[hider=Johnathan Mayes] [b]Name:[/b] Johnathan Mayes [b]Age:[/b] 25 [b]Height:[/b] 1.8m (6ft) [b]Weight:[/b] 78kg [b]Race:[/b] Vampire (newblood) [b]Gender:[/b] Male [b]Appearance:[/b] [img]https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/1f/4a/27/1f4a27e6e89d9a536e901173cf147afa--anime-male-hot-anime.jpg[/img] [b]Sexuality:[/b] why is this a question? [b]Personality:[/b] This world is a boring place, filled with boring little people. Vampires, humans, they're all just pawns in the game of life. Johnathan isn't content just being a cog in the machine, he want to run the place. He'll kill, cheat, lie and steal just to prove that he can, and he'll do it all over again just to prove it's easy to him. Everything in life is a game, nothing to be taken all too seriously, but it's a game that Johnathan intends to win. Malicious thoughts are hidden behind his smiling and calm façade as he laughs at the suffering of the world. He'll be polite to the end, smiling to your face even as he slides in the knife. Not because he hates you, and certainly not because of some silly ideology, but simply because he felt like it. [b]Biography:[/b] Growing up in a world that moved too slow for him, Johnathan's youth was a boring one, especially for him. He skipped several classes and majored at a very young age. Everything seemed to come easy to him, so he decided to look for a challenge. Interested in strategy, as well as science, he joined the military. He rose through the ranks fairly quickly, demonstrating to be a good soldier and an excellent commander. It was his skills in handling strange and complicated situations that drew the attention of the Covenant, and initially caused them to accept him into their fold. While not a full member he became one of their military contacts, responsible for providing them with equipment, backup, and occasionally covering up their activities. He relished these duties, greatly enjoying the challenge of balancing his covert actions with his duties as military officer. Rising through the ranks he became an important tactician and advisor both in the standard military and to the Covenant, occasionally even directly assisting in planning missions. At one point he was even put on a government-funded team dedicated to taking care of vampire actions called Soldier. Unfortunately the initiative failed for political reasons, and the makeshift organization swiftly fell apart. Of course, this couldn't last. On one of the missions he was involved with Johnathan's men managed to capture a live vampire, who was dragged back to his personal little 'bunker'. His behaviour got stranger and stranger as he began commissioning researchers for his own little projects. While he'd previously helped design specialist gear for the Covenant he was now doing other and stranger things, culminating in a stunning act of betrayal. One day he just vanished, taking with him all of his men and all of his equipment. Even when exerting it's not inconsiderable resources it took the Covenant a while to figure out exactly what had happened. His men were intensely loyal, and the Covenant's moles had either defected or disappeared. About a week later a caravan of trucks with Johnathan in the lead arrived at Magnus' proverbial front gate. Unloading a large amount of military-grade hardware and several captives he demanded to be given command of Magnus' army. While nobody knows exactly how Magnus responded to this, later Covenant reports indicate that Johnathan does perform some form of command function within Magnus' forces. In addition these reports would indicate that Johnathan apparently went through Magnus' entire army finding a suitable sire to vamp him, and then had that sire killed to prevent himself from being influenced. Stories also indicate that he's working on combining vampiric bloodlines, experimenting with werewolf DNA, and designing technology to abuse the more unusual properties of vampires. At one point Johnathan sent a captured Covenant agent back to the Covenant with a letter of apology for his defection, declaring that it was getting boring, and that he intended to live forever. It was signed with ' - your future ruler, Johnathan Mayes'. [b]Faction/Side:[/b] Magnus' Vampires [b]Abilities:[/b] When examining the different vampiric bloodlines and their abilities, Johnathan opted to become a Gabriellan vampire. His body is still 'alive' and he can be killed by severe damage to his vital organs, although he has a superhuman healing factor. While both his speed and strength are superhuman they aren't nearly as impressive as some of the older vampires. Rather the Gabriellan vampires specialize in mental abilities, and Johnathan uses this in order to psychically influence those who look into his eyes. The ancient vampire power of mesmerising their prey. Using this he can make people speak the truth, cause people to become more loyal to him, paralyze his enemies and even mind control people if they're willpower is weak. [b]Skills:[/b] Highly knowledgeable in a variety of fields, usually in the natural sciences. He possesses some of the greatest knowledge of vampire and werewolf biology in the world, and has extensively studied vampire abilities. In addition to this he possesses a great strategic mind, being a dangerous opponent on the battlefield for his ability to trick and outmanoeuvre opponents. Physically speaking he has military training and is a skilled hand-to-hand combatant/marksman. Lastly but perhaps most importantly is his social aptitude, the ability to read and manipulate people with ease. It's this ability that grants him his followers. [b]Strengths:[/b] Didn't I kind of go over this up there? [b]Weaknesses:[/b] - Arrogant to the max - can't use his abilities in sunlight - Dies instantly if a wooden or cold iron stake is plunged in his heart - Unwavering faith, especially of the religious kind, negates his influencing powers. [b]Likes:[/b] - Willing Pawns - Interesting People - Drama - Winning [b]Dislikes:[/b] - Incompetence - Predictable People - People who don't know their place - Losing [b]Other:[/b] Meet Stein + Johnathan, remade as a sort of Evil Sherlock. Enjoy. [/hider]
