This is Simon Ainsworth of London, England. I've applied and hope to be accepted with tonight's adds. We'll see! He's a vampire but unaffiliated with the clan that currently resides in Asheville; however, his sire holds the position of chairwoman, which would be Zoila Machado (
zoil). I'm not sure where Simon's stance will be with that whole thing considering he's very new to town.
He's 123 years old, was born in 1889 and died in 1912. His grandparents are the ones who raised him due to his mother's death during his birth and an absent father. Throughout his childhood he was polished and prepared to take over his grandfather's steel company, which was started from the ground up during the entire boom of the industry. Simon ran the company for awhile but sold it after WWII once he had enough knowledge of his new way of living.
He worked as a funeral planner between the 50s and 70s. He met Gray Pond (
graypond) in St. Petersburg, FL serving as the planner for his mother's funeral. Simon became a sort of guardian type for the guy as he grew. That all ended when hunters pursued Simon basically across the world where they fought in western Germany. Simon walked away from three dead and very dismembered hunters' bodies, nearly dead (
dead dead) himself.
After healing and finding Gray gone in Florida, Simon spent the 80s studying at University College London under the alias, Walter Menlow, then traveled the world half leisurely, half searching for his sire who had long since gone missing. He gave up looking and returned to London and that's where he was when he got word of his sire possibly being in Asheville.
So basically he's brand new to the town and I'm looking to have him start up the funeral planning thing again. He's going to be looking into apartments or very small homes to rent. Any and all lines are welcome if you're willing!
Oh and before I go, his abilities are invisibility and shadow manipulation. More info can be found in his way too lengthy bio linked in the journal!
