Welcome to Gaia! ::

Name: Ketsueki Yuki (Last, First ala Japanese style~!)

Name Meaning/Nicknames:
Time for a Japanese lesson!
Ketsueki is 'Blood' and Yuki is 'Snow'. Can we say vampire? I think we can~

Gender: Male

Age: Seventeen (Though, he's been seventeen for quite a while.)

Race: Vampire

Major(s): Hand To Hand Combat, Dark Magic, and Ritual Practices

Character Looks:

Yuki is roughly 5' 9", with jet black hair that falls roughly down to his upper back. (Though, it is known to grow when he unleashes his vampire powers.) His pale skin is accented by his toned body, which he usually leaves uncovered, as he is unaffected by cold or heat, and usually walks around in leather pants. Said body is unusally graceful, which was only exemplified upon his change. (Meaning he was always graceful, but moreso now.) Yuki also has a thing for chains, and won't hesitate to deck himself out in the metal. He has crimson eyes when he's hungry, and darker, reddish-black ones when he's nicely fed. He always has purple, bruise-like shadows under his eyes, due to an inablity to sleep. He enjoys having a smile on his face when around others, but usually looks pensive when alone. His fangs usually hang just over his lower lip, and he can be seen chewing thoughfully on it with them - again, usually only when he's alone, or in situations of unrest.

Allignment Good/Neutral/Evil:

Yuki is a neutral character, although he has his evil moments, such as when he is pissed off.

Personality:

Yuki is a quiet sort - having been around for several centuries, he knows when to talk and when to listen - but he has a bit of a temper when he gets angry. You don't want to know what kind of understatement 'a bit' is, trust me. He has a dislike of needless violence, but has become dulled to the actual attrocity of it, due to his centuries of feeding on human blood. He's a bit flirtatious, and has interest in both genders. When he's stressed out, or just absentminded, he'll slip into using Japanese instead of English, which really probably doesn't help any stressful situation he'd be in.

History:

Yuki's name wasn't always Yuki, and no one knows what his original name was except for himself and one other. He began his life in England, roughly within the period of the 1800s, (he has no idea what dates exactly, as he had no real knowledge of the official year and passage of time until shortly after being 'turned'), living with his mother and father in the countryside. He came from a family of blacksmiths, who aided the production of the trains that carried materials to and from London. One day, while outside resting on top of a grassy hill at dusk, he was approached by a dark man in a heavy black cloak. Yuki knew that this man was going to be trouble, but couldn't bring himself to rise and run away. Instead, he was drawn to the man, who led him away from his family home, and into the rural back-land of the village. There, the man, expressing much adoration for Yuki's beauty, bit him and changed him into a vampire.

Upon being bitten, and realizing what he had become, Yuki knew he could not return to his village, and, although expressing distain for the man that changed him, followed him off into the night. Once Yuki learned enough in the ways of survival, he fled from his master and arrived in Japan, where he took the name Ketsueki Yuki, and lived reasonably happily for several decades. Over the years, he's met several demons, including Glissa, and had several lovers, (a few of which are still kicking about), and recently, due to extreme boredom and lack of better things to do, he decided to venture to Tenshi High and meet up with his dear friend.

Any Weapons/Armor:

Yuki generally lacks both, instead wearing simple clothing, (although he has an addiction to tight leather pants). Due to his vampire-enhanced strength, he really has no use for physical weapons. And, although he bleeds like any other being, his cuts do heal quickly enough that armor would just impeed his speed.

Any Items:

Yuki brings with him what is on his person - i.e., his clothes. (Well, and a few small momentos that he never leaves behind on his journeys.) He didn't want to be weighed down on this particular trip, because he's been around Glissa enough to know that you may want to be quick enough to avoid bodily harm.

Any Battle Skills/Magical Powers:

Yuki has the power of hypotism, although this is purely as a mechanism to lure in his prey, and not something he has actually worked at being able to do. He is skilled in the martial arts, and prefers hand-to-hand combat to weapons usage. His vampire fangs aid him in a way that is techincally a battle skill, as, once he punctures the skin of his prey/target, the person is lulled into a state of orgasmic complanceny, which allows him to drain them of their blood, resulting in death or...whatever else can happen. *wink*

Character Flaws:

Yuki cannot go outside during the day without a cloak on, due to his 'allergy' to the sun. This is also in line with his need for blood, be it human or animal, which can prove to be detrimetnal to his life as a whole. If Yuki doesn't regularly drink blood, he loses both his strength and his self-control. He also has a bit of a cocky attitude when confronted with a possibly violent situation, which has been known to make things...well...end badly.

Friends in the world: Glissa Navali, as well as several as-of-now unnamed allies.

Enemies in the world: Generally, just religious zealots who want to kill him due to his unholy status.

Lover: He currently lacks any lovers, although he has had his share of them, both women and men. The latter are his more recent interest, and he won't hesitate to flirt innocently with any ideal specimens that he meets.
