I haven’t read Prince Lestat yet, but yesterday, browsing the web, I found out about Viktor. I’m very curious to know his story because I understood something but in the network there is not much about him… Can you help me understand who is he?

You probably wanted a REAL answer, but I don’t want to spoil ya. Hit the jump for spoilation.

(For headcanons and to talk to a Viktor RPer, go to @viktor-de-lioncourt(who uses Jordan Sörbom as a FC) or @roselioncourt, both of whom care quite a lot more than I do about this character.)

Viktor is Lestat’s biological son, created during the course of Prince Lestat. In the mid-90s (I think?) Lestat had encountered some vampire doctor/scientists (they are vampires trained in and interested in the study of vampirism, running a lab just for that) and they *ahem* collect a biological sample from Lestat, with his full compliance.

HOWEVER, without his consent or knowledge, they use his sample to make baby Viktor! Baby Viktor has a mortal mother, so presumably, the DNA needed a little tinkering to make it work; Viktor is considered partially a clone, and in appearance he seems to be a carbon copy of Lestat (slightly taller, IIRC).

Lestat doesn’t know he fathered him until Viktor is no longer a baby (he’s at least 20?) and is used as a pawn in the shaking up of the vampiric matriarchy, so to speak. Father and son get reunited, everybody’s happy.

It’s unclear whether Lestat is also Viktor’s vampiric maker, he had asked Marius to be involved, and we might get more specifics in the next VC, Blood Paradise

Louis is always Lestat’s fave, tho! We all know that.

matthew clavane. armand.

(BTW I have a few more Armand casting suggestions sitting in my inbox, you’ll see more at some point)

I couldn’t find any gifs of Matthew Clavane, acting requires the face in motion, obviously, so it’s hard to say. But physically I wouldn’t kick him out of bed he has the right amount of ice and tenderness in his features (Armand is from Kiev, which according to AR is in Russia and according to the google is in the Ukraine so idek), looks like he could be Russian/Ukrainian, and he could definitely pass for 17. Lookit those kissable lips, you can see why Marius had to rescue him!

^Gonna need a nice warm coat when u go visit your folks in a frozen tundra 😉

^CU bc of reasons. Little ice prince.

Hit the jump for a few more.

^I really like how pronounced his birthmarks are in this pic, especially the lip one. There’s charm in imperfection, and it gives him an even more boyish appearance. I couldn’t find a pic of him smiling but I assume he is capable.

image

 ^I’ll forgive his awful hat that I tried to crop out as much as possible bc it’s TopMan and bc the blouse and velvet blazer are 70’s glam and kind of A+ on him.

In your mind, who do you think are the right person(s) to play Nicki? As an adult

As usual, I gotta say that it’s not JUST about appearance, so I’m open to suggestions, and it would need to be someone who can make the transition between mortal and vampire really well.

THAT SAID: I would be looking for someone close to their 20’s, or looks like it, with luscious dark hair, A+ artist brooding skills, a smile that can melt your heart, and an almost feral edge, this is not your boy-next-door, but someone w/ razor sharp wit ever at the ready to stab you with, but he keeps it back as much as he can. Leashed cruelty.

Major plus if they can play violin, too, bc I know ppl are going to be watching their damn fingering and will criticize them up and down, even if they get training with it, bc violinning is such a huge part of that character.

Some ideas (in no particular order), and there are more in my #Nicolas de Lenfent tag, I’m just picking some favorites here:

Young Hugh Dancy:

So Hugh Dancy is not this age anymore, but we could find someone who resembled him at this time, as a starting-off point.

image

90’s!Trent Reznor:

Same comment as for Hugh. Must be someone out there who looks like Trent did at this age. Trent could look like an almost-feminine beautiful mess,

image

And he could look like he was barely tolerating your idiocy:

Model Miles McMillan:

Nicolas RPer @a-misunderstanding-my-love​ uses model Michael Gandolfi (and others, I think?):

image

Nicolas RPer @darknessmolten uses David Garrett (who actually CAN violin!)

90’s!Skeet Ulrich:

Model Jonas Kesseler:

Wow you have certainly been digging deep, that was from 2014!

[Anon is referring to this post here if u want to hear Nicolas’ voice]

[And it was paired with an image that appears to be of model Tomek Szczukiecki][so maybe it’s him?]

Sorry to tell ya that I DON’T KNOW WHO THE AUDIO IS FROM ;A; AND THE ORIGINAL POST DIDN’T TAG HIM, EITHER. @devilsviolinist was the original poster and I’m not sure if that mun is active… try asking them and report back if you find out.

Paging @takemetocoffin-or-losemeforever! Halp. This is in French and you are my go-to Frenchie Fry!
