself, sitting in his lap. He's sure both of them would prefer them on her hips but they were messy too and he would never risk her nice clothes like that.

"Might be faster just to hose me sweetheart." He murmured.

#reggie tbt.

this is gonna go in a more coherent thing when i finally can make myself write up shit but the reason jasper is helping the Various RE Protagonists is in the memory of his late lover. She was a survivor of raccoon city (at the time a college senior in early education) and seemed to not be infected but the reality was she was one of the highly compatible who ended up with actually useful mutations.

this wasn't discovered until sometime after ~2004 when she had to finally get medical work and people did tests. this pinged her on several systems and she was almost taken by Umbrella/one of its successors and saved by the protagonists. she ended up being kind of forced into working for the DSO/BSAA. Tentatively called the q-virus, she had a very imperfect and unreliable to control other infected targets.

increasingly scared she would be experimented on/that this potential "q-virus" would be perfected and used by some faction in all of this she threw herself into a fire while on a mission to try and ensure her body would be totally unusable. in grief and to respect her last wishes jasper is making sure that no samples of her exist anywhere.

When their eyes locked Jasper did not break it, it didn't matter whether or not she saw him staring. Whether or not she knew where he was or that he was following her wouldn't save her. There was no one she could go to who'd believe her, nothing anyone could do to save her from him. Her life now was held entirely on the string of his own will, his to allow or to end as he so chose. She was . . . well the girl gave him enough to keep him wondering, to stay the execution.

And if some of that was because the memory of her covered in blood and high on adrenaline got things pumping in him, if the memory of her hot and soft and pliable against him woke other hungers well, he was still gentlemanly enough to keep that to himself. As if he had anyone to share those details with.

He tilts his head, a loose question, an opening. To study you have to give stimuli and he wants to peel back the skin and see just he's dealing with here. Not quite a sweet innocent young thing, not quite something dangerous, either a mess of potential or not worth the time. And he needs to know soon, he hated leaving loose ends.

CAUGHT: for sender to catch receiver staring at them. | @handspike

handspike

such a discerning gaze, eyes so perceptive she feels nude, perceived in startling crowd. she was alone, save for him, alone, and nothing would save her from his sight now. followed to this very moment, or maybe it was an accident. she couldn't be certain. but she was witnessed to bloody pedigree. unraveled. seen.

watching, watching, and she watched back.

she knew he was staring - only she wasn't doused in the ichor now.

the frenzy she saw him in, a sort of depravity to her carnal baptism, left her in a state. her mind veered and veered. she had thought he would sink ivories into her mouth when she reached for his face, it was risky, like placing her hand inside a maw of bared fangs.

the kiss was softer than she expected. maybe because she caught him off guard. maybe because she ran away before he could quite kiss her back.

he was here, he had caught up to her.

her head tilts back, guise fixated, her own eyes unrelenting, not fearful, but curious. what sort was he? what cloth was he cut from? was it the blood? she wasn't sure, she'd never seen or felt anyone like him before.

she knew why he was there. she doesn't run for the hills now. doesn't draw attention. doesn't loom away. doesn't blink. he saw a side of her infrequently seen. exposed like a nerve. “couldn't stay away?"

bledhard

The corner of stony lips quirk in a small smile, unnatural face gleaming now with angelic beauty so perverse it sets the prey around him on edge. He can feel her, their previous contact making it easy to sniff her out of the crowd — that and her inherent something. Her curiosity licks at him as softly as a kitten's tongue. Venom pools in his mouth. There is a want in him he cannot explain, can barely even control.

— If he can control it at all. If he could truly control it then he would not be here, staring. wanting. coveting.

Her voice might as well have been a siren's song. He is powerless against it. He may be stone but he is not unmovable and so he is drawn to her, closing the gap that would have thwarted human wars.

"No ma'am, I could not." He drawls, dark hungry eyes staring into hers. Hunting. Looking for whatever was ensnaring him so completely.

He encircles the bird-fragile bones of her slender wrists in a statue's grasp. Another stimulus. He cocks his head, taking her in.

"You're just a bit to interesting to let slip away."
