Ancient would-be King, island chief, founder of a bloodline... The first Vampire.
Pinned
"We who live in the darkness, our songs and thirst are both for life. Painted as undead, yet we treasure life the most."

Another OC by BadJokesLucia
Dark topics guaranteed.
Tied to lore in a friend's Pokemon verse storyline, though a great deal of wandering leads to multiverse compatibility.
"...Wait, what do you mean modern people need to be reminded not to take medicine they're allergic to?"

"...I wonder which of my descendants was the most successful. It was easy to follow rumors of vampirism for a while, but now at least half of all vampires are just random schmucks who were infected instead of being born into it. And many of my descendants never exhibited any signs of vampirism."-

"Nahhh, the culture is shifting back to the old ways as far as relationships go. It's the legal system that's countering harems. People got on a kick of monogamy for a while, but now they're going back to getting in bed with anything that breathes and getting in countless relationships at once."
["...Culture tends to shift in various ways, especially with how the previous culture tends to be.

I guess in some ways, it's shifting as a counter to what we saw before. It's something I have noticed. Maybe you have too."]
"Why would I be mad about that? Even if the law now says I could only have one legal spouse, it looks like modern people don't really have any respect for commitment and exclusivity anymore anyway. They're kind of going back to the old ways, even if the laws don't reflect it."
January 7, 2026 at 9:36 PM
"Come on, look at me. It shouldn't be surprising that I had so many lovers. I only became more popular after I started looking like this~"

["...I am more surprised you haven't gotten angry at how society changed from your concubines and various marriages here."]

Even Darkrai knew that was inevitably going to be brought up from Veruschka, huh..
"Come on, don't act so surprised. Eight out of my nine wives over the years had been totally stacked. Even a couple of the husbands had impressive pecs. And that's not even mentioning the concubines."

Ah, yes, more ancient traditions... This girl is kind of shameless...

["....If Freya wakes up, I feel like we may need to plug our ears."]

Who knows what may happen, if she would. But given circumstances, he expects a loud scream.

["...Yeah. You have some type, that's for sure."]
"Not every girl. Just the soft ones."

...Veruschka has a type.

"Freya's brain was tweaked after she went through the... Uh... What were we calling it? The gate. Not sure if magic was directly involved or if she received too much exposure to something that sexy professor did."

...Sexy? Really?

["...Speaking of Freya, seems her and Amelia may be on Darklight island-

Wait.... Freya may be in a coma for that long. Also... you flirt with every girl here-"
January 5, 2026 at 4:36 AM
"People thinking you and Cresselia were enemies was largely a matter of misunderstandings tracing back to ages when correcting widespread incorrect information was not so easy. It evolved into a false legend which has never been corrected. ...That's different from Elena's babies."

...Veruschka-
something...."]

Darkrai would hold a tiny pebble to Verushka. It was clear it wasn't an ordinary pebble.

["...If she'd be worthy of this and can grow. I don't get that guardian one bit. But it seems to want to test her first."]
January 5, 2026 at 4:32 AM
"...Why is Freya's definitely-not-girlfriend-but-obviously-not-just-friends kind of hot, though?"

Veruschka, down.
January 5, 2026 at 4:19 AM
"I was quite handsome long long ago. Now I am adorable. I do not blame anybody for falling for me~"

Smug little shit... No, actually, this playfulness is nicer to see than the tired old leader side of her...
January 3, 2026 at 3:20 AM
"...It's also sickening to waste somebody's life to force enemies to reunite. Sometimes things need to be left alone. Working with the people who still treasure each other is more important than making up with enemies. ...Mending a bridge is nice in theory. But you and I are more than old enough to-
Yet I didn't want her to know I existed at the time.

But alas, the past is the past..."]
January 3, 2026 at 3:15 AM
"...Enemies working together against a worse enemy is something I have only seen happen in stories. Not once have I seen it happen for real. Two nations go to war, and a third joins to capitalize on the chaos... But they are still hostile even to the one they are not directly targeting. I don't-
hated his brother that much.

Though in all honesty I think there was something wrong with that man. I know a few islanders thought that was disgusting. And hopefully Elenas kids aren't at that level yet... Maybe."]
January 2, 2026 at 11:31 PM
"Beh."

...Veruschka's face looks almost like a kid spitting out a vegetable somebody tried to feed her... Disgusted and mildly annoyed...

"There is no need for middleman to interject with their own biases. The people with problems talk to each other and air grievances. If they can work it out-
this story does help Celia open her eyes. If not, then at the very lest show her a more vulnerable side to her too. If only to show there is some amount of humanity left.

I am not hoping for much, though. I just hope that the battle against that fortress technology god ends sooner or later."]
January 2, 2026 at 4:41 AM
"Did Reina ever compromise with them either? She was a sweet talker sometimes, but her actions always seemed to be in pursuit of her own side interests despite everything surrounding her. Even when it went against what she told people. None of Elena's babies compromise. Some just pretend to."

She-
their position, it wouldn't have gotten to this level.

...Or maybe it would have if Celias friend died anyways even if things ended. Who knows...

What-ifs are always odd to talk about."]
January 2, 2026 at 3:28 AM
"Reina being targeted is not the problem. Her response to being targeted, though, that frustrates the others. She is not very cooperative unless somebody is doing things her way. Though whole family is terrible at compromise. Probably inherited from even my ancestors."

A shrug.

"Little Al holds-
was extreme, admittedly. Wanting to lock her away until it blows over.

But it makes sense why. You have difficulty getting your goal if the target is hidden somewhere.

...I don't know what the outcome with Gawacheol will be like. But it is clear it didn't want Aleister to capture it."]
January 2, 2026 at 2:24 AM
"...Celia spent whole life on limited time. Borrowed time. She is not even alive anymore. So it is not surprising that instant results comfort her. She wants to leave as few things to chance as possible, yes? And that desire to not leave chances has gone to the extreme. ...The other siblings just-
["...Part of me still feels like there's a chance for some of the other siblings to reconnect before Celia gets to them. But it is a small chance.

...Though it seems another Kingchester appeared here."]

Seems Darkrai can sense Acea around too.
January 2, 2026 at 1:39 AM
"...Mentally, Celia would have been a perfect fit for my homeland at the time of my upbringing. Physically, she would not have seen her first birthday with our limited medical knowledge."

Even that is probably an extremely generous estimate.

"Power is not problem. She does what she thinks is-
her the consequences of too much power. Though I can't fault her for going to such extremes... It would have been preferable if she never did.."]

Listen. If Veruschka's speech ever looks weird or sloppy... That's just me trying to give her a Slavic accent that she never got rid of. And I don't know how to write accents.

Plus, she's ancient. She's probably on her twelfth language by now.
January 2, 2026 at 12:06 AM
"...I understand that you are still grieving. I am as well. ...I am still grieving a loss from before you and I met. A loss that we both know led to me quite literally reshaping myself decades later."

Ah, yes, vague hints at backstory...

"...Your grief and promises do not obligate you to find a-
professor seemed to enjoy doing that to people."]

It seems Darkrai is aware of Bunyans antics.

["...I'm just throwing out ideas. I don't expect any of these to work out well. But they are ideas at the end of the day. Some good, some bad."]
January 2, 2026 at 12:03 AM
A blink, and a head tilt. Why does she look like she just got new informa-

"The god eater is little Celia? Ah, I remember smooshing my face against the glass to watch for any signs of change in her condition when she was born. To think that the poor little thing who nearly didn't make it through-
for someone.

But the question remains... what is the chance of that happening now... given circumstances. I feel like Ms. Celia will either slaughter the family or will be the rude awakening the family needs.

At least that's how I see it.."]

"Eh, world changes even if ways of my people somehow follow my bloodline. It is no longer acceptable, let alone encouraged to duel siblings to death for positions of power. They swim in toxic stew because world now mandates that they shed no blood. They have no outlet for negative feelings, no path-
die than even work together. That's... a lot of toxicity I never seen even from your others.

I only respected that man for Elenas sake... And when she died? It went out of the window. She'd be ashamed to see what's going on now."]
December 31, 2025 at 4:06 AM
"Byeh. Never liked that man. Cold eyes even when happy with Elena. Not enough life in them. Always knew he had a darkness in him- And not the good kind!"

...Why does she seem like more of a disapproving in-law than worried about the genuine threat?

"But Elena's babies? Loud, but not doing-
[".... All because of some poachers who tried to attack us. The foreigner from Kanto marrying precious Elena snapping.

...So much sibling squabbles. And one of them has been trying to ursurp all gods. And the foreigner aristocrat? Wanting to turn another into what is essentially a machine."]
"...I know that too much history has passed since our last meeting to catch up neatly."

Not the first time, probably not the last. Both the shadow thing and history.

"And my descendants are having conflicts on par with the sibling wars of my homeland from before the island."

["...Don't call me that circus name. You know that is embarrassing."]

Darkrai seems to have a habit of appearing out of peoples shadows. First Reinas, not Veruschka.

["...I wonder how much of everything you know, though."]
December 31, 2025 at 3:23 AM
...Sniff!

"Woh- Is this where Spooky got off to?"

...SPOOKY?!

"Oh, right, not supposed to call him that... Wait, no, that was only around the other Islanders. Should be fine!~"
