Becoming a vampire has drastically changed Edward’s life. He is thrust into the dangerous life of a vampire. He tries to keep his head down and avoid getting himself into trouble. However, he has found friends happy enough to discuss various subjects for many hours. He feels appreciated for once in his life for his almost endless knowledge on multiple subjects.

During combat, Edward usually cowers underneath or behind something. Fighting was never his strong suit. He will try to talk his way out of a fight. Most of the time, he says something offensive, which gets him into a lot of trouble. But most of the time, he will just run away. In the intellectual circle, he has found his place among like-minded people. He would occasionally be asked to give his opinion on ancient artifacts or vampiric lore.

As a human, Edward was born into a very dull, middle-class life, living with his parents and older brother in Rhode Island. Edward was timid and reserved as a young boy and into adulthood. He had no friends and found solace in reading about ancient civilizations and the occult. At a young age, he seemed quite perceptive of the supernatural, believing he had seen supernatural creatures or UFOs while wandering around the area. His obsession with the supernatural followed him into adulthood.

As an adult, he pursued a career as a historian and linguist. A career choice that seemed to disappoint his mother and father. But his brother was much more supportive of his career path. While at the University of Rhode Island, he would take classes and study for tests. Eventually, graduating but could not find good jobs in Boston and Maine. And after a couple of months of working odd jobs, he found a position at a well-known museum in Riverside, California.

Although he didn’t like the sunny and hot weather and would rather work in his beloved Providence, he was glad to have a job. He enjoyed his career and all of the history he could learn about. His life was turning around, and it seemed to give him hope for the future. However, his life changed one night when he was at a bar. He was approached by a stranger who seemed quite strange, but they seemed to have a wealth of knowledge. The two had a conversation that seemed to last for hours. The stranger asked if they would like to go back to his home. Edward was too excited to consider the danger of the situation. He never had someone take an interest in him. Going back to their place, they continued their conversation. Getting quite drunk, not knowing that the stranger was not having anything. And when he noticed it was too late, he wanted to excuse himself to return home. But the stranger moved in close hugging him, feeling a sharp pain in his neck.

A few hours later, he felt quite disoriented in his apartment, with his sire inducting him into vampire society.

Scholar

Edward usually keeps to himself, not wanting to involve himself in the politics of vampire society. He spends most of his time working, learning various historical facts, studying artifacts, and learning different languages. He obsessively keeps track of all of his findings in notebooks. He constantly has a pen and notepad ready. He is always willing to help if someone wants to learn about history or the occult. He is always on the lookout for artifacts and fetishes of the occult. On the subject of consuming blood, Edward prefers drinking from a blood bag rather than from a living being.

Weirdo

Edward is an odd fellow with quirks and habits that could be off-putting to others. He has strange obsessions with certain things and subjects, such as the occult, lamps, ancient history/languages, stop signs, and cryptozoology. His OCD/Autism symptoms as a human have been exacerbated ever since becoming a vampire. He is a man who is hard to please and even harder to deal with.

His mood swings from very happy to deeply depressed, making him quite unreliable in relationships. He is mostly very quiet and reserved, keeping to himself. He only starts a conversation when he finds someone interesting to speak to. Edward dislikes loud noises or being overstimulated. And can become easily stressed. He becomes hyperfocused on certain things, causing him to act irrationally.

_{P R O F I L E}
Being a vampire has changed Drake from a jovial and friendly guy to be much more stand-offish and gruff. He tends to stay stoic when he can, but when blood or answers are involved, he becomes an exceptionally excitable individual. The few 'friends' Drake has left get to see the 'good' in him. Deep dow,n Drake is just a scared young man lashing out in fear. To those close to him, he is loyal, compromising, and a solid confidant. To others, he's a bloodthirsty maniac.

In situations where he is in danger, Drake is a surprisingly cunning foe. Cowardly by nature, he prefers ambushes and rushes down before quickly fleeing if he can't make a clean kill. In situations where he had been cornered, expect the actions of a trapped fox, lashing out like a feral beast. At his heart, Drake is sweet, but vampirism has a way of tainting even the most kind of souls..

_{D A Y S - G O N E}
Drake grew up in a rough household. His family was disjointed and poor, and Drake learned to stay out of the house to keep his parents's ire away from him. He was raised by the streets, learning many hard lessons. Eventually, his rebellious teen phase led him down a life of crime. Selling drugs, minor thefts, and plenty of other petty crimes helped him get the things he wanted. As he grew older, he grew bolder and his crimes grew more in intensity. Muggings, pickpocketing and burglary were quickly added to the list. Drake's family abandoned him after he was sent to prison for his crimes and he spent three years trying to reform. As a young adult of 23, fresh out of prison, he decided to change his ways.

Drake moved away from his hometown, found a job as a janitor and tried to keep his head down in his dingy new apartment. Being alone was torture, and the pain of poverty slowly crept back into his life. Finally, after his car broke down on him he grew desperate and once again returned to a life of crime. Unfortunately for him it was short lived.

In an attempted mugging gone wrong, Drake quickly learned about the supernatural. His target, which appeared to be a rough and ragged man using an atm in an isolated spot was not as defenceless as Drake had expected. When Drake pulled a knife on the man, they where on him in a flash, biting his neck. In Drake's last moments of life he fought with his quickly draining strength, clawing and thrashing in vain.

When he awoke, the man he had attacked stood before him, blood still smeared across his mouth. They quickly explained what had happened, the embrace, and the hunger Drake was feeling. Then, they left in a flash before Drake could ask any further questions.

Lost in the hunger of a fresh embrace, Drake tasted blood for the first time in his life. The act horrified him, and he fled from town that very night, afraid of being caught and afraid of harming anyone he knew. With his car still broken down, he moved on foot, hitchhiking when he could but never staying around for long.

Drake spent the next year traveling the country, hunting for prey in the woods and countryside in an attempt to save himself from ever drinking human blood again. He spent nights in any shelter he could find: rest stop bathrooms, caves, barns, anything. When he made it to Riverside, he looked as ragged as he felt.

The local Gangrels found him quickly, angry that he had entered their territory unannounced. They asked him the titular question: "How many winters?" and when he gave them his answer, they took him in. Drake found no kinship in those who trained and cared for him, though. They encouraged him to lose his heart, to give in to the beast's call and become like them. Undead hunters of the night. Warriors of the Anarchs. Drake disliked the constant sparring and beatings they called lessons, as well as the camaraderie. Still, they kept him fed and taught him to form his claws so he keeps a polite relationship.

Loner

Drake may act as if he is too good for his kindred and use smarm and snide remarks to lash out for others. Deep down though his humanity is still intact and he wants nothing more than to do as little harm as he possibly can. He drinks from animals and blood bags, doing anything he can to never taste fresh human blood. He tries not to engage in human politics and crime unless nessecary and mostly keeps to himself. The less he engages with the world of vampires or humans the less collateral purely for his existence. He tends to try to endure punishment when he can and while it may make him seem like a groveling fledgling or an apethetic monster, he truly just does not want to esculate.

Survivor

Drake detest the vampiric fallacy that their humanity is a weakness. He clings to it and strives over anything to find a cure. He refuses to debase himself to the rituals and society when he can, and just wants his old crummy life. Even with every sign and older vampire telling him that there is no hope he would do anything to escape his curse.
