Name: "Hmm... I think I'll wait until it's most surprising to tell you!" Age: Physically about ten, quite a bit older then that otherwise. Appearance: [url=http://i.imgur.com/aORVpPW.png]Rin recolored her eyes for me! And this is a better choice for the character even if it's still borrowing an appearance, eh-heh.[/url] Personality: To many things, the vampiric being's(she seems content to let people assume she is a vampire, and will be referred to as such for now) reaction seems to be polite disinterest. She lacks any care for almost anything that exists, finding much of it worthy of very little attention. However, she will be polite unless pressed and annoyed, in which case her responses become sharper and less patient. That said, she often speaks in a very charming and polite manner, and is generally somewhat willing to talk provided that something she's actually enjoying isn't interrupted. While perhaps not very much, she does find people somewhat interesting most of the time. The vampire will make for even more animated and pleasant conversation if she finds herself more interested then usual in a person. The more interesting she finds someone, the more pleasant and energetic she becomes. However, the charm, and in some cases teasing attitude, grows. In fact, the vampire often places some teasing in her interactions with others. One of the reasons the charm grows when she interacts with someone she finds more interesting is because she becomes interested in... tasting them. She does need to drink blood, after all, and while she wouldn't take enough to kill someone(that is simply unacceptable in her eyes... usually), she enjoys... getting a taste of those she takes a liking to. So her intent is quite simply to charm them into allowing it. The vampire is also a highly intelligent and articulate girl. She enjoys reading and has a vast knowledge of a great many works. She is somewhat playful about her identity, asking people to figure it out themselves, though she will reveal it if she feels it is appropriate. Finally, she finds fighting only somewhat interesting... most of the time. If a battle really gets her attention, she becomes quite a bit more energetic. It would be easy to describe her as incredibly hammy if she gets going. She also becomes much more threatening, her smiles becoming much less friendly grins. Backstory: The "vampire" was once a magical tome, one with some inherent magic but otherwise only a guide to the performance of spells. Its owner desired more then such a simple tool, and began to infuse it rapidly with the intent of casting spells directly from it. He was a brutal, cruel man, who wanted a tool to perform further cruel acts. He did not, however, suspect what would happen to it. As a result of infusing the book far too many times, it underwent a transformation... resulting in a pale, shuddering, confused girl where it once sat. While he was initially surprised, he quickly tried to turn things in his favor. He clothed and promised to feed her... and at first she believed him. Her personality, easily bored and surprisingly charming, quickly came through. Something happened, however, that the man did not expect. As he tried to use her as a tool for his cruelty, she grew more and more disgusted with him and his cruelty. On top of that, the vampire felt she simply wasn't being fed enough. So... she attacked and swiftly overwhelmed him, devouring every last drop of blood in his body. His guards attacked her as well. Not a single one of them survived. She freed the few remaining prisoners he had(and... satisfied what little remained of her hunger on a few of them, though she never got close to killing a single one as she did not want to). After that, she simply left. And for a long, long time she simply... wandered about. She flexed her charms, realized she had gained some kind of reputation, and cheerfully decided to be as mysterious as possible when it came to her name and true identity. However, she was quite friendly now, if easily bored. Finally, she came to Nekoyama. The vampire decided to settle down here... and somehow ended up with a small mansion and several maids in her service. Abilities/Equipment: The vampire is highly mobile and very fast, as well as dangerously strong. Even a very strong grown man would be easily overpowered by her. The only ways to kill her are the destruction of her heart or the severing of her head. All other damage is regenerated completely. Sunlight, while an irritant, does not effect her "Any longer", in her terms. It does sting her eyes and she requests a parasol if she must travel in it. In addition, she is incapable of tanning and simply gets painful sunburn. However, natural running water(including magical sources) renders her powerless until she can dry off, and religious objects make her sneeze(longer exposure to them causes her to develop a cold). The vampire can create illusions, disguising herself and others. These illusions are highly convincing, and it is difficult to pierce them. She can also disperse into a cloud of bats, reforming perfectly for rapid travel and dodging attacks. Injuring one or more of these bats will injure her, though she will regenerate upon reforming. She can manipulate the blood from her own body, or blood that's been spilled, to create spears and other weapons. However, if she uses blood from her own body it will drain her rapidly and make it highly necessary for her to drink very soon. Finally, the vampire can summon familiars out from beneath her skirt(which is one of the reasons she never wears pants). The appear in a dark mist that pours from it, taking the form of shadowy wolves and bats. While they are capable of seriously injuring a target, it takes only one strike or any kind to dissipate them entirely. ... Going to have a second character too when I decide on her. ^^;
