Welcome to Gaia! ::

Claudio laughed. "And a pleasure to meet you too, friend" Claudio said, continuing his music, though began playing a softer, slower song. "She actually is not trained at all. She has been calm, cool, and collected as far back as I can remember." Newo looked at Claudio inquisitively. "See he isn't a bad guy, Newo. This is our first friend at the University." he said, rubbing the back of Newo's neck. "Don't worry, she's a tad shy to strangers, but she'll loosen up."

"Well in the normal areas of the world where unique individuals such as are selves are not as well known, people are afraid of me, only because I wear black and walk with a wolf which I find ignorant. I'm sure I will make good friends here though. I like it here." Claudio said, standing up. He rubbed the symbol burned on the side of his neck which ached at times, and leaned his guitar against the railing. "it just occured to me that I have not properly introduced myself." Claudio stretched his hand out "I am Claudio. You can call me Claude if you wish, some people do. I cannot tell you my surname because I do not know it, but I guess that part is unimportant." He said smiling.

"Well, none of them are really very useful just yet. I can do things like manipulating the earth, such as trees and what not, but I still have a long ways to go. I can communicate with Canines, like Newo here," Claudio said, patting her head. "I can also use music to influence people like in their emotions, sometimes even their thoughts if I play well enough. My last ability which you probably won't like, but if it makes you feel any better, is very unnoticeable, I have developed Canine like characteristics such as a heightened sense of smell, and all that."

"Necromancy and Healing? A contradicting combination" Claudio said, chuckling. "I actually have absolutely no idea what my life was like, funnily enough. I one day woke up in the middle of the forest alone with no idea anything about myself apart from my first name. When I went to wash my face off in a pool of water I saw, I found this" Claudio showed the symbol branded onto his neck. "I assumed it was either the mark of some sort of clan or family, but when I left the forest several years late I found nothing on it in any form of research. It was the oddest thing, but I like the insignia, I think it looks unique, though it aches at random times, but I have no problem with that, it isn't painful, just a tad irritating."

"Eventually I caught Newo watching me, and she barked when I noticed her. My ears heard 'bark' but in my mind heard 'What are you doing here?' I realized I could understand her. Eventually she became my greatest friend, and about a year ago we went traveling the world, looking for a home, and a place I can practice my abilities and, well, here I am." Claudio said grinning. "Oh, and Newo's actual name is Ikkan, and she is a Wolf Spirit. An ethereal being. That's about it."

Claudio rubbed the symbol. "Now that you put it that way you're right, there are a lot of possibilities." Claudio said, "Ah, well, best not dwell on the past, but to look to the future." Claudio said smiling. "So tell me about yourself if you don't mind me asking, whats your story?"

"I don't show it to many people, and the people I have shown it to thought nothing of it. It must get so dull after two or three hundred years, I would go insane, though I guess that's why many people consider vampires evil... I guess that kind of makes sense." Claudio said to himself. The word insane triggered something in his minda nd he looked up sharply. "Weird." Claudio said, "I just remembered something again.... Some little words or images trigger little bits of my memory, it usually happens every other month or so..."

"Vampires are considered evil because of the way we live. We like to prey on mortals..watch them..grow close to them..and use them for our own personal gain..aside for that we vampires are associated with blood and sexual lust..both of which often give people the impression that we are evil. But I can assure you that just like humans, there are good vampires and evil ones. And our choice of nurishment can vary as well. Personally..I believe that we vampires all have something in common...we all love power..and we all love beauty.."

Damian closed his eyes and smiled abit. Before turning his head back to Claudio. Listening to what he said.

"That must get very annoying..But at the same time thats good. Atleast your memory seems to be trying to come back to you. Does it hurt when it happens? Like a headache?"

"No, doesn't hurt It's sort of..... Well, how do I describe it.... It's like when you wake up suddenly from an exciting dream, or one of those dreams where you fall then you wake up just before you hit the ground.... That kind of feeling, but while you are awake, if you can imagine it." He said, chuckling at his own strange explanation. "So what classes are you taking?"
