Name; Vaahn (pronounced "vawn" or "von" based on accent)
Sex; Male
Age; 148
Race; Dhampir
Race Explanation; Half-Vampire. Tall and slender and with well-defined musculature, dhampirs look like statuesque humans of unearthly beauty. Their hair, eye, and skin colors resemble unnerving versions of their mothers'; many possess a ghastly pallor, particularly in the sunlight, while those with dark complexions often possess skin the color of a bruise. While many dhampirs can pass as humans in ideal conditions, their features are inevitably more pronounced and they move with an unnaturally fluid grace. All dhampirs have elongated incisors. While not true fangs, these teeth are sharp enough to draw blood, and many suffer a reprehensible desire to indulge in sanguinary delights.
Personality; Just as the bulk of his race, Vaahn acts and speaks with finesse, he always has a "high-class" persona about him. Since he lives in the Bastions, he's embraced his vampiric heritage and shunned his human lineage. He is very cordial and suave at his best. At his worst, he is cold and spiteful.
History; Vaahn was born and lived most of his childhood in the populated cities of human civilization. From a very young age, he had always been alienated by those around him, despite not knowing why. He lived in a small home with only his father, as his mother passed away soon after his birth.
It wasn't until his adolescence that he learned the truth: His father was a vampire, and his mother was killed for wedding him and baring his child. His whole life to that point was in unknown hiding, thanks to his father's skill at elusiveness. But it became crucial for Vaahn to learn of his true heritage, as they were now being hunted by the very same society that they used to call home. In their attempts to flee, his father was captured by the humans. Fearing for his own life and too weak at the time to save him, Vaahn ran away.
After about a year of scavenging in the wilds to keep himself alive, he happened upon the Bastion and was more-or-less accepted into the towers and cavers. After getting his life back on track, he decided he would seek revenge on those who drove him out, and to learn what became of his father.
Powers/skills; While adept with most types of bladed weaponry, Vaahn prefers a simple rapier as his choice of arms. His true prowess, however, comes from his skill in blood magic. Passed down by his father's vampire bloodline, Vaahn is able to use blood as fuel for casting spells. Unlike most wizards or sorcerers, he uses his magic as a super-natural extension of himself, instead of preparing complex hexes with a spell book. Any source of blood can be used as a material component of his magic, be it from slain enemies, vials of blood, or even his own cuts and gashes.
Common Inventory; Vaahn carries very little in the ways of utilities. All he keeps on his person at any time is his sword, any money he owns, and several vials of blood, each about the size of an average test-tube used by alchemists. However he does always wear a dark ruby necklace that he treasures as a gift from his father.
Appearance;Vaahn is 6'3" and a slender 135lbs. His dark hair and fair complexion are from his mother. He is well-toned, but not enough to appear overly-muscular. He favors flavorful clothing, despite the slum-like conditions of some parts of the Bastion.
