[b]Race:[/b] Dhampir

[b]Abilities:[/b] As an essentially half-blooded vampire, Shin retains many of the abilities of his full-blooded preginators. His strength, speed and regeneration are all superhuman, but increase to the level of any "true" vampire if he consumes blood. When night falls, he can take command over nocturnal beasts or assume their forms (wholly or in part). His movements are unnaturally stealthy, and Shin is capable of moving in absolute silence if he so chooses. His power amplifies with the more blood that he drinks, depending on the "potency" of the blood. He has yet do drink the blood of a vampire (considered the most concentrated form of blood), but strange rumors exist of what happens to a dhampir that drinks the blood of a "true" vampire.

[b]Strengths/Weaknesses:[/b] Given that he is only half vampire, Shin has access to only "baseline" vampiric abilities, and only after consuming blood. Granted that these are fantastic powers well beyond the ability of any normal human, they pale in comparison to what a normal vampire is capable of. His abilities cannot extend beyond that which he is currently capable of, though he can increase his skill in their use. His human blood does come with its advantages, however, as he can easily stand in the sun (though prolonged exposure will give him a particularly nasty sunburn), crosses and other such symbolic banes do not affect him, and he has only a mild allergic reaction to garlic. He ages, though still very slowly, and requires normal human sustenance, such as food, water, sleep and air, though he does not suffer as much from deprivation. Shin has an intense phobia of fire, and burn wounds take far longer for him to heal compared to "normal" wounds. As he consumes more blood to increase his power, his weaknesses also become intensified, and he runs the risk of falling into a beastial, mindless frenzy wherein he can only comprehend feeding and his own survival. When empowering himself with blood, he also loses his ability to swim; sinking like a rock when submerged in running water.

[b]Bio:[/b] The bastard offspring of a high-blooded vampire noble and a Japanese jazz musician, Shin was cast out of vampire society at the age of two for being an "half-blooded abomination." While not raising him out of fear of losing their standing within the court of nobles, Shin's vampiric parent hid him away in his home country to protect him. Never coming to know either of his parents or his true lineage, he was raised in a Tokyo orphanage until the age of thirteen, whereupon he was cast out from fear of his strange abilities. Shin was then taken in by a bosozoku gang, where he was valued for his strength and skill on a bike and in a fight. He spent his teenage years as a punk and petty criminal, eventually coming to perform minor jobs for the yakuza.

He was eventually approached by the being known as the Landlord, and then learned of his true nature. He was extended an offer to live among his kind and earn his living honestly; by protecting his own against the beings that shunned and hoped to kill him. Finding identity among the youkai, Shin accepted his offer, and has come to work as a bodyguard at Primrose Terrace.

[b]Other:[/b] He has an avid interest in motorcycles, combat sports and video games. His favorite food is golden chocolate doughnuts.
