Canon: The Vampire Chronicles but mainly Interview with a Vampire the movie with a little of the book thrown in.
Character: Louis de Pointe du Lac.
Timeline: At the end of Interview with a Vampire, when he’s finished telling his life story.
Personality:
On the surface, Louis is a striking beauty. This was the very quality that first drew the vampire Lestat to him. He’s all kind eyes and refined features, and yet he’s unaware or chooses not to acknowledge his own beauty. He has no vanity, and fairly low self-worth.
Emotionally speaking, Louis was not much improved, before and after receiving the dark gift. In life, he mourned the death of his brother; his many personal tragedies had made him long for death. After attaining immortality, he became repulsed by his vampiric nature and disdained his own cravings for blood. One of the first things he said after being changed was “we belong in hell”.
One of his biggest regrets is draining a small girl named Claudia of her blood, and while he didn’t turn her, he’s partly responsible for her creation as a vampire. He’s cost many lives, and that weighs on him, regardless of whether he freely chose to kill them, or whether he did so at Lestat’s behest.
His guilt is a constant part of his character, but it becomes more manageable and subdued as his undead life moves along. Though he has felt anger towards his maker and lover Lestat, he never truly hated him, and on the whole anger is an emotion that he rarely allows himself to show. Louis is the picture of calm in most situations, the water to Lestat’s fire.
His long life has not been without affection. It’s important to him to feel the love of a family, and time passes quickly for him when he does. He cares deeply for Lestat and Claudia, and he has the capacity to care for others. He often overlooks or rationalizes the terrible things his loved ones do.
Armand became one of the few vampires to ever draw Louis’ anger out in full force. His anger is the flipside of his calm nature: a wild and untamed thing he’s always trying to contain. In his worst moments, he’s more like Lestat then he’d ever care to admit.
Louis is also very curious and eager to learn about other vampires, and the history of their kind. He was convinced for the longest time that Lestat had the answers, and only refused to share them. He’s keenly interested in educating himself and gaining knowledge.
He is many things: dark, contemplative, romantic, collected and yet victim to great passions. Above all, he remains the most human of vampires.
Background:
In 1791, the mortal Louis de Pointe du Lac ran a plantation near New Orleans, along with his brother. His brother spent more time praying in the oratory than actually running the plantation, but Louis hardly cared. As their father was dead, he was the master of their house; and provider to their widowed mother, and younger sister. Louis's brother began seeing visions of the Virgin Mary and St. Dominic, telling him to sell the indigo plantations and move to France to work as a missionary. Louis didn't believe him, and dismissed the thought.
He allowed his brother to worship and encouraged his piety, but refused to believe that he had real visions sent by God.
One day Louis and his brother were arguing about the visions, or having “a rather heated discussion”. It ended suddenly and tragically when Louis’ brother fell (or, as it seemed to Louis) was pushed to his death. Blaming himself because of the argument, Louis could not get over his brother’s death, no matter how much he drank Louis could not forgive himself. He moved to New Orleans in an attempt to forget.
While in the new city, Louis lost hope in his life, and put himself in danger getting into bar fights, mainly by starting them. And of course down dark alleys alone, hoping someone might end his suffering. As luck would have it, someone had taken a fancy to him. A vampire named Lestat de Lioncourt.
The Vampire sucked nearly all of Louis's blood but his heart was still beating. Lestat returned for Louis and turned him into a Vampire, because he wanted Louis as a companion, having a love for his beauty and his sadness..
Life as a vampire never really suited Louis, much to Lestat disappointment. There was thrill in killing, and that would follow for the rest of Louis life. Choosing to drink rats over humans. Unfortunately, as strong as Louis will is, he gives in, attacking a small girl and leaving for dead.
And that would have been the end of it. If it had not been for Lestat, he takes the near dead child and turns her. She becomes Lestats and Louiss daughter, Claudia, she settles any animosity that the two elder vampires had between them. And life went on like that, the three of them living almost like a family.
Until Claudia wanted to leave, to find more vampires, begging Louis to come with her. He fears that he can’t go, not without Lestat. Claudia decided to murder Lestat, Louis, who wanted to leave, hardly wanted Lestat dead and refuses to help. Claudia does it anyway and forces Louis to help dispose of the body.
They both flee to Europe and then to Paris, where Louis meets the vampire Armand, and falls in love with him. He makes a new vampire mother for Claudia, Madeleine, so he can leave with Armand. Unfortunately, Armand’s fellow vampires, the vampires of the theatre are told by Lestat of Claudia’s attempted murder. They then kill Claudia and Madeleine by leaving them in the sun while locking Louis away. Louis finds out what was done to Claudia and then after warning Armand, burns down the theatre and kills all the vampires who are in it.
He leaves Paris with Armand, but Armand leaves him in New Orleans after realising Louis isn't going to change.
He spends the rest of his years travelling and watching the world change. Before finally in 1985, Louis tells a reporter, all of this story, which is where he’s picked up from.
Abilities/Additional Notes:
Rapid Healing. Vampire heal fast, much faster than a normal human. A scratch can heal in moments. A stab wound in half an hour.
Louie needs fresh blood daily or he grows weak and sick. He can’t eat from something that’s already dead. That will poison him. It needs to be fresh blood. He also needs to sleep in a coffin during the day as light tends to disagree with him. Catching him on fire and burning him to death.
He has enhanced senses, able to hear things from far away. . Eidetic memory from the moment of becoming a vampire seems to be natural. However, memories of their humans lives, particularly those relating to sensation, fade over the years. They can move faster than the human eye can detect, see in the darkest of night-time, pick one sound out of even the noisiest area, and raise the volume of their voice to painfully loud levels.
Sample Journal Post:
[ The video flutters on to show confused looking amber eyes peering back at the viewer. The vampire frowns briefly before his voice slides out of his parted lips.]
Hello? [ He waits a few moments, clearly expecting an answer before he shrugs and drops the PCD onto the ground and settles down next to it. His hands resting on his knee caps as he peers around the new world.]
Curiouser and curiouser...said Alice to herself.
[ He quoted, mainly to himself as he waited for some indication of what to do next.]
Sample RP:
Louie stared into his cup of fresh blood, his face calm despite his revulsion at the sight of it. He could still hear the giggling in the next room of the whores Lestat had chosen to bring home that night. To freed on them. To trick them into his bed and then let them bleed as he sucked they drink.
He lifted the drink to his lips, the warm liquid falling down the back of his throat, still warm from whatever person Lestat had taken it from. He took a moment to wipe the back of his hand over his lips, clearly off any blood left on it.
The tall dark haired vampire stood from his seat and placed the glass above the fire place as he walked across the room, his shoes echoing on the marble floor. His pale fingers found the golden doorknobs and pushed the doors open.
His eyes taking in the sight of Lestat and the two giggling girls for a moment before he walked past them, making his way for the door at the others side of the room. He could try and stop Lestat, beg him to spare the girls. But what could he do? And it only would upset Claudia if they fought again.
So Louie turned a deaf ear to the sound of one of the girls realising the other was dead. His amber eyed closed as he shut the doors behind him.
What could he have done?
