Biography: Jordan Prentice was born in the early 20th century in a quiet suburb of Los Angeles. His mother was a housewife which took care of Jordan. His father was a sailor enlisted into the US Navy. Jordan grew up as an only child. Spoiled, his first disappointment was when his father left as the First World War broke out. Jordan cried for days. He had many friends growing up, as far as he could remember. Jordan was much more sociable as a child than he was as an adult. It seemed that the older he got, the more solitary he became.
In his twenties, the second world war broke out. Not wanting to be in the war like his father, Jordan dodged the draft by excusing himself with a college education. His major was music- something which seemed simple enough to him at first glance. It was in college where he learned the fundamentals of music. It was also in college where he became a vampire. The one who embraced him was a woman who had been in the body of a twelve-year-old girl for over two hundred years. Her childer was once a Scottsman who escaped to the Americas after his clan saw persecution in his homeland. She was turned after her vampire parent saw a little girl dying of the bubonic plague. The vampire, unable to catch the disease, embraced the girl to save her from sickness.
His parent was an 10th generation vampire, thus making Jordan Prentice the 11th in line to have received the embrace. It was unknown why Jordan was embraced himself. The woman who embraced him had helped him for his first five years. The two developed a strange romance, the woman helping Jordan integrate himself into vampire society. He was soon introduced to vampire politics. While he was immersed in the life of a vampire, he had gone missing for years as a human. Society had simply declared him dead, his mother having a grave stone for him right next to his father. Jordan still visits those grave markers.
As time went by, Jordan slipped further and further into seclusion, until suddenly, a call came. Jordan was given a letter, tasked to kill a man for a sum of money. In his unlife, Jordan had no need for such earthly compensation, and yet he commenced with the job. The man was slain, his body drained of blood, and then his body disposed of. When he met his new boss, it was another vampire. He too was 11th generation but older than Jordan. His mission was made clear when Jordan was given his next target- another vampire. This time, much thinner in blood, and Jordan himself could sense it. His targets were thin-blooded vampires, those of 19th and 20th generation. Simply put, his job was to "delay the apocalypse", removing the amount of thinblooded vampires. Jordan became known in the vampire community as an infamous kinslayer. He adopted a new facade- the Heavy Metal Man Hunter.
It seemed that Jordan actually had some kind of talent for it. These talents did not go unnoticed, however. An inter-dimensional traveler took notice. Jordan was then tasked to hunt targets not from the same universe and given the proper tools to do so.
Note - Gangrel: Jordan's vampire clan. Thought to have originated in medieval England, the Gangrel are a group of vampires who have gained a stronger affinity to their beast aspect as opposed to other vampires who choose to suppress it. In Jordan's universe, most vampires may only change into their bat forms while the moon is out. Gangrel have better control of their beast form, allowing them to change between it and their human form whenever they please, and may change into a form between beast and man.
Note - Sunlight: A common practice among vampire parents and children is to test resistance to sunlight. Those with thinner blood generally last longer as opposed to those with thicker blood. Jordan, an 11th generation vampire, is capable of lasting ten minutes as opposed to his parent who could last only six. While burning, the vampire very realistically catches on fire, allowing them to burn other things in the area. The vampire then becomes a pile of ashes covering a shriveled corpse. In order to reverse the process, the body must receive blood from their own body prior to vampirization no more than 4 hours after death but no less than two. The vampire must then feed within the next 24 hours. If a vampire does not receive blood within this time frame, they die their final death.
Equipment:
Mask of the Moon: A silver thespian mask with the mouth cut off, the bottom shaped into fangs. The mask is enchanted to be extremely durable, capable to stand 6 shots of 9mm before breaking. The mask protects the wearer from the sun, and as long as the mask remains on the wearer's face, he does not burn in direct sunlight. The mask also suppresses the inner beast within Jordan, allowing him to stay more controlled and think more clearly.
Kodokuna Kazuko: A pair of reverse bladed katanas which Jordan reverse wields. They are made with a black steel forged with the blood of a 5th generation vampire within the blades. While in the absence of sunlight, Kodokuna Kazuko automatically protects its wielder, the blades going to the place of any threats and meeting them with the cutting edge. The blades themselves seem nigh unbreakable, folded over a thousand times. They are held on each side of his hip by a leather strap connecting them to the belt of his trench coat. The sheathes are fashioned from wood and covered in black leather.
Rain Shadow: A Deagle brand Eagle with the metal colored to a dark blue and fashioned with a pattern similar to the groove on Kazuko's blades. Its magazine well is modified for 6 rounds of .44 magnum. It is otherwise mundane. There is a leather strap which goes over Jordan's right shoulder with the holster of the pistol on Jordan's torso.
Shroud of Darkness: Made from black silk with the ashes of vampires that died in the sunlight sewn in, the Shroud of Darkness is a macabre reminder of Jordan's very real mortality. The shroud takes the form of a long black trench coat which Jordan wears unzipped. The shroud has properties which allow it to nullify damage. A blade or bullet which meets the coat simply slide off. The shroud also allows Jordan to become invisible as long as he is not within direct sunlight.
Vial: A small vial containing 10 ml of Jordan's own blood from before he became a vampire. Enchanted with vampire magic, the blood does not spoil and the vial does not break so long as Jordan remains alive and conscious. The vial is a last ditch should he actually die from either sunlight of crucifiction, the vial would break on its own rejuvenating Jordan.
Abilities:
Vampirism: A strange mutation which his vampire parent adapted was the ability to absorb blood from any part of the body- including hair and nails. This has no apparent adverse affects on absorption, and is the reason why Jordan keeps his hair long. By draining a body nearly to the brink of death, and then giving the body a bit of his own blood, Jordan can "embrace" a mortal and turn them into a vampire. Jordan ust drink blood every 48 hours, otherwise the Mask of Moon fails to work, and he enters his beast form involuntarily. The beast then seeks the highest point it could find and waits for sunlight to kill it. Crucifiction and sunlight are surefire ways to ensure Jordan's final death, however, dealing enough damage to kill a human would put Jordan in a comatose state for three days.
Arachnophobia: When Jordan has an excess of blood in his system, he is capable of using said blood to create a mass of spiders equal in biomass to the amount of blood he chose to expend. Jordan has complete control over these spiders. The spiders can explore and seek blood for Jordan, draining about twice their size in blood before reaching full capacity. These spiders also burn in direct sunlight, however, as long as Jordan wears the Mask of Moon, they are safe.
Ferrophobia: Jordan can manipulate the blood of a freshly drained victim in order to create a thin armor around him which can repel force up to that of a cannonball and protects from magic in one hit. He needs at least 500 ml of blood in order to create one layer of armor.
Trypophobia: Jordan is capable of manipulating blood into a ball of energy which he can fire at a target. When it hits its mark (or misses and hits something else) the ball creates a series of uneven holes. The ball itself has about the force of a 9mm bullet fired from an M9 and are not much bigger but are definitely rounder.
Beast Form: Jordan's inner beast is a bat, as have his vampire ancestors. He can at will, transform into a bat. His full beast form, however, is more humanoid. It is bald with pointed ears, tufts of hair coming out from the back. His entire mouth becomes fangs and his arms expand, growing a webbing between his arms and his torso which allow him flight. A pair of ebony horns grow from the back of Jordan's skull forming a crown as they reach to the front of his head. His skin changes from a pale-blue to a deep, leathery gray.
