Chracter 1 that I'm looking for someone to play.....
If you dont know much about him....here ya go...
Lesat
Physical appearance
Lestat describes himself as six feet tall. He has blond hair that is not quite shoulder length, and that is rather curly, which sometimes appears white under fluorescent lighting. His eyes are gray, but they absorb the colors of blue or violet easily from surfaces around them. He has a short narrow nose,and a mouth that is well shaped, but has always been slightly large for his face. His mouth can look very mean or extremely generous, but always sensual. He has a continuously animated face. Lestat's fingernails (like those of all vampires in The Vampire Chronicles) look like they are made of glass.

[edit] Personality
Because of his boldness, enthusiasm, and defiance, Lestat's seniors refer to him affectionately as "the Brat Prince", a title of which he is very fond. He is very vain and concerned with fashion, and will pause mid-narrative to remind the reader what he is wearing. He enjoys performing on stage, which he does as both a mortal actor in Paris, France and a vampire in his rock band called The Vampire Lestat that he forms with a group of humans in the 1980s. Lestat is also fond of music: he sings, and he plays the piano and violin. Although he is illiterate as a mortal man, he learns to read and loves literature as a vampire. In one period of his life, he becomes a hermit and spends every night holed up at home, reading.

The first language that Lestat learns is French, although he "writes" his novels in English. In The Vampire Lestat, he notes that despite his French accent, he speaks English "like a cross between a boatman and Sam Spade" and is fond of slang.

Lestat is portrayed in the books as being bisexual,[4][5] and has male and female lovers as both a vampire and a mortal. He is attracted to whoever most interests him at the time. Most of his early experiences are with male companions; he himself explains this by saying the women in previous centuries simply weren't as interesting as men. Later in the series, Lestat offhandedly mentions that he is frightened of women and finds them extremely and egregiously distracting.

Throughout his long life, Lestat is plagued by common philosophical questions, such as "Are my actions good or bad?", "Is there a God?", "Am I in His plan?", "What happens after death?", and "What makes a person happy?" He finds himself more in love with humanity than ever before, despite his relationship with mankind being savage. For a while, he sees life as "the Savage Garden," filled with beauty and death.

Lestat exhibits a strong altruistic nature at several points in the series. For instance, after he first becomes a vampire, he sends large gifts to his family and friends, purchases the theatre where he once worked, and settles the debts of his old manager, Renaud. Later, after his brothers and family are killed in the French Revolution, he steps forward to care for his ailing father, the only survivor, despite their hateful relationship. Lestat also frequently hunts evildoers instead of feeding from innocent victims, although he does not always abide by this rule.

As a vampire, Lestat's abilities include telepathy, superhuman strength, and resilience. After receiving blood from several ancient vampires, including Magnus, Marius de Romanus and Akasha, Lestat's strength increases dramatically, and allows him to fly, perform feats of telekinesis and pyrokinesis, and survive exposure to the sun.

Although he is painted as an anti-hero in Interview With The Vampire, he is quick to defend his own behavior. In The Vampire Lestat, he spends much of the book telling people he is hardly the monster previous narrators have made him out to be. In much of the book, (and its follow up, Queen of the Damned), he is instead painted as a fun-loving hero who even leads the charge against Akasha, the vampire queen.

[edit] History
Lestat was born on November 7, 1760, as the seventh son of the marquis d'Auvergne in the Auvergne region of France. Only two of his brothers survive to adulthood. While they are technically aristocrats, the de Lioncourt family's fortune has been squandered, and they live in relative poverty in their feudal castle. Lestat's mother, Gabrielle, is the only literate member of the family. Lestat's father is blind and spends his days playing chess.

Lestat's relationship with his father and brothers is bad - he tells his mother "I dream sometimes that I might kill them all. I kill my father and my brothers in the dream. I go from room to room slaughtering them as I did the wolves.", and he attempts to escape from them several times, first by asking to remain at a monastery, and later by running away with a troupe of traveling players. In both instances, he is returned to his family. Encouraged by his mother, who sells her family heirloom jewels to purchase horses, guns, and mastiff dogs for him, Lestat takes up hunting, and soon becomes the family breadwinner.

The townspeople of Lestat's village request his help with a pack of wolves that are terrorizing the town. He rides into the mountains and kills the entire pack of eight, losing his horse, dogs, and nearly his own life in the process. Although his bravery wins him the respect and admiration of the villagers, who present him with a lush red velvet cloak and boots made from the pelts of the wolves, he goes into a deep depression.

Prodded by Gabrielle, he eventually leaves Auvergne with friend and lover Nicolas and heads for Paris, intending to become an actor. During performances, he attracts the attention of an ancient vampire named Magnus, who later abducts him and transforms him into a vampire.

After turning Lestat, Magnus commits suicide, leaving Lestat to fend for himself without any kind of guidance. Lestat finds himself heir to nearly inexhaustible wealth, and begins an adventure that leads him all around the world.

[edit] Relationships with other characters
Despite his charisma, Lestat is portrayed as a lonesome individual. In his childhood, the only member of his family who he had any connection with was his mother, Gabrielle. She is the only member of the family who could read, and she often immersed herself in novels, neglecting the mundane life around her. Lestat both admires and hates her for this, yet he is the only person of her family she can confide in; they develop a silent but strong bond. For this very reason Lestat makes Gabrielle his first vampire companion when she comes to Paris in search of her son, wishing to see him before she succumbs to consumption.

Lestat also makes his best friend and lover, Nicolas de Lenfent, a vampire. They both work at a small theatre called "Renaud's". Lestat starts off as a stage hand and then, to his surprise, becomes star of the show when he steps in for another actor. Nicolas becomes a violinist in the theatre's small orchestra. After Lestat is abducted and made a vampire, he tries to distance himself from his mortal friends and family, but he still provides for them. He buys Nicolas an apartment and many other luxuries, such as a Stradivarius violin, with his newly acquired "coin of the realm". Nicolas is suspicious, and stands by his story that Lestat was abducted from their room at night, calling out to Nicholas. Lestat eventually gives in to the love he feels for Nicolas and makes him a vampire as well after saving him from the self-proclaimed Children of Darkness, a coven of vampires led by Armand. Nicolas rejects Lestat as his new maker and sinks into insanity. Lestat collapses Armand's coven, buys Renaud's old theatre, and gives it to Eleni and Nicolas to do with it whatever they wish, while he and Gabrielle leave Paris to explore the world. Unhappy with life as a vampire, Nicolas burns himself in a bonfire, leaving Lestat scarred with the corruption of his friend's mind.

Another fledgling and long-term companion is Louis de Pointe du Lac, a young Creole from New Orleans, whom Lestat turns into a vampire in 1791. For almost a century, Lestat and Louis live, travel, and kill together. Though Louis claims that Lestat made him into a vampire because Lestat merely wanted his fortune, Lestat refutes these claims in the following novel. He points out that he was heir to a vast fortune well before meeting Louis, and says that he fell "fatally in love" with Louis, and that he reminded him of Nicki.

Lestat and Louis "adopt" a dying orphan named Claudia in 1795. Lestat turns her into a vampire in order to tie Louis to him. While Lestat spoils Claudia and tries to teach her how to behave like a vampire, she largely ignores him and reserves her love for Louis. In 1860, after 65 years of living together, Claudia rebels and tries to kill Lestat by giving him two dead boys poisoned with absinthe and laudanum, then cutting his throat and stabbing him in the chest. With Louis' help, she dumps him in a swamp near the Mississippi River. After Lestat comes back and assaults them with the help of a young pianist he has converted, Louis flees with Claudia. In desperation, they burn down their French Quarter house while Lestat is still inside.

Louis and Claudia flee to Europe. Lestat follows them, and meets up with them at the Théâtre des Vampires. Claudia dies from sun exposure while Louis is held captive by Armand and his followers. Armand leaves with Louis, finally feeling that he has had his revenge on Lestat for ruining his coven.

At the turn of the 20th century, Louis once again discovers Lestat living in New Orleans in a weakened state. Louis turns his back on him in pity and disgust. This version of events, however, is also refuted by Lestat, who made no mention of contact with Louis in that era, though he had been visited by Armand and freely admits that his memory of this period is fragmented. Louis and Lestat reunite in the 1980s with a new understanding, only to be caught up and briefly separated again in the events that are detailed in The Queen of the Damned, though in later books Lestat refers to Louis as his lover.

Lestat has a disdain for rules and order, and states, in The Queen of the Damned, that he has always had to be his own teacher. He openly disregards and refuses to show fear to Armand, the leader of the Paris coven, even when confronted with the possibility of execution. The only immortal Lestat appears to openly respect and defer to is Marius. Lestat seeks him out as a mentor in the late 1700s, leaving him messages across Europe and Asia until Marius decides to reveal himself. While Lestat eagerly learns from Marius, he also openly breaches many of the rules Marius seeks to impress upon him, such as the prohibition on revealing himself to mortals. Such behavior inspires Marius to refer to Lestat as "the damnedest creature" and nickname him "the Brat Prince." Lestat sought Marius out to be his teacher but the relationship turned out also to be a father-son relationship.

Lestat is entirely responsible for the epic triumph and tragedy told in The Queen of the Damned, after he presents himself to the world through his autobiography and formation of a rock band, singing vampire secrets. His songs waken Akasha, the Queen of the Damned, from her sleep, and she takes Lestat on as her lover while she enacts a horrible plan to take over the world. This adventure forces Lestat to think of things and people other than himself for one of the first times in his long life, and the adventure changes him forever, forcing him to begin fighting for a kind of redemption—though, as displayed in The Tale of the Body Thief, Lestat remains his old, devilish self, revelling in his identity as the Brat Prince.

After the mysterious and mystical events of Memnoch the Devil, Lestat falls into a vampiric sleep from which the Mayfair witch Merrick eventually manages to wake him, forging a bond between them. After the spiritual, emotional and mystical changes within Lestat during his adventures in the heavenly and hellish realms he visited, Lestat became a legend amongst the remaining vampires, taking control of New Orleans and killing any fledgeling vampires who killed mortals in his city. While it is largely due to his actions that the Talamasca—an order of scholars who study the supernatural world but vow to never interfere in it—declare a kind of war on vampires, it is also due to his efforts that no lives are taken over the course of the dispute between the two groups.

Lestat is sought out by a desperate Tarquinn Blackwood in the novel Blackwood Farm to help him with a problem the young vampire feels only the legendary Lestat can help him with. Though Lestat suffers losses from this adventure, he falls somewhat in love with Quinn, and the two stay close after their adventure together reaches its conclusion.

In Blood Canticle, the final novel of both The Vampire Chronicles and The Lives of the Mayfair Witches, Lestat falls in love with a witch of the Mayfair clan named Rowan Mayfair, who shares the same feelings towards him. Rowan eventually asks Lestat to turn her into a vampire, but, despite their feelings toward one another, he painfully chose not to, because she is a guiding figure in the Mayfair family and he cannot take her away from it or from her faithful and loving husband Michael.

Armand! heart
((i dont like wikepedias profile all that much but im to lazy to type it myself..))
As a Human
Armand was born in the late 15th Century in the former Kiev Rus to the acclaimed hunter Ivan. Armand's original name was Andrei.[1]

As a child he could, after praying, paint vivid pictures of Jesus Christ, Madonna, and the Saints. His astonished parents eventually revealed it to the monks in the Monastery of the Caves, who lived an ascetic life buried beneath earth, sustained only by water and small amounts of food, until they died. Both the monks and Andrei believed he was destined to live such a life, while his father was appalled by the idea. When their ruler Prince Michael ordered Armand to paint icons and bring them to the castle of his brother, the supposedly dead Prince Feodor, Andrei was captured by Tartars and brought as a slave to Constantinople and subsequently sold to a Venetian brothel. There, he was subjected to horrific sexual abuse and developed amnesia.[1]

Marius, a 1600-year old vampire then living as a painter in Venice, rescued Andrei, giving him an education and a luxurious life. Andrei was renamed by Marius as Amadeo. Marius was in love with a courtesan named Bianca Solderini yet could not bring himself to turn her into a vampire. Instead, he chose Amadeo for his beauty, youth and painting skills (apparently lost, along with his memories) to educate 'in the way of the blood', so as to eventually make him a vampire. Amadeo, who owed Marius his life and sanity, loved him single-mindedly and was eager to become a vampire. He did not understand Marius' hesitation of turning him at such a young age, or turning him at all and in an act of rebellion and anger he seduced an English Lord, whom he eventually abandoned after a few nights. However, the English Lord became obsessed with Amadeo and enraged by his betrayal, wounded him with a poisoned blade. In doing this, he forced Marius to turn Amadeo into a vampire to save his life. Amadeo was 17 years old at the time of his transformation. [1][2]

[edit] As a Vampire
Shortly after his turning, Marius' Palazzo was attacked by a Satanic cult of vampires, led by the vampire Santino. Marius was set on fire and Amadeo and the other children at the Palazzo were kidnapped and taken to Rome. Santino tortured Amadeo by burning his friends to death and starving him in a cellar until he was forced to feed on his best friend and innocent children. After five months of such psychological torture, Amadeo was ready to believe everything the cult said in exchange for their love and forget all he has known before. Because of his strength, he was named the leader of the Parisian coven in 1580, and renamed Armand, since a name with the word 'God' (Deo) in it seemed unfit for the leader of a satanic coven.[1]

After living in this way for around 200 years, the vampire Lestat was created. Following their rules, the coven tried to capture Lestat and maybe destroy him, yet Lestat was stronger than Armand at that time, and declared them ridiculous and unfitting for the times in which they lived, disproving their beliefs that they could not look upon crosses, walk into churches, or live in places of light. Realizing that he spoke the truth, Armand fell into despair and destroyed most of his own coven and tried to persuade Lestat to take Armand with him on his journeys yet failed. Instead, he joined the Théâtre des Vampires that Lestat founded and learned to move among mortals again. In the late 1800s, Lestat's fledglings Claudia and Louis happened upon the theater. Armand, tired of the theater, saw Louis as a new possibility of integrating into this period of time. When he could not persuade Louis to leave Claudia or otherwise, he had his coven kill her and then let Louis burn the theater with the vampires in it so that he could leave with Louis. They stayed together until around the 1920s, then parted because Louis never fully recovered from Claudia's death, and knew that Armand was at least partly responsible for her death.[1][3]

After the incidents in Interview with a Vampire, 'the boy' Daniel Molloy tried to find Lestat, but was found by Armand. Daniel provided a link for Armand to the new time, and they formed a relationship. However, Daniel grew more and more impatient, longing to be turned to a vampire, and they were estranged although they would not part. In the end, Daniel managed to destroy his health to such a degree that he was close to death, and Armand finally turned him into a vampire. This happened in 1985, Daniel is Armand's only fledgling to date, and they could no longer stay together after this incident.

When Lestat brought back Veronica's Veil from his journey in Memnoch the Devil, Armand was struck by the sight of it, his religious fervour revived, and he went into the sun in an attempt to destroy and redeem himself. He did not only survive, however, but managed miraculously to save the girl Sybelle from her abusive brother. Sybelle and her protector, the boy Benji, restored Armand with the blood of a drug dealer, and grew very affectionate towards him, just as Armand did towards them. When Armand dictated the book The Vampire Armand to David Talbot, former head of the Talamasca and by then Lestat's fledgling, he left Sybelle and Benji in Marius's care, who turned them into vampires. This greatly shocked Armand and left him deeply confused.[1]





heart Maruis!
Marius De Romanus was born in 30 BCE in Rome. He was an illegitimate child of a Roman patrician and a Celtic slave from the land of Gaul. In his mortal years, he travelled the Empire and much of the known world compiling a travelogue/history of the world. Contrary to his appearance in the movie Queen of the Damned (in which he was played by Vincent Perez) he has white-blonde hair curled at the shoulders and cobalt blue eyes. Due to his age, his skin is often described as being as pale and hard as white marble. To seem "normal" to mortals, he often applies salves and oils to his skin as stated in Blood & Gold.

When he was approximately 40 years old, he was abducted by druids who followed the religion of the Gods of the Groves. Marius was taken to the Grove where he was made into a vampire by the God of The Grove just before the yearly Feast of Samhain. He was instructed by the god to go and try, by any means possible, to find out why vampires all over the world (and the god himself) had been burned or destroyed even though they had not been exposed to fire or the sun. Marius traveled to Egypt and became the caretaker of the original two vampires, Akasha and Enkil, Those Who Must Be Kept.

Marius has lived in many different places in his two thousand years of life. He lived in Antioch with Pandora for two centuries after becoming the caretaker of Those Who Must Be Kept. After separating from Pandora, he moved to Rome where he had the silent companionship of Avicus and Mael. He went into a coma-like sleep for "far more than half a century" before he was awoken by Avicus and Mael and the three set sail for Constantinople. It was there he came to know Zenobia. They lived there for a very short while before Marius went off on his own and visited many places while drifting through time before Going Into The Ground again in the year 1200 C.E.

He awoke again in 1482 and visited Rome and Florence briefly before settling in Venice as a rich eccentric gentleman who painted for his own pleasure. Here he opened a home for neglected and abused boys who had talent, fell in love with the Venetian courtesan Bianca Solderini, found the mortal Armand. Many years passed here before the Children of Darkness (led by Santino) destroyed his house, severely injured Marius, and took Armand (whom he had made a vampire by this time). After the ordeal, Marius and Bianca (who helped him in his recovery and whom he made a vampire to aid him), lived very briefly in many northern Europe towns before they settled for awhile in Dresden. Here Marius found Pandora and begged her in vain to leave her companion, Arjun, and return to him. It was also here that Bianca left him after he heard Marius tell Pandora he would send her away if Pandora would be with him again. The last known places where Marius lived and kept the divine vampire parents was on an island in the Aegean Sea; in a large, bustling city in the early part of the 1900s; and in an unspecified, icy region of the far north in a secluded, underground dwelling. After the events of Queen of the Damned (after living on the 'Night Island' in Miami), it is revealed in the novel Merrick, that Marius and Pandora had reunited in New Orleans. After New Orleans, in the novel Blood and Gold, Marius is living in a modern house in San Francisco with Daniel Molloy.

[edit] Personality and powers
Marius is a highly intelligent, wise, and optimistic vampire. He is one of the oldest known to still survive, a true Child of the Millennia. Because he has drank so often from the vampire queen Akasha from whom the vampiric life fount originated, he is immensely powerful and possesses a number of advanced powers: with his mind, he can ignite objects (pyrokinesis) (the 'Fire Gift'), the ability to fly (the 'Cloud Gift'), very strong telekinesis, and can move with such speed that only other powerful blood drinkers can track it. He can read minds with ease and can block his own mind from being read by using the 'Mind Gift'. It is also implied in 'Blood and Gold' that he has the ability to hypnotize/put mortals under his thrall ( the 'Spell Gift'). Another ability he possesses is the 'Killing Gift' (killing by using telekinetic pressure/force). He has a great passion for the arts and is a master painter and great scholar. He loves to read and to write. Marius' interests include all manner of intellectual and artistic pursuits. Like most vampires, he is a highly sexual being. He is bisexual, having had both male (e.g. Armand, Botticelli, and Avicus) and female lovers (e.g. Pandora, Akasha, Zenobia, and Bianca).

[edit] "Children"
Marius's fledglings include (in respective order): Pandora, Armand, Bianca Solderini, Sybelle and Benji. The last two were Made for Armand. The movie Queen of the Damned stated that Marius made Lestat into a vampire, but it was Magnus that created Lestat as outlined in the novel The Vampire Lestat.

[edit] Other Relationships
Marius claims to have loved many over the course of his long life. His greatest loves as he claims them are: Pandora, Armand, Akasha, Bianca Solderini, Lestat, Zenobia, Botticelli. He has, however, lost both of his two greatest loves, Pandora and Armand. Pandora due to his temper and pride, and Armand's due to the drastic religion-driven actions of a Roman vampire, Santino. Marius does say however, that he sees Pandora and Armand "often".
