Vampires, vampires, vampires.... All I see is vampires! (Plenty photos!)
I have the weirdest cough right now.... If I start coughing I can't stop, so I do my damndest to not cough at all. Ever tried stopping a cough? It is NOT easy, but at the moment that is the best I can think off doing. :-P
And yes. Cough-drops and tea. I do my best, people. I do my best.
Oh, and I've updated the Invisible Children-post with more links with information on them if you care to read about it. I'll keep it constantly updated as soon as I see more information.
ANYHOW!
Remember how I promised to post photos of my old cool vampire that I played during the latest LARP? Well, a lot off stuff been going on and I've been tired and just... Blah, so. It hasn't been done. But here goes!
I played a Nosferatu vampire named Janus. Yes, after the old roman two-faced god. On the surface she kept up her look (stylish 1920's look with the help of vampiric powers) and was a diplomat with connections within the high sociaty. However, when she was off duty and wanted to relax, she puttered around with her hobby. She was very, very interested in anatomy... and the human mind. In other words, she liked to cut people up and see what they looked like inside and more or less torture people to see how they reacted. She found this very very interesting. But above all, she was a dimplomat. That was why her sire Zoran, who'd made her a vampire, had taken her to him after all. And she wanted him to approve off her, of course.
She also had a "brother" who was made a vampire before her, Rubio. Rubio, just like Zoran was a warrior, so she had little in common with the two. Zoran, despite being a warrior, was a visionary. He came to the city of Växsjö to take power of the city and make it a meeting ground for vampires where they can meet up, share stories and knowledge. And for this he brought his two childes, Rubio and Janus.
Of course, there was another really old vampire there to (around Zoran's age) that also wanted to take over Växsjö. So much of the LARP there was political intrigues, much meetings and such where Janus did her best to gather supporters for Zoran and talk those that didn't like him over to his side, as the diplomat she was. She ALMOST succeeded. Almost. But not quite. So in the end it ended up in Princes Duel. That is, the two who wanted power of the city aka name themselves the Prince of Växsjö had a duel. This annoyed Janus, since she preferred to talk things through peacefully, but she also knew that when it came to hand to hand combat there was near to no one that could beat Zoran.
And yes. Zoran won. And is now the ruler of Växsjö with Rubio and Janus by his side. So in the end, Janus came out on top since she now is the daughter of the Prince, which gives her quite a great deal of power...
So did I have fun playing this character? YES! So much fun! I am a very social person that likes to talk to people, so to play a character whose main idea it was to talk to people and make them friendly towards her and her family? NOT A PROBLEM! *lol* Of course, I failed some since it ended in a fight, but I'd still say it was a success. Janus was made into a vampire 1780, so she was also the oldest and most powerful vampire I'd ever played! So that was AWESOME as well!
Right then. PHOTOS!
I first bring you peting73 as his character. Johan, a maffioso that was made into a vampire 1980 or so... So a really, really young character. He was really slimy to showing off his hairy chest, having gold chains around his neck, sleeked back hair and trying to talk people up... So awesome! X-D Considering peting73 is the oldest of the LARPers and probably the biggest to, he kinda freaked people out a bit with his slimy character. It was AWESOME to see! Such a laugh! And he said plenty times he had so, so much fun playing the character to!

Sexy ain't he...? *smirk*
Then for Janus family. This is Zoran. He was made into a vampire somewhere between 1200 and 1400... So a really REALLY old vampire. And the entire family was Nosferatus, a cursed clan of vampires. Meaning they are very VERY ugly (monstrous really), unless they use their vampiric powers to hide said fact. Zoran... didn't hide it.
(Clickable for bigger.) (Photo taken by a friend of mine.)
Zoran was played by one of our newer players, and he was so SO nervous about playing such an old powerful vampire. But I must say, he did a brilliant job! So good, and so creepy when he wanted to be! :-D Mayor props for that!
Looks cool doesn't he? He had gloves on that looked like he had red claws, and he had painted his entire face and neck with black/red paint. The coat is really cool to! It is made by another LARPer that he used years, and years ago. For some reason he kept it, and now it got used again!
And then there was Janus "brother" Rubio. :-) The muscular warrior...
(Clickable for bigger.) (Photo taken by a friend of mine.)
Yeah, I've played together with this young guy before... He's the one that studied martial arts for about a year or so in China... A real sweetheart, so nice. And so fun to play with! I've played the mistress to one off his older characters, and let me tell you that was fun! :-D He is probably 10-15 years younger then me, but who gives a fuck? It is just a LARP! And now he played my characters OLDER brother! X-D And he is ALWAYS so good! I doubt he can play evil though, since his own kindness always shines through. ;-)
And then is Janus... She is just as ugly as her "father" and "brother" but being a diplomat and hanging around humans a lot, she has learned how to use her vampiric powers to hide her disgusting ugliness... So here goes.

That was full-figure with the dress, stockings and all...
Sitting in a chair...
(Clickable for bigger.)
You can ALMOST see the 1920's waves in the hair that spicehobbit helped me fix... And a little bit of the makeup to. :-) Not to mention the AWESOME jewelry she let me borrow!
A bit better a closeup...
(Clickable for bigger.)
I adore that jewelry seriously...
I've never been good at doing those eyeliner "wings", so I asked _devilcandy_ to help me with that, which she gladly did! She awesome, but she has moved away from here now, so we don't meet her that much, sadly. :-P But she came especially for this LARP and spent the night in our sofa-bed! Oh, and she always looks epic when she dresses up as a vampire! Much more so then me. :-D
(Clickable for bigger.)
Helene Bonham Carter on crack? Well, _devilcandy_ DID play an insane vampire, so I guess... *lol*
We all promised spicehobbit to post photos from the LARP since she helped us with hair and ideas for outfits, so... I blame her totally for this photo-spam. :-) I hope you enjoyed at least a little?
Whenever my cough is gone, I am going to make that voice-post where I read in swedish. :-) Until then... Laters!
And yes. Cough-drops and tea. I do my best, people. I do my best.
