Character Idea - Sire Sought

Alright, So I had an Idea for a character, that is out of the norm.
For this character to work, its going to take the ‘right’ Sire.
Name: Dame Vivian Astor (recently arrived to Canada from England)
Sex: Female
Age: 68
Face Claim: Helen Mirren
Yes 68 years old.
Vivian is a member high Society, family of wealth and power.
She will be the epitome of grace, culture and anything else that a lady is expected to have with her rank and social standing. (Think of Helen Mirren’s role in the movie RED) She will be loving and caring (in her own aloof and elitist way), but she can turn it off to be the killer that is needed.

What she doesn’t need:
- a hovering sire, that is overly concerned for her welfare.
a sire that dictates what she should think and do.
What she does need:
- a sire that wants to learn from her, whether its manners, how to fit into society etc
a sire that wants to use her connections
a sire that is interested in a collaborative relationship, more than a parent/childe relationship. An exchange of information and learning from both sides.
a sire that is willing to be social, and introduce her to all the right people
If you think your character would fit, lets talk.
If you have questions, ask.
Time frame for creation, I am going to have to delete one character, to stay at the ‘no more than four’ rule. (don’t have the 30 karma for extra slot) So it will take a me a few days to unload inventory on family members etc.
Thanks!

1) Does the sire have to fit all the aspects of the need, or just one and more if that's better?
2) When you say meet all the right people, define what you mean by that - do you want to meet rich people, people with connections with the 'mafia' of harper rock. Please expand.
3) What would you like to learn from the sire?
I could offer you Nishaa, considering she doesn't care about age - and things like that. She force sires, that's her only thing. She's cold, ruthless - well you know the rest.
But you already have an Andras. Anyhows.
I wish you the best of luck with the sire search!

Good questions, thank you!

The more better, but at least two.

By the right people, from the mindset of the character, she would want to meet the higher echelon of people in the Vampire community. She would expect there to be a hierarchy of people, and thus she would want to meet those that would be considered allies or influential in matters.
Now from an OOC aspect, I know that is not exactly how things work. But this character may decide that there needs to be this hierarchy and set about making one. ;;)
Nishaa wrote:3) What would you like to learn from the sire?
How to fit into vampire society without making a faux pas. The proper ins and outs of learning powers. She doesn't want to go through trial and error to learn things.

I actually had a forced siring in mind. Because in all honesty, if someone told her they were a vampire, she would write them off as a looney and never see them again. So yes, I had a forced siring in mind, as that would be the only way I could foresee for her turning to take place.

No I don't. Tomi is technically under Dulce, who is a Worthington

I really like this idea. I hope that I get the chance to meet her at some point

I'm not really sure any of my characters qualify for what you've mentioned, but I'm happy to offer up RP later on once she's made.
The only problem I see is that 'all the right people' is largely in the eye of the beholder, and the political side of Path is largely undeveloped which...makes that difficult.

You know I love this idea. Can't wait to see the rp that comes from it. Yes, Dulce's history and lineage cannot be erased by her disenthrallment from Liam but in Dulce's mind and heart she is Andras. There is no question who her sires are.

Yus, I'd offered you Eureka but she's definitely not in the higher echelon of anything, and would be of no consequence to your character in that way.
G'luck finding someone!

Agreed.. like I said, I know its going to be tough to find that right sire.. because how would she meet them.. they have to at least move in one of the same circles in the first place.. She would have to like them enough not to avoid them in the future..
So..
Someone mentioned Enver and because Doc hates him so much my initial reaction was 'oh hell no', .. but I (then shoved doc out of my head and let the human writer take over) have been thinking it about it.. Enver might work.. but that would be up to him

In the case of Enver, he is in the middle of dealing with the troubles that came from his recent siring of my character, Shya...all the drama over her being a female. The same might come from another female siring. Regardless of age.
Then again, I am not Enver's player. No harm in asking.
I, personally, can't offer any of my characters. Aliyah is hardly in the state to truly force turn, Calen is a human, and Shya is new vampire life.
I hope something turns up for you!

It's possible, the concept.
I'd have to talk to Natasha about it tho. Enver can only take a pissed off wife so much.
