Too much noise and an introduction to one of my characters.

[Angel]

Migraine is mostly gone, only a little residual pain.  I'm really tired though.

 

Noise is really bothering me today.  People in the hallway shouting or talking too loud, echoing, echoing...  to each other and on their phones too!  Its the courthouse and my office is in the main hallway so we get to hear it all.  Today I can't tolerate the idiocy out there.  That's the way I feel, I'm sorry.  This place was built poorly every sound echoes, so even if they aren't trying to be its still noisy.  Sometimes people argue/cuss/fight and security has to escort them out, thankfully none of that today.  Just too much sound.

 

Its almost over, soon I'll be in my car with my music.  No counseling until next week though, got to remember to drive straight home.  My therapist had to cancel our appointment.  We usually meet every Tuesday, but she has the flu.  Hope she feels better soon.  I'm doing fine so missing the appointment is no big deal.  Yesterday's migraine has left me incredibly tired.  I'll play one of my easy games and try to go to bed early.  I'll daydream myself to sleep.

 

I'm stepping out of my comfort zone sharing one of my characters, but maybe it will help me to put some of this out there.  Vincent is going to give me comfort after a post-migraine tired noise filled day.  I'm not sure who is going to interact with him.  Maybe all his friends will gather to listen to him play piano.  Maybe he will just cuddle his husband to sleep.  I don't know yet.  I figured I'd share something of mine since everyone has been so kind to share some of theirs.  Its been good to relate and not feel so crazy.

 

I'll do it like a character sheet so it can make some sense instead of my ramblings:

 

Name: Vincent Valentine (Blatantly stolen from a video game character, but he's totally different really!)

Race: Human, Caucasian, albino, vampire

Gender: Male

Age: 225+ years (became a vampire at 21)

Orientation: Homosexual

Appearance: Tall, very slender.  Long, straight, white hair.  Pink/red eyes (albino eyes.)  Pale white albino skin, further enhanced by his vampirism.  Usually wears a black suit with a white shirt and a long sword on his left hip.  Very old world gentlemanly in both appearance and manners.  Most people would describe him as beautiful or handsome.

Talents: He is very intelligent.  He's an exquisite painter and pianist.  He is also talented at sword play as any gentleman should be. 

Values: Honesty, manners, friendship, family, professionalism, but also fun, creativity, passion and love.

Other things of note:  He is a character in more than one of my daydream worlds.  He's always a best friend of the "me" character.  He adores her and values her friendship.  If the daydream world has a male version of "me" then Vincent usually becomes his husband.  Depending on the world he is usually friends with a number is wizards or mages since they tend to be more open minded.

Some backstory: When he was still alive he was dying of cancer.  He was living with his parents and sister, who were kind and loving.  A vampire decided that such a unique, beautiful creature should not die and go to waste.  So he made Vincent a vampire against his will.  Because Vincent was unappreciative of his "gift", the vampire and his cohorts murdered Vincent's beloved family and burned his childhood home to the ground.  With the help of his sister's fiance Vincent took revenge on the vampire destroying him, thus beginning a career of vampire hunting.  Eventually he quits vampire hunting because it was unfulfilling and something happened to make him rethink the path he was on.  (That's another story...)  Then one day he meets "me" and befriends her.  She will introduce him to the love of his life (unlife?).  They hang out with all sorts of cool people (In my current world: mages, half-dragons, elves, and sometimes gods!)  Good things happen and bad things happen.  But Vincent by this point has been around for a long time, he seen and experienced a lot.  People often look to him for comfort and guidance.

And I actually used to have 2 gay characters who were vampires as well (but I guess that's not really too much of a coincidence because I had this one daydream where nearly everyone was a vampire).

My character's best friend is also a vampire. (Interesting coincidence!)

[Angel]

Aww, thanks!  I'm glad you like him.  He would be too, if he were real.

Vincent sounds absolutely lovely. :)

I am always amazed at how intricate our worlds and characters are, and how "whole" they feel.

 

I empathize with the annoyances of too much noise. My home is sandwiched in between a busy highway, and loud, obnoxious neighbors. The quiet moments here are becoming less frequent...
