[hider=Victor Guttman] [i]Name:[/i] Victor Guttman [i]Race:[/i] Vampire [hider=Appearance] Victor is a pale man, his skin a pallid and almost grey color, his hair is as pale as his face, long and often apparently unkempt his hair seems to have an almost beast like allure, not unlike his face. The man has a... suave and swarthy air about him, mysterious and darkly charming Guttman appears to be in his mid twenties to thirties, and his face often carries a smirk or a haughty look of superiority. His body is well built, not stocky but stong, and not thin but graceful his arms and legs radiate a strange physical prowess, almost unnatural. His broad shoulders attest to his strength and his long limbs his speed. He is never without his heavy armour, a set of artfully crafted fluted full plate colored a dark rust red. The articulate piece of armour is heavy, and carved for the maximum deflection of blows. He wears a great helm helmet, topped with the terrifying metal wings of a bat. Normally, such armour would heavily slow its wearer down, but Guttman has an unholy strength and speed, able to move in the armour the way another man could only move in far lighter armour. He has a dark black cape, that appears tattered and aged, much shorter than it once may have been, though he will sometimes remove it when in combat. His vampiric abilities give him beauty, grace, speed and strength,,, but do come at a cost. The longer he goes without blood the more he will appear... bestial. As time wears on Guttman will begin to slouch, growl and focus more and more on killing... until he becomes little more than a beast seeking lifeblood. The longer he goes the weaker he will become, and the more blood he will need to return to his full strength. [/hider] [i]Inventory:[/i] Fluted Plate Mail, longsword, Black cape, shield, lance [i]Special abilities:[/i] [i]Vampiro majoris-[/i] Victor Guttman is a vampire, and carries the enhanced physical abilities that brings. He is far stronger and faster than a mortal man, and does not age. In addition, being undead means he can shrug off far more damage than any other mortal... but all this power comes at a steep price. In addition to his need for blood their are several methods that will quickly kill him outright as well as objects, materials and substances that weaken or can even disable him. [i]Personality:[/i] Although he appears suave and sophisticated, Victor Guttman is anything but. Though intelligent enough to know he must hide his true nature, and more than able to effectively lie about what he is he hardly cares what others think of him. He enjoys combat with a passion, and little delites him more than cutting up a worthy foe. Though civil enough with allies, and even kind or rather accomodating with allies he gives off an unsettling air... and the cruelty hidden in his eyes comes out when he becomes embroiled in combat, laughing and howling as he fights in a terrifyingly bestial display. Though he puts an a thin air of civility and comraderie, he is cruel, hateful, angry, bestial and completely entranced by his own wishes and desires... above all he is selfish and greedy. [i]History:[/i] Victor Guttman was changed into a Vampire... well it was quite a long timme ago when he was given the gift of the blood kiss. So long ago in fact he does not remember his life as a human, past that he was once a mercenary knight of some sort. His old life hardly mattered, for this new unholy life granted him more than he ever could have gained as a mortal. For untold years he fought across the lands, seilling his unholy strength and skill to the highest bidder. He won many battles, wielding lance and sword atop his skeletal steed... until he was struck down. In the muck of some battle on some gods forsaken mire he was struck down by a myriad of blades and implements and sank... beeath the peat and stench until the light of the world was gone to him... and then he awoke, deep within the bowels of... somewhere, his arms and armour about him... time to forge a new way. [i]Other:[/i] Victor has attained such skill with the lance he is able to wield the weapon unmounted in spite of its length and weight.
