 patroclus b. rosental those seconds, half seconds, that the line of our gaze connected, were the only moments in my day where i felt anything at all general info
personality
the sound of the complete silence only present in the middle of the night, the feeling of peace that you get from staring at the stars, cold coins pressed into the palm of your hand, letters blending together in script, smoke curling up and into the air before disappearing, words fading on a worn & bent spine, tattered bandages pulled tight family information
biography othello rosental was never a kind man. as a human he was cynical, driven, and blunt- as a vampire, every worst quality seemed to explode in tenfold. though successful and relatively powerful, orthello was harsh, critical, and unfeeling to most anyone who crossed his path over the years. but worst of all, othello was manipulative; and he knew how to hide these horrible traits under a guise of charm and grace. althea was one such woman who fell under the spell of his charm. they met when she was relatively young, freshly graduated from hogwarts and ready to be married off to another pureblood family. whether it was the allure of a forbidden romance or othello himself, she quickly found herself wrapped up in a love affair that whisked her away from her arrangement and into one with him. with his halfbreed status hidden from the public eye, it seemed like she had simply traded one pureblood arrangement for another. once the ring slipped onto her finger, othello's behavior quickly began to revert back to who he was at his core. their first attempt at a child, selene, didn't survive the dangerous pregnancy to term. patroclus's arrival as the heir somehow left both of them alive, and yet, althea passed him off to the nurse nearly as soon as he was born. with his mother rarely present as more than another occupied chair, patroclus grew up attempting to win the affections of his father. no matter how hard he tried, patroclus was never enough. the other boys his age could run further, speak clearer, fight better; no matter how hard he tried, patroclus always came up short. without his mother to defend him, his father's wrath often fell to him. one day, they reaching a breaking point; patroclus had gotten into a fight with some other pureblood boys and had lost handily. convinced he had slandered the rosental name enough, he was shipped off to the drakos manor to live under alina and with her son, achilles. for the first year or two, patroclus simply stayed in the shadows and did what he was told around the manor. achilles, despite being his age, didn't show an interest in talking to him and patroclus didn't quite like the idea of sparking conversation either. they simply coexisted, occasionally exchanging a handful of words before achilles, one day, asked him to play. following that the bond was immediate and quick, and the two were joined at the hip ever since. in their last year at hogwarts, the two boys were drafted into world war two for the british and dropped out of hogwarts in the process. though patroclus was hardly a fighter, achilles's skill and their continued evasion of near death scenarios got them noticed by the general at the time. on the field, patroclus instead quickly picked up a knack for healing; it was where he learned, in real time, how to save a life. despite this, they were continuously thrown into combat and awarded higher ranks for their skill. patroclus abhorred the fighting, but he stayed by achilles's side through it all. with their halfbreed skill outed to the british government, a deal was struck; the two continued to be shipped from war to war, conflict to conflict with achilles as a war hero and patroclus acting as his advisor. they kept up this routine until the iraq war, where patroclus was almost killed in an explosion as he exited a building. patroclus was more than relieved when achilles decided that war was the final straw, and they haven't returned to direct combat since. now, patroclus continues to serve as counsel to achilles while working at st. mungo's. here, he puts into practice the skills he learned to protect achilles- only now, he finds great peace in knowing that he can protect others as well.

★ ★ ★ quirks  patroclus's favorite snack is goldfish, a snack he grew fond of in the 1970s in between tours. it's not unlikely to find him munching on them in between activities, though he won't eat anything but the originals. an anxious smoker, in time periods of high tension or emotional peril patroclus can often be found with a cigarette in hand. it's a habit he picked up when he was first drafted. he wears his dog tags around his neck on a long chain that he can easily hide below his shirt. when asked, he says they belong to his grandfather. ★ ★ ★ ★ ALIAS angelica ★ YEARS OF EXPERIENCE i have been roleplaying for about six years, going around various platforms such as goodreads and the such. i moved to instagram coming up on Three years ago and have stayed in the community ever since THIS CHARACTER BELONGS TO angelica.
