[quote=@cider] It's a WIP for now. Some changes/additions to be made, and I've yet to add relevant NPC:s. [hider=Gareth][B]Name:[/b] Gareth Allard [b]Age:[/b] 154, assuming the present is 2017. Appearance-wise early 40's. [b]Species:[/b] Kindred, Malkavian, Camarilla. 8th generation. [B]Personality:[/b] [INDENT]Gareth is obsessive, cunning, unyielding and not a little bit mad. He lives for his job, and his personality accomodates for it. Naturally investigative and curious, smart enough to know not to poke his nose where it doesn't belong yet clearly deranged enough to do so anyway. When Gareth is given a mission - or picks one - he will follow it through no matter what. As determined and brutal as he is in these aspects, as contradictory is other parts of his personality. Gareth is social and witty, laidback in conversations as well as life in general whenever not working. When he keeps his madness in check, Gareth is an exceptional detective and informant. He knows a lot of stuff and a lot of people, and a lot of stuff about a lot of people. His main hobby in life (death) is indeed his job, and he works with serious tenacity. Gareth has a photographic memory, something he makes use of along with his analytical skills. Gareth doesn't employ a large network of contacts like many others in his business do, but opts to go places and physically finding out stuff himself. He has contacts, of course, just not the numbers one might expect of a man in Gareth's position. He is not beyond using technology, but it's generally just not his forte. It is a common belief amongst people who know him that the only way to keep Gareth "sane" is to keep him working, as his focus seem to at least temporarily overcome his curse. He acts erratically, and can often be found writing nonsense on walls whenever he has a pen and time in and on his hands. He is impossible to offend, and treats others as if they were the same. He understands nothing of art, but loves it and collects it. Paintings, in particular. He likes plenty of other people, but isn't above killing any of them. Some (most) would call him a sociopath, but Gareth merely views himself as Gareth. He simply, generally speaking, does what he wants, whether it's talking, laughing or killing. Speaking of which, Gareth firmly believes that the laws of Camarilla should be upheld no matter what, yet seemingly has tremendous troubles not to break them himself. His mad streaks include, but are not limited to, an incessant need for tormenting various creatures, preferably Kine or Garou, a very strong need to drink blood no matter how recently he fed, a compulsive repression of his human memories and very, very real nightmares that sometimes occur when he is awake, as if they were visions. Indeed, he believes they are. Moreover, he doesn't even dislike Kine nor Garou, he just wants - needs - to brutally murder them.[/INDENT] [B]Biography:[/b] [INDENT]Gareth is the proud proprietor, owner and only employee of Allard's Agency, a private detective firm that isn't actually a private detective firm but rather a room in a deserted office building in the outskirts of Los Angeles, with a homemade sign reading "Allard's Agency" nailed to the door. Since the early 20's, Gareth Allard has been part information broker, part private detective and part hitman in employ of the Camrailla. During later years he has, however, had his hitman "license" revoked by the Camarilla as these murders seemed to ramp up his madness rather than take off the pressure, leading to less than satisfying results. Today, Gareth is the go-to-guy for many of Los Angeles' vampires (assuming they belong to the Camarilla - though he does sometimes help third parties against other third parties) whenever they need information, be it about other Kindred, Kine, companies, history or even themselves. He also undertakes missions of his own, usually merely in order to satisfy his curiosity, which is never satisfied. Gareth remembers little of is human life, but he believes he was a math teacher. Or a janitor. Or something else. Likely a murderer or similarly depraved individual, or so Gareth has concluded based on his own behaviour. What he does know is that he originally comes from Wyoming, that his father was a dentist and that his mother was not. He also knows he was embraced in 1863, because his now dead sire has told him so. He has had many dealings and contacts throughout his years in Los Angeles, and had he not been mad and instead actually cared about power and influence, chances are he would have been a very powerful and influential person by now. Instead, he has often been used by his ungrateful peers - but Gareth simply [i]never cared[/i]. He is popular amongst many Malkavians and have been so for quite some time, and while most vampires would never trust Gareth, they tend to like his antics whether they want to or not. Paradoxically, the orderly Camarilla clans seem to have the most problem with Gareth as a person, yet the most use of him as a professional. Presently, Gareth Allard is one of the premiere information brokers in the Los Angeles area, and he has gathered a vast amount of sources throughout the years. If one were to make him an enemy, he would be a very dangerous indeed - but how do you make an enemy out of someone who literally can not be offended?[/INDENT] [hider=Appearance][img]http://fc04.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2014/095/d/9/kamden_by_noiprox-d7cwvi5.jpg[/img][/hider][/hider] [/quote] CIDER <3
