martina: love at first bite (mini bachelorette challenge) 🌹
new york city’s lower east side vampire clan is famous for their annual holiday party. each december, the clan puts on one of the most anticipated events across the supernatural community at the goulding hotel, their refurbished headquarters. as the clan leader, ronnie’s name is on the invitation, but it’s the clan’s matriarch martina who’s particularly enthusiastic about the celebration and works tirelessly to make it flawless. 
martina pacheo is happy nurturing and mentoring fledglings who find their way to the clan and working downtown at a fashion house. her true age is a mystery, but she’s got at least two centuries under her belt. martina was married to her mortal true love until his death a long, long time ago and hasn’t been in a relationship since. she’s a hopeless romantic at heart even if she’s given up on finding love for herself ever again. her clan decided to mark their hundredth holiday party by trying to turn martina’s head!
graceful, charming, and elegant, martina has an old-world glamour about her that draws people in. she’s broken plenty of hearts unintentionally without lifting a finger. thoroughly goodhearted, she loves her family fiercely & they adore her back, hence the clan’s little scheme to invite special guests in the hopes that someone will sweep her off her feet!
martina’s traits are good, creative, and art lover.
accepting submissions until december 13!
the rules:
- entrees don’t have to be vampires, but after the heartbreak of losing her mortal husband, martina won’t consider a relationship with a non-immortal. any immortal being is fair game, though, so feel free to be creative!
- must be okay with sims undergoing minor tweaks to “match” my game (just stuff like my eye and teeth presets)
- any amount of cc is ok, just gimme 1 formal outfit
- romance-oriented traits or aspirations are ok! story will most likely override game mechanics for me, though i’ll rely on that for the tough decisions :)
- will be accepting 7 entries of any gender 
- backstories encouraged! ramble! lemme read! pick one of martina’s friends and explain why they invited your sim if you want!
- tag entrees with #martina lafb
(i thought this would be really fun since i don’t have the commitment for a bachelor challenge even though i love them, plus i wanted to do something festive!)

salome moreau for @wildmelon​‘s love at first bite 🧛🏽‍♀️
salome moreau is a vampiress born to a couple in southern canada. her mother was a young human artist and her father a strong vampire. when salome’s mother gave birth to her she fell very ill, and would ultimately pass away from her complications. the passing of her mother left a hatred in her father’s heart for salome, faulting her for her mother’s death. throughout her childhood, salome spent hours training to be a master vampiress per her father’s orders under cruel conditions. in her adolescent years salome built up the strength and courage to duel her father, leaving a scar on her left eye and leaving her father dead. with no family left, she crossed the border and fled to New York where she spent the last 217 years residing in hidden forests.
enduring centuries of loss and never truly experiencing family, salome became hardened and socially inept. she spends everyday training because of what her father engrained in her. salome yearns for a connection to free her from the never-ending cycle of fighting and wishes to find peace. while hunting in manhattan, salome stumbles across a sealed envelope containing an invitation to the manhanttan lower east side’s holiday party. the idea of being surrounded by occults like herself is appealing, but will they let her in? can salome stand out enough socially and romantically? can salome find her peace?

Lucien Cox sends her love and warmest regards to the gorgeous Martina Pacheo and the Vampires of the Manhattan Lower East Side. @wildmelon
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Lucien is a transwoman, she/her ● lesbian ● traits: ambitious, jealous, loyal
Most nights have Lucien busy, both as a vampire and a jazz singer at The Pearlescent— a lounge tucked away deep in the shadows of Brooklyn, New York. The Pearl has been a safe haven for New York’s supernatural population since the late nineteenth century. Lucien has earned a bit of a reputation since she’s started singing there, became something of a mother to the young performers that seek The Pearl for refuge. She isn’t afraid to get her hands dirty for them.
Lucien received an invitation from the lovely Dove because what is a party without Lucien? Dove and Lucien haven’t always had the best relationship the past few decades or so—chalk it up to petty squabbles and that damn velvet coat Dovey borrowed during the prohibition and still hasn’t returned… but everyone knows it’s hard to stay mad at Dove for long.
Lucien couldn't attend last year's event, it coincided with the lounge's Sexy Santa Show. She can't wait to mingle this year!
Tumblr media
Facts:
At The Pearlescent, Lucien performs under a stage name: Adonis, after Aphrodite’s lover.
Lucien loves pet names. Some of the sweeter ones are reserved for the people she cherishes. For the most part, “doll” or “love” are usually attached to the ends of her sentences.
Lucien made her start at The Pearl doing drag performances—it’s actually where her stage name comes from. She still does drag a few nights a week, although she’s changed her drag persona a lot in the last decade.
Lucien owns a bit of The Pearl. A deal was written up between her and the current owner sometime during their fleeting romantic relationship. Only recently did they realize Lucien conned them into it.
Lucien hasn’t belonged to a vampire clan for a long time. Most of her allegiances align with The Pearl and the city’s forgotten souls that find their way there. She does miss the deep connection that comes with being a part of a clan.
The necklace she wears with the sword pendant belonged to friend that was turned with her way back when. Unfortunately, he was killed when they were still fledglings, so she wears his necklace to remember him.
She has a secret interest in cooking, despite not needing to eat in the same way humans do. She’s absolutely terrible at it. But it’s fun, even romantic.
You can't even bribe Lucien to sleep in a coffin. Nothing compares to her plush mattress and goose down pillows. No way in hell is she putting on her sexy chemise just to tuck into a wooden box.
Tumblr media
aaahhh!!! i love her smm :(( thank u sm for the consideration <333
also thank you for letting us include Martina's friends in our character bios!! I love to think she adores Dove like she would a sibling. She may say she doesn't like them, but she's given them an affectionate nickname anyway. I feel like they would have a love-hate relationship that's solely based on being petty, but they have each other's back when it comes to it.

AMALTHEIA WALLACE
Half-human, half-fae, Amaltheia has always felt out of place. Too kind for the fae. Too cold for the mortals. Her sharp tongue is less cutting than it is cunning, a mere product of growing up among those who relish in cruelty, but it’s enough to keep most people on edge, weary—no matter her intention. That is to say: Amaltheia has always been alone. That is to say: nobody has ever been willing to come close enough to change that.
INTERVIEW
Amaltheia, how old are you? 386? No, maybe 387. Oh, this is embarrassing. I don’t know for sure. The fae are more likely to track their age by centuries, if they keep track of it at all and—well. It feels very silly to celebrate your birthday on your own, doesn’t it? Let’s say 387. Seven’s are lucky, aren’t they? How would you describe yourself? These questions are difficult. Do I have to describe myself at all? I think it’s much more interesting to get to know someone on your own. What would you say? Do you think pleasantries and mere words are enough to capture someone in their entirety? AMALTHEIA WAS REPRIMANDED FOR INTENTIONALLY FLUSTERING THE INTERVIEWER AND, WHEN PRESSED, WROTE DOWN HER ANSWER WITH THE EXCUSE “I DON’T AGREE WITH THIS, SO IT COUNTS AS A LIE.”.  AMALTHEIA’S TRAITS ARE: LOVES THE OUTDOORS, FAMILY ORIENTED, AND MUSIC LOVER. 
Alright, well, what are some things that you like? Oh, this is much more interesting. Singing and dancing, though I doubt you’ll find a fae that doesn’t, so it’s not very unique. But I can play most instruments, actually, and that’s more uncommon among my court. Not that it impresses anyone—the Fair Folk are not meant to demean themselves with something like a cornet, but I find it quite fun. The color brown, the color orange. Green, too. I like plants. My… My father’s estate has a lovely garden. I spent much of my time there, as a child. And I think human food is intriguing. That might be the novelty of it, more than anything else. Anything you dislike? Ugh, wearing only white. How do you keep it clean? And tulle. It scratches. I’m not the biggest fan of sports, either, now that I think about it, and I simply don’t have the attention span for those handcrafts. Knitting? Is that what it’s called? I suppose that. Of course, like any fae, I don’t like ill-mannered people. I’m not going to go pulling anyone under the hill about it, but, well. We’re creatures with long memories and longer grudges. That means something. 
HISTORY
The unfortunate truth about the Fair Folk is that, unlike humans, they are not social creatures. Of course, they partake in their parties and their revels, their games of mischief and murder. They interact with each other. But they are violent, cold creatures, and even their socialization is not so much a matter of interaction as it is entertainment. It is fun to hurt one another when you are fae. The unfortunate truth about Amaltheia is that—unlike the fae, and agonizingly like the humans—she is a social creature. She aches for it: to exist around another creature, and to do so kindly. It’s not easy, to be raised by the fae, knowing that mortal blood is worthless and that she had it, filth in her own veins. If it could have been ignored, it would be easier, but it could not be ignored. Amaltheia, young, with cat-eyes glinting—eyes that were a warm, human green instead of the swirling, iridescent shades of her peers—scooping a baby bird to her chest and crying instead of breaking its fragile neck. Amaltheia, maturing faster than her peers, with her heart in her throat, unable to watch the tournaments without being sick in her father’s viewing box. Amaltheia, different. Amaltheia, worse. Amaltheia, so heartbreakingly human.  And so heartbreakingly fae. Just enough to make her an outsider when she stepped foot anywhere but the court. Just enough to ensure that everyone held their breath when she was near; just enough to ensure that she could never truly fit, not anywhere. But she is still… kinder, than her peers. And as much as the fae dislike her, revile her, detest her mortal blood and her gentle heart, they dislike the mortal realm more. So when courtesy calls—and it does call, because to fail to invite the fae to a gathering is to instead welcome bloodshed to your door—it calls for Amaltheia. It’s almost a win for everyone. The Fair Folk stay out of the human realm, which they hate so viciously. The other occults get to avoid the fae, except for Amatheia, who is cold instead of cruel. And Amaltheia gets to be around people. She is a social creature, after all. There is something to be said for being the most tolerable, even if you are only tolerated. But often, in the warmth of the Christmas parties at the Goulding hotel, Amaltheia feels... more than tolerated. For that reason, she looks forward to it each year.
ADDITIONAL
Amaltheia has two "looks". Meaning, there is an expectation for how she should look among the fae and as a representative of their court, and then there is how Amaltheia likes to look. There's a clear difference, so I won't over-explain it, but below is Amaltheia's Fair Folk look and some extra outfits.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Also, I did a couple edits of her with her slightly older version—please ignore any discrepancies, but I think they're fun, so I'm throwing them in too! [concept: you've woken up in an unfamiliar forest, subject to an impossible creature's concern]

Irina Noir for @wildmelon Love At First Bite
Age: Old. Somewhere between 300-500 years old. But don't ask her. She'll never tell. Sexuality: Bisexual, but tends to prefer feminine-presenting partners. Pronouns: she/her
Background: Irina is the stuff of legends. Or she would be, if she weren't so secretive. Living in an old manor out in the countryside, she rarely visits the big city. But years of solitude tend to make you lonely. So, once a year, Irina will join vampire society for a holiday celebration.
Clever and proud, Irina is very confident in herself. She's well aware of her beauty and the power that comes with it. However, she's never really had a meaningful romantic relationship. While she's certainly had many lovers in her lifetime, none of them have truly felt like "the one". She's never found someone who she would be willing to share eternity with. After all, forever is a long time.
Though she can sometimes come off as cold, Irina does have a heart. But years of seeing life have left her far from an optimist. Jaded by her years of life, Irina tends to be more of a realist when it comes to things, and a bit of pessimist when it comes to people. She's slow to trust, especially with humans and non-vampires, likely as a result of a loved one's betrayal that nearly killed her more than a century ago.
She loves art and culture, and over the centuries has amassed a stunning collection of art. She is the owner of multiple pieces on display in museums across the world, as well as having commissioned music from dozens of great musicians, from historic to modern. In her manor, she has a massive library, filled to the brim with thousands of books, all of which she's read at least once.
Irina has a love for things that some might call "old-fashioned". She has a historical glamor to her, and you'll never catch her in jeans and a t-shirt.

Samira Alkan for @wildmelon’s Martina!
                                 Samira Alkan is as beautiful as she is deadly.  
       Samira Alkan is an oxymoron, the woman and the name just as equally; Samira in its Arabic origins means someone who is beautiful and loved, someone people enjoy spending time with. While the surname Alkan means ‘red blood’; two very opposite ideas depending on who you are asking. When they are combined who is to say blood can’t also be beautiful?
Gender & Pronouns: Female, she/her. Sexuality: Lesbian Age: Young Adult Life state: Vampire Occupation: Doctor  Traits: Hot-Headed, Perfectionist, Genius Aspiration: Master Vampire
Tumblr media
Zodiac Sign: Aries Element: Fire Color: Red Ruler: Mars
As the first sign in the zodiac, the presence of Aries always marks the beginning of something energetic and turbulent. They are continuously looking for dynamic, speed and competition, always being the first in everything - from work to social gatherings.  
Strengths: Courageous, determined, confident, enthusiastic, honest, passionate Weaknesses: Impatient, moody, short-tempered, impulsive, aggressive
Aries likes: Comfortable clothes, taking on leadership roles, physical challenges, individual sports. Aries dislikes: Inactivity, delays, work that does not use one’s talents.
Tumblr media
Samira has lived many lives...
     Born in 1589 to a farmer and a simple seamstress — she was known as Cecilia, she had everything a young girl would’ve desired. Her happiness stemmed from roaming the fields with her younger siblings and helping her family around the farm. She preferred tending the animals over sitting with her mother and learning embroidery, her spirt was wild, something her father was proud and scared of at once. At the age 16, her world was torn apart and she was taken from the only home she had ever known. Everything after simply became a blur, she cried every night, cursing everyone who had a hand in making her this miserable. One day she would have her vengeance and they would all regret taking her to such a forsaken place away from her home, this she swore night after night.
     The years passed and the once happy young girl that lived in her began to slip away, little by little she was ripped from her skin only for this empty shell of a person to take her place. Full of hatred and blinded by rage, she was bound to immortality without her permission, a sick twisted person forced her into a fate she never wanted. Cecilia turned into Ayse, watching empires fall and others rise. Another century another identity, she sometimes can’t even recall who she was during what time — until she became Samira. Walking this world all by herself, without much meaning behind her endless days. 
     Her chest wasn’t always this empty or full of resent in the place where her heart should be. Some of her favorite memories amongst all the darkness were of her. The one who extended her hand out and pulled her from despair once upon a time. She was the reason Samira came out of the darkness and began to lead a normal life. She became a doctor and the two talked about what the future would look like for them. Of course, like everything else in her life, now she was gone too. Ripped from her arms by another cruel act of this world she only felt disdain for.
     How could anyone expect to open her now empty chest again if she has nothing to give anymore? Ronnie Vand apparently thought differently. The two met centuries ago, at first due to their strong personalities they immediately clashed. However, over the years it seems they found comfort in each other’s presence. At least, as much comfort as Samira was able to offer. Watching horror films together every once in a while became one of Sami’s favorite pastimes —  she might’ve even referred to the other as a friend, once or twice. Although Samira has never admitted it to Ronnie, she envies her clan and secretly craves the same companionship.
     At first, Samira denied the invitation to this holiday party. Why would she willingly put herself in such an uncomfortable situation? Now, she wasn’t quite sure if it was the presentation of the invitation itself, or watching the honored hostess work on getting everything ready (from very far and very quietly, of course). Something ached inside Samira’s chest, a distant feeling — not completely unknown because she had felt this once before. A feeling that in a moment of weakness made her RSVP to the event that same night. When she closed her eyes as the sun danced its way to the sky, Samira could only picture her face. And for the first time in what felt like centuries a smile tugged at the corner of her red stained lips.

Bodaway Kanoska for @wildmelon's "Love at First Bite"
Admittedly, Bodaway is not great at being a vampire. Fine, scratch that: if Bodaway is being honest, he's actually not even "good" or "decent" at being a vampire and the few immortal beings he barely keeps in his microscopic circle never fail to remind him of this fact (much to his dismay). Feeding on mortals? Harrowing. The social aspect of clans and all the events that come with being a part of them? Painful at best. But immortality, as it turns out, kind of sucks when you isolate yourself for two centuries. So, yeah, perhaps it's time to take Paris and Nour up on their (years old) offer to connect Bodaway to "others like them" via a very exclusive social event in New York City.
More info (and some extra pictures) under the cut! ❤️
Commonly goes by: "Bodie" because it raises less eyebrows and is generally an "easier" name for people to pronounce and remember. That being said, he likes his full first name because it grounds him to his humanity and connects him to his Native American roots and culture. Pronouns: He/Him Sexuality: "Unlabeled" (He sees a connection as a connection, he feels that gender identity wouldn't change anything and he has never given it much more thought than that!) Occult: vampire (master level with absolutely no ambition to wield any kind of power or influence in the vampire community). Age/birthday/star sign: Somewhere around 200 years old - he really stopped caring once he hit 150. He was turned around the age of 29; May 15th; Taurus Traits: loves the outdoors, loner, maker (+ some bonus gameplay-related traits such as responsible, happy toddler, etc. that relate to his life before he was a vampire). Education: finally got around to completing a high school education about 15 years ago (online, naturally). Aspiration: Outdoor Enthusiast Occupation: Currently does freelance work: refurbishing antiques and selling them, crafting furniture pieces from scratch. It's solitary work but it's soothing (and Bodaway likes working with his hands).
Some Lore:
Bodaway spent the first 50 years of his immortal existence on his own with one goal - finding the person who turned him. To confront them, to thank them... he wasn't sure. He traveled nonstop and met many vampires among many clans, but could only give them a vague description from memories formed while he was on the brink of death. Most of the interactions were dead ends and the more time that passed the more restless he became. Finally, he was advised to go to Germany and meet with noble vampires Nour and Paris who, apparently, had been alive much longer than most of their kind.
Although the Sadeks weren't able to track down the man who turned him, they were able to provide him with something much more important that he'd neglected for so long - conversation, compassion, a listening ear, and a home to stay in for a while. (I imagine Nour took a special interest in Bodaway due to him being so frail and all-consumed by anger when they met. After all, it isn't normal for a vampire to turn someone and then abandon them, leaving them to figure out immorality entirely on their own.) He hadn't realized how far he had strayed from his humanity, and he was terrified of his dark physical appearance (he was dirty, his hair unkempt, his skin had a gray pallor to it, there were even cracks forming in his skin). Although their lifestyle was vastly out of his comfort zone, it was grounding. Once he felt more like his true self, he promised he'd never go back to just feeding and surviving. He stayed with the pair for a few years, quietly minding his business and taking the much needed guidance on how to navigate his eternal existence moving forward. He's extremely thankful for everything they did for him and keeps in touch with them as much as he can manage (which for him is every few years, but what's a few years to an immortal being?).
Even after regaining some of his humanity and learning the ropes on how to be an immortal being in an ever-changing world, he still spent a lot of time viewing immortality as a disruption to the natural order. Sometimes he still sees himself as an animal, a monster even, and he deals with feelings of guilt that he evaded death while his family weren't given the same chance.
His family (5 sisters/3 brothers/mom/dad) died because of an animal attack while hunting and looking for shelter in the wrong place at the wrong time. Knowing what he knows now, he believes the attack was executed by a pair of werewolves, crazed by the full moon and set off by the presence of vampires on their turf. The small vampire clan included the man who turned him "out of compassion" when he was seconds away from death. But of course he doesn't know for certain all the details of what happened that night. At the time his family was attacked, none of them were even aware that such beings existed outside of stories and legends. He just has vague memories to go off of: markings on the fur, the uniquely enormous size of the animals, the nearly human eyes staring into him as their claws descended upon his body. He laid there, bleeding slowly and bones broken for hours...minutes? He's unsure. Then, in the early hours of the morning, he was approached by a well-dressed man with short fire red hair, freckled pale flesh, and eyes bluer than the clearest sky. The strangers eyes were clouded with unshed tears and something like uncertainty mixed with determination before he gently lifted Bodaway's head into his lap, lifted his limp wrist to his mouth, and the sting of teeth and warmth overtook him. His scars are from that attack. (Note that this doesn't impact the way he sees werewolves - he sees their instincts as no different than that of vampires or other immortal beings.)
With that being said, he does not sleep well most of the time, as he has to deal with night-terrors. He's got a lot of trauma, and he could probably benefit from speaking to a professional... but are there even vampire therapists? He's not so sure. He also is a guilty blood drinker - it exacerbates those "I'm a monster, I'm no better than the animals that killed my family" feelings. So he only drinks when absolutely necessary, and he prefers it to be with consent. But he doesn't mind drinking from blood bags - it isn't fresh, but it was ethically sourced and voluntarily given and that's good enough for him.
But he can't deny some of the benefits of his immortality - he's got inhuman strength and speed to match. Not just that, but he also has a certain charm about him that is undeniable. In his human life he faded into the background voluntarily - he's never been outgoing and he never trusted anyone enough to let his walls down completely. But ever since being turned, humans find themselves more drawn to him now (perhaps not a perk to him, but it could be for some people).
Unique to his kind, he has a reasonable resistance to sunlight (fortunate for him, a lover of the outdoors). It's a power that, in his belief, may have come from the vampire who turned him.
He lives minimally because that's really all he's ever known. His family lived simply, and he has been content with continuing that for himself. But he isn't judgmental about it: in fact, he would never look down on others who enjoy luxury or finer things because he does see the appeal. He'd be 100% open to living somewhere more lavish so long as he could do so ethically and have access to fresh air and a place to work outdoors from time to time.
He currently lives by himself in a modern, minimalist home he had built deep in a secluded area of the woods. (I imagine he lives somewhere like North Carolina, and his home looking something like this.) after his about a century he took in an enormous and gentle Rottweiler named Sunny, but he was devastated when he passed and hasn't gotten a new furry companion since. But he LOVES dogs (and all animals really). He wanted to be a veterinarian in his human life, but never pursued that after being turned. (But it's never too late, he hasn't closed that door completely!)
Because he is well traveled and has spent most of his life in isolation, clanless, he has had a handful of partners over the years - all human. But his relationships were never serious and he would intentionally keep them at arms length. He has always resisted opportunities for love, in part because he doesn't know if he deserves to be loved... but also out of fear for losing someone he loves. He already finds eternal existence to be a foreboding thing, but trying to do that with a broken heart seems like an impossible and cruel punishment to endure.
He's stayed away from dating other vampires as he's always dealt with the ethical quandary of believing he's a monster. So I think it would be kind of poetic and scary for him, falling in love with someone who shares the thing he detests in himself - because when Bodaway loves someone, truly, he would worship them. He doesn't see their faults. I think of this quote: "When is a monster not a monster? Oh, when you love it." (poem here). And this would completely shake his view of himself. It would change so much for him.
Lastly, I will leave you with some lighter facts: I would describe him as rigid, quiet, and reserved around strangers and acquaintances but passionate, intense, loyal, and soft around those he loves. His favorite color is green. Physical touch & words of affirmation are his love language. He loves all outdoor activities (swimming, hiking, fishing, etc.) and is obviously very crafty (especially with woodworking). His tattoo is symbolic of a family heirloom (a broach passed down to each eldest daughter) and because his sisters and mother passed in the attack, he kept it but wears it in the form of his tattoo (it lives on with his immortal body). He was the oldest child in his family. Chocolate cosmos are his favorite flower.
ALRIGHT, I AM DONE. Whew. I'm so sorry, this is why I don't make occults often. I love lore, I eat occult backstories uppppppppp. You can take the girl out of her middle school vampire phase, but you can't take the middle school vampire phase out of the girl.
Below are 3 full body shots (everyday, formal, underwear/sleep) and a picture of the scars and tattoos on his back!

Gavin Weinstein
Age: *Smirks* Still young enough to woo you!
(Bout 367 years but was sacrificed with his twin sister and turned on his/their 25th human birthday)
Twin Brother to Gemma Weinstein
Traits: Socially Awkward, Loyal & Neat
Pronouns : He/Him/They
Sexual Orientation: Allosexual Pansexual
Comes from the European/Russian Vampire Clan
(Will be) Step Brother to European/Russian Clan Districts Clan Leader Victor Klaus Straud Black
Story:
Gavin and Gemma certainly weren't expecting for their 25th birthday to be shoved into weird itchy ceremonial white dress robes and then lead into the small clearing inbetween their small village and what is called The Black Forest and soon chased then slaughtered & turned by some red eyed, fanged and clawed dark mass creature.
Terrified they tried though severely injured to hide amongst the roots of a old tree though sadly. Trying to save her brother Gemma kissed his head, told him she loved him and she'd see him soon and quickly urged to to run to the outskirts near the frozen lake and soon after Gavin had stumbled and ran a bout a few kilometers he soon sobbed hearing his sister scream into silence and braced himself on a pine tree and soon felt the hairs on his neck raised indicating he was being watched and turned his head only to come face to face with the creature who was dragging his unconscious sister in one claw aside it. He didn't even have time to breathe as the creature soon took its next victim (Gavin) and then after drinking them almost to death left them in the snow to freeze.
A not long later, booted feet found the twins on the verge of death and sliced his wrist pouring his plasma into the twins mouth one at a time and gently picked up both taking them back to his home.
This man was known as Alexander Validus Straud and was at the time the Clan Leader of a small vampire village that hid in-between the valley hills of Black Forest and Rhine Valley. He is also Victor's great-great-great Grandfather (Victor is a born vampire and he looked to be in his late 20's) and soon the twins when placed in a warm large stone underground room where he looked after the twins as they began to transmission into vampires.
Years went by and they accumulated to being the undead. Victor and Gemma soon became confidants of other another that formed a friendship into something more and only a few years ago got engaged at the Summer Solstice Ball. Victor soon found he had family ties in a place called Forgotten Hollows. (Count Vladislaus Straud lV) and was soon extended a invitation to visit one winter.
Its been a long while since their visit to see Cousin Vlad at his manor but this year was different as they from Vlad have received an invitation to attend another clan's holiday ball in good spirits and as his plus 3. Though Victor and Gemma agreed to attend not just for personal sakes but also it would be good to introduced in higher vampire society and make acquaintances and business deals etc.
Though Gemma at this time was nearing her 2nd trimester and was quite big which had her family doctor slightly concerned for travelling but Gemma hushed him saying she would though overseas be in very capable hands and that she sighed sassing she was pregnant not a fragile piece of glass.
So thus Gavin was pulled into after having conversations with his sister that is was time for him to find someone and possibly settle. Vampire, human she didn't care -- she poked her brother in the chest during one of her bad moodswings -- that she was finished with dealing with her brothers ex lovers! (She always was there condoling his dumpees.) Especially after the last one tried to saddle him and get pregnant for social gain then when she didn't succeed tried to seduce her fiancé. Nope she'd had enough and hoped and prayed he'd find someone at the annual holiday gala. Victor of course says she'd be wasting her breath on a miracle for that to happen which soon found himself being scolded and in her line of ire-- future husband or not!

Loren Zalatoris for @wildmelon 's Martina,
a charming and passionate party animal, loren would be considered a very young vampire by clan standards. however, he's lived quite the long time. a party animal in human life and even bigger one in immortal life, loren is hoping to maybe one day find someone who accepts him for the type of person he is. it's been entirely way too long since he's found love.
more under the cut! <3 // private download.
basic information:
traits: charming, passionate, party animal species: vampire likes: the colors red, black and purple. red wine only and bar drinks. flirting but with a nice bit of deep conversation. dislikes: milk and white wine,cleaning.
trivia:
- his style is considered very "flamboyant" but loren likes it that way. his fashion is something he takes pride in and he never goes anywhere looking anything less than amazing. - he's a partier, and party is what he'll do. which is why he lives in san myshuno. (why live far away from the scene?) - a social person by nature, it's a wonder he's been able to live alone this long, which is why he's here at this party. - despite his outwardly social and party ways, he does like a bit of depth and really likes finding people he can become close to. he's passionate - and despite his flirty and party ways, he's hoping that there's someone who can match his energy.
a bit more of a background:
loren wasn't always so "happy-go-lucky" and always down for the ride. even in human life, partying was his go-to for getting away from painful situations. and in immortal life, he liked it more because it was fun rather than an escape. in his fledging days, he decided that being rebellious was a good idea - and that ended up with a blind left eye and scarring on his face. he's been on his own for many, many years and he deep down may just want to settle down? or maybe he's undecided? who knows. but what he does know is that he's getting into this party he's heard about. and where loren wants to go, he somehow is able to go. no matter what.

~ Catherine Calloway ~
for @wildmelon 's mini bachelorette challenge!!
💕 YA (technically) 💕 She/Her 💕 Good Vampire, Bookworm, Proper, Loner 💕 Cross-Stitch, Piano, Plasma Janes 💕 Mischief, Socialization 💕 Catherine isn't exactly what you'd call a "fun" sim. Even before she was turned her interests were much more quiet than those of the people around her. While others danced the night away, she much preferred a quiet corner, alone, with a book or her piano.
However, that doesn't keep others from trying to get her out and about. Her companions and coworkers drag her around the city to every party in town, forcing her to socialize and, occasionally, have a small amount of fun.
This year, they have their sights set on a lower east side party. How they were invited, Catherine preferred not to ask, but soon enough they were shoving an RSVP form her way, begging her to sign.
Deep down, though, despite her cold and practical exterior, she truly believes in love at first sight. That two people could lock eyes from across a crowded room and feel as if they were the only ones in it. But she doesn't think that happens for real... Or does it?

hi !!! this might be a wild question but what are you looking for in submissions? ik you said you wanted to see everything as much as possible but i've accidentally super-over-developed my submission character and i don't know how much is too much.
LOL there's never too much for me i promise! i'm going to sit down and make sure to reread everything when i "choose the contestants," def don't worry about me, i love when people "overshare" about their ocs and am very guilty of it myself! 😀💞
