Characters
Anub('narak)
Name: Anub'narak
Nickname:Anub
Age: 28
Gender: Male
Height: 5'10"
Eyes: Hazel
Hair: Blonde
Clothes: He prefers to wear dark hues and tones, for it helps him
blend into the shadows at night. Often his body his covered up
(long sleeves, pants) so his skin doesn't reflect the light. During
the day he looks like a normal ol' person, so he can blend in.
Equipment: Dual Nail-Guns with silver nails
Powers: Night-meld, swift, agile
Weakness's: Speed (not as fast as the vampires), radiation, guns,
blades, etc. normal human weaknesses
Appearance: skinny, freckled, light skin, very bony
History: Anub's original name was Alexi Stukov. At a young age he
became greatly interested in mythology, history, combat, and spying.
He studied and practiced these things while growing up. His parents
never payed much attention to him and because of this he became
anti-social. He became adept at blending into crowds, busy areas,
and became exceptionally skilled at blending into the shadows. Anub
also secretly studied weapons, edged and projectile while growing up.
He didn't develop very many friends throughout his childhood.
Anub's parents died in a "car crash" in his senior year. After
graduating high school Anub decided not to go to college. This is
when Anub started calling himself his current name. He chose this
name from a name of a demon he read about in some scriptures. He
went to the east coast and was accepted into a special training school
run by the NSA (National Security Agency). He excelled in this school
and graduated at the top of his class two years later. He became an
operative for the NSA and statred spying for them inside the country
and abroad. When Anub was about 22 he was on a mission in England
when he first encountered (as far as he knew) living vampires and
hunters. Anub was out at night when a woman snatched him into a dark
alley and started to go for his neck. He heard a silenced pistol go
off and the woman slumped to the ground. Anub turned around and saw a
hunter and asked what was going on. That is how Anub was introduced
into the world of vampires and hunters. After completing his mission
Anub left the NSA and searched for more on this new world. Though
Anub left the NSA, he kept many friends with access to all sorts of
files. He now spends most of his time wandering the streets of New
York searching for more hunters and vampires. Anub favored the hunters
until a hunter he didn't know tried to blackmail him for weapons
plans Anub was working on. Anub killed the hunter and never again
fully trusted hunters.

Kana
NAME: Kana Leila
MEANING: Powerful – Dark Beauty
AGE: Undetermined (late teens, early twenties)
GENDER: Male
HEIGHT: 5’8
RACE: Vampire - leaning towards neutral
DESCRIPTION: China-white skin contrasts with his black hair and dark
green eyes. His dark hair has a green tint to it, perhaps even green
highlights, and he has grown it out a little so he now has bangs that
fall into his eyes and instead of it always being spiky, it kind of
lays flat in the back. He has a thin, twiggy build, but despite his
frail appearance, he is much stronger than he looks. Wears industrial
gothic lolita and outfits that could mistake him for a j-rocker.
Example: (Weird, armor-like) On top of the head, a pair of goggles
are worn. Where there should be lenses, there is a metal plate with
etchings carved into it. The goggles are designed to help keep those
pesty bangs out of the eyes, though that isn’t much on an issue for
those with short hair. A zip-up pleather vest with a dark grey, white
speckled furry ruff around the collar. The right shoulder has an armor
shoulder piece with metal spikes covering its surface. Underneath the
black-silver vest, a black sheer long sleeved shirt is worn, ending
at the wrists. Following the armor/protection theme, studded black
and metal elbows pads are worn along with metal-plated arm and wrist
guards. Yes, even the gloves have metal protection - the back of the
hand, the wrist and even the knuckles. The fingers are left free from
any sort of clothing. The wrists have spikes on them, providing further
protection. Pleather pants are designed in a similar fashion as the
vest - only there is a belt coated with metal plates with a skull buckle
in the front and another belt worn lower - studded with pyramids and
loose chains hanging down in loops. The pants fall over knee high
boots with steel buckles and three inch spikes on the boots. Now,
this whole attire wouldn’t be complete without metal kneepads, though
they are concealed somewhat thanks to the loose nature of the pants
from below the knee.
BACKGROUND: A strange child growing up. He had a strong fascination
with vampires, which influenced his behavior – he even bought customized
fangs. Along with his taste in vampires, he became an arsonist/terrorist
along with his brother. They mainly targeted nightclubs and powerful
businesses, just to watch the chaos that came in the following days. Kana
later ran into a vampire, Kerri. They had a bit of fun; Kerri turned Kana
into a vampire; buildings were destroyed; people were killed; Kai, Kana’s
brother, was turned into a vampire as well. It only lasted a few days
before Kana and Kai slipped up and the police got a hold of Kai. Kana
disappeared for a few years, leaving everything behind. (He went to
Canada =D)
PERSONALITY: He's bi-polar and on the edge of having a mpd. (detailed
version next year)
ABILITIES: Uses explosives, knives, piano wire, just about anything
and everything to get what he wants. His clothing can be used as a
weapon as well, or as armor...
Vampire Abilities/Traits: His fangs are retractable - of sorts, so
he can look like a normal person if he needs to. He doesn't look it,
but he can benchpress a truck - to give an idea on his strength, but
he has never tested it out, nor does he ever see the need to. He may
be quicker than humans, but he is still a klutz at times. His
reflection in mirrors is often misty, not quite fully there nor
invisible. He can stand sunlight for a little bit - a little after
sunrise and before sunset - as it really doesn't bother him too much.
He has minimal psyhic powers, but only for testing out another
vampire's will power. He can control weaker human minds so that they
ignore him when he is near, but it is easily broken (by attacking him,
or if a stronger mind breaks his concentration - which isn't hard to
do). He can also cast illusion spells over himself, enabling him to
change his hair or eye color. He can bring himself anywhere by using
his mind, though he prefers the traditional way - by means of a car
or flying. He can even shapeshift, though the only forms he has
mastered are a crow and a wolf.
As far as weaknesses go, he can go a few days without feeding, but
any longer than four days and he has a high possibility of starving.
If any kind of object were to pierce him anywhere in the torso for a
good few inches, he will most likely die within a few minutes. He has
slow healing powers, so it is easier to wound him, and he often scars
like a normal human would - after a few years, the scars will deminish
and eventually fade. If he drains another vampire of their blood,
entirely, a portion of that vampire's memories, their personality
and actions, will mix with his own - eventually causing a mental and
physical breakdown in the following years.
HOBBIES:
LIKES:
DISLIKES:
OTHER: Wears clothing by h. naoto, alice auaa, and na+h. He often
never carries weapons for fighting, though his attire can usually
benefit him in some cases.

Hair Colour: Dark brown, almost black, with faint red streaks.
Height: 5"10
Weight: 132 lbs
Species: Vampire
Age: close to 120 but looks about 23
Backround:
To his enemies, his lovers, companions, and the rest of the world
he was "a bleeding violin of violence and shadow; a dark angel
forged by the devil's kiss" a description he had coined himself only
a few centuries earlier. Dain had few reputations among both the
living and the dead that he did not live up to. He had, for the past
century been known by few, yet acknowledged by many. He had the few of
his kind that interested him and the occasional individual from the
world of the living, whom he had fallen in love with . He did this
often; fall in love. And over his lengthy stay on earth, had managed
to be hurt by it more than once.
------------------------------
Neona
Name: Neona Alaula
Meaning: Neona = New Moon Alaula = Light of Dawn
Nicknames: She goes by both Neona and Alaula. She also goes by Mahina
which means moon.
Gender: Female
Race: Human
Age:19
Appearance: Even though her name means moon and that is associated
usually with darkness, her appearance is like that of the sun. Her
complexion is somewhat tan. She has straight blonde hair that reaches
to the middle of her back. The sun bounces off of her hair making a
golden glow surround her somewhat. Neona has midnight blue eyes with
sliver specks, like the stars against the night sky. her appearance
contradicts eachother both having the brightness of the day and the
aspects of darkness.
Clothing: She doesn't really have a perferred clothing style. Just
anything that is comfortable. She typically wears jeans and for
shirts she wears any colors. As of lately her color choice has been
the solemn colors of blues, black, greys, and purples. She also wears
a necklace that contains a gold cross going through a silver heart.
Personality: Her personality like her appearance contradicted each
other. She was known to be the happiest person in school and at the
same time the most troubled. She is very loving and caring, but she
has a habit of putting herself down. She is a loyal and dependable
friend and was always there when you needed her. She keeps to herself
for the most part and has some trust issues. She is a good judge of
character.
Interests: She loves everything about mythology from any era and she
loves the medieval times. She believes in many mythological creatures
including vampires. She is facinated with their style of life.
Past: Neona was a good student in high school, but among her peers
she wasn't really noticed. Even with her bright hair, but she was
stereotyped to be an easy catch for bed. Her family name tend to get
her in a lot of trouble as well. Neona went to a private high school
where all the rich people went and well her family wasn't exactly
rich. She suffered emotional abuse from her family and others at
school. Ones she called "friends" were just using her. She believed
she was not good enough for anyone and at 18 she moved out into the
city in a small apartment. Her emotional abuse caused her to think
badly about herself. She resulted to cutting. One night she was
outside on her balcony when she cut herself. The smell of her blood
brought and unlikely someone to her. It was a vampire named Sitara
(Hindi for starlight). He was thirsting the blood and promised not
to kill her. He told her he had been facinated by her and her love
for vampires. He promised not to hurt her as long as he could see
her. Neona was lonely and proposed that he could stay with her and
she could help quench his thirst for blood when he needed. The two
were lovers after awhile, and Sitara was the one to give her the
necklace. They would go to raves and just loved being together.
Eventually Neona was adapted to night life and would sleep next to
Sitara during the daylight hours. But a twisted fate came. Sitara
was killed by other vampires one night while he was out hunting.
They believed he was not living the traditional life as a Vampire.
She went back to the daylight routine and Neona hasn't been the same
since.
------------------------------
Astennu
Name: Astennu
Meaning: God of the Moon (Egyptain)
Race: Vampire
Gender: Male
Age: 313
Appearance: He is around 6'5'' in height and being a vampire he tends
to have very pale white skin. Astennu has unruly brown hair (not
short but not too long) and perssain blue eyes. He wears the styles
of the humans in this era and blends in with the night crowd.
Personality: Astennu is usually stoic and keeps to himself when he
is around new people. If he thinks he should say something, he will.
But when he is around Neona or his other friends, he is very open and
cheerful. He can be a mischief maker among his friends. He is very
protective of Neona and would be even if he didn't make a promise to
his long lost friend. Astennu is really down to earth and is one who
won't harm humans if need be.
Past: He was a very close friend of Neona's lover, Sitara. Astennu
doesn' like to remember his past and how he came to be a vampire, but
he enjoys his life as one now. Astennu talked to Sitara before he
died.. He knew Sitara would go and fight the other vampires and they
both knew that he would not survive. Astennu made a promise to look
after Neona and protect her from harm, and he still keeps that promise
today.
Weapons/Abilities: As of now he has no weapons but he has a couple
abilities. He can fly and can sense his own kind when they are near.
He needs blood like all vampires, he has a lot of speed and is good
at stealth.
Weaknesses: Of course he is weak to sunlight only, he can walk around
a house that has lights on at night. Sometimes his emotions get him
into trouble. He can be killed by steaks, swords, and what not. He is
only immune to the cross that Neona wears. Sitara made it from pure
silver, but he made it so it could only hurt vampires who are not
within her heart.
------------------------------
Lance
Name: Lance Rastor
Occupation: Vampire Hunter
Race: Unsure, but most likely half-vampire
Age: 23
Gender: Male
Height: 5'11
Eyes: Amber
Hair: Black and kinda wavy
Clothes: Black baggy pants with a belt, tight white t-shirt with
black trench coat and Romani glasses (thin black ones)
Equipment: Aurasame and Zurasame (Two katana-like swords, little
shorter, lighter) and metal sheaths that attach to his belt, holding
them on his back hips. Both swords are made of silver alloys, also
has a silver cross on a silver link chain (bling-bling yo)
Powers:
Quick-learned Adept: He picks up styles of swordsmenship very quickly.
Twin-Sword Style Swordsmenship: Trained since a boy while growing up
in Japan, Lance took up two sword fighting since he was young in his
school's kendo classes.
Vampire Cells: Almost immediately after being born, he was captured
by vampires and experimented on, having Vampire DNA injected into
him, giving him supernatural speed, strength, awareness, and even
minor abilities. However, he maintains a wiry frame despite great
strength and speed.
Reverse-Blade Style: Essentially a style that holds the hilt of
the sword though the blade extends the other way from the hand
Iaido-ryu: A style that involves the drawing and cutting with a
sword in a single motion (Think Batto-jutsu from kenshin minus the
god-like speed)
Omnislash (Borrowed name): Lance's ultimate technique, a series of
slashes that use all his styles and are extremely fast and utilize
both blades. No one really knows what it looks like as most are in
several pieces by now.
Weakness's
I'm putting these in after taking out two powers because I was
accused of godmodding, so essentially even without those I was told
I was too strong even though he's not that strong to begin with.
He has one good technique, supernatural abilities, and no weaknesses
but no strengths against anything.
Since I took out the energy blade, i think i might take out the
weakness as it serves no purpose
Disabling Light: If in the light, he's as strong as a normal average
human who benches 250 pds and curls 75 in each hand. Though his
technique and style remains the same, minus the extra strength, speed,
and awareness
Description:
Almost immediately after being born, he was captured by vampires and
experimented on, having Vampire DNA injected into him, giving him
supernatural speed, strength, awareness, and even minor abilities.
His parents were killed and he was raised by his uncle, a fanatic
swordsmen and a Nazi. Lance disabled his uncle at the age of 13
when his father attacked a group of his friends whom were all black
or asian, his uncle lives in a nursing home almost completely
paralyzed except for his arms, head, neck, and hands. He moved to
NYC because of the increase of human deaths related to Dark Ones,
and he has rented a small apartment through a relative of his old
roommate.
------------------------------
Kerri
Name: Kerri Tintrow
Name Meaning: Child of the Darkness
Race: Vampire
Status: Married to Quin Tintrow.
Age: A couple hundred years
Sided With: No one. She doesn't tie herself to any vampire factions,
but she does want the humans to stay around. She needs them for food,
plain and simple. Plus, they have provided her with jobs, and other
things to do in life. Killing the entire human race is absurd to her.
Appearance: **short version**
Height- 5'4
Eyes- Silver
Skin- Pale, very close to white
Hair - Light purple with loose waves
Clothes- Jeans, underground band sweatshirts and T-shirts,
matrixy type of stuff.
Extras- She has three ear piercings on each ear.
Powers:
-Spidey Sense - Kerri has the ability to sense nearby things/
people. It's just a tingling sense that runs up her spine and gives
her an inclination that something is near.
-Night Vision - Her vision at night is sharp and quick; her eyes
also seem to have an animal like glow to them.
-Speed - Kerri is remarkably fast. She can zip away so quick that
the naked human eye could not detect her.
-Blood Love - Like all vampires; she has the need for blood. When
she goes without out for more than a day she can became irrational,
violent, and dangerous. However, unlike most vampires she can detect
blood types just by the taste and smell (if she's close enough).
-No Empathy - Kerri can kill, and kill, and not feel a bit of
guilt. It's natural to her, just like speaking. If she's in the mood
she may even torture her victims before she kills them.
-Language - Kerri can fluently speak English, French, and
Vamprish. She is able to cover up her accent so she appears normal.
-Anti-cutts - If Kerri gets a minor scrape or cutt, her skin
will heal itself instantly.
-Flying - She can fly! Just like peter pan!
Weaknesses/Strengths: Kerri can be killed in a few different ways.
The most obvious is decapitation or some sort of object straight
through her heart. Another way you *could* kill her, is to set her
on fire or push her into direct sunlight. Holy water can fend her
off, if you really need her off of your back. It makes her skin itch,
and burn like it's on fire (if it's in mass amounts), and it can be
quite uncomfortable. Crosses, on the other hand, do not bother her.
In fact, she is quite fond of looking at them. Most of her strengths
are her powers (stuff stated above). Her determination and strength
can serve her well in times of need.
Personality: Kerri has layers, just like the onion in Shrek! So I
will describe each as they most often appear.
Upon first glance, Kerri is a mysterious vampire. She could really
give a care about humans. They're food, plain and simple. She usually
keeps to herself and only acts social to blend in, or to her very few
friends. Sarcasm and fangs are her greatest weapons so watch out! =p!
Upon second glance, Kerri is a purposeful individual. She never does
anything just because she wants to, she always has some sort of
reason for it. For instance, if she is tortuing her victims, she's
pissed off and finding a vent for her frustrations. If she is
painting, then she is either doing it to relax and keep her from
being bored. If she is being anti-social in the dark corner of a
room, then she is observing everyone, possibly looking for her next
kill.
Upon third glance, Kerri is an artist. In her head she has a little
pent up ball of creativity which is just dying to escape. Usually
she just paints, but sometime she will sketch, and do other such
things. In her apartment she has many of her artworks hanging up.
Upon fourth glance, Kerri is a lover. It seems odd that a born
killing machine loves to be loved, but she does. Years of being alone
and pain just build up inside of her, and she really WANTS someone to
be there for her. She doesn't show this to people, but if they push
her buttons the right way, she'll open up with them. Once you're in a
relationship with Kerri, you will have a soul mate for life. Yes,
she is THAT devoted.
History: She came from England to the 'New World' aka America,
escaping Religous Opression. She was forced to marry a man that her
Dad had picked for her. Being very upset, that night she ran into
the woods only to find her eternal fate. She ran into a vampire and
became one herself. Since then she has tried her best to blend in
with all the mortals and will only kill when necessary. Her hobby
is painting and yes she DOES have a job, they vary from time to time.
Vampire Notes: To help blend in she has a job, tries to act normal,
and alters her appearance. She wears fake human-like teeth, bronzer
powder on her skin, normal human eye contacts, and anything else she
deems necessary.
The picture
was painted by a man who saw Kerri, but lived to tell the tale of it.
The little things of light are souls, because the painter thoughts
vampires steal blood and the souls of living things. It can be found
in a famous art museum in New York city.
------------------------------
Quin
Name: Quin Tintrow
Race: Vampire
Age: 415
Gender: Male
Description: 5' 6", with short spiked brown hair. One green eye one
reddish brown eye (history behind it). Eye blinding pale skin, if in
the sun (which hasnt happened for a while). Mainly wears all black
suites or casual coats with a black leather trench coat, but sometimes
white depending on the ocassion.
Personality: One of the more powerful vamps, he likes to assume
control when he can but most of the time he does what the elders tell
him too. He is somewhat distant from the younger vamps in that he
does
not really connect with them, so he keeps to himself, unless there are
things that need to be done, then he makes things happen properly.
Quin speaks with the older vamps who know what life was like a few
hundred years ago, the younger vamps don't respect the elders as much
so he has to put them in there place most of the time.
Weapons: Stealth (of course), daggers, a samrai style Katana, Melee
combat (martial arts kinda stuff), and the ocassional 35 mm pistol,
and of course his fangs
Powers:
-Blood lust: When he senses, sees or smells blood he goes
crazy, his eyes get all black and he will not let anything get in
his way
-night vision: Since he is a creature of the night he has to
beable to see in the night, sorta like a cat, but not so catish
-flying: Over the years he gained the ability to fly through
years of training and the gaining of magic abilities speed and agility:
Well basically he can run fast and jump high
-Force like powers: He has the ability to push things away
with his mind (hold out hand and push them away), and the ability to
pursue certain people with weak minds.
Weakness: Stakes of course, he can be killed by swords and piercing
objects to an extent, some swords cannot pierce his skin due to its
aging thickness, Decapitation, he isnt a chicken, he is agitated by
crosses and holy water, but they wont kill him unless there are mass
amounts.
History: It was January 1st, 1603 when Quin was turned to the undead.
Quin was being persecuted for being a warlock due to his 2 diferent
colored eyes, one green and one reddish brown. In an effort to save
his life, he stayed out in the woods for a few nights, waiting for
some vampires to find him. One night when he was walking back froim
one of his stays out, he stumbled upon a group of vampires feeding on
an unlucky couple. He pleaded to one of them to let him join. The
vampire named Frac, was the one to let him join their ranks. That
night they brought him back to there stronghold, and he was bitten,
then he had to drink the blood of the vampire that had bitten him.
Over the past 400 years, Quin has been feeding on mortals night by
night, and the vampires forces have been growing in numbers. He has
gained skills in melee combat, as well as in sword fighting. In 1798,
he and his clan snuck aboard a ship sailing from england to New York
and ever since then, they have been there, feeding and growing.
Over time he has gained friends in the vampire order and lost them,
the humans gain more and more knowledge of how to beat them every
generation, knowledge is found and passed down. His struggle for life
has just gotten a bit harder with the new age of weaponry, and this
is only the begining.
------------------------------
Sean
Name: Sean Silver
Nickname: Sean
Race: Not sure, Somewhat Human, somewhat Vampire, but he's not
half-vampire... well it's hard to explain ^_^;
Age: 20
Appearance: Sean is about 6 foot and is well built. He has jet-
black
hair which comes a bit above his shoulders and he has a long ponytail
Samurai Jack ^_^ ) and has eys that change color. In the daytime he
has Blue eyes that have a thin red ring around the pupil that is
impossible to notice without looking into his eyes very closely. At
night his eyes turn a firey dark red.
Weapons: Sean has a giant machete that he carries over his back,
this machete has holy water infused into it, and it was made in holy
water, making it much more dangerous to vampires, he also has many
silver throwing daggers, and a silver katana.
Background and Notes: Sean was a vampire hunter for most of all his
life. He was human and was very agile, fast, and stealthy for a human
back then. Sean was bitten by a vampire on one of his latest attacks
when he was knocked un-concious. He teamed up with Lucreta and he got
a potion from her that was 'sposed to turn him back to human. Because
of a charm he carries, the transformation messed up. He is now mostly
human. He is much stronger, and faster than a normal human, but not
to the levels of most vampires. The downside is that during the night,
he becomes very very weak to all crosses that are made for the purpose
as a holy symbol. He still is even weakoned by any crosses (as long as
they're upright) and will lose some of his strength, speed, ect.
because of it (only for crosses which are not made to be a holy symbol).
When he was very young his father always read books on superstitious
folklore and became very interested in Vampires. Sean is not sure how,
but his father found a Chirch where vampires would come and introduce
new humans into the vampire familiy, it was very formal and cerimonial.
These vampires were organized and formed a strong bond. His father
came to the chirch often and gave blood to the vampires, gaining
status (For they didn't turn all humans who came into vampires, you
had to earn the right, or else there'd be too many vampires and too
little food)
His father gained ranks and soon he was near the top, near the
transformation into a vampire. He took his son along (Sean), and
showed him to the vampire community. Sean didn't truly know the
horrors of the vampire way back then, and somewhat accepted the
vampires himself. It was this way for a full year after that, Sean
went to few of the meetings, but he never saw how the vampires fed,
or the death which stank the old and abandned Chirch, he only saw the
vampires which treated Sean nice, due to his father's rank. Until the
day his father was accepted, and Sean watched his father die, and be
reborn as a vampire.
Sean ran off, the vampires didn't chase because they all thought
he'd come back, but Sean never did. He ran into his uncle, who never
visited Sean much after his father first hunted for Vampires. Sean
told his Uncle everything, and his Uncle took Sean back to his place.
Sean's Uncle was a vampire hater, not a hunter, but he did make very
many things to thwart the vampires, and he started to train Sean in
the art of combat, and told Sean stories of the vampires in order to
teach the boy about them and their strengths and weaknesses. Sean
quickly became strong under his Uncle's teachings and technology.
Sean then took a 3 year long Journey to find his weapons which he
has now, the holy weapons which were located in Asia. When he returned
he started to hunt the vampires and gained the title of a vampire
hunter, his speed and strength increased to close to hman limit, as
all true human hunters are born with that potential.
Sean then came back to the old Chirch, on one of the meeting
nights (They never had changed it since Sean was a little boy).
Seeing the bodies of the victums who were not dedicated to the "family"
strewn about Sean went on a rampage, slaughtering nearly all the
vampires, killing the stronger first, and making the weaker ones flee.
When he was confronted by his father, he found he didn't have the
strength to battle him, and fled.
Sean heard his father had left, and head far east, where it is
said he was sealed somewhere. The "family" of vampires was very weakened,
but not dead, and though they moved far away from the old Chirch,
they started to rebuild, away from Sean's watchful eye.
His Uncle died two years after he had received his weaponry. Sean
left his uncle's mansion and strayed into the city, in order to truly
hunt the vampires, making himself a base of operations which was
hidden in the city. He was soon bitten and turned to a vampire, where
the history above tells the rest...
Powers: Sean has super strength, speed, and stealthyness. He
regenerates fast, and is immune to the bite of a vampire (He will be
effectd by the blood loss, but will not turn into a vampire himself)
and he can lose a lot of blood without dieing. The only way to kill
him from blood loss was to drain him of all his blood except maybie
a cup-full.
Sean is able to see in the dark, see infrared, and understand
and talk the language of Vampires (For RPGs without Vampire language,
ignore this). He is immune to the sun, and during the day while he is
walking around, his strength lower dramatically, almost to the point
of a strong human, including his speed and agility. He is immune to
all crosses and holy symbols, ect. during the day.
During the Night, Sean becomes much stronger, not to the point
of a vampire, but much stronger and faster, ect. During the night,
he is extreamly weak to crosses (explained above in background) and
he also has no lust for blood. Sean makes up for his below vampire
strength with very fast speed.
If Sean needs to he can get strength from drinking blood like a
vampire, but he doesn't like resorting to that, and never does. He
has never had to use that ability except for the first time he
unexpectedly found it out due to his old vampire friend.
Another attribute which Sean has found he developed over the
years is a resistancy to the telepathic effects and powers of the
vampires... well, at least of the vampires who are able to use that
ability. And his eyesight can see past the delusions and illusions
that some powerful vampires try to pull on him.
Sean has been for years training in the art of a Xaon Hunter, which
is a hunter who uses the strengths of a vampire and human in order to
become stronger. It developes some vampiric traits, but of course, as
all people are different (even hunters who may have a viraity of
vampire within them) some may only be able to develope so little of
powers.

Name: Dante Isenhart
Nickname: Isn't Dante short enough?
Gender: Male
Race: Vampire
Age: 423
History: Dante was born into a time when exploration was the way of
the world, and anything was possible, monsters, giant sea creatures...
anything. Or at least that's what everyone thought at the time.
Unfortunately for the vampire community it was a time of relative
submission, for vampirism had been discovered and broadcast to the
population. People feared vampires at every turn, and, unfortunately
for vampire-kind, people even grew afraid to go out at night. Vampire
attacks became more desperate, but in their desperation, they became
easy prey for vampire hunters. At the time, vampire hunters were a
relatively new thing for vampires, and many fell prey to them before
they knew anything was wrong. Vampires began to thin out, their ranks
dwindling considerably, and so, attacks became fewer, and the
population grew complacent, forgetting that vampires even existed
except for in old scary stories and folk tales. Unfortunately for
Dante, his family's complacency was its downfall. Vampires attacked
them all one night while they were riding in a carriage back home,
fearing nothing, even in the middle of the night. The carriage had
stopped and Dante was out, giving in to nature's call. When he
returned, he found a sight he'd never forget. His sister and parents
were being literally eaten alive, and he was powerless to stop it.
Paralyzed by fear, Dante did nothing, save for watch. After that
night he swore vengeance on all vampires and joined a group of
vampire hunters. He was good at his job, slaying all sorts of
vampires within a short period. And finally, one fateful night, alone,
Dante met the vampires who killed his family. He proclaimed vengeance
on them and slew all but the most powerful. Hearing the boy's cries
of vengeance, the vampire thought of a sinister plot. In an ironic
twist of fate, Dante was turned that evening, becoming the thing he
hated most...a vampire. With no one left to turn to, and no purpose
in life, Dante spent years in question, feeding when necessary,
disgusted with his lot in undeath. Eventually Dante forgot what it
was like to be human, forgot why he hated vampires, even forgot
compassion and love. He became a gruesome and efficient killing
machine, preying on innocents whenever he pleased, slaying his
slayers, killing anything that wasn't already dead (or undead for
that matter). Then, a group of powerful hunters found and cornered
Dante, and, finding they had not the power to kill him, decided to
seal him away instead where he lay dormant for hundreds of years...
until one day, when a bunch of stupid kids out for a night on the
town stumbled into his crypt, looking for some fun. They awakened
Dante by mistake and, although somewhat disoriented, Dante knew
enough to remember he liked to kill, and slew all of them. Now Dante
is back, weakened and confused. All he knows is that he's hungry, so
terribly hungry...
Appearance: Dante is a fairly tall individual, standing roughly 6'4".
His hair is a silvery color, as it prematurely greyed in his late
teens. It falls just above shoulder length, and is sometimes kept
back in a small pony tail. His eyes are a deep brown, but often
reflect his constant inner turmoil by glowing slightly. His clothing
consists of the robe of an old Priest he once slew, a deep red in
color, as it was bathed in the blood of the entire church present,
and rather than turning brown, was kept red as a testament to Dante's
powerful and destructive will. Dante's fangs are actually longer than
most, as he uses them frequently and spent time with a mystic who
helped them "grow" in exchange for his life (which he later lost to
a "friend" *points to sword* of Dante's). In terms of build Dante's a
bit on the muscular side. Before the attack, Dante worked as a
farmhand to his father and built up a decent frame. Now his muscles
hide his inner strength, actually misrepresenting how powerful he
really is...or was.
Personality: Dante is an evil sonuvabitch, and he likes it that way.
He kills for pleasure, and hasn't the slightest shred of mercy left
in him. Those who cross his path don't often live to tell about it,
and if they do, Dante hunts them down and finishes what he starts.
He has forgotten everything about his past life, and continues to
go on hating everything that lives. Dante's always hungry, and with
that hunger comes a blind rage...it's been a long time since Dante's
seen anything but his own hatred. It would be wise not to cross Dante,
he's not one for talking or chit-chat...he's more of a "Right, I eat
you now" sorta guy.
Weaponry: Coming from a time before the development of guns and the
like, Dante carries with him a cursed black-hilted sword. It's blade
grows a crimson color, and it's hilt is shaped like that of the talon
of some foul beast of the abyss. Dante simply calls his weapon his
"Hunger" and uses it when dueling those who think themselves his
better. So attuned with it's master is the blade, that when Dante was
sealed inside his crypt and the hunters tried to remove the blade
from him, it flared a bright red and almost killed the man who touched
it. Thus it was left with its master, the hunters hoping that Dante
would never awake, and the blade would remain there with him forever...
Strengths: Dante's only just woken up, and all of his latent abilities
are still somewhat dormant. At his peak, Dante could change his form
into that of a gaseous mist, or that of a bat. He had the ability to
control weaker minds, and also a small measure of telekinesis.
Unfortunately for Dante, he has none of those things now, (nor does
he know if he'll ever have them again) and is nothing more than a
fledgling vampire, (With the experience of an Elder) looking for food.
Weaknesses: He's a vampire, so the usual stuff works. Anything holy
i.e. crosses, holy water, etc. He's also only just woken up and has
only a fraction of his former glory. About all he has going for him
at this point is that he's a vampire, beyond that, he's not so tough...
