[u][b][center]Background:[/center][/b][/u]
Born in Dourdan, France in 1883, Nixon was a full human. He grew up properly with gold and silver lining his pockets. Married well and was expecting his first child. One fateful night it all changed. An intruder had broken in and slain his wife before his very eyes. Mouth dripping with her blood, the man turned on Nixon. He didn't provide Nixon with the pleasure of death. Instead, he had changed him into this.. monster he was now. 

Nixon's sire was not a very good one. When one thought of vampires or the folklore of vampires, it was usually him that came to mind. Turning Nixon was one of self-preservation and having a scapegoat for his diabolical plans. For twenty-five years, Nixon was kept in a cage like a crazed animal. He was fed only enough to keep him from dying completely. He was whipped with wolfsbane rope which was the naturally growing fibrous plant that could break and scar a vampire's skin. His face and hands were dipped in vervain gel to keep any special gifts from arising and causing harm. 

Then the Holocaust started. What you think you know of the Holocaust, forget it. Hitler was only a puppet used by Nixon's Sire to keep the truth hidden. It was genocide, that much is true. But it wasn't for the reasons Hitler or anyone else claimed. It was simply because Vlad “the Impaler” Dracula had his heart broken by a Jewish woman and he sought revenge in the most gruesome manner. Nixon's hand in it.. he was the night stalker. Not only did the victims have to fear gas chambers, being worked to death, and mass shootings, but they also had to fear the night stalker. He'd be unleashed into the various camps at night to feed. Driven by his hunger, his need for human blood to heal, and his training, he was a silent but very effective killer.

For 10 years Nixon was the night stalker. Caged and beaten during the day, let loose on the camps once a week for feeding. Never the same day, had to keep them on their toes. Finally, he had enough. His body couldn't take it, his mind couldn't take it. He was beaten, scarred, and full of self-loathing. Vlad thought that Nixon was completely broken and was nothing more than a mindless killer. He was very much wrong. When Nixon was released to go for his hunts, his maddening hunger took over. He just snapped and went for Vlad instead. It was not an easy fight, nor was it a quick one. He fought the man who had created him and had taught him all he knew. Finally, Vlad was just a pile of dust on the floor and Nixon was a free man.

Nixon fled his home and wandered Russia aimlessly for decades. Fighting the urge to kill humans, and learning to live off wildlife instead, he fell into a deep state of depression. He isolated himself from others, hiding from other vampires and humans. What he did during the Holocaust haunted him, the nightmares of his wife's death plagued him. While the animal blood kept him alive and sustained, it is only 70% of his dietary needs so he's weaker and a bit slower than other vampires. If he has human blood, he'd be faster and stronger, but at what cost? His mental state will snap.

[hider=Vampire Plot]A princess who grows up with a secret friend, a little boy who sneaks into her room at night to play... innocently. He vanishes around 12 years old and doesn't come back for 4/6 years. When he does come back, he sneaks into her room at night like he used to.. only to find out she is sick. She has a terminal illness that will kill her. He has to figure out if he wants to admit he is a vampire or not. And if he does, will he break the Vampiric Council laws about changing a human? The laws state that no human is to know about vampires or be changed into a vampire. I want to focus on their adventures trying to complete her 'bucket list' before she passes. The risks of leading a rebel lifestyle under the Council's noses. Falling in love. Then if he so chooses to change her, what grand adventures they have together afterwards. I'd like to focus on the good, the bad, and the scary. haha. I am also willing to double up so we both play females and males. She could have a female bodyguard/caretaker/best friend that ends up falling for his vampire mentor/guardian, finding out what they truly are. Any sort of reservations she'd have about that? Maybe even her changing first (purposefully or accidentally). [/hider]
[hider=Vampire Rules (subject to compromise)]
-* Hunts must be inconspicuous, with victims unlikely to be missed; their remains must be disposed of and territory must be changed often.

-* Incapable of self-control, and therefore a threat of exposure, immortal children are not to be created. Such creation is the ultimate taboo and punishable by death to both the child, the creator, those who defend the child and those who know of its existence.

-* False witness, regardless of intent, is punishable by death.

-* Hunting is forbidden in Venice, Italy, the town of residence of the Council.

-* The parent is responsible for their Pure born's behaviour and teaching of the laws before they can be released on their own. By letting a Pure born hunt conspicuously, the penalty will be death to both Pure born and parent. Even if the Pure born is ignorant of the law, their rash acts are still punishable by death.

-* Vampires' interaction with humans must not draw wide attention. If a human becomes aware of them, the vampire at fault would be responsible for silencing that human permanently.

-* Vampires are not to engage in romantic or sexual relations with a human. Humans will be terminated. 

-* Vampires are never to kill other vampires. Punishable by death, circumstances considered.

-* Vampires are required to have written permission from the Council to create a Newborn. Creator is responsible for the Newborn just as they would for a Pure born.[/hider]
