Story

After being separated for many years, being reunited in sin and filth, parting again, and at last finding each other with respectable lives, the twins Nyx and Alan discovered their mutual affinity for music and performing. Alan’s natural confidence and Nyx’s widespread talents sparked the idea that the two would begin a band – giving birth to the thought of Vampiric Mangos.

The pair already had another member in mind, their transvestite friend Nathan, and had the wild idea to make him rather consistently a woman. His innate effeminacy and feminine voice made this job simple, and he agreed wholeheartedly to join Vampiric Mangos as a woman.

Still searching for other members, the trio began touring up and down their side of the state, establishing a group of fans and traditions for each show. Alan frequently called up fans to sing or dance with, and was sometimes ‘killed’ on stage; Nathan would make out with one or both of the twins during any given show; and Nyx would call up a fan or two to bite their neck with his small fangs, though whether this was to drink their blood or just for show is unknown.

And so they continued, traveling and searching for companions in their quest to play. Nyx’s vast abilities in music cover them for the most part, but he’s stretching himself too thin; Alan’s charisma charms every fan he meets, it seems, but he can’t find one to settle down with; and Nathan is slowly becoming Nyx and Alan’s caretaker, watching over them in an almost motherly way.

Locations

The events of the roleplay take place in 2008.

Today's date is June 27 (Friday).
It is late afternoon, around 6:00 PM.

The band is currently staying in the Roosevelt Hotel, 1531 7th Ave, Seattle.

Vampiric Mangos travel up and down western Washington for gigs, occasionally venturing into Oregon and eastern Washington but usually centering around Seattle. Locations on the bulletin board with addresses are completely real - if the location has no address, we made it up.

User Image


Eek! There's a typo on the Chop Suey note - it looks like it says "Macison" - it should say Madison. Sorries.

How-To

Basics, basically.

Races include but are not limited to humans, elves, vampires, mages, fairies, and races you create yourself.

Romance is encouraged and wide open, but do remember there are minors on the site that may happen upon us. Not too far, thank you. ((Partial nudity is alright, I suppose. The band members may strip while performing…))

More will be added when we think of it.

Characters

Band Members


Dr Vicki
Username: Dr Vicki
Character Name: Nyx and Alan Altair
Instrument(s): Nyx: mainly vocals (can change voice any way he wants and/or split it into up to four parts), piano/keyboard and guitar, also plays organ, sax (three kinds), trombone, tuba, baritone, cornet, bugle, French horn, harmonica, oboe, accordion, bagpipes, flute, piccolo, clarinet, drums, violin, viola, cello, bass, harp, bassoon, ocarina, recorder, and banjo where needed.
Alan: Vocals, bass
Race: Kaltec
Gender: M
Age: 27
Appearance: Nyx and Alan, as identical twins, are supposed to look the same, but because of their different childhoods they appear very different. Both twins are six-foot-two and have snow-white skin, black hair, and crimson eyes.
Alan is wickedly handsome, with a constant sparkle in his eyes. His hair is short, sometimes spiked but usually in a rich, thick mop with the “just-out-of-bed” look. Often he’s found with a bit of sexy, rugged stubble, which quite pleases the fans. He enjoys removing his shirt at concerts and tossing it to the crowd, showing off his lean, muscular chest. He does have several black scars on his upper torso, but doesn’t explain them to anyone, leaving them a mystery for the fans to wonder and daydream about. His trademark is his sexy, wolfish grin and frequently being “killed” quite realistically on stage.
Nyx is almost a shadow or ghost of Alan; though he looks quite similar in basic structure, he is sickeningly thin and frail-looking from years of near-starvation. His hair is long, almost halfway down his back, and he usually ties it in a loose ponytail or does something strange with it. When he wears revealing clothes, he hides his scars with an appearance spell because they’re so numerous; he prefers to avoid questions involving them, though a few select fans and friends have been informed as to their origins. Across his face is a thick black “N”, carved in by his stepmother with the two vertical lines over his eyes and the diagonal one across the bridge of his nose. He has a pair of small fangs, which he likes to show off either as he sings or with a wolfish grin to match his brother’s, though it’s not as wicked or handsome. His neck bears two small black dots, scars presumably caused by a vampire. His trademark move is calling a fan to the stage and biting them mid-song, though no one is sure if he drinks their blood or simply does it for show.
History/Bio: After their parents split up, the boys grew up apart; Nyx dealt with an abusive stepmother and several drug addictions while Alan suffered intense pain and phantom injuries as a result of their connection as twins, though no one could figure it out at the time. Neither really remembered having a brother, until they met again when they were eighteen. Alan became a part of Nyx’s addictions and ill behavior, and they even sold themselves as “pleasure princes” for twisted customers who appreciated the ‘physical talents’ of the twins. Their sister at last discovered their disgusting lifestyles and aided both in cleaning up and finding respectable, stable lives again. Again they parted, though their sister kept a watchful eye on both, until a few years later. An idea sparked, and they pursued their career as musicians, triggering the birth of Vampiric Mangos.
Anything else?: Both: use ice magic, love teriyaki, bisexual
Alan: enjoys white chocolate, frequents cafés for his favorite drink (non-fat, decaf, white chocolate mocha), works out at least four days a week, drives a 2007 Honda S2000 in “Silverstone Metallic” with black and red interior, prefers Ginger over Mary Ann
Nyx: prefers dark chocolate, frequents bars for his favorite drink (White Russian), writes restaurant reviews for the Seattle Times under the pen name “Naia Starlen”, drives a Porsche 911 Carrera 4S Cabriolet in “Forest Green Metallic” with Carrera Classic wheels , prefers the Professor over Mary Ann or Ginger


Nyx_Altair
Username: Nyx_Altair
Character Name: Nathan A. Wilson
Instrument(s): Vocals, guitar, piano/keyboards
Race: White mage
Gender: M (Leads the fans to believe he’s female)
Age: 24
Appearance: Nathan is 5'11" and very thin. His hands are quite long and slender, usually appearing very delicate, and perfect for climbing things or playing his instruments. He has platinum-blond hair down to his waist, which he usually puts in a ponytail or braid or some sort of fancy style. His eyes are pale, icy blue and go from a very soft tone when he's reading to a fierce, sharp look when he's upset or focusing on magic. He has very feminine features, save for his blatantly male, pointed nose. Enjoying rather consistent, public crossdressing, he may wear a simple, dark skirt and light turtleneck, or even an elaborate Elizabethan-style dress. When simply hanging with friends, he wears baggy dark pants and a turtleneck, with the sleeves torn off in hot weather. He is usually found barefoot. He leads his fans to believe he’s female, supporting it with frequent fan-servicing snogs with both the Altair twins.
History/Bio: Not much is known about his past, though it can be assumed from his thick accent that he came from Scotland. He speaks fluent German and a touch of French he claims he learned in private school. He never bothers to take care of himself, and often in a fit of bibliophilic reading will forget to eat for a few days. He's very sweet, and adores nature and the outdoors. His naturally feminine voice, though a bit low, aids him in convincing his seas of fans that he is a woman, though close friends and band members know otherwise as they see him apply makeup and dress before every concert.
Anything else?: bisexual, loves Italian food, despises white chocolate and raspberries, adores milk chocolate and caramel, frequents cafés for his favorite drink (mocha frappucino) and quiet reading in a warm corner, often stays in libraries for hours on end and falls asleep there, drives a 2007 Volkswagen New Beetle Convertible in “Salsa Red” (with a 6-disc CD changer, cream roof and interior, and reggae wheels), borderline claustrophobic, loves romance novels and movies


[tORN_sEAmZ]
Username: [tORN_sEAmZ]
Character Name: Helena
Instrument(s): Preferably Drums. Also Guitar.
Race: Human
Gender: F
Age: 25
Appearance: Helena, being of medium height, and very thin, has always blended in with people. One of the main things keeping her out of the shadowed life was the tattoo on the back of her neck of the elephant from her childhood favorite, Dr. Seuss. Even though it was not very large, the short hair that came maybe just a few inches below her shoulder did not cover up said mark on her neck. Naturally, she would put her hair up, only letting the small hairs hang next to her face in a small bundle on each side, and the bangs that she so greatly wanted, hanging down to the middle of her eyes. A pair of black thick rimmed glasses would cover over her eyes, completely her outfit of the usual outrageous styles. Most of the days being joined in with her favorite wide scarf coated in a thick red, and her black studded belt. Although she had many other things that she normally wore on a day to day basis, no matter what the temperature outside was: like her plain silver ring, and her black nail polish, her outfits would usual change drastically . She cared not how other thought of how she looked, as long as her outfit fitted her mood, she was happy; that happiness usually being hidden under any other mood she was currently in.
History/Bio: Helena was your average teenager amongst all the other people of her classes. After being tormented with the usual rumors and names acted towards Helena, she finally broke down and resorted to a life of torment on herself. She suffered from mental depression, and took several drugs to help her out of it. As school life seemed to have brightened up, she realized what several girls in her class had been up to, and struck out against them. After being forcibly removed from her classroom, she was placed under house arrest, and everything went downhill from there. Helena actually served time in a Juvenal Hall for unknown reasons, but once getting out, she ran away from her town in Texas, and after stealing a car, made it to Arizona where she was captured once more. Once she became the rouge teen, there was no going back. After her short time being prisoner in Arizona, she stole a motorcycle and drove to Washington were she found a concert that greatly impressed her: Vampiric Mangos. In hopes to join the group, she wished that she could be the bands rebel drummer and tour around with them until life threw her out and back onto the streets like a rat.
Anything else? (Please your fanbase!): Helena is somewhat superstitious: meaning her ring [[which says Luck in Japanese]] could one day turn her life around. She has her own yellow Suzuki motorcycle that she snuck out of a store back in Arizona. She can run in 4-inch heels, is allergic to dairy, has thought about suicide, enjoys just a simple Coke over any other drink usually.


Twilight Oblivion Dragon
Username: Twilight Oblivion Dragon
Character Name: Fortayu Athan
Instrument(s): Guitar, Drums, and Vocals are what he plays in a band. He can play Piano, several string instruments, and trumpet.
Race: Red Mage (FF anyone? : D )
Gender: Male
Age: 20
Appearance: He’s 6’ and very slender. He has a short silver mane, consistently brushed through with that ‘just woken up’ look, and eyes the same hue. Depending on mood they vary from bright and sparkling to dark and stormy, like thunderclouds. Fortayu has some rather feminine features, appearing somewhat delicate, though he’s still obviously male. His clothing of choice is simple, usually just black pants and a t-shirt, though his favorite jackets (he has several) are all high-quality material that cost more than most people’s wardrobes put together; each one is custom-fit and made to order, including any decorative stitching or embroidery. When he wants to impress someone he’ll wear one of many formal black tux jackets and silk shirts; much more elegant than his usual street-wandering attire. He also has a light British accent that many people find ungodly sexy.
History/Bio: Fortayu is from a rich family, and he has the outfit to prove it. You wouldn’t guess from his laid-back attitude towards things, though; he lacks the ‘holier-than-thou’ manner that so many snobs have, or even that his accent would normally suggest. He detests the parties and formal events he’s consistently forced to by his parents (if he doesn’t comply they’ll cut him off from the fortune), so he counters the public appearances and brazenly expensive mansion with rather low-key décor and being much kinder to the less-well-off than the rest of his social class. He doesn’t particularly enjoy the ‘rich bastards’ that he’s forced into company with, so he tries to get out and move around the city as much as he can in his free time. He started playing various instruments out of boredom and nothing to do with his money, so he sometimes goes out and does shows for bars or clubs on his own.
Anything else? (Please your fanbase!): On stage he puts on a spectacular act of being as snobbish as he can, dressing flamboyantly and showing off his wealth, as well as signing autographs in a very egotistical manner. His accent lends to the act nicely, and he sometimes calls up well-dressed women to hang off his arm for the show. Every once in a while he’ll scatter money into the crowd, though it’s usually in $1 and $5 bills, reinforcing the image of a cheapskate, prissy rich boy. Sometimes the girls even get to go home with him… ; D



Fanbase


jacks_project_mayhem
Username: jacks_project_mayhem
Character Name: Elizabeth Hearn
Race: Human
Gender: Female
Age: 21
Job : Barista at a local non-chain coffee shop
Why do you love Vampiric Mangos?: Whether Alan remembers or not, Elizabeth very clearly remembers the one day Alan stumbled upon her coffee shop. She was immediately enchanted by his dashing good looks, and just happened to follow him home…and then to a gig. She loved both the music and Alan so greatly, and has religiously followed the both of them (but Alan with much greater precision).
Appearance: Elizabeth doesn’t get much sunlight, considering she’s either in a crowded gig after following Alan or at work, so she’s fairly pasty. She has sharp, emerald green eyes and golden hair that trails down to the small of her back. Her hair is also lightly naturally curled. She is of average height, and is quite thin, but not towards the point of anorexia. She usually wears a t-shirt and jeans during the day under her barista apron, but at night, she sports low cut shirts and skirts in hopes that Alan might some day look her way. She also always wears a chain necklace with a pendant the shape of the sword.
History/Bio: Elizabeth has never been the sharpest knife in the drawer, if you know what I’m saying. She was a fairly average student, and grew up impoverished. She currently goes to a local community college and works at a local coffee shop on the side to help pay her rent. She’s fairly new to the area, and sadly doesn’t know anyone that personally around the neighborhood. She has so much free time that she spend every waking moment tracking and enjoying the majesty of the Vampiric Mangos. Her dream is to be able to speak with Alan once again, for she doesn’t really consider taking his coffee order a very fair meeting arrangement.
As for her past, she feels that she had a fairly normal upbringing, and says there is nothing to speak of that’s worth listening to. However, she someday might decide to either tell you anyway, or discover that there is something worth mentioning, perhaps.
Anything else?: She has a shrine for Alan in her closet. She also happens to be the Vampiric Mangos #1 fan, and I doubt you’d want to debate that fact with her. She also isn’t too articulate. Just speaking with her would probably prove that fact.

Username: jacks_project_mayhem
Character Name: Andrew Loomis
Race: Elf (not of the Keebler kind though. He doesn’t live in a tree making cookies. No, more like…Legolas minus the whole he’s-Orlando-Bloom bit…)
Gender: Male
Age: 18
Job (if applicable): A waiter (and dare I say eyecandy) at a local bar in his neighborhood
Why do you love Vampiric Mangos?: He claims to be all about the music, and that is partially true. He does honestly believe that the band is musically talented, and he loves a good show. But alas, he has an alternative motive…and desire. He secretly has a thing for Nathan, although Andrew is unaware of the fact that Nathan is in fact, a man.
Appearance: Andrew stands at about 6 feet even. He commonly wears classic black converse shoes, tight-ish fitting jeans of a usual dark blue color, and quirky t-shirts, although on occasion he is known to wear a nice polo or button down shirt. He has fair skin, for he never did have the ability to tan too nicely, and sandy blonde hair, recently streaked with a light brown color. On a normal day, his hair is lazily spiked, and a golden hoop adorns his left ear. His eyes are a dark olive green, contrasting in an interesting manor with his skin tone. Besides the presence of his pointed ears, he looks no different than any human.
History/Bio: Although fairly fit, Andrew grew out of the whole ‘sports team scene’ when he was about twelve. He has always had something for the arts, being quite good at drawing, if nothing else. Music has always been his inspiration and life. He only wishes he had the dedication to learn an instrument...
He is quite close to his younger sister, who is only about a year younger than him. He still sees her daily, for he hasn’t quite gotten around to moving out of his parents house after all of his wanted colleges, even his back up plans, denied his entrance. Although his parents aren’t too pleased by this, he himself isn’t too upset. He can still track one of his favorite bands while he is in state. Having no skills to get a real job, he currently works at a local bar. He is technically by law not permitted to mix or transport alcoholic beverages, but with a master fake ID and a couple of suggestive winks, he gets away with it pretty well.
He at times feels pretty lonely. All of his friends almost taunt him with their girlfriends in his midst. He isn’t sure if a girlfriend is what he needs at the moment, but a boy can always dream…
Anything else?: Nobody would ever dare say this to his face, but for the past three or four years, there has been speculation between Andrew’s friends considering his sexuality. They never have been able to figure out which way he swings, and because he almost seems to be avoiding the dating community altogether, they have yet to discover such things. Only time will tell how long Andrew can truly hold out, whether or not he really thinks he needs someone in his life.


Nyx_Altair
Username: Nyx_Altair
Character Name: David Bacardi
Race: Vampire
Gender: M
Age: Infinitely 21
Job (if applicable): Government assassin
Why do you love Vampiric Mangos?: Alan is “the most beautiful being on the planet”, and it is David’s dream to turn him and keep him forever.
Appearance: David has porcelain skin, quite fair and lovely, and piercing golden eyes. His hair is thick and long, a rich chocolate brown color. He keeps it in a very tidy ponytail. He has sharp, but attractive features and the natural sexual attraction of vampires. He usually wears a white dress shirt, black blazer, and dress pants. For the most part he’s barefoot or in black combat boots. Two silver hoops adorn his right ear, one in the lobe and the other in the cartilage. He has a pair of sharp, vicious fangs.
History/Bio: David’s been a vampire so long he doesn’t remember his human life – and he doesn’t seem to mind. He’s immune to the dangers of sunlight that his fellow bloodsuckers suffer from, as well as the effects of the crucifix. For many years, he trained in various fighting techniques and weaponry. His fierce passion for everything that catches his interest is what keeps him going – to him, an infinite life means infinite opportunities for adventuring and discovering new aspects of culture and recreation. One aspect he’s unearthed is the Vampiric Mangos, and naturally, Alan Altair. His affection for the healthier of the musical twins has gone largely unnoticed thus far, as he usually lingers in the back of concerts and plots the time where he’ll capture the man’s heart for his own.
Anything else?: David doesn’t hunt humans, far preferring the taste of exotic animals, and making do with deer and what wildlife is available around his home (rabbits, bears, etc…). He often wonders, however, what Alan’s blood will taste like when he finally gets the chance to taste it.


Decending_Angel
Username: Descending_Angel
Character Name: Louisa Carlton
Race: Human
Gender: Female
Age: 19
Job (if applicable): ...Unemployed. However her last job happened to be at a taco barn mall kiosk. Que a shudder at this point.
Why do you love Vampiric Mangos?: Let's be honest: she actually really, really, really, really loves Nathan A. Wilson. She has hand-made t-shirts, with his name on the back of them. He- she was once at a point of teetering between deciding what his gender really was -is her idol. Louisa isn't at the point of being called a stalker, but she can claim to have seen him in a few choice cafes, for a mocha frappucino (his favorite.) Right, she isn't a stalker, she just has good luck and a good pair of eyes. But besides the band consisting of Nathan and others, it might just be her closet yaoi addiction that first drew her to incessant fandom. Her desk drawers full of doujinshi support this theory... She doesn't write band based doujin, she swears on the bible she doesn't. And she also doesn't run that internet twincest support forum. Really.
Appearance: Louisa, or as she actually prefers: Lulu, has a prime distinguishing feature of an award winning, braces constructed, required-retainer-wear-at-night smile. Her skin is naturally pale, but occasionally she ends up with a nice sunburn due to outdoor photography expeditions. Her hair is a dark box-dye black, cut in choppy layers down to her neck. Her bangs are cut straight across her forehead, just covering her eyebrows, but not covering her cocoa brown eyes. She has very long, dark, eyelashes, but her eyes are usually covered by a pair of square, rimless glasses, unless she feels like putting contacts in but she usually doesn't (they make her eyes itch). Lu likes to rim her eyes with a thick line of black on the bottoms, and a bright neon color around the top, something like bright pink or turquoise. Sometimes she even gets creative, drawing little stars or butterflies, once even some sparrows, at the corners of her eyes.

Lulu stands at only about 5'2", she's very short and because of this it's hard for her to keep an extremely slim figure, so she actually isn't very thin. She's the kind of girl who wears size large t-shirts and size 7 or 9 pants, and the bottoms of those pants end up frayed and dragging on the ground because the sizing is disproportioned and they're too long. She doesn't like to talk about her weight, obviously, but it's not like she let's it control her just because she happens to be shorter and has a slow metabolism. She likes to just say that she's cute. She isn't a supermodel, but, she's cute. Not pretty, not beautiful, definitely not sexy, but she does happen to be cute.
She's fine with the way she is for the most part, with her purple messenger bag purse with a Vampiric Mangos patch and some pro-choice pins, hand made t-shirts and black and white striped hoodie.

History/Bio: Born in 1989, in San Fransisco, California, where she lived for three years before her parents divorced and her mother stole her away to Oregon. She was in Oregon for two years before her father tracked them down, and so then they hauled a** to Washington, originally in a hotel in a suburb of Seattle somewhere, and then eventually settled in Seattle. It took them a month to get themselves out of a hostel in Seattle and into an apartment, and they couldn't ever afford to then get themselves a house, but it worked out just fine for Louisa and her mother. Lu isn't really sure why it is her mother took so much effort to keep her away from her father, but she is sure that it was a decent reason. She trusts her mother above anyone else, as she was the only stable thing in her life growing up.
Anything else?: The coffee shops know her because instead of giving the actual names of drinks, she has a habit of saying the name of the band member who's favorite drink it is. So if she wants a non-fat, decaf, white chocolate mocha, she says she wants an Alan Altair. This actually only works in one coffee shop, cafe actually, but the employees of others are slowly learning.

Kiyoshiko

Username: Kiyoshiko
Character Name: Isabella “Bella” Bianchi
Race: Vampire
Gender: F
Age: Looks 19
Job (if applicable): Antique Dealer
Why do you love Vampiric Mangos?: Isabella considers herself a musical aficionado and truly loves VM for their sound. She has a deep respect for Nyx and admires him most for his obvious talents in the musical field.
Appearance: Isabella is known for her large doe eyes that are a striking glass marble green, ever-red lips and unblemished ivory porcelain skin. She has reddish-gold hair that naturally curls in large tendrils that tend to make her look like a doll. When her hair is straightened it ends mid thigh, but only reaches past her bottom when left alone. The charms of her race are not lax in her; she carries a fragile China doll charm that has been known to attract *****. Isabella is petite, thin and of average height. Isabella has a gothic-Lolita style, preferring clothing with lace and frills, as well as the occasional ribbon.
History/Bio: Isabella is a pure blood vampire, born in Venice to a high noble vampire family She has been around for many centuries and has spent most of her time appreciating and partaking in music and other cultural arts, which helps her sell antiques. In her earlier years, Isabella sang in operas and the like, where she was extremely popular. Most of her family and friends were killed by hunters long ago, making her one of the very few pure bloods left. Her pure blood makes her immune to nearly all vampiric weaknesses, with the exception of decapitation and a stake to the heart and gives leaves her anything but helpless. She is, for the most part, dignified and refined, though when presented with something of interest she tends to act the age she appears and gets rather bubbly.
Anything else?: Isabella only drinks human blood from a willing donor, which involves no contact of flesh because it would turn the donor. She rarely needs to feed and most of her meals come from other vampires who find it an honor to feed a pure blood, though she does not feel she is doing those she feeds on an honor. She enjoys drinking alcohol for pleasure, though it is sometimes hard for her to get any because of her appearance.


ZipperOrange
Username: ZipperOrange
Character Name: Zip
Race: Cat
Gender: Boycat
Age: (13 and up) 18 (at least, the human equivalent)
Job (if applicable): Works at a relatively unknown music store
Why do you love Vampiric Mangos?: They cover good music and have pretty band members.
Appearance: Zip has deep green eyes and bright orange hair. He has small cat ears on the top of his head; they’re silky and soft and adorable. He’s rather small for his age, though it helps him to be quick and quiet when sneaking around. Usually he wears a tan canvas jacket over a green/white checked shirt, either pumpkin-colored or black pants, and he generally goes barefoot. When he bothers with shoes he either wears sandals or black boots.
History/Bio: He’s from a litter of four kittens; he was the last and smallest. His brothers were mean to him in the usual way, but it got a lot worse once his mother (also a pretty orange kitty) was hit by a car. Strawberry (the second oldest) usually helped Zip out, but eventually Zip ran away because he couldn’t handle always getting beat up and not fed. From the time he was about 12 until he was 16 he made a living by getting small jobs that hardly paid well and stealing the rest of what he needed. When he had money he used it; he never liked stealing but did it when he had to. Eventually he managed to save up enough money to get a decent job and find help, and thus he managed to find his job at the music store. He found out about the Mangos by playing a copy of a CD in the store for two weeks straight.
Anything else?: He cannot function around girls, he enjoys listening to lots of different types of music, his favorite fruit is strawberries, he enjoys napping in the sun, and has nearly gotten fired a few times for falling asleep on his break when it’s nice out. He is a cat, though he can transform between a cat and a semi-human form, an ability that runs through the family.


Twilight Oblivion Dragon
Username: Twilight Oblivion Dragon
Character Name: Chance Faelan Alexander
Race: Black Mage
Gender: Male
Age: 24
Job (if applicable): Cat’s Eye Café owner; part-time librarian
Why do you love Vampiric Mangos?: He enjoys the songs they cover and found out that his long-lost best friend is a member.
Appearance: 6’1” tall, he has gorgeous red-brown hair that falls in untidy waves to his shoulders, spiking roughly. He has deep emerald eyes and a very slender build, often clad in loose-fitting pants and tight shirts. His signature is a semiformal clothing style, that can either be employed in a casual way to look good, or can be used in a more formal occasion. His signature look includes an ankle-length black trench coat on top of one of several dress shirts.
History/Bio: He lead a rather normal life, going to school with Nathan years ago and forming a close friendship before having to move and losing contact. Chance has always had a passion for reading and writing, so he became a librarian where he could be surrounded by his best friends. Eventually he got a little tired of the same thing day in and day out, so he started his own small business, the Cat’s Eye Café. He found the VM CD in a store and decided to get a copy because it had some songs he liked on it, and thus he found out that Nathan Wilson was one of the members.
Anything else?: He can be charming and romantic when he feels like it, though he hardly ever tries. If he doesn’t like someone he won’t give them the time of day; it’s hard to gain his trust and friendship, but once you do he’s extremely loyal. His favorite flower is a rose, he enjoys cold, starry nights, and he likes curling up with a book in his spare time. He began practicing magic, specializing in offensive spells, not having much of a knack for the healing or protecting spells.
