Vincent Blaire (or an informal introduction)

Manda Kay

Vincent Blaire, world-renowned masked magician and Illusionist from Hell, carries his eccentricities with him everywhere he goes, both on stage and off. No one has ever seen him without his trademark mask and gloves, not even the love of his life. He keeps a cool distance, and while he would give her the world if she’d ask for it, he is always careful to never lay a hand on her.

Vincent is a master of avoidance, whether it be direct answers to questions or accepting his own emotions. He drowns himself in a cocktail of bourbon and opium whenever he feels the world crashing down around him, content to lean back and notice the beauty in the way it crumbles. When he loves, he’s unapologetically loyal, putting them upon a pedestal where they can do no wrong and nothing can touch them.

Vincent is as pale as he is tall (very). Though he enjoys the thrill of having all eyes on him on stage, he enjoys his privacy more. His favorite place to be is home, preferably with his wife breathing the same air as him, but lately those terms seem to be happening less and less.

Vivian Blaire (or an informal introduction)

Manda Kay

Vivian Blaire, former prostitute with a fiery temper, has everything she’s ever wanted, but that doesn’t stop her from craving more. While she is married to the man of her dreams, the man she fell in love with behind a television screen, it’s not all she hoped it would be. When she can’t get him to meet her needs, she decides to sneak out to sleep with the very man who trafficked her.

Vivian’s mind is a mess at the best of times. She’s prone to full-on meltdowns where she will shatter everything in her path. Her favorite way to deal with past trauma is to rationalize it, jumping through hoops and leaps of logic with ease so long as she can bury it back down. She doesn’t see the trafficking she was subjected to as a bad thing necessarily–rather, it was her choice to get into the lifestyle. She was never looking to be saved.

Vivian is mixed race (Latina and white, if she had to guess), petite in height, midsize in stature. Her favorite place to be is a toss up between the kitchen (snacks are bae), the den (movies and trashy tv let her mind shut down), and her room (no boys allowed or something like that); though she will often find a reason to leave the manor for hours at a time to get her kicks.
