26 | Scorpio ☼ | Witch/Vampire | CEO of Blood Corp | New York | Bisexual | Single
✫ ✫ ✫
Personality
Can someone have a crippling hero and God complex while still being a self loathing depressive? Victor will make you ask all those questions and more. He can be cold, dismissive and rude, but he cares almost too much about the people around him. He often goes far out of his way for supernatural folk generally, even more so if he cares, but he prefers to keep sentimentality to a minimum and often treats life as if it is a business transaction. He is incredibly intelligent and masterful in many arts but his self doubt and loathing often holds him back. Victor is desperate to be seen and make a connection, but nearly incapable of reaching that state of trust with the people around him- in his eyes people use you or they leave. Usually both.
Powers
Obscene wealth: more money than any god would know what to do with
Shadow manipulation: manifestations through dark matter
Incantation Magic: learned spells of many varieties, limited only by knowledge and learnedness
Apparition: teleporting short distances
Angurvadal: 'sword of anguish' is inscribed with Runic letters which blaze in times of war, but only gleames with a dim light in times of peace. Summoned by magic at will.
Vampirism: Victor does not see himself as a vampire and dedicates quite a few of his resources to attempt to 'cure' his 'condition'. The current suppression pills he is testing on himself limit his needs for blood, as well as any healing or strength derived from the vampirism. He does need blood, but not nearly as often and avoids feeding from people all together, seeing it as a intimate and frightful act.
History
Victor was born into blood, taking his mothers life with the start of his own on a chilly November evening. His father, a German immigrant and cold hearted businessman, never let him live this down, blaming his son for the loss of the woman he loved, he swore her sacrifice would not be in vain- Victor would be useful. Victor was raised by nannies and tutors the finest money could afford.
After all, the Bluht name came with wealth of its own, but upon leaving the failing German empire Stefen Hans Bluht wanted to better fit in and succeed in the American market, he had hidden away his lineage in favor of what he felt was a much more eye catching english word: Blood
A new empire, in his mind, and an empire he did build with a ferocity which earned its name- one he intended wholeheartedly for Victor to take over. He ‘prepared’ his son mercilessly, forcing schooling far beyond his grade, studying most of his childhood away.
Victor avoided him, and avoided angering him by any means possible, but the anger his father felt for him was unrelenting and often crossed the line into horrific abuse of unspeakable varieties, actions Stefen excused under the guise of building a warrior, a machine of impervious callus.
Perhaps he would have succeeded in building his monster if Victor had not found magick.
He was eight the first time he tried to make contact with his deceased mother, and though he was not allowed many hobbies and spent some of his later years in boarding schools he managed to hide the new world from his father. He managed to not only grow in it, but flourish. By sixteen he had made a provisional deal with a daemon Agremon. He would serve as a vessel for nearly three years, reaping the benefit of demonic power while paying its steep price.
He graduated with his first bachelor's degree in biomedical engineering, not even this bringing pride to his fathers eyes despite Victor’s obvious genius.
When Victor was sure he had secured his stakes in his fathers company he killed him, only a few months after his eighteenth birthday- becoming the youngest, wealthiest, CEO in history, overnight.
The board of directors nearly revolted, the investors pulled out in mass, but before his twentieth birthday he had doubled profit margins, developing multiple patents of his own design which restored interest from investors.
He became a celebrity, but he felt just as alone as ever.
So he ran away, the only way he had ever known how to in the past, Magick.
He experimented with drugs and drank himself into blackouts, but eventually Victor found community in a space beyond the realms of time, in a pocket dimension full of misfits like him. He joined a cultish military order, built around a egregore being, which helped free him of his demonic contract in trade of a new one. With this one he was given responsibility and power which he did not want to fumble, his desire to impress overwhelming.
But a young man of little wisdom and love, and far too much knowledge and power, he fell victim to manipulation, fell in love with an older man, a superior officer.
He lost his position, and the only family he had ever known- nursing those wounds he returned to New York in order to run his own neglected empire in earnest.
A few months upon returning Victor discovered two things: new love for an exceptionally normal man of his own age, Maxwell; and a brother, Jonathan.
His father had a second family, one he had apparently quite cherished- but after the untimely death of the boy's mother his only blood relative was Victor… much to the young witches surprise.
For a few years things were good.
Victor played family and business man by day, and Master of the Dark Arts by night.
He opened the Covenstead Cabaret, a magical lounge, in the undergrounds of his newly erected Serenity Tower- a beacon of green energy and mind bending architecture built around the concept of bringing nature to the city. He started the Major Arcana, a group of young supernatural being whose primary mission was to help displaced youth of their kind and fight off those who wished to cause harm.
He built his empire of magic attop his fathers own empire of blood, he used the darkness of his past to fuel new initiatives, first in New York, then beyond.
But things are rarely good for long, an attempt on Victor’s life left him so close to death that his partner begged one of the Vampires they knew to change him, sure the only recourse for his state was such a drastic measure.
Vampirism was not an affliction which Victor took to with any joy, and it put a horrific strain on his relationship with his partner.
As they danced closer to their wedding date, Victor found more and more that he felt like an imposter- pretending to be a hero, a leader. He had a family, he was to have a husband, he led a team of supernatural beings who trusted him and his company practically ran itself at this point. And yet he felt Max only cared for the hero he expected Victor to be, an image he could never uphold.
Victor was already unsure and isolating when his old superior officer resurfaced, he accepted his offer for drinks- part of Victor wonders still if he knew what it would lead to..
How one drink would lead to two, how he would be encouraged to vent, told he was right, Max took advantage of him, Max wanted him to be something he wasn’t…
But being with his ex-superior didn’t quell those doubts and fears, only sowed them.
With the sanctity of trust lost his partner left him, something which drove an inevitable wedge between Victor and his brother, who had taken to the much more motherly and nurturing Maxwell.
In the aftermath Victor dedicated to his mission of building his empire, in the way he knew was best, and curing himself of what he felt like was a disease.
Currently
Victor lives in New York, in a penthouse in Serenity Tower, he runs his Biomedical Engineering company, and the Major Arcana; a group of otherbeings who help Victor to run his missions and reach his visions.
Victor wants to unite the human and supernatural world, but realizes such a lofty goal can not be reached until there is structure to Otherbeing societies. Victor hopes by replicating Serenity in major cities across the world he can begin to build some foundations to a global community for Non-human kind, in the hopes of bringing them from the broom closet.
This manifests in a lot of charity work on Victor's part, he seems to adore collecting strays and giving them homes in his tower. He rarely expects return, often he sets up Otherbeings for free, helping them to intigrated into human society better so they feel less of a need to harm people or themselves.
Some are offered jobs with him, others are set up for success and end up leaving, some of those that he becomes closest with become inducted into the Major Arcana.

(I have some ideas we could you with, but the details such as how, why, and where eludes me yet. But Virgil is very flexible for the most part through the mid 1700s and up to 1890 to early 1900s. After that he's flexible again, that is, modern eras. Are there any particular situations you'd have in mind?)
Thank you for the request
-- Greetings and hello there! --
(You have a very intriguing character there, and I'd love to write, would you have me
Specifically, if you're interested, I'd love for Virgil and Victor to meet as they could have an interesting dynamic given their very different pasts and perspectives)
(I did but I can't recall anything now, if you do please share? I will try to think of something. I've not had a good weekend unfortunately so I'm not able to think. - @ Hope M.)
(I'll let you decide the setting, though Jett is typically at clubs, bars, casinos or random park benches lol)
(Hell yea. I honestly like the thought of both occurring in our thread. I'm game for it. Would you like to start us off? If not I can, just need some time as I'm playing catch up on threads from being sick last week. Jett is pretty flexible setting wise, he does hang around NY a lot but roams a bit in his depression.)
(So Vic is a vampire? Jett has very alluring blood. He's reluctant but would eventually cave to giving a taste. Jett's actually not that bad of a guy haha! Honestly. Unless Victor has an motives towards Jett otherwise. I'm not sure how the two could fit together. Jett is pretty reclusive right now due to his mindset/condition. Sometimes it makes things hard for interactions unfortunately. Perhaps Vic being a mage type, he takes an interest in the void sickness that Jett has? It is chaotic Magick after all. Ah, just spit balling lol. Whatcha think?)
(Hi there! Yes I'm very interested in writing with you. I've read your profile and I'm just curious how Maya and Victor could interact. Did you have any ideas for a plot? I'm a little brain-dead at the moment when it comes to threads as I've been out of state for the last week and a half xD I'll be home tomorrow evening! If this is any help, Maya is currently homeless and without money. She's also been stripped of her wings, by an enemy in another thread. Perhaps these would be starting points somehow? Does Victor need to consume blood due to his Vampirism. Maya would make a decent blood bag lol! She is too kind to say no. Shes got yummy blood since she's Fae. Anyway! Let me know what you think and what ideas you have. Happy to get sometging started!)
(Allow me a bit of time to look over your profile. Maybe I can get some plot ideas. I'm pretty sick at the moment. My replies are spotty. I'll be sure to muster up something though!)
(Thank you for accepting, I am sorry I haven't spoken sooner.. Are you open for plotting? - @Hope M. )
