babeyouresocool: My first ever original characters! Heather and Rocket (or Ronald, but don’t tell anyone I told you his real name).Rocket was turned into a vampire in 1973 at age 23, at some party (he doesn’t really remember what happened, he just sort of woke up undead). In the very same week of his transformation, he was decapitated in a car accident, but he survived thanks to his newly acquired immortality. As of 2017, he’s 66 years old (about to turn 67, but don’t remind him) and is still stuck in the 70s. He rocks the high waisted trousers, and patterned shirts, and hates all the modern hipsters along with all the people that mistake him for one. One of his eyebrows is shaved because just before he “died” he was interested in the punk scene crossing over from England (where he was born) to America (where he grew up), although right after doing so, he deeply regretted it, and ended up “dying” with it, so now he’s stuck with a chunk of his eyebrow missing for the rest of his undead life. He only listens to vinyl, most of his collection is from the years of his human life, but his secret guilty pleasure is 00s indie rock music (especially Avril Lavigne). His eyes are extremely sensitive to sunlight, naturally, so he always carries around a pair of vintage sunglasses, and always keeps an umbrella just in case he wants to go outside. Contrary to popular belief, the sun does not kill vampires (or sparkle), it’s just extremely uncomfortable. He often worries about living forever, and would like to find a way to die eventually, not yet though because vinyl is making a comeback.Heather is one of Rocket’s best friends. They met when she was 17 (or 3 years ago) at a gas station, where she didn’t have enough money to buy gum so Rocket gave her a dollar to quit holding up the line. The line being only him. She got annoyed at him for throwing money at her face, and called him a “filthy hipster”. This encounter blossomed into a beautiful friendship. Her friends like to swoon over how “hot” Rocket is, but Heather just sees him as an old man. She teases him for being so stuck in the 70s and refusing to get with the times. Sometimes Heather wears sunglasses with Rocket when they go outside, even if it’s not sunny, just so he doesn’t feel like a weirdo. One day she hopes to help him find a cure for his immortality, at least before she kicks the bucket herself, but they still have a good 60 years to go. -- source link
