( Barış Arduç, 27/1000+, cismale, he/him) Well if it isn't IBRAHIM ASLAN. Rumor is that they’re a VAMPIRE from TVD/TWILIGHT and they found their way to Devil Hills, KS 26 DAYS AGO. They can be a bit EXORBITANT & CALLOUS, but some of that is made up by their tendency to be MOTIVATED & PERCEPTIVE. One of their top played songs is THE UNFORGIVEN by METALLICA. Some sights and sounds that embody them are BLOOD IN ORNATE GOLDEN CHALICES, CRISP SUITS, AND THE BEST OF ANYTHING MONEY CAN BUY. Hopefully they pick the right side of things or stay out of the way.
biography.
ibrahim aslan was born in turkey in the middle ages. born into poverty, the boy didn’t agree with how those around him accepted the fates they were born into. rather, he organized an uprising at the age of fourteen. surprisingly, those that helped him overthrow the tyrants fell into line nicely for him. he ruled over his own home city, making sure that his people would continue to eat and prosper rathan than suffer. word of the young and ambitious leader made its way back to elijah mikaelson who then made it his mission to recruit him to the strix.
being turned into a vampire was a welcome change in rahim’s life because it gave him more power than he could ever imagine. rather than compulsion, he found that he had the power to affect gravity. focusing on any given area nearby, rahim was able to severely increase the force of gravity in that area. his power hindered those in the area to be unable to move or move extremely slow and the earth can begin to crack open in the area if he focused hard enough. he felt loyalty to elijah for giving him this power and he did the original vampire’s bidding.
word of his power got to the volturi and garnered their interest, causing them to reach out a few times but rahim always politely declined. that was until mikael was planning on killing his children and elijah compelled some of his own to believe they were the mikaelsons so he could escape. watching tristan turn the organization into something sinister thereafter and the threat of the mikaelsons always over their heads, rahim and his mate decided to accept the volturi’s offer and moved to italy, leaving their organization behind completely.
life among the volturi was well for a few hundred years. slowly over time, rahim was turned into something more ruthless himself. it was inevitable in keeping the secret of vampires safe at all costs as well as the way that the volturi insisted on getting their blood. a misunderstanding with his mate a few centuries into his place among the guard caused aro to order the death of rahim’s mate despite rahim’s begging. watching her die before his own eyes enraged him, but he was smart enough to know that taking on the volturi would only result in his death and she wouldn’t have wanted that.
so, in the early 1400s rahim left the castle and resumed life in europe for a while, finding every way possible to profit off of the stupidity of humans. he inserted himself into many royal families in various countries and toppled the economy or stole money before vanishing. rahim wanted to remain financially independent and worked hard to amass immeasurable wealth over the span of about 200 years. without the heart of gold he had once had, he then decided that getting back into the good graces of the strix would be his best power move.
it took a lot of convincing, but he soon was welcomed back into the good graces of tristan de martel. rahim decided that humanity would always see his kind as the villains and rather than put on the false mask of a hero like the volturi did that he would embrace the villain that he was. over the years he has become more trusted by tristan and gain more power within the strix, but he wouldn’t consider himself to have any strong personal relationships. he does admire tristan for his intelligence and ability to lead, but he believes that growing to care for others will ultimately get in the way of him enjoying his existence.
personality.
rahim can appear kind, especially when he wants something from you, but his humanity left long ago with the death of his mate. focused on keeping allies and a good name among the strix, he isn’t interested in connections beyond that. this mindset has left him rather lonely, but he rarely has time to dwell on it. his possessions and glamor are very important to him and he is often busied with keeping his personal finances as well as those of the strix as a whole growing. largely he abhors humanity as he knows that most of them and those of his own kind would kill him no matter what he did, so he decided he will fully take advantage of the benefits of being a vampire. his actions are never thought through with how they affect others.
wanted connections.
more strix ocs, those of the volturi can decide how they feel about him. if anyone wants to play his mate escaped from purgatory i would be game for that and left information about her vague purposefully. we could also have him form alliances for different reasons since he’s been in town. also the romanian coven would probably hit rahim up after his departure from the volturi?? interesting
