Patronus: Jellyfish

Personality: René appears simple in every sense of the word. He’s easy to get along with, easy to understand, and is about as bright as a troll (that’s an exaggeration, but it’s not far off - he did once mistake a bar of soap for something edible. He blames the soap; it was the general shape and colour of a cheese tart. The fact that it was next to the bathroom sink is inconsequential). René is gregarious and tries to get along with everyone - and if you’re one of his loved ones, he will protect you with his life. Even if he’s not the best and brightest wizard, he’ll do whatever he can for others. When it comes to taking care of himself, however, René is not as willing. 

Positive Traits: + Loving + Protective + Social butterfly

Negative Traits: - Dimwitted - Unambitious - Slobbish

Quick Facts:

René is one of a twin.

He was born into a Pureblood family.

He’s very musically talented - he can play the piano, but he’s far more talented with the cello.

Being the oldest son, and the idea of the weight of responsibility that usually comes with it, stresses him out immeasurably. 

He has frequent night terrors. He takes a potion that suppresses sleep to avoid said night terrors, so he doesn’t actually sleep much.

He is first chair cellist for a wizard orchestra.

René joined the Death Eaters because he felt it was the winning side of the war, and that it was what would be best for his family.

Theme song: Beauty Like a Tightened Bow by Beatenberg

Headcanons:

René is actually not that great at speaking English, making his transition to living in London a bit challenging. 

René is particularly skilled at dueling spells, not that he often gets to use them.

He secretly loves jazz. 

He hates flying. He gets what he calls ‘broom sickness’. 

He tried to magic his mole away once when he was young, and has a scar on his lip as a result.

About Rene

Name: Rene Duquette

FC: Luke Evans

Eyes: Hazel

Hair: Black/brown worn just long enough to curl

Marital Status: Widower

Born December 1885, Died and reborn June 1920. 

Upbringing: The best of the best education, a stern father and a doting mother brought the best out of young Rene. His father was a wealthy, upper class Englishmen, his mother the product of a long, proud lineage. He Was cared for and loved, preventing a generally snobbish nature and yet had few friends, shy as he was. His compassion allowed him his wife, Dahlia. A beauty and loved by all they made a gorgeous couple. Well, until tragedy struck. Not 2 Years after their marriage did she die, Killed by a virus. You'll learn more about that later. 

Work: He Maintains ownership of a string of old fashioned (nowadays, they weren't when he helped build them by hand) Apothecaries. Small medicine shops based in herbs and often said to be run by witches. 

Family: His late Wife Dahlia was all he had, never given a chance for a son or daughter, as young as they were when she passed. 

Death: A virus, a falsely contained strain of the bubonic plague was what it was labeled as, was circling their Town. His wife contracted the Illness and began to change, her skin heightened in pallor and her eyes grew darker. Despite her illness she seemed strong until one day she seemingly snapped, Elongated teeth drawing from her gums as she made to feed on her Beloved. Rene Managed to subdue his wife and contact a priest, begging a final blessing before she passed. He believed she was in her final throes, the pain of illness having driven her mad. He mourned and wept upon the priests arrival, pleading him to bless her when the priest refused to enter upon the sight of the angrily hissing woman. "Vampire," he had cried out, "Vampire! Creature of the night! daughter of Satan! She cannot be saved!" He had shouted, turning his back to Rene and fleeing from his side. Rene returned to his beloved, imploring her to tell of her fate, of what this was. As she regaled him with her tale she began to fade, to turn to ash it seemed and it was so. His mind made up Rene pleaded with her to change him, so he may hunt the monster down who did this to his Love. With her final breath she did as he begged. allowing him to walk the world as he does now. 

         With a heavy heart and a vengeance to attain. 

Interesting attributes/Skills/Quirks:

He can walk in the sun. the fire forcing them to flame is just a myth to make you feel safe.

He has a heartbeat, albeit slow enough to make you wonder, it is there. 

He hardly needs rest but often sleeps for the normality of it. 

Human food is indigestible, but he loves to put on a show.

His favored way of killing another Vampire is via Stake through the heart or beheading, he hasn't decided which is more effective yet. 

He prefers the blood of men than to that of a woman, its spicier, more worth the struggle. 

His fangs are not retractable. An ever present reminder of what he is.

Strangely cheerful for a monster, often prone to playing with his food to appeal to a small cruel streak. 

Rather mildly tempered, though it does not mean he cannot be tempted to drain you dry.

If I ever not make sense it is because my train of thought literally follows that of the writers of this video.

just remember

the early bird get the worm

so the late bloomers can have eggs for breakfast

[realityrepairer]

so my mom wanted donuts but we don't have a car right now 'cause my dad's at work.

So she was like "then we'll make donuts"

so now we're making glazed donuts.

You don't understand how happy I am right now.

To My New Followers:

First: where the fuck are you people coming from there's a sudden influx of you let me hug you all to death because you're all fantastic and crazy for coming here. #2: If you're not an RP blog I'm honored you like the stuff I post enough to follow me. 2.5: If you are an RP blog I'm honored that you think I'm worth following. III: I don't make starter posts because I'm actually very insecure with my character cause she's rather sci fi-ish even though she's a multiverse character, and she's an OC that often has fourth-wall breaking knowledge of other people so I often feel unwanted when it comes to asking other people to RP or making starters so essentially that means that IF YOU WANT A STARTER OR YOU WANT TO RP OR PLOT OR ANYTHING PLEASE LET ME KNOW YOU FANTASTIC CREATURES. I am just three awkward ducks in a man costume here. Part Z: I love you, so you should love you, too.
