CHARACTER PROFILE:

SEX: Male
AGE: 21
HEIGHT: 5'9"
HAIR: Black
EYES: Brown
AFFILIATION: Eye of The Mound(former), Lacrimosa
FAMILY: Dimitri Vincent(Honorary Brother)
BIO: A boy who was unfortune enough to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. His family had been traveling to the coast from Central Africa to search for new land to settle in after an unexpectedly brutal drought.
They were later apprehended by traders and shipped off to the colonies where his parents were sold. The boy was bought and taken to Britan by a particularly angry looking man.
PERSONALITY: Cold, reserved, and calculating. Having his life stripped away by the greed of strangers left him hollow and cynical to the world at an early age. His grim disposition would come to change after being found trying to read by the lady of the estate, but rather than punish him, she placed him in the care of her son.
“Indeed I would have Master Howard, however Master Lawrence departed late last eve. I know not as to where.”
“I see. That is quite the conundrum.”
“And you deem his rationale to be both a malady and product of my design?”
Perseus is one of the members of Eye of The Mound. He is a reserved man who primarily keeps to himself as he believes most others around him to be uncouth and mentally absent, though he wilts in the presence of domineering personalities, he is known to butt heads with other intellectuals.
“Achoo!”
“Yes, of course...Only you would consider blunders a boon.”
“No no no no no. Dimitri, we are not doing this tonight. You always have to try something funny at every waking moment don't you? First, you recommend anonymously publishing comedic satire criticizing national policies, then you proposed writing an official appeal to the governing bodies that would repurpose the St. Paul’s Cathedral into an institute that would lecture citizens on the many failings of the Crusades, and the dangers of unchecked religious power.”
Jessica Bowers is the daughter of a tycoon who owns several of the culinary institutions in and around London. She dons the appearance of the ideal lady that her father wants to be while coming up with a myriad of excuses as to why she can't be married yet. Rather than indulging in the typical pursuits of a young lady, she is more enamored by intrigue and machinations of two certain gentlemen.
“Of course. You've been darting in and out of London as of late. No doubt being a blighter elsewhere.”
“You have got to stop reading all those lecherous romance novels. The women in those would fare better if they used their heads a little more.”
“You’re going to leave without eating the rest of your favorite tea cakes?”
Hercules is the founder and leader of Eye of The Mound. It is often said the only thing greater than his intellect is his ego. He seeks bully and intimate those who challenge him and sweet talk those who he deems useful to him. He is selfish at his core and cares little for that which doesn't directly benefit him.
“No need for that dear Perseus. I heard the entire exchange. My decision has already been made.”
“Well then, without further ado, I hereby announce that I will see Dimitri’s prospective new member.”
Edward Howard is the head of the Howard estate. A true to life "self made man" who, having made a fortune from the Atlantic Slave Trade, rose up through the social ranks to stand with the elite of society, He is a man very angry at the world. The type to never forgive a slight against himself or his name. Cunning and ruthless, the only soft spot to the jaggedness of his persona is his family, with the continuing of his lineage being his main driving force.
“You deaf git! How dare you ignore me.”
“Silence Thomas! I did not grant you permission to speak. You do not see or understand anything!”
“I curse that my own son insists that I learn the name of his ‘assistant’. I had hoped that he would have outgrown the novelty of you and yours and would instead focus on his familial obligations by now.”
Extras, extras, get your extras! In all seriousness, backgrounds are the important component that completes any project. But as the characters tend to be one and done's. I want to see what you imagine for them, their spontaneity is a time to have some fun!
Note: You might not get an immediate role in the first part, but you will be in script at some point, and depending on circumstances, you may become a character of greater relevance.
for multiple takes you can either redo the same line, or a different line with the same prompt. The choice... is yours!
