Name: Prince Theodoric of Dalacia (as a mortal) /The Red Knight
Species: Vampire
Gender: Male
Age: 820
Appearance: The Red Knight lives to its namesake. It is a relic of a forgotten era, where men were clad in plate and wars were fought on honor. An era of warring monarchs and noblesse obligue. He is rather tall and imposing, his old and battered red armor, bearing the ravagings of a thousand battles augments his bulk, and hides a chiselled physique. His helmet is shaped in the form of a lion's head, its factions contorted in a fierce growl. If one were to see him without his armor, it would reveal the pale skin of a vampire, as well as a fair face with a chiselled jawline, even though his eyes would be sunken and his dark irises would show no joy. His hair would also be neatly tied in a ponytail, and he would possess small beard.
Noble House: N/A, Renegade
Personality: Theodoric used to be a kind, responsible prince who more often than not had a low opinion of himself. While he tried to do his best, and tried to apply a degree of wisdom to interact with others, he suffered from self-esteem issues. Shy and withdrawn, Theodoric was not a people's person, and while he was cunning and well-read enough to lead men and attend courtly matters, normal social interactions were beyond him. Idealizing the figure of a king-philosopher, he always sought to achieve the four cardinal virtudes (prudence, fortitude, justice and temperance). After his kingdom fell and he became a vampire, he became more withdrawn and aloof than he ever was, and his self-doubt was replaced by a strong drive to fight the ever advancing ruin in the world. He became stoic, and prone to endure all kinds of physical and emotional pain. But no matter how accursed he felt, and how badly he was wounded, up to this day he still yearns for justice and the salvation of mankind, even if he, as a vampire, must die for the realization of such dream. He does not prey on humans as much as he can help it, and tries to only drink blood that is given willingly, even if it means long periods of starvation.
Theodoric rarely talks about his past, although he feels tremendous remorse and guilt by the events that allowed his kingdom to fall. He killed his own vampirized sister and burned the capital with his own hands so that the few remaining humans could live on without being hunted by his fellow noblemen turned vampires. Ever since, he has wandered, trying in vain to right the wrongs in the world.
Speciality: Master-at-arms (Sword, Lance and knightly weapons), Horse riding, History and Military Tactics, Shadow and Fire manipulation.
Weapons: The Red Knight only owns one weapon, the ancient sword known as Entelecheia, which he found in an ancient tomb. Said blade was forged with the ores of the heart of a fallen star, whom endured the vast cold of cosmos as well as the fire of the astral bodies. Even after thousands of years, it is still as sharp as it was when it was forged, and it is a blade notorious for its resilience. No weapon or magic has ever dented it. For that very reason it is also impossible to enchant with magic, and indeed, the Red Knight himself suspect no mortal hands forged it.
Magic: Fire and Demon magic, both as enchantment and as a projectile.
City: Wanderer
