BACKTAGGING: Always!
THREADHOPPING: Please ask but most times I should be okay with it.
FORTHWALLING: In Armand's universe, the books we read are real so absolutely go ahead and say you've read them! Armand expects people to have read them because of ~~that son of a bitch~~ someone publishing all of their secrets. If your character could have read them then go right ahead and say they have. Your character can have read the books or even just seen the movie Interview with the Vampire ~~we don't talk about queen of the damned~~.
PHYSICAL VIOLENCE: Armand is always up for a good fight and he isn't above getting violent just for funsies. Armand himself is extremely fast and strong. How fast? Well, it can look like he's teleporting. Crazy vampire shenanigans. Also he can fly. I know. It's dumb. It's called the ~Cloud Gift~ I know. I hate it too.
SHIPPING/SEXUAL CONTENT: I am all for shipping but Armand is not easy to have a romance with! It will most likely be toxic as well. As for sexual content, Anne Rice vampires are 'asexual' since nothing compares to the pleasure of drinking blood and the kill. With humans, they're willing to do some things and Armand canonically liked watching his boyfriend fuck and be fucked even if he has zero sexual drive himself. Answer is it's not impossible but I don't see it happening lol.

Most vampires in TVC can read minds. Armand is one of them. It is completely possible for Armand to be blocked out but Armand himself tends to read minds as much as he can, especially when interacting with humans. It's a bit of a crutch for him that he relies on a lot. I will always ask permission for Armand to read your character's mind and will never go ahead and just have him do it.

While most vampires can 'charm' people, Armand is particularly gifted in this power. Basically, Armand can make you believe that you're absolutely in love with him and need him. You'll hang off his every word and think that he can give you anything you need. He can make you believe that you're somewhere else or that something is happening that actually isn't. Armand works with illusions. Armand tends to use this power when he meets someone that interests him and it works especially well if your character is emotionally/mentally weak. Much like his mind reading, I will always ask for permission and will not have Armand try to do this without your permission.

The Vampire Chronicles alone is a terrible mess of really, really problematic shit and Armand's past plays a huge role in it. His past includes a lot of child sexual abuse, grooming, and psychologically abusive relationships (which Armand does to his own lovers as well). Not to mention cults and extreme violence that Armand takes a sick pleasure in. Armand does not like to talk about his past to people and so he would rarely mention it but all of this really colors his character. If you would like me to not mention certain things or not tag you at all, that's perfectly understandable! Comments are screened for your privacy.
