Revision as of 20:02, 4 March 2009

Nicolas de Lenfent is a vampire from the Anne Rice novel The Vampire Lestat, played by Sarrin. Originally meant to antagonize Maggie's Armand, he has since become her most-frequently-played character and has usually several threads going on at once.

His name is pronounced as though it were French, because it is. That is to say - no 's'.

Backstory

Within the novel, Nicolas de Lenfent is a more-or-less minor character, a rather ambiguous friend of Lestat's (not finally called his lover until Tale of the Body Thief, and only once), a young and cynical 18th century violinist who is kidnapped by the coven of Les Innocents to lure Lestat and Gabrielle to them, and turned into a vampire by Lestat shortly after being rescued. Quite mad, and very hostile towards Lestat, he founds the Theatre des Vampires and remains there several years, behavior reckless at best. At one point his violin-playing is so manic that Armand, the unofficial leader of this drama troupe, removes his hand and imprisons him in Lestat's Tower for several days without blood. Upon having his hands returned to him, Nicolas writes a stack of new plays for the theater and demands a funeral pyre.

'VerseNicolas has a considerably expanded history, and Sarrin and Maggie have since decided the boundaries of his and Armand's relationship. At first they believed they'd be hostile towards each other, but since then they have learned the relationship is not so simple.

Verse Plot

Armand

Nicolas blames the vampire Armand for his continued existence, and faults him for not having scattered his ashes, but in truth is not certain how he came to still be alive. He and Armand have a tense but occasionally intimate relationship. After a comment from Armand that Nicolas found particularly cutting, Nicolas attempted to draw his attention in a string of lurid and highly-publicized murders. Armand invited Nicolas to live with him in Lestat's Tower afterwards, so as to prevent him from doing any such thing again. Nicolas, however, remains unaware that Vincent Chevalier is currently also staying in the tower and when he discovers this it shall be fantastic. Not for him, though.

Nicolas is rather fixated on Armand. It has been duly noticed by his other acquaintances. He has been ever unable to cease focusing on the fact of Armand's having kidnapped him. When not breaking his fingers or calling him Nicki, Armand is amused by this and refers to it to himself as Stockholm Syndrome.

They have a theme song, which is 'In Your Room' by Depeche Mode, based upon their time in the tower, reflecting Nicolas' little obsession with Armand and that particular time in his life rather nicely with the lyrics:

In your room

Your burning eyes

Cause flames to arise

Will you let the fire die down soon,

Or will I always be here?

Aurel

Shortly after meeting Armand, Nicolas met Aurel, through breaking into his chateau, and was staying with him a short while. Although their meetings have been short and brisk - often involving a good deal of hostility - when Nicolas came to him and informed him that he would be staying with Armand from then on in, a curt conversation about intimacy and love began that ultimately ended with them having sex on the floor of Aurel's library. This instigated some c-box gossip at the time, as Nicolas was simultaneously flirting madly with Aurel's half-vampire daughter, Lune, not knowing that the two are related.

This moment has a theme song, which is 'Take Me On The Floor' by the Veronicas, because I said so.

Lune

Lune is a beautiful half-vampire Nicolas met after his first brutal murder. Although they hardly know each other, around each other they act like starry-eyed high school students, only they exchange blood instead of phone numbers. Nicolas has no idea that he has just slept with her father.

This couple also has a theme song, which is 'Angry Angel' by Imogen Heap.

21st Century

Maggie and Sarrin have several threads going on, including Facebook and Myspace ones, in which Armand and Nicolas interact in the 21st century.

Nicolas has also met Daniel Molloy, Dorian Gray, and Lucy Harris.

Appearance

Nicolas' icon is of French actor Damien Sargue, for the simple reason of his being the Romeo in the French version of the musical Maggie got Sarrin completely obsessed with, which makes this extremely amusing.

Nicolas is tall for the 18th century, with very long and very curly - and very messy - chestnut-colored hair, tied back in a queue as was the fashion in his day. He is rather slim and youthful in appearance, having been about 20 at his death. Although he was once rather fastidious in appearance, he can't comprehend 19th century fashion and generally sports ill-fitting and dusty clothes. His hair, too, is more than usually dusty, although as an Anne Rice vampire it looks like a doll's hair gathering dust rather than how a mortal would look under similar circumstances.

Injokes and Phrases of Importance

"Like... a puppy."

"Not like a puppy."

This is an OOC remark of Maggie and Sarrin that has been repeated multiple times and shall never die.

Nicolas frequently compares Armand to a choirboy (a reference to the remark "Liar, with the fact of a choirboy" that Lestat makes of Armand in The Vampire Lestat).

Armand's mentioning Lestat is rarely a good idea, although Armand is a bitch and likes to do it anyway.

If anyone ever reads a thing about Nicolas, Lestat, and a hayloft, may they just know that is another injoke.

Night Island shall doubtless spawn countless injokes, especially as Maggie has already illustrated two of the to-be ones, including:

  • Armand and Nicolas watching films while Nicolas makes bag after bag of endless popcorn, obsessively staring at the microwave more than he does at the television screen; and,
  • Armand involving Nicolas in his blender obsession.

Likewise hilarity has ensued as Armand has introduced Nicolas to a clothing store, and they have bashed Lestat's books repeatedly. This will become a hobby.

They have yet to visit the Budapest theater and steal clothes from the performances or to visit a supermarket and hook Nicolas on winning prizes from those claw machines.

Regular Verseplot has yielded its own hilarity, too, as Nicolas shall soon present Armand with the rings he's stolen for him, and eventually shall became fixated on flowers, which is also a song, 'Flowers', by Emilie Simon:

I want to buy you flowers

And now I'm standing in the shop

I must confess, I wonder

If you will like my flowers...
