Welcome to Gaia! ::

Name: Markus C. Hayes

Species: Lacertavir *made-up race that has certainly been done before with a different name* LIZARD MAN. XD

Age: 16

Gender: Male

Appearance Description: Markus has very strange golden eyes, the pupils being a horizontal rectangle shape, much like a goat’s. His fluffy red hair is kept neat and tidy at all times, always being sure to make good first impressions. His facial features, such as his nose and chin, are sharp, giving him a very serpentine look. The tops of his hands and feet are covered in reptile-like red scales and the ends of his fingers curl into black claws. It almost seems as if he has a separate outfit for each and every day of the year, since one day he’ll be wearing something normal, such as jeans and a T-shirt, and others he’ll wear something Victorian-like, frills and all. He works out and it shows through a few muscles, but he is by no means buff. His most notable features (besides his eyes and hands of course) are the two ram horns that curl around the sides of his head, a forked tongue that he often flickers out, and his razor-sharp teeth.

Personality: Markus’s personality is unlike any other. He does not suffer from Multi-Personality Disorder, yet every day he acts like a completely different person. That is because every day, he acts as if he were a character from a story he's read. Some days he’ll be brash and lovelorn Romeo, and others he’d be the vengeful and insane Benjamin Barker. His true personality only comes to the surface in rare situations. Markus is very serious with almost no sense of humor whatsoever. He does what he wants to get what he wants, and that’s final. He’s very self-centered, and the only time he would even think of helping another person was if it somehow benefited him. Luckily, his unlovable personality is always masked by the characters that everyone knows and loves.

Bio: Being “royal and pure dragons,” or so his father said, Markus was raised very strictly, almost to the point that he had no childhood. He was always expected to represent the family name with honor and dignity, even though all he wanted was to have a little fun. His parents kept him busy every hour of the day with dance lessons, piano lessons, etiquette lessons, lessons, lessons, and more lessons. His only escape would be that half-an-hour he got before bedtime to read his collection of Shakespearean stories. He was captivated by the beauty of his words and wanted to read more stories like his. That’s when his obsession with the art of theatre began.

When he had barely turned 8, his parents discovered that he was skipping lessons to run to the library, so they cracked down on him with rules so that he would have absolutely no freedom at all. What happened the week afterwards is still a mystery to authorities, but the entire building had burned down and only Markus had made it out alive. His parents’ bodies were missing. The rest of his family was unwilling to take in “such an unruly child,” so he was sent to an orphanage. Because of the manners he learned from his lessons and a fake smile, he was soon picked up by a family who wanted him.

He certainly didn’t want them though. They already had seven other children, and they neglected them all, including Markus. They were merely given enough food to live, water, and shelter. No love at all. This is when he picked up his habit of mimicking his favorite characters from many different forms of literature. It certainly earned him much-needed attention outside of home and at school. Eventually, at the age of 13, he moved out to live in the dorms of a private school, using his inheritance money to pay the expenses.

He was frequently mocked at this school for the way he dressed, his odd reptilian looks, and how he acted, but he didn’t care. He focused entirely on his studies of the English and Latin languages, his acting skills of course, and various sports, figuring he would need at least an adequate build in order to get decent roles. When the bullying from his peers became a bit too much to handle, he discovered a school that claimed to be accepting and tolerating to all. Though he knew it meant mainly race, it was still an offer he couldn’t refuse.

Skills and Abilities:
- Acting: He’s pretty damn good at it.
- English and partially History: His vocabulary can and will blow minds. As for history, he knows a lot because he read so many historical plays and novels, but many are either inaccurate or tweak the facts, so sometimes he’s right, sometimes he’s wrong.
- Athletic: He’s a fast runner, he can do backflips, and he can swim across a pool like a rocket. Just be careful when he swims nearby, because the entire place will be filled with steam.
- Can Speak Latin Fluently: He took a class in the private school and studied A LOT on his own.
- Fire Breath: Hardly a puff though. He doesn’t really practice it.
- Senses Body Heat: It’s useful, but at the same time, debilitating since his vision is extremely poor.
- Resistance to Fire: He's not completely immune, but it would take a LONG time and HOT temperatures to burn his skin.

Character Flaws:
- Every day, he acts like a completely different person
- He’s vein and selfish
- Doesn’t know how to take a joke
- Always misunderstands sarcasm
- He’s hard-headed
- Can’t do anything strictly logical [Math is his kryptonite. He can hardly add XD]
- Has a bit of a lisp thanks to his tongue flicking out constantly.
- He's legally blind

Sexual Orientation: Depends on the character he is that day… XD

Status: Single, but claims he’s taken if the role he’s playing is already in love and/or married.

Likes:
- Acting [Dur.]
- Books, plays, poetry, etc.
- Classical music and opera
- Foreign languages
- Attention [negative or positive]
- Warm temperatures and sunlight
- Swimming [he shouldn’t. For his and everyone else’s sakes]

Dislikes:
- Movies [he thinks they’re not as classy as old-fashion theatre]
- Snow and cold temperatures
- Insects [hatred, not fear]
- Being alone [now that’s a fear]

Extra Information:
- His healthy internal temperature is a whopping 200 degrees Fahrenheit [even hotter around his chest and neck area though because, well, fire]. He’s only around 130-160 on the outside, but that’s still pretty damn hot.
- He’s legally blind and should wear glasses, but he absolutely refuses. He relies on his heat sensing to walk around without hitting walls.
- This character… will be hard as hell to RP as. When I’m using him, my posts will be severely delayed because I need to research so much. Why the hell did I make a character with vocabulary and knowledge so vastly superior to mine…?
- Yes, he can’t help but drag on his “S”s. He hates it.
- He acts as female characters from time to time. Awkward.
- His first name is actually the traditional Irish spelling, Marcas, but he thinks Markus looks nicer, so he spells it that way.

Name: Victoria Vaughn

Species: Vampire

Age: Appears to be ten years in age but is centuries old.

Gender: Female

Appearance description: Refer to picture

Personality: Victoria is a very sweet person, so sweet that it's scary. She seems very nice to her students but those who know her, know that she's a scary person behind that nice facade. Victoria is a very sarcastic and cruel person who will not tolerate any failure from her students or even her co-workers. She loves to make people uncomfortable and is a manipulative person, but it doesn't necessarily mean she's a bad person. Victoria just knows how to get what she wants. She is and independent girl who is a natural leader, even if she is a bit of a control freak at times.

Bio: Not much is known about Victoria's past since she has been around for so long. What is known is that she was born in France and had lived there for a long time. Many events took place which forced her to migrate from her home country. After a while, she soon became known as a well known physician and medical scientist because of her many contributions to the medical field along with her many impractical procedures. Victoria decided to settle down and become a teacher at a school so she could educate the younger generation of the anatomy of any creatures. She specialized in humans but she does know the anatomy of other supernatural creatures.

Skills and Abilities: Victoria has the ability to make any object or willing/weak person her puppet. She can control something for any amount of time as long as she focused. However, live creatures, especially living things with wills are hard to control, so she will only make inanimate objects her puppet. She usually uses the black rabbit with razor claws since that was something of her own design.

Victoria also has enhanced senses, speed, and agility. Because she is a vampire, she is mostly nocturnal and is weak against silver and holy water, but stepping out into the sunlight will not kill her. It will merely weaken her. She also needs to drink blood in order to survive.

Character Flaws: Has a complex about her childish appearance so she will snap when anyone points it out.
She will go too far sometimes and will try to use live subjects for dissections or experiments.
Very sarcastic and mean at times.
Has a short temper.

Extra Information: Victoria is a noble of some type, so she may act like an aristocrat at times and have certain expectations of others. She always has her black rabbit with her since it's her weapon and it contains some hidden surprises... Also, when she speaks, it is the voice of a woman.
