Personality: Bellamy is very blunt and straightforward. He is said to have a very dry sense of humor, but at least he has some humor. The young man has a cold shoulder and isn't one you can easily get close too. Don't be fooled, though, if you get to his sister, you have a one way ticket to Bellamy's heart.
Background:
[BCOLOR=transparent][BCOLOR=inherit]Charles moved to the English colonies[/BCOLOR][/BCOLOR][BCOLOR=transparent][BCOLOR=inherit] when he was barely out of his teen years. His family didn't approve of him being a writer and having "revolutionary ideas" against the English Crown. So he left in hopes of leaving the English aristocracy and being able to speak out against the tyranny of the British. Charles spent many nights drinking and sleeping with American[/BCOLOR][/BCOLOR][BCOLOR=transparent][BCOLOR=inherit] whores. He didn't have any cares in the world and shockingly, enjoyed living from paycheck to paycheck. Being the youngest of his brothers, he didn't have to worry about being called back to England to carry on the family line. There were six heirs in front of him, so he basically disconnected himself from his family for a time.[/BCOLOR][/BCOLOR]
[BCOLOR=transparent][BCOLOR=inherit]He had lived peacefully in the colonies[/BCOLOR][/BCOLOR][BCOLOR=transparent][BCOLOR=inherit] for nearly five years when he suddenly got a surprise on his doorstep. To his dismay, it was his eldest brother. Arthur was there to find a suitable American[/BCOLOR][/BCOLOR][BCOLOR=transparent][BCOLOR=inherit] wife for his brother, if there even was such a thing. It was no surprise that Arthur had secured an invite to one of the most influential families in Virginia Christmas party. The party was one of the biggest social events of the year and Charles was no fool[/BCOLOR][/BCOLOR][BCOLOR=transparent][BCOLOR=inherit] to see what his brother was doing. [/BCOLOR][/BCOLOR]
[BCOLOR=transparent][BCOLOR=inherit]The Rolfe's had to be one of the most influential families in Virginia and he could clearly see what his family was doing. With reluctance, he attended the party and by the end of the night he never wanted to leave. He was infa[/BCOLOR][/BCOLOR][BCOLOR=transparent][BCOLOR=inherit]tuated[/BCOLOR][/BCOLOR][BCOLOR=transparent][BCOLOR=inherit] with Clarissa, even if her family had Indian roots. He was enchanted by her and on Christmas eve, 1783, they were married in London.[/BCOLOR][/BCOLOR]
A year later, their first son was born.
[BCOLOR=transparent][BCOLOR=inherit]Early years-[/BCOLOR][/BCOLOR]
[BCOLOR=transparent][BCOLOR=inherit]Bellamy was a happy child to say the least. During the spring and summer, he lived in London and during the fall and winter, he lived in Virginia. Of course the highlight of his life was the time spent on the boat traveling across the Atlantic. At a young age, he developed a love for the sea. He also spoke of how he would become and pirate of even work in the Royal Navy. Bellamy never was one for studies, unlike his father, and instead enjoyed learning how to use a gun and a sword. As a young boy, one would say that Bellamy was drunk on life. He valued everything and touched everyone in his wake. When his younger brothers, [/BCOLOR][/BCOLOR][BCOLOR=transparent][BCOLOR=inherit]John and Francis[/BCOLOR][/BCOLOR][BCOLOR=transparent][BCOLOR=inherit],[/BCOLOR][/BCOLOR][BCOLOR=transparent][BCOLOR=inherit] were[/BCOLOR][/BCOLOR][BCOLOR=transparent][BCOLOR=inherit] born, he took on the role every older brother should. He shockingly helped his mother raise his younger brothers, putting down his guns and swords. [/BCOLOR][/BCOLOR]
[BCOLOR=transparent][BCOLOR=inherit]Teen Years-[/BCOLOR][/BCOLOR]
[BCOLOR=transparent][BCOLOR=inherit]By the time Elizabeth was born, Bellamy was already growing into a young man. He didn't see his youngest sibling as just his sister, but more as his daughter. Their father didn't show much attention to her and their mother was too wrapped up in the women of their social status to give notice to her young daughter. Couldn't the nannies handle the new addition? Of course. So Bellamy took it upon himself to raise his baby sister. When Bellamy turned sixteen, his parents sent him to live in England for good. They wanted him to be married by the time he turned eighteen, so he better start looking for wives then. The men on the docks still swear they can hear Elizabeth's shrill scream as she was ripped away from her older brother. The sailors also say they can remember the shock on the crowds face's as she called Bellamy, Daddy. To this day Bellamy regrets leaving his sister the way that he did, because he knew that his other siblings wouldn't care for he the same way that he did. [/BCOLOR][/BCOLOR]
Once Bellamy was settled in England, it didn't take him long to find a suitable bride. When Bellamy and Kenna met, it was like a whirlwind romance. They were married by the time their next birthdays came around. Bellamy was only seventeen and Kenna was barely fifteen, but they still knew they loved each other. Of course, Bellamy was being pushed to have children, but he wished to wait. He didn't want to put his young bride through something as stressful as childbirth, but when she fell pregnant he was still happy.
[BCOLOR=transparent][BCOLOR=inherit]They were both excited for the first of the [/BCOLOR][BCOLOR=inherit]Clayburn[/BCOLOR][BCOLOR=inherit] heirs to be born and couldn't have been more thrilled. Their happiness couldn't last long, though. Kenna ended up having a miscarriage seven months into the pregnancy and both hers and the babies lives were lost. So distraugh[/BCOLOR][/BCOLOR][BCOLOR=transparent][BCOLOR=inherit]t[/BCOLOR][/BCOLOR][BCOLOR=transparent][BCOLOR=inherit] over the loss, Bellamy didn't attend either funeral. Within days he returned to America to help raise his siblings. [/BCOLOR][/BCOLOR]
[BCOLOR=transparent][BCOLOR=inherit]Adult years-[/BCOLOR][/BCOLOR]
[BCOLOR=transparent][BCOLOR=inherit]Elizabeth and Bellamy ended up more as father and daughter than sister and brother. He centered his whole life around Elizabeth as a way to hide his true feelings. When their[/BCOLOR][/BCOLOR][BCOLOR=transparent][BCOLOR=inherit] parents first began pushing her to get married, he fought them for months. His parents came to an agreement that if he returned to England to help his brothers, then they would hold off until Elizabeth grew older. To protect Elizabeth, he agreed to go to England. [/BCOLOR][/BCOLOR]
[BCOLOR=transparent][BCOLOR=inherit]In just a few months, Elizabeth wrote him explaining to him that she was sent to New Orleans. Immediately, Bellamy returned back to America once more. Things were good for awhile until his sister fell pregnant. Bellamy instantly felt like he had failed at being a brother and a parent figure. It wasn't until he saw the love between Elijah and Elizabeth that he accepted it. He could see the same love he had for Kenna between the two. So when little Bellamy was born, he felt like he was getting another chance at being a parent. Of course, as usual in Bellamy's life, his parents came in to ruin things. Once again, Bellamy found himself on a boat back to England, but this time the journey wasn't one he wanted to make. [/BCOLOR][/BCOLOR]
[BCOLOR=transparent][BCOLOR=inherit](I love Bellamy. He's based off of a few of the guys in my life, so I hold him close to heart. Love him. :3 )[/BCOLOR][/BCOLOR]
