Perhaps because of the blood, perhaps because of his past, or maybe even a combination of the two, Armand has a sort of dark fascination in things as well, very much like the child that rips wings from a fly to see the wings better, and then see how the fly survives. It isn't always quite so violent, and after meeting Lestat he returns to his original methods of hunting only the evil-doer, but even then, he has a sort of controlling possessiveness that leads him to have the desire to rip the hair off of one of his victims after they already died because it was beautiful, though he planned to toss it aside later. It was mostly morbid curiosity

Background: Armand was known as Andrei as a human child in Kiev Ruz. He was capable of creating beautiful paintings of holy figures, and revered by the priests for his talents. His father saw his skills as a money-maker as much as he saw it as a holy blessing, though even he was brought to tears by the beauty of his paintings. The priests expected him to eventually join the other priests who had buried themselves in the walls of the monastery, and Andrei had no objections, though his father had a great amount of disdain for the idea. Andrei had been commissioned by a noble figure to create one of these idols, and left with his father to deliver it shortly after his father had an argument with the monks over Andrei being buried alive

That does not mean that they didn't get into trouble. Several times Amadeo came home terribly drunk, and once even needed to be rescued from the channels by his equally drunk friend, Ricardo. They both got into a great deal of trouble for this excursion, and even though he swore that he wouldn't drink again, he got drunk the very next night

He lived happily with Marius for many months, and even had the time to make peace with his past and visit his family one last time. Things seemed to be going very well until a vampire cult called that called themselves Children of Darkness set fire to the mansion and to Marius. They kidnapped Amadeo and made him watch as they threw each of his friends, the other children of Marius into the fire, except for Ricardo. Amadeo thought him spared, though he was not able to think much on it, as he was tortured with thirst, starved until he was blinded by hunger and barely able to conceive a fraction of a thought. In this hunger, Ricardo was thrown to him, and he desperately fed on the blood, unable to recognise his friend. Having drank, he realized who it was, and this caused his will to shatter, allowing Santino, the coven leader, to teach him their ways

He lived with Louis for some time, travelling with him until it became apparent that he would never really recover from Claudia's loss. Later, he spent some years playing a game of cat-and-mouse with the human boy from Interview, Daniel Malloy. He first threatened Daniel's life, treating it as a game and having him run, though in time he used Daniel to learn how the modern age worked, having fallen out of tune with it after spending so long sleeping. They built a strange relationship, where Daniel went back and forth from staying with Armand, begging from him the Dark Gift that Night Island, a paradise Armand built in time for them, and then ruining himself on the streets, living as a vagabond and drug addict until Armand picked him up. One day, when Armand picked him up, he was too far gone, and rather than loose him, Armand finally turned him, only to find that the blood had driven him mad. He ended up living in the care of Marius, though Armand was only further embittered by this failure, even if now he managed to live in the

In addition to these gifts, Armand possesses incredible strength, so much so that even when weak from severe injury, lack of blood, and a younger age than he is now, he was able to bend an iron bar with apparent ease. He could easily shatter bones, or even strike through stone if he so needed. There are few vampires that could match his strength, being counted as among the ancient vampires. He also can move fast enough to seem to have teleported, and his cloud gift allows him to move just as fast. Like all other vampires, his eyesight is also far more acute than any humans, as well as his sense of smell

Sample Journal Post: [The camera flashes to show a boy with auburn curls, looking to be about 17. He has an innocent, youthful face, and seemingly impossibly pale skin, matched with flushed pink lips pulled into a slight pout.] Oh, come now, ah, [it turns out that he still has some issues with technology that is completely new to him, it seems, but now that it's working his expression has softened to seem more like the serene looks of Botticelli's angels.]
Hello. I am Armand, and I would be glad for some explanations. Perhaps more importantly, has anyone seen a young woman obsessed with playing the piano named Sybelle, or a young tanned boy named Benji?
Sample RP: Most would think him a monster for this

Armand is still in many ways like a young, spoiled teenager. He can be petty and childish, and still has quite a bit of work to do in finding his own. He doesn't like to be outdone or outshone, and will respond to that, along with anyone who might try to look down on him with snideness and sarcasm. While Lestat might have been called the “Brat Prince”, Armand gives him a good run for his money. He's rebellious, doing actions almost to spite someone he perceives as an authority, but his true bratty-ness comes from his self-centred behaviour. He is usually more concerned about himself than other people, for example, when he turned Daniel so that he could still have his company even though he felt that vampirism was a curse more than a gift. He doesn't handle disappointment very well either- going so far as to burn his entire coven when they dissented, even if there were other motivations behind that as well

His desire to understand also lead him to seek Daniel's help in learning about technolgy, which developed into a deep fascination with the topic. For hours he would sit infront of the TV, watching things as seemingly mundane as himself sleep, or as incredible to him as a vampire as the sun rise. He developed a love for the new technology and it's simplicity, while that simplicity being offered by such a complex source. He even builds an entire island filled with the most advanced technology, as well as everything that could be needed for humans to party and enjoy themselves. In his own private areas he has all sorts of pieces of technology, and even will take apart things to try to see how they work.
