About me: name or nickname: Tania age: 26 Experience in roleplay: I have been an avid role-player ever since my early high school years. My friends and I would gather for Dungeon & Dragon sessions that were always strongly focused on role-play. I started giving it a try online (and in english) about 5 years ago when I joined an RP server in an online game called World of Warcraft. Preferred Genres: Horror, modern, sci-fi, fantasy About my character: Character type: Human Character name: Lexis Belmont Age: 26 Residence: A modest but classy apartment at the edge of the Cherry Fields. Description: Lexis grew up in a wealthy family of the Cherry Fields with maids and servants catering to his every needs, satisfying his every whims. His parents, while loving and caring as they should be, were kept busy by their work, a cosmetic business that had been ensuring the Belmont's well-being for decades. The young, neglected boy, quickly adapted to his situation and became the spoiled little brat of the neighborhood. As their son's greed and selfishness grew worse over the years, Mr. and Ms. Belmont were forced to take matters into their own hands. Already into adulthood and still leeching off the family's fortune, comfortably established in their domain, Lexis was promptly expelled into the real world to fend for himself. Mama bird was throwing her baby out of the nest and confronting him to the harsh, cold reality that was life. Now working for the local bank as a clerk, the young man barely earns enough money to pay for his rent, yet refuses to lower himself by living in the Slums. Not him, not a Belmont. When standing behind the counter, greeting the customers with a dishonest, yet charming smile, he earns himself quite a few curious stares. Standing high above anyone else, being half-way between 6 and 7 feet tall, he brings the saying "looking down upon others" to a whole different level. His pressed clean suit, carefully accessorized with a matching tie and a pair of expensive black shoes, clashes with his ear length hair, dyed in a fiery red color that has his boss ranting every time they meet. The young man's undeniable charm and dashing looks has gotten the attention of many females, along with their jealous lovers. Even outside of his work place, Lexis always remains stylish, sporting expensive looking outfits that reflect well his high-class heritage. Personality: The young, spoiled little boy inevitably grew up to be a selfish, egocentric and manipulative individual. Never having been confronted with such things as "rules" and "limits", Lexis became an unruly man whom bends the rules to his own will and desires. Dying his hair in an extravagant color was nothing more than an arrogant display of disobedience when his parents confronted him about his "behavior". The young man does not count many friends, perhaps none at all, as there are few who can tolerate his attitude and the few unfortunate souls who did wound up betrayed at the first occasion, to Lexis' own benefit, of course. The people around him are nothing more than tools to his own success, stepping stones on his way to fame and fortune. While woman cannot escape their cruel faith to his hands either, he does go out of his way to make it a whole lot more "pleasant" for them. His passion for wealth and power is only equaled by his lust of the female gender, seducing his unsuspecting preys with a veil of lies and false promises. With the woman at his mercy, he follows the willing victim into her house and they abandon themselves to a night of passion and romance unlike any other, only to vanish like the wind by morning. His depraving ways have earned him a few unfortunate adventures, some of them involving a betrayed lover seeking revenge, yet he always finds his way out of trouble. Blessed with the gift of a superior intellect, he makes sure every bit of his natural gift goes towards treachery, deception and manipulation of the inferior minds. Other information: While I do not wish to have someone else play a family member of Lexis, feel free to PM me if you would like your character to be one of his female trophies, betrayed boyfriend or co-worker. Intro: The cold Autumn wind was blowing through the dark, empty streets of the Cherry Fields, ruffling the young man's hair as it brushed gently across his skin. The evening had taken it's toll on Lexis, having spent the last few hours at the local night club, spent drinking and partying at the sound of loud music, blaring through the speakers, taking over people's mind and bodies with it's rhythm. It was all but a distant memory, echoing in his mind as his feet dragged along the sidewalk, eager to finally get some rest. The streets were silent, let alone the occasional car that would roar past the young man and the sound of leaves and litter being carried by the wind all around him. Lexis adjusted the collar of his brown leather coat as he walked by the park, letting his eyes wander across the poorly lit path leading into the heart of the town's once lush natural area. The brightly colored leaves were now laying on the paved road, leaving the trees naked. The branches would creek loudly at every gust of wind, reaching out towards the young man with their thin fingers as he passed by them. A shiver coursed through his body and he shoved his hands deep in his pockets, even though he knew it had nothing to do with the cold. A strange wind had been blowing on Thorny Towers lately, one that would make him uneasy, as if he were always being followed, watched. Dismissed as his overacting imagination at first, he simply could not shake the strange feeling that something terrible was about to happen, that a dark force had been approaching and was now growing within the city. Rethinking on his night, the young man shrugged it all off, convinced he had simply taken one too many alcoholic drink, yet still paced himself. As he was reaching the end of the park, something caught his eye and he quickly glanced to his right. A humanoid shadow quickly took off, making a faint sound of rustling leaves behind it's trail. Frozen in terror, his heart racing in his chest, Lexis remained motionless, peering through the darkness in hopes of finding traces of the mysterious stranger. To no avail, the park was once again quiet and the figure had vanished into the night. Swallowing nervously, he was ready to resume his way when he noticed something unusual on the floor. Where the silhouette had been standing a few seconds ago was a pile of fliers, being carried away, one after the other, by the wind. Catching one as it flew by him, he brought the colorful advertisement under the light of a flickering lamp post. "A circus..." he thought to himself. "I haven't seen one in years. Perhaps this is just what I need to get my mind off life's drudgery." Childhood memories resurfaced as he shoved the flier in his pocket and resumed his walk along the path, distracting him from the fact that the wind had just grew stronger, carrying with it the sinister echoes of devious laughter and carnival music. I do realize, after proof-reading my intro, that it enhances the setting more than the character himself. I will leave it at that, though, as I believe there is enough information about him contained in the description and personality above to give a good idea of who he is exactly. If you feel like it's not enough, however, I can try and come up with another intro. |

{x}----Congratulations!! Lexis Belmont has been accepted as new character on Thorny Towers. This audition is a prime example as to why I still have faith in human characters in fantasy roleplays. Humans can be just as sinister as any goblin or ghoul that people think up. I do agree with you though. The intro is more setting involved than character, but I think it works well to set Lexis up for the events to come. A truly interesting character and I look forward to seeing where you take him. Your character will be listed in the Roll Call, at which time you can create a profile to be linked to. Please feel free to register with your desired username and begin roleplaying. |
