That makes sense, should give us some nice action to start with. I guess he/she should be captured from near his rebel base rather than on a mission. Oh, that's another question, how do we want to gender these pairings*?
~*~*~*~
Name: Erik Schumann
Race: Vampire
Age: 243
Height: 6”2
Weight: 167 lbs
Build: Muscular, but lean, not bulky
Hair: Light brown, usually pulled into a short ponytail that extends just past his shoulderblades.
Eyes: middle gray
Clothes: Usually he's very casual, wearing black linen pants, black running shoes, and a dark green long sleeved shirt. His resistance cell doesnt have uniforms or anything, so he wears regular items that may not be designed for combat and stealth, but that generally blend with sneaking around at night and are easy to move around in.
Accessories: A single necklace, worn under his shirt, with tough and thing cloth “chain” and a charm made of tin. The charm depicts the symbol of the resistance cell, a pentagon with three letters in the middle. X:F They stand for Xani: Freedom. The Xani cell is the name for the group that he commands.
Powers/Skills: Erik is supernaturally strong, and can move at superhuman speeds, like any vampire. All of his senses are heightened compared to those of a human, so that he can see farther and more clearly, and hear sounds from a greater distance. In addition, tastes and smells are greatly enhanced, and both positive and negative tastes and aromas have a greater effect on him. This ability can be turned into a weakness by presenting him with a grating sound, or a particularly pungent and awful smell or taste, which would be unpleasant. In the case of sounds, anything too loud could be grating and even temporarily debilitating.
General Personality: Erik is outspoken, easily angered, and often rude when discussing his beliefs. Despite this, he does try to keep his anger in check when the situation requires it, for instance if he knows that shouting off in anger will give the other side an advantage. He has a strong prejudice against most humans for what they have done to his people. As far as he is concerned, all humans are slavers who care nothing for anyone not of their kind until proven otherwise. That last bit is important, however. He will adjust his preconceptions if given enough evidence to prove that he was wrong.
Background: Erik was born a vampire, the child of two factory slaves. He was raised technically owned by the head of the factory, but the man was relatively gentle and ignored him and the other children until they got older. Then they were to learn the trade for a year and be “bonded” by the age of thirteen. Erik spent lots of his short childhood reading, learning about the world, asking questions about why slavery existed. But none of it made any sense to him. Why punish a race of people for what previous generations had done to humans? So a week before his “bonding” was supposed to occur, he ran away from the factory compound. The vampire lived on the streets for a few years, fortunate in the fact that as a vampire he needed little to eat and drink to survive. Finally he was taken in by a rebel cell, where he learned their beliefs, and gradually came to hate humans more and more. They never forced him to fight, and for several years, he wished only to learn and study with them, doing chores to earn his food and lodging while inside the compound. But eventually he wanted to be a part of the action, and finally took up arms at seventeen.
Name: Joseph Moreau
Race: Vampire
Age: 642 (looks early thirties)
Height: 6”4
Weight: 157 lbs
Build: Thin and fit, but few defined muscles.
Hair: Dark red, wavy, cut short to about his ears, parted down the middle.
Eyes: Blue
Skin: Pale White
Clothes: He wears an old-fashioned suit, reflecting his station as lead servant in the household, and suiting his master's tastes. His suit looks like the one in the following picture, though the rest of his appearance is totally different.

Accessories: A simple leather watch, and a simple leather collar bearing a small carving of the Vandros family emblem, which he has worn for many generations.
Powers / Skills: Same as other vampires, heightened senses and strength. The binding process weakens Vampires somewhat. But they are still far more powerful than most humans, just unable (and often unwilling) to harm them. In his spare time, he has also become an excellent musician, having learned the piano and cello.
Personality: Joseph has become a kind of advisor to the men and women who have owned him in the Vandros family. He is kind, distant, respectful, and always follows orders. But, he will speak his mind if he feels his master or mistress is acting unfairly. He helped to raise many of his charges before serving them, and as such has often developed a rapport that extends beyond mere servitude to a distant friendship.
Background: He was only 70, young in Vampire years, when the humans took over. But even at that young age, he had been a typical “violent” vampire. The kind who stalked the night and sucked the blood of virgins and all. When his kind were overrun, he was as furious as anyone else, and his first binding was of the strongest variety to get him to cooperate. But over the first two hundred years or so, he began to see that humans and vampires were at least equal, and that he deserved this life for the trouble he had caused, for the lives he had taken. After the first three bindings, the Vandros family no longer found it necessary to bind him completely to a new master, and only used the milder bonding measures. He stayed with them faithfully, and had learned to play the role of the perfect servant. In his mind, new Vampires who were not around during that time, and other more peaceful species do not deserve slavery. On a whole, he thinks that the idea is deplorable. But on a personal level, in his mind he is still serving a sentence for those he killed in his early life. His life as a slave has been a good one, as all but a few of the Vandros family have been fair masters that allowed him a relatively fair schedule, living quarters, and even the freedom to pursue his own interests during his free time.
