D Upgraded HTML

NAME: D PLAYER: White_Ravens_White_Crows

SPECIES: Dhampire

GENDER:
Male

AGE:
Not certain. Aproximately 5 000 years old.

APPEARANCE:

Tall, thin, elegant and feminine in appreance. At the same time he drips with calm Vampire masculinity. Almost always wears his black armor and a blue amulet on a Gold chain. He is often seen with a blue scarf around his neck and a wide brimmed black hat. He always carries his slightly curved sword in a shieth on his back. He wears dark leather gloves, which cover Lefty, a symbiote he obtained when he was ten.

PUREBLOOD?:
No. Father is Dracula, Mother was a human.

LOCATION:
No-one is sure where he is from. He has travelled all over, but was born on the spirit realm to a beautiful and devoted mother.

SKILLS (physical):

Kick ass sword fighter. Because of his vampiric traits (speed, strength and vampiric powers) he can make his ‘regular’ sword do things that appear impossible.

Rides better than most cowboys because it’s been his favorite method of travel since he was a kid. He loves his mounts but he can be quite hard on them...

His vampire side has given him excellent hearing, sight, no need to eat or sleep for long periods of time and the ability to travel without stopping, wether by riding or walking. However, if he pushes himself too muc, he becomes quite ill.

POWERS (abilities/powers,magickal, etc.):

His temper is his main trait. He’s normally calm, cool, collective and very quiet, but when his anger is arroused (usually in a battle he’s losing), his true vampiric side is roused. He can handle magickal energy easily in this form. This, combined with his speed, strength and ability to attack swiftly makes him truely deadly.

KNOWLEDGE:

Extensive knowledge of Symbiote Demons, History, Vampire Lore (especially about Dracula) and Vampire Culture.

He knows how to ride, knows basic Cyborg horse repairs (You got to know this after living 5 000 years...) and cyborg horse behavior.

Extensive knowledge on how to hunt, kill and defend the creatures he is hired to protect.

WEAPONS:

Two physical weapons: his sword and his amulet which shuts down technological defenses in his presence. It works under most, if not all circumstances.

Lefty, his Symbiote. Lefty can help him see missing creatures or escape paths that D cannot sense. He can ‘eat’ spells and can resserect D when he is ill/dead. He also serves as a comrad and constant annoyance for D :-) .

D’s Vampire powers are an extention of his natural talents. He can tap into Vampire enery and uses this to inhance his strength and speed.

POSSESSIONS:

His Horse, his sword, his armor, a compass, himself, Lefty (he doesn’t have much or a choice in tha regard) and Conure.

MAIN SOURCE OF TRANSPORTATION:

His Maaaaaaaaaaaaany cyborg horses over the centuries. Also the power of walking :-) .

BACKGROUND STORY:

D is a rather mysterious guy. Most don’t know much about him as he doesn’t talk much. The exception to this is his student and ‘girlfriend’, Conure. He’s quite attached to her and after several years he broke the oath he made to himself of ‘never’ loving someone.

D was born to a Human Mother he barely talk about. She was lovely and beautiful. So much so that he understands why his father fell in love with her and took her in as a wife. He has inherited both her (and especially his dad’s) elegant looks and his mother’s calm personality. Despite this, D is a carbon copy image of his dad, including the Vampire God’s temper. The biggest difference is Lefty, who resides in D’s left hand.

D had never allowed himself to fall in love until very recently. He has known Conure for four years and slowly she has been bringing D out of his quiet, very internal shell.

Up until D had been training Conure, he has lived a life of quiet seclusion, only coming out to meet someone if he had work to do (often by comission) or if he needed help on a job. It wasn’t that he didn’t like company - he just preferred being on his own. After living 5 000 years D had seen all that he could have seen. He slowly lost touch with his emotions and because of this he perpetually appears to never smile. However, since being with Conure, he has allowed his emotions freer rein and not since he was a young has he felt so unchained. It’s an unusual feeling for him!

He doesn’t resent being a Dhampire. He knows and accepts who he is. He doesn’t mind Vampires, either. He just doesn’t understand their Thirst.
However, D has resented his Vampire side for as long as he can remember. He has strict personal views on feeding and the vampire prey drive he inherited from his father is particularly strong. He knows he can resist it and has successfully defeated his vampiric nature under most situations. However, if he keeps the beast at bay for too long, especially when under stress, he snaps. It usually happened when he gets too chummy with someone and because of this he had forbidden himself to have sex or even fall in love. He didn’t want to tempt fate. This changed when he met Conure.

Conure peeked his curiosity as soon as he saw her. She was short, cute and had a way of doing things that interested him. Now..he’d been sexually aroused by companions before (hard not to be when you’ve been around several thousand years and half vampire...), but there was something different about Conure. Something that just felt **right**. He’d always been wary of letting his Vampiric side slip. His Vampiric side was firmly stuffed into a little barred corner of his mind and he usually showed it when extremely angry or desperate. He did not want to risk hurting anyone, especially when his prey drive was as powerful as it was. His closest friends were aware of this problem and did what they could to avoid rousing his Blood Thirst. Unfortunately the beast he had locked away in the corner of his mind snapped loose one day. It was the worst release he had experienced in 4000 years. Conure got attacked and he, for the first time, nearly bit someone. After some talking with her instructor, D agreed to let her teach him how to balance the beast with his human side. For the first time he experienced true COMPANIONSHIP. He allowed himself the freedom to be who he was. He rather enjoyed being able to react without the fear of biting everyone and, well, enjoyed being knocked up, despite being a 5 000 year old virgin ;-) .

In ShadowBlood, D has reunited himself with Meier Link and D, the Vampire, Conure and two Morpheus’ have been travelling with eachother. D and Meier’s re-introduction was an explosive one, but the vampire and Dhampire have agreed on a quiet truce.

POSITIVE ATTRIBUTES:

Lefty. He’s fun to talk to (thought he never shuts up...) and he can be very helpful when D’s in dire need of supernatural help. A small meal of dirt and D’s back to new! (Okies..so it’s a little more complex than that, but you get the idea!)

D is quite a charmer in his own, quiet way. He’s practacle, simple and he’s willing to take charge if there is no-one else willing or capable.

Always dripping with cash. He never spends money on ANYTHING that isn’t needed.

He’s calm, cool, collective, and skilled to the max. He can smooth talk himself out of almost any situation but he prefers not to. Talking requires him to, well, talk. He prefers to sit and watch and because of this quiet observation, he doesn’t miss much.

He’s very loving and devoted to his friends. He will protect them to the death if he must and since he knows the fate of Conure’s child, he is even more determind to fight.

He has a sweet, quiet, secluded romatic side that only a special few have seen. The only four to have seen it openly were D’s biological mother and father, his horse and Conure.

NEGATIVE ATTRIBUTES:

Lefty. He never shuts up!!

He is hard headed and stubborn.

He rarely spends money when he doesn’t have to. A meal, a drink, a place to stay and something to clean his sword with an he’s happy.

D doesn’t talk much so his real thoughts and emotions are not always apparent. This can make him extremely hard to read and his true intentions difficult to predict. In battle this can be a boon, but while he’s riding with others it can be a problem.

Sometimes D will push himself too far physically and he will Over Heat. This is a form of heat exhaustion that Dhampires are prone to and they MUST be buried or exposed to fresh earth or they become critically ill.

D has a very high prey drive that he inherited from his father. However he represses it effectively with his steel will. This is the reason why he has not allowed himself to have sex, love, and basicly become intimate with anyone before he met Conure. He fears losing complete control and harming someone in the eat of passion.

OBJECTIVES IN LIFE:

To kill and not be killed in the process. That is the question. He’s a hunter by nature and he’s willing to exterminate troublesome creatures.

D doesn’t hate Vampires even though he’s been hired to eliminate the more frustrating ones. He has trouble understanding why they would want to hurt/feed off of anyone when alternate sources of food are readily available such as Blood Pills and Sanguine. His personal views on feeding does not include feeding off of ‘cattle’ (Re: donars), even if he, himself is starving. If he feels the Thirst, he resorts to Blood Pills or a good dose of Sanguine Juice.

QUIRKS AND SPECIAL TRAITS:

Quite tempermental when he doesn’t get his own way, but he usually puts it aside after a few minutes.

He always appears unfased by anything. Part of that is because he IS very old and has practically seen everything that there is to see. After seeing societies rise and fall, D has become a little numb with life.

He still fights his vampiric side, but he is slowly learning to relax his hold over it. When he represses his Preditor nature, he represses the need to catch, bite and feed from an unwilling victim. This he inherited from his father and he resents having to live with it. However, with Conure’s gentle hand, he has been learning it’s okay to feel the way he does.

SPECIAL:
(stuff you don’t want the rest of the players to know, but GM must know)
