*Slow turn* Uuuuummmmm. . . . I can't do M/F or F/F. I myself am a homosexual male, and have no real grasp on either being a girl or for lack of a better term, wooing a girl. As for when he is captured, I'd say, maybe a betrayal? One of his rebels was enslaved without anyone knowing it and he uses his/her influence to maybe stage a mission where the Brother would be waiting to capture him? What do you think? EDIT: Character Quick Referance - [hider=Alexi] Name: Alexi Vandros Race: Human Age: 31 Height: 5' 11” Weight: 147lbs Hair: Black, a little over shoulder length, strait, and normally pulled back in a ponytail. His bangs are as long as the rest of his hair and he leaves them loose, parted in the middle so they frame his face. Eyes: A very cold shade of blue Skin: Pale white Build: Athletic, like a gymnast. No bulging muscles, but deceptively strong. Clothes: He tends to wear an old red silken smoking jacket complete with a white cravat around his neck and a handkerchief in his left breast pocket. He favors dark colored comfortable cotton slacks and matching dark socks. At home he wears black leather house loafers as slippers. Accessories: When he has need to see far he wears smallish square classes with thick black rims that complement his features, and on his left hand he wears a ring with his family's crest on it. The ring is silver with and etching of a snake and a Chinese dragon entwined on the flat part. Powers/Skills(If Applicable): He has no powers of note, but he does have control over a large selection of very fine slaves and is an expert in handling them. He is rather skillful in business matters and never loses at negotiations. General Personality: He's always gotten his way, and that has threatened for years to turn him into a rather arrogant man. However this also makes it frustrating for him when his confidence is mistaken for such. He has little patience for those he feels are stupid, but likes nothing more than a lively debate with a worthy partner. He is fiercely protective of his older brother and will lose his temper readily if he thinks the man is in danger. He is also very protective of his slaves, though not to their faces, keeping a calm and detached front up around them. Background: Everything has always been handed to him on a sliver platter. After his brother supposedly threatened to bring shame to the family name, he had been disowned and Alexi had taken his place. Still loving his brother deeply, as soon as his parents were dead Alexi let him move into a small hut on the grounds. Alexi wanted him to move back into his old room, but his brother was a proud man and refused such charity. He even insists on paying rent, though not in cash because he brother wouldn't take it. Instead he took to doing favors for his brother. Alexi was well groomed for the job as head of the family and the business has flourished since he took over. When rumors of the resistance being close by caught his attention he made a decision. He wanted the leader, and nothing would stop him from obtaining that choice bit of property. Though he has secret reasons for wanting the Vampire, to most it seems as if he just wants the rarest thing out there for vanity's sake. [/hider] [hider=Mois] Name: Mois Vandros Race: Human Age: 34 Height: 5'9” Weight: 150lbs Hair: Black, classic schoolboy cut, kept slicked back most of the time. Eyes: Vary dark deep blue Skin: Tanned Build: Muscular build but not bulky with thick bones. Clothes: Spends most of his time in one suit or another, favors a red tie with a Fleur De Lis on it. High polish black shoes as work standard. At home he simply removes the jacket, tie, and shoes leaving him in a white button-up, socks, and his suit pants. Accessories: Simple black belt where he keeps his phone clipped on his right hip. He has a torso holster holding his two primary hand guns, with a third and forth on either calf under his clothes. Over his clothes he wears a fourth holster which holds his rifle across his back. Powers/Skills(If Applicable): He was top in his class for marksmanship and is the best sniper in his precinct and the five surrounding ones. Because of his job he's developed almost inhuman reflexes bordering on supernatural. He is very skilled in several forms of martial arts as well as kickboxing. General Personality: Mois seems to be a very cold and calculating man, his expression rarely changing from a cool detachment and then it's normally a calculating glare. He doesn't enjoy drinking or frivolous entertainment and that makes him rather antisocial. He seems a little awkward when he has to interact with others. The only time he relaxes is with his brother. When in public with his brother he seems almost constantly embarrassed by his brothers eccentric clothing and tenancies. In private he is content and very open as long as none of the slaves are about. Background: Mois is very secretive about his past and even has withheld from hos brother why he was removed as the heir to the company. He was a bit wild, and had several unruly friends, but after the incident he spent most of his time studying for school. Once he graduated he went strait into the academy and upon graduation was praised as the bet policeman the academy ever turned out. He was also one of the youngest. It was soon after that he also completed his sniper qualifications and received his license. After a few years on the beat he was recruited by the secret task force founded to eliminate the unnatural's rebellion and has been working for them ever since. Several times he's come close to getting a glimpse at the leader, and once he could swear he got off a shot that struck near the vampire. Unlike many of his fellows he's not all that enthusiastic about taking the rebellion down. He and his brother share a view that they are unwilling to share with the world, and as far as he's concerned, he only joined the task force to help his brother. [/hider] [hider=Erik] Name: Erik Schumann Race: Vampire Age: 243 Height: 6”2 Weight: 167 lbs Build: Muscular, but lean, not bulky Hair: Light brown, usually pulled into a short ponytail that extends just past his shoulderblades. Eyes: middle gray Clothes: Usually he's very casual, wearing black linen pants, black running shoes, and a dark green long sleeved shirt. His resistance cell doesnt have uniforms or anything, so he wears regular items that may not be designed for combat and stealth, but that generally blend with sneaking around at night and are easy to move around in. Accessories: A single necklace, worn under his shirt, with tough and thing cloth “chain” and a charm made of tin. The charm depicts the symbol of the resistance cell, a pentagon with three letters in the middle. X:F They stand for Xani: Freedom. The Xani cell is the name for the group that he commands. Powers/Skills: Erik is supernaturally strong, and can move at superhuman speeds, like any vampire. All of his senses are heightened compared to those of a human, so that he can see farther and more clearly, and hear sounds from a greater distance. In addition, tastes and smells are greatly enhanced, and both positive and negative tastes and aromas have a greater effect on him. This ability can be turned into a weakness by presenting him with a grating sound, or a particularly pungent and awful smell or taste, which would be unpleasant. In the case of sounds, anything too loud could be grating and even temporarily debilitating. General Personality: Erik is outspoken, easily angered, and often rude when discussing his beliefs. Despite this, he does try to keep his anger in check when the situation requires it, for instance if he knows that shouting off in anger will give the other side an advantage. He has a strong prejudice against most humans for what they have done to his people. As far as he is concerned, all humans are slavers who care nothing for anyone not of their kind until proven otherwise. That last bit is important, however. He will adjust his preconceptions if given enough evidence to prove that he was wrong. Background: Erik was born a vampire, the child of two factory slaves. He was raised technically owned by the head of the factory, but the man was relatively gentle and ignored him and the other children until they got older. Then they were to learn the trade for a year and be “bonded” by the age of thirteen. Erik spent lots of his short childhood reading, learning about the world, asking questions about why slavery existed. But none of it made any sense to him. Why punish a race of people for what previous generations had done to humans? So a week before his “bonding” was supposed to occur, he ran away from the factory compound. The vampire lived on the streets for a few years, fortunate in the fact that as a vampire he needed little to eat and drink to survive. Finally he was taken in by a rebel cell, where he learned their beliefs, and gradually came to hate humans more and more. They never forced him to fight, and for several years, he wished only to learn and study with them, doing chores to earn his food and lodging while inside the compound. But eventually he wanted to be a part of the action, and finally took up arms at seventeen. [/hider] [hider=Joseph] Name: Joseph Moreau Race: Vampire Age: 642 (looks early thirties) Height: 6”4 Weight: 157 lbs Build: Thin and fit, but few defined muscles. Hair: Dark red, wavy, cut short to about his ears, parted down the middle. Eyes: Blue Skin: Pale White Clothes: He wears an old-fashioned suit, reflecting his station as lead servant in the household, and suiting his master's tastes. His suit looks like the one in the following picture, though the rest of his appearance is totally different. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/2/27/Kuroshitsuji_Volume_1_cover.jpg Accessories: A simple leather watch, and a simple leather collar bearing a small carving of the Vandros family emblem, which he has worn for many generations. Powers / Skills: Same as other vampires, heightened senses and strength. The binding process weakens Vampires somewhat. But they are still far more powerful than most humans, just unable (and often unwilling) to harm them. In his spare time, he has also become an excellent musician, having learned the piano and cello. Personality: Joseph has become a kind of advisor to the men and women who have owned him in the Vandros family. He is kind, distant, respectful, and always follows orders. But, he will speak his mind if he feels his master or mistress is acting unfairly. He helped to raise many of his charges before serving them, and as such has often developed a rapport that extends beyond mere servitude to a distant friendship. Background: He was only 70, young in Vampire years, when the humans took over. But even at that young age, he had been a typical “violent” vampire. The kind who stalked the night and sucked the blood of virgins and all. When his kind were overrun, he was as furious as anyone else, and his first binding was of the strongest variety to get him to cooperate. But over the first two hundred years or so, he began to see that humans and vampires were at least equal, and that he deserved this life for the trouble he had caused, for the lives he had taken. After the first three bindings, the Vandros family no longer found it necessary to bind him completely to a new master, and only used the milder bonding measures. He stayed with them faithfully, and had learned to play the role of the perfect servant. In his mind, new Vampires who were not around during that time, and other more peaceful species do not deserve slavery. On a whole, he thinks that the idea is deplorable. But on a personal level, in his mind he is still serving a sentence for those he killed in his early life. His life as a slave has been a good one, as all but a few of the Vandros family have been fair masters that allowed him a relatively fair schedule, living quarters, and even the freedom to pursue his own interests during his free time.
