There are currently many availabilities and desired characters associated with
Ad Gustum, including several adoptable characters.
Adoptable CharactersGalen Ells is a character with a rich history, and pre-built plots! An accident unlocked his psychic abilities, and he left his law practice and became one of the, ahem, male escorts at Ad Gustum - mainly, trying to find a way to control his newfound ability. His little sister,
Lucy Ells, has recently come to town. Much to his dismay, his nemesis
Graham Donovan is around, too - and a newly turned vampire. Galen has several scenes from his original player, all of which can be read
here. If interested in adopting Galen, please contact Lucy's player, Louise, at: prefersthirteen [at] gmail [dot] com.
Alistair Kane is a vampire, and a former client at Ad Gustum. A deeply troubled man, Alistair struggles with his own urges, and a dangerously strict house. His urges eventually lead him to Ad Gustum, where he became a regular of the house dominatrix,
Tanith Beckett. Unfortunately, Alistair grew to be dangerously obsessed with the hired dominant, and in attempts to gain her attention (and punishment), he freed many of the slaves from Ad Gustum's dungeons. Alistair has been locked in the dungeons ever since - a gift to the young
Angeline Moriarty, who has apprenticed herself to Tanith. Unfortunately for Angeline and Tanith both, vampires of Alistair's line have the gift of dream-walking, and he is not above making the women suffer for what they're doing to him. Alistair has only appeared in two scenes thus far (one as an NPC), which can be read
here and
here. Because Alistair hasn't been played much, most of his history is up to change to suit a new player. If interested in adopting Alistair, please contact Tanith's player, LS, at: verbalasphyxiation [at] gmail [dot] com.
Katsuo, vampire benefactor of
Kumiko. Back when she was a geisha, she went through benefactors like candy and eventually came across Katsuo and he ended up being her lifelong benefactor, mostly due to the fact that she can't kill him. He has always given her material objects and plenty of attention and she has always been the seductive muse. They were separated during WWII and haven't been in contact since, leaving Kumiko to think he's dead. The two of them have a VERY strong love/hate relationship. One second Kumiko is wanting to kill him dead and the next she's batting her eyelashes and sexually toying with him. Katsuo himself has always been jealous of people making eyes with her and considers Kumiko to be his and only his, may it be for entertainment or even as a blood doll. His history and personality are wide open, just as long as he's from Japan and can easily fit into Kumiko's history. Imagined that he is/was linked to the military or nobility somehow. Completely open to vampire house, as well. Not picky with PB, just as long as they're an asian male. Kumiko does prefer older men, so if you can find someone who is 35+, that would be ideal. If interested in adopting Katsuo, please contact Kumiko's player, Sarah, at: hautegeisha [at] gmail [dot] com.
General Wants for Ad Gustum
- Customers! Self explanatory. ;) A business can't thrive without its loyal patrons. Customers are, of course, vampires - though the madams are not adverse to catering to other races, if the price is right. If you have to ask, you probably can't afford it.
- Slave managers. Ad Gustum doesn't just deal in willing whores. For the customers with particularly dark desires, the dungeons are full of unwilling slaves. A slave manager would be expected to keep the slaves in line and properly cared for.
- Prostitutes. Prostitutes live at the house, have their own rooms, and generally live in ultimate luxury. Prostitutes may be of either gender, but we need more males! We'd also love some more variety in races. Please note that Ad Gustum will not take on another siren, but all other races are open.
- House Staff. It takes more than just the escorts to keep Ad Gustum running. There are many positions within the house available. Maids, cooks, drivers... perhaps even a personal doctor or nurse to keep the talent in tip-top shape!
If none of these roles stick out to you, there is plenty more available and wanted at
light_of_may! A list of wanted characters can be found
here. :)
