Actually A Wizard
|
Preferred Method of Roleplaying: Drawn or drawn + text, but I will do text only too if you want! ![]() Name: Francis Valentine Race: Vampire Age: Late 20's when turned (turned less than a decade) Faction: Francis can currently be swayed to either side. Occupation: Owner of the Bleeding Heart, ex(?)priest, drunk Francis Valentine is a young vampire more faithful than a room full of priests. He presents himself in two ways- as a charming tavern keeper who keeps the drinks and music flowing, and a cold, defensive outsider with little patience for perceived slights. The truth lies somewhere in-between, mixed with a bit more naivete and compassion than he'd like known. Son of a renowned demon hunting Bishop and Mother Superior (separated), Francis grew up within the church and an especially rigid Irish hunter society. He learned at a tender age that supernatural beings were to be immediately eradicated to protect the flock, and how to most effectively accomplish this task. He also learned of God's love and Christ's compassion. He learned both lessons extremely well, but unfortunately they did not mesh well. After incidents of mercy for the enemy, sermons of compassion for monsters, even preaching faith to the non-human, the final straw came when Francis fell in love with one of them. Francis ended up breaking ties with the church and his family. Involuntarily. Nasty business. The official word is that he died in the service of the Lord, but a friend found him before he actually bit the dust. She had a very enticing offer, especially for a broken priest abandoned by his faith. Francis has obediently followed his master ever since. Francis runs the Bleeding Heart in his master's occasional absence. The inn is supposed to follow after as loyally as Francis himself, but after spending one night open in Streitstadt, the damn thing keeps going in circles, or not appearing at all some nights, and his beloved master is nowhere to be found. Alone in town, without his master for the first time since he's turned, Francis is doing his best to survive and live by his principles. _____________________________________________________________________________ Mentality/Behavior: Francis is slow to warm to strangers, unless they seem to be in need. He tends to make friends more easily while at the Bleeding Heart, especially with the supernatural. Francis can act aloof or aggressive on first meeting. His life has left him tough and short tempered; it is embarrassingly easy to rile him up into a rage. Despite this, Francis tends to look for the best in people, even when there's not much there. Easily impressed, he can be gullible, particularly while sloshed. Since getting stuck in Streitstadt, he has begun drinking far more. A drink or two can make Francis very affectionate... A very young vampire, Francis isn't too familiar with his own kind from the perspective of not trying to murder them. He is used to being cared for and following his master's commands, and is struggling on his own, not just due to stretched vampiric bonds. He tries to abstain from human blood, but doesn't have the willpower to always maintain his disgusting animal-blood starvation diet- he has been known to slip, but so far has managed not to kill anyone. Francis still does his best to 'live' by the book. He does not kill, even his animal meals. Despite conventional wisdom, Francis believes he is still part of God's flock, can save those in need, and that he may still have a soul left to save. He has a fierce conviction that he is still 'good'. If you get him started on religion, organized or otherwise, he tends to get preachy and passionate, to the point of quoting scripture. This will harm him unless well fed. Quirks/Physical Traits: Underfed, often marked by feeding on non-human blood. Sometimes hungover or simply drunk. He does not hold his alcohol well, but will certainly keep practicing. Usually prudish in his dress, tattoos can be glimpsed beneath his clothes. He speaks with a thick Irish accent, and may have trouble understanding subtleties of the German language. Strengths/Weaknesses: Francis is a powerful vampire with an abnormal tolerance to the Christian prayer and relics. However, abstinence from human blood means he's rarely at full strength. Animal blood keeps him going, but leaves him sickly and under-powered. Even weakened, strong emotions can bring glimpses of his lost strength, but may also undermine his own certainty that he is not a monster. Though fairly brave, undead creatures, ghosts particularly, make him uneasy. Personal Items:
Blood Preferences: When indulging in humans, Francis favors blood of the faithful, including priests. However, regardless of faith, meals willingly given, especially in the throes of passion is sweetest of all to him. He dislikes drinking from the fearful or anxious, but starvation has left him not all that picky. Still, he will try to soothe a terrified meal for a better flavor... & because that's just kinder! Right...? Relationships: Wip _____________________________________________________________________________ ![]() Name: Father Johnny C. Doe Race: Human? (He has a certificate of authenticity to prove it!) Age: Anywhere from 40-60? It's hard to tell due to his... condition... Faction: Church Occupation: Hunter-Priest for the Vatican Johnny is a gaudy, suspicious member of the Catholic faith who some have described as a 'lying snake bastard', and 'probably actually a demon'. Much to the dismay of his most of his peers, he is also a very high ranking hunter. Johnny has been a hunter as long as anyone can recall, with rumors of his deeds spanning numerous decades, crusades, and holy wars. Some stories are too far-fetched or simply too far in the past to possibly be true. Despite an apparent illustrious career, his legitimacy & motivations are often questioned by fellow hunters due to Johnny's strange and often abrasive personality and appearance. It is so frequent that Johnny has actually acquired papers verifying his rank and human status from the Vatican. Although Johnny claims to be a loyal servant of God, he looks like a demon and acts unstable. If pressed, he will blame this on any number of (often conflicting) reasons, none of which will involve the most obvious culprit- Johnny is able to summon and bend demons to his will. This rare hunter gift is seen as suspicious by the hunter community due to the negative implications, and the tendency for these tamers to carry physical and psychological quirks. He downplays and hides this ability, which has already left him as a bit of a black sheep within hunter society. Johnny moves around a lot. He's been all over the world on Church business, including an Irish monastery headed by Bishop and Mother Superior Valentine, and where one Father Johnathan Hopkins worked. _____________________________________________________________________________ Mentality/Behavior: Johnny likes to think of himself as a creative type; he wouldn't say he's prone to lying as much as being uninterested in telling the same story more than once. He hates being bored, and will work hard to entertain himself. Johnny is quite sadistic, which he happily takes advantage of while hunting. Unfortunately, it can also creep into his day to day interactions. Johnny is, to all appearances, an extremely faithful and capable member of the church. He has little patience for hierarchy and bureaucracy, and even less respect for authority. Rarely, when a superior matches his personality well, mutual respect and strong teamwork can develop. Though he exudes carelessness, he can become easily agitated under the right circumstances. He loathes losing control, and is generally unstable due to his own priest abilities. Johnny downplays the extent of this, and will brush off questions regarding odd behavior. Quirks/Physical Traits: Grinning constantly, wearing sunglasses at night, covered in furs , decked out in enough gold for ten altars, his considerable height enhanced by ridiculous heels, it's almost easy to miss Johnny's most peculiar quirk- his face is obscured by perpetual shadow. He has better night vision than day, and sometimes his wounds seem to behave oddly too, but Johnny chalks that all up to good old holistic medicine. Hunting Style: Johnny fights from the shadows, preferring to keep himself out of harms way as much as possible. He hunts primarily with a massive crossbow, using blessed bolts combined and various homemade substances to bring down his prey from afar. Johnny's verbal prayers are full of power, and can cause monsters to become disoriented, blind, crippled, stunned, and even send them to whatever afterlife awaits them. Johnny also has the power to summon demons and bend them to his will, which he uses rarely, as it can take a massive toll on him. Most assume that this is the cause of his strange personality and appearance. Strengths/Weaknesses: Johnny is a well connected, crafty hunter. He is very quick, stealthy, and intelligent, and is very skilled in his particular hunting techniques. He can talk his way out of most anything, and is good at coming up with creative, flexible plans based on decades (??Millennia???) of experience. He is constantly trying new tricks and adding twists to his old ones. Despite being a bit fragile looking, he is also strangely hard to kill. Johnny is physically weak, and an unrepentant coward. He dislikes pain immensely, and will go to great lengths to avoid it. While very cautious in many things, he also loathes being bored, and will put himself into dangerous situations simply for entertainment. He can also get quite obsessive with certain topics, people, or tasks. He also avoids certain chemicals for the aforementioned reasons... Personal Items:
