Go ahead and mold me, bought me and they sold me
I'm smiling upside down
Now I'm all used up, ready for my close up
Am I pretty underground?
I can be your Barbie, I can say sorry
I can do whatever you want
Go ahead and slap me if it makes you happy

Rook is tall and thin. Growing up, he was called lanky though, really, he is pretty sure there is no difference now than five years ago. While he may not be physically strong, he is pretty fast. When he was in school, he ran track.

Rook's eyes were green in certain light and usually hazel in other. He had brown hair, that was kept short. He had two tattoos; one is a bird on his right arm and an eye on his left arm. He and Zephriel also have matching tattoos that they got shortly after they were married.

Rook doesn't really care much about fashion. Growing up, it was always what was available or cheap; so he's a fan of things that are comfortable. Now that he is older, he sometimes leans into what Zephriel likes to wear because it's easier than trying to figure out what he prefers.

Rook has changed a lot in the last few years. Human Rook had a lot of authority issues, stemming a lot from his relationship from his father (Can we say daddy issues?). As such, he was mouthy, stubborn and a troublemaker. He spoke back to teachers in school. He didn't follow rules unless there was some sort of logic to it. He didn't mean to be a bad kid, it just - if something didn't make sense, why pay attention to it at all?

Meeting Zephriel, Rook began to feel a bit more secure in life but it wasn't until he was turned into a vampire, did he feel a lot more secure. He finally wasn't a kid who was butting up against authority, but possessed some authority himself. He supposed, as a human, he could become a boss or something, but that wasn't exactly the same. Someone would always be on top of you, looking to crush you. Now, well, it was pretty hard to crush a vampire. (While he is aware, this type of mentality probably has red flags all over it, fuck you.)

Rook the vampire still struggles with authority figures. He is still stubborn and can be mouthy but he is also more watchful. He tries to understand the picture before jumping into things. He tries to be more patient. He's just not always good at that.

Rook was born in the middle of a snowstorm 3 weeks before his due date. His parents went to see their family and left early to avoid the snow. They did not avoid the storm. His mother also went into labour and Rook Alexander Jennings was born.

Rook was an average student in school. His grades weren't great and he was bored a lot of the time. He tended to get a lot of detention. It was during one of these detentions that Rook met Hikaru. They became good friends. Hikaru was one of those people Rook wished for the best and hoped that he found it.

When Rook was sixteen, there was a car waiting in the driveway. He had come back from his track meet (fastest on the team) to find out that his father had sold him. Rook couldn't understand. How did one sell someone? Never mind, how could a father sell their son? Sure, his father seemed to act like Rook was in the way more times than not but he was still his father, was he not? Yet there were this men, dressed in black, stood there, waiting to take Rook away. Rook had no fight that stood up against his father or these men. He slid into the car, wordless to what would happen next. He felt a pinch in his arm and drifted into darkness.

The men had a plan for the teenager. It turns out there was a market for selling people. Rook was sent to an auction house where he was sold. Rook did want to be good, as his mother told him to be on so many occasions. Or, rather, he wanted to have a normal life, whatever that meant. The life he was promised when he was born; to go to school and post secondary and a job and a family and kids and all that jazz. He always knew, that it wasn't in the cards for him as long as he was where he was. So he ran. He snuck out and ran. He was caught and got his first beating. He cried after, even though crying made everything hurt worse. He was in mourning for the life he wasn't meant to have. The next morning, his body still bruised and sore, he knew that he was not going to take this lying down, even if it meant his death.

So he tried to run again. And again. He was a general pain in the ass until his owner sold him. Nor did the owner after that. Or the one after that. They liked the idea of someone they could mould but when they realised that Rook wasn't pliable, they sold him.

Rook had ended up in the United States. There was another auction, where he was bound and gagged and was being sold as someone fun to break. Rook was certain whomever purchased him would be his last and they would be the one to see his death. He was right.

Zephriel Badawi was the man who bought him. He brought him back to France. Rook did not want to be owned again. He did not know what was in store for him but he didn't care either. He had no plans to stay. He fought. He ran. He was a general shit but somehow Zephriel did not seem to give up on him. Zephriel helped Rook find a sense of peace in a mind that was constantly at war. Their relationship grew from one where Rook fought every step of the way, to friendship and then to love.

Zephriel and Rook got married and shortly thereafter, Zephriel turned Rook into a vampire. Shortly after that, they moved back to France, in particular, Marseille. Rook learnt how to be vampire from Zephriel and learnt how to work in his business. Rook continues to try to figure out who he is, a man of his own, without someone telling him who to be.
