Appearance

Felix looks to be about 18 or 19 years old, with a slender, boyish physique. He is 5’8” tall with a body weight of around 68kg. His hair is styled in a fauxhawk and can vary between a dark brown and a light brown with blond streaks, depending on if he makes the effort to style it. Felix has dark brown eyes and somewhat pale skin, caused from remaining indoors for much of his life. Felix also speaks with a slight upper-class British accent; a trait passed down to him by his father.

Felix dresses in smart casual attire for his receptionist job, however his preferred outfit is usually rather simple, a jacket over a graphic t-shirt with either slacks or jeans. He possesses a Gold Watch, given to him by his Father on his 12th Birthday and makes a habit of wearing it constantly.

Personality

Personality wise, Felix comes off as a rather intelligent, handsome young man, though he looks rather slim for his age, his father still possessing boyish features. Though he finds it difficult to stay motivated, when he dedicates himself to a task, he excels at it. Though he suffers from mild depression, Felix struggles through it and wishes to both better himself and get somewhere in life. Though his bad habits have a nasty tendency to hold him back.

2017 Update: Felix's struggles with depression have worsened. He is no longer Slothful, but Envious of most other Kindred. The ones who have received recognition by their peers. The ones who are praised, not shunned. He feels a sense of belonging with his lover, Archived-Alec Stryder; but it does little to improve his overall state.

Mortal World

Felix Edmiston was born in Liverpool, UK on September 26th, 1972 to Catherine and David Edmiston. During his childhood, Felix proved himself to be an intelligent but somewhat lazy boy. Much of his time spend after school was dedicated to lounging around in his bedroom reading the latest Marvel Comics or watching early television. Growing up, Felix was primarily interested in starting his own business someday and becoming successful like his father, following in his footsteps.

In 1983, the strain of the relationship between Catherine and David reached its breaking point, resulting in Catherine demanding a divorce. This put immense stress on Felix, who found himself at a crossroads, ultimately siding with his mother. A decision he would regret for the rest of his life. The following year, Catherine took Felix and moved to Queensland, Australia. Catherine was originally from Brisbane and so took Felix to go and live with her mother.

During his teenage years, Felix found his interest in business rekindled and began focusing his high school study so that he might study a Bachelor’s Degree of Business Management at Griffith University. Obviously, his mother didn’t take too kindly to this, often chastising Felix for his decisions and openly criticizing him at family gatherings. This led to Felix developing a mild case of depression. During this time, Felix often found respite in videogames, the videogame of the 80’s having taken off to great success and found himself down at local arcades at all hours of the day, often skipping school to take comfort in them.

Felix ended up being successful in his application to Griffith University and was looking forward to his study years, however that was cut short one night when he found himself in the company of Evelyn Grace, and subsequently Embraced by her.

It was the evening of May 9th 1990, at around 9pm when Felix met Evelyn for the first time. Having left his home after a particularly bad argument with his mother, as he sadly regularly would. Being a smart guy, Felix knew more than turn to the bottle. He instead preferred to go on long evening walks, listening to the atmosphere of the city with the cool night’s breeze comforting him as he thought. Shortly after he began his stroll through Masie Dixon Park, he was approached by a shorter woman who looked to be in her early twenties. She called out to him, and he found himself strangely drawn to her. She introduced herself as Evelyn Grace and invited him to sit and have a chat with her, as he seemed troubled.

Cautious at first, Felix was soon reassured by Evelyn’s motherly vibe and eventually bared his soul to her. Telling her about his family life and how he wished things could be better, the troubles and struggles he’d been dealing with. Evelyn comforted him and they spoke for some time. Felix eventually confessed to her that he had thought about running away from his mother, to lead his own life, and Evelyn offered him a chance to start again with a new family. All too happy to accept the offer from her, Felix found himself stunned and in ecstasy, as Evelyn bit his neck. Blacking out from blood loss, Felix soon wake up later, being held in her arms. Unaware as to what just happened, he was offered an explanation from Evelyn, but only if came to stay with her. He accepted, and so his Requiem began.

Quotes

Quotes By

"You don't get it. The legacy she talks about? It's a joke. A cruel joke twisted into something that only an idiot would believe. The only legacy of House Bathory is several piles of ash and burnt down buildings. The only reason why I'm alive, why my brother is alive, is because we rejected that accursed name. She's tried to get me to take it. Over and other again, but I won't. I slipped the other night. I was drunk on her promises of power that I didn't see what a fucking disaster it was. She had the Crone against her, the Carthians...my own Childe! Her own flesh and blood recognised that she was a problem... And I didn't. I thought everything was fine. I can tell you with absolute certainty that it is not fine."

- Archived-Felix Edmiston, speaking on the topic of the 'Bathory Legacy' with Archived-Alec Stryder.
