Alright, I can work more on it tomorrow. I just don't have time tonight to do much.

Deon Erickson

Deon Erickson

Deon Erickson

Age:
Four Hundred Fifty-four years

Species:
Vampire, Pale Lady bloodline

Goals/Faction:
Deon has one major goal in mind. Originally his plans were to assist vampires in ruling the world, but as seeing how humans will always have the will to fight back as long as they outnumber vampires, his goals have changed. After seeing most vampire rulers unfit to take on the role of a potential leader, Deon had decided that humans should be wiped out. The only exceptions being those left to be used as cattle to be farmed for blood for the rest of their remaining lives.

Backstory:
Deon was an English man before he was turned as a vampire. Growing up in a relatively wealthy family Deon was well educated, but what really got his attention was military actions. Well in his forties Deon saw action as a lieutenant for the British armed forces against the French forces working a covert mission. During this skirmish his unit was wiped out by a single soldier before any investigations could be taken against the French. Deon soon learned that the soldier that had wiped out his unit was a creature he had believed to be folk lore until this time. After impaling the creature and working various tortures he had convinced the vampire to turn Deon himself into a vampire.

Deon continued to serve as an officer in many different armed forces until the end of the first world war when he decided playing a King in a world where he was a god was a waste of his skills and brains. He then started working as a military advisory to several advisers, recognizing the fact that he did not have the technical know how to lead a nation or the people with in it other then the ones with the guns and blades.

During the Nightwars Deon served as a colonel for the vampire forces trying to take the world from the humans. Having lots of success though the years of the war he figured there was no way to lose. Until his forces lost. After the war ended he decided that his superiors were even less qualified then him to rule a planet full of humans and under educated vampires. He now works slowly to build up a new force, only recruiting a few that he deems necessary or useful to his cause either by skills or by connections to other vampires. Occasionally turning a human who may be worthy of working along the ranks with him.

Powers/Skills:
Strategist: Serving as a high ranking officer for many different armed forces over the course of the last 400 years Deon is an excellent strategist. Many times forcing his opponents to make a choice of having to choose the greater evil. Or the choice of winning the battle or the war, many times not knowing which choice is which. Though this does not apply to his political know how which he does recognize. Though until he finds someone more qualified he is deeming himself the most qualified to try and rule the new world.

Strength: Due to his age, Deon has had plenty of time to make himself stronger both physically and mentally.

Skills fighter: Because of being in many different armies including the vampire armies during the Nightwars Deon has experience on a large scale and verity. Making him a deadly piece of warfare on his own. Devoting much of his life to combat practice in both mental strategy and upfront combat he has trained himself to be a killing machine when need be.

Pyrotechnics: Deon has the limited ability to burn things with his mind. But because of this ability this also makes it so he himself does not burn nearly as easily as most other vampires would. This does not however make it so he is able to function as well in sunlight. If one were to study the fire he produces they would notice it functions in a different section of the light spectrum from UV lights. Still able to burn, but with out the same effects of the sun. Thus also making his ability more or less useless against other vampires as this ability on its own is not super strong until it catches something that it can burn constantly.

Equipment/Weapons:

Duel sawed-off M14s

Hand Cannon

Duel reinforced swords

Themesong:
Mourning Ritual, Bad Moon Rising.

@Remipa Awesome Very cool character. Being of the Pale Lady's line would give him water-type power usually and maybe some shape changing, so the pyroabiltiy is very odd. Run it by @The Grey Dust

@Wraithblade6

Agreed the pyroability is odd. you'd also be under Bedivere's influence due to the bloodline curse, probably one of his grandchildren.

[Shoe Thief]

@Wraithblade6
Another thing I could do is change the ability. The ability is something I just kinda threw in for the hell of it.

[Kaylan The Lioness]

@Wraithblade6@The Grey Dust The warklaive is a regular sword that.. Contains the spirits of dead Lycans. The wounds it causes to other lycans cannot be healed quickly, it basically creates a wound similar to that which silver would do, but.. More painful and much longer to heal. It's nothing super great

[Wraithblade6]

@Remipa Awesome So, are you ok with switching the pyro ability for something like ice or ... uh, well think of something.

[Shoe Thief]

@The Grey Dust
I think I mentioned this in his character sheet but I don't remember. But I think I mentioned something about him being able to take orders and respecting his officers once he believes them able to lead. The curse would definitely have influence as well though.

[Shoe Thief]

@Remipa Awesome So, are you ok with switching the pyro ability for something like ice or ... uh, well think of something.

@Wraithblade6

Yes I am okay with switching it out. Just debating on what ability, mainly because the bloodline would make sense for it. I just am not sure off the top of my head at the moment.

[BurningCold]

Grey said the character was cool already, but just to run it by you @Wraithblade6

Bedivere's Toadie

Name: James Rodney
Age: Mid 30s
Species: Human
Goals/Faction: Chief of MI6
Personality: James is an aloof and shrewd man, knowing full well that his positions as Bedivere’s ally and chief of MI6 grants him immunity in most situations.
Backstory: James grew up on Bond films, and thus a childish ambition to become a super spy shed away and morphed into a true blue career as the chief of MI6 after years of training and service. Off the record, James had developed quite a reputation for removing threats to the position he was working so hard to get to through any means necessary. After both the previous chief, and all of James’ competitors wound up dead or missing in one way or another, James was the only clear choice. Suspicion circled the man like a swarm of flies to a corpse, and those bold enough to voice their worries soon found themselves in bodybags. The remaining operatives quickly began to agree upon their new chief’s innocence. He now serves as Bedivere’s right hand man, using his position to further the vampire’s goals. The only thing that James asks in return is a place near the vampire at the top of the heap.
Powers/Skills: James has incredible influence and manpower at his back. He is also trained in close quarters combat with handguns and fisticuffs.
Equipment/Weapons: When his highly trained bodyguards fail, James possesses an L9A1 loaded with silver bullets that seems to put an end to most problematic debates.

@Kaylan The Lioness

[Wraithblade6]

@BurningCold Alright I like him. Approved.

[The Grey Dust]

Just PSA I'll be on business travel this week, probably returning Friday or Saturday morning So my posts will be limited.

OVERWORKED.

[Wraithblade6]

Thanks for the heads up Grey.

Geeze. With all these characters, there's going to be so much action that I think I'm going to get behind.

Feel free to make an intro or engage in a new scene if you like.

Uhh.. Don't read the backstory if you're a prude, bigot, or any combination of the two.

Decided not to do a Hybrid

Name: Cupid Abatangelo
Age: Turned at age 23 during the height of Rome’s power
Species: Vampire
Goals/Faction: Cupid wants to build a great army of vampires to invade Italy and reclaim the glory of Rome.
Backstory:
Cupid was born and raised in the city of Rome during the Pax Romana. Working as a street vendor, he’d always use his outstandingly attractive looks and silver tongue to convince people to purchase from him. Both men and women alike seeked his affections, but Cupid turned each and every one down. One day however he came to spy the most beautiful man he had ever seen. Cupid became obsessed with this mysterious and wonderful man, and pined over him constantly. At long last his desires were granted and the man took him into his home. It was there that Cupid experienced intercourse for the first time, and was turned. Master took Cupid as his lover, and together they prowled the streets at night for blood and rape.
After a time they moved out of the city and into the countryside, preying on travelling passerby. It was during this time that Master taught Cupid the mighty powers of his unique bloodline. Things drifted into a lull after that day, and the routine of lovemaking and lifetaking in their new home finally settled in. Then the Hun arrived.
Atilla and his followers swept across the countryside like a scourge, laying waste to all in their path. When he reached the home of Cupid and his Master, they were merciless. The last time Cupid ever saw his Master alive was when the latter ordered the former to hide down in the cellar. Cupid saw the fear in his eyes then, and still remembers it now. When the scourge had ended, Rome was in shambles. It was only a matter of time before the country fell to the infighting and strife that was now poisoning it like a virus. Cupid took his leave that day, and never has he returned.
Centuries passed, and Cupid eventually found his way to America after ages of travel, becoming the proprietor of an ever popular New York strip club, the “Cupid’s Kiss”.
Powers/Skills: As an Abatangeloan, Cupid can manipulate the minds of most creatures not possessing a strong will and turn them into thralls. Even those strong enough to resist direct control cannot help but to feel inclined to agree with or be more polite to him. He is also considered to be an excellent swordsman. While neither the sun nor items of holy descendance bear any effect upon him, Cupid’s powers begin to rapidly fail after more than a day or two without consuming fresh human blood. After a week without nourishment he is barely stronger than the average human.
Equipment/Weapons: A stylish gold topped cane holding a silver sword within

Cane

@BurningCold I like it.

[BurningCold]

@Wraithblade6 You should see the original app and WIP character art then, they're like two totally different people.

[AtomicNut]

@BurningCold want to join one of the founders of Rome in her quest?

[Wraithblade6]

I should get a reply in tonight.

[Shoe Thief]

@Wraithblade6

Had an idea, what about the ability to implant images in the minds of his foes. Depending on the strength of the mind of the person he is influencing they may not be able to tell the different between their own memories and the images implanted into their heads. Another thing is they would be limited to what Deon has seen in person. So in basics he can plant his own memories into the heads of others.

[BurningCold]

@AtomicNut Well Cupid wants to Italy to become populated by only vampires with like, human cattle and stuff in prisons. And then anyone looking for excitement can leave the safety of the borders for a real hunt. So I guess they could help each other.

[Shoe Thief]

Thanks for the heads up Grey.

@Wraithblade6

Time for super posting then! Making 3 post worth of post in a single post running off coffee, sugar, and what ever else for the hell of it just to help keep up. I do that every once and while when I am worried about post counts. Or if I have a lot to say and I want to get it out before I forget it....
