Annoying • Affectionate • Flamboyant • Contrite

A flighty, obnoxious vampire that loves pestering people and playing games, and hates talking about anything serious, especially things to do with his past. Alois loves pressing peoples' buttons and seeing how far he can go before they snap, taking any anger or annoyance at him after the fact as something silly on their part. He keeps everyone at a distance from himself, maintaining a devil-may-care, flamboyant, and extremely fake persona so that no one thinks there's anything deeper lying under it. Alois has a lot of pain, guilt, and self-hatred in his heart, but it's too much work and emotional vulnerability to unpack all that, so he just won't. ;^)

History

Alois is the oldest son of the Cazenave family, and therefore was the first in line to help his father with the soul extractions via ritualistic killings necessary to keep the demon their family is indebted to at bay. He wasn't a fan of that, unbelievably, and despite knowing he would be forcing his younger brother into this role with his absence, that didn't stop him from running away from home. In order to stop the curse killing him due to not sacrificing any souls to the demon, he lets a vampire, Leraje, turn him. He did not think this through very well, as he still has to drink blood to live as a vampire, and while he's very careful to never take even a bit more than absolutely necessary, he's still paranoid about killing anyone.

Misc

• Always knocks out his prey because he's overwhemlingly paranoid about accidentally killing anyone, and wants to make sure they can't intervene. Never lets anyone see him feed because it's the only time his mask breaks and he can be seen as the anxious mess he is. Probably cries afterward
• Still remembers all the fancy pants rich people lessons he learned as the heir to the Cazenave family but does nothing with it, don't remind him
• Absolutely despises being ordered around or having people expect anything at all from him actually
• Constantly wants to go check on his family but always talks himself out of it
• Relishes in being able to publicly look and act like a slobby mess; his clothes are always raggedy and loose and his hair is a rat's nest
