Name: Orlando
Race: Vampire
Age: 20 physically, 90 actual years old.
Height: 6 feet
Weight: 207 pounds
Appearance: Spoiler for as moon howler:
This beautiful non-human is a tall and fairly bulky gorgeous thing with an athletic physique. His hands, great hands that could easily crush a man’s skull are coupled with short and sharp nails that cut trough flesh without any effort and dig into the bone.
He has long hair, dark as the night, kept in a long braid that goes from his neck to his knees.
His pale complexion makes his skin shine like the moon, as his imposing size and composure make him stand out from ordinary men.
His wolf-like crimson eyes and thin eyebrows give a narrow piercing gaze as his thin lips and sharp animalistic teeth form a bloodthirsty smile resting on a diamond-shaped face.
These sharp teeth, with canines that would fit a rabid hound, have dug into many bodies in the past and hint his inhuman state.
While clean-shaven on the most part, one could see he does, in fact, have side burns that reach his lower jaw.
This fantastic beast of a guy usually wears a simple black buttoned shirt, whose collar is always left open.
He also fancies a red tie, jeans and neat leather shoes, and prefers to never change clothes unless they are damaged beyond repair.
He always seeks to wear the same attire every day.
He carries many scars across his back, and a large scar resembling entangled snakes runs across both his forearms.
Incredible
Agility: Incredible
Constitution:Incredible (Heroic when hardened, but can't regenerate while hardening and vice versa.)
Other Abilities: Vampire: Whatever Orlando is, he ain't human. He is always hungry, though he learnt how to keep it at bay. To feed, he requires human souls to maintain his body, which he absorbs by drinking their blood or devouring them whole. He lacks a reflection, and his shadow has long left him. If sunlight makes contact with his body he will turn into ash and burn away, but he averts that by literally wearing peoples bodies, which he remodels to resemble his own in the first place. Sometimes. Their hardness and quality usually depends on that of the used materials.
Grind em' up:While his body is monstruous, Orlando has a liking for martial arts, and weaves them into his attacks deceitfully when required with the fluidity of a master.
Just a flesh wound: Orlando cannot be incapacitated by normal means and has an unnatural insensibility to pain, being able to shrug off most excruciating wounds and keep fighting at his best constantly. That along with his regenerative abilities makes him a force to not underestimate. However, he is greatly afraid of fire, to the point said wounds will agonize his mind even when his body hardly recognizes burning pain any longer.
I can smell ya: His sense of smell reaches legendary prowess, being able to instantly deduce things such as sex, age and state of mind of others based on smell alone, yet the smell he is most keen on recognizing is the smell of blood, to such an extent that he could track a wounded man from miles away without too much trouble.
Magical Ability: Very High
This fucker's vampiric power is Blood Qliphoth. By harnessing the negative emotions of the souls he drains, those who surround him, and even himself, he channels these energies into his body for various effects. It isn't solely limited by blood though, but rather his entire body. He just thought it sounded cool.
Blood fountain: Orlando may bend and harden his own blood and shape it into practically anything ranging from sharp blades to more complex constructs such as chains used to hook himself to other surfaces, helping him zip rapidly around the battlefield and increasing his mobility. The chains can also attach themselves to another’s body, thus one could be pierced, pulled or whipped by them.
He can also create blood guns, ranging from shotguns to handguns, machine guns, rifles or even a minigun. They all shoot bloody thorns, stakes, or whatever would be most painful and made of his own blood. His bullets aren't just strong enough to put down even the largest of animals, they also invade the victim's blood through crystallization, gouging their blood vessels and innards gradually unless removed, while also being excruciating to do so.
At first, you only have to worry about the thorns, but that is only the beginning. Soon, the necrosis kicks in, and without a powerful energy to keep his own at bay you risk becoming his enslaved ghoul. Otherwise, the thorns will spread through your body in a matter of minutes and that will be the end. Of course, removing them and treating the wounds would be sufficient, or once again warding off the corruption with your own energy.
Absolute Body Manipulation: The ability to contort and shape one’s body to impossible degrees at will. Twisting or bending any part of Orlando's body will prove useless. He can even manipulate his nerves, blood vessels, lungs and gastric fluids for horrifying effects. For example, he could breathe in to the point his lungs grow twice his size and shout hard enough to shatter walls, vomit steel-melting acid, or connect his nerves to other peoples for very bad things.
Even turning his body parts into parasitic life forms isn't impossible, though making living organisms out of dead flesh takes a bit more time.
His control extends to his very body structure on more subtle ways. He can even grow many claws, turn his chest into a massive mouth, have his digestive system drag people in with stomach tentacles and regenerate at will.
He can regrow limbs in moments and regenerate from fatal wounds, even something ridiculous like being crushed to a pulp isn't too much of a problem. Doing it over and over again will exhaust him, but its not too much of a problem as long as he gets to eventually feed. The real problem is burning, while he can regrow and reform his cells he can't control his own carbonized atoms. Something like that is far more effective.
Blood hardening: His training in blood magic enabled him to use it to it’s fullest effect, using soul-infused blood to harden any part of his body at will.
This makes him able to become an impenetrable shield capable of blocking powerful blows. When hardened, the limb in question will glow in a sickly blood red color as vampiric energies flow trough the very cells, keeping the tissue together.
Equipment: Sunglasses: These sunglasses are completely ordinary mundane sunglasses. He wears them because he can and to hide his unnatural red eyes that would easily help others realize his vampiric nature.
MP3 and Headphones: Orlando constantly listen to music, be it day or night, even in battle he will play his favorite tunes, so he is immune to monologues.
Not listening to music makes him prone to outbursts of anger and violence, thus he always keeps his headphones and music on at obnoxiously loud volume.
Metal bat: It’s a goddamn metal bat. Need I say more?
Origin: That was 175 years ago, when he quit being human. In all this time, he learned of his identity as an heretic, he learned how to keep his hunger for blood satisfied, how to hide from those who wished to destroy abominations such as him, and how to survive in an underworld where killing was a regularity.
He learned how to live in the new world of darkness, and learned how to enjoy it.
Under the moonlight, he hungers, he preys on whoever he pleases. He only has one goal: to survive.
Weaknesses: Vampirism: Being a vampire, he requires blood in order for his body to not deteriorate. The sun’s light will effectively destroy him, thus he can only walk around freely at night. He also has the inability to cross bodies of water by foot.
Fire: Burns stick longer than any other wound and an intense fire can effectively kill him as long as it completely incinerates him. Even then, it's still going to fuck him up.
Light sensitivity: His eyes, used to the dark of the night, are sensitive to light sources. Anything ranging from an electric torch to a flash bang could very well blind him temporarily.
Likes: Honest people, animals, pretty girls, the easy life, eating, walking around at night, helping people, listening to music, drinking good drink and eating good food, himself.
Dislikes: Liars, mages, overly hot or cold weather, bright places, the sun, lightly lit places, fire, smoking, boredom, facial moles, sun chips and bugs.
He also hates being treated as a monster or having negative connotations held upon him for his need to feed. Having deep within his heart the wish to live a normal human life, being persecuted for his vampiric nature is something he will never tolerate.
