Character Name: Mircalla von Karnstein. That said, she goes by any anagram she feels inclined to at the time. At the moment she's going by Carmilla.
Age: Died at 18. She's a vampire nearing her 4th century. or, at least, she was...
Canon: Carmilla Webseries
World Description: See Below
History:❝ Posterity doesn't care. I should know. I live in it. ❞
Death: At the end of season 1, the gang realizes the dean is trying to raise a deep one and when Laura goes on a suicide mission to try and stop it, Carmilla goes after her wielding a sword powerful enough to kill anything. She succeeds but the fine print on the magic sword is that it kills you for using it. Carmilla was aware of this fact when she wielded it, but she did think the death involved would be a lot different than winding up in haunted permadark Maine.
What are your plans for this character in-game? The series itself plays a lot with what kind of character Carmilla is. Laura often refers to her as a monster, and well, she's not exactly a great person. Still, as much as she can be pushed to monstrosity, she's far from evil. She's self hating and self serving, and it would be great to put her on a journey that lets her be more at peace with who she is and just giving a shit about others, which she is mildly against at present.
What aspects of this game and/or its setting are you most interested in having this character engage with? I'm not sure it's an aspect of the game so much as just seeing how this character gets on in a team environment. She's not a team player and she usually refuses to be helpful until she gets emotional investment in someone or something. Pushing her past that knee-jerk selfishness would be fascinating, though a bit of a tall order at the same time. Also, i'm just interested in having a different personality to play with than Matt.
How does your character generally get along with other people? Carmilla can get along if she wants to, it's just the wanting to part. She is generally nicer when she needs something. She's wry and sarcastic and too sardonic for her own good. Generally that turns people off, and she's fine with that. Pushing her to extremes can be a little dangerous, because she has killed before and could be pushed to do so again. That said as much as she might threaten to cut a bloody swath through town, it takes a hell of a lot to get her there.
What is your character's mental state upon entering the game? Well, the nicest way to put it is she's annoyed. She was kinda looking forward to just actually being dead. She was mildly tired of living and as far as she's concerned, being in Beacon blows compared to relatively calm nonexistence, since staying with Laura was apparently not an option. She is not particularly interested in saving this world, even if it needs saving. After all, the last time she tried that, she ended up here. If she's stuck in a loop of terrible afterlifes, she's not interested in seeing the next iteration.
Skills/Abilities:
— vampirism. Carmilla is an old vampire, and that affords her some of the usual vampire skills. Super strength, super speed, super reflexes, you know the drill. she heals quickly if she's well fed, and the fed in this instance is blood (though she does still enjoy food, chocolate especially). She is more resistant to damage and is stated that she will survive most anything unless she loses her heart or her head. she has no weakness to garlic or sunlight, like some vampires, though she is burned by genuine holy water, as in properly blessed. She's fine with crosses, as she wears one sometimes for her goth aesthetic and remains unphased. She does not need to be invited in to enter a residence.
— suggestion. For those particularly feeble of mind, Carmilla is able to persuade them towards her wishes. For example, she convinced someone she attacked that he didn't need to be upset about it, and then he wasn't. It requires the low hypnotic voice and eye contact, and it doesn't always work. She doesn't seem to use it much, and only on less-than-intelligent individuals, so it's likely it isn't effective on stronger willed people. I don't intend to use this much since Carmilla used it like twice in canon, it's clearly not her sorta thing. She usually just does the bad bullshit and lets people be mad about it. That said, if it ever did come up, it'd only be with explicit permission!
— dream influence. Anyone who sleeps around her is prone to having nightmares. Carmilla has no real control over this and it doesn't even indicate she has foul intent, it just happens. It seems to be something sprung from the original book. The dreams are usually about drowning in blood or giant cat monsters. Dreamcatchers seem to more or less prevent these, or the show forgot about it past s1. ANYWAY,
— cat monster. Speaking of cat monsters, she can turn into a cat monster. Think panther. Big enough to drag jocks across the quad in her jaws. This is apparently from the original novella, so, that's something.
— teleportation. She can poof around in black smoke. She can't teleport anyone else, just herself. Range is not clearly stated canonically, but I know this is a nerf ability in beacon so I am fine with whatever limitation you want on this one!
— pyrokinesis. She usually uses this to light candles to mood light her brooding, but she also set a huge leather book on fire. That said I know this is a nerf ability in Beacon and that she can't make anything burn and any fire she makes will not produce light, so it's sort of a ... nonstarter. (sorry for that pun.)
— psionic scream. Vampires of a certain age in Carmilla's canon have the ability to let out a psionic scream, which disorients or knocks out others. That said, she's young enough that she has no control over this ability and more or less it hurts people's ears when she is especially upset.
— non-vampire stuff. She is an old vampire, and especially well read. She is familiar with many languages, many of them dead, and some of them not. She's lived through a lot and knows a lot of history.
Flaws/Weaknesses: The obvious weakness is that she needs blood to survive. Carmilla has been shown to have a lot of self control and has never attacked someone on accident. However she gets very cranky when she hasn't fed recently, and can have a seizure or go completely unresponsive if she goes too long without any. She's also weak to other things vampires are susceptible to — holy water, a well placed stake. She won't be able to heal if she isn't well fed.
Her more notable weaknesses are in personality. Her age and experience makes her very unimpressed with humanity. It is hard to motivate her to care about things. She is very selfish. She doesn't place a lot of value in a human life and will kill if she has to. She's a nihilist and has little respect for most people she meets. She is apathetic, rude, and often cruel. She can grow extremely devoted and attached to one person or thing and become extremely dependent on it. One might say entirely too dependent.
Last, some fears include: claustrophobia (she was trapped in a coffin of blood for a few decades), death, rejection, being alone, guilt, past coming back to haunt her, and just good ol' emotional vulnerability!!!
Personality: Age inspires indifference. Carmilla plays at a dismissive, disinterested girl, and she plays at it quite convincingly. She seems inspired most by hedonism, and failing that what sparks her interest at the time. She's a selfish creature and spares little thought to those around her unless they can be of use to her. She's mean and she's unsympathetic, unless it serves her. Which is not to say she's entirely without her charms. Carmilla is charming, smart and witty, and she uses all of these facets to engage when she wants to. Sometimes it's well intentioned, sometimes it's because she needs something. Either way there's usually a disconnect between most of her interactions and what she really feels.
That said, her act of disinterest isn't a perfect facade. Occasionally something strikes her, breaks past the indifference. Honestly it happens more than Carmilla cares to admit. She is a romantic with her bleeding heart scarred over with age, yet it is far from desiccated. She still finds something to admire in innocence, even if hers disappeared a long time ago. Carmilla can find figments of humanity that she is engaged by and when that happens she tends to show a more true version of herself. One that can be affectionate, one that can be playful, one that can be thoughtful and kind. It isn't a side she shows to just anyone, and often her own removal from truly connecting with others is a perfect way for her to avoid getting close enough to care.
When she does? She does intensely, with her entire self. Be it the endearing qualities, like subtle shows of affection, genuine thought and interest in the other's life or concern and worry for their health, or the less-than-endearing ones, like her willingness to do anything to protect them. Because in the end, that violent and vicious side of her exists. She often references it as a threat, and sometimes it seems just like that. It is important to not forget she's more than capable of any shade of violence she decides will help her, silence her pain, or protect those that matter to her. She's not above feeling guilty about it after, because she knows it's wrong. Still, it's too late to pretend she doesn't already have blood on her hands. what is a little more, in the scope of things?
Items: She died wearing a black lace blouse, a black bra and underwear, black leather pants, simple flats, some jewelry, and oh yeah, that sword that is supposed to be able to kill anything. I'm fine with that being nerfed in whatever way you please, but it does come with the stipulation that it'll kill you for using it.

CARMILLA KARNSTEIN. | ||||||
|
🌖 IC | ||||
🌙 SEXUALITY & PREFERENCES: carmilla far prefers girls, though she'll tolerate guys, especially in a setting like this one. considering she's 300+ years old, especially young characters are off limits. that said, canonically she hooks up with a 19 year old... so........... 🌙 PHYSICAL AFFECTION: she probably isn't that interested unless it's someone she likes or it's a very cute girl, but you know, maybe. in the right mood, she wouldn't mind that much. 🌙 HUGGING: from those she knows and likes, sure. don't surprise her with it, though. cuddles aren't really her thing, except they are and she's just like a petulant cat that won't admit that it wants to be pet. 🌙 KISSING: randomly? she might find it a bit weird. in a smut thread, sure. 🌙 FLIRTING: hell yeah, go for it. she will flirt back most likely. 🌙 RELATIONSHIPS: openly DTF at this point, though the second you expect her to is the second you get really blue balls. She's not interested in a relationship, no emotions whatsoever here, EVER!!! (ignore the fact she goes ride or die for people very quickly, that CLEARLY won't happen here!!!) 🌙 PHYSICAL VIOLENCE: She would not like it and either fight back with intent to maim or kill OR just teleport away. surprise, she can do that. if someone wants to tangle with her, that's fine, but as a 300+ year old vampire she is quite strong so chat with me about how it'd go. she's not unbeatable but she also wouldn't go down easy. 🌙 DEATH: she's already dead. I'm not planning on killing her again. Again again. It's complicated 🌙 OFF LIMITS: She will not tolerate noncon in any manner and will react violently if someone tries it. And on a more personal level, I don't want to do smut threads with extremely young characters (16 - 18). | ||||
🌖 OOC | ||||
🌙 BACKTAGGING: Y, go for it. I'll let you know if I can't continue or need to drop. 🌙 FOURTHWALLING: Y... kinda. It's fine to compare her to classic lit, but characters knowing an obscure youtube series would be a bit weird, so no thanks on that. 🌙 HANDWAVING/DROPPING THREADS: Y, though let's chat about what happened if we can! 🌙 CRAU: N. Doubt this would be relevant unless you've literally been in a game w me playing her before. I've never seen anyone else write her, lol. 🌙 OFF LIMITS: Noncon is my no-go!! And no underage stuff for her, either. 🌙 OPTING OUT: You can find a comment here to opt out if desired. Comments are screened for this purpose. | ||||
🌖 FIRST IMPRESSIONS (OPTIONAL) | ||||
🌙 VISUAL: Carmilla presents much taller than she actually is, through presence and confidence. In actuality, she's only 5'3 and all around pretty small. She has dark black-brown hair, amazing eyebrows, and usually is spotted with black nails and dark liner. She usually wears her hair curled, even in Erku. Look, she was born in a time curling irons didn't even exist, she's totally fine curling her hair heatless. 🌙 FASHION: She's a little all over the place with her fashion, anywhere from punk to goth to straight lazy. She'll wear whatever she's feeling like at the time. She has a fondness for see-through lace and leather. The biggest consistency is that she seems to hate color and mostly wears black. I have a style board for her here. Some visual references here. 🌙 DEMEANOR: It truly depends on who she is talking to and what she wants out of the interaction. She can be charming and endearing, she can be a raging asshole with barely disguised disgust. In general, she seems languid and lazy in her movements, maybe even cat-like. Her mood can change quickly and she can fall from one act to another rather abruptly. Mostly she presents as disinterested and disaffected, bored as one can possibly be. 🌙 SOUND: She usually has a low, lazy drawl. It can occasionally be a little more flirty, when she wants to. It isn't often that she actually cares enough to be visibly annoyed, but when she is her tone is much louder and more emotive. A vid example here! Important to note, she doesn't have a heartbeat. Those with especially good hearing will notice that. 🌙 SCENT: She smells good. She's always clean, even in Erku. Once access to perfume is available, she's definitely going to find something dark and earthy and she'll douse herself in that. People who are especially gifted in the smell department might note she smells very distantly of dry blood and death. Very sexy. 🌙 MENTAL ABILITIES/DEFENSES: She has no defenses against this but if she finds out might try to murder even the most well-meaning of characters so uh... let's def chat if we wanna go this route. 🌙 MAGICAL ABILITIES/DEFENSES: Carmilla has the basic range of vampire abilities, super strength, super speed, fast healing when well-fed. She is able to manipulate weak minds with mild compulsion, though she's never seen to be able to do this with... shall we say, particularly intelligent people. She has pyrokinetic abilities, mostly used to light candles or books she really doesn't like on fire. She also can teleport in puffs of black smoke. Vampires in Carmilla's canon get a super-sonic shriek ability as they age, that said, she's still young enough that hers only seems to register when she's extremely emotional (she can't use it on command). She has shown not to be weak to the supposed classics like sunlight and garlic, however she's far from invincible. It is just that she'll probably survive any damage done to her unless her heart and head are removed from her body. Sleeping around her can cause nightmares of impending death, even if she doesn't have any ill intent towards someone (this is entirely out of her control, it just happens). She can transform into a giant cat monster, think jaguar. It might be weird but it's from the original novel so, uh, why not right? I have a powers permission below, please check it out! 🌙 PHYSICAL ABILITIES/DEFENSES: Like listed above, she's got super strength, super speed, and super reflexes because of being a super-old vampire. She does need to be well fed to be at her strongest, though. | ||||
🌖 POWER PERMISSIONS | ||||
🌙 PLAYER NAME: self explanatory! 🌙 CHARACTER NAME: also self explanatory! 🌙 BLOOD DRINKING: would carmilla be able to feed off your character? would it be willing, or unwilling? 🌙 NIGHTMARE INFLUENCE: sleeping around carmilla will cause a character to have bad dreams, usually with bloody imagery. this is pretty situational, but feel free to opt out if desired! 🌙 COMPULSION: carmilla is able to use suggestion on weaker willed, less intelligent characters. i currently don't intend to use this at all (and canonically she rarely does), but you can still opt in or out if you'd like! 🌙 HOLY AVERSION: because of her vampirism, Carmilla is affected by holy things. think holy water, angels, blessed weapons, etc. let me know if your character has a strong holy vibe because it'll either burn her on touch or make her Uncomfortable. you can let me know if you'd rather opt out of this or to what level you want it to affect her! PLEASE NOTE she’s not burned by crosses in general but i will say any used or worn by the faithful can in fact burn her bc why not! |

carmilla is not a sharer so it is very likely most characters she interacts with are not likely to know what she has gone through or why exactly she reacts to things the way she does. furthermore, other players might not understand what is going on, even if i try to describe it in metatext. so i put together a very short primer of trauma for your perusal to give you a better idea of why she is the way she is, and the method behind the disaster. |
♥ born around 1680. she's been alive for a very long time, and has seen multiple wars, industrial revolutions, changes in technology, etc. she's been alive long enough to see some patterns and they're not particularly flattering ones. she sees humans as self destructive, self centered, and self interested. because of this she is not particularly gracious to strangers, and expects the worst of just about everyone. ♥ murdered at 18 at her own birthday ball. not a lot of details given on this one, but it was supposed to be a birthday celebration before she was forcibly married to a baron, and it did not end up that way. being murdered leaves its scars on a girl. ♥ turned into a vampire. this was done by a super powerful goddess trapped in a human skin suit with a lot of black magic. she's not a usual vampire, and that's likely because she was reborn, and not simply turned. she has a handful of magical abilities, including teleportation, pyrokinesis, and turning into a giant monster cat. this is on top of the normal vampire stuff of super speed, super senses, super strength, etc. she can take a great deal of injuries and still survive, though she is sensitive to holy water and well placed stakes. she would die if her head were removed. ♥ held as a long-term captive. the baron she was due to wed stole her from her grave, and he is perhaps responsible for asking her to be turned. he kept her in a dungeon and kept her fed, only barely, and forced her into a sexual relationship while she was held captive. this could have happened anywhere from months to years. ♥ murderous rampage. when she finally escaped vordenburg she intentionally murdered his entire family. oh, yeah, he was up there with a new wife procreating as he kept her in a basement. she intentionally killed everyone but the baron himself, which resulted in his family line having some fairly strong feelings against her. ♥ shunned by her family. after she finally made it out of the Vordenberg dungeon, she tried to return home. she was turned away and shunned and her family had no support to spare for a vampiric and mildly murderous daughter. since her father had sold her like prize cattle and her mother had never supported any interest that wasn't ladylike, mircalla doesn't think back on them with particular fondness. ♥ recruited by maman. the same goddess that raised her found her and pulled her into her fold. some of it was enjoyable, living a rich and explorative life and watching the passions and the tastes of the world change. she enjoyed the feeling of being powerful and the chance to explore things she'd never felt brave enough to when she lived. however, part of working with her mother required her playing the part of a lure for young girls that Lilita hand-selected for sacrifice. while she didn't kill them personally, she did feed on many of them, and manipulated them all. she never asked what happened to them until it was far too late. ♥ a bloody swath through history. during this time with Mattie and Maman, her viciousness and violence were not only allowed, but encouraged. she killed many and had little in her life to remind what how wrong it was. in fact it was something that she put together much later. ♥ loved and lost. after about 100 years of chasing marks for her mother, eventually Carmilla fell for one. she made plans to run away with Elle to New York, to see the newly-opened metropolitan museum of art and escape the caging expectations of both of them. however, she had never confessed her vampirism to Elle and when her Maman hinted her undead state to her lover, Elle betrayed her and condemned her for her vampirism and turned her over to the woman that Carmilla was attempting desperately to save them both from. ♥ bloody interment. as punishment for her betrayal, Lilita made sure Carmilla knew that Elle would die because of her and then buried her in a coffin of blood to drown eternally with her regrets. she was buried for decades and only got out during WW2. ♥ forced service. once her mother rediscovered her, there was little choice in returning to her service. however, the tides had certainly turned and Carmilla no longer enjoyed a spot at Lilita's right hand. their relationship is controlling and abusive and she reacts accordingly. she was unable to say no for fear of what her mother might do. ♥ quiet annoyance. she wasn't able to obviously rebel, however, she fought back in the ways she could. she tried to figure out her mothers plans, to destroy them. she would send girls back to families and different schools and different futures, instead of letting them be taken by her mother. however, Lilita had plenty of other vampires in her service, and while Carmilla saved a few, in the end other girls still got sacrificed. ♥ intentional disinterest. she has been burned all too many times by caring too much and feeling for things that end up temporary. thusly, she tries to present a visage of nonchalance and uncaring. it isn't necessarily accurate, but she tries. it takes a great deal to work her up and she avoids being attached to things. ♥ centuries of self hatred. while she enjoyed the first few decades of her undead afterlife, she soon came to hate herself and what she was quite viscerally. specifically after Elle's betrayal and the fact that because she was vampiric none of their time together mattered anymore, though that hatred has been plenty cultivated by time and awareness of exactly how horrible she is. she knows she's done terrible things and she doesn't expect forgiveness from anyone, much less herself. ♥ expectation of violence. her reaction to things is frequently to destroy them or murder them if they are a threat to her. that comes much in part by her years with her mother, and while these days usually she only kills for the sake of self-preservation, sometimes old habits die hard and she leans into those responses as they are much easier than trying to talk it out and feel things. |
