Name: Arthur Briarwood
Age: appears 50
Race Inside the Magic Realm: Vampire
Abilities: He has the usual set of vampire powers. He is faster and stronger than most humans using blood preferably humans to feed on. Once compelled by his eyes people are prone to listen to him almost as if hypnotized.
While garlic and holy water just sort of give him a bad stomach ache, he is vulnerable to being killed or tortured the old fashioned way by being stabbed in the chest and burned afterwards. Or not being fed for too long draining him from his life force.
Occupation: In the real world he is a retired opera singer / actor. In the magic realm he is a landlord owning a grand mansion with some land.
Backstory:
Arthur Briarwood had always felt like he lived in the shadow of his younger brother Isaac. His brother was always favoured among his parents and always praised for how adventurous he was, especially when he was making a name for himself in the magic realm. His parents had been living in Avalon for a while now having gotten their own tape and being ever so excited to hear their boys had gotten their disc’s. They would always look at their precious world of magic, never looking at the career Arthur was making for himself in the arts as the normal world of Avalon did not interest them.
As he was making a name for himself in musicals due to his incredible singing voice he came to know a young lady by the name of Madeline and fell head over heels for the young costume designer. The two of them soon became friends and Arthur wished to marry her. However after bringing her home to the family a few times he started to notice how she became closer to his brother eventually falling in love with HIM instead. Arthur was furious but tried to hide his anger due to his feelings for Madeline.
The couple got married and had 3 children together. Little Delilah who was a lot like her mother, and little David who was the spitting image of his father. Later came Rosie who was too young to tell. Arthur had always been in the background all his life as his anger was building up, until one day the couple was found dead in the woods.
Arthur decided to take care of the kids as he felt like he owed Madeline at least the idea of her children not being separated by social workers trying to find a family to get them adopted in.
Personality: Arthur is very resentful. If you wronged him he will not forget and forgive. He will go out of his way to ruin your week if not your life. He is very full on himself believing that since he has worked so hard to be famous that he should be treated like such. He is arrogant and always knows how to talk his way out of things. After what happened with his brother and his wife he is pretty bitter thinking love and feelings are only in the way as the only way to achieve things is to work hard and be the best. Even if he is not the best guardian for the kids he cares about them till some extent, he has a soft spot for delilah since she is so much like her mother, while he has a harder time with David since he is so much like his father. He has a lot of bottled up emotions especially anger so when he is angry he seems to be very much intimidating. As he is an actor and opera singer he acts very refined when he is in the company of people he deems important. In the end he is selfish and fueled by wrath as he can not let go of the past.
