You think I'm cute and made of poured wax. You're a bit mean, Armand. You look like an angel and talk like a common thug.

PERSONALITY Armand is a product of a lot of trauma which is a great way to begin for him. Religious indoctrination as he lived in a small, frigid town, to kidnapping and being sold into sexual slavery at a young age, then being kidnapped into a cult and watching all of his loved ones be killed in front of him, and brainwashed into said cult for 300 years; Armand is always discussed as 'sad' and 'damaged'. Which is really the basis for many of his actions. Among his own kind, Armand is known as a cruel killer. You are warned that if you encroach upon Armand's territory, he will absolutely kill you. He's well-known as the former cult leader that tortured other vampires and the murderer of Claudia. He absolutely schemes and will do anything he can to get what he wants. But this really comes from his need for control, something that means a lot to him because he's been shown over and over how important it is to be the one in control. Ultimately, he has always been crafted by others, and trying to be himself is a mystery. He doesn't know what that truly is. Marius wanted him to be the ever seductive and beautiful Amadeo while the Children of Satan wanted him to be the cruel and commanding cult leader. What does he want? Armand can't really say but he craves someone to be able to help him know and understand. He is near obsessive over the idea of anything giving his existence meaning. He doesn't do anything halfway, as many people would attest to. From his constant curiosity for knowledge to his love affairs, he will give it 100% Armand really needs therapy and to learn the phrase "calm the fuck down".

ABOUT Armand was born in 1480 and is over 500 years old. But eternally 17 and looks younger. Known as the Botticelli angel, he's got a bit of a complex surrounding it. Not an easy guy to know or trust, he's more likely to kill someone of his own kind than to make friends. Which is fine because nobody wants to be his friend anyway. APPEARANCE "And there I saw beauty, beauty which has always been my downfall, beauty in a new and celestial form. Heaven had cast down upon this stone floor an abandoned angel, of auburn curls and perfectly formed limbs, of fair and mysterious face. His soft reddish hair was loose and tangled. His flesh was pale and the bones of his face only faintly sharpened by his Slavic blood." "This was a boy, as I had said, and he had a head of long curly hair. But his face was shining white, and perfect, the countenance of a god it seemed, a Cupid out of Caravaggio, seductive yet ethereal, with auburn hair and dark brown eyes." "Your hair's like something spun from amber, as if the amber would melt and could be drawn from candle flames in long fine airy threads and let to dry that way to make all these shining tresses. You're sweet, boylike and pretty as a girl. I wish I had one glimpse of you in antique velvet the way you were for him, for Marius. I wish I could see for one moment how it was when you dressed in stockings and wore a belted doublet sewn with rubies. Look at you, the frosty child. My love doesn't even touch you." ABILITIES Immortality: It's extremely difficult to kill him. He's weak to the sun but it will not kill him, just leave him very badly burnt. The same would happen if he was caught on fire. The only way to actually kill him would be to have his limbs all cut off so they are unable to join again and burn the limbs. He can heal from many injuries rapidly and if he is badly hurt then blood can help him heal much more quickly, especially vampire blood. Of course, he does need to live off of blood but he could go days without it if he wanted. But he doesn't want to. Extreme strength and speed: Being a vampire makes him incredibly strong and vampires only become stronger the older they become. For example, he can easily crush bones and is able to tear a scalp off of a person's head with ease. Armand can also move so fast it looks like he teleported but our silly human eyes can't catch it. Spell Gift: Armand can use his mental gifts for various things, like setting illusions. When Lestat is weakened, Armand sets a spell over him that makes him believe he's back to his old self and they are in his old home. However, Armand is very protective over his powers and doesn't really share them as he sees that as a weakness. But even when Anne Rice rped Lestat (lol), Lestat said he viewed Armand as dangerous because of this. He might be able to astral project? Armand is like "idk if I can, my powers are a mystery to me too guys" so idk. Mind Gift: Simply put, it's the ability to read others minds. It can be intercepted by stronger vampires, witches, and also maker/fledgling cannot read each other's minds. Cloud Gift: Basically, he can fly. Yeah, I know. He can travel to different countries in a single night.
