Charles' Timeline

Lord Charles Viktor Arrhenius
Current age: 232/142*

- 1780: Born in Vadikov, Kreev. Charles' father was a bookkeeper who married into a lordship. His family was technically entitled to high society although they could never keep straight faces at parties. They were rather snarky with their privileged peers and passed this irreverence to their son. Charles had two elder siblings who died in infancy.

- 1808: Marries Katerina Ingmer. They have two children together, Rodolf and Natalie.

- 1811: Charles' father dies and he inherits his title. Not too much changes. He's thirty-one and writes infamously wry columns, essays, and short stories wit

Dead Eyesby *Altalamatox

Another quickie 'reminder-why-I'm-doing-this' art-for-the-self indulgence. It's Vlad, but you can't tell. Unless the gaping abscesses gave it away. Two hours.
_{Vlad lives at the far end of my attention span, because he's clever like that, however it means we don't see him much. He's part of the Network storyverse. In terms of sheer magical might he may be the most powerful character in the cast, a masterful warlock with a specialty in what he calls practical necromancy. He's always been very down-to-earth about his work and a pretty chill person, shrugging off whatever idolism or fame people try to load on him. For his research in the magic of life and death he's won some serious prizes and positions that have set him up nicely, though he believes it's crucial to fight the fear around his field with knowledge and treasures his work as a professor.

Treasured, rather. Vlad botched The Number One Rule of Necromancy (Don't End Up Dead Yourself), some months ago, and only continues to exist because he happens to know a little something about reanimation. He finds himself a lich, with his lifeforce bound within his remains, effectively a spirit possessing his own corpse. Which he spends a frustrating amount of time trying to keep from rotting off his bones.

Vlad is in a race against his own stamina to find a way out of his predicament before he's too weak to fight off decomposition and winds up spending a lonely eternity trapped within his own mind. At the same time, death has reminded him of his family for the first time in too long and he desperately wants to repair things with them. (His adopted parents and his brother's family; Vlad's biological parents are jerks.)

Every day he has is precious. If the end is nigh, he wants to pass as many days with his family as possible, but every day with them is one less spent working towards possibly averting the end entirely, and it's kind of a sad situation.}

This was a "quickie" piece... oh lawd talentrhetr
I seriously love the bit of text attached to this. I love every one of your characters, and the story behind Vlad is both extremely interesting and sweet

~krazykavumaster Feb 18, 2013

This is fantastic. And I always love your writing that goes with it.

T-two hours?...

~Jane-Martin906 Feb 14, 2013

Oh... Oh my god this is so unbelievably sad. T_T

2 HOURS???

~wings33 Feb 11, 2013

ooh, this is lovely... insofar as one can apply the word "lovely" to a reanimated corpse... but yeah. I think you're getting better at this realistical hoomin faces business : )
Really well done!

Holy effin' snickerdoodles. I've been away from DA for so long that your current madartskillz are now on the planes of "HOLY SHIT I'm friends with a rock-star!!!"
