Into the Harsh Light of Day

Name: Bernard Alexander

Species: Purebred Vampire

Age: 479

Appearance: Bernard appears to be a tall (6’1”), well-built man in his early thirties. Raven-black hair that falls around his ears and shoulders frames the typical red eyes of his kind.Coarse but closely trimmed hair covers the lower half of his face, making the visible pale skin around it stand out more. A scar creates a hairless pink line from above his right eye, across the bridge of his nose, and down to his jawline. The remainder of his features are sharp and reminiscent of predatory beasts.

Preferring understated styles, Bernard usually wears dark t-shirts and similarly colored jeans. He generally wears hiking boots, as well as a black duster-style leather coat.

Personality: Often described as ‘a bear of a man,’ Bernard makes no attempt to act otherwise. His gruff demeanor tends to get most humans to leave him alone, which is what he wants. When passionate or pissed, he tends to lose sight of caution and react violently and without hesitation. Aside from that, he is level-headed and dependable, and his outbursts are tempered from centuries of survival. Thick skin and the obstinance of a bull makes him hard to manipulate unless you push the right buttons.

Equipment: Bernard prefers to rely on his own two hands in a fight, but does carry more than that. An inside pocket of his duster carries a Taurus 4510PD-3SS Revolver. His coat pockets also typically include the usual fare of wallet and (forged) identification.

Background: Though both of Bernard's parents were vampires, he has no recollection of his mother. She would have died during labour because of complications during the birth, but his father, Gerald, did not allow this. Before Bernard was even completely in the world, his mother was drained of her lifeblood.

His upbringing after that was harsh and centered on survival and little else. Bernard’s father was cruel, uncaring about his progeny except that he not reveal them and not get in his way. Blood stained the path they walked, and no survivors stirred in their wake. Eventually, this caused the younger vampire to turn his back on his sire and look for a better way. Turning to the then recently formed Society, he sought a new family.

The rules of the Society became Bernard’s way of life, and its members his family, distant and different as they were. Free of the violent influence, he turned his attention to higher minded distractions of fine art and literature for a time, withdrawing almost completely from the world as a whole. He maintained contact with the Society and those members that were near him, but was rarely seen among humans except to feed.

Even with the companionship of the Society when compared to that of his father, Bernard grew lonely over the years. Recently, in his hunger and despair, he turned a young woman who caught his eye and revealed to her the truth of her new life. For reasons unknown even to him, he has chosen not to reveal his identity to her yet.

Extra: Bernard is the vampire who turned Maxine, and is rather protective of her. Any violence directed toward her by hunters or other vampires is met in kind, though out of view of the public.

I'll try to have my CS up before I go to work tonight.

Orphanage for Supernatural

@KatherinWinter I was here when that crash happened. A lot has changed since then, and for the better.

The Wanting World – A Fantasy RP

Sorry guys, I think I'm going to drop this one. For some reason it just keeps getting harder to feel like writing for. Best of luck and see you around.

@c3p-0h Feel free to have Morgan dragged off tthe invisible bridge or suffer some equally horrible fate.

Who will tempt Fate?

New plot (kind of) in second post, looking for at least one person for it. A little too busy to do anything more beyond that.

RWBY: The Last Dawn

Okay, I just wanted to make sure I wasn't stepping on any toes. Thanks for explaining :)

RWBY: The Last Dawn

@Akayaofthemoon But if you (or anyone else) hasn't officially sent one flying like that, then it really doesn't belong there.

Thomas smiles, crunching away at his apple, while Leo and Leon discuss their powers. Over the years he had found that the simplest way to explain his power was to just touch the person he was trying to explain it to. It was by no means the best way, as it could have myriad results. Most 'normals' feared or were disgusted by him after such a contact, and would avoid him at all costs. Particularly weak-willed individuals would find their emotions slave to his own during and for a time after his touch. Those around him need not fear that happening to them, as Thomas had spent years with the caretaker honing his skill and practicing control over his volatile 'gift.'

After finishing his apple, Thomas sits back to wait patiently for Katherin to finish as well.
