Name: Niklaus (Nik) Roman Krishkov
Age (100-500):500
Number child is in line: First (Heir to the throne!)
Sexuality : Gay
Personality: Nik is very level headed and responsible because he has to be. It's what is expected so,  it's done. Nik never had a rebellious phase because he was helping raising his siblings and he kind of missed out.
Bio: Niklaus is destined to rule the kingdom when he mates. The thing is Nik has not interest in ruling. He wants nothing more than to have Dashiell back as a brother and have him rule. He blames his father for Dashiell and him having to rule. Niklaus is pretty blind when it comes to his twin and it's his greatest fault and weakness.
Likes: Men,  Punk music,  Medeviel art, anything old English, O-
Dislikes: The smell of sage,  People micromanaging his life,  His father

Name: Dashiell Duvalt Krishkov
Age (100-500):500
Sexuality :Straight
Personality: Sociopathic,  Sneaky, Maniacal
Bio: Dashiell is the twin of Niklaus and the true heir to the throne but due to his criminal pasts, he was locked up in the left wing tower for the rest of his life.

Dashiell has been locked up since he was fourteen and only his parents and Niklaus know he exists.  Dashiell committed many crimes including theft but his biggest crime was killing his own kind, members of the Royal Court. He never had a reason, he just did it. He was able to fake real emotion but never truly felt it. Niklaus thinks he can change him though and has been trying for almost 500 years. Dashiell is Nik's greatest  weakness and he knows it.

Name: Caspen Napoleon Krishkov
Age (100-500): 401
Number child is in line:5
Sexuality : Straight
Personality: Wild,  Bubbly,  Narcissistic, Cunning but he also has walls up to protect his heart.
Bio: Caspen is the wild child of the bunch.  Always getting into trouble or seducing some cute vampire. He grew up knowing that all he had to do to be in dear old dads good graces was to promise to find a mate. So,  he acts like cares. Once upon a time, he actually did care. Her name was Emily. He was around 196 when he met Emily in a crowded street in Venice. She was a beautiful young human being and no one made him feel like he belonged more than her. They were together for 3 years and she knew all of his secrets, who he was, his insecurities about his family. Everything. They had already planned to turn her to spend for rest of their life together before she was killed my lowlife bandits. Casper has been a shell of a man since. Today, he is all sarcasm and a narcissist with no show of real emotions. Alice is the only one who really gets him and knows the true Caspen. He is as damaged as the next sibling but 3 years with someone is a hiccup to his other siblings but those three years was when he was happy. He was a wild child before those three years and he is even more unruly now. He tortures humans and servants and doesn't obey many rules.

Likes: Fun,  No boundaries, Alice, Women, Drinking,
Dislikes: structure, humans, servants, Venice or anything Italian

Extra:

Name: Tarquin "Quin" Elias Krishkov
Age (100-500): 138
Number child is in line: 11th
Sexuality : Gay
Personality: Tarquin is the little firecracker of the group. He is sassy, spunky, and always speaks his mind. He's a fiery red head that's for sure. He is quite the mess if you don't handle him properly and God help who doesn't.
Bio: Tarquin grew up being as sassy as one of the youngest should be. He isn't very entitled but he knows his siblings acknowledge him because of the impression he makes and that's how he wants it. Quin never really had an emotional attachment to anyone besides his family until Magnus came into his life. There was something about his experience that intrigued Quin and they became quick friends. Of course, Quin isn't ready to admit he is in love with his guardian yet.
Likes: Music, Fruity drinks, Dancing, Art, Parties, Animals, Teasing Magnus
Dislikes: Beer, Green tea, B+ blood, Doubt
Extra: Quin is not Duvalt's child but even though obvious, no one mentions it.

Name: Alice Krishkov
Age (100-500): 390
Number child is in line: 6
Sexuality: Bi
Personality: Haughty and self-centered Alice likes to look down on anyone that’s weaker or plain. She holds some respect for her older siblings but pays little to no attention to the younger ones. However, if it’s found out that any of her family members are being picked on, she won’t hesitate to come to their defense in order to protect the Krishkov name. Because of her past she hates it when others bring it up and goes as far as violence for others to never know about it. She goes into a depressed state if she's reminded of it. If she is experiencing any of her severe symptoms she'll usually hide herself away until it's over.
Bio: Alice wasn’t always a self-centered vixen. But her past was full of "humiliation and weakness" is what she would describe it. Only some of the royal family and servants know of it. This includes the King, Queen, and older siblings. Alice was born very prematurely and came out diagnosed with patent ductus arteriosus(heart defect) making her ill and weak. For the first 15 years of her life she looked like a walking skeleton, and depended on medical attention constantly. She was on the verge of death several times up until the age of 15 – when the aging slowed down. Most of the severe symptoms calmed down and Alice only now experiences easy tiring and under extreme circumstances – respiratory distress & heart attacks. She takes daily meds and vitamins to help. But Alice, who hated herself then for being so weak and “pathetic” vowed to become stronger and more independent. She focused on her image and reputation, while working hard to insure no one else knows of her condition in fear that it will make others see her as weak. She likes going off and doing her own thing using her looks and charms as her weapon. Seducing men and women just for the attention and thrill it gives her only in the end not committing to anything. Usually having a lover or 2 over for the night. She usually doesn't get into much trouble on the account that she holds dignity towards herself and her family.
Likes: Attention, being loved, herself, picking on weak people, playing the piano, shopping, spending money, Caspen, lovers
Dislikes: Commitment, feeling weak, being embarrassed, being humiliated, dirty things (wild animals, dirty people, etc.), being scolded, being rejected, her past, her pills
Extra: She has so much clothing that there is a separate room just for her outfits. Also uses the room for her piano and small hangouts.

Appearance :


Name: Sarah Bach
Age (any): 120
Rank amongst royal family: Alice’s personal servant
Sexuality : Straight
Personality: Sarah while working is mostly timid and quiet, she keeps to herself in order to not piss off Alice or stir any trouble. But when she’s “free” she’s outgoing and friendly. She doesn’t mind helping out people when they need it and caring to the other members of the royal family.
Bio: When Sarah was human, she lived barely surviving out of poverty and eventually turning to the life of prostitution just to get by. It wasn’t until one client got violent with her and left her for dead in an alleyway. Luckily (now to be argued as unfortunately) Alice, the 6th born of the royal family finds her and offers a chance of a lifetime: To be turned into a vampire and serve the “Krishkov family” for eternity. Without much of a choice Sarah reluctantly agrees. But death for Sarah may have been the better choice. Alice turned Sarah into her own personal servant, forced to clean after Alice’s messes and cover for her. When she’s not being abused by Alice or Caspen, she often sneaks away to talk to other servants, family members, read her books, or figuring out a way to subtly get back at Alice.
Likes: Reading, friends, cake, Alice’s dismay, art
Dislikes: Alice, Caspen stuck up people, coffee, alcohol

Appearance :
Name: Magnus Steelpaw
Age (any): 750(roughly)
Rank amongst royal family: Captain of the Guard/General
Sexuality : Gay, most assume he's straight as he never shows interest in finding love, as he claims to be too busy for such things. His cousin, Gunnar knows though.
Personality: Magnus has a rather brash personality, speaking his mind no matter who he talks to. He is very loyal and honest. He cares deeply for those he calls friend. In battle, Magnus is a berserker, entering a bloodrage when the ones close to him are in danger. He is also a very good tactician and knows many languages. Magnus is actually very lonely, his usual company being his warhounds. He does his best to not look for love, having lost the man he loved most before he was turned. As a lover, Magnus is domineering, generally demanding his lover to be near him whenever possible to keep them safe in and out of the battlefield.

Bio: Magus grew up during the Viking era. He was known for his immense strength and size, towering over 7’ tall and able to carry a massive warhammer. He earned the title Steelpaw after his favorite method of fighting, brawls. Magnus became a vampire after his raiders burned a vampire den and their leader sought revenge, leaving Magnus with what he called his “curse” of being separated from his lover in death. For Magnus, it was the start of his journey into becoming a living legend among warriors… Until he met Duvaltthe battlefield. After his defeat Magnus swore fealty to him and followed him into battle with eager anticipation.
Likes: Strong ale, a good brawl, his giant warhammer Earthshaker, terrifying his enemies, the Norse Gods(Often swears by Odin), O- blood, dogs, and that one noble who likes teasing him....
Dislikes: Politics, beer, those who abuse their power, soldiers who don't follow orders.
Extra: Magnus is one the best cooks around, having memorized hundreds of recipes. He has two pet Mastiffs mutts named Fang and Storm. Fang is nibbler and Storm likes running out into the rain.

Appearance:

Ht: 6’7
There is a scar on his stomach and back where a sword pierced him. And a scar on his chest next to his heart.

Name: Gunnar High-Water

Age (any): 760+ roughly

Rank amongst royal family: General

Sexuality: Straight

Personality: Gunnar is a proud man, having come from a family of Vikings with his cousin Magnus he holds pride in his heritage and strength as a warrior. Gunnar is a brilliant tactician and holds his loved ones close to his heart.

Bio: Gunnar is the youngest son of a jarl in the years around the Battle of Hastings. His exact year is unknown to him as it was never recorded as he wasn't in line for the title of Jarl. Gunnar often wandered and when he saw his cousin's raiding band under attack he charged in to help, alone. He failed to get there in time and witnessed his cousin gain Vampirism. He helped him by faking Magnus’ death and helping feed him. When a raid went terribly wrong Magnus turned him to save his life. Magnus then brought him along and they eventually met with Duvalt and joined him.

Likes: Training, Women, tea, sailing, fighting of all kinds, chess.

Dislikes: Unethical means of killing and torture, disloyalty, people with no honor.

Extra: Gunnar has collected and trained with nearly every weapon from the Viking age and on.

Appearance :

Name: Duvalt Krishkov

Age: 2000+

Personality: Duvalt is a solemn man, valuing strength in all of those around him. His motto is "Honor, Courage, and Heart." The same as the words under the banner above his throne.

Bio: Duvalt is an old vampire. War, death and misery are all things he's seen in his long life. He values his family, which is probably his only weakness. He loves all of his children, and his wife as much as they. It was a pain for him when he had to imprison his own son... But he's never stopped loving him.

What he hides from them... Is a monster. Through the years before he met his wife, he earned a reputation as the fiercest vampire to be known, only following after the old Count himself... His strength is that of a bear with the ferocity of a tornado. He keeps it well contained. However, if one tries to harm his family he will bear down upon them his unholy wrath.

Duvalt met his current Generals during the Great Northern War. He picked the pair as they offered their allegiance as Magnus tired of fighting in human wars. The pair are part of his main advisors. He values strength in his army, and discipline. Outside of this he has several businesses and keeps the vault filled.

Likes: Alcohol, sparring, his wife, swords (you'll find them in nearly every type in the hallways and in his study), modern day weaponry (Damn... humans find even more ways to be monsters than vampires...), and Hollywood.

Dislikes: Disloyalty, A+ blood, unnecessary savergy.

Extra: Duvalt is a collector. He has a massive collection of alchohol that he likes, adding and changing it throughout the centuries.

Name: Magdalene Iederă Krishkov

Appearance: She has light caramel brown eyes. Her hair is dark chocolaty brown and is naturally wavy. She is on the petite side. Like all pure vampires, she is beautiful and fit with poreless pale skin. Maggie is about 5"3' in height.

Age: 438

Line of Succession: Third

Sexuality: Heterosexual

Personality: As a child, and during the first century of her life, she was the epitome of warmth and sweet sunshine. She was the gentle and captivating one in the family. The girl who could brighten up a room with her smile, and make everyone around her feel light. But of course the decades passed, people changed, the times changed, and life brought its many hardships, sorrows, and challenges. Now almost 440 years old, she is a different person. Magdalene is stubborn, blunt, and artful. She tends to be old-fashioned like many other vampires, but she still knows how to embrace the new times. She has always been the motherly type, especially with 10 younger siblings. Maggie is extremely loyal to her family, and in most cases puts them before herself. She likes to portray herself as very charming, provocative, and a tad apathetic, but that is not the true her. She is ruthless when it come to protecting people she loves. It is best not to wrong her, she is a master at vengeance, and is very patient, and calculating. The final blow is always brutal. In all truth she is a brilliant sweet and extraordinary soul, that has hardened do to the conditions of the people and world around her.

Bio: Having lived for 438 years there really is to much to tell. She is the third in line for the throne. As a child she always wondered why the left wing tower of the castle was off limits, and who the figure in the tower window was. When she was about twelve years old her curiosity got the best of her and she went to check it out. She was caught by Niklaus moments before she found out the family secret. Being caught the first time didn't stop her from trying a second, third, or fourth time. At some point she got it into her head that it was a lonely ghost, and she started leaving origami critters, dried flowers, and friendly notes next to the locked tower doors. Anytime she spotted the figure in the tower window she would smile and wave. But alas she would never know the truth. Her interest about the tower waned as more of her younger sibling came into the world, and she grew older. She still to this day always acknowledges the silhouette in the tower window.

She was 220 when she met a lower noble vampire named Alastair, who swept her off her feet, and she was sure they were meant to be. Unfortunately a short five years later he was murdered by persons unknown, and that was when Maggie swore to find the culprit and make them suffer. She also decided to wait for Niklaus to find his mate before she started looking for her own, but lately her thoughts on the matter have changed. The search for the murderer of her dear Alastair has gone no where these past centuries, and though it may seem she has moved on, the thirst for revenge is still wedged deep in her heart.

Boredom is something she started struggling with once she turned 300. She had mastered languages, instruments, composed three symphonies, wrote over a hundred novels, painted everyone and everything around her. She saw how her parents who were older then most vampires, spent there time. Drinking and having affairs did not seem appealing. So traveling on her own seemed like something to do. Between the ages 330 and 400 she lived on her own. Traveling the world, and staying with distant relations around the globe. Maggie spent most of the 1920s in New York City, playing as a human socialite by the name of Ivy Montgomery. Playing as a human only quelled the boredom for a few decades.

Unfortunately as every decade passes the more she comes to dislikes humans. When she was young she always thought and treated humans as her equal, but now she holds little regard for them other then being a meal. It's hard to have feelings for such a destructive race, that live for a very short time.

Extra: She can speak, read, and write fluently in German, English, Welsh, Hebrew, French, Dutch, Latin, Greek, Portuguese, Russian, Italian, Ukrainian, Irish, Arabic, Romanian, and Spanish. She is working on learning Chinese at the moment.

Name: Genevieve Krishkov
Age: 1000+

Personality: Genevieve, unlike her husband, has grown more with the times. Despite her actual numerical age, she values her physical youth and believes strongly in enjoying one's time. She loves her family, and loves her children, and would do anything for any of them. She prefers to act the age that she looks these days though. Perhaps a cooling relationship that's gone on just a bit too long has left her seeking attention elsewhere.

Bio: Genevieve met Duvalt when he was already a mature and seasoned vampire. She was changed the ol' fashioned way and took her place at his side. For centuries, they were inseparable and she birthed him many children. Still, some said that even the king wasn't strong enough to confine the outgoing, flirtatious personality that he had married, and that perhaps at time the Queen kept the company of younger, more vibrant men.

Likes: Dancing, music, fashion, attention, feeling young
Dislikes: being reminded of her actual age, silence, loneliness
Extra: The Queen keeps a regular flow of company of humans and young vampires, and often goes out at night. Some say it's to keep her feeling young, others suggest that she's doing more than playing and feeding. However if one were to suggest it in her presence, they would be likely to find themselves no longer living.

Name: Sasha Krishkov
Age (100-500): 127
Number child is in line: 12th
Sexuality : Bisexual
Personality: Sasha seems introverted and coy at times, but she's the youngest and this is mostly a manipulation technique. She's quite vain and can be greedy for attention and affection. She's so far from the line of the thrown, she hardly cares whether she looks royal or not and is more than willing to whine or fuss until her parents and siblings give in to her demands.

Bio: Sasha is still young and vibrant. She still ages physically, and there's much to be said about one's connection to humanity as long as they continue to change with time. As such, she has a particular affinity for humans that seems to go beyond that of her siblings. She enjoys their warmth and their willingness to dote on her. Still, she can be highly immature and has been through many "boyfriends", some without the happiest of endings. Instead of real relationships, Sasha seems to find her pick of the week and fall in love with the attention they give her. When it wears off, she moves on. She blames the lack of attention from her parents and siblings. Maybe if they were better to her, she'd care more to be around them.

Likes: Fast paced anything (rollercoasters, zip lining, speed boats, plane rides, etc), money, attention, parties, travel, swimming
Dislikes: being told she's immature, being corrected, being ignored, old or ugly people
Extra: Sasha finds water calming and has been oddly drawn to it. Many of the friends she makes have water based hobbies which further feeds this obsession with elongated sailing trips, scuba diving, or other water activities.

Name: Johnathan Hartley
Age (13-40): 23
Sexuality : Asexual/Unsure
Where they reside: In the left wing tower

Personality: Johnathan is quiet mostly. He has a warm heart and a sense of humor, but it's obvious he doesn't get out much. His reserved nature makes him more vulnerable to embarrassment and anxiety.

Bio: Johnathan came to work for the Krishkov's when he was 16. At first he did odds and ends jobs around the castle, always a bit fearful that he would become the next meal, but around 18 he was offered a live in position in the left wing tower. He assumed that since they hadn't eaten him yet, perhaps he simply wasn't their taste. He took the job to send money back home. Little did he know that it meant almost complete isolation. Johnathan now lives in the left wing tower, attending to the needs of Dashiell. He's come to realize that he's probably never going to be allowed out of this tower as no one is allowed to know of its contents and the Krishkov's would never risk an accidental leak of information. When Dashiell has no need of him, Johnathan reads mostly. He feels that it does him little good to involve himself with the outside world as it creates only a longing for his freedom.

Likes: Books, the stars, fresh linens, the smell of rain

Dislikes: loud noises, crowds, drama, disruption from the routine

Extra: Johnathan left behind his parents - his father a full time worker in the shipyard, and his mother disabled and staying at home, and a younger sister.

Name: Elizabeth Jane 'Liz' Krishkov
Age (100-500): 224
Number child is in line: 10th
Sexuality : Heterosexual
Personality: Liz is quite the tomboy, in her younger years she liked to play rough and even now she enjoys a good friendly spar or wrestling match. She generally finds it easier to get along with boys than most girls. In saying that, however, she's not a particularly 'rough' person. Actually quite far from it. She possesses a bit of feist and can be rather stubborn when it comes to what she believes in. Even with this Liz has an air of sweetness about her.

Liz holds a heavy admiration and adoration for her father. She looks up to him, not knowing the monster that dwells within him. She loves the time they have alone together, although it's not hugely common between the 11 siblings and her dad's responsibilities. Despite her love for rough play she possesses a gentle spirit. Unlike most vampires Liz is rather with the times, enjoying the recent social acceptance of girls wearing pants (and the invention of jeans.) In saying that Liz enjoys dressing up on the occasion.

Bio: Having 9 older siblings has it's ups and downs. One of the positives is the feeling of protection. Despite growing up through large wars Elizabeth has always had a confidence in her safety.

In her first few decades, to the annoyance of some, Liz would often return home or address her parents with a fresh hole in her now tatty dress from either her adventures or from a spot of rough play with some of her guy friends. As she's gotten older the rough play has decreased to the occasional friendly brawl.

She's always held her father deep in her heart and from a young age showed she adored him more than her mother. In saying this, however, she loves her mother dearly. She has always enjoyed the company

Posessing a love for both of her parents and having not found her mate Liz usuly lives with her parents. She disappears time to time for days, weeks and (rarely) months at a time but always find herself back at her favourite place, home, eventually.

Likes:
~ Friendly brawls
~ Her family (particularly her parents)
~ Her friends
~ Cold weather
~ Heavy music
~ The look of a lagoon or such in the moonlight
~ Singing
~ Stargazing
~ An occasional glass of red wine
Dislikes:
~ All other alcohol and too much red wine
~ The pressure of finding a mate
~ Hot days
~ People (well, vampires) that look down on her or doubt her because she is young
~Staying still for too long
~ Yellow

Extra:

Name: Victor Peregrinans Krishkov
Appearance: Much can be said about Victor’s appearance. Perfection would be the word he himself would use. He keeps his hair rather short for the fashion. His dark chocolate eyes can sometimes appear as if there is no iris or pupil. Just a circle of dark in white. Like most vampires, Victor is rather pale. Though that is certainly not the most striking feature of his body. Victor stands an impressive 6’2” and is fairly muscled.

Age: 416
Line of Succession: Fifth born
Sexuality: Heterosexual

Personality: Cold, perfectionist, distant but loyal and industrious. Many vampires, with age, tend to gravitate to more artful personalities. Over time, merely experiencing culture is often not enough. They require to make it. Victor is very much an exception of this rule. He is a weak painter. Even though he might have attempted writing back when he was a mere 150 years old, these days he has accepted that he would never add to the world’s beauty. However, if not artful, Victor is many other things. He is a true fighter and holds physical prowess high. With ceaseless determination, he will continue once chosen a plan of action. In the modern days, he is considered cutthroat and harsh on everyone around him. Including himself. He expects nothing less than excellence. Some vampires would (though never in his face) call him a perfectionist bastard. But say what you want, sooner or later, Victor knows. And he is not of the forgiving kind. However, he is a loyal person. Proof your worth and you can be sure to be protected. He will follow every rule his elder siblings (and, of course, his parents) set.

Those who lived long enough might actually remember that Victor wasn’t always as cold and calculated as he is now. In fact, he still has a piece of his heart. But it’s sealed and frozen. While he will praise loyalty among those below him and protect them. It is not for any love he feels. In fact, he fears the attachment of love. He fears it makes him weak and worse: gives him a vulnerability.

So he will forever show himself as strong, cunning and cold.

Bio: So much happened to Victor. He was born as a sweet kid who easily trusted and had many friends. He loved his two older siblings. He never questioned his father’s decisions, not even the sealing of the west wing tower. Even from a young age, Victor seemed fascinated by duels and combat. He often found himself admiring the many swords in the house. As he kept growing older, it became rather apparent that, while he easily made friends, he didn’t seem to fall in love as quickly. In fact, when he was less than a hundred, he only ever fell once for a girl. A vampire but there was nothing noble about her. She was a sweet girl but shy. Victor, ever the people-pleaser, invited her towards tons of parties and she sheepishly agreed. The two grew close. Until, one day, her father vanished.

It broke Victor and none of his friends seemed to understand. They left him to his own devices and continued to revel in the midnight. Victor became lonely and abandoned. The once happy little child turned into a rock. He started turning into the person he is today. In his own words: he life only started when he turned a century. The interest in swordsmanship flared up. As did his desire for archery, hunting, and horse-riding. But he didn’t stop there. Between the age of 150 and 300 he traveled the world and learned the many ways of fighting (I am a purple flamingo). The marks of that travel can still be found in the form of tattoos on his limbs and back. Though he keeps those hidden now. But he didn’t travel the world just to learn how to fight. Victor became the very definition of the words: scholar-warrior. From his travels, he gained a healthy respect for humans and their ways of battle. Unlike his father, he still doesn’t shy away from their capability of destruction. He did visit his sister in New York in the 20ies. Though, obviously, he very much disliked the endless partying. After the second World War (which he spectated from a very close seat), he helped found a bank. That bank is now one of the most respectable financial institutes of the world and much of that is thanks to Victor’s hard work. These days he returned to the castle.

He thinks he is among the best examples of what an heir and a vampire should be: successful, powerful, strong. Though, privately, he fears his father might still dislike him as he hasn’t chosen a partner yet. Of course, Victor desires the close embrace of someone. Who doesn’t? there were days in his life that he came close but ran away. Fearing that love would make him weak again. Today, he once more holds the same fear. Yet he cannot run. For the one that he can’t stop looking at is Sarah Bach.

Likes: Books, maps, wealth, swords, weapons, his pet hawk, his two dogs
Dislikes: Weakness, fear, cowardliness, irresponsibility, attachment, incompetence
Extra: even these days Victor often likes to go on a hunt with his hawk and dogs. Though he loves a good walk just as much.

Name: Aaron Bachmeier

Age: 23

Sexuality: Gay & Demisexual (does not experience sexual attraction until he forms a personal connection)
Place of Residence: Krishnov Castle

Appearance: Aaron is a beanpole if you've ever seen one. Standing at a staggering 6'5" and weighing a measly 150lbs for most of his adult life, he's long and lean and undeniably lanky. However, the strict diet and exercise regime he’s been on for the past two years have put a layer of wiry muscle under his mottled skin and brought him up to a healthier weight of 165lbs. His skin is a common German white, although the hypopigmented patches on his hips, legs, hands and face make the rest of his skin look a little tanner by comparison. His eyes are an eerily vibrant blue, though his left eye has a wide band of dull hazel on the bottom right (example). His dirty blonde hair falls a bit over his ears and just under his eyebrows, and is dotted with premature grey. A starkly white forelock grows above his right eyebrow. (more on these abnormalities in Extras)

Personality: Aaron was once a gentle and trusting soul, a passive individual who couldn’t stand the idea of violence. Now, he isn’t so trusting, and much of the vibrant and excitable young man he used to be is buried under a bowed head and downcast eyes. He does what he’s told, eats what he’s given, and does his best to minimize his suffering. (to be developed further IC)


TL;DR He’s a musical genius with weird blood that apparently makes vampires high. He’s new in Krishnov castle.



Extra:
- Aaron was born with a genetic abnormality called Type II Waardenburg Syndrome. As such, he was born deaf in both ears, and possesses some cosmetic abnormalities. These include patches of hypopigmented (read: lack of pigment) skin, prematurely greying hair, mildly heterochromic eyes and a white forelock of hair.
This genetic abnormality had another effect on his physiology, one that would never have been noted had he not been taken as a vampiric food source: an intoxicating effect of the blood. While he has a very common blood type (A+), a vampire who drinks his blood will experience an intoxicating effect. Some only experience it mildly, finding themselves calmed and relaxed, like a human smoking a cigarette. Some experience a more intense sensation . This effect lasts roughly an hour and the feeling of satiation brought on by drinking his blood tends to last longer than drinking genetically normal blood.
- Aaron can read and write German, English, French and Swedish, can speak German and English (although his speech is notably… different) and can sign ASL (American Sign Language) and GSL (German Sign Language)
