His light skin isn't such a big deal, but his eyes are clearly an unnatural shade. Thus, he has led his vampire life wearing hats and hoods and keeping to dim light, in which most human retinas fail to properly discern color. Usually, his long hair is down and he wears a suit in the office. His face is even and seemingly fixed in a "resting bitch" expression. He looks fairly athletic under that suit. 'claims he used to be a midevil knight. Personality: Mithias was around long enough before a hellhole opened up beneath Baylor, and he doesn't want to see the activities of demons and the like giving his kind a bad name. As far as vampires go, he's friendly toward humans, assuming they don't initially flee in terror, but he has become completely comfortable with feeding on them, even killing them. He's always tried to incorporate some morality in his choices, ie. not feeding on the meek and innocent, but he will not stake his survival. In modern times, there's little reason for him not to drink donated blood, and so he prefers that. He is generally quite, surprised by very little, enjoys nature and for some reason playing the violin. Mithias had stuck around for many generations after his making in order to protect and oversee his own family's descendants. When that family grew too big to follow, he walked away and became more interested in finding others of his kind and promoting justice from the shadows. The Syndicate helps him do that. Background: Mithias has never gone into great detail about his origins. Suffice it to say he was a warrior, religious, and from Old World Germany. He doesn't have any great vampire contacts, but he did once travel through Alaskan werewolf territory during an extreme depression phase and was nearly killed. ...Better not ask him about that time. Mithias is involved with the Syndicate as both an agent and a tactical officer. Usually, he analyses the information gathered by the other agents and stays out of the field during the daylight, but if the situation calls for it, he can personally stalk a target, act as a spy, or attempt a high-risk assassination requiring his vampiric advantages. Weapon(s): Seeing as how small guns won't stop a vampire, or werewolf, or demon, or what have you, Mithias prefers to carry two modern, high tech composite swords at his sides when he is on dangerous missions. Severing a limb and bloodloss are so much more effective if a confrontation cannot be avoided. Along this same vein, he has three, named daggers designed with barbed edges and rivets to promote bleeding. Heartseeker, Blooddrinker, and Soulstealer will quickly wear down stronger enemies. Mithias can shoot, but even for a vampire, he doesn't have the best aim. He is quite proficient with a simple leather whip. Regardless, Mithias prefers a safe, tactical approach and would rather setup tripwires and explosives, or traps involving electric shock, flash grenades, or something for his target to inadvertently walk into. He gained a lot of this training and knowledge while working for the Syndicate. Skills: Melee combat: Specifically Mithias is proficient at his dual blades. He's had enough time to hone his own artform, fusing his supernatural senses and reflexes into a unique style that can strike in multiple directions at once. He need not even turn his head to attack behind him as he can already sense the vibrations and hear the air being sliced around him. He is a whirlwind of blades, a blender of death and blood to any attacker that dares approach. On the other hand, he's not so good with hand to hand or grappling, except for what advantage his enhanced strength can give him. Even with his blood-letting daggers, he's quite reliant on the sword. Warfare tactics: There are some adversaries that are simply too dangerous or too armored to take head on, and so tricks and traps must be employed. Mithias has studied explosives and some degree of chemical warfare. He more often intends to setup an opponent into walking into something that will either trap or kill them. He understands enough of non-humans to anticipate and counter their most often used methods of attack. He can lay traps or council his team on how to do so. Leadership: Experience himself in the field has given Mithias the understanding necessary to remotely lead other operatives via communicator. When a team goes out, he tells them where to go and when to move and coordinates their individual actions. Stealth: Mithias can follow someone and spy on them without getting too close. His senses always tell him when someone is coming and he can "vanish" in a burst of speed when necessary. He can hold perfectly still, even under duress, if it means avoiding being seen. Power(s): Typical vampire stuff: Heighted senses such as hearing, sight, temperature, air pressure, etc. And Enhanced strength and speed. Mithias could definitely flip a car, but picking it up and throwing it would be too difficult. Hence, he could jump longer distances, not take as much damage from falling, run unnaturally fast, and dodge really well. I'm not going to have him able to dodge bullets, unless he's lucky and knows it's coming from a far enough distance away to move in time. Close range, he's fucked. His strength is much less than a werewolf's, but on par with most young vampires. Strength is not his forte. Mind Ward: Immune to any and all mental manipulation (magic). What this means is no other psychic or vampire or telepath or demon, etc. can influence his thoughts, emotions, memories, or even speak to him telepathically. Nor can they read his mind. This is the primary gift of Mithias' bloodline and is as far as we know, unique to him alone as a vampire. Pyrokinesis: Low level ability, like putting out candles and starting small fires in fairly close range. With effort, he could bend flames and heat away from himself to escape a burning building, but he can't stop explosions. He can melt computers. Fast Healing: Mithias can survive even severe wounds as long as they don't obliterate his body or crush his skull. If he gets impaled through the heart, he'll be unconscious, which is just as good as dead, basically, until that object is removed and the damage healed. His healing is also limited by how much blood he has consumed lately. He can only heal if he has the blood for it. [/hider]
