Give me back my heart, you wingless thing.

Biography Born to Ilona and Dietfried Vogel as their eldest, and first child, that Halloween Aubrey became their blessing. From a young age he was always a special child, enjoying the sunrise instead of the sunset. He was constantly injured as a small child due to his proclivity to try and bask in the sunlight, leading to plenty of burns and harsh lessons on going out unprotected.Despite the busy nature of his parents, he always loved them dearly, often trying his best to make them proud with his studies. But Aubrey was raised by maids and servants of the Vogel clan; human mortals sworn into secrecy through generational magic to help care for the clan and ensure needs are met in times of stress or desperation.Upon the eve of his first century of life, Aubrey found his preference of blood to be fae. Upon the discovery of this, his parents became worried for their darling son. To have such an innocent species as his preferred prey was never a good thing. But they did all they could to support him from behind the scenes, as good parents are supposed to. After all, he is their heir.But a sect of people wanted to get rid of the Vogels; starting with their son. The sunshine prince that the staff loved was easily wooed by a young man, dragged into a whirlwind romance that felt as loving as a storm of petals and yet as quick as a summer thundershower. A wedding date was set quickly, with the young man insisting on getting married early.But it was not a wedding for love.
It was a plot to destroy the son of the Vogels.Aubrey was deeply hurt by this; and his first time in raising hands against mortals in a violent way was as a result of the discovery of the plot. He returned home that night, covered in blood, in complete hysterics. His parents hid his crimes from the populace; and comforted their son, tending to his first broken heart.While it scabbed over, the naïve little bird inside of him kept reaching out; getting burned. Every time he finally had a friend, it turned out to be some measure to get rid of Aubrey or to harm him. Scar after scar appeared on his heart; some scabbing over, and some simply bleeding into the ether.Finally, Aubrey had had enough; joining the Valley of Thorns in their war. However, he was a solo player, slaying both fae and human alike. Children were his only limits, preferring to save them instead.But yet, the sunshine prince the staff and his family knows remains in the home; his personality unchanging around his family and the staff. They only know Aubrey as their ball of sunshine, the one who loved the sun so much he willingly burnt to try and watch it rise. None of them are aware of the twisted, ugly thing that the world made Aubrey into; a mere ugly, blood covered child hidden behind the delicate, sunshine façade of an adult.And he'll do anything to keep it that way. Despite this, his parents are... wary of him. They love him, but from a distance. However; he's blind to this, thinking they love him unconditionally. The truth is... they're afraid. Afraid of him and his vast potential. Afraid that their first born is cursed.
