muse: Asa Jericho {Black Hat from the movie Priest}
▸ is your muse tall/short/average? Asa is 6′1. Not terribly tall, but easily tall enough to be imposing to most people.
▸ are they okay with their height? He’s never thought about it. Other than the occasional inconvenience of having to duck down farther to dodge a flying vampire, it was never something that came up in his days as a Priest. As a Vampire, he loves the fuck out of it. He stands as tall as he can, giving himself as large a presence as he can muster at almost all times.
▸ what’s their hair like? Dark brown and messy, from a lack of ability to care for it. It’s kept short simply out of habit; though it is much longer than it was as a Priest.
▸ do they spend a lot of time on their hair/with their grooming? He is no longer required to shave after all, so why bother other than the sake of convenience? His scruff is kept down so that it does not get in the way of feeding, and he is usually wearing his wide brimmed signature hat after all. He will, from time to time, bother bathing. It does not do to reek of blood and livestock when hunting after all.
▸ does your muse care about their appearance? Somewhat. Asa understands that he is a unique being and believes he ought to respect that. Good, well kept clothing is hard to come by out in the wastes; so most of his things are at least a bit tattered; but he does try to keep them intact as best he can. New articles are stolen from towns that he’s ransacked. Things like his hair and body are what they are, and beyond cleaning them of blood and viscera he isn’t too concerned with their looks.
▸ does your muse care about what others think about them? No, in short. Yes, in long. He does not care what ‘people’ as a whole think of him; but individually there is a conflict. He was once a savior, a Priest; and a large part of him misses what little praise and fame came with that. An even larger part of him also knows he is now a fearsome predator and if he is not shown the proper respect and fear he will feel compelled to fix that very quickly.
▸ indoors or outdoors? Indors
▸ rain or sunshine? Sunshine
▸ forest or beach? What are these? (forest, if he knew what they looked like)
▸ precious metals or gems? Metals
▸ flowers or perfumes? Flowers over perfume, but yes. Both. Give.
▸ personality or appearance? Personality
▸ being alone or being in a crowd? Alone
▸ order or anarchy? Anarchy
▸ painful truths or white lies? Painful truths
▸ science or magic? To him they are the same; as he was raised by the church and knows little of magic outside of the philosophy of it.
▸ peace or conflict? Peace
▸ night or day? Night
▸ dusk or dawn? Dawn
▸ warmth or cold? Warmth
▸ many acquaintances or a few close friends? A few close friends
▸ reading or playing a game? Games, but he has no one to play with save his pack of vamps; so he mostly reads.
▸ what are some of your muse’s bad habits?
Blaming all of his problems on others. Literally all of them. Nothing is his fault and he is the victim. After all, he was raised to be a weapon, a tool. He doesn’t make decisions. A sword doesn’t kill, its wielder does. For the blood on his hands he blames the church. For his being turned, he blames his fellow Priests. For his blood lust he blames the Queen that turned him. Nothing is ever his fault. If he stops for a moment to think otherwise, he might shatter into a million fragments.
▸ has your muse lost anyone close to them? how has it affected them?
Their mother, back when they were six and taken into the Priest program. They do not remember what it was like to be loved, to be human. Because of this is was much easier to become what they are now. Give up their mortality and accept the ‘gift’ force-fed to them by the vampire Queen.
▸ what are some fond memories your muse has?
Playing in the courtyard of the Monastery as a small child with the other Priest children. They were encouraged to play, to bond with one another. It would build their physical skill as well as teach them how to act as a team when working as adults. All he remembers of it though was chasing a little Asian girl through the halls and knocking over one of the maids in the process. The memory always makes him chuckle softly.
▸ is it easy for your muse to kill?
It isn’t as easy as it was. When he first returned he killed whole towns just to draw out a single man. Since his actions inadvertently restarted the war against vampire kind he has become a bit more selective. Emotionally though, people are usually killed before they have a chance to tug at his heart. If they do manage to make him feel though its all over. He cant do it.
▸ what’s it like when your muse breaks down?
When he finally breaks down? He becomes the scion of the Queen and nothing more. He’s proven what he will do. Burning whole towns. Driving trains full of hungry vampires into the lightless walled cities of the wastes. Everything he sees that is not himself or under his command will die until he has spent his rage or his sorrow. When he returns from the break, he will spend weeks alone, convincing himself that it was not his fault.
▸ is your muse capable of trusting someone with their life?
Yes, but only just. His vampires, his ‘pups’ are the only ones he trusts. The problem is that he can still feel every emotion as strongly as ever, and if he were to be shown courtesy enough times by the same face then he would likely mistake it for kindness and latch on like a child to its mother.
▸ what’s your muse like when they’re in love?
He is doting, bordering on smothering. He does not know how to do anything half way; and many times will begin showing his love long before the target of his affection even truly trusts him. He is a very physical man, spending time with language-lacking beasts has lead him to learn to communicate through body language and touch. These traits tend to scare most potential friends and lovers away if his vampirism does not.
