@MiddleEarthRozeThank you! I figure that if he needs tweaking then he can be tweaked.
Full Name:Vladimir Age: 333 years, 10 months, 22 days (looks about 22)
Born on: Saturday, January 1, 1676
Species: hybrid (Vampire/skin changer)
Gender:Male
Sexuality:Heterosexual
Appearance:Vladimir is 6 foot with a medium build. His eyes are a pale grey color that turn red when he is hungry. His black hair is short until it reaches the front of his face where a white streak covers his left eye. He is seen with a silver seemingly soldered shut hoop in his left ear and seems to have slightly longer then normal canines. Generally, he wears t shirts, tight jeans and pirate styled boots (something about the boots being comfortable). He owns a pirate captain outfit, there he occasionally wears when he's feeling particularly piraty.
Personality:sarcastic, obnoxious, and can generally be an ass. He is capable of compassion, but its a rare thing to find. Under all that obnoxiousness, he is depressed heavily so. His personality is much like his own personal wall. To get to his better side, one would need to chip through everything and manage to get close.
Backstory:Vladimir's story starts off in pirate days (for him about the 1700s). Where he was often found with some of his crew stealing from many a royal member in Russia using his unique ability of skin changing into a wolf to attack while his crew would grab the loot and they would meet up back at the ship. Until, he decided to go solo one night. This time, instead of a normal royal member, it was a vampire. Vladimir didn't run away, instead he attacked. He was doing fairly well until the vampire managed to inject him with the thing's blood in a primitive syringe, effectively getting blood into his blood stream. In massive amounts of pain he used a dagger to cut off the vampire's head then passed out. This injection lead to his hybrid nature, and lead to him living a lot longer then he was meant to. It also lead him to meeting his wife decades later. Falling in love caused for a large change in him, he fell head over heels for the woman whom others found plain. He loved her fully and completely, causing him to devote his world to her. This peaceful love story continued for half of her life. That is until the family of the vampire that he killed murdered his wife horribly. He managed to reach her while she was still barely clinging to life, he held her in his arms while she bled out from wounds and told him good bye. This devastated him, causing him to lash out on the people in the town and any vampire he could find. He was crushed, depressed, and full of hatred that had no where to go once he finished. Eventually, his personality slowly went back to what it was before he met his wife, that sarcastic obnoxious ass, that people either liked to hang around or stab. His old persona has become his own personal wall against his depression, and his feelings. Probably not the best approach to it, but its what he does.
Crew:
Vladimir started out as part of a Cossack crew when he was young (about 16). He was able to keep his skin walker nature secret, but easily moved up from a deck boy to becoming more of a fighter. However, when he reached the age of 20, he realized he wanted his own ship and crew. Finding this as no easy feat, he rallied up his own men (all skin walkers and shapeshifter) that were liked minded, and pack orientated or simply wanted the adventurous life Vlad offered them. He then took over the ship that his previous captain held by force (without revealing their true natures). From that point on he was more of a renegade pirate under no ruling but his own, though he often helped out the cossacks by attacking Russian royal ships that were often filled with either treasure, important messages, the royalty themselves, or a combination. He often would take a few of his crew with him to attack the royal or the captain of that ship, but the ship that lead to his hybrid nature seemed easy enough to do on his own. Things went wrong that day, the enemy ship fled to land, where his crew ended up fighting the enemy crew and Vlad chased down the royalty.
Extra: Abilities: (seem to be diluted for both sides, making him stronger then a skin walker, but weaker then a full vampire)
Super Strength:able to lift heavy objects and overpower grown humans.
Fangs:possess a set of retractable fangs. Their teeth are superhumanly strong and can rip open a human's neck and leave huge bite marks on the corpse of the victim it has fed on.
Agility:They can climb up walls and jump off buildings without hurting themselves
Senses:They can see in the dark, hear a human's heart beat, and possess enhanced sense of smell.
Healing:He has fairly rapid healing
Shifting: He can become a wolf (large black and white wolf)
Immortality: They can't grow old and don't acquire conventional diseases that affect humans.unless he gets killed of course
Other:
He can't seem to get drunk, but he loves rum.
He is sterile.
Generally carries an extremely old revolver with silver bullets and salt pellets along with a dagger.
He has what sounds like a Russian accent that comes out every once in awhile.
Past: He feels guilty about something that wasn't totally his fault, and its quite debilitating
Diet:
He feeds on animal blood found in a flask
He can consume solids, but he rarely does finding food tasteless
Liquor to him is one of the few things with flavor still.
TidbitsDeadman's blood: Seems to weaken him, to a lesser extent then full vampires
Silver: No effect, wears a silver soldered hoop in his ear (seems to be a weird nod to old vampire lore)
Methods of killing:
-Beheading
-Iron: Iron burns him much like silver does to others, he has no idea why iron works while silver does not
-Sunlight: He can walk in it
-Alive: He is technically still alive with a heart that beats, but it does beat slower then normal. Therefore, a iron dagger to the heart is also effective alongside beheading.
