Name: Verlucien
Height: 6'3"
Build: Lean, but very well toned.
Birthplace: Sicily, Italy; raised in Rome till age four, grew up in Hispania {Spain}
Birth date: March 29, 60AD
Appearance:{see reference pictures} He has long black silky curly hair down past his waist, turquoise eyes and pale smooth skin. He has a double set or razor sharp canines that extend and retract at will, though when small they're still just as sharp. He has a faded scar across his torso, a souvenir from his last night as a mortal man. Not shown are two large black bat-like wings with black feathers adorning the tops of them; able to hide them and expose them at will. He wears a tiny gold ring on his left pinky, the ring once belonging to his sister. On his left ear he wears a tiny gold loop earring. His ears are of normal appearance and not pointed like some of his kind.
Personality:
He has aristocratic mannerisms, quite polite and very well poised; very well spoken. He isn't quick to anger, but can become bored with things quite easily. He is a cold and ruthless killer, only sparing those he deems worthy of his mercy. He will drink for sport, indulging on the blood of humanity and vampire alike. He can charm and seduce a person quite easily, as it is in his nature to do so; even to the point where they don't realize they are dying. He feels sympathy for no one, unless he feels the need to be sympathetic, which rarely there is an instance of.
Weapons:
Being the son of a Roman Soldier made him pursue the art of sword fighting, an Iron sword having been his first to experiment with. Over the years he learned many different sword techniques, such as how to fence as well as fighting in the style of a samurai. Amidst these techniques he also learned how to fight with a bo staff, making for a convenient technique when using a sharpened spike to impale his victims with. Give him a sword or a staff and he'll be able to use it, whether it is necessary to carry one or not.
Natural abilities:
He is a vampire of many talents, having been created by one far more ancient than himself. He can walk the light of day without any difficulty, only avoiding it out of choice rather than necessity. He can fly with or without the ability of his wings, making it easy to transport himself across miles of land within the span of minutes. He can hide among the shadows unseen, making his form into a shadow itself. He can see into the minds of others, as well as speak to them in theirs.{Mind Lock} He can cause hallucinations to a degree where one thinks they are somewhere else, as well as hypnotize humans and bend them to his will.
His vampiric speed and hearing are natural gifts bestowed upon being born to darkness. He can move things just by willing it so, but would often times prefer to do things himself. He can materialize and dematerialize {Atomic pass} whenever he pleases, making it useful for when he wants to move from one place to another with ease.
He also has the ability to to transform into pure energy for transport or escape, almost seeming to disappear and reappear out of thin air. {Vapor} Though Vampires are known for their stealth, he can be caught off guard; though it rarely happens. Contrary to popular belief he cannot transform into any other type of creature, as this ability was not bestowed unto him by the dark gift. He is able to speak to bats, something he found quite curious, but nonetheless became quite fond of the creatures.
Weaknesses:
Contrary to what people may think, holy water and supposed holy relics have no affect on him. Same goes for supposed holy or sacred land. {I have my logic on this. You create your vampires the way you wish, I'll do the same with mine.} That does not mean that he is invincible or impervious to anything in any way. There is actually logic in Garlic repelling vampires, please refer to this link if you're curious enough to know why.
Blood loss- A tremendous amount of blood loss that he cannot quickly replenish will degrade him, thus turning his hair white and his eyes red with black corneas. Only in a hibernation like state, where he would not drink for a long time, will his skin blacken and shrivel; until of course he fully restores it upon feeding. Crying leads to blood loss and can very well be a cause of degradation. The usage of certain abilities in this state become limited.
Poison- Poison in the blood can render him weak and sicken him, as well as poison from an outside source. Ex: Being shot with a poison tipped arrow or dart. Certain herbs that are used especially in poisons can affect him, but only because it would affect his bloodstream; for if the blood is poisoned it will sicken him. That also includes severe illnesses such as cancer or something that is causing the human to become terminally ill. Things such as drugs or alcohol can alter his state of mind, but that's only temporary.
Severance- The removal and destruction of the heart and brain can lead to death. If his head is severed but the brain and heart are still in tact, he can survive and may even be able to reattach himself. A stake to the heart may not be able to kill him if it's merely punctured and not destroyed. He does have the ability to heal of course.
Elements- Fire can damage him to a degree and can even kill him if the heart and/or brain are damaged. Water cannot kill him, but cause problems with his internal workings if too much is ingested. While he could survive the most bitter of cold, nitrogen can freeze him and can be used to break off limbs, {but that's far too advanced for any early period rps he may be involved in}. Lightning can hurt him and as mentioned above if his heart or brain are destroyed because of it, it can eventually kill him.
Other things to note:
Verlucien is a lover of refined things, such as art, music and literature. He enjoys painting and drawing, as well as singing and playing his beloved violin. He can speak several languages, among them are Latin, Spanish, English, Italian and German. He prefers to hunt under the cloak of the night, his preferred tastes wandering about at those hours. He very much has a heartbeat, though it may be too slow and faint to detect immediately. His favorite colors are red, black, silver and occasionally gold; the colors reflected in his way of dress at times.
