What We Do in the Shadows

a three hundred and seventy-nine year old vampire. A team mom and a dandy obsessed with cleanliness and order. He is also the most humane of his group - he sincerely does not like killing people, but since he has to do it anyway, Viago tries to suck out his victims so that they remember their last moments of life as pleasant. Alas, after so many years, he still has not learned how to properly drink blood from an artery, and his feeding looks just terribly funny. He was in love with a mortal girl and even moved to the other end of the world with her when she went to New Zealand. But during the long journey, his beloved managed to marry someone else. Viago, in a fit of jealousy, initially wanted to cruelly kill his competitor, but he changed his mind when he saw how happy his love was with him. For many years, this vampire watched the life of his failed bride from afar, not finding the strength to get closer to her even after her husband died and she became a widow. Viago dresses like, from 1635 to the 1940s. Viago also slightly distorts words and tries to say less rude words. He has smoothly styled dark brown hair, and an unusual sideburn, he has cheerful and kind brown eyes. He also arranges an interview in which he makes new rules for vampires to follow.

He is 870 years old. Vladislav claims that he was turned into a vampire at the age of sixteen. He was a powerful warrior and earned the nickname "Vladislav Poker" for torturing his enemies by poking them.

Vladislav was once one of the most feared and powerful vampires in the world, but everything changed after he began a relationship with the vampire Polina, whom he calls "The Beast". During a battle with her, she impaled him on a lamppost and he was reduced to a shell of his former self, unable to fully transform into animals as he could no longer change his face. His hypnosis ability was also affected. At some point, he moved into an apartment in Te Aro, Wellington, with fellow vampires Viago, Deacon, and Peter.

Vladislav and his flatmates tried to drink the blood of a human named Nick, but Peter eventually attacked him and turned him into a vampire. Nick was accepted into the group of vampires, but Vladislav and the others took a particular liking to Nick's friend Stu, who introduced them to new technologies. Vladislav was especially interested in the possibility of "trolling" people on the Internet. Vladislav has thick black hair and eyebrows, his hair is long to his shoulders and slightly wavy at the bottom, he has brown stern eyes, he also has a black mustache, his beard and mustache type is zappa.

The youngest (before Nick) vampire (183 years old). As a human, Deacon worked as a merchant (somewhere in Eastern Europe, served in the Wehrmacht during WWII). While passing by a scary-looking castle in that era, Deacon was ambushed by the winged Petyr, who dragged him into the dungeon, bit him on the neck and forced him to drink his blood, turning him into a vampire. Despite this traumatic event, they immediately became "friends". A violent and hot-tempered bloodsucker who constantly argues with others and acts like a goat. Despite his image, he knows how and loves to knit. He immediately disliked Nick (although the two are very similar in character), but they became friends. Jackie works for Deacon, serving him in the hopes that he will turn her into a vampire. And when Nick was accepted into the vampire group, Deacon soon became jealous of Nick's new reputation as the youngest and most fashionable of the group, causing them to quarrel. Deacon, despite his arrogant nature, became especially attached to Nick's human friend Stu when he introduced the vampires to new technologies... Deacon also likes to show his friends erotic dances (in clothes!). Deacon usually dresses from the old centuries, sometimes in something fluffy when he leaves the mansion, but his favorite outfit is a white blouse from the old centuries, tight leather pants, boots without heels, and a black jacket with fluff on the shoulders. Deacon looks with disheveled brown hair, and he also has a stupid face, he has brown eyes.

The patriarch of the coven, the oldest vampire not only in this group of bloodsuckers, but, apparently, in the whole world (he is eight thousand years old!). He looks like a typical Orlok and has long gone crazy - Peter has lost even those crumbs of humanity that remained in vampires, and behaves like the most exemplary monster: he sleeps in a dark, damp crypt instead of a comfortable coffin with soft upholstery, does not speak, but hisses, plus he turns almost everyone in a row, turning random people he meets into bloodsuckers (this is how Deacon and Nick became vampires). The other vampires of Peter's group are afraid of him, but they respect and love him, despite his quirks. He never spoke or communicated with his neighbors in the apartment and did not do any work around the house. Viago looked after him and often fed him live chickens. Petyr is a hairless man, he has very sharp teeth similar to sharks and which come out of his mouth, he has sharp triangular ears, long fingers with sharp nails, he has light white-blue eyes.

Nick was a human, the ex-boyfriend of Deacon's friend Jackie. Mistaken for a virgin, Jackie brought Nick to Deacon's apartment to be eaten by the vampires. The vampires used hypnosis to play tricks on Nick, and he attempted to escape the house. After escaping from Deacon, Viago, and Vladislav, Nick ran outside, but was ambushed by Petyr, who dragged him into the basement and offered to drink his blood. Initially, he was delighted with his new unlife and used his powers in full view, which attracted the attention of a vampire hunter. He was expelled from the group for this, but after an incident with werewolves, he was accepted back. However, over time, Nick realized why vampires do not turn all humans left and right, and his delight subsided (the point is not only that this creates new competitors, but also in banal compassion, because the life of a bloodsucker is, albeit cool, a curse - in order to survive, a vampire needs to kill other people, and due to the limitations of the human psyche, it is very difficult for him to adapt to the world that inevitably changes over centuries of non-life. Moreover, over time, even the most balanced vampires' minds simply cannot withstand the burden of the years they have lived and they degrade to the level of animals (like Peter). Nick introduced his human friend Stu to his flatmates and hypnotized him so that he would not realize that they were all vampires, but in the end he decided to tell Stu the truth. Stu took this news surprisingly well. Nick also asked the vampires not to eat or turn Stu. He looks like he is from 2016, dresses like he is from 2016, has brown eyes eyes, and styled brown hair.

Nick's best friend. A vegetarian, he is shy and a man of few words. When Stu was a human, he worked as a systems analyst and befriended another human, Nick, after he started dating his sister. Nick was turned into a vampire by Peter and moved into his apartment along with Viago, Vladislav, and Deacon. Nick introduced Stu to vampires and initially used hypnosis on him to prevent him from realizing they were vampires. Nick also protected Stu by asking his roommates not to eat him or turn him into a vampire since Stu was a vegetarian. Nick eventually decided to tell Stu that he and his roommates were vampires, which Stu took surprisingly well.

Stu helped the vampires get acquainted with modern technology. He taught them how to use computers to make online calls, watch sunrise videos, "troll" people, buy furniture, and look at pictures of virgins, as well as how to use phones to take selfies and send text messages. The vampires grew very fond of Stu, but were unhappy with Nick, who put the group at risk by constantly revealing his vampire status to humans. But when the werewolf incident occurred and he was bitten, he hid in the woods and was helped by the werewolves who bit him, and he became a werewolf, causing the vampires to become friends with the werewolves. Stu also has a black belt in taekwondo. Stu has brown and slightly messy hair, and he has brown eyes.

Jackie served Deacon as his human familiar for four and a half years. Her primary responsibility was to maintain his apartment, which included cleaning up after his victims and taking the vampires' clothes to the laundry. One night, Deacon asked her to bring some human victims to his apartment. Not wanting to bring people she was attached to, she brought her ex-boyfriend Nick (because she believed he was still a virgin) and Josephine, a woman who had abused her before. When Jackie was released early, Josephine was eaten by Viago and Nick was turned into a vampire by Petyr.

Deacon used Nick's conversion as an excuse not to turn Jackie. She was becoming increasingly frustrated with having to do so much housework and Deacon's reluctance to turn her into a vampire. In turn, after his expulsion from the group, Nick turns Jackie into a vampire in memory of their past relationship, which slightly angers Deacon - according to vampire concepts, turning someone else's vampire servant is considered a rather grave insult. Jackie, having received what she wanted, becomes a mistress to her husband, who now works for her in the hopes that she will someday turn him too. Jackie has long brown hair down to her collarbones, and she also has brown eyes.

about the daily life of a small coven of vampires who settled in Wellington - As it turns out, the life of a bloodsucker is not as cloudless and cheerful as it may seem - for example, due to the fact that vampires do not have a reflection in the mirror, they have to rely on the assessment of their comrade when choosing a wardrobe (that's why they often dress like freaks), blood from a bitten carotid artery, suddenly, is very difficult to drink, and due to their predominantly nocturnal lifestyle, ghouls are very far behind life and often do not understand the most basic things (the Internet and other such things).

Inside, the furniture is all from bygone centuries, as is the design. Each vampire has his own room, only Petyr lives in the basement. Only Viago, Petyr, Deacon and Vladislav live in this mansion, but they rarely have guests (Nick, Stu, and Jackie - she is usually found in the bar and Deacon points out what he needs.)
