You said you're bored, so hopefully this keeps you entertained!!

What do you think of younger Regis? Not just how he looked, but also factoring things like personality traits and how he might have dressed. This can include the addiction years or like even before/without them. I've seen people interpret him in all forms of high school clique type personalities and would love to hear your take on it!

(No answer needed, but I like your energy and would love to hear it if you're willing) :)

Oooh! I’m all in on writing more for Regis, especially his younger self. The cryptic-like description in the books gives a lot of room to explore, so that’s what I’m going to do! You could easily say that this vamp lad is slowly taking over the business, with how many asks I have gotten lately about him haha : )

Before I get lose on the ask itself, here are Regis – centric asks so far if anyone’s interested in reading those: O O O

Summarised in a sentence: Younger! Regis in my opinion is completely different compared to his current self. During his “youngster years”, I imagine him to fit with the vampire crowd he was hanging around with. That entails being an egotistical individual with a “try me bitch” attitude. In all honesty, you can accurately describe him as the “douchebag” from high school. He would do anything to uphold his status in “the pack” he was running around with, which means, there wasn’t any chance of showing weakness to anyone.

If I were to place him between being 100% selfless or 100% selfish, I would count him as neither. I feel like he would be the type, who deals in favors rather than selfless acts. The mutual gain would suit him best because both the parties go out of it with their prize. He would especially be content when his part of the deal was easy-peasy/comically small compared to the other persons. What isn’t there to be happy about in such a situation? He doesn’t need to perform any difficult or problematic favor while he would still be gaining something out of the deal.

Being prone to spontaneous decisions or acts, he would absolutely be the type to make some scene around authority. Whatever it would take to provoke a reaction out of the poor monk, mayor, or whoever would be in charge. It would be even funnier for him when he’s aware of zero consequences coming from it. He’s 100% the type to do something and yet being on the side of the law, because the thing he did wasn’t “technically” breaking any law. Short said: He was creating the drama, simply for the gist of it. Which according to him and his peers, was a quite fun way of entertainment besides tormenting the locals at night.

Even with all his antics and two-faced attitude, he was thought of as “an intellectual” among the common folk. But rather than using it to help people in need, he used his knowledge for his own gain and concerns. People would often compare him to the stereotypical jackal, fox, or snake. All this effort, went into keeping himself above the storming sea, trying to uphold his place beside his supposed “friends.”

To sum up: Younger! Regis was a definite little shit, and he loved the drama of it! :D

Regis truly wasn’t someone who walked in cheap clothing. Poet shirts, corsets, chokers, you name it, he most likely had one item of everything considered “rich people clothing.” He dressed up to leave an impression, being more precise: to inform everyone he’s no mere farmer or merchant, but someone way important and richer.

To describe his style, I would say he wore a mix of medieval/renaissance nobleman clothing. Plus, he would wear coats resembling those from the pre/post-French revolution, with all those fancy embroidery patterns. With that in mind, most of his clothes were costumes made with some extra spice in form of, different references to the vampire culture example being some hidden symbols or designs in the embroidery on his coat.

Another reason for costume-made clothing, in my opinion, would be his height. I imagine him to be something of a humanoid crane if I could refer to him as such, both thin and tall. Truth be told, I don’t think his strength or any attributes would be extremely affected by his build, with him being a supernatural being and etcetera. Nonetheless, to be honest, it would make for a great cover as a “weak nobleman.” Which could be used for conning people or picking a target for the feast.

Besides the main part of clothing, I think he would be a literal magpie. Anything shiny would immediately be considered his, either by legal or not so legal means. He’s absolutely in love with rings, the reason being their practicality. The more rings, the better and easier is the damage when sucker punching someone in the face (or other more sensitive areas). On another note, I don’t even know if it would be possible for him, but he gives off the vibes of someone who would get tattoos. The designs would range from some literature-inspired vampiric scenes, animals such as ravens, or even herbs (this one would most likely be something for older Regis though).
