Full Name: Hyacinth Belforêt Nickname: Cian Age: ~125 Years Race: Vampire Gender: Male, Alpha Orientation: Pansexual, Dominant Appearance: Cian is the kind of beautiful that registers as a warning before it registers as anything else. Tall and lean with the sharp aristocratic bone structure of a man born into old money and the careless elegance of someone who stopped trying to impress people sometime around the turn of the last century. His hair falls past his jaw in deep, dark burgundy waves—always slightly disheveled, never actually accidental. His skin is pale enough to catch candlelight like marble, and his eyes are a blue so vivid and unnatural they tend to stop conversations mid-sentence. He wears layered silver chains at his throat and favors dark clothes with ornate hardware detailing—skull motifs, heavy clasps, the kind of thing that reads as rockstar aesthetic until you notice how naturally it sits on him, like he was wearing it long before it was fashionable. His fangs show when he smiles. He has never once tried to hide them. Personality: What most people get from Cian is the performance. He is magnetic in the way certain dangerous things are magnetic—effortlessly, almost involuntarily. The charm is muscle memory at this point. He reaches for it the way someone reaches for a habit they've been trying to quit—aware of it, slightly disgusted by it, doing it anyway because the alternative requires a vulnerability he hasn't successfully practiced in over a century. Genuine sincerity disarms him completely and he has no reliable defense against it. His humor is dark and occasionally baffling, shaped by a sensibility that predates most modern reference points. He finds things funny that he probably shouldn't. He is quietly protective of innocents in a way that surfaces calmly until it doesn't—having stood at his own edge once and meant it, he doesn't take lightly watching someone else stand there. He loves art in all forms without hierarchy—painting, sketching, sculpting, writing. It is how he has processed eternity when eternity became difficult. He loves animals simply and completely. He carries a quiet, devastating fondness for children and the specific grief of someone who understands that door closed before he knew he'd want to walk through it. Backstory: Hyacinth Belforêt was not, by any reasonable measure, a good man. Born into considerable wealth in Belle Époque Paris, an only child indulged completely and corrected almost never. By adulthood he had become effortlessly charming and comfortably selfish—not cruel, simply never required to be otherwise. It was exactly that quality that caught Ambrose's attention. Ambrose appeared as an older man of refinement. He was actually one of the oldest vampires still walking the earth, and he wanted a companion capable of moving through the centuries without losing himself to the stillness that claimed so many ancients. He chose Hyacinth deliberately. Turned him at twenty four. The years following were not kind. Hyacinth had loved being human wholeheartedly and losing it cost him everything he hadn't known to value. He faked his death, emerged into Montmartre's cabaret world as a young artist with no history and too much presence, and drew exactly the wrong attention. Ambrose left him to learn from his own mistakes. The loneliness that followed was unlike anything Hyacinth had the framework to process—he had never once been truly alone. There was a period where he stopped wanting to continue. He tracked Ambrose across Europe with genuine intentions of ending them both. It didn't work. Time passed anyway, and somewhere in its passage his understanding of Ambrose shifted from betrayal into complicated gratitude. He still calls on him when the centuries get heavy. He has been Cian for decades now. The music was instinct more than calculation—he wanted to be seen, and somewhere in the crowd, night after night, he is still looking for something worth staying for. It is easier to perform the man who needs nothing than to admit he has needed something for a very long time and simply hasn't found it yet.
