Vincent has a short temper and can be very quick to anger and slow to calm. He's ruthless and passionate and will not hesitate to fight for something that be believes in, or something that he wants, even if it means making sacrifices along the way. If he can get his way, then he will do it, often regardless of the consequences or the position it might leave him in.

Loyalty means a lot to him and it's not wise to stab him in the back. He's not the kind to forgive and forget. He tends to hold a grudge (for centuries) and he's not a person who's bad side you want to be on. He's not afraid to hurt people to keep his secrets secret, or to protect himself. In fact, he quite enjoys when people are afraid of him. His already large ego feeds off of it, boosting his confidence in whatever he's doing. He likes to have a focus, something to aspire towards. Don't let that be ending your life. You only get one chance and if you blow it, then tough luck. You're finished. If Vince doesn't get his way he gets incredible moody and will either go sulk by himself or take it out on the nearest person. He can be a little bit of a child from time to time.

Vincent is a quick thinker and a very good liar. He knows just how to sweet talk himself into or out of any situation. This always comes in handy with the ladies. He likes to think of himself as, simply, a very convincing storyteller. If people don't know about his reputation then that's not his fault. He's sarcastic and arrogant most of the time and can be both seductive and cruel depending on what kind of humor he's in and who he's dealing with.

Vince isn't a big fan of following the rules and he certainly doesn't like being told what to do or what he can and can't have. If he's told to do something he doesn't want to do, he'll let his dissatisfaction be known. None too subtly, either. He's incredibly stubborn and he's not about to admit he's wrong unless he's really, really sure. Even then, it's always a struggle. His pride doesn't like taking a beating. He's relentless when there's something he wants and he wont stop until he gets it. Besides, he always gets what he wants, one way or another... What's a few lifeless bodies as long as he's happy in the end? Selfish, perhaps, but he's not about to waste all of his energy on making other people happy. If they're not strong enough to keep themselves alive then maybe they don't deserve to live.

There are a few people that Vince will actually listen to because he always thinks that he knows best. He tries to pretend that nothing affects him but everyone has their weaknesses. He isn't as tough as he thinks he is and he's a lot more easy to read once you get to know him. He likes to think that he doesn't need anyone else but deep down he knows that's not true. He's lost his way but that doesn't mean that someone can't help him find it again. When he does get close to someone, which doesn't happen often, he let's his guard down a lot more. He can be gentle and considerate when he wants to be and if you are someone that he cares about you know he'll do his best to be his best for you and keep you safe. It's his passionate side coming out again.

Be mindful if you are a human then you will need to be estranged from your family. They know this prior to sending the invitations. Brief Description of life before the invitation and why you decided to go to the party.

If you choose Vampire then you can do a brief description of how you came to be, your goals with living this way, ect.

Lover of music, he has seen many a musical in his lifetime. Going for an aristocrat Victorian style he is wearing blue and donning a Phantom of the Opera Mask. He does have a blue embroidered overcoat but he often loses them shortly after the party starts.

He can play the piano, very well considering he's had centuries to master the art. He actually has a cat named Mylo which is a brown domestic short hair/Maine Coon mix. He is sentimental about his pets and only owns one at a time. He doesn't like to think of the ones he's lost along the way.

Willow’s more delicate features give her an innocent and gentle appearance which is only enhanced by her petite height of roughly five foot two inches. However, though she might appear weak at first glance, she actually has a bit of lean muscles. Most of that strength is focused in her arms rather than in her legs due to some of the sports in her younger years that required more upper body motion. She has large doe like eyes, a shade of olive green in color with a button shaped nose and full rosy lips. Her skin has a sun kissed tone, not quite tan but really not considered pale either. The chocolate brown tresses of her hair fall to about her mid back in a slight wave and have been layered up to her jaw. She has fairly long legs which make up a lot of her height, soft curves from wide hips that give her a tinkerbell/pear shape.

Willow is a [sweet], warm-hearted, and [optimistic] woman that marches to the beat of her own drum and isn't afraid to do so. She believes in being herself even if people's opinion of her might not be a good one because of it. She wants people who like her for the way she is and doesn't feel like anyone should make you change who you are meant to be. The ones that know her are very aware of how [stubborn] she can be when her mind is set on something and she won't let anyone get in her if she believes it is right or will help someone in need. She always tries to find the good in everyone which sometimes can get her into trouble. This isn't to say she is naive and will give her trust to anyone but she wants to understand what they think and why they do what they do. If you do earn her trust and friendship then you will never meet anyone more caring and open. She will stand by your side through thick and thin, a real [loyal] until the end type. She would take the shirt off her back if it meant helping someone else she cared about out.

Willow will always tell you what she thinks and not exactly what you would like to hear. She doesn't do this to be mean or cruel but because she knows nothing good ever comes from a lie which is why she gives her opinions very [blunt] and clearly. In some ways, Willow can be very mature and in others she acts kind of childish but she knows how and when to be serious even though she would rather not be. It is more fun to be laughing and smiling than having to be serious or straight faced. She isn’t always sugar and rainbows though. She has a very fiery side to her, at times even [hot-headed] if you get on her bad side or make her angry. Willow prefers to call it passion but no one else would say so when her silver tongue is harshly snarling in your direction. She isn’t just some soft pushover that will stand down.

Since the moment Willow was born, her whole existence was to work on impressing her great grandmother and give extra opportunity to be chosen as a successor which would mean gaining the fortune that would one day be left behind. Heck, she was even named after the woman and her brothers were just a variation of that same name. Problem is, her great grandmother is a snide grumpy snippy manipulative hag with the highest standards imaginable. Nothing and no one was ever going to be good enough for her. If she had ever had a chance to meet her great grandfather, she would have pitied the old fool for having to be arranged with such a woman to grow their vast empire. It wouldn’t surprise her if that was why he ended up in an early grave. Willow certainly felt like she would prefer an early grave when she was forced to stay there every summer and endure the woman’s presence. Not to mention all the pointless lessons and sports to be a “well rounded young lady”.

It wasn’t to say she didn’t enjoy the easy and rich lifestyle but she much preferred being around her grandpa, one of the only other people in her family that wasn’t trying to money grab or grovel at the old woman’s feet. He had actually turned down taking over the family business, deciding to pursue his own dreams of being a violin marker instead of being locked to a lifestyle he would have hated. They had threatened to cut him off at that point but had only done so when he “married below his station” as it were. His brother also has been cut off, blowing all his earnings on gambling and burying himself in debt. It was why her great grandmother decided that neither of their children would get the inheritance, stating “two sets of disappointments would not raise suitable children” and why each year, every great grandchild was forced to her manor so she could “make sure they didn’t become rotten”. It seems money really does bring out the worst in people because Willow wasn’t sure how her grandpa made someone like her mother. Maybe it was because she had never met her own mom and was closer to her great grandma to make up for it? Either way, her obsession with impressing their great grandmother and her father’s hope for riches was not a great combo for her or her siblings.

The worst part was when her grandpa passed away, leaving her feeling like a lone black sheep. No longer did she have a buffer or an excuse if she wanted to keep away from her great grandmother. It was from that moment on that Willow counted the days to graduation, working hard so she could save up enough money to get a place of her own and cut any and all ties. It had been a struggle and she had to scrape by for a while but she had managed. It made her see the value of hard work, how to treat people with kindness and help whenever you were better off, and more importantly proved that money was not everything just as her grandpa had always taught her. Willow went onto college, working towards becoming a part of a professional orchestra and having a few opportunities while getting her music degree but nothing too serious. She won a few competitions but she knew it would take a lot to be accepted as a professional. When she received the invitation, at first she thought it had been some kind of joke or that she had accidentally received a guest invitation instead of an entertainer invite. Either way, masquerade balls were quite a unique sight and she hoped to see more music enthusiasts, maybe even have a few moments with the conductor if there was one and not some DJ. After all, Willow wasn’t sure how authentic their host was going to be with this event.

• Her grandfather taught her how to play the violin at a very young age. She could practically play before she could walk. She isn’t as skilled at making them but she can in some cases at least repair them.
• While she can speak French, it isn’t something she tends to use.
• Out of the sports she was forced to take, she hates tennis and fencing the most. She actually didn’t mind archery but music is more her passion.
• Willow does not hate her family and they provided a pretty good normal life growing up but she was tired of them controlling her life. She had no interest to be around her dreadful cousins or her horrible great grandmother.

Dean is an, admittedly short individual, only standing at a nice even 5 feet tall. Despite her short stature she is rather muscular though still lean. This is due, in part, to the fact that Kick boxing is her workout of choice. Her skin is on the lighter side, lightly tanned but still in the pale territory, and her eyes are an intensely dark blue. Her face has a light dusting of freckles across her nose and she has a “beauty mark” under her left eye. Dean usually keeps her naturally black bangs a light blue/teal color and her hair rarely passes her shoulders. The exception to this being the longer stands on either side of her bangs.

Deanne is an extremely headstrong individual to the point where, once she has decided to do something, not much can talk her out of doing it. Something most people would say is a good quality to have, and it is, in some cases. Most however it makes her pretty hard to get along with. She also tends to be rather sarcastic and or blunt. She lacks any real filter between her brain and her lips so people know exactly where they stand where she is concerned. If she doesn’t like someone or something she is quick to let the irritant know she is displeased.

Over the years she has slowly become more outwardly stanoff-ish adopting an unintentional “resting bitch face”, and general rough exterior. But once someone gets through the rough shell she has put herself in they will find a very caring and, mostly kind, individual. Because she knows she can be hard to get along with, the people who stick around despite this earn her undying loyalty. She would go to the ends of the Universe for the people she cares about. Oftentimes she will sacrifice her own comfort and happiness for friends in need.

Dean cannot stand when people point out how short she is as if she could control how tall she got. She also absolutely hates when people put their hands in her face, the exception being if she is in an intimate relationship with the individual, not that she is in a relationship often.

Dean’s homelife was never great. Her father left her mother when she was young and her mother was extremely narcissistic. This resulted in Dean leaving home at 16. Due to her mother’s behaviors she didn’t know anyone from her extended family, and she had a hard time keeping any friends she may have had from school. She had one friend she stayed with for a while after she left home and finished school but that friendship ended after graduation, as the friend went off to college and Dean dove into work. She maintained a job at a restaurant as a waitress for quite a while. She made enough money to keep herself afloat by doing this but her life pretty much consisted of work, sleep, and working out. Her lack of a social life is exactly why she decided to attend the party. She needed some excitement in her life.

Dean has been kickboxing since about seventeen, she found it a cheaper way to work out her issues then therapy, which she admittedly probably needs but will likely never get.
