My first attempt at creating an OC, definitely going to create a character card for her later. So basically she is my take on Vincent Whittman’s wife.
My lore about her backstory ‘Marlene Blackwood —> Marlene Whittman’ (ILL ADD MORE TO MY HEADCANNON LATER, SORRY IN ADVANCE…)
-She was born in the mid 1920’s, and is around 23, about a few years before Vincent/Vox’s death. She was born in Chesapeake, Virginia and was raised there. It wasn’t after her first job offer to be a co-host in a news station in Washington DC did she move across the country. There is not much known about her family tree, but most know that all her family members are deceased.
-This was where she met Vincent, which he was 33 at the time. It was quite a coincidence that he was her host —which was questionable since she was supposed to be the co-host of another host in the office, but apparently he died of an accident. Strange.
-The atmosphere in the office flipped over completely whenever Vincent was around, and he seemed to almost demand attention when he sees it… but not around Marlene. He almost seemed to soften up a little, which was very unlike his demanding persona away from the cameras. It was getting pretty obvious with every news report and weather analysis he had done with Marlene to know that he had developed a massive crush on her. Even crazier is that she didn’t even notice! He remembered the exact way she liked her coffee — double shot espresso with a caramel drizzle and 1/3 of a cube of sugar. He knew her birthday, her friends, her house, her ID number, and hell, even the SAME EXACT SHADE of her lipstick! Just how long has he been staring at her lips, who knows?!
-He got quickly and completely obsessed and smitten by her, to the point that he had an entire bulletin board in his pent house dedicated to all the sexy photos he could take of Marlene. Marlene realized slowly that the people she interacted with disappeared within the same week, which was too frequent to be just a coincidence. She could almost feel Vincent’s presence everywhere she went, like a shadow who never wanted to let go.
-He watched her sleep sometimes, climbing onto the old tree that had the perfect view of her bedroom from her window and took pictures when she was in her most vulnerable state. He even planted a couple of microphones all around her house just to listen to her voice like some kind of podcast. He needed her and he needed her now.
-At some point, Vincent asked her out and she agreed with nonchalance. Their first date was nothing but perfection, with only laughter and the occasional kiss under the moonlight.
-2 years, and around ~200 dates later, he proposed with a shiny, diamond ring with an intricate golden design around the delicate band. He genuinely got emotional and ecstatic when she explained a happy agreement, because for once, he had someone that he knew he loved more than anything… even his career and obsession with power. The sun settled below the horizon as the two shared their first kiss as a newly engaged couple.
-The wedding was spared no singular expense, made sure to be completely perfect for Vincent’s liking. White lilies bordered the venue, emphasizing the other colourful flowers around. The wedding took place at field of flowers in Richmond, Virginia since Vincent had always wanted his wedding to be in his home city. They express their vows and share the sweetest kiss under the sun’s gentle caress, ready to go on with their lives as Mr. and Mrs. Whittman.
-Even though their marriage was said to be perfect, there was one thing about Vincent that had only gotten worst, his obsession with power. Marlene was genuinely worried about him, and she wasn’t the worrying type. Usually, she’d let people do what they want, but this time it was very husband, and she cared about him more than anything.
-He always got home drunk from either whiskey and rye, smelling faintly of blood and paperwork. She would argue all the time with Vincent, but reasoning with him was about the same as reasoning with a rock… it just wasn’t possible.
-She knew that if he keeps his murders, cult, and domination going, he was going to be eventually trampled over and be utterly destroyed, and was she right.
-Not even 4 years into their marriage did she her knocking at their shared home, and 2 police officers delivered the news that Vincent Whittman was found dead after an accident involving a TV crashing down on his head, killing his moments later. Marlene stayed silent for a few minutes, but then her eyes landed on the floor as she decided to close the door on the officers. She just… broke down in tears.
-She knew that she shouldn’t be allowing herself to feel sad, she warned that d*ckhead anyways. At the same time thought, he was the only person she cared about ever since her family. Even then, she must be reminded again that not everything good will last forever, and unfortunately, she got used to his death too quickly for a person that should be still weeping for their significant other’s passing.
-She ended up taking over his position as host for the television channel. Marlene had killed quite a few people after her husband died, mostly people who she deemed were getting in her way. She was at her mid 50’s when she got killed by a shark who bit her until she died of blood loss in a summer vacation in the Bahamas. She woke up with a massive headache as she stared at the red skies above with a giant pentagram almost seemingly stamped on it , and a giant sign in which had ‘Hell’ on it…
