Hey there! If you're interested I would absolutely love to rp my Alexiel with Karloff. Alex has a past filled with pain, similar to Karloff's.
brief synopsis of Alexiel's past:
When he was still in his basket his parents and siblings were brutally murdered by the skinwalker Wyrm, and all he heard were the screams. His basket was later found by a kind mare who took him in as her own and as children sometimes do he blocked out the horrific memory of his parents. All he knew was that he had frequent nightmares of screaming voices and pain but he did not realize these were repressed memories. Later he was driven away from his adopted mother by her daughter, who told him he was adopted and would never be loved. So he ran away from the only home he had ever known and coincidentally ran into the Wyrm. Wyrm dragged out Alex's repressed memories, retelling him the details of the murder of his parents and siblings, and how he had left Alexiel alive as a game. Wyrm then let Alexiel run away, knowing he had filled the young foal with hatred and fear.
Ever since then as Alexiel grew he devoted himself to fighting, to learning to hunt and kill those who harmed the innocent. He found a teacher, who taught him how to fight and kill kalona and skinwalker and his entire existence was bent of saving others from the fate he had gone through, and searching for Wyrm so he could finally kill him and avenge his family. He lived a dark life and though he knew he would probably die in the fight with Wyrm he didn't care. All he lived for was revenge. The only thing that finally made him realize there was more to life than this was when he re-encountered his adopted mother, and discovered she had been searching for him all this time and that she had always loved him like her own son. And it was after this time as he was recontemplating his life he met his future mate and began to realize there was more to life than just revenge.
So basically Alexiel is older and wiser now and has for the most part given up the lifestyle of hunting kalona and skinwalker. But I think he would understand Karloff better than most, though the path Karloff wants to take is the opposite Alexiel took. I'm thinking Alex might be able to show Karloff that he isn't alone, that there are others like him and that becoming a skinwalker isn't the answer.
