getting lost in a momentary dream,
THE SECOND TIME IS A HELLISH DARKNESS!

[/justify]NAME,his full name is rook aster nightingale. he was named after the black bird commonly found in great britain, his homeland - and after his father's favourite chess piece, the rook or the castling. some speculate he was named so for his 'hurtling' personality since birth, much like the real chess piece. his middle name 'aster' is named after his mother's favourite flowering genus species of flora, which resembles the shape of stars and hence are named so in greek ('astra' to 'aster'). last but not least, his surname 'nightingale' is a direct reference to the species of small birds that often sings nocturnes in the night, hence their name.
AGE,despite his frail frame, he is in fact twenty years old, and old enough to inherit his parent's wealth and succeed the family headship. however, due to a chain of unfortunate events, he was condemned to be 'hospitalized' and 'rehabilitated' at the alabaster house. rook is often mistaken to be around seventeen or eighteen years of age due to the air of immaturity he often displays around people.
GENDER,quite frankly it is clear to see that he is most definitely a male. the alabaster house's records can prove to you that he is - unless you want a personal body examination, in which he would happily oblige to.
SEXUALITY,rook isn't one to complain much about his sexual tastes, much less anything else. you see, he's quite mellow with what he's given, which comes off as surprising since the young nightingale heir has been exposed to a rather luxurious and spoilt lifestyle until now. so, to prevent from stalling you with useless information any further, one can assume he's a pansexual, at the very best.
GANG,rook's mild temperament has landed him a secure position as a gang member of the HOLiCs group, lead by arlynn alabaster. however, his mild temper doesn't prove to be much of a leash to his wild side filled with mental instabilities and the physical insecurities he carries. sadistic and vague, rook likes to have just a plan a, not a plan b - and most of his plans are crazy enough to work, which may suggest some sort of inner brilliance he has yet to show more of.
REASON WHY,there was a definitive term to describe the madness that exists in the crevices of rook's mind, then this world and its history of medical diagnosis has taken a much deeper plunge into the darker unknown. in short, rook is sick. terminally ill in many ways, as most other alabaster occupants are. in rook's case, he has a sick and morbid fascination of fingers; to be specific, decapitated fingers. he enjoys cutting small limbs, such as toes, nose, ears, and especially fingers off unlucky victims of his torture and abuse. this finger-philia of his has developed quickly into many different contexts over the years, some which included him cutting fingers off dead corpses in the morgue or punishing his servants by severing their pinkies, only to hold on to the fingers as some sort of sickening keepsake of his 'kills'. after severing god knows how many fingers, his father decided it was time to send his deranged son to a hospital.
even then, his sick fascination with fingers continued. and rook's psychotic side began to branch out from not just fingers; he found out he liked to cut. finding great pleasure in cooking class (which was rumored to help patients relax and heal), it had a rather adverse effect which helped fuel his desire to cut things up - especially meat. he liked how the flesh in animals were smoothly divided by thin layers of fat, and how these layers curved beautifully around each lobe of meat like perfection. it was also at this stage he became quite adept with both of his hands, developing a superb ambidexterity which allowed him to fiddle with small knives with the crooks of his fingers.
it's not really known how, or when, at this stage when rook developed a myriad of other strange mental illnesses, some which included dacryphilia (sexual attraction to tears or crying), somniphilia (attraction of people in a state of sleep), and other strange fetishes over the most random of things. With a wide range of differing mental illnesses diagnosed upon one, single individual, the doctors deemed it was best to send rook to the alabaster house where, hopefully he could regain some sense of sanity, which discreetly they knew was nearly impossible.

FAMILY,the nightingale family is quite large, with the extended branch families and whatnot, but his immediate relatives includes remus vance nightingale who is his father, and katherine valerie nightingale who was his mother, now deceased. his father's current wife and his step-mother is diana tiffany-nightingale, whom he simply calls 'diana'; and a young mistress of his father's who frequently spoils rook named tabitha delores, and is attempting to pursue rook romantically and sexually. he has a younger brother named regulus altair nightingale who is currently aspiring to take over the role as family head, and is also entangled with a sexual affair with tabitha.
and then, there is his uncle tyrone vernon nightingale who is the younger brother of his father, as well as his wife sakiko ueno-nightingale has a daughter who is his cousin, named raelyn himeji nightingale. although he has many more aunts, uncles and cousins, raelyn is in terms, the closest to his family, and the next potential successor of the nightingale family.
HISTORY,---+ BIRTH & EARLY CHILDHOOD
born in june 18th, 1990, the first son of the nightingale family arrived safe and sound without any complications into the early summer of our world. he would soon later grow up and develop to be an idealistic son, often a bit too curious for his sake, but nonetheless, obedient. however, things turned frightful when rook discovered the thrill of stabbing crayons into his playmates' eyes. secretly, he would play with a pair of scissors behind his mother's and the servants' backs. a large amount of stuffed toys and animals were thrown out as a result of his "snippy little fingers". preschool and kindergarten became a living hell to his classmates - literally. in two short years, he was then known as "rook the devilchild".
---+ GROWING UP
because of his rather heinous (yet painfully innocent) actions, rook was sent to study at an all-boys school - abingdon boys' school, located in abingdon, oxfordshire. the school's famous reputation for their academic and athletic achievements was something his parents hoped to drill into their son's mind - and body - and hopefully overcome the nightmares they had suffered in their son's past. it was also during this time period where katherine fell gravely ill, and passed away shortly after during his fourteenth summer. depressed, rook took to it that he would make up for his mother's death by being the overachieving prick that everyone would soon come to hate later.
it wasn't too long before everyone realized just how much of a monster rook was. failing miserably to become the top of the school, rook instead abandoned his studies to become a terrorizing delinquent who would take pleasure in tormenting other students that rubbed him off the wrong way. pulled out of abingdon's to prevent tarnishing the school's reputation, rook spent the last few years of his high-school life at a public school back in london. by then his father had remarried, and the introduction of diana in his life left a bitter taste in his mouth. it was also then he met tabitha, who was only five years senior his age, became engaged in a sexual relationship with his father. after showing her desire and intention of being with rook, she began to target after him passionately with a lustful obsession, resulting in taking his brother's virginity in an attempt to pleasure herself due to their similar looks. rook, who was merely vaguely interested, left her be with his brother and sought after the maids in his house to satisfy his sex drive instead. after being involved with gang activity on the streets and ending up impregnating one of the servants, his father decided it was time to throw his disobedient and lewd son into a hospital aslyum.
---+ THE LONG-TERM HOSPITAL VISIT
after being admitted to the west london mental health nhs trust section of the st. benard's hospital back in london, rook was taken through various experiences that would only serve to fuel his mental disillusions rather than to heal them. being a natural charmer, he was able to have things go smoothly for him, from fucking the nurse the next office over to having access to the kitchen and its tools during the night. there isn't much to say here in this section, other than being sexually involved with various other staff and patients and cutting more fingers off, the doctors decided to toss him over to the alabaster house, never wanting him to return ever again.
---+ THE PRESENT
so lo and behold, rook has landed himself in a new playground. while nothing will really be filling this section, it is assured that in the future much more gruesome memories and events will be filling this spot like a gluttonous stuffed turkey on christmas eve.
EXTRA INFO,his cousin raelyn himeji nightingale is rumoured to have been suffering from quite a few mental illnesses herself, primarily her sadistic/masochistic bi-polar personality. she is also up for grabs, meaning that her character is encouraged to be played out by another member.
