place of birth; the kingdom

history;
godfrey's parents were hated by almost everyone, not only did they force feed their child human blood, but they tried to get other parents to do it as well. pureblood vampires were not obligated to drink human blood, any blood of have sufficed for the pureblood, and yet his parents thought that pureblood vampires should only drink human blood.

he witnessed his parents stealing certain human beings, bringing them to their home and then killing them so that his father could drag him from his bedroom and force him to feed on the humans. he was traumatised by this and spent years avoiding other pureblood vampires, no matter how many times they've assured him that they don't blame him for what happened.

not so surprisingly his parents were sentenced to be beheaded by the vampire king for their illegal acts that they've performed on their son and human beings. godfrey was sent to live with his grandfather, godfrey the first, godfrey was around ten years old at this point and he thankfully had a close relationship with his grandfather so living with him would not have been as weird as most would think.

godfrey the first was afraid that godfrey would become like his father, and so godfrey the first found an elder who was willing to become a guide for godfrey and help godfrey keep away from the life godfrey's father had. godfrey the first was happy with his decision on getting his grandson a guider, because godfrey was always at home, doing chores without complaining, reading books when he was done, making lunch and dinner for his grandfather. he was always focused on training and perfecting his senses, his guider helped him with it so that it was beyond the average.

godfrey began to become close with his guider, carmison, at somepoint and despite being so young, godfrey's grandfather approved it. godfrey began to think that maybe he and carmison were meant to be and were quite surprised when they began dating. godfrey noticed that carmison was always so sweet to him but cruel to others, and godfrey became so overwhelmed that he thought perhaps he was too much of an influence on carmison, that he stopped the relationship before it goes too far.

however, apparently, that didn't stop carmison from arranging something with godfrey's grandfather, because carmison had deliberately gone behind godfrey's back and asked godfrey's grandfather for godfrey's hand in marriage. conflicted with whether or not to agree to the marriage, godfrey ended up marrying carmison just to make his grandfather happy, he let carmison know that too.

the wedding was sweet and simple, they invited godfrey's family from all over, the ones who were also against his parents force feeding him human blood. godfrey had ended up greeting ever inviting his family because all they did was warn godfrey that carmison was not who he thought he was; godfrey threatened that if anyone said another word about carmison, he'd force them to leave. it was godfrey's grandfather who walked godfrey down the aisle and was the one who cried during the entire wedding because he was happy.

godfrey nowadays has grown to love his husband and their life has been pretty great so far, godfrey still doesn't like the fact that his husband pretty much forced him to get married, and he gives him the cold shoulder sometimes. but with them living with his grandfather, their grandfather technically, he has no choice but to act like a perfect gentleman with his husband and treat him like a king.


personality; godfrey is the type of man to beg when he wants something, it doesn't matter if he's acting like a child, if he wants something he'll beg for it until he gets it. he does it with his husband a lot. he hates waiting on people and hates standing in lines, his patience is at a all time low as of late and it affects everyone. godfrey would never hurt a human being for as long as he's alive and for that, humans trust him more often then they should. however, godfrey hates humans as much as anyone he knows, and why? because the humans made vampires out to be these gigantic blood sucking assholes who just go around biting random human beings. godfrey is extremely intelligent, no one knows what his IQ is, but they are pretty sure it's higher then normal and that he could beat anyone in a game of smarts. common sense is high in godfrey, and he could probably make you look like an idiot with the way he does things. absolute neat freak, will scream if something was messed with or if the house is a mess, will not blame the maids or butlers for the messes. is completely innocent when with his husband, for he could probably kill someone and his husband would probably not even bat an eye. just kidding...well i don't know, maybe not.

[ ♛ Personality ♛ ]
Carmison is not a walk in the park. He is not an easy person to handle and he is merciless if you even try to "handle" him. He doesn't like to take orders and he certainly doesn't like people getting in his way. He liked things to go as HE planned for them to go. He is a perfectionist and a bit of a neat freak but that can come in handy seeing as he will get a job done fast and also right. Carmison is not a caring person. Afterall he didn't kill his parents because he cared about them. Carmison murdered his entire family in cold blood and erased his last name from existence. Carmison is a natural born leader and he loves to boss others around. Carmison is serious ninety percent of the time but when he isn't, it's most likely because of alcohol. He doesn't like to joke around and he hates the people who joke around. Carmison doesn't let anyone get close to him to the point they would have an effect on his life and emotions. Except for his family, of course. And not the family that he didn't choose, but the ones he fell in love with, like his husband and his beautiful daughter. He loves those two people to no end and they ground him.

[ ♛ History ♛ ]
Long long ago, a vampire was born into a family of very powerful elders and purebloods. They made up an entire clan and they were all family, either by blood or by marriage. The Longhur clan was a home to Carmison Longhur. His many years with his family were miserable and full of fighting and arguments. The Longhur clan was the most hated in the region. The Clan's three elders were horrible leader and decision makers and they led the family into trouble multiple if times. The entire clan was sinful and evil and they made anyone close by fearful of them. Soon all ties and communications with the clan disappeared and they were left isolated in their land. The Longhur family turned on eachother and the biggest clan did something that should never even be spoken of in the vampire community. No humans were left for the Longhur family so the clan began killing their own kind because of their thirst for blood. Carmison watched his own brother kill his father for his blood. Carmison spent his days hiding in the locked basement as he heard screams and moans and groans from the house above as his clan whittled down to nothing. Carmison had enough by then and he marched up with an axe. He killed any Longhur he saw in sight. He didn't do it for the blood but to end the reign of the Longhur name. Carmison was only a hundred or so years old then and in his years alive he never witnessed happiness while being with his family. So he killed them all and forgot his last name. It's not something he likes to talk about and it's not something many people know. To him and to the rest of the world, Longhur doesn't exist.

Carmison became a nomad and moved from place to place, drinking only a little bit of blood from humans so he wouldn't be caught. It wasn't enough to fulfill his desires but it was enough to survive. He went from place to place, seeking shelter but all he did was wreak havoc. No one wanted to be Involved with a Longhur. Carmison went into hiding and he stayed invisible in a small cottage in the forest. He only went out to get supplies and to get food but even then, he was hidden by a cloak. No one saw his face for years. As years went by, the Longhur clan became just a story and a myth and soon people forgot about them and they forgot about Carmison. Carmison finally came out of hiding and he became a part of society once again. But years of living alone made him cold to the rest of the world and he continued living in isolation. Little by little, he turned vampires and made them into his own clan. He became an elder and he spent years developing his powers and training to get stronger. He might be merciless but he was a fair leader.

On a voyage, Carmison met a lovely woman named Jemma. At first, he planned on drinking her blood but his heart was captured by her beauty. He spent month giving her gifts and wooing her with his charm. He has never fallen in love before but he immediately knew the feeling. Carmison slepyt with many people, men and women, but he never felt anything other than lust toward them. The woman, Jemma, fell for his charm and antics and they decided to get married right away. Jemma was a human but Carmison didn't care. At the time, the relationship between humans and the supernatural was good and they were accepted. Carmison married Jemma and in a year, they had a child together. Jemma didn't make it through child birth and Carmison was left alone to raise the child. He named his daughter Cherry, because the only thing Jemma craved while she was pregnant were fresh cherries. Cherry was half a human and half a vampire. She wasn't immortal and she could die, but she aged slowly. Carmison took Cherry and he went back to his hometown to raise his daughter in the midst of his clan.

Years later, an older vampire comes to Carmison for help. Carmiosn had to deal with his daughter and with ruling his clan but he decided to help the man. Everyone knew Godfrey Francis I and everyone respected and loved the man, including Carmison. Carmison was asked to be a guide for Godfrey's grandson and Carmison agreed. He helped Godfrey with all that he needed but not without bickering and arguments from the both of them. Carmison wasn't used with dealing with a teenage vampire but he learned to be patient with Godfrey. Carmison realized that he had fallen in love once again when Godfrey was about 20 years old. However, Carmison didn't go after the man, seeing as how the last time he fell in love went. He was afraid he would care too much and get his heart broken again. Days passed and Carmison couldn't keep his love hidden. He went to Godfrey's grandfather behind Godfrey's back and he asked for his grandson's hand in marriage. Carmison and Godfrey were married in less than a week and they lived together in Godfrey Francis I 's house. The two loved eachother and Carmison was happy to raise his daughter with the man he loved.

full name; godfrey hannibal francis I
nickname/alias; godfrey I
age; his exact age his unknown, people think he's around one hundred centuries old
date of birth; dead of winter
place of birth; the kingdom

history;
Godfrey I has kept his history a secret from almost everyone who knows him, he lies when they ask about his life before his son, he lies when they ask about his life before his grandson. He's known to be the eldest pureblood in the clan, people come to him first before going to the other elders; he's seen all the wars, he's seen all the battles, he's seen the other helpless fledglings, begging for blood of any kind, he's see it all according to some.

being over one hundred centuries years old has it's perks, while his grandson rules over the Francis name and house-hold, Godfrey I is always known to rule most of the decision making. they say he was alive and at the scene of the Longhur massacare, they say he tried stopping them from eating each other, but had not managed to save them.

it was him who knew who Carmison was the first moment he saw him years after the massacre, it was him who knew exactly what Carmison had done years ago. it was him who didn't tell anyone about what happened , it was him who protected Carmison and watched as he fell in love with a human and then had a daughter. it was him who agreed to the marriage because he could see that Carmison was in love with his grandson, more then he could probably admit.

He paid for the wedding and he planned the wedding, his grandson had just turned twenty one when Carmison and Godfrey III got married. He was glad to be there when Frey finally admitted that he still loved Carmison when they got back from the wedding, for a year he had despised Carmison for arranging a marriage.

any other part of Godfrey's history is unknown and if anyone asks about it, he'll freak out. he currently lives in his home still, he lives with his grandson, carmison and their wonderful little daughter cherry.

personality;
Godfrey I was a fighter when he was much younger, as he grew older with each passing year, he became more frail and perhaps feeding on animal blood for years didn't really help given the diseases they might have possessed. Godfrey is not to be messed with at all, while the man can be as nice as possible, if you make one wrong move at his grandson's or their daughter, you wouldn't be seeing the light of day. Unlike his grandson, Godfrey will make a mess and not even bother to clean it up, even though he is more then able to do so.

Daddy and mummy dearest seriously screwed over their son in the name department. The two aren't even religious and yet they named their children after some figures in the Bible? The irony isn't lost- especially in consideration of how the two turned out and how Cain lived up to his namesake.

But, alas, we are getting ahead of ourselves. Let's start out with the day in which the young lad was born. The two parents were hardly to expect that they would have another child after the especially complicated delivery of their first one, so perhaps they weren't intending to mark their child as evil in the first place. Really, what sort of threat does a five pound, black haired, and blue eyed baby really provide to the world? Either way things were rather good to start off with and his parent showed as much affection as two busy bodies could during the days and nights and between their shifts at work. Growing up with parents who were born into money their work ethic would be surprising to some, but for Cain it meant most of his family happened to be staff members around the house. Before he reached the age of five a true hinderance was born. Abel. The late of the Lazarius' families life. Literally. His often workaholic mother became more attentive of their second born- even laying off of work for the first few months of his life before giving up entirely and devoting all of her hours to him. If there was something that told you he was more unwanted than that moment, you'd be wrong. Cain has a whole twenty two more years to share about his life of being unacknowledged and deemed as worthless- living in his brother's shadow until he made the one choice that truly defines him in his life.

It was only made worse that his little brother idolized him- always toddling after Cain and asking for a bedtime story or if he could accompany him on all of his adventure's outside of the house. The questions were usually met with a sharp no, but over time he felt himself warming up to the little guy. Besides, Cain wasn't heartless. Growing up with his brother as one of his only companions he found that his parents began to pay more attention to him. Instead of the love they showered Abel with they would narrow their eyes in efforts to scrutinize their eldest son and make adjustments to his behaviors. No more coming home with dirty knickers, and if he was going to work in the barn could he at least shower before returning home- and thirteen year olds shouldn't really be drinking. The list of complaints and modifications of Cain's behaviors went on and on as if they feared such minuscule issues would turn their golden son onto a far darker path in his later life. His father in particular was easily temperamental about his back talking- and talking in general- often establishing unneeded punishments that certainly made him more bitter towards the man. At this point he'd also considered him to be a father with no knowledge of the fact he was bastard born. It should've been obvious though considering his brother's lighter hair and ivory green eyes that matched both of their parents' eyes.

Eventually the young boy learned not to be led so strongly by his emotions and he separated himself from his family. Over the years he had been stealing the spare money his father left laying around the house with awareness that the older man would never notice. Cain had also managed to steal some of his mother's jewels from right under her nose. Despite their inability to notice these things he was still surprised when he took off during one particularly cold January night and didn't hear a single word from them again. With that physical separation from his family he also needed to shed any ties that would mark him as a Lazarius. Needless to say that Laz sounds just the same, but he wasn't the brightest of pupils and his education was never handled as finely as his brother's.

Unfortunately, that fateful day where he left wasn't the last of which he heard from a member of the Lazarius household. Settled nicely in an apartment above a bakery Cain had enough money to support himself for years. Hell, he could bring some of the jewels and gold to his grave if he wanted to. It was May, that year, when his brother showed up with a knapsack over his shoulders and an undeniable grin on his face. Therefore, he was left with no other choice as he invited his brother back into his world and into his life.

There’s no doubt that he would live to regret that singular choice later in his life as well.

Over the years he actually formed a stronger bond with his brother than he ever intended. They had each other’s backs through everything- even after stumbling upon the truth of the supernatural. Granted it wasn’t the entire truth, but Cain was no doubt disgusted by the creatures of the night that they did come across. They feasted on blood and there was nothing humane about them.

For a while that was on the back of his mind when Alain Defrane came into his life- or he should say his brother’s life. Automatically he was taken with her, developing an infatuation even if she was his brother’s girl. She was young, full of light, and brought a smile to his face that no one, aside from his best friend, had seen in a long long while.

Eventually his feelings towards her morphed into jealousy that he began to hold towards his brother. From birth itself he’d always gotten whatever he wanted- starting with their mother and father’s love and developing all the way up until this girl. Something in him… snapped. Sure, Cain would like to say he has a good amount of control and can keep himself together no matter what the situation calls for, but he just couldn’t. A whole chain of events occurred. First, Cain managed to get the girl, stealing her away from his brother and wooing her with some well learned seductive methods. It was a further slap to the face when his brother was quick to get over the relationship and enter something entirely new- engaged only months later. Alain, herself, didn’t seem to take as much offense as Cain did. Who could get over such a girl so easily and throw it in their faces? It only hurt him further to see the pain reflected in his own lover’s eyes and knowing that she wasn’t entirely over his brother…

So yes, this is the part where Cain lived up to his namesake. He killed his brother. For the second time in his life he chose himself. The details are dirty, and nothing that Cain has ever spoken about, but he managed to turn his brother. Somehow he couldn’t do the horrible deed all on his own, his love for his brother still buried deep within his heart. Being one for absolute dramatics he returned home and made plans for his brother’s funeral. Only once did his brother show up back at his door after the incident. At this point in time he has no knowledge of his brother. Never once has he regretted his choices, especially after Alain found out what he had done and accused him of being a monster. Perhaps he was, but she chose the biggest monster of them all- his brother. Even after all that time they had together she decided that Abel was the one she wanted. With the fiance and everything else in between she couldn’t even stand to look at Cain as she went out to find his brother. A real shame that was considering his vampire brother soon ripped her head off upon what Cain can only assume was a lovely reunion. In terms of his brother’s ex fiance the two became rather close, as he took her in as a sister and the two lived together until his own sentence caught up to him.

After facing his own heartbreak with Alain’s death he eventually found comfort in someone new. Multiple someones, actually. What he didn’t want and he wasn’t expecting was to catch feelings, much less catch feelings for a man. Not to say he hadn’t had frequent sexual encounters with them, but he’d never really pictured himself in a relationship with one. A part of him still wanted to please his parents, one day showing up to his mother with a grandchild of hers on each hip. Of course, if things actually ever managed to work out for Cain things would’ve gone swimmingly. No doubt he was taken with everything from the man's smile to his personality. On one particular evening he came upon the truth though. The person he was slowly giving his heart to was dead- not entirely human at all. Already involved with the Queen’s knights (at this point) he put his feelings aside and tried to confront the problem head on. In his training he had learned to dispatch of the supernatural- if only he hadn’t hesitated in his deliverance of a nice long winding speech about love, life, and everything in between. His love for words obviously led him to the situation he is facing now. Drained of all of his blood, Cain became a member of the dead as well.

Bloodlust has been easier for him than it has been for his brother, but that doesn’t mean he enjoys his new vampire lifestyle. The need to feed does not consume him, but he got his revenge where he could. First with his mom who never stood up for him and then with the man who had been absent for most of his childhood unless he wanted to take out his anger. As of yet he has not had a meet up with his brother in this new life and he doesn't plan to. He's also doing his best to maintain normalcy in his life and return to his knightly duties and avoid Ciro. It really doesn't help that he's sired to him. When will his life not be a bitch?
