I know everyone is like “hc11!Tango looks like he belongs in vsmp” and I agree but I think Gem looks like she should be in vsmp too

LOOK AT HER MEGABASE AND TELL ME IT DOESNT LOOK LIKE THE CASTLE

VSMP but . . . the past catches up : 

Tango & Gem

💛 Tango is Scott’s sire 

💛 Despite how Scott turned out in all his vampiric practices, he was taught many lessons, namely to not take advantage of people and to always have consent 

💛 . . . at least Scott sort of understood that lesson? (/j)

💛 The reality of it is that Tango didn’t have enough time to teach Scott everything 

💛 Reason being that he’s essentially the mayor Graywick, and so he can’t be away for long 

💛 Despite this, he and Scott often wrote letters to one another for several centuries, until one letter couldn’t get past the door 

💛 . . . and then another 

💛 . . . and then the entire manor office was covered in letters, worn and melted and stained 

💛 The manor had fallen into the clutches of the curse, as had its occupant 

💛 And while, yes, Tango could leave, it was better that the curse stayed in town than spread 

💛 So that was several decades of wasting in decay until some wandersome hermits aided him, one being a golden-clad knight 

💛 The knight was well aware of Tango being inhuman—in more ways than one—but spoke no word of it, simply offering his aid 

💛 Upon being freed, Tango had one goal in mind: find Scott 

💛 And luckily for him, his friendly knight was willing to tag along, too

💚 Gem is Louis’ sire and practically his best friend 

💚 Though, they didn’t meet till Louis was already mayor, and how they met is actually quite odd 

💚 With no residential lumberjack (yet), Oakhurst was prone to fires often, and while buildings had to often be rebuilt, one was saved from such a fate 

💚 Pearl and Gem had been traveling around and Pearl—with her knack of always finding fires to put out—lept at the opportunity to save the mayor some work 

💚 This allowed the three to form a very close bond which would see them through many hardships 

💚 One such being Pearl’s death at the hands of rowdy townsfolk 

💚 With the turning of Owen alongside this, the two began to lose touch, but Gem never entirely lost contact with Louis 

💚 She often flew over Oakhurst to relive the fonder and easier moments of her life, and one such night, there was a lonesome pyre burning 

💚 This was when she decided enough was enough, and upon aiding some odd hermits in their trial to free Graywick from a curse, she convinced Tango to get up and search for the last of their vampiric lineages
